This is Myth 2 of 10 Myths of Direct Selling from The Direct Selling Association…

MYTH #2: Most direct selling companies are pyramid schemes that are doomed to fail.
FACT There’s a big difference between legitimate direct selling companies and pyramid schemes. Pyramid schemes seek to make money from you (and quickly). Legitimate direct selling companies seek to make money with you as you build your business (and theirs) by selling real products and services. In fact, legitimate direct selling companies work hard to protect consumers from pyramid schemes. Before you sign up with a company, investigate carefully. A good way to begin is to ask yourself these three questions:

1. How much are you required to pay to become an independent consultant?
If the start-up cost is substantial, be careful! The start-up fee in direct selling companies should generally be low and cover the cost of your start-up kit (usually sold at or below company cost) which can include training materials, sample products and other items to get your business going. These companies want to make it easy and inexpensive for you to start selling. Pyramid schemes, on the other hand, make nearly all of their profit on signing up new recruits. Therefore, the cost to become a distributor is usually high.

2. Will the company buy back unsold inventory?
If not, beware! Legitimate companies that require inventory purchases will usually “buy back” unsold products if you decide to quit the business. Some state laws and the DSA Code of Ethics require buy-backs for at least 90% of your original cost.

3. Are the company’s products sold to consumers?
If the answer is no (or not many), stay away! This is a key element. Direct selling (like other methods of retailing) depends on selling to consumers and establishing a market. This requires quality products, competitively priced. Pyramid schemes, on the other hand, are not concerned with sales to end users of the product. Profits are made on volume sales to new recruits, who buy the products, not because they are useful or attractively priced, but because they must buy them to participate. Inventory purchases should never be more than you can realistically expect to sell or use yourself.

This is Myth 1 of 10 Myths of Direct Selling from The Direct Selling Association…

MYTH #1: 99.9% of direct sellers lose money; people are afraid to drop out for fear of looking like a failure

FACT More than half of direct sellers report that their net income from direct selling, after taxes and expenses, is positive. In addition, a positive net income is reported by nearly half of new direct sellers — those representing their current company for less than a year — and by nearly half of direct sellers who say that they are not very likely or not at all likely to continue in direct selling in the future. In addition, research shows the following:

* four out of five (82%) direct sellers have been with their current direct selling company for one year or more, and 47% for five years or more.
* 89% of direct sellers rate their personal experience in direct selling as excellent, very good, or good.
* 84% of direct sellers say that direct selling meets or exceeds their expectations as a good way to supplement their income or as a way to make a little extra money for themselves.
* 91% of direct sellers say that direct selling meets or exceeds their expectations as a business where the harder they work the more money they can make.

(Source: 2002 National Salesforce Survey, Research International, Inc.)
This myth is also quite interesting because it essentially asserts that 15.2 million people in the US and 60 million people around the world continue as direct sellers despite losing money. Are we to believe the 5% of the US population would continue in a business where they are losing money? Simply put, most people do not lose money in direct selling. Neither the facts nor common sense supports that theory. Furthermore, anyone who gets involved with a legitimate direct selling company should not risk financial loss by doing so. The Direct Selling Association’s Code of Ethics, for example, is designed to protect direct sellers and their customers. Inventory buybacks (which include sales aids) and other provisions allow sellers recourse if there’s an issue with the company – no one should lose money in direct selling, nor should anyone feel like a failure if it doesn’t work out for them.

Interesting stuff!

Many blessings for your prosperity and well being.

We are currently building our team to share the new Zero Point Energy products now available in the United States….

Even I am shocked! We did a test with our new Zero Point Energy AM Pendant. Dennis told me to clasp my hands behind my back, forming like a little pocket between my hands. He stood behind me and pushed down moderately into my hands… which almost knocked me over backwards. He did that twice and I almost fell over backwards twice.  I was not strong enough to resist.

THEN… he put the AM Pendant on me… and did the same thing.. only this time he said he pushed harder… and I completely resisted, not budging at all. I was so much stronger I was amazed. I told him to do it again and the same thing… strong. Wow, if the pendant does this… what will the WAND do? We will have our Zero Point Energy Wands next week and I will let you know…

We visited with my family on Saturday and did some tests with them… all with the same 100% instant results.  We even helped my Mom both get rid of their neck pain.  This is SO amazing!

On one of my training calls last night I learned about a very high ranking (with Alexa) free advertising site and I want to share it with you also.

They offer free ads or two levels of paid ads here…

http://MillerVentures.com/usfreeads.php

I’ll tell you a little trick I learned.

I joined for free, then upgraded to “Gold” for $10 a YEAR.

Then when I saw all the benefits I decided to upgrade to “Premium” and because I had already upgraded to Gold, I was able to get the Premium for only $6.99 a month. That is a real deal.

For only $6.99 a month I can place unlimited ads on the site.

With the high ranking status, that means they get a LOT of traffic which of course means I get a lot of traffic for my ads.

They also have an affiliate program and I’m not sure exactly how that works yet; however, I love affiliate programs because that means you can end up getting your own service at no cost.

At any rate, it is a win-win, so I want to share it with you.

Here is the link to get your free account…

See you there!

Many blessings for your joyful prosperity and well being!

We have been members of the GBG 10-in-1 Liquid Vitamin business since January 2007.

We started out strong and quickly built a team and a great base for our business with several hundred members in only a few months.

