Buying Liquid Vitamins - Things You Should Know

People have a lot of different reasons for buying liquid vitamins. Some people just can’t swallow pills and capsules, others have children that need an easy way to take vitamins and most people realize now that to get the best absorption and benefits, a liquid vitamin is the way to go. The problem most people run into when trying to buy liquid vitamins is not only finding one but finding a quality product.


Benefits of Liquid Vitamins


After learning all the benefits liquid vitamins offer it is surprising to find so many pill forms of vitamins still out there. The first and most important difference is the absorption rate. The traditional vitamin pill has a very poor absorption rate which directly affects how much or how little benefit a person will receive from the vitamins. A pill has binders and fillers added to help keep the pill together and is then compressed with 60,000 foot/pounds of pressure to form the pill. The body’s digestive system can’t break down most pills because of how hard they are. In fact many nurses in hospitals call vitamin pills bed pan bullets because even after going through the body you can still read the name on the pill. This means that no matter how much nutrition is in the pill, the body is only absorbing a very small percentage. Liquid vitamins however are readily available to be absorbed by the body so they deliver much more of the nutrition. There are even ‘isotonic’ vitamins available. Isotonic means ‘same as’ your body fluids like your tears,  blood and sweat. The liquid is isotonic so that when you drink it your body recognizes it as already digested and absorbs it immediately. An isotonic vitamin will absorb 95% to 98% in 5 to 10 minutes. For this reason people actually start to notice health benefits when using liquid vitamins and supplements.

Cost of Liquid Vitamins


People are many times surprised at the cost of most liquid vitamins. They are usually more expensive per serving than pills. But if you put into perspective the the amount of actual nutrition that is absorbed into the body, the price of the liquids will almost always be more reasonable. For example, if you are spending $10 for a 30 day supply of vitamin pills that had 50mg of vitamins per serving in it, but only 10% of the nutrition was being absorbed (which is good for a pill), your paying $0.07 per mg being absorbed. On the other hand the same 50mg liquid vitamin that seems more expensive at $30 for a 30 day supply which absorbs at 90% would break down to about $0.02 per mg being absorbed. Again, this superior absorption rate is why people actually notice results when they take liquid vitamins. So, what is the point of paying less for something that isn’t going to be effective anyway. It may seem more expensive when buying liquid vitamins, but in the long run they will actually do what they are supposed to and will usually cost less than that soda or coffee you buy everyday anyway.

Finding Quality Online Business Mentors and Mentoring Programs

Everyone needs mentors at some point in their lives. Even the most experienced business mogul needs mentors for specific areas they are having trouble with or just learning about. Because of business mentors specialized skills in their specific field hiring one can be very costly. In general, they are worth it or they wouldn’t be in business. The problem comes in when a person is looking to increase their knowledge through a mentor or mentoring program but doesn’t have the cash for the expensive fee’s that can be involved.


Why People Seek Mentors


The most obvious reason is because of the mentors experience and track record. So people are willing to pay to learn from the mentors mistakes and experiences instead of making the mistakes themselves. A good way to look at it is ‘I’m going to pay for the experience whether it is through my own mistakes, which will be costly, or I can pay for a mentor to steer me around those mistakes through his experience.’ Either way it going to cost you, so why not pay for a short cut.


Things To Look For In Mentors


In traditional business it is very important to find someone who not only has experience mentoring but also has successful businesses himself. A person can be school smart or book smart but there is nothing like the actual experience of starting and running a successful business. Make sure a successful business is part of their resume before paying thousands of dollars for their advice. You must also get along with the mentor on a personal level. Why? Because, even though someone may be business savvy their personality must be able to translate their experiences to you in a way that is patient and understanding. The mentor must be able to talk with you like a friend that truly cares about your success and not just his paycheck from you.


Finding Mentors For Free?


Is it possible to find mentors or mentoring programs that aren’t going to charge you every time you want to learn something new when you start a business? There are incredible mentors around that can teach you about business that don’t get paid unless you are successful. These mentoring programs are the best kind because the mentor is payed only when you experience success. These kinds of mentoring programs are usually found in the network marketing industry. The best part about these mentors is that they will not only teach you about the business they are in but many times have past experience in many traditional venues like franchising, real estate and self-started businesses. Take advantage of their drive and experience in multiple business experiences and let it bring your knowledge and business to the next level.


These mentors can help with not only business but other areas as well. When you become successful in one area of your life the success mentality will usually flow to other parts of your life like relationships, health and spirituality. Make sure you check out any mentor your planning on using and feel completely comfortable with them before starting your success journey with them.


