Struggling to Get Leads and Sales in Your Home Business? Stop Selling and Start Solving These Two Problems

You were excited when you started. Maybe it was a network marketing company with great products, or an affiliate offer that looked like a sure thing. The friends you met in the company were excited too, everyone was posting, and it felt like you were on the right track.

But months later, the money isn't showing up. Leads are getting harder to find. Sales are even harder to close. And it feels like you're working harder every week just to stay in the same place.

If that sounds familiar, I want to share something that took me years to learn.

Jim Rohn taught that you get paid for the value you bring to the marketplace. It's simple to say and hard to live out, especially when you want people to buy from you and they don't see your products the way you see them.

I wrestled with this myself. I've been an avid entrepreneur and home business enthusiast for over 40 years, and today I'd much rather add value to my leads and prospects before asking them to benefit my business.

I know that sounds backward. But here's the truth: posting about your favorite company and its products, over and over, usually isn't bringing value to the marketplace. It's asking for something. And until you change what you're doing, you'll keep struggling.

Using a different approach goes against what most people in your upline will tell you. You'll probably think, "Why would I post about something other than my main opportunity when all my friends are promoting the same thing?"

Here's the problem: most people don't make real money until they start changing their tactics to strategies that actually work. Doing what everyone else is doing gets you what everyone else is getting.

When you boil it down, nearly every home-based business struggles with two things:

1. Not enough cash flow
2. Not enough leads

Most people never get help with either one, because they don't have leaders teaching them how to attract others by solving these problems.

That's why I haven't actively promoted my primary MLM business in about 15 years. For a new person, the obstacles are overwhelming. Where do they find the extra cash to afford the products and services? And how do they find a never-ending source of people to talk to, so they never run out of prospects?

When you solve those problems for people, everything changes.

About 15 years ago, I learned how to find the exact keyword phrases people search for on YouTube, and then make videos built around those exact searches. Every time someone typed in that question, my video showed up at number one, number two, or at worst number three.

That's real value. People type the same problems into YouTube over and over, and when you answer them, you're not chasing anyone. They find you.

About two years ago, I discovered a way to create extra cash flow by visiting two or three websites and spending about 10 minutes on a site.

It's my free Sweeps Coins method, and people can earn upwards of $400 a month without ever entering a credit card or making any payment. It's currently available to residents of 36 U.S. states. If you live in a state where it isn't offered, you can still connect with people through YouTube or social media who live in those states. They'll join eagerly, because it gives them cash flow they can later use to join your business.

When you can show someone how to earn money before they spend any, you've removed the biggest objection there is.

My second cash flow solution is what you're reading right now. I'm blogging, but on a platform that rewards me for sharing it with others, with 80% commissions.

That's almost unheard of. Reputable affiliate programs and MLMs simply don't pay that much, and 80% changes the game in a lot of ways.

Blogging is a brand-new piece of this. The Home Business Academy recently updated its platform significantly, and blogging was added to its many website-building features. It sits on top of a proven 10-year model that has paid out more than $7.5 million in commissions to its members.

Watch this short video to see how it works:

And there's a part I'm especially proud of: The Home Business Academy partners with the nonprofit Feed My Starving Children. Together, our members have provided over 462,000 days of meals to children in need who would otherwise go hungry.

Here's a short look at the work Feed My Starving Children does:

Many opportunities are only available in certain countries, which leaves you with a limited pool of contacts. When your tools and systems are available worldwide, you can help people anywhere and profit from that, while still focusing on people in your target countries.

It takes about 5 to 7 exposures before someone trusts you enough to become a customer or even look at what you offer. Today's follow-up email technology handles that for you automatically, so leads keep hearing from you while you focus on creating value.

Here's the best part: The Home Business Academy includes a built-in email system with deliverability that, in my experience, is unmatched. And it doesn't come with a monthly fee. Popular tools like GetResponse or AWeber typically charge around $20 a month or more just to run an autoresponder. With The Home Business Academy, the email system itself is free. You only pay for the emails you actually send.

You start with 300 free credits, which is 300 emails. After that, additional credits are just $15 for 15,000 emails. That's an incredible bargain compared to paying a monthly subscription whether you send emails or not.

If all you ever say is "buy my products" or "join my business, it'll make you money once you build a team of 300 or 400 people," it's not very attractive.

But when you help people create cash flow up front and give them a steady stream of leads, people are drawn to you. That's how I've built a never-ending stream of people who are open and interested in what I have to offer, and it's how you can give your future team members cash flow and leads to work with long before they ever need to sell anything.

Here's something that might surprise you: I didn't type this post, format it, or touch a single setting.

I connected my Claude AI account to The Home Business Academy, then simply spoke my thoughts out loud. Claude listened to everything I wanted to say, organized it, wrote it up in my voice, and put it on my blog, complete with headings, buttons, and the embedded videos.

Even the image of the couple at the kitchen table started as a quick description I gave out loud. Claude created that picture and placed it right into this post.

So to recap: blogging is now as easy as talking to your computer or your phone and watching Claude build and format your blog post for you. You don't need to understand HTML tags, web design, or anything technical about blogging.

And people are reading my blogs and getting genuinely excited about a simple way to create real cash flow just by expressing themselves on a blog, the same way I'm doing right now.

On Monday, October 26 at 8:00 PM Eastern, The Home Business Academy is holding a free, live public launch on Zoom to show off its amazing new features and benefits. You'll watch the new AI-powered Builder create a complete funnel live, from a capture page to follow-up emails, and see how blogs, membership sites and stores are built the same way.

There's no pressure here. Just register, show up, and get the information you need to decide whether it's a fit for your business.

Remember, this can be as simple as a $25 blogging platform that pays 80% commissions. The platform also offers other subscriptions that may or may not be helpful for you right now. In my experience, though, they're extremely useful, because they're all AI-based and give you marketing power you may not have realized was possible.
