Foundation 4Life Donates $15,000



Salt Lake City, Utah - 4Life executives recently announced its annual $15,000 USD donation to the Rentería Baseball Academy in Barranquilla, Colombia.

The Rentería Baseball Academy was founded by Team 4Life member Edgar Rentería to teach children leadership skills through the activity of baseball. This long-term partnership between Foundation 4Life and the Academy provides non-profit program funding to educate kids on social risks in their community and ensure a positive and rewarding sporting environment for personal growth and self-esteem.

The donation was presented by Vice President, International Rich Decker and Colombia General Manager Nao Lau. It was accepted by Edgar’s brother and Academy President, Edinson Rentería.

Lau: “By engaging kids with baseball, we’re more likely to keep them off the streets. The program is designed to focus on the pursuit of maximizing individual talent within a team setting.”

Rich Decker: “It’s a pleasure to return to Colombia to support the success of the boys in Barranquilla who are lucky enough to train at the Rentería Baseball Academy.

Cinsay Launches Snap Marketing to Provide MLM Direct Marketing Distributors with Video Commerce Technology

Cinsay launches turnkey transactional social media video solution, Snap Marketing. Specifically designed to enable any US or internationally based MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) Direct Marketing company, representatives and independent sellers with a simple to use tool for lead acquisition, selling products, services and expanding down lines through sharable social media video commerce, training and marketing packages.

Austin, TX, - Cinsay, the leader in video commerce, has recently launched Snap Marketing to enable MLM representatives and direct marketers with a complete turnkey marketing and sales solution for their businesses. Leveraging Cinsay’s multipatented technology, the new initiative will target the growing MLM, IBO (Independent Business Owner) and Direct Selling business models. Cinsay has already seen early success with the launch of its promotional video commerce and lead generation video player for direct selling organizations like Jeunesse Global and there is a tremendous, untapped opportunity within the industry for its unique video and social commerce transactional technology.
Individual distributors from Avon to Mona Vie as well as large MLM companies alike are benefiting from Cinsay’s interactive video technology for direct marketing. Ricky Haggerty, a college student in Tyler, Texas, has his own successful direct sales business with Organo Gold and promotes it with a Cinsay video store.
Haggerty said, “The individuals at Cinsay are amazing. I have been pretty much coached on how to build a solid online presence with my business. I’m looking forward to an amazing journey with Cinsay.”
Direct sellers from dozens of other companies are also using Cinsay’s video store to acquire leads, sell more products and services all while growing their down-line business without ever having to leave their home or office.
Verner Dixon, an executive previously with IBM and Gartner, now an associate with Jeunesse Global said, “This is actually a game changer for the MLM, Direct Sales industry as far as I’m concerned. I now have the ability to promote my products using professional videos and presentations and my prospects and customers can purchase my offerings before, during or after the presentation – this is awesome!”
The global market for direct selling continues to grow with sales in the U.S. alone up 3.3% in to over $32.67B (according to the Direct Selling Association). This growth will most likely continue as people seek new and creative ways to diversify their incomes and save for long-range goals. According to one Forbes business contributor, Robert Laura stated, “I believe that the entire industry is poised for explosive growth and can be one of the most significant solutions to America’s current retirement savings crisis.”
Reaching people around the block and around the globe:
As the Internet and various social media sites have become ubiquitous to everyday life, coupling direct selling opportunities with unique and compelling technologies can create a ‘game changing’ moment for the industry. Cinsay’s multipatented technology is positioned to do just that. The solution takes full advantage of video, social media and mobile with the release of its latest Snap Marketing for MLM solutions.
“Video continues to have the fastest growth of anything else online and it consistently creates higher conversions for commerce, leads and other transactions than any other form of content,” said Christian Briggs, Founder and CEO for Cinsay. “Couple that with the global explosion of social sharing, and continued growth in the direct marketing industry and you have a revolution underway for the way we do business. This is the perfect tool for any direct marketing and MLM business.”
With over 16 million people tied to over 300 different direct selling organizations in the U.S. alone, the potential for Cinsay’s technology is enormous. Person-to-person selling has been the highest form of engagement representing 70% of business building. Parties and meetings make up 23% of the sales method. However, online marketing is quickly catching on using social media like Google Hangouts, Facebook, Snapchat and proprietary sites owned and operated by individual direct marketing companies. Cinsay’s video player has built-in sharing abilities with international social sites like China’s Ren Ren, WeChat, Tencent and additional social sites in Russia, Asia and South America while working on any device from computers to smartphones.
For most direct marketers from Amway to Herbalife, independent sales reps can select from existing professionally produced videos or upload their own into the Cinsay video player, then simply populate it with products, and links to social media and a unique lead generation box, and they are ready to start marketing their business from websites, social sites, email and SMS texts. Cinsay’s video platform is easy to set up, use and update. Wherever their video is shared, the entire interactive business package goes with it. Many reps purchase additional marketing packages through Cinsay’s Snap Marketing, which allows them to specifically target viewers by age, gender, location, interests and passions.
Cinsay’s extensive analytics provides valuable viewer data to help sales reps fully optimize their marketing efforts. Metrics include, views, demographics, shares, age, gender, purchases, and other transactions. Analyzing each of these categories allows the business owner to better focus on potential consumers, lower their marketing costs and increase views to their individual online videos.
Briggs added, “For marketers seeking new business opportunities around the block or around the world, there is simply no other marketing tool that drives the potential to succeed. Cinsay’s technology and our proven Snap Marketing packages, can potentially elevate conversions for new business opportunities and can drive down the costs of marketing to as little as a dollar for each lead. That’s unmatched anywhere.”

