New Low Start Up Cost for Your Own Home Business

January 6, 2016

Start Your J.R Watkins Business for a New Low Price!



Last year J.R Watkins did a trial run on a new low sign up fee. The regular fee was $39.95 for the year. But, with so many people opting to sign up digitally in today's day and age, Watkins decided to lower that price for people who signed up electronically.

The logic is simple really, it costs less to enroll yourself than to go through Watkins and have one of their staff take your information and process everything.

How The Low Start Up Cost for Watkins Works


The only difference between the two methods of signing up is what you get in the mail. If you pay $39.95 and sign up through the phone you will get a packet in the mail with a welcome letter, a catalogue and some order forms.

With the electronic signup you get your ID# right away and you are set to go! You can order your products either on the J.R Watkins website or via telephone. This includes products you want for inventory or to start using yourself or marketing materials like order forms, tablecloths for doing markets and catalogues!

Commitments and Quotas


There are none. It's that simple. Order as often as you would like. To be paid any bonus either on your own sales or your teams' sales you do have to have at least 100 Central points each month (that works out to about $100) but that's it. You don't have to put in orders if you don't wish, or build a team or order every so many months. The business is flexible and ready to work with your schedule!

Why Have a Sponsor When You Join Our Business

If you are thinking of joining J.R Watkins and starting your own business you will want to have a sponsor. A sponsor is someone you can go to with questions and who can lend support to you when you need it. Below are some of the main reasons why you should have a sponsor when you join JR Watkins.

A Watkins Sponsor Can Help Coach You

This is your business and any helpful advice can really go a long way. Your sponsor should have quite a bit of experience and be able to answer your questions quickly and correctly. It is also good to have a sponsor who knows how to best manage a business, work with advertising and has ideas on the various methods of selling.

You also want a sponsor who isn't pushy or puts pressure on you to work outside of the pace you want for yourself. This is your business and a JR Watkins business is flexible in that it allows you to work at the hours that work for you.


A JR Watkins Sponsor Can Help You Advertise

Every Watkins consultant is on their own for advertising so if you can find a sponsor who can help you advertise and offer tips for advertising that's a great thing. Some sponsors have created their own 'team' websites where they list the consultants on their team so local customers can find them. Ask your sponsor if they offer something like this and if there is any charge for it.



Choosing a Sponsor

It's important you feel comfortable with your sponsor and have confidence in their ability to help you with your business. Feel free to ask a lot of questions and if your sponsor can't (or won't) answer them, feel free to keep looking for a good sponsor.

Your sponsor should be committed to the Watkins business and be available to help you. They should also be part of a strong team (having a good upline of managers) so that if you can't reach your sponsor you can reach someone in their upline.

Who Can Sponsor Other Consultants With a Watkins Business


Any Watkins consultant can sponsor someone else. This is why it's so important for you to choose the right sponsor for you and your goals. Many join under someone they have not researched properly and then are disappointed when that sponsor is not around to help them, nor are they part of a solid team so the new consultant is left with a tough start with their new business.

Tamara Laschinsky, Indep. Watkins Consultant & Sponsor #378193

I've been with Watkins since 2009. I have over 210 consultants as of today on my team, all across Canada and the USA. Some have joined to build a business, while others have joined simply to get discounts on their own personal purchases.

I am not pushy, nor do I try to make anyone do anything they don't want to do. I send out a team newsletter each month to keep everyone in the loop and I offer two other perks to those on my team:

  1. I run a website called www.GoGreenNorthAmerica.ca that lists consultants by Country and then Province/State so customers can find local Watkins consultants. This site is only available to my team and downline (so anyone you sponsor). It's free and ranks in the top spots of Google searches.
  2. The Advanced Training Program is another perk I offer to my team and downline. Again, it consists of a monthly newsletter and archive of past newsletters (accessible from our private Facebook group). The program focuses on specific training to help you grow your business including valuable tips on marketing, advertising, sponsoring, selling and more.
 I am also part of The Summit Group, which is a group that offers tons of training, webinars, resourceful information, contests and more. They also offer you a free sponsoring website that you can send prospects to (those looking to join the business.) Membership to The Summit Group is free to you and anyone you sponsor.

This is what I do - I am an Indep. Consultant with Watkins and I work on this and other things as my full-time business. I am committed to helping my team members grow their business and succeed. I have a great upline manager and she has a great upline manager as well. Both of them are always available to help you as well, should you ever be unable to reach me. Together we make up a strong team with the same purpose of helping consultants however we can.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at info@NaturalProductsOnline.ca. I'm here to help and answer any questions that you may have about the business. If you want to get started and sign up as a consultant with Watkins, you can go to their main website at www.JRWatkins.com. 

Click on Sign In/Create Account and then Join as a Consultant. If it doesn't show up automatically, enter in my ID#378193 as your sponsor and all of the other information on the form. Your enrollment will take about 1-2 business days and then you can expect an email from me welcoming you and giving you more information!

The Appeal of Owning Your Own Home Business

Have you ever thought of owning your own home business? Perhaps you've even tried to start one up before, only to find out some 'hidden' rules that hampered your success. If you have, you are not alone! Many individuals start up home businesses without fulling realizing what they are getting in to.