In todays economy so many people are looking for a new way to earn money. An Online business is almost always something people think of starting but usually have little to no experience doing. For this reason David and Link2Profits started an 'online marketing boot camp' with a team of experienced online mentors and is offering the course, for free, to people interested in learning how to market online.

How to Become a Millionaire - Steps to Take and Avoid

The most important step to becoming a millionaire is mind-set. There is NOTHING more important. Since most of us don’t personally know many millionaires we must seek out successful people and find out what they are doing to create success in their lives. Doesn’t it make sense that we need to take advice from rich people on how to make money and not from uncle Bob or our next door neighbor who are struggling themselves. A favorite saying I heard is ‘the longest path to becoming a millionaire is wasting your time trying to find the shortest way to become a millionaire.’ If you truly want to become a millionaire you will need to take the time to learn what other successful people do, how they do it and what you can do to emulate them. That is the only short cut. Your going to need to go through successes AND failures without being discouraged because you are going to experience both during your journey.


What To Start Looking For


You need to start looking for a business or process that is best suited for you. Not everything works for every one since we all have different skill sets. Also, if all you are thinking about is being a millionaire when you look at an opportunity you will more than likely get sucked in by hype or slick sales pitches. Don’t let this happen to you. You must actually look at the process and the work you will have to do to reach the millionaire status because you WILL have to work at it no matter what opportunity you choose. Don’t fool yourself and just ‘buy hope’ thinking the process will happen automatically. It won’t. Find someone you connect with and trust, then start doing what they are doing. Don’t stop searching, there is an opportunity and mentor out there for everyone and I am sure of that.


That All Important Millionaire Mentality


There is a stunning 97% failure rate out there when it comes to home businesses. Why? Because people ‘buy hope’ and don’t have the right mentality. Thinking like ‘man, I really would like it if I was a millionaire’ won’t do anything for you. That is the mentality of a gambler or someone who buys lottery tickets, ‘hoping’ to be rich. Mental shift people! How about thinking ‘I am going to be a millionaire no matter what it takes for me to get there. It will be hard but being average is not cutting it for me. I will continue finding ways to create wealth in my life and move on to new ways if the old ways don’t work, without feeling discouraged.’ This can be hard at first but will continue to become easier as you move on and find more people with the same millionaire mentality as you and start moving away from people with the ‘average’ mentality that can drag you down. It is hardest at the start so, don’t get discouraged. Continue to rely on the people you have found that can teach you about the success mentality until YOU are that person others come to for inspiration and knowledge.



Opportunities You May Come Across


Many people start searching for opportunities online. This is a good place to start because there are many legitimate opportunities online. But you must be careful not to get sucked into the hype mentioned before. Don’t let that lottery mentality take over. Make sure you research the opportunity and what you are going to have to do to make it work. If it looks right for you, make sure the people you will be working with are people you are comfortable with because they are the ones you will be relying on to teach you. These people are important because many companies claim to be able to offer huge amounts of income right away. This may be true, but the people that are able to do that probably have serious experience in the industry making it possible for them to pull that off. Having a strong relationship with an experienced person like this will shorten the learning curve you must go through to achieve your millionaire goals.


Final Millionaire Thoughts


So, make sure you don’t get caught up in hype. Make sure you do your due diligence on any opportunity you come across so you know if you are going to be able to do what it takes to make the opportunity work. Pick what works for you after you’ve done some research and make sure you find some experienced people you trust to emulate and learn from. Your success and millionaire mind set will begin to grow slowly at first but come to a point where it can’t be stopped, as well as the millions of dollars that come with that mind set. That’s right, the money is a side effect of ‘thinking and acting’ successful.

Mary Kay Business Review - Mary Kay Ash’s Story Inspires Women

May Kay’s story is an inspirational one for everyone that work’s hard and believes in something better. Her story is especially inspirational to women. Just as many women in the work force today face the hardship of competing in a ‘man’s world’ Mary Kay Ash was challenged with the same problem. She thought she had a great job and was appreciated by her superiors. Mary Kay worked for 25 years in the direct sales industry as a national training director. This all changed as yet another man was  promoted ahead of her with twice the salary. This wouldn’t have bothered her except that she trained this man also. She left her industry of 25 years that obviously didn’t appreciate her skills and abilities.


