When you look at your friends, it's like looking into a mirror. Take the sum of characteristics of the five people you spend most of your time with and you will be the average of that sum.It is usually quite easy to tell where a person is going by knowing whom she is spending the majority of her time with.Make a list of the five people you spend most of your time with. Next to each name, identify which category he or she fa
Have you thought about creating your own website, but thought it was way too much trouble or too much money. The truth is, it can be hard, but it can also be easy. You need to ask yourself the exact purpose of the website. Five basic questions to ask yourself as to before undertaking your own site, are:
What is your budget?
Do you know any HTML, PHP, XML or able to work with graphics?
What is your audience?
Will the site have static or dynamic content? (i.e. will it be updated on a regular basis)
Are you going to depend on search engines to bring in traffic?
The five somewhat simple questions can mean the difference from a highly popular site to a site that may get 1 hit a year. I know women that are in direct sales pay a good amount to have a semi-hosted web page with their direct sales company. Due to the terms of service with these companies, some companies do no allow women in direct sales to have external websites to list their products. When I say external websites, I mean your own domain name, hosted and setup by you. Here are two examples of company hosted and non-company or personal hosted sites:
Company Hosted
www.xyzcompany.com/yourname
yourname.xyzcompany.com
www.xyzcompany.com/index.php?=userid=yourname
Non-Company Hosted or Personal Site
www.yourname.com
product1.yourname.com
product2.yourname.com
When you have a company that you sale products for host your website, trust me, they are making money off you. Some offer them for free which is great, but a lot charge a monthly fee which only you know if it pays for itself. Here are some a list of a few PROS/CONS of direct sales company hosting your site:

The purpose of a 1- or 2-hour seminar is to attract potential customers for your product or service. The topic must be provocative enough to attract attendees, without sounding too much like a sales pitch with breakfast thrown in. Topics can be about the latest advances and/or technology in your industry; the impact of the latest political, legislative, or economic changes; increasing profits, reducing costs, avoiding unnecessary expenses,

Franchising companies must have a growth strategy and a franchise development plan and it is best if they stick to this and try not to deviate too much. Of course there will be opportunities in the marketplace, which must be considered as they come along but a smart franchising company will be careful with their growth strategy so they do not spread themselves out too thin and face cash flow issues or the inability to manage franchisees,

A CV (from the Latin Curriculum Vitae) Resume for our American friends has only ONE purpose. It aims to win you an interview. Once youre at the interview, the interviewer may use the CV as a basis for discussion, but it wont determine whether or not youll get the job. With this in mind, what are the most important aspects of a CV?1) Dont make your CV too longTwo pages length is perfect. There are some exceptions som

Generic site look. (looks like every other direct sales consultant)
Not able to list other products you may offer.
Search Engines will not index and track correctly. (more on this later)
Low traffic.
Both the PROS/CONS almost balance each other out, but again you have to ask yourself what the website is used for and how much you are willing to put into it.
How much headache are you willing to put up with and how fast do you want a website ready for the public. Are you thinking long term or just something to get by with? I know you would like to have a super cool, all-in-one; website that has everything including the kitchen sink, but I have to inform you, it can be hard work, but in the long run more profitable.
I know I keep stressing the question of asking yourself what and why, but it is very important you know what you want. Not only is it important to start off on the right foot, but it can save you a ton of money and a ton of frustration. If you are not sure of which way you should go, ask around, tell people your idea even if they know nothing about websites, talk to family members, talk to other direct sales consultants. Try to get a feel for the task that you want to under take. Other direct sales consultants will be able to tell you, if having a hosted website by their direct sales company is cost effective.
