I will still be posting to both blogs.

Posturing

It is very important that you approach your leads properly and with the right mindset. Never approach them with the thought that “I really need to sponsor someone.” If you have that thought in mind you won’t sponsor any of the right prospects. You have to come with the mindset that you are doing them a favor by calling them. They have the opportunity to change their lives based upon this conversation.


Here’s an example of poor posture…would it be ok if I sent you some information? Leaders don’t ask they tell their prospects what the next step is and how you want to proceed.


Don’t give a sales pitch to your leads. Your job is to interview them by asking certain questions to see if they are someone that you want to work with. First position yourself like this with the opening statement. “Hi John, this is Steven. I’m calling you because you requested some information from one of my company websites about making money from home. How can I help you?”


A lot of times they will respond in an obtuse way. Keep them on point by saying…”you are still looking to generate income from home correct?”


Then follow up with the question “why are you looking to generate income from home?”
If at any point they are avoiding your questions or you can tell they are not the right people tell them that and let them go.


Here are some other questions to ask.


What are you currently doing for income?
How long have you been doing that type of work?
Do you enjoy what you are doing?
Have you ever worked from home in the past?
What type of income are you looking to generate from home?
How much time each week would you have to dedicate to building your business?
How much are you planning to invest initially in your business?


The whole time you are speaking with them you are listening to find out if they are someone you want to work with. You are acting as a consultant not a salesperson.


If they are someone you want to continue on with then tell them that. “John, it sounds like you are someone that I could possibly work with. Do you have a pen handy? My number is 555-555-5555. Could you repeat that back to me? What I am going to do is send you an email with a few links to websites for you to view the details about our company and what you’ll be doing to build your business. If you decide you want to go forward in the process call me back at the number I gave you.”

You are not needy here…the people that are looking to work with you are looking to make a change and you are there to assist them in the process. All those questions and each part of the call is to position yourself as a leader. You want to make so many calls for such a long period of time that you master this process.

This is how all successful network marketers develop the proper leadership skills. You will be shaky at doing this at first, but in time you will learn how to do it and become a success if you don’t give up.

Why It’s Safer To Be Self-Employed!

It isn’t necessarily safer to be self-employed, but it is much safer to have a “successful” online business than it is to have a corporate job. The difference between an online business and being self-employed is varied.

Many jobs like owning your own chiropractic clinic, being a dentist and running a body shop while you are self-employed your shop is open certain hours during the day and without you being there working there is no income. However, with an online business the shop is open at all times, in particular one that delivers digital products or one that is involved with a company that ships your product for you. So while one type of self-employment is still risky another type is not. When your money (investment, real estate, etc.) is working for you or your website is working for you without your continued direct involvement then this is solid job security. Especially when you are dealing with the kind of online business that does not drop off when the economy does. You see your online business is world-wide without any local limitations and time is not a factor. Someone can go to your web site and purchase your product or service any time any day regardless of whether you are in Tahiti or in front of your computer.

Here are 3 reasons why it is safer to be self-employed with an internet business.

  1. There is no job security. You can be fired for one mistake that you made. If the company decides it doesn’t need your division anymore it could lay you off. Then of course what do you do? You go get another job which has the exact same potential. Exciting isn’t it?
  2. Your income is based solely on your own continued efforts and faithfulness to showing up everyday. If something were to happen that left you incapable of doing either of these your usefulness to the company is no more While you can get income from disability or social security it is no way to live permanently. Who would want to rely on the government paying them??
  3. There is no time freedom when you are employed. You have to work specific hours and you don’t get paid when you are not working. Except of course those brief times that you get to enjoy your vacations every year. Woo hoo 3 weeks to do what I love to do. Why would you want the supposed “security” of a job when with an online business that pays you can get paid when you are sleeping, eating at nice restaurants and traveling.

    Of course this is not to say that having a home business is easy. It takes hard work, at first especially, when you are learning the ins-and-outs of internet marketing and developing the skills that you need to succeed. However, once you have a good system for yourself in place you can spend less time with it. The most important thing for you to realize that this internet marketing is not a get rich quick scheme it’s a genuine line of work that people make real money doing. You will probably be working at your full-time job when as you are developing the skills it takes to succeed. There’ll be times when you get frustrated and want to give up, but don’t…keep working at it and learning new skill sets.

