Bad Changes Re Autoships But Good News for Network Marketting Home-Based Business
Changes are everywhere, part of the flux and flow of progress whether in the national economy, work place, culture, social media, or personal patterns of living.
The network marketing home-based industry is about 50 years old and is not immune to changes in society in general. Do you know what’s going on behind closed corporate doors? Smart networkers will be able to ride the tide of change to even more financial advantages if reality is faced forward.
First, some evolving but Bad Changes.
These are excerpts from an article written in the first quarter of 2011 by the Direct Sales Association...
"In the four years leading up to 2011, companies with autoship, consumable products, lost 37% of those autoships. If these top companies plan to be competitive in the next decade they are going to have to re-invent themselves...
...92.5 % of the people who come into this industry are part-timers, so automation is key."
Does this mean that more and more autoships may be cancelled because no company is immune to these losses? For those companies to compete in the next decade, re-inventing themselves may mean lowering the autoship pricing they offer.
If this happens, let's look at an example:
One of the leading companies in the industry has many millionaires, and these leaders make their residual income from percentages paid on the "autoships" they compiled after years of concerted effort, training, teaching, expense, blood, sweat and tears, etc.
Let's say this company has a $100 autoship, not uncommon in the industry. To try to create new growth and compete in this new environment, they lower their autoship to $50. In essence, those leaders just got a 50% pay cut. An intelligent network marketing company owner would not take that chance for fear they may lose their base.
So, in reality, can these top autoship, consumable product companies re-invent themselves?
The "New School" of network marketing says that the Autoship is DEAD!
Many proponents would say, "Autoships mean permanent income."
That statement may be true with one condition. People must STAY on the autoship, and according to the governing body of the industry, people are dumping them as quickly as they can, in every niche.
It is common knowledge in the industry that during a bad economy, the first thing they dump is an autoship.
OK, so this may be the changing reality. What can networkers do about it?
What is the Good News?
The next level of network marketing is to be part of a home-based opportunity that offers two main advantages:
1. Provide a low monthly membership based on a valuable software and one-time distribution license fee. A large consumable autoshipment is no longer the issue.
2. Provide a professional marketing team who will help to pre-qualify, interview, present, convert sales and hire new distributors on your behalf.
The follow-up process where fortunes are made is followed up by professional marketers who pre-qualify, interview, do presentations, handle objections and conversions, and hire and train new distributors on your behalf.
Do you really get what this change would mean to you especially as a part-time networker? All newly created distributors will be encouraged to participate as members of this preferred, accelerated program. The end result is a strong, motivated, successful downline that will continue to generate home-based residual income for years to come!
If you really get this…you should be dancing for joy and calling your accountant!
So what do you do in exchange for the above work, you will agree to advertise and market one lead generation ad daily:
Up to $1,627 Weekly Simply
Giving Away Complimentary
Software Seen On CNN, FOX News,
ABC and NBC Info. Via (24/7) Free
Rec. Msg: 1-877-513-8007 ext 5757
There is so much more news and excitement I wish to share. But first hear the message and request the report. Follow through the steps and discover for yourself how network marketing changes are a reality wake-up which can make a huge difference in your own own financial security and happiness.
Questions, comments, debates are always welcome. It is time to believe and dream again.

How Every Family Can Participate in the Internet Marketing Revolution with MyShoppingGenie
and some practical steps to get started
Welcome to the New Economy. This is the greatest wealth transfer in our economic history and you are getting paid to share it with people you care about.
Who do you know who wouldn't be interested in saving time and money? If they happen to be rich and famous, then at least they will know others who wish to be.
You Can't Beat FREE!
This special home business does two simple things:
1. Give My Shopping Genie's away
2. Build teams that give Genie's away
Let's answer these basic questions:
A. Why participate?
Here are a few facts from a short report from Reuters (Wed. April 13, 2011 6:29 PM EDT) validating that with your MyShoppingGenie business, you are at the right place at the right time!
U.S. Internet advertising revenue jumped 15 percent to $26 billion in 2010, setting a record high and proving that more companies are opening up their coffers to reach people online.
The new figures released on Wednesday by the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PwC also reported record online ad revenue increases in the fourth quarter of 2010, up 19 percent to $7.5 billion.
"We now have had five consecutive quarters of growth since the great recession impacted interactive advertising in 2009," Sherrill Mane, senior vice president, industry services at the IAB, said in a statement.
The report found that the most popular form of advertising was search, which represented 46 percent of revenue and increased 12 percent from 2009. Digital video advertising accounted for 5 percent of total ad dollars spent online in 2010, or $1.4 billion. The fastest growing form of advertising in 2010 was sponsorships, which soared 88 percent to $718 million.
"More time spent online, especially with increases in digital video and social media, has certainly helped to fuel the continued growth," said David Silverman, PwC assurance partner.
So how does MyShoppingGenie home business apply - at least 3 ways:
1. "The report found that the most popular form of advertising was search, which represented 46 percent of revenue and increased 12 percent from 2009." Remember - YOUR Genie rides on top of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.
2. "Digital video advertising accounted for 5 percent of total ad dollars spent online in 2010, or $1.4 billion." As we all know, digital video is the sweet spot for your new Genie Rocket!
3. "The fastest growing form of advertising in 2010 was sponsorships, which soared 88 percent to $718 million." Your MyShoppingGenie branding capability is the perfect sponsorship platform for businesses around the world! There is nothing in the advertising arena remotely close to the amazing value of the Genie branding feature for merchants, only $199 ($189 plus $10) license fee and only $34.95 per month subscription fee!
