SendOutCards - Is This Your Golden Opportunity?

Many folks want to send cards as soon as they remember to colleagues, family, and friends. SendOutCards gives them that chance. I was hooked right away, because this is the kind of company that will always have customers. There's just a vast array of personal and national and religious holidays that require a card to be sent, so I knew that it was a great idea to build a company around the idea.However, just because so many people everywhere do send cards, there was still some wariness about whether this was a real chance for wealth. Could distributors connected with SendOutCards really make big profits compared with all the time, money, and energy they'd put in? Is it possible to work from home and make a nice income, and would this company really pay when push came to shove?The internet site for SendOutCards lists five methods for making a profit with this company. We can review and see if they're really attainable to most distributors or if they're just a pie-in-the-sky ideal that no one can reach. The number one method is called "Retail Profits From Preferred Customers." You can get these paid to you every month, given several different price points.One of these is called an "Annual Account", and those just starting out will probably want to buy one of these. They'll get an Annual Account Card and this can be used to buy points right from their distributor. The distributor really should encourage potential customers to buy this Annual Account. The payout is $25 and you earn 50 cents or so for every point you buy.Just to summarize the point system: for a greeting card you'd get two points, and for a postcard or upload of an image you'd get one point. When you're deciding to come on board, you'll notice that these aren't big chunks of change; but once you're in the system and have the right people with you, the end of the month can yield some nice profits.The second point is that distributors can earn extra awards for coaching new members. These can be collected every week. Customers can choose from varied available packages, and the distributor will decide which commissions come with each. For $298 the "Wholesale Package Plus!" has a lot to offer, such as a distributor coaching session. Besides that, you can pay wholesale for the product. The distributor him or herself makes $120 from selling this package to a new member.There's also an "Entrepreneur Plus Package!" for $398. The distributor earns $120 for selling this one, too, but also gets $15 - $50 for the coaching sessions they give. This really yields nice money for those who've recruited lots of good folks. Those on the downline who receive the package and the coaching also get additional benefits.It's necessary to realize when you're considering the SendOutCards opportunity that as a distributor you'll want to develop a big group of customers so you can sell in volume. Every card doesn't yield a lot of profit, but with a domino effect the number of sales can certainly give you big financial results by the end of the month.

How to Succeed in Network Marketing When Failure Just Won't Do

For those who start an MLM business, the question they need to answer is, OK, now how exactly do I succeed in network marketing?Starting a work from home business is a thrilling time for anyone. However, eventually reality sets in and you come to the realization that it's not as easy to succeed in your work from home business as you'd originally thought. Network marketing success always demands a fair amount of effort.So, how is it done? How do you succeed at network marketing? Is it just luck or is there something more to it?The harsh reality is that the overwhelming majority of those who start an MLM business will fail. Are you struggling in a network marketing business of your own? Are you fearful that you might just turn out to be another MLM statistic? If yes then congrats, you're in the right place. What you're about to discover will definitely help you to succeed in your home based business.Firstly, understand that there aren't any secrets when it comes to how to succeed in network marketing. Building a successful business will require specific skills. You can develop the skills required to give you an advantage over average network marketers.Remember this very important point; if you're doing the same things everyone else is doing and nothing more, then don't expect to get anything more than what everyone else is getting. It's a sure bet that all those who fail in network marketing are all doing the same thing.Are you guilty of that? It ends today. Today is the day where you begin to do things differently. Today is the day when you begin to do things right and really learn how to succeed in network marketing.Network marketing success will need you to focus on doing the following 5 things which the average home business owner is not willing to do.1) Prepare to work harder - the name of this industry is net-WORK marketing not net-DO NOTHING marketing. You will get out of your business exactly what you're willing to put into it. Half hearted efforts will always deliver half hearted results whereas strong efforts will bring about strong results.2) Be passionate about self improvement - your business will not grow if you do not first grow as a person. You want more from your business then demand more from yourself and constantly seek new personal development skills.3) Develop better business building skills - successful MLM demands that you learn real skills to grow your business. You need to learn how to generate leads, manage your time wisely, communication with others and effective marketing. These are all learned skills and you can develop them so long as you're committed to doing so.4) Be open to investing both your time and money - developing the required personal development and business building skills require an investment of both time and money. If you're reluctant to invest in yourself and your business then how could you expect to succeed in network marketing?5) Do not quit - by far this is the most important of these 5 points. Network marketing success will never be handed over to you, it is something that must be earned. Truthfully, nobody ever fails in network marketing but 95% of those who get started quit when things get tough. You have to remain focused and the thought of giving up can never be an option.In summary, how to succeed in MLM is yours if you want it. As long as you commit wholeheartedly to the 5 steps above then you will one day find yourself in the 5% group of successful network marketers.Is it easy? Nope. But you can be sure that your efforts will always be well worth it.

