Hi,
I saw a question on the site that asked if my powermall was a legitimate business. I have scrutinized it from A to Z so far and have placed orders on it. I have found the processing and shipping of my orders was fast and the cost was better than shopping at some of our discount stores so far. There is no monthly hosting fee, it is a free business, I have not gotten slammed with hidden costs, I am just totally excited about this business. The only downfall so far is it will take time to start making money and you do have to market it, but that is with any home business. But so far everything has been honest and true to what was explained in the presentation. There is virtually anything available you want to shop for. The stores are credible. Names we all know and trust. It is getting ready to be advertised on CNN.com, and USAtoday.com, it will soon have recognition which I think is one of the problems so far. If more people hear about it, it will explode. When the money starts rolling in, it is explained that it will just continue from there. But in the beginning it has been slow. There have been some glitches with the program but what I have seen is they are working out everything. The tool bar did not work for me but not much does work with Vista in my opinion, but they are working to correct that also. But you can just work out of your back office like I am doing. So far I have not found one thing wrong with this business, and like we are all looking for something to make money, it is free and will not rob you. Unless you want to spend on marketing, but don't have to they give OMG, tools for free to do that also. If anyone has a complaint you can forward it to me, but, I am sooooo impressed to date. And I have searched many of them for years. I am disabled and looking to get a job I can do from home and be a working person again. My wonderful husband is overseeing me to help and get me doing this. I think this is an answer to many years of Prayer. Thanks for reading my post. Take care and God Bless.

Hi Opt In,
A few things.
I am impressed with MPM as well.
Try not to bring up where MPM may appear as far as television goes. I've heard many claims yet none have passed. Let us know once you have actually seen it on T.V.
Why would anyone "forward a complaint" to you?
Who are you and what is your exact connection with MPM?
Last, please make an effort to break up your posts into several small paragraphs. It was a real drag of a chore to wade through a single enormous paragraph of solid text, thanx.
Welcome to the forum.
How many do you have on your front line and total down line? How much are you getting paid each month? Since you are new to the forum, I'd like to know why we should listen to you since you came on so strong on your second post in this forum.
Thanx,
~Newbie Shield~

Hey opt in,

Welcome to the forum Opt N. I too am a member of MPM and share your enthusiasm for its potential. It is great to get in on the ground floor because like you said the future is very bright. I've looked into many online opportunities and have even tried a few but MPM is definitely the best I've come across.

Newbie Shield,
The advertising Opt N is referring to is on the cnn.com and usatoday.com websites not on television.

Hi SeeYaLater,
Hey, that's great. Think you might post the links? I belong to MPM too and I'd love to read those articles.
Any idea why Opt (John and Marion) is stating that we should file complaints with them? Do you know anything about them?
Thanx,
~Newbie Shield~

It came in one of the MPM daily updates sometime last week but I deleted it already.

Has MPM be debunked yet?
I liked the idea, then realized I could sign up as an affiliate with each place and keep more %. Great idea in theory, but never did see alot of action/
Is anyone actually using this successfully?
Also, I had a friend place and order for stuff on their that they received and I never received credit for it. It was like $50 sale so nothing to big, but I never did get credit for it?
Does anyone have any experiance with getting paid by MPM?

Hi Newbie Shield,all info about the cnn.com and USA today advertising is in MPM forum through back office 
Opendomain,
I have been paid by MPM and all went through fine
Did you report the missing commission/sale with them?
It doesn't matter that its only $50, its your commission.

Eh I wanted to back in the day but really just didn't see the point in arguing about a 50% where I would only get a few bucks. It's great to hear that it does actually work though. I was just curious if anyone had used it effectively.

I don't see it as a huge moneymaker,though I have heard some say that.
That would require huge volumes of numbers 
But it is a nice little moneyearner if you can sponsor and sponsor many.
Don't get me wrong,it hasn't paid me thousands,but the money I had earned was paid to me on time

Opendomain,
My story is pretty similiar to cybermommy. I've made a small amount thus far from MPM but unlike her I believe it can be a huge money maker down the road. It will take time certainly but I think as the company continues to grow and the name gets out there the income potential will reflect this.

Seeyalater and Cybermommy: Okay, sounds good. Think one of you might copy/paste the links in here for us next time you visit your back office? They also claim to be gearing up for an appearance on Oprah. I did read that one but it was from MPM, so I will believe it when I see it.
Open: They paid me in Feb and March - 30 bucks in each case. I just figure it will grow in time. It might get big some day. It was free and easy so I did it. I like to diversify my income streams in case one or more of them tank
Your GDI sounds really cool. I may do it some day. If I do, I'll be sure to sign up under you.
I wish that Opt n Shop would comment again. I hate it when someone shows up and comments once or twice and then disappears for good.
MPM now requires our birth date if we want to get paid. I gave mine out reluctantly.