Why Mary Kay Ash Inspires


Mary Kay Ash didn’t get to where she was in the direct sales industry without hard work. Her ‘can do’ attitude transformed from concentrating her previous job to writing a book designed to educate women on how to earn the opportunities in their career that she was never given. After writing the book she realized it was not only an self-help book but also a plan that could build a solid foundation for a successful business. Her ‘can do’ attitude was transformed once again and focused on building a business that could benefit women everywhere.


What Her Inspiration Created


The focus on Mary Kay began in 1963. With only $5,000 in savings, the help of her 20 year old son Richard and her extensive experience in direct sales, Mary Kay’s Beauty line was created. The company has grown to be traded in 35 markets around the world and has 1.8 million sales representatives that have created over $2.4 billion in sales.


The Mary Kay quality products include skin care, make-up (of course), spa and body treatments and fragrances. As a distributor you are able to sell any of the products which all give you the ability to earn 50% profit on everything you retail. Marketing methods for Mary Kay mostly include online, traditional print (brochures) and personal contact which means 1 on 1 or by doing party presentations.


The Business Model and How You Make Money


Mary Kay business model has of course followed the one she is most familiar with, direct marketing. The profits on the product are great. It is rare to find a company that offers that much of a profit to its distributors. But that is the only way you are able to earn money in Mary Kay. Because of this there is no time or financial leverage created. In essence it is like a second job and only produces money when you are working on selling, when you stop so does the money. If you are looking for a little extra money on the side selling some quality products Mary Kay may be perfect for you, but if you are looking for a way to create a substantial residual income there are probably better opportunities out there. Creating time freedom and financial freedom in your life is what many people are looking for today. There are business systems out there that leverage the power of the internet and team marketing instead of relying solely upon your own efforts. Automated business systems and the ability to work with business partners and customers world wide are some of the advantages you need to be aware of and tap into.

Setting and Writing Your Goals - The First Steps to Reaching Personal Goals

Why are goals so important? Why don’t people follow through even after they have taken the time to write their goals down? What do written goals do for you? These are some of the questions we will go over in this article.


Having goals is the most fundamental part of achieving success in any area of your life. Without goals you have no direction, so are unable to take specific actions in a specific direction to start achieving what you want out of life. To set goals you must think in reverse, meaning you must know what you want for a final outcome before you start working towards that outcome.


Change Your Goals


Most people have goals already even if they aren’t aware of them. Common goals in life are ‘paying my bills’, ‘going to work’, ‘picking up the kids’, ‘taking out the trash’ and many other ones your probably familiar with. These goals are there because of our past experiences. We are used to having to do these things and so they are in the forefront of our minds. Whatever we think about transforms our life to mimic our thoughts. This is where writing goals down comes in.


Why Writing Goals Really Works


Since all we are familiar with is our past experiences in life it is sometimes difficult to  set goals outside of what we are familiar with. When we write our goals down our mind not only begins thinking about those goals, but begins thinking about how to achieve those goals. Also, when we review those specific goals on a daily basis our mind has trouble thinking about anything else since those thoughts are being continually reenforced. So you must think of the things you want in life and picture yourself in that place. It has to become real in your mind to the point that you absolutely believe this is what your life will begin looking like as you head down that new path. Think of the cars, houses, relationships with new friends, traveling and any other things you want in your life. Now write them down and why you must achieve these goals and your brain will begin coming up with ideas of how to achieve them.


A Study that Proves the Power of Written Goals


A graduating class was interviewed and asked how many had written goals with a written plan on how to achieve them. About 3% of the class did have written goals. The class was brought back together 20 years later and interviewed again. Some of the things that were noticed was the fact that the 3% seemed happier more well adjusted to life and had a better outlook of the future. Those things are just unmeasurable beneficial side effects of the success they created. The one thing that was definitely measurable was that the 3% with written goals earned more money than the other 97% combined. If that isn’t reason enough to have written goals I don’t know what is. 


Why People Fail to Follow Through with Goals


The problem most people have with follow through is that they get bored. Even when goals have been written and a plan is being followed, people begin to think ‘there’s got to be something else i can do to speed this process up’. They start looking for new ways and stop doing the same simple daily steps they need to take to eventually reach their goals. They are in a get it now mentality and don’t want to stick to something if it takes time to get it. This is the biggest mistake that can be made. 


A way to avoid this is by having a powerful ‘why’. This means ‘why’ am I taking these daily steps. For example, ‘My parents are getting older and can’t work. They don’t have any savings left and I am NOT going to let them struggle in their old age. They deserve better and they are GOING to get it.’ Or, ‘My children are growing up so fast and I haven’t started saving for college yet. They DESERVE to have an education I never had so they can enjoy a successful fulfilling life and they are GOING to get it.’ By having a powerful enough why you will not forget how important these goals and daily steps are to you and continue to follow your path to success.

