My Harvest America - Is Anyone Harvesting Incomes From My Harvest America?

My Harvest America has just entered the scene of Network Marketing in December of 2009. Founders Ron Ellis and Fred Weih have brought online grocery stores to the internet. They allow you to do your normal shopping in the center aisles of your grocery stores at discounted prices, and free shipping.The Good: It is funny when you think about online groceries as being a business that someone can form a business around, but the reason it is exploding as it is, because it is an easy subject to talk about. Fred's vision was that one day grocery shopping would be easier and cost less. Now I will say, that what Fred's vision was, and how it came to be may not have been in his first thought of how to do it. But here is why, Fred, could become more famous than Sam Walton in my mind. What is the top two cost factors of any business? They are facilities and people. This is where in my mind, it makes sense. What costs more, one facility or hundreds. Well the advantage of hundreds is that it is everywhere and anyone can go there any time. This drives the costs up. When you have it where one location can meet the needs of customers anytime, and one location then this drives significant costs out of the business, and he is passing it on to you. Ron Ellis was introduced to Fred and Ron was ready to start his own network marketing company and he made the two worlds meet. One area that is nice about this is that they pay the shipping of the groceries to your door by FedEx ground..The Bad: If you need groceries now, you have to resort to your local grocer. As I said in the beginning, they are new, so they are going through a lot of bumps in the area of customer support. They have limited products and they are working to add to them. Also, as I said earlier, it is the center aisle, so you can not get bread, milk, veggies, fruits or meats. When you have a lot of groceries, sometimes the boxes are heavy and if FedEx leaves them at your door, it is hard to carry them in. When they started, the grocery delays were about 18 days, but that is suppose to be improving now, because they took on more responsibility and did not outsource it. This also impacts the unemployment numbers, because if you only ship from one location, the more this becomes popular, local grocers may have to cut back on staff. This is only a United States company for now, but people who live close to the boarders, have found ways to get delivery to a US address and take them international. Customer support is all done via emails, and no way to call to get customer support. Until you join, you can not browse the items you shop for, but they have provided a video of the shopping. Some loyalty shoppers are showing people the prices so you can make a wise decision. The cost is $39.95 per month to get 20-70% off your groceries.In Conclusion:For those that are concerned about the concept, it is not totally new. There have been other companies that do the groceries, and they do the delivery from local stores. Although they did not cut the fat as much as My Harvest America, it was done. It is your choice, can it supplement what you do, yes! You can place orders on a regular basis, and that can speed up the appearance of the delayed deliveries. Out of the center aisles of your shopping, how much do you spend? If you can justify the $39.95 per month, and you save more, then great. The company is not totally transparent, so you do not know how financially strong or weak they are. You are only paid $11 per customer shopping or $1 per loyalty customer in most cases, so do not plan to walk away from your job too fast, but the good news is, if a customer justifies the expense, it definitely sets you up for the residuals.If you are building this as a business, then you need to learn how to really market the business. There are a couple small pockets but most tell you talk to those you know. Just like most networking businesses, training is weak at best, and you will want to seek out assistance of someone who can help you build this fast.

How MLM & 7 Figure Top Tier Online Marketers Turn Their List Into Cash - Part 4 of 4

Other than what was discussed in part 3, what can you do to monetize it?If you have a list of at least 40 leads, host a webinar for them. Send a broadcast invitation and use ad copy to reel them in. If you have never given a webinar, just make sure you know your subject well and anticipate something bad happening. Technical difficulties or something that you can't really control with will happen, just be prepared to keep your cool.If you are more of a seasoned marketer, you may want to email your list asking what their interests are in the business. This way you can give them a webinar on exactly what they want.In the email, you could even include a payment button. Charging them $10-$15 for the webinar and make sure they know it is 100% guaranteed. Do the webinar via go to webinar dotcom. The first 30 days is free, the following is $100 a month. Ask your network of marketers to share the account with you to help with costs.After completing the webinar, always have a back end product that you can make affiliate commissions with. For example, if you give a webinar about how to be viewed as an authority figure, what mindset to have, you could tell them you have a book you recommend and if they are interested to shoot you an email. When you respond, include your affiliate link for them to purchase through.An affiliate link doesn't have to appear to be affiliate, so don't feel like you're overstepping your boundaries. Also, even if they did know you made a commission on it, they probably wouldn't care if you had already given them value via the webinar. If they didn't know about the resource to begin with, how else would they have known to get the book, CD or DVD to assist them in their marketing?The webinar is a definite way to show you are an authority figure, a leader, someone to go to for information. This is a great way to build a team.

Should the Lights Be Turned Out on Partylite?

