A Bit About Me, Tracy Austin
I know when I am looking for something like a business opportunity online, I like to be able to get to know a person a bit to decide if they are someone I would like to know better. So I wrote up a short bio about what I am doing online right now. For the past 6 years I have been at home with my children. I have two who I of course believe are exceptional and perfect! My daughter is 6 and my son is 2 and a half. I’m married to a great guy who allows me to be myself. What a gift that is…
Before becoming a mom I was in the culinary field, working as an assistant pastry chef. Loved the job, but working in a professional kitchen is hard physical labor! Not something I saw myself doing long-term.
So when I got married I decided to leave the business and began working in an office environment. That was a form of torture for me, so when I gave birth to our daughter, we decided I would be a stay at home mom.
I didn't start working online right away, but I did join a couple of MLM's that I did not do well with. I have always wanted to be good at network marketing, helping others start a business and begin working towards the life they most want to live. But I didn't enjoy the activities of approaching friends, family, strangers about my business. My personality is more, live and let live, so I needed to find a better way to build my business.
Then the company I was withwent out of business on Oct 1st 2008! That threw me for a loop as they say, so now I'm starting again from scratch. Which is fine since I found an opportunity that's an even better fit for me.
The purpose of this blog
In order to be successful in mlm without making a list and showing the plan around town, you need a system that you can use and share with the people you bring into the business. So I'm using my blog to share tools, tips, ideas and anything else I come across that you can use to build your mlm (or any) business, online.
I created this page because I wanted to have an overview of what I am doing available to anyone who stops by. So there are links throughout the text that lead to my other blogs and profiles. This way you can learn a bit about me, and decide if and how I might be able to help you get started or be more effective in your current mlm and/or home business.
My philosophy
I feel like we all have something special to offer the world, that gets buried under all of the do’s and don’t s of our society. Do you remember when you were little and felt like you were something special? I certainly do! It didn’t take long for those around me to put me in my place though, so to speak. This happens to us all, and usually by the teachings of well-intentioned adults. (the road to hell is paved with good intentions, yes?)
So we start to believe that all there is to life is getting good grades, being popular, being fashionable, buying the latest cool stuff, and then graduating to begin working the best job we can get so we can continue to buy the coolest stuff and maybe our own home, until we retire or die. Yuck!
Life is truly meant to be joyful, and for some even reading that statement causes discomfort. But it is included in every spiritual teaching in one way or another. We are meant to be happy, to thrive and to prosper. We all have something unique to add to the world, but we live in a society that by design teaches/conditions that out of us.
Because I enjoy not working for someone else, and because of the economic situaton that we are all living in right now, I am building a business using the Internet and my phone and computer. Even if I had someone to watch my kids for free, jobs are not abundant right now, and we all know all you can do with a job, is make a week-to-week living wage.
What I'm doing to build my Internet Income
Some of the tools I use to get the word out about who I am and what I do are my blogs. I have one on my former business , it still gets a lot of traffic so I keep it up, one on MLM in general, a new one about Silver, an old one on Blogger about MLM. I just started using a company that provides free Internet marketing tools (high quality) and one with inexpensive advertising packages that pays cash back to all advertisers. The cash back one is launching a new list building opportunity that you can join for free, and mail to for free (unheardof!). Details are at the link above.
I also use social networks like Cre8buzz, Network Marketing Central, Care2, and Facebook. Some are more current than others, lol!
Have you heard of Qassia yet? It’s an interesting new way to get back links to your websites and blogs, by just writing and posting articles about things you know. I also recently joined a MLM that helps members get all kinds of things for free. It’s only $9.95 a month with no sign-up fee, which is nice.
Call me toll-free anytime at 1-413-773-0779 with your questions about anything mentioned here. I’m happy to help you find a way to work from home that works for you. and to brainstorm about ways to help each other out.
Peace and prosperity,
Tracy
