My goal, when I started this blog, was to post every day. I would tell you what I had done that day to promote my home based business, and the results that I was seeing. Unfortunately, life got in the way of posting. This post will start to detail that activity.
August 8, 2011 - I signed up to be an Independent Watkins Associate, for Watkins Products. I did this over the phone. The person at the call center who signed me up told me to be sure to go online and accept the business terms.
I also Googled places like Craigslist, Yahoo Local and Business Finders, in the hopes of placing ads on these sites. I found I could not access the Watkins website. I fired off an e-mail.
8/9 - My login information was in my e-mailbox when I checked this morning. I did some exploring around the website, and noted my web page address, www.WatkinsOnline.com/lawrence, for orders, and my Watkins e-mail address, www.lawrence@watkinsonline.com
8/10 - I printed off some temporary business cards, and placed a basic order for catalogs. After much thought, I also purchased a bundle of products to familiarize myself with them. This was a decision that I thought long and hard about. I will discuss this practice in a later post.
My upline, or assigned sponsor left a message on my answering machine, explaining that she was my Watkins go to person. She left her toll free number. I immediately thought of a couple of questions, but did not have the time to call her.
8/11 - I participated in a training call for new associates at 8 p.m. This hour long call did have some good information and ideas. I was told that Watkins, unlike some other home based businesses, does allow advertising on Craigslist and other sites of that nature. The main thing was that it has to be very clear that the advertisements are coming from an independent Watkins associate, and that we cannot promise that people will get rich quick.
To be continued.....