Is There An Easy Home Based Business Around

Everyone wants to know if there is an easy home based business. Just the fact that 97% of home based businesses fail should be a clue that no business, including a home based business, is easy. Hard work and dedication is required in any business and this is definitely true for a home based businesses as well. And if there were an easy one everyone would be doing it and raking in the cash. So, the short answer is, no there isn’t an easy one.


The Difference Between Easy and Simple


If instead you said ‘is there a simple home based business around’ the answer would be yes. I say this because the process of setting up and running a business from home can be very simplistic. For example, find a company that you can partner with, study their training’s, apply the training’s and use any mentorship or team work that the company offers. So, an easy home based business with the mentality of ‘all I do is join and I start making money’ doesn’t exist. That ‘easy’ mentality doesn’t work for any other part of your life and won’t lead to success with a business whether it be traditional business or home based.


Reasons Home Based Businesses Fail


A home based business has unique difficulties of its own. Unlike traditional businesses which, even though still owned by you, have employees, partners, customers that expect you to be open and many other things that hold you accountable, a home based business usually has few or none of these to keep the average person on track. People are used to having a boss or co-workers that they are held accountable to. When these things aren’t in place people tend to slack off and not take the time and effort required to make a business work. In other words people don’t treat the home based business like they would a ‘real’ business, and then wonder why it isn’t working for them.


Another reason the failure rate is so high in home based business is because anyone can start one even if they have no idea what they are doing or have had any previous experience with owning a business. The average person can’t start a franchise for example because it usually costs hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first place. On top of that the franchisor requires certain training’s and sometimes previous experience in a related field before they will okay the franchise for the person. These two reasons alone usually keep anyone that isn’t completely serious about putting 100% into making the business work from starting a traditional business in the first place.


This isn’t the case with home based businesses. Many home business opportunities can be started for under $1000 which makes it affordable for most people. This is also the problem many times. Since the person didn’t put a lot of money into the business in the first place it is easy for them to quit when it gets hard or they lose focus and just let the business slip. This wouldn’t happen if the person had hundreds of thousands of dollars invested and had to make it work because they left their former job meaning the business was the only thing paying the bills.


How to Prevent Failure


A mental shift has to happen to make your home based business successful. The person has to treat the business like it is a ‘real’ or ‘traditional’ business. If that mentality is not taken on the business will fail. The training’s that the company you decide to partner with offers must be learned and implemented on a daily basis if you hope to succeed. There is going to be a learning curve for any business you start, and if you don’t keep up with it your business will suffer. Take advantage of the mentorship and teamwork most home based businesses offer. Having team members and experienced leaders to hold yourself accountable to always helps. Take your home business seriously and you will become just as successful as you would with any other business out there.

Rich Dad Poor Dad - A Robert Kiyosaki Education Part 1

Rich Dad Poor Dad, if you didn’t already know, is one of the books written by Robert Kiyosaki. The idea of the book came from his experiences with two ‘fathers’ while growing up. One father was a traditionally educated man that went through college and had a corporate style career in education. The other father figure, who was actually a friends dad, never graduated college or did well in school in general, but created and ran successful businesses that made him rich. The lessons learned from each father were invaluable to making the book a success because people rarely get to see both sides of the financial spectrum at the same time. His experiences help him explain the differences in the mentality between rich and poor people in a way most people are able to grasp.


Go To School, Get Good Grades, Get a Good Paying Job... Maybe.


As times change so does the way we earn money. The classic advice of our parents and grandparents is to ‘get a good education, find a good job at a good company and the company will take care of you. The sad part about that is that many people still believe that! Times have changed which also changes how we earn money. The problem with that is the advice for how to earn money hasn’t changed with it.


Why the Rich Don’t Work for Money


This is probably the most important step to start understanding how to create wealth in your life. Robert Kiyosaki explains that there is a trap most people fall into that is fueled by fear and greed. It is the trap of trading your life for money and almost everyone has their price. Once the right price is offered, by a company or job the person is trying to get, the snare is set. The fear of not having money to buy the necessities in life is the emotion that causes people to seek out jobs. It is the greed of finally getting the money and starting to think of all the things you can buy with it that trap a person. The fear and greed causes the person to continue waking up early and wasting their life away at a job they probably don’t even like. And all it takes to keep them in the trap is a measly little raise each year that probably doesn’t change anything in their life. So, working hard for money will never change your life. A job is actually a short-term solution to a life long problem. It only solves the problem for the time being because as soon as you stop working the money stops and the problem persists. 