Partylite was founded on a principles and desire of one woman, Mabel Baker. She had a candle business and wanted to share the candles around the world. In 1965, she died and her legacy would live on. In 1973, her dream would live on in the form of Partylite. In 1990, Blyth acquired Partylite.The Good This is one of the few network marketing companies in the candle business, so competition is small in the industry, but often you are going to compete up with the retail market. The nice part about Partylite, is that they have more products like flameless scents, home decor, bath and body products. Top money earners in this company are abandoning the parties and truly marketing it through online marketing.The Bad One area that I challenge people with is. this is not a home based business, you are generally chasing people to have parties, and for them to become consultants for future parties. They focus on the burning candle parties, but this will prevent your business from expanding, because you need to train and support your people, so it keeps them in more of a tight net. Another issue, as I see it, is the economic position of this business. Now, their model revolves around friend telling friends. The only way the host benefits is they get free product if people sign up to host another party, the host signs up to be a distributor, or you sell out everyone you know and give all those names to the consultant in your home. If someone can go get candles, why would they want to pay inflated prices? This issue just burns me. The problem is that most people in Partylite do not know how to market like the top money earners, and they do not show others how to do it. They have learned marketing techniques or they had marketing backgrounds. A lot have not learned the techniques to use technology.Conclusion If you love candles, you need to market to a core group of prospects. No, you do not want to bug your friends and family. Yes, the market is wide open through this channel, but convince people to spend a little more and deliver value over the cheap supermarket candles and air fresheners. But remember, you will not see the rewards unless you are getting the proper training to market on the net and social medias, and you do not want to have to work at other peoples homes and put on parties.

Are There Any Legitimate Home Based Businesses?

Is there actually any Legitimate Home Based Businesses? Have you ever wondered that after searching the internet for hours and hours and only coming up with all these programs that want your money then turn out to be a scam? Well let me tell you, you are not the only one there are hundred and thousands of people going through the same thing, and it all ends in frustration, but you're still not ready to give up because you know there has to be something that works.With the times the way they are more and more people look into making money online or run a Home Based Business, well the good news is it actually is possible people do it every day. Starting a home based business is actually fairly easy and not to costly. Now should you have to pay someone to work for them? No I don't think you should have to, should you invest some money in starting your own business? There will be no way around that but at least you be investing in your own future not anybody else's.The first step you need to make is deceit on what it is that you want to do, do you want to sell a product or do you want to sell a service. How many hours are you willing to put in, what kind of return to you expect to get. Now start thinking about what are you good at, what are your interests do you have a certain passion that you could turn into a business, like for instance if you have a background in bookkeeping you could start a Virtual Assistant Business or if you like working with the computers you can get into Desktop publishing or website development, do you have a creative side think about getting into handmade jewelry or gift baskets. I think you get my point.Don't give up hope just yet just because you have come across a few scam's, that don't mean there is nothing out there you just have to look at different things and expand you search in a different way, but if you are tiered of the nine to five job don't keep wasting your time by searching, there is no time like the present to start your own Home Based Business.

Choosing the Right Network Marketing Company (Part 1 of 4)

The process of choosing the best network marketing company can be a daunting one, still if you keep the fundamentals a priority it actually becomes quite simple. What do I mean by fundamentals? The first that I will cover in this article may seem very basic but is without a doubt the most important that one should look at when deciding to build your business.The financial commitment AND capabilities behind the founders of your company are crucial when deciding to get involved. Do they have the capital to see the vision into reality? Most firms start with some seed money, develop a product, recruit some industry "vets" and hope for the best. Having a substantial financial commitment from the founders and even external investors is extremely important. The vast number of problems that can arise from starting and trying to grow a new company that leverages network marketing for distribution can end a venture virtually overnight. A strong commitment from the leaders and owners to see the company through to success is not enough. The money to go the distance needs to be there.First question you should ask yourself is do I have the answers on where, how and how much capital has gone to fund my mlm company. Have the owners self funded? Is the capital leveraged in way that can put long intermediate and long term growth at risk? Is the capital leveraged in a way that in going to force "corporate" to push growth too fast? Are there outside investors that may not see the true vision of the founders or distributors.These questions need to be asked and if your company is unwilling to answer them, that should signal a red flag. In the day and age we live in transparency is a term that get's thrown around a lot but few firms have yet to truly embrace it as a culture. Capital isn't everything but it will kill a start-up MLM really quick even if the product and people are great.Part 2 coming soon...

The Hard Truth on Genesis PURE

Genesis PURE is a new network marketing company that was created to offer the very best nutritional products in the world. The company claims that they will revolutionize the nutritional MLM industry through their system of "Cleanse, Balance, Build", their compensation plan, and the strength of their corporate officers. They pay out 55% commissions and offer up front earning potential through first order bonuses and retail sales designed to make distributors profitable quickly and pair that with a residual plan that will pay consistently over time (provided you can build up a network of distributors and customers.)All that is fine and good until you get to the truth on why they exist and why they chose the MLM business model. Almost EVERY network marketing company exists so that people can make money (distributors and owners.) MLM Companies try to spin in a million different ways. Each company has some great and noble reason for existing, just read Genesis PURE's website and you'll see what I mean, but in reality, network marketing is a very inexpensive method of distributing products with no advertising costs and no need to pay a sales force. For someone on the outside looking in this may be a little shocking. Even some seasoned network marketers may be a little taken aback by this, but it's the truth and it's NOT a bad thing.It's good for both the Genesis PURE and the distributors. The company saves a substantial amount of money and keeps its overhead low and distributors are able to set up a business with very low start up costs, no product research and development have an opportunity to earn a substantial income. The fact is that less than 3% of the people in this business will ever take the time to learn the skills and techniques to market themselves effectively. People need to learn how to market and promote themselves FIRST... Once you learn to do that, you will always be able to earn an income in this industry regardless of what company they are involved with.Genesis PURE reps will tell you that anyone can succeed with this company and building a huge sales organization will be easy because of how great an opportunity it is and how wonderful the products are. However, if you don't know how to put in front of right people... then you will never make any money with it. Follow the instructions below for more information on how to get your company in front of the right people on autopilot.