B. What do I say to get people interested in making their own careful assessment?
Here are three examples of scripts used by top marketers…simple enough to be very powerful because everybody can do them.
Script One:
Who do you know that would be interested in saving money online? OR that would be interested in making money online?"
Script Two:
In your opinion, what do you rate as the fastest growing industry in the world?
No matter what they say always give them the same answer - which is - NO… just think 20 times bigger! For example, if they say Insurance, Finance, Health & Nutrition, Travel, etc. Your answer is always the INTERNET!!
Script Three:
Use the "15-Second Phone Script" - Have you got a few seconds? I have something I want to run in front of you. Four Questions…
1) Who do you know that uses the Internet?
2) In this down economy with everyone hurting, people worried about their houses, their jobs and their futures - who do you know that wants to save time and money?
3) What are you doing for the next 7 minutes? Could you listen to something? Plug them into the 7 minute magic call. 512 404 1270 option 4
4) Ask, "What did you like about what you just heard?" Then do a 3-way call to close with third-party support.
C. What do I have to do? Here are some best coaching tips to a new distributor:
a)The more you invite prospects to a professional webinar (about the company, industry and the product), the less you need to say.
b) Share this with the Whole World! If you don't someone else will. Then they'll be calling you. Learn to use an autoresponder's messages and online marketing tools…practice makes perfect.
c) Do NOT try to "invent" anything. Follow the 3-Steps System to Success that has created millions for the Genie Leaders.
d) What you were going to do next week in your home business…Do TODAY!
Massive Action equals Massive Results.
Remember you can't follow a parked car. Personal consistency on a daily basis to expose your business and recognize that although we have an Internet business, this is a belly-to-belly, warm-market industry. As much of a temptation it may be to sit behind your computer screen and click them in, it only takes them a click to leave.
We can lead a horse to water but we can't make him drink. The steps to success are far simpler than the continual apathy of mediocre existence. Harnessing the power of coupons and riding on top of Google will give you position, content, commerce and community.
The last step is yours. If you've ever said: "I'm sick and tired of accepting things the way they are…but it seems so hard! How do I just tip the scale and get to that other side when I don't really know what to say or do? You have now some basic reasons and steps to move mountains… but you have to take the first step.
I look forward to speaking with you and learning more about your experiences and aspirations and how we can work together.

Home Business Story of the Unemployment Wolf, the Three Plans and Own Your Channel
It’s a fair statement that we live in uncharted times...a new world of tremendous changes that affects everyone of us at all levels from birth to old age, education, careers, family, home, health care, technology, retirement, cultures and even morality. Therein lies deep valleys of uncertainty and high peaks of possibilities. At the same time, we are enveloped by storms of information..so much information coming at us from all directions...what to read, watch, believe and decide?
Sometimes, through the storm, a simple story can best present basic ideas and lessons. There is no better story that has appealed to generations than the Wolf and The 3 Little Pigs. The underlying moral, of course, is that the best prepared individual, given choices, will better outlast any dramatic problems or changes with the potential to live happily ever after.
Let's imagine for this story that Unemployment can be represented as a bad wolf.
Now, a recent New York Times article has outlined how millions of unemployed people face years without jobs as the recession continues to mount, with millions nearing the end of their unemployment benefits.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35504954/ns/business-the_new_york_times/from/ET
Here are some statistics from the experts:
- approximately 6.3 million Americans have been unemployed for six months or longer, the largest number since the government began keeping track in 1948. 15 million are officially jobless.
- need 100,000 new jobs a month just to absorb entrants to the labor force.
- large companies are increasingly owned by institutional investors who crave swift profits, a feat often achieved by cutting payroll. Companies hire less or find capital equipment to replace workers.
- the declining influence of unions has made it easier for employers to shift work to part-time and temporary employees.
- factory work and even white-collar jobs have moved in recent years to low-cost countries in Asia.
- automation has helped manufacturing cut 5.6 million jobs since 2000 — the sort of jobs that once provided lower-skilled workers with middle-class paychecks.
- strapped households have less buying power which affects auto companies, home construction, foreclosed properties, retails sales and more.
Back to the story, and the simple premise that it is obvious that the threat of unemployment is like the big bad wolf’s threat to the security of the three little pigs.
In fact, let's take a creative look at these challenges with an analogy...that the big bad wolf is the unemployment attacker and the three little pigs act as the three plans that can best deal with the "huffing and puffing" of this uncertain economy.
Let’s begin this simple analogy...
A deep recession fell upon the land. More people fell out of work and savings petered out, and the menace of unemployment, like a hungry wolf, appeared in the neighbourhood. People accustomed to the comforts of middle-class life began to rely on public assistance for the first time in their lives..could it potentially be for years to come?
People began to look at three possible plans in case the unemployment wolf knocked on their doors.
PLAN #1...Hang on and hope the recession will pass. This somewhat passive thinking is like living in a twig house..no personal income, no protection at the mercy of harsh realities.
a.Try and adapt to live without a secure paycheck or unemployment check. It may mean doing without prescription medications, health insurance, certain amenities, healthier food choices, holidays, education and more.
b. Face the spectre of being homeless as a real possibility.
c. Start to believe you are the failure and blame yourself because of age, weight gain or any other "prominent insecurity".
