This is a question I get asked regularly, and my answer is always the same — “Sure, making money with Watkins is fun and easy, but like any business it does require you playing a role in the business.”  Too often I see people looking for an income opportunity that pays them without them having to do anything.  This is what I call unrealistic expectations.  It’s not what I call “looking for a business,” but more akin to “looking for a handout.”

Watkins is not a get rich quick opportunity, but instead its an opportunity to get rich over the course of a few short years if you treat your Watkins business like a business and devote regular time to building and operating it.  Although a Watkins home-based business will not run by itself, it is an easy and fun business to run.

I am living proof that Watkins is indeed a legitimate business opportunity.   I know many successful Watkins associates and all love their home-based businesses.  The type of people that own and operate Watkins businesses run the gamit, from school teachers to stay-at-home moms, from plumbers to dentists, and carpenters to retired senior citizens. 

There are many great things about the Watkins home-based business opportunity.  For example, it truly is a business you can start on a shoestring (i.e., $39.95).  It truly is a business that is purposely designed to begin as a part-time business and build into a full-time business over a 3 to 7 year period.  It truly is a business that offers outstanding products backed by a moneyback guaranteee and a company with an impeccable reputation.  Watkins, for example, has never had a single product recall in its 140-year history.  Millions of households use Watkins products.  So finding customers and finding others who wish to sell Watkins is a piece of cake if you’re willing to lift a finger and dedicate 7 to 10 hours of every week to your Watkins business.

I regularly sponsor and train Watkins associates and help them build successful businesses of their own.  I’m not pushy, high pressure or demanding.   Why?  Because rather than push someone into a business using high pressure tactics, I prefer to work with people who are self-motivated, serious about starting their business on day-one, and will dedicate a few hours of every week to their business. 

The final question you may have after my description of Watkins is, “How much money can I make selling Watkins products?”  I will have to answer this question in general terms since your income is dependent on many factors, including whether you retail only, or your both retail and recruit new associates, how much time you dedicate to your business, etc.  But its safe to say that you can earn several hundred dollars per month retailing product only if you work your business regularly, and its possible to build a six-figure income business over 3 to 7 years if you concentrate on both retailing and recruiting, and devote 7 to 10 hours per week or more to your business each and every week. 

Still, there are no guarantees in how much income you make.  The safest answer is to say that this income opportunity is real and can be build into a significant high-income producing business if you treat it like a business and manage it accordingly.

There are many ways to build a Watkins home based business for Watkins is no longer the door-to-door company it once was, but has exploded into a large international network marketing company that manufactures over 350 products for home care, personal care, beauty, health and cleaning.  With 50,000 Watkins Associates and Watkins Consultants running their own independent Watkins home based businesses across North America, Watkins has grown to become larger than any time in its impeccable 140-year history.

I personally chose Watkins as my part-time home based business after evaluating the Watkins business opportunity against 25 other companies.  You can download a free ebook that describes my experience with Watkins and what led me to this excellent opportunity by clicking this download link.  My book, Work From Home Goldmine, is a comprehensive 232-page account of Watkins, Watkins ownership, Watkins products, the Watkins eStore for selling Watkins online, the Watkins home-based business opportunity and what it takes to operate a successful Watkins home business.  I’m certain that when you read my brutally honest account of starting and operating a Watkins home-based business you’ll come to see what a legitimate and honest business Watkins can be.

The Watkins home based business is intended to start as a part-time business and grow to a full-time income by dedicating a few hours of your time each week to running your Watkins business.  Many have gone before you and been able to build a 6-figure income with Watkins in 3 to 5 years by be patient and persistent, applying 7 to 10 hours per week to their Watkins business consistently. 

I’m having wonderful results with Watkins and quickly building a significant Watkins sales organization working at Watkins after hours from my home easy chair.  For, I use online marketing techniques to consistently garner new customers, making regular product sales and recruiting many new associates that become part of my downline Watkins sales organization.  I provide all new associates that sign up under me a free website to market Watkins online and teach them how to apply my same online marketing business model to build their own Watkins businesses.   If you want to know more about this great business opportunity and how you can join my Watkins sales organization, visit my home products business or downline my free ebook.
