Amway products and Quixtar products are basically identical. Offerings include nutritional supplements, cosmetics, beauty aids and even appliances available through a friend without the need to enter a store.

I have to say I’ve always been a little bit shy, so the idea of getting into any kind of MLM seemed overwhelming. To make things worse, I’ve been burned in the past with a few online money making schemes that didn’t really do what they said they’d do. But, since I didn’t have a lot of prospects, I decided I’d go ahead and give MLM Lead System Pro a go. I’d looked at a lot of different options for building an MLM mailing list that will spare me the hassle of calling a ton of people, and MLM Lead System Pro had a few things I really liked.

First, it worked with a video landing page. This worked pretty well as a concept for me, because instead of trying to juggle a ton of work without the time, I just had to set up a video page once. From what I have learned, video squeeze pages are one of the best ways to help build an MLM list. The program pretty much gave me what I needed to get a page up and running, and it definitely seemed like it would work for helping me build my MLM list. Read the rest of this entry

Many things transform a house into a home. The smell of homing cooking. Game night, crowding on the couch and watching a movie as a family. However, ambience also includes aroma and that’s where Scentsy comes in.

The idea for the wickless candle company came to Kara Egan and her sister-in-law Colette Gunnell in Meridian, Idaho, inspired by an episode of an Oprah Winfrey episode. The two women took their product to a Salt Lake City trade show where entrepreneurs Orville and Heidi Thompson became intrigued.

The concept is simple: a warming plate sits on top of a decorative holder with a low watt bulb. A scented bar of wax is placed on the plate and whatever room the “candle’ is resting in is soon filled with one of 80 aromas. Flavors include standards such as lavender, vanilla and cinnamon as well as more complex emanations like banana nut bread. Read the rest of this entry

This is exactly what Silpada Designs co-founders Bonnie Kelly and Teresa Walsh realized when they met at their children’s school. The immediately became the best of friends and began brainstorming ways to make extra cash.

They began designing jewelry and hosting parties at friends’ houses. Soon, some of the partygoers saw how much fun the two were having and wanted in on the action. In 1997, Bonnie and Teresa created an exclusive line of jewelry and a catalog and invited friends and customers to share the wealth.

Anyone familiar with MLM businesses knows that the true way to riches is recruitment. Merely acting as a salesman can be fun as a hobby but without having others working below you, that’s about as far as it will go.

Trouble is, convincing others that the business is right for them is a tremendous hurdle, especially when using the web. With “Nigerian bankers” and other Internet scam artists filling inboxes with spam, it is nearly impossible to cold email without looking like just another scheme.

Black Belt Recruiting is a system that can help an MLM associate conquer these hurdles and turn a part time venture into a full-blown career. Read the rest of this entry