PLAN #2... Be more proactive and look for suitable other employment.
a. Send out local flyers to clean houses or walk dogs. Check out local job listings. Send out dozens of resumes and not hear back. Respond to online ads with less than desirable offers. Take a state-financed program, many with low wages.
b. Check out more expensive investments in what are considered to be the best jobs (for over forty year olds) where you can make potentially make $100,000. Here are some examples..education administrator, strategic communication professional, community sevice co-ordinator, computer systems manager (need MBA with focus on technology) or even a small scale niche farmer (whatever that means).
c. Browse the internet filled with schemes and dreams to ransom a king's treasures. Network marketing home business opportunities abound but they are too often overly time consuming and expensive with over expectations of royalty-like leadership and followers…and, generally, they are NOT doable by the average citizen.
In my opinion these are like straw houses easily blown away with excuses and failures.
PLAN #3...Consider being a Home Business Owner with Own Your Channel.
a. Start building a main foundation as an independent team for $9 month...similar to a home business insurance that offers protection in numbers and time to learn more about entrepreneurship..the blueprint for success. There are no legitimate excuses.
b. Grow this home team cheaply, quickly, and soon it can become a serious contender to join big companies and make profits from the beginning. Even if a particular company stops producing, your team can join other opportunities.
c. Value the serious efforts to help others by setting up a Clearing House for people who cannot afford even minimal start-up costs for a home business. They can wait for sponsorship into a profitable program with perks. For example, they can get a $299 LGN (Little Guy Network) account for $24 (cost of OYC..enrollment fee plus $9 month)
In my opinion, this is the one and only home business build from solid bricks. The construction starts with master builders. You start by listening to a valuable video that outlines the program. Your "job" is to share this blueprint with others who are looking for more security.
Together you can watch the income calculator and understand the potential of a big home-based team with definite defensive skills as well as offensive strength.
The ending of this story and analogy will be written by different people in different ways.
I sincerely hope you will check out a compelling video as part of plan #3. Get your questions and comments answered. Start building your house of bricks. Join like- minded entrepreneurs standing by to help you.
If you still question the moral value of this simple story...then perhaps a poster from the late 1940’s will help to focus on why you should act today..
"There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
"One of these days is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed or erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.
"The other day we should not worry about is TOMORROW, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
"This leaves only one day, TODAY. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities - Yesterday and Tomorrow - that we break down.
"It is not the experience of Today that drives us mad, it is remorse and bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore… Live this one full TODAY."

Why starting Gold Medal Home Business is Easier Than Winning Olympic Gold Medal.
The road to Olympic stardom is long and expensive..
1.Assess physical condition and begin serious training
2.Join National Governing Body (NGB) to gain national ratings at various competitions
3.Get coach and start serious competition
4.Find financing to cover cost of living and training full time (family, private, athletic scholarships or corporate sponsorships
5.Attend national championships to qualify for Olympics ..a national ranking determined through previous competitions results
All this involves strenuous training for Olympians to perfect their skills and maintain their phenomenal level of physical shape. An aspiring athlete spends an average of eight hours a day, seven days a week training their body and mind—more time than a full-time job.
They devote their natural talent, dedication, and drive to their sport in hopes of being the best in the world.
At these 2010 Winter Olympic games, in matter of a few seconds (23.17) and spectacular back double full jump, an Olympian became the first Canadian athlete, a mogul skier, to win a Gold Medal for the first time in his native land after almost 35 years of competition. Alexander Bilodeau is now a Canadian icon.
Along with his training and excellence, he gave credit for his drive to his older brother Frederic who has cerebral palsy as a source of inspiration and drive.
When asked about how much the gold medal belonged to his brother, Bilodeau said, “A lot. Growing up with a handicapped person puts everything in perspective. He taught me so many things in life. My parents did, too.”
Do you have a magnificent purpose you wish your lifetime can fulfill?
The road to GOLD MEDAL HOME BUSINESS with OWN YOUR CHANNEL
1. Only assessment you need is the belief the economy is changing beyond your control and you deserve more financial security. You want a secondary income with more personal control to give more stability to your children and even grandchildren.
2. Join the social network of entrepreneurs called Own Your Channel. Read the questions and articles...get your questions answered. This is your training center because we trust your natural intelligence. There is no cost to join.
3. You don’t need a coach…a single powerful video will tell the whole story. You already have strong inner conviction you deserve more and your elf worth is more than some hourly wage. Share this message with like minded people you know.
4. You don’t need a lot of money to get started..in fact, wait until you can see how much you can make before joining any opportunity. Save yourself hundreds of dollars in time and material. Registration fee is $15 to set up and $9 month that helps cover back office management.
As a member of Own Your Channel you will be invited to join the Little Guys Network or LGN
(check the site for features and benefits) If you can manage the one-time $325 enrollment fee, you will start a 2x2 person matrix to earn $777. If you cannot manage the fee at the beginning, and this is understandable, you can get on track in the Clearing House.to receive a free $299 account and join the matrix through a Pay It Forward sponsor from OYC. We call this the Entrepreneurs Assembly Line
5. Imagine the exhilaration when you start making money and then doubling or tripling your profits with multiple other companies. Imagine yourself standing on the podium of financial security.
Of course, it is a great moment of glory and accomplishment to wear a large gold (or silver or bronze) medal around your neck.
But wouldn’t it also be great to sport a bank account with multiple thousands of dollars…so we can afford to pursue all our passions. We stress cooperation where maximum number of people can win rather than competition where only a few are rewarded.
As Bob and Doug McKenzie from SCTV might say, "Beauty, eh?"
By the way, most baby boomers wouldn’t look that great in tight polyester ski suits. The only “moguls” I want to overcome are any mental suppositions that block my home business success with Own Your Channel.

