SOHOnet.... is a FREE ASSOCIATION of SOHOs*...small and medium businesses, entrepreneurs, sole traders, professionals...anyone who wants to share information, resources, ideas, training, special skills.... network with others in order to promote their product, service or business opportunity ...and build a strong customer base. (*SOHO - Small Office Home Office)
We all want to EARN A DECENT LIVING....
Make More Sales ... generate bigger profits ... earn more money ...
as FAST as possible...
using minimum cash outlay...
and the least 'sweat equity'!!!!
It is likely that every SOHO entrepreneur looking for ways to market and promote their own business or service has experienced the difficulty and high cost of reaching 'dependable' customers in the marketplace where the 'big Gorillas' dominate the highly effective media options... especially radio and TV.. shout louder and longer than we can, and swamp our best efforts! Worse still...they can usually negotiate much lower rates than SOHOs ever get because of the large and continuous advertising revenues they generate for the media bosses. All of which leaves the... SOHO... small business at a massive disadvantage.
Yet, we all know very well that NO ADVERTISING gets you NO BUSINESS earns you NO MONEY !
To counter the big Gorilla advertising and marketing superiority, SOHOnet has devised a simple little program which enables SOHOnet Associates to engage the Multiplier Effect (just as the BG's do) to reduce costs of marketing our products or services.
Traditional advertising means that we pay Peter (the media) to tell Paul (the marketplace) about our business offer, service or product. That puts the media in control of our destiny.
We need a system where we ... that's SOHOs ... small businesses working together... are in control.
So, here's the strategy SOHOnet has devised...why not pay Paul directly to look at our business offers. Now, instead of making the media moguls rich we get to promote our own businesses and, as a welcome bonus, we each get paid some of that 'adspend' as we promote our businesses. That's cool, very cool!
Before we move on here are some questions for you...please consider them carefully.
1. If I, as an entrepreneur like yourself, offer to pay YOU US$5 for a few minutes of your valuable TIME to check out my business, service or product would you accept the offer? No, this is not a trick question!
2. Would you be delighted if ten, one hundred, a thousand or even more, business owners made this same offer to you? Stupid question, but we have to ask because so many business people simply do not understand how something like this can work in their favour!
3. If this outcome can be reasonably certain would you be prepared to join other like-minded business entrepreneurs, make a tiny bit of effort, and spend a miniscule 'one time' sum of money in a joint marketing exercise to make it happen? Individually, as small businesses, we will always struggle to be noticed. If we hope to match the big Gorillas we need the power of numbers....lots of us little gorillas.
To make it work we need SOHOnet! And to make it work SOHOnet needs YOU! ... That's WIN/WIN.
You do want to get people 'out there' especially other entrepreneurs, (who also use other products and services) to know about your business, product or service, don't you???? So work with us!
If your answer to the above questions is 'YES' with a commitment to follow it through, we can proceed with an excellent probability of success. Now, I could easily offer you US$5 to review only my biz but that will get neither of us very far. (That would be like Tom Clancy writing a new 'Thriller' and selling it to just one reader!) However, if we build many small teams in strategic marketing alliances and pool our resources, especially the power of SMS, e-mail, and word-of-mouth we will be able to engage the Multiplier Effect through leveraged marketing ... akin to 'Compound Interest' in financial speak. Now we can reach ten, one hundred, a thousand or more entrepreneurs ... all of us in business for ourselves. Can you see where we're headed and appreciate the power of this plan? Archimedes is reputed to have declared: "Give me a lever long enough and I will move the Earth!" Einstein, asked what he considered the most powerful force in the universe, answered without hesitation: "compound interest". We agree with both their sentiments. And we apply these principles to network our businesses.
"Bees accomplish nothing save they work together .... and neither do men" Elbert Hubbard
"Bees accomplish nothing save they work together .... and neither do men" Elbert Hubbard
Those of us who are already committed to this program, want to promote our businesses and we're delighted if we can generate some passive income in the process!. (Tom Clancy knows very well that he can write the 'Thriller' but can only sell millions of copies as part of a team....alliances with publishers, book stores, Amazon...where everyone profits. In effect he pays each of them to sell his book! Take note: everyone profits! ... even if they don't all make the same amount of money. 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing. While Tom Clancy works with bookstores and Amazon to generate thousands of sales, we use SMS, e-mail, word-of-mouth, leaflets and imagination to invite visitors to our personal SOHOnet Promo websites.. To make it worth the effort each participating business person gets paid, in teams of four-member mini marketing alliances, to reach a large targeted network to review our business or service offerings. Different tools, different strategies, same result....we all get to promote our businesses and we all make extra money! I'm sure you'll agree that this focused approach using mini marketing alliances offers an innovative alternative ... perhaps more effective for you than the traditional 'scatter gun' media advertising tactic? You need only share this with a few dependable business people who understand the principle, and let the leveraged marketing do the rest. (leveraged marketing is often called 'viral' marketing in e-business speak. The result is a financial reward ... for effort made once ... duplicated many times. Applying this principle, by the way, is how Mark Shuttleworth and Elon Musk ... both young South Africans ... became internet $billionaires in their twenties!!!
Remember, in our program, revenues derive from funds we are currently losing to media advertising. Imagine just how much we are collectively contributing to the comfortable lifestyles of media moguls. Now it's our turn!
This is an invitation for you to join one of our mini marketing teams ...but, if you feel that you can do better 'going it alone' or using traditional media, or you can't make the small team effort required ...rather log off now.
