Secrets from a math teacher's success in running a home based business

Do you really think these two careers are so different? I always thought they were. I was a math teacher for 15 years of success in a very prestigious school and I'm finding success in internet marketing. On my way to work the other day I found some interesting parallels.

1. Immediately report. In this day and age of "helicopter parents", the best thing you can do is announce to the parents of your students by e-mail that is committed to communicating with them regularly about your class and their children. The groups to send emails after the first week and immediately became the first teacher they trust. How can this be applied to your downline? It works in exactly the same way.

2. Be reliable. As a teacher who has taught in "high power" school districts, I had to deal with people who are used to getting what they want and they know the value of hard work and loyal people and respect these qualities. They want to work with people who are reliable and will give their best effort when it comes to their children. How do you think that people who spend money for a home business feel their sponsors?

3. Offer a smaller or giving something away for free. All parents know that I am there for their child. They know that I will give extra help during my free periods or lunch in order to help their child succeed in my math class. Offered after school, as well. Additionally, I tutor students and treat them as a business with the best ethics. I never charge for more time and were rewarded for this to end. Most tutoring is by references to this point. So once again, as those professions differ so much?

When I started a home business might be completely out of my territory and I just read everything I could about internet marketing. Just recently, however, I found that some of my most successful means of dealing with parents was also my most effective means to deal with my downline and people wanting to work with me in general. I like that the two careers came together....
