Business Opportunity and the Power of Numbers

Written by: Paulette Sherb

Article Overview: Business opportunity has always been about the power of numbers. Finding effective ways to get your information and offers to the masses is what it is all about. The Internet has evolved into a giant marketplace. Anyone with Internet access has the potential for communication on a global level. Learning how to harness the power of numbers is the challenge you face if you are considering an online business opportunity.

Business Opportunity and the Power of Numbers

The Cooperative Marketing captures the essence of team work online. Delegating marketing strategies based on the skills you already possess is basic to the team. Forget duplication, it rarely works, and yet this outdated marketing technique is still being taught to unsuspecting entrepreneurs who are trying to build a home based business online. Working as part of a team that nurtures your strengths and skills makes so much more sense. Learning new techniques is encouraged and supported by team members and mentors.

What can working with a group and a good business do for you?

Well, that's really up to you! Working with a group gives you a broad support base. Very often online entrepreneurs are struggling alone to build their home based business and have no one they can turn to if they have a question or need some help. I love working at home and, as long as I know what I am doing, everything just hums along fine. When I run into a snag, something that I am not familiar with or want some guidance, there is no one in my home I can turn to. Teams can help to provide information, guidance and support so you never have to struggle alone again.

Teams form when like minded people come together to accomplish a mutual goal. We are all familiar with community service Teams like the Lions or Shriners and even the Red Cross, who pool the talents of their group members to improve their community and society. The combined talents of the individuals is the fuel that produces some very substantial results. The benefits to a community when they have an active service group is priceless.

Online Teams are no different. Online Teams form because like minded people come together, usually to build a home based business, a goal that often would not be possible as an individual. The internet is a vast storehouse of knowledge, technology and innovation. Like the name implies, cyberspace has become a universe in it's own right. That universe is growing exponentially everyday and it is still in the infancy stages in terms of universal growth. Technologies are created or enhanced every day and, by the time they reach the average person, many are already outdated or obsolete.

Cyberspace is blossoming in explosive growth in every quarter! It is virtually impossible for any one person to keep up with this burgeoning resource. Even the best and the brightest innovators and creators who are spearheading the advancing methodology of the internet don't know it all. I believe it is safe to say, "The right hand doesn't always know what the left hand is doing!"

We are living history in the making. Cyber technologies have already changed the way we live. If you don't believe that, just try and imagine what life was like just a few years ago. Can you really imagine not having all the gadgets we take for granted that just did not exist 20 years ago? No other resource has had such a widespread impact on the global community.

Teams are changing the way business is done on the internet today. The foundation of any business opportunity is customers. Without customers you don't have a business. A customer is by definition someone who purchases a product without the expectation that they will earn money from their purchase. A customer buys because the want the product. The Cooperative Marketing Model is based on purchasing customers to create a solid foundation for your home based business. That's right purchase customers NOT leads!

To say that any home based business on internet is the business opportunity of a lifetime is an understatement. As new and improved technologies are released to the public the potential for prosperity skyrockets. With such a fluid medium an individual can not hope to stay at the front of new trends. Doesn't it make more sense to work with a group, where you can learn from the knowledge and experience of a large number of people? A group where you can pool your talents with others to reach a common goal?

Teams are leading the way for like minded people looking to build a successful home based business. Pooling talents, sharing expertise, and teaching people how to market their business opportunity on the internet will bring each member within reach of their goals. Don't expect a team to build your business for you. Teams build their individual business together instead of on their own. Pooling of your time and effort and sharing in the rewards does make a lot sense. There is not a lot of room for egos in this type of cooperative effort and working together requires collaboration at all levels.

Home based business online has evolved over the last decade. Techniques that worked wonders a few years ago are less effective today. Email marketing, though still powerful, has lost its edge as email boxes are constantly filled with unwanted information. Working with a well rounded team gives you the advantage of getting results as you learn new skills. Its good business.

The Power of Ten - Do you want to save money and time? Make the most of your marketing efforts? The Power of Ten™ is about taking the concepts of repurposing and leveraging “to the max”. It allows you to innovate and discover new possibilities for any marketing you already have in place. Here’s how it works: Make a list of the most recent 10 marketing items you’ve created or paid to have created. If you don’t have any materials, you can simply list the pieces you plan on creating. Now pick one. It could be an article, ad, poster, anything you have used recently as a marketing tool. Take a fresh look at it. Brainstorm and free write until you find at least 10 different ways to use that piece. You can do this with as many pieces as you want, but for now start with just one. It’s amazing how much time, effort and money you can save using The Power of Ten™. Below is an example using The Power of Ten™ with this very article. Even a very short piece, such as this, can benefit from The Power of Ten™. Here are some ways I can use this tip: 1) It’s part of a new marketing program I’m creating that may be called Marketing Full Circle. 2) It’s on my blog. 3) I can tweet it (knowing that it will show up on LinkedIn and many other sites which display tweets). 4) I can go over to LinkedIn and post it to a group. 5) I can it to my ezine subscribers. 6) I will send it to my clients. 7) If it is a longer article, I can try submitting it to an Article Bank, or two, or three. It started out as part of an answer on Focus.com 9) Eventually it will be part of an eBook on marketing tips. 10) I mention the concept often at speaking engagements.