Home Business Satisfaction with Own Your Channel..Right Time, Right Order, Right Team
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough. Oprah Winfrey
Welcome to a new decade…never before in history has a business opportunity held the potential to have such a positive impact on the lives of its customers…Paul Zane Pilzer.
Are you missing out by self-denial choice or simple lack of information?
Here are three things to think about:
ONE: RIGHT TIME TO EVALUATE YOUR CURRENT JOB SATISFACTION
Americans' job satisfaction falls to record low - Yahoo! News
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100105/ap_on_bi_ge/us_unhappy_workers
Read the entire article or here is a quick summary..
Even Americans who are lucky enough to have work in this economy are becoming more unhappy with their jobs, according to a new survey that found only 45 percent of Americans are satisfied with their work for a variety of reasons:
- Fewer workers consider their jobs to be interesting…any effect on productivity
- Incomes have not kept up with inflation…household incomes have shrunk since 2000
- Soaring cost of health insurance has eaten into workers' take-home pay
- Less than half of workers feel secure in their jobs
- Slightly more than half say they are satisfied with their commute to work (even as commute times have grown longer), like their co-workers and/or are satisfied with their boss.
TWO: THE RIGHT PERSONAL ORDER..ROCKS BEFORE SAND
You've probably heard the old story...and it is never more important than to hear it one more time..
A teacher puts an empty jar on the table. Next to it, she has a pile of sand, a pile of pebbles, and a pile of rocks. Then she asks the students how to fit them all into the same jar. Many try, none succeed. Finally, the teacher reveals the simple logic.
First, you put in the big rocks.
Then the pebbles.
Then the sand.
The point is that you can fit in everything you want to do if you've got the sense to "invert your order."
The rocks represent the big things in life…like security, free time,health, family,
relationships, faith, self-satisfaction to be the best you can be…
The pebbles represent other main things that matter in your life such as work, school, car, home
The sand signifies the remaining “small stuff” and material possessions like TV, clothes, trips
Imagine now that this jar signifies your life. The rocks are the truly important things, such as family, health and relationships. If all else was lost and only the rocks remained, your life would still be meaningful. The pebbles are the other things that matter in your life, such as work or school. The sand is everything else, the small stuff, the material possessions. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same can be applied to your lives. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are truly important.
THREE: THE RIGHT HOME BUSINESS ORDER…TEAM FIRST
The point is you can make money in any network marketing company if you have a large enough team.
Instead of finding a company and then building a team, we first build our team and then find multiple companies that want access to OUR channel. In other words, we keep our team membership as our own independent valuable asset. This one team can now join more than one mlm company and earn money from multiple opportunities simultaneously. This business strategy magnifies your earning potential by using the work you performed once to create revenue streams in multiple companies. Power comes from numbers.
- Build this home-based team independently of any company affiliation.
- Make it cost effective..a mere $9 a month for back office and replicating website…start-up money no longer an objection.
- Provide a compelling video to explain the process with an unbeatable income calculator…know how much profit you will make before you join…no risk
- Understand it’s not about product details, testimonials, industry knowledge, masterminds, branding, internet expertise, marketing expenses…it’s about knowing 3 motivated people who want the same thing as you do.
It’s about getting your priorities right and working with like-minded people who care. It’s about believing you are at the right time, the right place and deserve better.
It's about making this decade the best you can be for yourself and your family.
Your questions and comments are always important. Be sure to check out a special Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits ...generic, comprehensive overview of what works in this special network marketing home business.

How Own Your Channel (OYC) Answers the 3 Big Questions for Network Marketing Home Business Success
There is a revolution happening in the home business network marketing industry..and the timing couldn’t be better. Our national economy is changing..credit is crunching, jobs are bleeding, wealth is disappearing, and financial security is like a volley ball...depending on who is spiking it. It only makes sense when nothing else seems to, to build a personal economy based on free enterprise principles and basic human values.
The Network Marketing business model has been a foundation for many home based business entrepreneurs.
Its founding principle allows the average person with above average dreams and low-start-up capital to build long-term residual profits that can equal professional incomes from the comfort of their homes.
No wonder so many people have hopes and try..and so many don’t make it...for a variety of reasons. It is time stop doing what doesn’t duplicate or work. It is timely to bring this industry back to public acceptance and respect based on satisfactory performance.
And often, when the student is wanting, the teacher appears.
So, with perfect timing, a new company called Own Your Channel is becoming a major player in helping networkers achieve the kind of success they are looking for and deserve.
Here are THREE important answers that can make all the difference in your network marketing success.
1. Why should I become member of OYC..two huge benefits
- you own your sales distribution channel outside of any company. Your valuable asset is the people you contact...they don't belong to any company
- your team can now join multiple companies. You can be in two, three, even four companies collectively and earn money from your single team in multiple opportunities simultaneously. This business strategy magnifies your earning potential by using the work you performed once to create revenue streams in multiple companies.
2. How does it work..SIMPLICITY
- keep it simple..no more requirement other than to get 3 personally sponsored people
- keep it cheap.. $25.00 to join the co-op and a monthly fee of $9.00 to cover the cost of webserver hosting services
- keep it smart.. leverage your single home business team..not overload of details…payplans, products, testimonials, etc
- keep it profitable…because you are bringing in a readymade team..you will earn money from day one as well as cover the sign up fees and the monthly autoship. As your group grows, you will become more and more profitable.
3. WHAT IF, I MISS OUT..by assuming or only knowing this much...
Well, bring out your old weather worn tools, maps and hard hats because the competition blows fiercely, especially with internet function.