Making a living from multi-level marketing



Some Nigerians are earning a living  from  multi-level marketing. One of them is Abiodun Mustapha. Daniel Essiet reports.

Abiodun Mustapha is a wealth empowerment consultant. It was in his quest for financial freedom that he came  about multi-level marketing (MLM).

An Islamic  and Integrated  Science  teacher, the  graduate of Federal College  of Education (FEC), Akoka, Lagos was not fulfilled.

This is because at the end of every month, his take-home pay could not take care of the needs.

He thought of a way out. He recalled that at college, he was introduced to network marketing.  Then, he began with  selling GNLD products. He finally pitched his tent with Trévo, where he claimed, he made over N160 million in less than four years.

Future’s sweet if you follow a plan

5:20 AM Posted by Unknown , No comments


QUESTION: I’m a 27-year-old, second-year apprentice chef, and recently moved back in with my parents following a breakup. It’s not the best situation but I’m trying to make it work and I see this as a good opportunity to drill down on some debts I’ve accumulated. I owe a little over $6000 on a credit card and personal loan and $15,000 on a car loan. I know that’s not good. But what are the best steps I can take to set myself up for the future and make sure I enter my 30s on the right path?

Kara

ANSWER: It totally sucks to be you right now. Make no mistake, while you’re living under your oldies roof, you’ll have to play by their rules. If they’re not charging you rent or board, they’re effectively giving you money, and that almost always comes with an (emotional) catch.

So, here’s how to make it suck a little less: Put on your big girl pants, sit down with your parents and show them your financial plan.

Here’s a sample one:

First, agree to pay them some form of board (it could be preparing them meals, it might be doing cleaning, it may well be cold hard cash). Whatever it is, it’s important to set the boundaries of what is expected from the get-go.

Second, save $2000 in a high-interest online savings account.

Third, if you have access to public transport, talk to your lender about selling your car and paying down as much of your loan as you can.

Fourth, devote 70 per cent of your after-tax income to paying down your debts.

And, finally, give your parents a definite time as to when you’ll leave the nest — for good.

Trina Mullins Finds Home & Success With Trévo



In 2010, Trina Mullins was working in an office, answering to other people, and never feeling like she had enough time to see her five children. The “corporate rat race”, as she puts it, was weighing heavily on her as she found herself constantly stressed out and worried about her family’s financial future. She also faced daily health issues, including a severe case of asthma that she’d suffered from her whole life.

“I’d just lost hope of really living life to its fullest,” Mullins says. “But I always knew in my heart there had to be a better way, something more out there.”

When Trina was first introduced to Trévo that year, she saw the nutritional supplement as a way for her to take back control of her health. But she had no idea that it would be the “better way” she daydreamed about – the thing that allowed her to break free from the corporate world and reach levels of success she never imagined.

Dubli Has Paid $1 Million Sign Up Bonus For A Top Leader

10:06 PM Posted by Unknown , , No comments


According to well informed sources, Dubli has paid $1 million sign up bonus in cash or shares for a top leader.

It brings up the insider discussion whether or not this is ethical, as team members of that paid leader will most likely not get the same deal.

Kevin Thompson, the MLM attorney stated on his Facebook page:

"I have been dancing around this issue for 4 months. I felt like openly talking about it would somehow get me into trouble for ruining a fun party.

But enough is enough, and here's the truth: the practice of providing people with extra incentives ON TOP OF THE PAY PLAN without disclosure…it's fraud.

And it needs to stop. It's created a recruiting frenzy devoid of honor.

As it turns out, the majority of network marketing companies refuse to cut these sorts of deals".

Of the many strategies to get ahead financially in 2015, one surefire approach is to make more money. You might be thinking that’s easier said than done. But it isn’t as hard as it might seem, considering the multitude of cash-generating opportunities.

In fact, here are five great ways to put more money in your wallet this year.

Ask for a raise. If you’re an employee, the obvious way to earn extra cash is to ask for it – if you deserve it, that is.

Got something to say? Start the conversation and be the first to comment.

Buffett always brings along a built-in celebration, but this year will specifically be marking the 40th anniversary of the career-defining success of his landmark "A-1-A" album. That release featured signature songs such as "A Pirate Looks at Forty" and "Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season."

In more recent years, Buffett has found his way into a corner of the country music realm, with his hit collaboration with Alan Jackson on "It's 5 O'clock Somewhere" and a cover of Hank Williams' "Hey, Good Lookin'" with Jackson and George Strait.

MLM and Direct Sales: What to expect in 2015 of Network Marketing Market?

9:15 PM Posted by Unknown , , , No comments
We started the year 2015 with large and positive outlook on the future of MLM and direct sales in Brazil and worldwide.

We formulate our theory, based on the behavior of the best known companies and that were released in the last quarter of 2014.

The behavior of the largest companies and new, following a technical standard, which aims primarily meet standards created from blocks of Telexfree BBOM and powerful, as it would be different, because there is no specific law on the subject.

Primerica; Bad Company, Compelling Stock

Summary


  • Primerica is not like other financial and insurance companies.
  • At its heart, it is a deceptive MLM.
  • Despite its flawed business model, Primerica could represent a value play.

When reading Primerica's (NYSE:PRI) annual statements and presentations, investors are told that Primerica is a leading insurance and financial services company. In reality it is nothing more than a multi-level marketing company that sells term insurance and some investment products through various partners. Making the distinction between a financial company and a MLM is key to understanding the Primerica business model. While Primerica's shares have done well since the 2010 IPO, the business has stalled for years. EPS growth is almost entirely reliant on the share buyback. Regulatory issues in the Canadian business and low exposure to increasing interest rates will have long negative effects on the business. Short term, however, recruitment trends and proper capital deployment will positively grow EPS.