Why Just Being Rich Doesn’t Solve Everything


Since fear and greed are an emotion, having money in itself doesn’t always solve the problem. If a mental shift is not made and we are unable to change our emotions from controlling us the problems will continue. The problems like being scared of not having enough money will persist. On top of those problems the rich person also fears losing the money, of what people will think of them if they don’t continue being rich, of not being able to earn more and buy even nicer things. The emotions of fear and greed are still there even though money and abundance are present. That mental shift needs to happen.


Don’t Be The Donkey Chasing The Carrot


Robert Kiyosaki compares most peoples lives to a donkey chasing a carrot. People are so focused on chasing that next pay check they never take the time to step back and see where it is taking them. It’s just like the donkey chasing the carrot on a string in front of him. It is getting the rider where he wants to go, but the donkey is only chasing an illusion. If the donkey only knew what was going on he may reconsider chasing after that carrot and decide its not worth it. We need to do the same and take a step back.


‘Living our lives in fear, never getting to achieve our dreams, working hard for money, waking up in the middle of the night terrified about paying bills is no way to live.’ says Robert Kiyosaki. Realizing a job is only a temporary solution to money problems and learning to ‘use our emotions to think instead of think with your emotions’ is an important step to getting out of the trap. Continue asking yourself ‘is working harder really going to solve my financial problems?’ Once you realize it won’t solve your problems your conscience and sub-conscience mind will start looking for ways to solve this problem. Start researching wealthy people, what they do and how they do it. Ask questions, read books, listen to audios and go to seminars. Find out what the rich are doing and how you can emulate them instead of your carrot chasing co-workers.

A Few Easy Steps to Starting a Business Online

These days people everywhere are looking for ways to become their own boss. There are lots of ways to start successful businesses, but most people are looking to the power of the internet to start a business online for themselves. It can be confusing at first but here are some simple starter steps to get you on your way to earning money online from home or anywhere you are.


  • Starting a Website


This is of course the most important part of a business online. A website tells your customers about you and your product or services. It also offers the opportunity for your customers to buy from you. It used to be difficult to start a website but with sites like blogger, wordpress and many others it is easy to start a free simple website promoting yourself and your products. These sites can be used to start your business if you don’t have a lot of money right away. Make sure you put the name of your company or yourself in the blog title so people realize who they are learning about. It is important that you know who your target customers are so you can set up your site with the appropriate information and offers. Once your blog site is doing well for you, you can purchase a regular domain name and start a simple website of your own.


- Use Relevant Content


One of the most important things about your website is the content on it. You have to be sure that the information on it like videos, articles and the products being offered are relevant to what you are promoting to the traffic that finds your site. So, if you offer information on skin care secrets make sure the information on your site is specifically about that and very little else, like your other muffler sales business. Also, you want customers to return and refer others to your site. To make sure this happens you must place new content on your site regularly. There’s no faster way to kill a site than never having anything new on it.


  • Monetize Your Site


You are able to earn money from your site in ways other than just selling your product or service. By placing banner ads for other companies and affiliate partners you can earn commissions from sales through those companies.


  • Take the Time to Market Your Online Business


Promoting your blog or website correctly is important. You have to make sure the traffic that is coming to your site is ‘targeted traffic’. This means that they are specifically looking for your product or service. What good is getting a lot of people to your site if they don’t want what you have to offer! Learning what people are searching for online is a critical part of marketing your business. You need to know what words people are using when they do a search on google or yahoo for example. There are powerful ‘keyword tools’ out there that tell you exactly what people are searching for, what words they are using and how many people each month are searching with those specific terms.


  • Affiliate Marketing


This little tactic is great for starting to grow your online business. What better product to promote than one for an already successful online company or marketer. By starting an affiliate partnership you are able to place ads of theirs on your site or blog and promote their product also. When an ad on your site is clicked, the customer is redirected to a professional site that is optimized by a professional company to sell them a product. If the customer buys the product the affiliate site tracks which ad the sale came from and gives you a commission for sending the customer their way.


These are a few of the steps you can start implementing to create the beginnings of a successful online business. As time goes on, if you market well,  your site will continue to bring new ‘targeted traffic’ that wants what you have. You have just created leveraged time and money because your site is working for you 24/7 and always does exactly what you tell it to do.