Probably, you will work the “hard” way building your downline membership. You will take massive amounts of time and money to build your framework with contacts who may or may not follow your construction plan. You will be at the mercy and “stormy” wiles of company’s policies and if something happens..you may be left without a ship to sail. What a pity if you had to start again from scratch.
The power of Own Your Channel comes from numbers. We can move together as one group, and, even, dictate terms when it comes to negotiating with new companies we add. This will allow us to override policies and procedures that may present conflicts with our business plan.
I can only imagine what Ferdinand Magellan, as the first European, thought as he viewed the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Probably, with the same breath, I view this extraordinary home business opportunity. Every family now has access to a profitable home business in network marketing based on the time proven concepts of leverage and duplication..
Be one of the first to catch this last free enterprise system. Watch the video whatever else you do today.
Your questions and comments are always important. We are standing by to help you.

Why You Should build a Home Business without the Wolf with Prevention in Mind and the Cure-in-one-Call
This week, 3 very different messages crossed my desk and yet they are all uniquely connected to home business opportunities…past, present and future. Here are brief summaries and their connection to home business in network maketing in today’s uncertain economy.
MESSAGE #1
I’ll huff..I’ll puff..I’ll blow your house down..big bad wolf
In the fairy tale, the first two pigs learned their lesson and soon built their own houses of brick, and they all lived happily ever after. But as you know, the Three Little Pigs is just a fairy tale. In real life, people ask the government to rescue them with taxpayer money, and then they rebuild their straw and stick houses all over again. The fairy tale continues, lessons are not learned—and the wolf lurks in the darkness.
All over the world, people are asking, “What are our leaders going to do?” I believe a more important question is, “What are you and I going to do?” More specifically, “How can you and I build our own house of bricks…Robert Kiyosaki’s new book…
CONNECT: You got to build a profitable home business because the future is uncertain with too many bad wolves prowling around challenging age-old traditions and securities.
MESSAGE #2
In the late 1980’s an important infomercial was advertised to try and make America a better place for kids. It was beautifully produced video about helping parents talk to their teenagers about drugs. The script was written by Dan Kennedy, and a team of professional copywriters and even hosted by Nancy Reagan.
Guess how many people were convinced to get a video in order to talk to their kids about drugs based on orders received…Zero
Why?
Because it was about preventing the problem...not actually curing it. Who would want to think that their kids might need this program? "My kids would never take drugs...I'll never have to worry about this problem."
CONNECT: Why wait until more emergency difficulties or more major pain backs you into a corner to look for alternative home business income? Do preventative education now and learn all you can about setting up a profitable home business opportunity.
MESSAGE # 3
The power of a message struck me like never before. We know there are mountains of home business opportunities out there...each one promising the easy path to the gold mine...financial freedom.
And so it happened that I heard a presentation of one program that had all the elements of a great home business…In fact, it had been voted best home business concept for the 21 century by Lifetime Networks based on a recent survey.
Personally, if I had to design a dream home business, I couldn’t think of anything better than these benefits:
- part of the booming Wellness Industry based on natural preventative products (versus waiting until you get sick and then trying to find help in the health system…
- based on nutrient rich whole food super fruits and sea vegetable supplement
- low cost to qualify for commissions $40 for valuable product everybody needs
- no cost website with all the information plus back office for customer updates /support
- national co-op marketing campaign making the product a household word
- endorsement by Beauty Spaces (inner nutrition for anti-aging) and Kids Spaces (best supplement for children)
- five income streams, including retail sales
Most of us realize that a successful, time-efficient, profit generating home business is a good thing..a few extra hundred dollars a month would absolve most bankruptrices (report). It is a smart preventative measure even if you have a good job now and trust your status quo will stretch into long golden years as planned.
But what if it doesn’t turn out the way you planned?
Will you continue to put your financial security into someone else’s hands?
Isn't it better to set up some preventative steps now by taking a closer educational look at what works in the network marketing industry?
Don’t wait until you’re facing financial mayhem. Some people tell me they can’t even put together $40 a month to start a home business and qualify for commissions. It's hard to sell the virtue and goodness of a home business until you experience it for yourself.
Don’t wait for the waters to part before you and a bridge to appear to better understand the prosperity available for you.
Don’t wait until some big bad wolf breathes down your chimney while your house is still standing.

How the Home Business Viral Marketing Formula Blasts the Secret Weapon
It’s late Friday morning…drizzling outside, just baking a blueberry and black cherry buckle…and time to have some serious fun.
If you have followed my blogs, you understand my passion for the network marketing home business done RIGHT at the grassroots level. I am from humble farm roots and I particularly enjoy talking with others who may consider themselves from humble roots but with the grandeur of being of an oak tree.
I particularly espouse equality of opportunity regarding the democratic right to earn extra money in a tough economy. The one and only way to standardize a home business opportunity is with the network marketing business model.
The founding principle is that average people with above average dreams can start a home business with low capital and enjoy high profit potential by making a difference. The 3 basic operatives for success are leverage, marketing plan and duplication.
So, I particularly feel mental pain, in various degrees, when I read certain terms or associations with this unique industry such as “high-priced, private, secret training” marketing strategies. There is absolutely nothing high priced, private or secret about a fair, democratic,profitable network marketing home business.
So, just as a creative thinking exercise, I’m setting up a dialogue between two different network marketers:
Person A who believes in a viral marketing approach and democratic potential…will call him Victor or Victoria
Person B who believes in branding himself as an attraction marketing expert and let’s call him Martin or Martina. He (or she) is showing a "secret weapon."