The Real Reason People Quit...

This seems like a very simple question that can be answered by a few
typical/obvious answers:


They quit.

The didn't plug in.

They didn't participate.


Whichever it is, they quit.

What you should be asking yourself, or maybe know about yourself, is WHY...

Why didn't they follow through, while others do ?

When I learned the answer to this question last night listening in my Shaklee
University site, it was very sobering...

Not only did the reason behind their results come into the open, but the reason
for my recent spat of success has become apparent.

So what is the answer, the secret, the end all answer?

Why do most people fail when only a selected few succeed?

Drum roll.....

Those who do succeed have a CORE DESIRE to do so.

"Desire...your right Chris I've heard that 100 times from my upline. 'Just look
for those who desire to make money and you'll do great. blah blah blah...
Everyone I have ever talked to desires to make more money and it hasn't made any
difference so far."

And you are absolutely right.

The difference is in their level of desire.

The only time anything gets done in your life - When you follow it through to
completion with a sense of urgency, is when you desire to accomplish that goal
at a Core Level of 100 on a scale of 100.

You must accomplish it. It's part of you, it completely consumes you.

It dominates your thoughts above and beyond anything else each day and all day.

These are core desires, and the people who really achieve any notable success in
Network Marketing, have that accomplishment as a core desire.

They are the ones who you see on stage and hear on training calls.

That is the "secret" to success.

If reaching your goal, whether to pay off your credit card debt, buy a new
house, a new car, save money for retirement, or fire your boss, if it is not a
core desire, and not attached to your network marketing business, you WILL NOT
succeed. Period.

The sad truth is that most people in this industry did not buy a business, they
buy hope, a dream, an unattainable goal to them.

And this hope is NOT backed by true desire.

A career in Network Marketing ( no boss ever) has been my core desire since I
was 16 years old when I started my first job as a dishwasher.

I didn't want to work for a paycheck that I had no control over. If I worked
100x more than everyone else, I'd get paid the same as long as I did it in the
"40 hour workweek" that everyone else was.

Guess what, that didn't get me anything. I busted my butt while others didn't do
anything and no more recognition was given to me.

That is when I decided that I wanted to be able to control my own paycheck. I've
spent money on learning about how to be successful instead of going out to the
bar with my friends or spending my money on things that wouldn't further me in
my business.

The desire to never work for anyone else again has been a dominating force in my
life, and it's the reason I wouldn't give up or "throw in the towel".

What this means is that my success was 100% guaranteed. It was no longer a
question of IF I was going to be successful, but when...


And that is exactly why people you sponsor quit.

Don't get upset or mad at yourself over it. 80% of people who join you will
never sponsor more than 1 rep or customer. Most people simply don't have the
desire to be at a level of 100 to accomplish their goals through their business.
They just bought hope in order to quiet the little voice inside their head that
keeps telling them they need to make a change.

Once they buy into the business and don't make $1,000 in a week, they justify
that their change "doesn't work". This is what the "opportunity seekers" are.
That is exactly why I don't spend money on leads.

Such a tragedy. People sure are funny aren't they?

So my question to you is....


What is your desire level to achieve your goal through network marketing?

Is it at 50? (like most people)

Is it at 80? (still not enough)

Is it at 90? (nope, still not enough)

Or is it at 100? ( The only true level of desire that WILL produce results.)


You should be able to tell pretty quickly...

What do you do daily to build your business? How many books have you read on the
industry? How many conference calls are you on each week? How many people do you
talk to about your business each day?

What would you be willing to give and sacrifice to succeed?

I hope the answer to that question happens to be "whatever it takes", because I
can promise you that in the end.... it's worth the sacrifice.

So how can you tell if your prospect is going to succeed or fail from the FIRST
phone call?

Easy... Ask them the question "So which books are you currently reading on
self-development and marketing?"

Anyone who is SERIOUS about being a successful Entrepreneur will be able to name
at least one book that they are reading, if not more!

Those who can't answer this simple question are really just kidding themselves.