What is Adwords - How to Place PPC Ads on Google

Pay per click advertising, also known as ppc, is a way to post ads on search engines like google or yahoo. When you want to advertise for your product or service you have the option of going to sites like google’s Adwords or Yahoo’s Overture and placing ‘sponsored listings’ that show up on google or yahoo when someone types in a search term. You also choose a price that you are willing to pay each time someone clicks on your ad and is sent to your website.


The Idea Behind PPC


When a potential customer enters a search term, also known as ‘key words’, in google or yahoo that matches the key words you chose to trigger you ad, your advertisement appears in the ‘sponsored’ list on the right side of the screen. If the person chooses to click on your ad they are redirected to your website and you pay a predetermined price for that click. The more people that click your ad the more traffic comes to your website with the intention of buying what you have to sell.


How Your Ad is Found


For your ad to show up on google or yahoo you have to choose the right ‘key words’, the words people are using to search for what you have to offer. For example, if you were selling mufflers you would choose key words like “buy cheap muffler”, “buy honda muffler” or “best priced ford muffler” depending on the kind of muffler your selling. You would link those key words to your ad which would in turn cause your ad to show up when someone does a search using those specific key words.


How to Find ‘Key Words’


You can find the kind of “key words” people are typing by using “key word tools” like the one provided by google adwords. All you do is type a search term you think people will use to find your product and the “key word tool” will provide a list of similar search terms people use and the amount of people using those terms. By choosing the “key words” people use the most and linking them to your ad you can have a general idea of how many people will see your ad. If you have written a eye catching ad a good amount of those people should click your ad and be directed to your website. Choosing the correct key words is essential for a successful PPC campaign.


How Your Ad is Ranked


There are a lot of different aspects involved in how your ad is ranked. First, and most obvious, is how much you are willing to pay for each time a potential customer clicks on your ad. The higher the bid is the higher your ad is placed on the page. It is also very important that your ad and key words are relevant to your landing page. For example, if your ad says your selling cameras but your landing page is selling cat food your ad will be ranked lower because the landing page doesn’t relate to your ad. Low relevance will also cause your cost per click to be higher if you want a good ranking. There are other factors that determine your ranking but these are two of the most important.


Warning About PPC Advertising


While pay per click advertising can bring massive amounts of traffic to your site you have to make sure the traffic is adding up to sales. A common problem newbies to ppc have is getting tons of traffic coming to their site that doesn’t convert to sales and having to pay large amounts of money for all the traffic that clicked on their ad. There are options in the ppc campaign set up that allow you to set a predetermined amount you are willing to pay per day. Once that amount is reached your ad will stop showing, thus preventing any more cost to you but also stopping the traffic flow to your site. So it is very important to be using specific key words that show the customer is already looking to buy so that your ad will convert your clicks to sales. Examples of this would be “buy a muffler”, “where to purchase a good muffler” and so on. The adwords key word tool will help you find the most relevant key words to use to bring targeted traffic to your site.


Since most people use search engines like google and yahoo to find products and services on the internet ppc is a very effective way to drive traffic to your site. For the best results make sure you write a good ad for your product, use the most specific relevant keywords for what you are selling and make sure the dollar amount you bid on a click is high enough to get you on the front page. If your ad is not producing the amount of traffic you desire then work on changing your ad, getting more keywords that have high traffic related to them and see what a ppc ad professional has to say about your campaign. The campaign you run will change as you progress and certain aspects will need to be changed as you move on but if you check the campaigns results on a regular basis you should be able to continue to run a successful ppc campaign.

Think and Grow Rich Insights - A Review of Napoleon Hills Book

Think and Grow Rich is a book that has been around for a while even though you probably hear about it often if you are into self improvement, especially financially. The book was written by Napoleon Hill, at the request of Andrew Carnegie, for the purpose of finding out what the core difference is between people that create wealth and people who never quite make it. What he found was really very simple. The people that created wealth changed the way they thought and what they specifically thought about to create a wealthy mindset. Thus, the name of the book, Think and Grow Rich.


What Exactly does Think and Grow Rich Mean?