Please remember as you read this... that the really,really interesting fact is that Martin(a)’s actual words are drawn from a sales copy promoting an attraction marketing program..
Martin(a)..You need to act fast ..this is right for you..you’re lucky to get in
Victor(ia)..I don’t like selling..let me educate myself and when I’m ready (if) I’ll call you back
Martin(a): You need to sharpen your skills and develop yourself
Victor(ia): I can talk and communicate very clearly…life channels continue to develop me..don’t imply I’m less worthy
Martin(a): We have MP3 recordings, Powerpoint Slide Presentation, PDF transcripts
...over 40 hours of valuable training
Victor(ia): I only need a professional slide presentation with images that communicate a thousand words…easy to read and share in less than an hour
Martin(a): We’ll show you how to cause a stampede to your website
Victor(ia): I’m not interested in driving or managing herds..just ordinary, honest people looking for something better
Martin(a) We spend $100,000 a month on our advertising campaign
Victor(ia) Not interested..by the way..it's a turn-off when you promote how great you are
Martin(a): You can build your first Google Adwords in 4 Easy Steps and a CD
Victor(ia): Not interested
Martin(a): We will simplify your Pay Per Click Adwords by making sure your keywords, text ads, and landing pages are closely related to search engines
Victor(ia): For your information, I’m already quite web savvy..but even after a year of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)strategies from top Internet Marketing specialists…I still struggle with indexing, ranking, back links, minimizing costs because “internet spiders” take a long time in evaluating any website and its worth in the internet community.
Don’t make it sound too casual...absolutely not interested.
Martin(a): Well, the BAD NEWS is we have to limit this program to the first 1000 people and the last program vanished in 2 minutes…
Victor(ia): Amazing Reskin would be proud
Martin(a): You may have trouble getting your hands on it because it is at an incredible discount because the full mentoring program is just under $3000
Victor(ia): My hands are full now..not my bank account..no thanks
Martin(a): Well, I have a little confession actually. I got the original _______system a year ago but just didn’t know how to really put it into practice..and I’m hoping this new program will accomplish exactly what I envision for my home business success.
Victor(ia): Let me give you some real helpful, hopeful advice. The basic fundamental principle in a network marketing home business is to make sure your prospects and new business partners can achieve equal or more success than you can. The hope is to accomplish this by fully integrating a simple viral marketing formula that works for all people…not just for those who can afford 100,000 monthly advertising fee.
PROFITS =leveraged message + democratic plan x duplication
P = LM + DP x D
The theory is that the more material you produce, the longer the process, the more objections, the less duplication, the less profits..read previous blogs for more details
1. LEVERAGED MESSAGE…professional information tools delivered in one hour
2. DEMOCRATIC PLAN...Read and Share..I CAN DO THIS..YOU CAN DO THIS
3. DUPLICATION…key to success in this simple marketing system is a short, comprehensive curriculum guide to how this industry works. It is simple-to-follow, low-cost, generic, standardizes content to handle questions and objections, and time efficient and practical for everyone to use.
Martin(a): Well, I would genuinely get a kick out of helping you.
Victor(ia): I don’t believe I’m the one getting kicked today.
Your comments, questions and dialogues are always welcome…and especially any other ways we can return to the grassroots principles of this great home based industry and stop the “secret weapon...high priced...attraction marketing promoters.

Five Ways a People-Friendly Marketing Plan can explode your home business profits
There is only one home business concept that works based on the principles of leverage and residual profits…namely, the network marketing home business. It is popular with 95% of home business owners who take a look at all the benefits of plugging into a huge, successful company. Your job, and basis of recurring income through multiple levels, is to help market their product(s).
And, here is the 1000 pound gorilla in the room. Most of us are not professional marketers or salespeople and yet we are expected to produce like silver-starred leaders in order to make commissions. People who are business professionals feed us complex marketing plans that are easy for them to implement. But for non-marketers, it’s an almost indigestable burden…too many bits and pieces, links and connections.
And yet, the network marketing home business is also based on the founding principles that it is the only home business where average people with above average dreams can start a profitable venture from home.
So how do we match the powerful marketing gorilla with the regular champ who understands how leverage, residual and duplication work in this unique home industry and believe in equality of opportunity. We, too, deserve a piece of the multi-billion dollar information economy.
You must “employ” a PEOPLE FRIENDLY MARKETING SYSTEM for continuous profits...
KEEP IT TRULY SIMPLE (KITS)
It doesn’t matter if YOU have no idea where to begin, what to share, or how to sell. You may already have a full time job and don’t want to spend time learning something new. Maybe, you have just basic computer skills to send an email and share a website.
KEEP IT TRULY SIMPLE (KITS) HOME BUSINESS MARKETING PLAN to USE
- levels the playing field so every person who wants a home business in tough economic times can get a fair education and a running start ...fast to learn and apply…advance from beginner to mastery levels with standardized training and marketing plans that everyone can copy...as this system duplicates so will your profits
- low capital to start (as low as $40 monthly product purchase qualifies you for commissions)..fits into any budget. No inventory to load up. Want a unique, no competititon product. Potential to earn 5 or 6 digit or more annual income paid weekly and monthly, matching bonuses
- transform few hours a week into excellent cash flow. You don’t want to work twice as hard…you want to use basic leverage with information tools to expand your time and knowledge beyond 40 hours a week without actually being there...