Can a Bear Cub Mentor You in MLM?

Someone asked me a great question last week. When she found out that I had only about 2 years of experience in MLM, she wanted to know "why are you qualified to mentor me?" An image immediately popped into my head. Rather than try to describe it, go to YouTube and search for "The Bear" by Jean Jacques Annaud. When you watch this you'll get the idea. I might be a cub in MLM but I have a great team backing me up. What makes a great mentoring team?Two things:Experience in the industry
A mix of all 4 personality typesThe old saying "there is no substitute for experience" is really true. You don't want to take advice from someone unless they have already achieved what you want! A few weeks ago, I was attending a chamber mixer and some guy who has never even been in MLM started trying to give me advice (without knowing my experience level either!) His advice was totally opposite to what my mentors teach. He was also trying to sell me a $300 advertisement space in a magazine, which is not really appropriate for my business.I choose to be mentored by people who have 20-30 years of success in MLM and are working from home full-time. They truly have what I desire - complete time and financial freedom.Once you understand the personality types, you want to work with all types on your team because they each have different strengths. When I want to do a 3-way call to introduce someone I am mentoring to a more experienced coach, I determine the coach I want by the personality type of the person being mentored as well as the topic we need to discuss. Making the best match ensures good communication and a good outcome.When it comes to mentoring for myself, I would never want to be exclusively mentored by just one person. Since I am a green, another green might not be the best person to spot my self development needs. We usually need someone with a different perspective to help us grow. But when it comes to crunching numbers, like understanding a compensation plan, greens excel. And another green would understand why certain marketing methods are uncomfortable for me and could suggest solutions. But, when I am trying to learn a new technical skill I will not always work with a green. They may know very well how to do what I need, but they tend to be impatient.I am sure at some time you have talked to someone you knew had the knowledge to help you, but the two of you just didn't "click." That is why it is so important to have a whole group of people you can call on. Someone always has the answer!

Everyone Should Be Talking About This!

As I sit here and type out this article the United States is in the middle of the worst economic situation of my lifetime. And it is absolutely shocking to me that nobody is talking about home based businesses as a great alternative to having a job.No I am absolutely not saying that if you have a great job you should run out and quit it. Times are too tough for that especially if you have a family to support. However, if you're out of work or you're still working but all the bills aren't getting paid working from home is a great way to make money fast and keep you personally out of financial ruin.I see people do all kinds of things trying to stay afloat in this economy. Women with degrees who are out there cleaning homes part time to make some extra cash. There are people who are selling their belongings on Craigslist and eBay because they have to pay their bills and they don't know any other way. That is why it baffles me that more people aren't talking about working from home part time to make more money and make it now!I don't know if this is some kind of secret but I'm about to let the cat out of the bag big time! Because in my experience working from home is the best, cheapest and most effective way to raise your household income in a very short period of time!In a time when so many people are lowering their quality of living how about raising yours!Now just like all good things home based businesses take hard work and you defiantly won't get rich without doing anything to earn the money. The get rich quick scheme simply doesn't exist (or at least it's not legal). But if you're willing to work for your success you could dramatically change your family's life and yours in just a month or two with a home based business. And in the long run you can build a business that can allow you to work from home full time and make more money than you're making at your job whatever that is.So why is nobody talking about this!? I don't know but don't say nobody ever told you!You CAN stay afloat in these though times. You CAN make more money this year and you can do it with a home based business.