A person becomes who he is around and what he thinks about. The more you are around negative people the more negative you will think. The more you are around people that are lazy the more you will tend to think and become lazy. This process is true for any kind of mindset whether it affects you physically, emotionally, in relationships or any part of your life. Without the right mindset you can never achieve financial abundance. You must believe you can achieve financial success and then start thinking the way successful people think. I know that sounds really fluffy and thats what I thought at first too, but its true. Since this is a really deep subject and can’t be explained in a few paragraphs I will offer you some helpful advice. First, find someone that is successful and follow what they are doing. Doesn’t it make sense, with what’s been said above, that if you hang around successful people that are creating wealth some of their mentality about success would become yours. Second, to start changing your beliefs and the way you think, read Think and Grow rich. I also highly recommend Anthony Robbins audio’s “Personal Power 2”. In the course Anthony really dissects the way people think and explains in detail how to “break your pattern” of current thought and change it to a more productive successful thought pattern by asking yourself specific questions that cause you to, surprise, think!


How Can I Change My Beliefs and Do I Have To?


As stated in the above paragraph, changing your beliefs can be an in depth process since most people don’t even realize that their beliefs and thoughts are what causes the situations they are in financially or otherwise. The way we think about money can be a deep seeded belief that having a lot of money is somehow wrong or evil or that the only way to get it is to be dishonest, which prevents many from pursuing a financially abundant life. Asking questions like ‘why haven’t I created any wealth and what can I do to start creating wealth’ will cause you to ‘think’, find new answers and change the way you approach your finances and other areas of your life. The great thing about it is that if you continue to ask the questions on a regular basis your brain will automatically come up with answers in your subconscious and will literally pull your physical actions towards success.


So, can you Think and Grow Rich? Absolutely! Your though pattern, even if you don’t realize it, is directing you down whatever path you are on right now, but can be changed to direct you down any path you desire. Your daily though process is the foundation of what you build your life to look like be it good or bad. So, put only positive successful thoughts in your mind, seek out a successful person to imitate and use the quality questions they use to start directing your life down the path you want.

Passport To Wealth Business Review - An Online Marketing Business?

Passport To Wealth has probably come across your computer screen if you have done any kind of research for home based businesses or online business opportunities. And since you have come across it you are probably wondering if Passport To Wealth can actually help you produce a significant income from home or if it is just another “just like every other internet business” you find online now. Is it really a “passport to wealth” or is it a passport to nowhere?


What is Passport To Wealth


Passport To Wealth is an internet based business, started by Darren Gaudry, that can be run from home or anywhere you choose really. The whole idea of the opportunity is that you can start a business that is automated and runs even if you are at work or on vacation. That is one of the advantages it has over many network marketing businesses. The products are electronic so can be downloaded in seconds or minutes and don’t have to be shipped. You don’t even have to know they are being ordered because the customer can find your product online and download it without even contacting you. Passport To Wealth says they have $75,000 in product available for customers to download, which is awesome. The problem with it is that anyone doing any kind of research on the product can find them many other places online and for cheaper sometimes. When you are researching a business on of the most important things about the product is that they are exclusive to the company you are considering partnering with. Not all the products need to be exclusive but at least some of them do so the customer has to come back to you for the product or can refer others to you specifically. So, in doing research about Passport To Wealth I found that the ebooks and software they offer for download, while good, are not exclusive and are already over marketed by many companies out there.


Compensation Plan


The pay plan must be so good then that people can look past the over marketed products, right? Well, lets take a look. Passport To Wealth uses a common compensation plan in network marketing called the “2 up” or “pass up” program. What this means is that after spending money to partner with the company and spending time and money on advertising for your new business, your first two sales of about $2000 goes directly to your sponsor. If that isn’t discouraging enough the next thing that happens is you “break away” from your sponsor and begin earning the sales for yourself. The biggest problem with this is that your sponsor has NO financial interest in helping you succeed after the “break away”. This causes no team work with your upline and will eventually create no team work or synergy with your downline, everyone is in competition with each other. Part of long term success is continued team work, and the “2 up” compensation plan definitely does not promote this.


The Conclusion


The conclusion is that Passport To Wealth is not a scam or pyramid. They have legitimate products to move to the consumer, even if they are over marketed. They also do teach some valuable skills in online marketing and automation, but there are programs out there for the same price that have more in depth training to offer with much more synergistic compensation plans that promote team work. Experienced marketers may find success with this program but will always be stuck finding and training new partners that then break away and are stuck finding and training more new partners in a never ending cycle. For this reason I chose not to get involved with Passport To Wealth and found other companies that promote team effort and success.

