A blog is a great FREE way to set up personal information. I have one set up that I have linked to my FB page and visa versa.
I work my business in all aspects, concentrating most on Fundraisers and Recruiting. I have a great team that I am teaching to do the same thing.
Hope this helps.

I've been with SS/MB for a little over a year now. I started taking the business end of things more seriously this past January. I'm going to be starting opportunity meetings in my area really soon. I was at one in a nearby county last night, and have rec'd such great ideas & tips! I am also going to be working craft shows & expos starting this Spring. As much as I'm not crazy about home parties, I am going to climb out of the comfort zone and try these as well. This is going to be a rockin' year for SS/MB and I want a piece of it! : )

I am working the business online.

Being able to work this business whichever way is best for YOU is the great thing about MiaBella, you aren't confined or limited in any way, your upline and sponsor should be able to design the best program for you.

There is training for home parties if that's the way you prefer, or lifestyling the business, party to go, and much more!

Great topic...

Locally, I work my business when I am out and about. I hand out 25 Hot apple pie samples every week (an average of 5 a day, 100 a month, 1200 a year) to anyone I meet. I simply ask "Do you burn candles?" If they say, yes, no or sometime. I say "I have a free scent sample I'd like to give you. I am working on growing my business locally, regionally and nationally. The next time you buy some candles, I'd appreciate your business" Typically they say thank you or smell great. I then say " Oh by the way, if you know anyone who would might be interested in making some money, I'm adding distributors to my team."

I do small local craft fairs to help brand myself and the candles.

I have 3 small business that currently have a candle burning in their office. And they keep catalogs there. This is something new I am trying for a few months.

I am also a web marketer. 50% of the time I spend on my business is online, networking, designing my webpage and creating excitment.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that there are options for anyone out there. With Mia Bella you are not a "robot" who is told you "must do this" or you wont be successful.

I encourge you to try a few different ideas, find what you love and RUN as fast as you can with it. If you love what you do...it's fun and doesn't feel like work at all!

Greetings Diane and Welcome to Mia Bella!

I too was a candle maker, and was SO pleased to find a company that offered such an amazing quality of candles, if I'm not making them, they better-be-a-bella!

I have worked my business mostly online since 2004, doing an assortment of boutiques, craft shows, expos, farmer's markets and such as well has having a local clientele.

Having cash in hand sales in a huge plus to get you rolling, then adding in the power of a residual income!





Light up your future with a candle business!