Still with us???
so simple, anyone in business can do it.....................so effective, everyone should!!

give opportunities a chance to find you "

The Road to YOUR SUCCESS ... or Failure ... is in YOUR MIND.
"Think you can, think you can't. Both ways you are right"
Henry Ford
"There is nothing either Good or Bad, but thinking makes it so"
William Shakespeare
Don't imagine or create or think there are barriers ... where there really aren't any!
Time for ACTION. Without ACTION even the finest idea will come to nothing. Action, garnished with Persistence is an unstoppable force. The vehicle we will use to reach our destination is Leveraged Marketing... It's direct, simple, powerful, fast, and cost effective.
Our AIM is to get thousands of new potential customers (all business people themselves) for our businesses, and to earn a few thousand dollars) ....just for agreeing to review other businesses and services. Why should we do this? To earn the money and because you cannot know if a product, program, service or opportunity is of interest to you ...now or in the future...until you know what it is. Essentially what we are creating is many mini marketing nets each made up of an alliance of four team members.
Here's the deal in a nutshell: if we are going to spend many hours of our valuable TIME checking out other peoples' business offerings why shouldn't we be paid to do so? Haven't we been doing it free (sometimes even paying) long enough??? Better than paying some ad agency, and then expecting people 'out there' (including you and me) to check it out for nothing, don't you think?
TIME is a non renewable resource...once it's passed it's gone forever.
TIME is a non renewable resource...once it's passed it's gone forever.
Here's the nitty-gritty of the plan.
1. To reach a fairly large number of business people, and several thousand bucks in earnings, we do not each need to contact thousands of businesses, we each need to communicate the idea to a dozen or so dependable entrepreneurs who can visualize and understand the principle of ... leveraged marketing ...and agree to join us.
2. If you decide to join our program this is the point where you pay four entrepreneurs to review your business. To keep it simple, SOHOnet will assign you a Ref ID, create a web site for you and include your Ref ID in a mini co-op alliance with three others. Getting involved is easy...
a. Fill in the form below and submit. That gives you free membership to SOHOnet.
b. Transfer US$25 to SOHOnet at the account detailed below. Only do this if you choose to participate in our mini marketing alliance program. Check the appropriate option box.
3. SOHOnet, as part of the marketing alliance between you and the other entrepreneurs, will distribute your business information and make a US$5 payment, to each entrepreneur in the relevant mini marketing team. They will review your business and you will get their details. The other US$5 is an admin charge to make sure it all goes according to plan and includes your web site, with your Ref ID, created for you.
4. As soon as you have your marketing web site...exactly like this one...with YOUR Ref ID now included in your promo team of four, you can send out invitations to netpreneurs to join your SOHOnet marketing alliance. Simply invite them to visit your SOHOnet web site. If they understand how it works, they'll join us ... It's the smart thing to do!. (If they just don't get it we'll be happy to explain in more detail..!)
As each new co-operating entrepreneur participates in the program, an ever increasing number of SMS's, e-mails, or other material with your Ref ID included, are sent out to the growing number of entrepreneurs, by you and your mini marketing alliance partners. You get the Url, the e-mail address, and US$5 (deposited in your designated account) from every SOHO entrepreneur who submits his business to you for review.
Well, getting all that promotion for your business and money coming in sounds very sweet, but can you lose? Even if you join the marketing program and then make absolutely no effort your Biz will still be listed on our SOHOnet Associates website and promoted as a seperate entity. Participating in our marketing program is a proactive way to get your Biz out directly to the eyeballs of a broader audience of potential customers and ...earn passive income for your effort. Of course you'll discover that you get a lot more value from your membership of SOHOnet than just an optional marketing plan.
"At every crossing on the road that leads to the future each enlightened spirit is opposed by a thousand fools self-appointed to guard the past." Maurice Maeterlinck
When the mini marketing alliances have done their job you could have your biz information out to thousands of SOHO business owners in your new contacts list, a few grand in your account, and a lot of new businesses to review in your own sweet time and to use when you need them. How many entrepreneurs will decide to buy your product, use your service? You'll only find out if you take ACTION ... join SOHOnet ... get your profile out there!!! With all those dependable entrepreneurs checking out your offering there have to be some...it's what this marketing initiative is all about. SOHO's need to support each other ... before using the big Gorillas. We must make sure that we use SOHOnet members services when we need them.Only then will we all prosper!
It should be clear that while your immediate goal should be to bring about ten business people into your marketing net, there is no time limit in this program. It can be applied this week, next month, next year, at no extra cost, by on-going promo initiatives from you. Make a point of handing out an invite leaflet, with your business card, to any business people you meet. Every business person you introduce to SOHOnet is a potential source of immediate income and, future custom for your business. As long as there are promo SMS's, e-mails etc. circulating with your Ref ID on them you'll have the potential to generate custom and earn more money. The more mini marketing alliances you are associated with the more you can earn. It really is that simple! It takes just five business people to join your mini marketing net to cover your participation cost!
Although this has to be the easiest program ever no absolute figures for possible earnings or new custom can be given as this depends entirely on how many entrepreneurs agree to review your biz.
SOHOnet will mail you the details and URLs of the entrepreneurs whom you have paid to review your biz. Now, to get other entrepreneurs to pay YOU, invite other business people to join SOHOnet. In addition to the web site, a variety of printable promotional ideas are offered on the web site and you can use your own if you wish.