What is Good (the Pros) About Home Businesses Anyways?


There are many great perks to owning your own business, including having the freedom to create your schedule and balance your work/life schedule as you see fit. Many pros of owning your own home business also include:
  • Spending more time with family (great for stay at home parents)
  • Earning extra income for, or during your retirement
  • Earning extra income while on disability
  • Having freedom to come up with your own ideas and see the success of something you have done and worked hard for
  • Flexible schedule to accommodate for sick days, medical appointments and even having more than usual vacation days!
But what about the cons? Certainly there has to be a downside to having your own home business? You bet your bottom dollar there is! You need to be motivated and be able to motivate yourself when the going gets tough - and it will get tough from time to time. Nothing worth doing will come super easy in life! If you think you can sit back and rake in millions, please let me in on your secret because I'd love to know about that too!

What is Bad (the Cons) to Owning a Home Business?


Seriously though, there is hard work involved, just like any other business, home or otherwise. Some other cons are:
  • Setting up and sticking to a timetable/schedule. It's easy to go off track and while it's great to be flexible you can't get into 'lazy' mode!
  • Feeling inadequate. Face it, many people consider home-businesses not 'legit' and don't realize how much work goes into them. You will work harder than most people do who work for high-end jobs! Still, it takes awhile to get the business launched and stable (like any business) and you just need to ignore people who think you don't have a 'real job'. Especially if you are raising a family at the same time - now you are working even harder and most people will not understand that at all! (Trust me, I know!)
  • No steady paycheque. Hey, I'm being honest with you. You are not on salary. You are commission-based and you get what you put in. Some months are great, some may be slow. As your business grows you will certainly gain stability but you have to be realistic with your money and goals.
  • Here's a pro and a con - No one to answer to! It's great in one way but also, you are on your own. This doesn't mean you don't have anyone to ask for assistance, we'll get into that below! But being your own boss can be scary and if you have that reaction, you are totally human!

What Kind of Home Business Should You Choose to Start Up?


Now, I'm going to say J.R Watkins because I manage a team of over 210 consultants across North America, have been with the company over 5 years and LOVE the products and company itself. However, the real answer is:

Whatever business you believe in!

Do your research and find out all the answers to the questions you have so you can make a sound business decision. Questions you need to ask:
  • What is the investment cost to be a member/consultant etc
  • Are there any hidden costs/fees
  • Any min quotas or monthly sales requirements
  • Can you sell anywhere (online, at markets, do home parties)
  • Are you restricted to territories or where can you sell geographically
  • What kind of support do you have (upline support)
  • How long has this company been in business and do they have a good track record of paying commissions
  • What kind of revenue can you expect to make and in what timeframe

What Companies I Tried Out: Avon, Partylite & J.R Watkins

 When I was a stay at home Mom I was looking to make some extra income and something to keep me occupied when my child was sleeping. I had heard of Avon but didn't like that you had to buy catalogues (campaigns) every 2 weeks. So that was out. Plus I heard you had territories so that wasn't my cup of tea either.

I did join Partylite because I loved candles and smelly stuff and was super excited when a rep came to visit me and explain the program. A few things were left out when being explained to me but I still paid over $200 for the starter package and got my supplies. I took some orders from family & friends but was really dismayed when I found out I couldn't sell anything at our local market (Partylite rules). I was also upset when I was contacted by Partylite who told me I couldn't have a website with their stuff on it or facebook page since they weren't into the online presence thing yet. (not sure if this has changed but at the time I had to take down my personal website and facebook page). I also found out that if I didn't place an order every x amount of months I lost my status as a consultant and had to place an order totalling a certain amount in order to 'regain' my status and get my discount. So, that was the end of my Partylite career! Never ordered again.

I had also joined J.R Watkins at the time, mainly because my mom and her friends were looking for a consultant. I tell you, best thing I ever did! I ordered a little here and there at first but soon I had people who wanted to join up under me. That was fine, what questions they had for me that I didn't know my manager did and she's awesome! (As is her manager!) It didn't take long for me to create a website to post listings of all my teammates and to create a program to help them grow their businesses (My college degree in Business Administration: E-Commerce & Marketing certainly helped here!)

Over the next few months I reached manager status and my team continued to grow. Most of my business is done online since we aren't restricted by territories. I don't place many customer orders which is fine since Watkins doesn't have any min order requirements or monthly order requirements! Their start up cost is only $39.95, no need to buy any 'packages' which is great! I continue to work with my team and help those out who want it and I make a comfortable income doing so. The business is stable and reliable and best of all, allows me to work at home, allowing me flexibility with my schedule for the important things in my life!

 This is your business choice and one you need to be comfortable with. I say JOIN Watkins! Only because I know how well it works and how well known the products are, but you have to make your own choice and feel right about your decision.

If you want more information on the J.R Watkins business you can get it here....

You can also email me anytime if you have any business questions and I'll be totally 100% honest with you. My job besides being an J.R Watkins Indep Consultant & National Team Manager is to help others make smart business choices and coach them if they want it. This is what I do and I love it!

All the best!
