Why Making Money From Home As A Marketing Consultant Requires Little Or No Start-Up Cash

It never fails that whenever I take on new students to teach about being home based

marketing consultants, one of them always asks if there are any other ways to get a

flood of clients beating down their door -- besides getting on the phone or hiring

someone else to get on the phone.

And one of the "hidden" ways of getting clients I like to use -- and I recommend my

students use too -- is simply examining what relationships you might have already

developed in your community and leveraging off of those.

For example, if you worked at all with the local printer or your accountant at some

point in the past, those are two businesses or entities that have businesses as

clients, and you can immediately go to them and simply say, "Could I offer a free

consultation to your clients?"

That way you both win:

You get a steady stream of good, qualified leads, and your accountant (or whoever

you do this with) has yet another "service" they can offer to his small business owner

clients without spending any money.

This is especially powerful if you have no money and are just getting started.

Forming alliances and partnerships costs you nothing but time and effort.

And you can realistically build a HUGE marketing consultant business simply by

leveraging any relationships you already have with people.

I did this a lot early in my career, too.

I got leads from my accountant. I got leads from a local printer. I went to the local Chamber of Commerce and starting joining a couple of the lead clubs that cost zero to join.

And best of all, besides the obvious advantages of you making money right away, a

lot of the businesses you do this with are only too happy to help you out. In fact,

many of them will probably even want to regularly share leads with you in exchange

for you sharing leads with them.

That way, you feed each other's businesses and make more money than you would

have by yourselves.

This kind of fast and easy way of getting leads and making money is just one of

many reasons why I believe starting a marketing consultant business right from

your own home is one of the best and most profitable home businesses you can

possibly have.

Why Making Money As A Home Based Marketing Consultant Requires Just This One Simple Thing

Although there aren't very many requirements to starting, running and making money (a LOT of money) with your own home business as a marketing consultant, there are a few.

And one of the big ones is you have to like talking with and helping people.

That doesn't mean you can't be an introverted person or even a little shy. But you

can't be like Obi Wan Kenobi from "Star Wars" -- living in the desert and doing it

totally by phone and Internet -- never seeing anyone and never talking with anyone

face to face.

I mean, yes, it can be done to an extent. There are times when you can basically do

it all by "remote access" over the phone and Internet. But those kinds of deals --

those kinds of clients who can do that -- are few and far between. And it just won't

work if you want to make a lot of money and get a lot of clients.

I'll tell you why.

Most of the clients -- the small business owners I recommend home based

marketing consultants go after -- get up early in the morning and they're at their

shop and they're working all day.

They don't have a minute during that day to pause and get on the Internet and play

around with the email or instant messenger to work out a deal with you and explain

everything you need to know about their business to get the job done.

Instead, they're doing what all traditional businesses do.

They're meeting payroll. They're buying inventory. They're figuring out ways to sell

more. They're at the office or store and they're there sometimes from sunrise to

well into the night.

So if you want to meet and work with these people, you need to meet them face-to-

face. Only when you get the ball rolling and doing your thing can you settle back

into your chair at home and do business via phone or Internet or whatever.

And while you will always have a few businesses who will meet and hire you online

or over the phone, for the most part you're going to have to get out there and meet

with people face to face. Get to see their business. Ask them questions. And get

the kind of information you'll need to help them you can only get by visiting the

business itself and talking to the people there.

And you know what?

That's really the only natural "inborn" skill you need to build a thriving home

business as a marketing consultant. You don't need a lot of money, prior business

experience or super sales skills. All you need (from a natural talent point of view) is

the ability and desire to talk with and help others.

The rest of what you need to know can be learned...quickly and easily, and without

needing a lot of time and money.

Making Money Online Requires Money

For an established business or a growing one, having a manageable debt can be viewed as good. I've seen many who carry on their businesses without any debt but there is nothing wrong with getting a loan to start or expand a business.

For a business to thrive it'll most of the time require capital and so you should not shy away from approaching a bank or a friend for a loan.

The thought of owing someone money sends chills down the spines of most of us and the fear is understandable. Some of us have had ugly experiences emanating from being unable to pay back money we borrowed from financial institutions or friends to invest in our business. This has resulted to loss of assets like furniture, vehicles and houses.

As much getting a loan is risky, nobody makes money without investing time and of course money. Using other people's resources like time and money still remains the best available method of generating wealth, for there is no one who is an island. But borrowing money to invest in a business must be approached cautiously and wisely. Therefore when a business owner is taking a loan he/she needs to consult and research on financial management capability of the business.

Small businesses should realize that once a loan is repaid, it goes a long way to improve the credit worthiness of their company and in turn enhances access to other types of financial facilities like overdrafts. In summary, caution and tact must be considered when borrowing money to start up a business or improve an existing business.