So, what my question for you is...

What books are you currently reading to better yourself? Are you truly committed
to success in this industry?

If you don't have an answer to this, then this industry isn't for you. Face it,
just go back to your 9 to 5 job and work for a paycheck that you have no control
over.

Leads and The Spider Web Marketing Lead Machine

In any business, the money has to come from somewhere. Whether it's from sales revenue or service charges or other transactions, the bitter business truth is that every dime in your pocket used to be in someone else's. It's not a bad thing. Just because you have money that used to be in someone else's possession, doesn't mean that the former owner is now busting out the food stamps. Through however many transactions between however many parties, you received money, and they received either goods or services. And that's how an economy works.

On a less Macro scale, in the world of network and multi-level marketing this principle remains especially true and obvious. At the very core of your business, you make money through the sale of goods or services to someone. You yourself may never sell a thing and be living in a huge mansion, but odds are you're benefiting from the sale of something to someone. This system of making sales work for you is part of the appeal of MLM.

Downlines. You benefit from the work of others. The more people you have in your downlines, the more profit you are making. Downlines make sales. You make money. End of story. But what's the name of the game?

Leads. The hottest commodity of MLM. If you've got 'em, you've got it. If not, you're going to be working really, really hard to pay for that huge mansion on door-to-door sales and Tupperware parties. If you can get downlines, you can get money. In order to have downlines, you need leads. In short, leads equal money.

And that's the MLM secret, which you already know, of course. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can't make a fortune by yourself in this business. But just because you know that you need leads doesn't mean you can find them. And that's where so many MLM ventures fail. It is a commonly reported statistic that well over 90% of those involved in MLM never make a profit. But you can bet that a healthy supply of leads will keep in you in the successful ten percent.

There's a couple different ways to go about it. You can do what most MLMers do (and fail): Make a list of your friends and family (sound familiar?), pass out 'business op' fliers, spend lots of money and have social functions, beg, plead, scream, pass out, wake up, continue. Eventually, the strenuous effort takes its toll on your health and you leave the industry to do something a little more docile and less stressful on your health, like substitute teaching in an alternative high school.

Personally, I tried a different Company, then another, then another.
I passed out Flyers.
I attended boring company training events, with limited success.


There is a better way. A way to channel leads to your business who come looking for it. The Spider Web Marketing System is a system designed to do one thing: generate leads. And it does so with the greatest effectiveness and efficiency in the industry. It's based on what is called the funded proposal system, a system that utilizes highly developed Internet marketing strategies to bring interested, real leads. The best part of funded proposal, and the great appeal of The Spider Web Marketing System, is that it perpetuates itself, so that it keeps itself going and continues to generate income for you, while continually sending quality leads your way.

There are other ways to get leads. You can put down some serious cash for "lead lists" who will give you pages and pages of innocent people who have been called a hundred times, and you can work off of that. But with Spider Web Marketing, these are leads that come to you. They are "fresh leads," meaning that they have not been called before or come from any list. These are people, who using the Internet, seek out a business opportunity and come straight to you.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System has been great for me because I am excited to gain solid leads. Its helped me get more leads, grow my business, and make more money, and helped me on my goal to Gain financial freedom; Gain time freedom; Spend my time with my family; Obtain economic independence; Enjoy my time and my life my way; Be a leader in my business; Share my knowledge with others; Share my success with others; Work less hours; Quit my J.O.B. and be FREE; Retire early.

Basically, The Spider Web Marketing System is a lead generating machine. And in a business where leads are the name of the game, that's a piece of equipment you can't afford to be without.

How do You know where You want to be?

I’m so used to most of my friends and colleagues wondering where in the world I always find time and energy to do the things I do, that I’ve finally decided to spend few minutes and give full answers to these questions.

The ultimate answer

First and foremost, the ultimate answer to all such questions: it’s all about having a clear vision in your mind. It’s about knowing where you want to be in not so distant future. It’s about being absolutely conscious that no matter how good or bad the current situation looks, it’s probably not the end of your journey.

