Your site is beautiful. It sounds like you just need more exposure so here are my three suggestions: 1) Be my guest on our radio show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bbbclub. It happens every Tuesday night at 9:30 pm EST. Our listeners are forward-thinking black professionals who are keenly interested in recycling black dollars. That means they want to do business with you.
2) Join the National Black Business Trade Association. You won't find any spammers here as is usually the case with most business social network sites. In fact, spammers are banned from the site! There is no cost to join. You can read my review of the site at my blog at http://bit.ly/4sXlGp.
3) Finally, I'd like to profile you on my blog, BlackSuccessSecrets.com. I believe that if we all practiced cooperative economics, we could eliminate most of the problems in our community. You can either send me the questions you'd like me to ask or I will create the questions and interview you. Just let me know.
Another suggestion is to find radio shows on blogtalkradio that your target audience listens to and request an interview. Most of these hosts need more topic ideas so this could very well be a win-win situation for both of you.
Hang in there sis. Continue exposing your business and you will find leads and make more sales.
It's perfectly normal for your downline not to be friends and family. If you were starting any other business, would you look for employees just among your family and friends? Probably not.
Unfortunately, though, most mlm leaders advise their members to solicit their friends and family. As a marketing professional involved with a network marketing company, I cannot understand such bad advice.
Look at your product. Decide who your target market is. Go after that market. If your friends and family jump in, too, that's great but don't expect your friends and family to sustain your new business.
