MLM business programs nowadays are touted as the SLOW road to Wealth Creation. What I mean here is, the Internet has killed the MLM business opportunity. There is no loyalty within MLM distributor teams anymore, everyone wants to make a quick buck and as soon as a new MLM program is launched, groups of distributors jump ship and move to the new MLM opportunity.
Therefore, "why promote a MLM business opportunity, why prospect, do in home parties, cold call, talk to family and friends, attend conferences or even waste your hard earned money advertising on the internet, when in two months time, a new MLM rival business has launched and your so-called loyal distributor base decides to jump across to that new MLM player".
MLM is old hat and Generate Instant Cash (aka GIC) is now the New Sizzling Hot online business opportunity!
GIC is an exciting new online business concept and many folk are abandoning their MLM home based businesses, to learn online Internet affiliate marketing, in the hope of making a lucrative instant cash profit from their home base. Working from home, around the family, is the desire of many and driving around in the car prospecting and doing in-home presentations is no longer a desirable home based business opportunity.
There are currently several GIC online business opportunities available to home based business entrepreneurs. Those businesses are EDC Gold, Passport to Wealth, Wealth Magnet, Roadmap to Riches and the Perfect Wealth Formula. These businesses are called high end opportunities and they are not cheap to purchase into.
The difference between GIC online businesses, and traditional product based MLM's, is that the GIC online business requires a one-time payment purchase and thereafter, the only out of pocket cost is for company web hosting, usually costing around US$15 - $49 a month.
Programs like EDC Gold and Passport to Wealth, promote software and eBook bundles, which can be purchased for $997. Unfortunately, the only downfall of these two opportunities is that the software and eBook bundles, the distributors sell for profit, are available from many other online websites.
Cost of entry, to Passport to Wealth and EDC Gold, is a one time payment of $997 plus ongoing monthly company web hosting. Distributors with these companies are required to pass up their first two sales, called qualifying sales, of $997 to their sponsor before they are qualified to earn 100% commission of $997 per sale.
Online business opportunities such as Wealth Magnet and the Perfect Wealth Formula are the latest online programs to launch this year. The concept behind these two online teaching opportunities, is that to make money online, with any product from tooth brushes to coloured contact lenses, you must have a solid educated background in marketing and advertising.
Just to highlight one of the two opportunities above. The Perfect Wealth Formula, teaches free and paid advertising methods, which you can apply to any online business or product, to drive quality targetted traffic, therefore turning clicks into product sales and profit to your bank account. To purchase the PWF marketing and teaching program, the beginners entry level is $697 or for the advanced marketers teaching package, the price is $1697.
The Perfect Wealth Formula offers a lucrative affiliate program and is a zero-up compensation plan. This means you will never have to hand up your first two qualifying sales to your sponsor.
So my question to you is, if you have decided that the traditional MLM home based businesses just doesn't cut it for you anymore, you wouldn't be alone. I do stress however, if you are a long time MLM promoter, who has built their MLM businesses in the traditional off-line manner, then any of the above programs will require a serious learning curve on your part. If you are the type of entrepreneur who doesn't mind a challenge then online affiliate marketing can be a lucrative alternative to traditional MLM and a 100% online business activity.
Forget flowers, the next big thing in living memorials for the dearly departed may just be a weatherproof, high tech digital scrapbook, powered by a solar cell. This product, known as the Serenity panel, developed by Vidstone LLC, is sold by Riverview Monuments of Wausau, Wisconsin and retails for approximately $2,000.
As with most technological innovations, word of the product is spreading slowly.
Doug Ellis of Riverview Monuments told CNN in a recent interview, that he hasnt sold any adding that many customers tell him that it is not there style. He believes that the Wausau area is a little more conservative and that it will take time for expansion.
The panel, according to CNN, amounts to the front of the gravestone, and pays tribute to the deceased in color pictures, words, music, and even videos, all courtesy of a small memory chip in front of the device; technology developed two years ago by Vidstone LLC, a company with offices in Florida and Colorado.
According to Vidstones national sales director in Aurora, Colorado, the company has approximately 100 dealers across the country; two in Minnesota, four in Illinois, and seven in Michigan, and one in Wisconsin.
They dont release sales figures, Lucking told CNN. Tho he confirmed its not a huge number at the moment.
Maria Schlitzbeger, of Schliztberger and Daughters Monument Co. in Houston, said that her company has sold one Serenity panel in a year.
Its a big step, putting electronics on your headstone, she explained to CNN. People are used to sandblasted granite and marble.
According to Lucking, although a digital video scrapbook on a tombstone may sound a little strange to most people, it can be compared to the advent of the cell phone, when only a few owned them and the rest swore that they never would.
Most funeral homes now use LCD screens to do multimedia presentations during services. Since five or six years ago video tributes have increased.
The screen, powered by the sun, includes headphone jacks for private audio listening.
Ellis thought it was a neat thing to bring into the industry. Something unique, something a little above and beyond just the standard engraving and pictures that end up on a monument at the current time.
He saw no reason why someone couldnt stand in front of a video camera and give a message to there grandchildren. Is this the next step in a future of mp3s and ever expanding leaps in technology or is this product to soon and will get lost in the technology bag, only time will tell.