I won’t claim knowing a special secret about setting your goals or anything like this - after all, I’m only learning to master the art of goal-setting myself. But I’m willing to share the few things I’ve learned so far, and I sincerely hope these pearls of wisdom would help you make the progress in your personal development you’re so hoping for.

Outcome vs Goal

One very simple thing I’ve learned is to treat my goals as outcomes.

Since all our achievements are nothing but the result of our self-confidence and determination, you really have be sure about what you should be doing to achieve the result you want. And what quite often happens is that we’re thinking goals, as in goals which sometimes seem too good to be true, or too far away to be easily reached, or simply too complex to be fully achieved. In other words, we set ourselves such goals that they’re always a possibility, but not a certainty.

You think: “Yeah, wouldn’t it be great to have more time freed up for my family?!… I should probably try and do something to make sure I don’t work late hours and don’t take up more projects than I physically can…” So the goal of having more time sounds like a good idea.

But because we’re not sure how much more time we’d like to free up, and how it’s going to look and feel, and when it’s going to happen, it’s REALLY hard to achieve such a goal. Quite simply, you’re not giving yourself a chance to know when you’re approaching your goal and when you’ve really achieved it. But what if we consider this goal to become an outcome?

Outcomes are always certain. There is no probability here at all, not a shadow of doubt about getting an outcome - whether we like it or not, we’re going to get some outcome following our actions. It may not be quite the outcome you were aiming for, but it will be an outcome. We have to look at this goal and see what the outcome is going to be for us.

What will really improve when you get more time freed up? How will it improve in your opinion? How much time do you really need to see such an improvement? Would 1 extra hour a day be good enough, or do you want two hours?

So just knowing that there’s something you’re going to get helps you look at the whole plan of yours from a completely different perspective. It’s no longer a question of whether something happens or not. It an outcome now, it’s a thing certain to happen. And just like that, in an instant, you see a magical transformation for a vague goal into a sharp certainty quite possible to be achieved.

Ultimate goals

Every one of us should have ultimate goals. There shouldn’t be too many of them, but you absolutely need at least a few. They would be your guiding lines - something you always keep in mind in every effort you’re making. For instance, my ultimate goals are the driving force behind most of my actions.

There’s an odd action now and then which doesn’t fall into any of my ultimate goals but that’s the truth of life - you can’t turn every action required and expected from you to be beneficial.

Sometimes (as it probably happens with your job, for instance), you have to do things which are part of someone else’s ultimate goal or vision, but that’s what you’re paid for, isn’t it?

I don’t want to give you a list of my ultimate goals - partially because I’m changing them all the time, make some of them more accurate and therefore easy to follow, or just reordering them to ensure the most important goals are the first ones I work on. Also it is because no ultimate goal of mine is final - once I reach the goal, I simply make the milestone and develop the goal into a bigger one, so that it’s a constant pursuit of something bigger and better. For me such a state of things is nothing but a pure and constant motivation.

When I have a clear vision of my future, I have a list of my goals - and I know I’m always doing my best to get closer to them. But if my goals were finite, I would simply be disappointed once I’d reached them. So I always push my goals higher and further apart. This way I have the motivation to grow and continue to do what I’ve been doing.

Knowing where you want to be

Many of you will find that it’s much easier to know where you don’t want to be! That’s good enough, work from there! Don’t be so hard on yourself, but simply try being conscious about your current position. For me, I always know there’s something else waiting for me ahead in the future. And this motivates, not disappoints me.

Every time I go to gym I KNOW it’s not the last time I’m going to do it. Right now my goals could be about losing some weight or growing some muscles, but even when I do reach these goals, I’m sure I’ll transform them into some other goal like making sure I stay healthy and physically active for as long as possible.

Every time I’m learning something new in my profession, I KNOW it’s just another piece of useful information. I’m sure that if there’s a chance to learn something else, and provided that I have enough time for it, I’ll go for it. I’ll never stop learning. Every time I write an entry in this blog, I’m ABSOLUTELY SURE it’s not the last one. Because there’s always going to be something else I can learn to help myself grow, to try it out and to share it so that others could enjoy the results too.