Market America Unfranchise Business - Compensation Plan Review

This article will give a quick overview of Market America, but will concentrate on some of the specifics of the compensation plan. Market America calls its business opportunity the “Unfranchise”. Why? Because Market America offers the solid benefits of a franchise like training and systemized methods but doesn’t have the traditional headaches like huge overhead and start-up cost, insurance, employees and many other aspects involved with franchising. Market America is a product brokerage company that prides itself on one-to-one marketing and mass customization. The company headquarters is located Greensboro, North Carolina and was started by James Ridinger formerly a rep for Amway.


The Products


As mentioned before Market America is a product brokerage company which means they don’t actually produce any products but instead survey customers, find out what they want and then find a manufacture to produce the desired product. This allows Market America to carry only products that are selling well for their reps and can drop poorly performing products, keeping the company much less vulnerable to market swings. The manufacturer then researches and produces the product while Market America concentrates on bringing the product to the consumer through its network of independent distributors also known as an “Unfranchise Owners”. There are currently hundreds of products in the “mall without walls” from unique nutrition products, skin care and make-up, weight-loss products, an anti-aging hormonal line and many more. On top of their exclusive product lines they also have thousands of affiliate partners that allow the “Unfranchise Owners” preferred  customers to shop and buy online through a web portal. Familiar names like Wal-mart, Target, Best Buy and many more are stores that allow the reps to get paid when their customers shop online.  For more information on Market America’s products check out http://www.marketamerica.com/deigenfeld


The Business Structure and Payout 


Market America has what they call a binomial compensation plan. Here are some of the specifics of the pay plan. Each rep or “Unfranchise Owner” retails product to preferred customers and recruits other reps to do the same. The benefit of this is of course leveraged time and financial gain. An Unfranchise Owner begins by purchasing 200BV of product to “qualify” their business center and remains on a 50BV-150BV “transfer buy” per month. This is product the rep can purchase for personal use or to sell to customers. BV is a point value assigned to each product that is used to determine when commission checks will be earned.(Average BV is 80% per dollar of the product, so $100 would be 80 BV). After that the rep must recruit two people and place on on the left side and one on the right side. This “activates” the business center and the “Unfranchise Owner” can begin receiving commission checks. As your business organization grows and more reps are selling to preferred customers and recruiting new “Unfranchise Owners”, the amount of BV accumulated on each side results in commissions being paid out.

Here is a little more detail about how the compensation works. To “qualify” your unfranchise business center you must, as stated above, purchase 200-300 BV in product to use personally and to sell to customers. This initial purchase is going to cost an average of $400-$1000. There is included financial leverage benefits for “qualifying” with 300BV or more instead of only 200BV because the unfranchise owner can start with 3 business centers instead of only one. Once “qualified” you must remain on a monthly “transfer buy” purchase of 50-150BV, depending on how far along you are in the  compensation, plan which equates to $100-$300. Again, this is product for your personal use and for selling to your customers so you should be selling a lot of the product to make a profit every month.


Now that you are “qualified” your next goal is to get “activated”. This is done by “qualifying” a rep on your left side and one on your right. To do this your sponsor will teach you how to introduce the product and business to people you know that may be interested in starting a business of their own. When you “activate” your business center with your two reps you are able to collect commission checks based upon the amount of BV produced in both legs.


This is an example of how the residual compensation plan works and how you are going to be paid. Once “active”, each leg begins accumulating BV. Once the BV in each leg reaches 1200 a $300 check is released to you. This goes on to accumulating 2400BV in each leg and another $300 check being released. Then, 3600BV in each leg for another $300 check. The last stage is 5000BV in each leg for a $600 check. So, the total pay out for accumulating a 5000BV cycle in each leg is $1500. The cycle then resets to zero on each side and is done again. This process of course starts out slow as you begin the business, but begins to speed up as new reps come into your organization and they begin selling to their customers. This process continues to speed up until you go through the entire 5000BV cycle in one week meaning you earn $1500/week or $78,000/yr. There are also weekly bonuses for helping people in your organization succeed which can bring your yearly income to $109,000. You can open as many centers as you want meaning once you max out one centers earning potential another can be opened and begin earning commissions.


In Conclusion...


The Market America “Unfranchise” is not a scam. It is a legitimate business opportunity that provides a large selection of market driven products for the rep to choose from for selling. But, like any other business, networking or not, it takes serious commitment, continuous action and learning new things that you may not be familiar with when it comes to starting a new business. It also takes time to build the system and is not a get rich quick scheme, but can provide significant income over a 2-3 year period if you focus on following their systemized business plan. Market America may or may not be right for you from a business stand point but either way I would encourage looking at their quality products they offer at http://www.marketamerica.com/deigenfeld .