Review of Poker Training Network

Poker, huh. Interesting, but I don't play poker. That was my first reaction when I heard about Poker Training Network. I thought it was one of those kid's online gaming stuff, which I don't play any of. I'm a serious business person! Well, online gaming is not this company's business, although it looks like they'll be playing off that market, and it is a seriously huge one.What Is Poker Training Network?Poker Training Network provides training for poker players of all levels, from beginners to pros. Their products are web based programs, which means no shipping, and instant delivery. The training interface and the play simulator are both very slick, user friendly, and loaded with features. Affiliate's back office contains tons of learning material for both business and personal development. Marketing material includes video prospector - a trackable tool that sends out promotional videos to prospects. Over all, well designed and pretty impressive package.Here's a few immediate advantages that I see:Unique NicheFirst, poker is unique, fresh, and different from anything else in network marketing right now. That alone will attract a lot of attention. With every product and service seemingly in the industry these days, chances are people have not heard of this one. If you get involved now, you'll be able to promote something entirely new.Facebook ApplicationPoker Training Network is launching a Facebook application in mid April of 2010. Zynga, a similar program, has over 28 million users currently. The affiliates can then invite people to the application to play poker, and if they decide to join the business, the referring affiliate will be credited. What it means is that you can introduce people to the business in a fun, non-pressure environment. Facebook is the second biggest site after Google, so it has a potential to grow virally.Poker NightPoker is a social activity. If you know someone who plays, they would most definitely know others who do. Because of its casual and fun nature, it will be much easier to talk about than your regular MLM products. How many times have you tried to bring your friends to your opportunity meeting and they said no? At Poker Training Network, you can invite people to their poker nights. They are all about fun. I've written an article on Warm Market previously and I stand by my opinion, but I do see more potential in this strategy with PTN.What else is there? Quite a few actually, but in this brief article I'll stick to the highlights.With over 300 million poker players worldwide, poker is the 3rd most watched sport in the U.S., and is a growing industry. The company is backed up by solid management and funding. It is in pre-launch, and with the Facebook application coming out, it could be growing very rapidly. Timing is very important with any opportunity, and Poker Training Network is worth a look, right now. Combined with powerful marketing strategy and system, the potential is undeniable.To learn more about this opportunity and top MLM earner's secrets, continue reading below.

What Is Isagenix All About?

ISAGENIX is a direct sales network marketing company that specializes in nutritional supplements. They use home-based sales representatives to sell their products. As a sales representative of ISAGENIX you will be an independent contractor earning commissions based on your sales. The company manufactures and markets products that are designed to address such health related issues as obesity, stress, environmental toxicity and more. The companies product lines consist of nutritional cleansers, supplements, skin and hair care.The nutritional cleansing line provides vitamins, minerals and herbs that accelerate the removal of toxins and impurities from your body. These nutritional cleansing products include shakes, soups and health bars that are designed to burn fat and maximize nutritional intake. Also included are supplements that are designed to control your hunger, boost energy and improve muscle tone. Their nutritional supplements are designed to replace those nutrients that seem to be missing in the traditional Western diet and help cleanse toxins from the body. The product line includes such things as antioxidants to neutralize free radicals, energy boosting drinks, a womans' line of products that promote bone health, healthier skin and hair health. They also have a supplement that is my favorite, it provides the equivalent of eating 30 different fruits and vegetables. It tastes good and is really very healthy for you, I call it my morning booster shot.The founding members of this company have many years of experience in multi level direct marketing and have been involved in several very successful network marketing styled companies prior to starting ISAGENIX. The company had been around since 2002, has a very successful track record and a solid product line. Even with this recent economic down turn they still managed to see a 30% growth in the at home sales force. While all of this is great for the company it is in no way a guarantee of future success. While there are many stories of similar companies that have come and gone, only time will tell if ISAGENIX is a winner or not.It is important to understand that in the network marketing business world it takes time to establish yourself. Generally 3 - 5 years to build the proper down line that will then continue to reward you with the residual income that can make multi level marketing so financially rewarding. It takes hard work, patience and the proper training to be successful in today's network market and you can be successful if you are willing to put forth the required effort. Because of this I feel that it is important to learn effective, modern marketing strategies and to make good use of the internet if you want to be successful in network marketing. This rings true for any network marketing or online business in general. I would like to recommend that before considering any online or network marketing business that you do thorough research and due diligence before making any decisions.