Knowing where you want to be is very important. It’s not a set of goals, but more like a vision. It’s a number of your wildest dreams you want to come true once day. It’s all these things which you’re finally going to achieve. And that’s the energy and motivation to keep you going even when no one else believes in you. It doesn’t matter. Y

YOU know better what’s good for you and for your goals.

What about YOU?

Do you know where you want to be? You may not have a clear vision of your future, but let me assure you - even feeling that you’re not quite there is a good start! Don’t stop there! Try and make the next step. Find some time and analyze your goals - both everyday and ultimate ones. See what’s really important for you and start paying them more attention. This is the effort you have to make as it will eventually make all the difference for you.

Don’t worry about so much work to be done. Don’t be afraid to dream of a better future. Don’t be discouraged if something doesn’t work out the way you wanted it to. It doesn’t mean anything! You can do much more than you think you can, and as long as you know where you want to be and you keep working on getting there, you’re going to be just fine!

The Right Timing to Join MonaVie



MonaVie blends unequaled nutritional power with an unparalleled business opportunity that enables MonaVie distributors to capitalize on the surging health and wellness industry.

Often compared to riding a wave or striking a hot iron, timing is the key to success for any business today. With many industries at the mercy of a capricious public, the health and wellness industry is one that will never go out of style. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that nearly 8,000 people turn 60 each day. Fueled by an aging baby boomer population's desire for better health and an image conscious younger generation, the wellness industry continues to grow at an impressive year over year rate.

And who better to judge MonaVie's future performance and timing in the marketplace than Maria Ramirez, recognized by The Wall Street Journal as one of the top five economic forecasters.

“Within the functional food and nutritional beverage category, MonaVie is perfectly positioned for exponential growth. I fully expect them to become the prominent driver within this category over the coming years!”

—Maria F. Ramirez

The right time to capitalize on the health and wellness industry is now, and the right company is MonaVie.

Randomized Controlled Study of MonaVie Active

The results of recent research surrounding MonaVie Active(TM), a juice containing acai berries and pulp, as well as other nutrient-rich fruits, will be presented in a session entitled "Antioxidants in Fruits and Vegetables and Improving Human Health" at the 2nd International Symposium on Human Health Effects of Fruits and Vegetables on Wednesday, October 10, 2007, 10:15 a.m. - noon, in the Grand Salon East at the Omni Hotel in Houston, TX. Alexander Schauss, PhD, FACN, will highlight findings of in vitro studies evaluating the antioxidant capacity of MonaVie, as well as in vivo studies to determine antioxidant absorption and bioactivity.

This three-part study examined whether the fruit antioxidants in MonaVie are in a form able to enter into and protect living cells in vitro and also examined the bioavailability of MonaVie and its effect on serum biomarkers of oxidative damage after ingestion. An initial in vitro study was performed to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of MonaVie in a cell-based antioxidant capacity (CAP) assay, as well as using the TEAC assay that found it to be 28,421 umolTE/L. MonaVie showed a clear dose-dependent antioxidant effect in the CAP assay, indicating that compounds in MonaVie are able to cross the plasma membrane of living cells and subsequently provide significant protection from oxidative damage within the cells.

In the second stage of the study, four ounces of MonaVie was administered to six participants on a single day to identify the time course for antioxidant absorption and bioactivity. Blood samples were collected immediately prior to ingestion and at 30, 60 and 120 minutes post consumption. Evidence of absorption, based on increased antioxidant bioactivity and antioxidant compounds in serum was found in all six subjects. A third randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study of 12 healthy adults was then conducted. Participants fasted overnight and a baseline blood sample was drawn. Immediately afterward, four ounces of MonaVie or a placebo was consumed. Blood samples were drawn at one and two hours after ingestion, and CAP and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assays were used to evaluate serum antioxidant capacity and serum lipid peroxidation, respectively. Consumption of MonaVie resulted in an increase in the serum antioxidant capacity in 11 of 12 participants within two hours of consumption. Results also found that ingestion of MonaVie resulted in a decrease in serum lipid peroxidation within two hours of consumption in 10 of the 12 study participants, most likely due to the increased serum antioxidant capacity.

kiwi, pear, cranberry and prune, each selected for its unique, beneficial properties.