I will get hold of those links Newbie Shield
SeeYaLater, at the moment I don't see it as a huge moneymaker.
There is always the possibility and providing you have a downline who duplicate your building then you are off to an excellent start.
I do believe it will make awesome money for some,and very good income for many
Hope that makes it clearer

I agree that has to be one of the most irritating things. I also don't like blatant ad posters...but most of us were there once I imagine...
I'll be here newbie, once you're ready.
Well at least I know they are paying someone maybe I'll give them another shot, I think I still have my account with them....though I can't remember just how heavily I promoted it...I signed up here when there was a mad RUSH to sign up, and like you I figured it was free so what the heck.
The one thing I did like was their back office marketing guides, very simple and easy to understand and follow.

Yes ,the marketing guides are very straightforward which I also like.They don't 'scare' people away if that makes sense.
I have heard that Ginny is looking to start up with a payment card in a couple of months to process our payments.
Anyone have any info on this?

I'm doing okay with My Power Mall. Now that they seem to pay on a consistent basis I may start to promote it more again. I was able to build a downline of over 1400 people in less than six months, but the majority of those never did shop.
With the new requirement to make one purchase a month the volume does seem to be increasing. As long as everyone approaches it as a shopping program first, and an income opportunities second, then MPM is a good opportunity for people to save money and make money.

Newbie,I am having trouble finding these links and cannot get into forum as their servers are being updated!
Sorry!Maybe someone can help me out here?
I just checked my commissions and they have jumped $25 in little over a week,the only thing I can think of is that they have fixed all the bugbears they had with missing sales?

That's okay though I still wish that someone would provide links to the article. Talking about what might happen in the future and making it a reality are two different animals.
I'm concerned about forum members being mislead. MPM owners continuously mention that they "plan" to get mentioned on big name sites and shows. The problem is that there is an implication. The implication is that it "will" actually happen.
The two aren't necessarily the same. To be honest, I don't have the highest of hopes that any of the biggest names will ever endorse MPM. I don't foresee CNN, Oprah, USA Today, or the like jumping up and down in public about MPM.
I'll stop here for now. I love their business model and I feel that it could be very profitable for MPM members and MPM owners. However, I have at least a half dozen serious reservations about MPM based on what I've seen at their site and from interactions with the owners - including payments due to me.
I'll close by saying that I'm very wary of the MPM owners and staff. At this point, I won't go into detail because I don't care to be harassed by these folks. Furthermore, they've straightened out a couple of their worst practices and I have some hope that they will straighten out the rest. It may turn out alright but I won't hold my breath.
~Newbie Shield~
Edited because I accidentally signed my name twice.
PS. The Opt n Shop (thread starter) showed up, made 2 posts in two months and disappeared. Spamtastic.

Lol,noticed that
Well Newbie Sheild,it seems I share many of the same thoughts on this as you,hence my non-promotion of this since they started backtracking,iffy practices etc
I received my payment via Paypal yesterday,so that is something.
I still believe that under all the covers,it is a very good business.
They just need to look at some of their 'rivals'(ahem,I'm sure we know who!)and strip back to basics.
Running before you can walk is never advised.
The tv shows I don't think will happen.
There was a huge mention in updates weeks ago,but since nothing.
Now its a new program within MPM Ginny is promoting,which will cost members $12 a month.
I am not looking to go into this.
The forum is now defunct I believe?
I could say more ,but I am reserving judgement.
I think they shouldstrip the whole thing back to basics.run it for what it is ,simple and be accessible and accountable at all times.

Interesting comments. I appreciate that.
I seem to be in agreement with your perceptions and statements.
Will you PM me about the $12/mo details. I rarely read their daily MPM spam mail (typical MLM!!).
Thanx,

Hi, just wanted to say that there is apparently a couple dollars in my MPM account but I don't see it ever getting high enough to actually get a payment. No one is promoting or shopping, including me. I just got so frustrated and all the promises and things they're trying to do. And when everyone below me quit, I gave up. I don't even fully understand this new SBYI or whatever it is?? Since I can't change over to a personal mall and just shop for myself, I have opted to shop through their competitors and save money on my own purchases. I've gotten paid twice by two other companies. I am spending my time on other endeavors, including taking care of my family. I was just putting out more time, effort and money that I was getting back. I love the idea, just decided to go back to saving on my own purchases.

I got a check on Tuesday, so did my wife, my 2 sons, and my mom. These were not big checks but were all between $25-$50.
The interesting thing is I have not promoted MPM since last January and it still continues to grow at a small rate. I may have to go back an re-think promoting it again.

I have also received commissions and they are rising slowly.
I think the commotion that exists with many is that they were wrongly told it would be a breeze to attain thousands in months.

I agree Cybermommy. I've been collecting small payments from MPM for a couple months now. I realized quickly that MPM would be a long term investment so to speak. MPM is simply not the business to be in for making quick profits. It's truly a numbers game with them and it takes time to build those numbers. But I've watched my dowline and profits grow steadily without a whole lot of promotion so I'm encouraged about the future of my MPM business.

Thats right
I don't run it as my sole source of income ,but its good to see its there and it has been paying me.
And my downline does shop,which is the backbone of what its about.
I read some of the problems flying around about MPM,but I can,hand on heart,say I haven't encountered any.
I may not agree with some decisions they have made,but thats not my call.