Cyberwize - Have Aliens Gone MLM?

This is an unbiased no holds barred kick butt review of the Cyberwize business opportunity. Ok, so Cyberwize was founded in 1998. When reviewing companies it's always good to start there, because in this industry merely sticking around for a good length of time means a lot. Many start ups just don't have the staying power and wind up folding pretty quickly. That said, Cyberwize has now been in business for over a decade and so has beaten the odds.One of the main reasons that this may be so is because of their focus on the product. In reviewing the information it is very plain to see that the company has a tremendous amount of focus placed on their primary product and ingredient which are called adaptogens.A brief history of where these adaptogens came from.On June 30, 1908 in the Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai a powerful explosion occurred. Powerful is actually an understatement. Although the cause of the explosion is the subject of debate, it is commonly believed to have been caused by the air burst of a large and alien meteoroid or comet fragment at an altitude of 5-10 kilometers (3.1-6.2 mi) above the Earth's surface. Estimates of the energy of the blast range for 5 megatons to 30 megatons. This is about 1000 times more powerful than the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. The blast knocked over an estimated 80 million trees. This blast decimated that area whereby it also did something to the soil. Soil studies have only partly explained this phenomenon, indicating that intense heat appears to have concentrated soil nutrients to a greater richness than even volcanic soil. There is debate on exactly what happened, but the plants that began growing from within the blast area have shown certain properties that are not found anywhere else on earth. In fact of the 750,000 botanicals on the earth, only 30 qualify as adaptogens botanicals that are known to rid the body of stress and create a a state of homeostasis.Tungusta Blast and Tungusta Mist which are the primary products with Cyberwize contain a blend of 10 adaptogens.As preventative medicine gains momentum it is clear to see why a company like Cyberwize after having been in the industry for more than a decade is now starting to make waves. It seems that the timing is right and for those that are interested in the health and wellness industry this could be a good fit.The opportunity -Based on our research Cyberwize has a sound business opportunity to boot. The provide the traditional tools and opportunity to new distributors. They provide quite a few different start up prices/packages giving you choices on how much you want to spend and also what demographic you want to target.Start up prices -$69.99$99.99$199.99$399.99$999.99$1499.99Having this many price points is not very common in the industry. Generally, companies will have three at most so this ads another nice element to Cyberwize. The compensation plan is a traditional Binary that also includes a lucrative fast start bonus and a car bonus. Of course these bonuses are based on each persons ability to produce results and should not be counted on.The final piece that makes this company even more interesting is the way that they pay out commissions. They pay out commissions weekly and use what is called a Wizecard. Similar to a debit card with a visa logo on the card giving you ATM access and merchant access to over 8 million locations. It seems that this could eliminate a number of issues for reps that we have seen come up in the past. We will be monitoring this payment process and will most likely provide an update at some time in the future.Based on the information that we were able to gather. Cyberwize seems to be a very solid company with a standard compensation plan and heavy emphasis on their product which in our opinion is a very good thing.