- reduce natural learning curve to basic three steps you can start right now... who wants to spend months learning a lot of moving business parts. Everyone learns at their own rate and its not up to you to teach the system. The ONE and ONLY Missing Factor is Fully Integrated.
- deserve substantial tax savings. Note many people pay for their home business costs from tax savings alone..one accountant actually said you need to be brain dead not to have a home business. Why aren’t you collecting your share of tax refunds?
TWO BIG MISTAKES TO AVOID ..LIKE THE FLU
1. AVOID volumes of material...they can be very expensive, monetized by gurus, utterly time-consuming that no one will gladly say "I CAN DO THIS!"
- too complicated to explain training and marketing materials
- too much time to learn
- too many objections rising from information overload
- too difficult for beginners to meet expectations
2. AVOID starting a home business without a simple marketing plan and outline of what you need to do to make profits. Make sure these questions are fully answered to your satisfaction:
- Who will help me?
- What do I have to do?
- What do I have to invest?
- What can I make?
Run away from any home business that does not have a clear marketing plan (preferably on one page) in plain view with which you are comfortable. The most common reason that most home businesses fail (and others) is a lack of marketing.
Run towards a home business with a well-defined 3 STEPS MARKETING PLAN that everybody can do if you want massive, democratic duplication and multiplying profits. Be sure you see the whole GAME PLAN and how you can win!
To check out a truly revolutionary home business marketing plan whose time has come...let me know what you are looking for and how we can help...

USA Today Article on Recession-Proof Home Business via Direct Selling, MLM, Network Marketing
Recently I read an article from USA Today with the heading: Direct Sales Offer Recession Proof Jobs and want to share my thoughts.
Direct-sales businesses that rely on home-based business owners to help market their products are seeing a rapid expansion of networkers because of the country’s unemployment rate, lost jobs and lost nest eggs. People are simply looking for new ways to make money from home during economic hard times for supplemental income or replacement of a lost job. Women are especially looking for financial solutions. Jobs are no longer being taken for granted. What other options or "safety valves" can help to keep you afloat in a faltering economy?
In the article, the Direct Selling Association (DSA) which oversees these companies, states these statistics:
...There are roughly 15 million direct sellers in the U.S. They can also be referred to as network marketers or independent contractors who help market products or services primarily through a home business such as demonstrations in someone's home and one-on-one interactions. In 2007, the most recent year available, the sales industry generated $30.8 billion in U.S. sales.
...10% of representatives work "full time," or at least 30 hours a week. The majority work part-time or only long enough to meet short-term goals, such as holiday presents.
...Compensation systems vary, but representatives primarily earn money from commissions on product sales or by purchasing the products wholesale and selling them at retail prices. Commissions on sales typically are 25% to 50% of retail. While representatives may also earn a small commission on the sales from representatives they've recruited, legitimate businesses do not use recruitment alone as a basis for compensation
You can read the entire article for actual names of people and companies or read this brief summary. Most of the references are about cosmetic companies; in fact, one recently had a 108% spike in its sales representatives.
Three heart-felt opinions are offered:
- What if we switch from lipstick and earrings to nutrition with whole food supplements
- What if we switch from the idea of salesmanship and recruitment to education about three main business concepts: leverage, residual income and duplication
- What if we every person has the potential and democratic right to be an entrepreneur and just need a democratic marketing system
Several different examples were cited of successful home business owners:
…truck driver laid off by construction company worked alongside his wife in a direct-sales compaby with nutritional supplements. Nearly two years later and with no construction job in sight, a one-time sideline is now earning a six-figure income
.. an assistant office manager saw her hours cut last year and needed a way to make up her lost income while maintaining her office job and busy household.Now her home business is thriving even though there is a recession
…young pregnant mother lost her job as a corporate recruiter and couldn’t find a new job.. now focuses on building home business that looks “pretty promising”
…retirees join the trend …66 year old wife saw the couple’s savings reduced by half in the wake of the stock market fall. Now enjoys hosting parties to earn income until market recovers and savings stabilize
… 26 year old recent graduate in public health has struggled to find a job in her field. She worked for her sister as a nanny before getting a full-time position as an account manager. But she has also decided to start selling cosmetics on the side, partly to earn extra cash for her upcoming wedding. She now intends to forgo a public health career and eventually sell the makeup line full time.
My last opinion, as stated priveously, is we live in exciting times, changes and opportunities if we choose to focus on the potential. You cannot control what happens to you. You can control your attitude. You can master change rather than allow change to master you.
Your comments, questions, opinions are always appreciated.

I wish Susan Boyle was my Home Business Partner
She has an incredible gift of song that has taken nearly 50 years to discover but what if she had not taken that one step onto the stage?
Her story is not just about a dream that refused to be beaten down by life...but also about each of us...and what we are willing to do or not do.
She has shown us that you don't have to be good-looking, educated and talented to be successful.
We all face our public detractors or critics.
We all have our personal private critics..not right age, not right shape, gender, ethnic groups, family background, training..
We all have the potential to abandon our dreams and join the masses of cynical losers or scoffers who blame the system, the economy or other people for their failures...without taking that first step
We all know that doing the right thing always demands more courage than following a crowd.
We know that we have innate potential to help, self-develop and prosper beyond audience participation and "survival modes."
To help you get started to prepare for your Life's stage entrance..here are some common ideas well expressed by Chris Widener, successfull network marketer.
When you get to the last step of mastering skills, remember that in the Information Economy there are many ways to leverage your time and knowledge and duplicate your profits in a home business.
There are simple curriculum guides to educate and empower you and excellent companies and products to share that everybody desperately needs.