Then there were some delays in shipping and changes in products that truthfully caused us to question our commitment to GBG for a few months.

However, even through the challenges we continued to receive our checks and they continued to grow!

NOW I am very excited to say that I believe GBG has come full circle…and it is even better than it was when we joined in 2007.

GBG has enhanced the compensation plan and it is EVEN better than it was before… a regenerating forced matrix with monthly bonuses and strong residual income with huge potential.

And it is only $29.95 to get started…

GBG has also changed the qualification requirements to make it much easier to qualify for higher pay levels.

We would love to tell you all about it! Just visit this site for all the details…

I’ll be honest with you.  This is a like a game for me… watching the numbers grow and the matrix fill is FUN… and I love sharing it with those who may be able to afford $11.11 when they cannot afford a more expensive opportunity.  We enjoy adding My Money Fish to our income streams AND sharing it with you so you can do the same.  When you join I will send you a little welcome letter with some extra resources to help you get started.

Good news!  The Founder’s position with extra special benefits has been extended because of the volume of people joining My Money Fish!  That means you still have a chance to get in at the top… and you know how important that can be, right?

Money likes speed. That’s the secret few know about money. Money comes to those who ACT FAST! If you think, wonder, question, doubt, plan, meet, discuss, or in any other way drag your feet, money moves to the next person in line. – Joe Vitale

When I am marketing online I often call it “fishing” because I publish materials (hook in the water) and I relax and check the line now and then to see if I have a bite.  Fun and profitable!

So when a friend of mine told sent this program to me, it got my attention first because of the name and then because of the simplicity of it.  It is a very simple and VERY inexpensive program, a good thing to consider for creating another income stream for the new year.

The program is My Money Fish and you can learn all about it here…

Why do I think this will really work?

- Because of its simplicity

The system allows you to get residual income, month after month of a few hundreds of dollars to $2000, and to a maximum of $22,200 – monthly. That’s residual passive income for your future.

Here’s a good business tip for you…

FORGET THE PAST AND WORK IN THE PRESENT.

Regardless of your perception of your lack of success, TODAY is a new day.

CHOOSE to think of your past “failures” as stepping stones to success and choose to work in the present moment.

Choose to take action today and focus on what you want to achieve without stopping every few minutes to analyze your results.

Keep the big picture in mind.

Simply ask yourself, “Is what I am doing today going to help me to get to where I want to go?”

Acknowledge all your experiences as valuable for helping you create success and freedom for you and your family.

Many blessings for your continued prosperity and well being.

Hi VoiParty Friends!

Here are more VoiParty Questions and Answers.

Q.: What is VOIParty?

A.: VoiParty is a very UNIQUE telecommunications company. VOIP is an acronym for “Voice Over Internet Protocol.” A PARTY is just people joining together to have FUN!

Q.: What is your Industry?
A.: VoiParty is a telecommunications industry wholesaler called an InterExchange Carrier (IXC).

Q.: What is your role in this industry?
A.: VoiParty is in the wholesale telecom industry, VoiParty is one of 90,000 independent wholesalers.

Q.: What do the IXCs compete for?
A.: All wholesalers compete for the delivery or termination of long distant calls from the telephone industry.

Q.: Why is VoiParty different from other IXCs?
A.: With our never before seen peer-to-peer network, VoiParty will be the first choice for any call termination in the industry because we are the least expensive wholesaler in the United States. VoiParty will be the first telephone company in history with the ability to cover 100% of the country.

Q.: What are your capabilities today?
A.: VoiParty is capable right now, today, to terminate 15% of the 100 billion minutes that the industry has available. That’s 15 billion minutes of phone calls per month.

Q.: What are the VIP Members role in this?
A.: VoiParty is building a starting network of 1.3 MILLION “telephone poles.” The ~4″ X 4″ VoiParty Connection box in your home, a high speed internet connection with a modem (cable, DSL or fiber-optic) and a second land line phone connection with unlimited local minutes in your home.

Q.: Do VIP Members need a Computer?
A.: No computer required.

Q.: How will VoiParty be competitive?
A.: VIP Members, our peer-to-peer system will allow VoiParty to build the largest national telephone network in the United States. We will cover 90% of the nation because our network of “telephone poles” is in members’ homes.

• AT&T, the largest of the “Baby Bell” telecom companies, covers only 30% of the nation. Larger telecom companies are at a disadvantage because of the incredibly high expense of maintaining their legacy systems. 75% of all telephones are still landlines which require telephone poles, lines, fiber optics, tunnels, engineers, maintenance crews, an enormous amount of additional infrastructure, advertising and huge corporate overhead.
• VoiParty’s unique peer-to-peer interexchange platform requires minimal traditional telecom equipment, no huge infrastructure to maintain and virtually no cost to deliver calls.

Q.: How does the VoiParty Peer-to-Peer Network work?
A.: The VoiParty connection box, or peer, is how we wholesale minutes. This little money machine plugs into your high speed Internet modem (no computer needed) and into a local, unlimited calling land line.

When we originate a call from one of our master peers we VOIP it through the internet to one of our connection boxes — our “telephone poles.” The call enters your box from the internet side and then it is sent out of your box through your land line side and the call is then delivered.

We will be doing this for an average of 300 minutes per day for all of the connection boxes (or peers) in the network. This is how VoiParty generates income. We then pay you, the network, 70% of that income.

I hope this answers a few more of you VoiParty Questions.

Love, Peace, and Blessings
