Increasing sales through effective and low-cost methods is one of the ways to help promote and turn your home business into a very profitable second income. In fact, many people are able to be a distributor as a full time income after they have gotten fully established.

There are some fun and inexpensive ways to increase sales when you become a distributor. A distributor is an exciting home business to have either part time or full time. The more items that you are able to distribute the more successful your business will be. Increasing sales through effective and low-cost methods is one of the ways to help promote and turn your home business into a very profitable second income. In fact, many people are able to be a distributor as a full time income after they have gotten fully established.

1. One way to increase your sales without costing you a single cent is through a technique known as suggestive selling. Suggestive selling is suggesting a complimentary product or item to go with the customers order. For example, if you order a fast food meal the cashier will often ask you if you would like a dessert with it or if you would like to make it a large. The cashier is following suggestive selling. How would you do this as a distributor? You can verify your customers orders for your products and services with a thank you letter or a confirmation letter through the email.

2. Another great technique for increasing sales is to offer free shipping and handling. This will enable customers to receive your products without being charged additional money. In the majority of businesses you can deduct the cost of shipping and handling from your taxable income and profits. This means that free shipping and handling does not end up costing you anything in the long run. In fact, many people will not make an Internet purchase if there is not free shipping and handling offered by the Web store.

3. Provide a free gift with a minimum purchase. This will increase the potential for sales because often people will buy more than they normally would have because they like the free gift and want to receive it. For example, if you distribute nutritional supplements you could offer a small skin cleanser or a free nutritional supplement bar with a minimum order of $25. The profit that you make from the minimum order should exceed the wholesale cost of the item you are giving for free. Distributing wellness and health products is an excellent home business because there are many inexpensive items that you can offer as free gifts with minimum purchases to increase your over-all sales on the Internet.

4. Another option for a free gift is to offer the buy a minimum number and receive a free gift. For example, you can offer every fourth product is free as long as it does not exceed the cost of the lowest priced item. You will more than make up the difference for the wholesale cost of the item and you will ensure that the customer orders a minimum of three products that you have to distribute. This is an excellent way to increase your sales and keep your customers happy. Consumers enjoy getting bargains and receiving free items.

people think their idea is unique and start a business without doing the market research first. You have to do your homework, find out who are you competing against and what are they offering.

When you first decided to work from home online the one thing you had in mind was a brilliant idea. Or so you thought. Like many more before you I bet you started your business without knowing much about the industry. You knew inside that your idea was great and that it was going to bring you a lot of profit.

You arent the first and probably not the last to start a business just from an idea that he or she thinks its the perfect one and then find out that many people before them have tried the exact same thing and havent made any real income from it.

Many people think that all it takes to work from home on line is to create a product, create a website and just wait for people to come and buy it, yet no one does.

This scene is very common because people think their idea is unique and start a business without doing the market research first. You have to do your homework, find out who are you competing against and what are they offering.

One thing you will always have to look out for is prices. Understand how competitors are pricing their products and you will start making profit. For example if most competitors have the product priced at a certain price then this means thats the price buyers are willing to pay for that product. If you raise the price you might be surprised to find out nobody will buy that product from you.

However if the prices vary than its a safe bet to say that if you put a higher price on that product you will get some sales.

Another important thing is to analyze what the competitors are offering. For instance if a person is selling the same product you are selling but offers besides that product many more bonuses and you arent offering anything else then be sure people wont buy anything from you.

Know what your competitors are selling and you will be able to place your product perfectly in the market so you will get as many sales as possible. For the example above, if you were to sell your product at a price that was significantly lower then your competitors you might get ahead and make a profit by selling more then them.

Also think about what are your competitors relying on to sell their products. Why would somebody buy their products and not yours? Understand these things and you will become more creative in your offering and youll be able to touch certain aspects in your sales that will bring you in much profit.

Analyze the market see your competitors strong points and weak points. If you know what they are doing well you can imitate them, and if you know their mistakes you can avoid them. Use this and you will get ahead.

These are just some of the things that competitors analysis can help you with. Understand the market and you will become the leader in your niche.

When you are desperately seeking a work at home job, most often that not you tend to “buy” into an opportunity without doing much research

If you are one of millions of people who are looking to find a work at home job online then you simply MUST learn to spot a scam. Online work at home scams are now frequently referred to as “Dot Cons” after the term “Dot Coms”. When you are desperately seeking a work at home job, most often that not you tend to “buy” into an opportunity without doing much research. Hundreds of dollars later you’ll find out the hard way that you were a victim of a scam!

Here are 7 ways to identify a scam and how to avoid them.

1) Extravagant Claims

Many websites or work at home opportunities will promise you that you can make “millions” in a matter of days. Many will display their so called “proof of income” on their websites, which often turn out to be touched up pictures of fake checks or bank statements. Don’t fall for these “gimmicks” If you feel that these claims to riches are extravagant, then guess what? They are. Get all claims and promises in writing before you sign up or pay to join at any of these websites.

Remember that if the claims are real then these companies will have no reason to deny you real proof on request. If they refuse, you KNOW it’s a scam.

2) Read The Fine Print

Many fraudulent websites bury the fine print in tiny letters at the bottom or their webpage or on another page with a link to it that’s hard to find. Make sure that you read these fine prints for any clauses that can come back to bite you if ever you want your money back. Click on all the links that provide more information and make sure you read them completely. Do not simply assume that the website is legitimate. Assume that it’s a fake and let it prove to you that it’s real.

3) Look For Privacy Information

Many websites collect your personal information like your name and email address. Make sure that these website tell you exactly what they intend to do with it. If they don’t tell you what they will do with it, it’s time to move onto another website because the chances are that your personal information might be shared – or worse – SOLD to others. Make sure you don’t volunteer information such as your SSN or Credit card information unless you are absolutely sure of what the website will do with it.

4) Look For Business Name, And Contact Details.

Legitimate businesses and websites will always display their business name, address and other contact information clearly on their websites. If you do not see any contact information, then be very skeptical about that site. Shady websites won’t display this information since they don’t want you to contact them. Do you really want to do business with suck a website?

5) Know What You Are Getting Before You Buy

Many websites refuse to tell you what they will provide you with until you pay for it. This is unacceptable. You, as a consumer, MUST know before hand what you are getting before you buy. I’m not talking about knowing the exact details of a work at home job, but you should at least get SOME idea of what to expect after you pay. If a website does not clearly state what you will receive once you pay, you might end up getting scammed. So be weary and always make sure you know what you are buying.

6) Refund Policies

Some websites clearly provide refund policies. You should be able to return the goods or ask for your money back within reasonable terms. Many legitimate websites will let you get your money back as long as you ask for it within 30 days. But some plainly state that you simply WILL NOT receive your money back. Be weary of these types of web sites. The reason they are afraid of refunding your money is because they anticipate many refund requests. This is a BIG reason for you to NOT do business with this type of website.

7) Beware of MLM type websites.

MLM or multi level marketing websites are related to pyramid schemes. These scams can be easily spotted since their claims to riches are made purely on mathematical probability and nothing else. These schemes are almost always a scam and their claims to riches are simply unrealistic in real life. If a website depends heavily on mathematical probabilities of you making money and if that is the ONLY proof they offer you, you might be about to get ripped off by an MLM scam. It’s time to move on!

The bottom line is that you simply must use common sense when looking for an online work at home job. Think of it as looking to buy a new car or a house. Use the same attitude, even though the price tag is much smaller. Remember that the risk involved is almost the same since you are investing your hard earned money or lifetime’s savings on ONE website. So you better make 100% sure that you aren’t the next victim of “Dot Con” scams.