The Only Way to Be Happy is to Give Happy

It's common to hear people say, "I just want to be happy." And who doesn't? It's certainly much better to be happy than sad. Good times are better to experience than bad. But pursuing happy is a little off the mark. It's like trying to grab smoke.

Whenever we make happiness our goal, we set ourselves up for a futile chase. First, we do something that we think will make us happy. Then, once that pleasure is through, we move on to the next. Usually, the pleasures have to escalate to continue to satisfy, and we find ourselves in an endless climb. From pleasure to pleasure we go, never really finding happiness.

The paradox is that happiness comes from living according to the highest picture we have of ourselves, not from pursuing and receiving pleasure. Everybody has an image in their mind of who they are and what they stand for. Sometimes our actions verify this inner image, and sometimes they run counter to it. This is where our spirituality comes in. The proper picture of ourselves is from our god's perspective. Our perspective will always be a little flawed, skewed, and biased. We either tend to think we are better than we are, or we think horribly of ourselves. But our Creator has the true picture, and the closer we get to understanding what the Bible says about who we are, about "who's" we are, and about what we are here to do, the more we can understand what the accurate picture of ourselves should be. Happiness then comes from living according to this accurrate and true picture of ourselves.

Interestingly, this results in large part in service to others. When we are faithful in this service, in which we may or may not find "pleasure", we will, however, find happiness! It's such a strange paradox, but I believe you'll find it to be true. It's one of the reasons that serving other people works so well to lift your spirits when you are down. Tis much better to give than to receive. But every time we give, we actually receive at the same time. It can't be helped. Happiness will find you there!

Leadership utlimately ends up being about service to others. That's why most leaders you meet, even if in the middle of strife and surrounded by obstacles, are actually very happy. They might not be the biggest consumers of pleasure in our society, but they generally have a corner on the market of happiness! I guess it's one of the rewards to those of you who give of yourself in the service of others. God bless those of you who are out there learning and growing, seeking to expand in your leadership ability, and looking for ways to make your gifts count in the lives of others! May you experience all the happiness your pursuit earns you!

Saving and earning at our favorite retailers

This might sound too good to be true, especially because it's FREE and easy, but I encourage you to give it a chance. It's very real and it's based on a sound business model.
There's a site called BigCrumbs.com that let's us save cash when shopping at places we already shop (such as eBay, Gap, Old Navy, Circuit City, Target and more).

Also, whenever anybody we refer shops, we get paid too--FOREVER.

Even better: Whenever anyone referred by our referrals shops, we can also get paid (and so on). We can actually get paid on referrals up to 5 generations away.

This is not a pyramid. It's just a referral program that lets us take advantage of viral marketing for a change. Remember, it's free and based on a real service that helps us save when shopping.
There's also no mystery to how it works. BigCrumbs.com is paid a marketing commission by partnered retailers and they use that to pay cash back and referral commissions to us. Everyone wins.

Bottom line: I tell you about this site, you shop just like you usually do, but now you save cash. I also get a little cash for telling you about BigCrumbs.com.

Then, you tell more people and YOU get paid when they shop (and so do I) and so on. So, we can actually earn cash each time thousands of people shop.

The site has been around for over two years and is giving people a real chance to benefit from the economy. We probably won't make millions, but extra savings and income never hurts.

95% vs 5%

Our thoughts lead to our actions. How we think will be indicated by our behaviors. To arrive at 5% results in life, we must first learn to think like 5%-ers. Once we do that, we can start behaving like 5%-ers, and the 5% resultant lifestyle will be sure to follow. (Of course, not all situations are true for all people all of the time, but we think you'll agree that the following lists are largely and amazingly accurate).

The Changing Face of Network Marketing

The days of large network marketing companies dictating everything to their distributors are rapidly drawing to a close. Soon network marketing will truly be independent business owners with multiple streams of income flowing into their coffers. The days of making lists of friends and everyone you know are disappearing and have already gone for the serious players.

So what’s happening to cause this?

What’s happening is that marketing is finally being introduced into the network marketing psyche at the ground floor levels. People are realising that by providing quality content on subjects related to their business they are able to attract qualified prospects into their contact list.