There are no more excuses, if you really want the chance and change.
Thank you, Susan.

PS. What is the one thing that stands between you and sucess...tell me what you plan to do to beat it. Let us work together to help.
Words to Dreamed a Dream
I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high, And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid When dreams were made and used, And wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, No wine untasted.
But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hopes apart As they turn your dreams to shame.
And still I dream he'll come to me And we will live our lives together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms We cannot weather...
I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seems Now life has killed The dream I dreamed.
Take Yourself to the Top!
by Chris Widener
Everybody wants to get to the top, whether it is the top of a career, a company, the earnings scale, or the many other ways that we as individuals can define the "top' in our own lives! But with so many people trying to get to the top, how come so many people aren't moving up? I think there are some fundamental reasons why.Reasons that can be addressed and changed!
What are some things you can do to get to the top? Here are somethoughts for you this week!
First of all, define what the "top' means for you.
This is extremely important because if you don't know where you are going,you will never get there! Some people don't want to be the CEO of the company. In fact, many think they are better off than the CEO even though they don't make as much money. Instead, they think they are at the top because of less stress, weekends with their families, etc., and I see their point. It doesn't matter what others think is the top, only what you do, since you are only gauging whether or not YOU get there! So where is it for you? That is the first question for you to answer.
* Be passionate about your goal.
Passion is the energy that drives us, or, as Alexander Pope said,passions are the "gales of life.' Passion is the wind in the sail of work. Find something you love and you will find something you can get to the top of. If you don't love it, you may still make it to the top, though highly unlikely. And even if you do, there will be no joy. Let your passion carry you, because it will carry you far! Thomas Fuller put it this way: A man with passion rides a horse that runs away with him.
* The will to continue in the face of hardship.
Another reason most will not get to the top is because they simply refuse to scale the mountains of hardship that separate them from the top. If you want to get to the beautiful view from the top, you will have to climb over any obstacles. Instead, many choose to stayat base camp! One would think that Bjorn Borg, one of the greatest tennis players to ever live, would consider his skill his greatest asset. Instead, this is what he says, "My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories." Continue until you get to the top!
* Love people and treat them right.
What? Love people? That's right! Why? Because if you are going toget to the top you are going to need other people. Be a jerk andyou will find people dragging their feet on you. Treat them right and you will find them helping you and even cheering you on!
* Master the appropriate skills.
Average skills will get you to the middle. Top skills will get you to the TOP! This is most assuredly true when combined with the points above. Are you achieving excellence in the skills you need?Are you growing day by day, month by month, year by year? You can always get better and getting better will take you closer to thetop! Even if you only improve a little, you can keep improving that small amount and it will eventually become a big amount! Demand the best from yourself and you will get to the top. Remember the words of Jose Ortega y Gasset: "We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands on himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself."
These will take you to the top!

Home Business Debate: Communication Skills vs Duplication Roadmap
People's need for a successful, profitable home business has never been greater.
We know that any success is based on skillset, mindset, knowledge, plans and focus.
And the one skill that is touted as being essential is effective communication skills.
This effort is challenging, perennial, and filled with obstructions and excuses about presenting and converting potential customers. And, just, maybe not everyone feels comfortable doing this. But it also means that we, as average communicators, shouldn’t be discounted but should have access to alternative strategies that also work.
So, is there an alternative to home business with an unique model based on the key concepts of leverage and duplication?
It’s not who or what you know relative to your communication skills…
It’s more about a simple marketing plan that everyone who wants extra security can repeatedly do again and again for massive duplication.
It’s not the skilfull or unskilfull person...it’s a piece of paper with a simple plan that duplicates. Without it, your dreams of a massive organization and passive residual profits will never be reached. With it, everything gets easy and your income stream keeps flowing.
So how do we develop the art and science of Effective Communication
- is difficult for many dating even from poor teaching experiences in school
- requires consistent effort and practice
- is demanding to train others to also be effective communicators
- includes writing well and public speaking components
- involves psychology, emotional triggers, persuasion tactics
- focuses on selling benefits, resistance, follow-ups
A top sales manager for a certain Brand of vacuum cleaners once said…you’re not finished “prospecting” a neighborhood until you have knocked on each door at least 4 times and communicated the need to “remove dirt in each house at least 7 times…"
How many people do you know who are willing to do this just because a top professional makes $1000’s weekly and they are led to believe they can be super communicators, too.
Of course, over time, skills of communication and leadership are naturally honed and developed. But how do you start? Besides, in the modern Information Age isn't there someting more time effective and equally efficient?
There is only one home business model that opens the door to every person to succeed with a simple marketing plan focused on helping others also achieve success...not just buy products or remove problems.The foundation of network marketing is based on average people with above-average dreams with minimal capital (and I would add basic communication skills) who want to start a successful home business.
The principle strategies are:
- residual..work once, get paid multiple times
- leverage…use information tools to tell the story for you 24/7
- duplication..simple business plan that everyone can do (democratic may not need to be based on communication skills)
The easiest way is to focus and share a one-page marketing plan or roadmap with no loss of critical components:
- EDUCATE …here is a total big picture of where I'm going and the facts I need to know about network marketing industry
- EMPOWER …here are some simple strategies to build personal belief-system and motivation.. “I can do this”
- CHANGE … here is how I can plug into a successful company and product that everybody needs
In the end, ability turns out to be what you are capable of doing and motivation determines what you do. Make it complicated like being an effective communicator..and you may see some "attrition;" make it more basic and you may see retention and residuals!
Always ready to help with questions or comments,