The internet is enabling people to combine tools that work to generate traffic and qualified leads to almost any good business opportunity. By building a list of qualified prospects with a pre-built automated marketing process network marketers are able to continue to provide quality information coupled with offers to relevant products and services.

The thirst for information coupled with the ability of the internet to deliver immediately with high profit margins makes information the ideal product to add into the new network marketing offering. The reason many network marketing companies exist is that their products don’t fit into traditional distribution channels. This is exactly why this industry started back in the 1930’s with the company that became Nutrilite. Like many nutraceutical products today, back then Nutrilite’s product, a food supplement containing all the essential vitamins and minerals, required a great deal of customer education.

This need creates the opportunity for savvy network marketers to create their own information products or use relevant affiliate products and add them into their product mix. Because it takes time to go through the primary product details and explain the benefits of these new products to potential customers an information product that does this automatically and consistently facilitates the process and enables the network marketer to be much more productive.

The benefits to the industry will be enormous. No longer will it be dominated by overzealous or desperate people trying to constantly close the sale. Rather the multi-income-stream generating network marketer will be focused on providing quality information in their chosen field and working with those prospects that show the most promise to build their business.

The control of their list of prospects and members is the key to the new network marketer’s independence. By having their prospect join their own list prior to joining their primary business the new network marketer will be able to promote whatever they like to their prospect. Should the company have problems then this strategy also protects the network marketer from losing everything. They will be able to simply find a better company and swap his whole downline into it.

What we are seeing is a shift in power through the network marketer’s control of the list being enabled by the use of the internet and a widespread understanding of what’s possible for the little guy or gal.

What is Freebie Force?

Freebie-Force International - A great, Low Cost MLM.

- What is Freebie Force?

- Freebie Force International is a new internet company that just began in August of 2007. We seek out and display free products and services that we find everywhere on the net, and even in businesses near you. You can find out about the products by taking a free no-obligation tour at Freebie Force.
http://theincometeam.makemoneywithfreebies.com

- Where does all this FREE stuff come from?

- Big name companies give away things ALL the time. Its a promotion tactic to attract customers to brand names. Freebie Force seeks out these products and services so that our members will have first hand knowledge of free offers the moment they are released to the public. Since only a certain quantity of free products are often given away, its absolutely great to NEVER miss a free offer!

- Is Freebie Force free to join also?

- Freebie Force is NOT free to join. It would not work if allowed everyone to sign up for free. This is because the free products would go very fast if we let everyone in. It costs just $9.95 a month to sign up, which is a great deal considering the service we provide and all the money you will save. Even today (May 2/2008) there is a completely free laptop available, along with all kinds of free products and free services. Most deals expire very fast so the sooner you join, the sooner you will get in on the free offers.

- What things can I get for free?

- There are different offers all the time. Our members have gotten free concert tickets, free trips, free groceries, free coupons, free gas, free cars, free computers, free appliances... We have saved thousands of dollars in things that we needed but had gotten for free.

- Ok.. Ok.. I'm convinced on the "free" bit... but I heard somewhere you can make money with this. How is that?

- YES! You can make money. Our compensation plan involves a 5 X 7 FORCED Matrix. You get two affiliate websites when you sign up to promote your referral links. For every person that you refer, you will receive a monthly $1 residual income. If you refer just a few people, your earnings can quickly add up. A 5 X 7 Matrix has two parts, the width and the depth....5 width and 7 depth.

The maximum number of people a person can have on the first level is 5, second 25, third 125... and so on, way up to 78125 per level! The maximum number you can have on your team is 97655!

Here's a chart:
YOU (leader)
1 5 X 1 = $5
2 5 X 5 = $25
3 5 X 25 = $125
4 5 X 125 = $625
5 5 X 625 = $3125
6 5 X 15625 = $78125
7 Total: $97655!!! per month

- I'm SOLD! Free Stuff! Residual Income! .... Where do I sign up?

- Just go to our FREE TOUR SITE and either sign up for a free tour or a paid membership right way. Take a look at our special team gateway page.

Remember, the sooner you join, the better your position will be in our matrix. Our site has plenty of new and exciting things planned in the near future to rapidly expand the membership, so NOW is the time to join.
