The simple fact mine is free was a huge incentive.

I'm never convinced that "free" is a very good price for a business opportunity, I admit - it can sometimes attract people of welfare mentality who aren't really willing to do what it takes to get started. Controversial, perhaps, but sometimes true. Having said that, I must admit I got involved in my program because I knew the total start-up cost was only under $40 all-included, there's no monthly fee or "autoship", and I knew people making $1,000+ profits in their first couple of weeks. And nobody can call that unattractive!

The reason I chose my business is Cooperative Marketing!

I'm been on the Free Online Cash System for just about 59 days, and after some weeks of learning through the ropes, I finally earned my first $125. Now people may laugh at me as I know others may have earned money faster, but that's not the point here.
This particular business opportunity I joined because first, it's open for international members such as myself. Second it offers some great support, it doesn't stay stagnent, and always gives room for improvement. Still plenty of wonderful features for next year. It has some good people that I learned from and even made friends from and the founders themselves are friendly.
And the most important thing is that they have a passion to help people be successful online. They are not up for people who want to just be rich and that's it. They are giving and willing to share all their knowledge in becoming successful.
Another thing is that there is nobody at the dead top making all the big bucks and your success greatly depends on how much you dedicate your time too. I also like the various income stream potential the program offers.
It is also a nice thing that you get paid as soon as you become a member.
Lastly, I love the teamwork effort of the opportunity. All the members of the system work together and the faster the group works, the faster everyone can benefit.
All around great program and has certainly worked for me.

Since I am still a beginner, I recently joined the business opportunity I chose to promote so I can earn while I learn. I will also list the reasons why I joined this particular one.
1. It's a training system for network marketers with weekly Live Training Conference (I need a lot of training)
2. You can use the system for your current network marketing business or you can just be a sponsor (I currently do not have an existing one)
3. By being a sponsor, you get $17 for every direct referrals with a forced 3x6 matrix (getting referrals put under by my upline)
4. The opportunity to earn $5500/monthly residual income for only $20 a month with a 7 day money back guarantee (that's less than 70cents a day)
5. TEAMWORK (I really like the idea of teamwork)
Those are just some of the reasons why I joined and decided to promote it. I am currently working on starting my own team for newbies like me get started by getting every member 3 referrals each to jumpstart their downline and continue for their downline to grow as a TEAM.
glitch00's iwantfreecash seems pretty interesting to me. I'm just trying to figure out how you make money and earn residual income with no start up cost. I know I should just listen to the presentation. I just hate giving out my email just to get details. Oh well.. what do I have to lose.

You can check out the discussion thread in the business opportunities. I've also sent you an e-mail. Don't worry I don't spam to people not interested in the opportunity.

Thanks glitch00 for the info. That is an interesting system you have there to make money. But I'm not ready to commit into it yet. I have to get my team started and training with the program I just joined. Then when I get my team where I want it to be, we'll see what's in store for me. Best of luck to you!

I have been in the GRN business since this past July and purchased my membership back this past April. For me, it was first and foremost because of the OUTSTANDING product as I travel frequently and of course, I could use the amazing deals available within GRN. IN a nutshell, GRN or Global Resorts Network allows unlimited, unrestricted lifetime access to over 5000 4-5 star resorts worldwide at a fraction of the cost of the industry with no annual fees, no maintenance fee, no limits to the amount of weeks per year the membership can be used and last but not least, no black out dates.
With this in mind, I saw first hand the power of this membership on my trip last June in Rio de Janeiro where a top hotel on the beach was going for $1600 for a week while on the membership, it was listed for $650 or a saving of a grand right there and then.
Next, I made a reservation for my up coming trip again to Rio during Carnaval in the last week of February. During that time, the same top hotel (the Rio Othon Palace) charges over $1000 per night or about $5600 if I were to book it through any of the major online providers such as Expedia, Travelocity, Orbitz or Hotels.com. With the membership, I booked it for the entire week of Carnaval for $650. I am still having a hard time believing it. My friends are having a hard time believing it. During Carnaval, you would be LUCKY if you can get a hammock in a youth hostel for under $100 a night in Rio and I got a deluxe ocean view suite for about $92 a night! Thats simply unreal! I am sooo loving it!
Thats why I got into the business. The amazing deals available with this membership. savings of $1k-$2Ks or even $3K per week of vacation while using the membership are the meat and patotoes of this membership. Even if a member and his family all they did was just to take a one week vacation per year using this membership, over the course of 2 or 3 years, the membership would more than pay for itself in savings! Thats how powerful this membership.
In 3 months of being in this business, I have focused mainly on the product retail aspect of it to great success. So much that I will have a couple of up coming full page ads in very targeted magazines in the next 2-3 months costing me a few grands.
The business has been very good to me and God willing, it shall allow me to achieve my goal of quitting my job by this coming Christmas! And what is truly amazing is that I have not focused at all so far on the team building but mainly on the retail aspect of this business. I am left speechless when I think of what I can achieve when I will have built a team on top of the current retail side which is keeping me quite busy. Simply mind buggling!
The business pays $1000 per sale of a platinum membership which is a lifetime membership, valid 99 years and is fully transferable and and willable. As a nice bonus to it, the referal business also allows to build a team and on each sale made by the people on your team, to earn matching commission of $500 and $1000. With this pay plan, with only a handful of people on your team, you can very fast make as much or double your jobs income. Concretely speaking, even with a team of 3 people with each making 2 sales a month, thats an extra $6000 to your lifestyle. For a lot of folks out there, an extra $6K a month would allow them to fire their boss. This business is about creating real wealth real fast.
I have searched for years but have never seen anything like GRN. It just blows away any competition. Full stop! I feel blessed to have found it and to have the membership and to be in this amzing business.
Payman.

Hi Jose, That's an insightful question, because if one gets the key to why, then one can easily build a downline.
I joined because the unique, quality product solved a long term health issue that didn't seem to have a resolution for me, AND I saw the potential for helping others achieve health, wellness, and dreams, thereby helping my dreams come true.
For me, the bottom line, is would I use the product if I weren't in the business? The answer for me, for this product is YES!
It seems everybody is trying to make a quick $$. The answer is in offering more in service and quality then one receives, and this MLM provides a vehicle for me to do just that!

I've always been interested in Health and Wellness! The very first company I chose has great products (and I am still a customer today) however after years of dealing with 'my product is better than your product', and finding and keeping customers, the company I chose to promote today has, in my opinion, the best concept going.....and it's called Cooperative Marketing!

Over time when you market, you make a number of contacts and develop relationships with other Internet Marketers. On occasion, these people are the first (they become the master distributor) to be asked to start marketing the new Company and product.
This has been my experience on a number of occasions and it is both rewarding and frustrating. Rewarding because you can know about a great income opportunity before most others and frustrating because a start up can end up being a dead end.
Recently, I've come to know of two such opportunities. One has to do with a virtually unknown botanical called the Maqui berry and the other has to do with discount travel.
I fought the idea of doing a travel mlm because most of them are worthless and the one's that have any value cost thousands of dollars to join. This will change that.
So to answer your question: I choose these because of the relationship I had with the person who introduced them to me. Second, I felt very strongly about the product, feeling it has both value for me and has mass appeal. And three, I enjoy offering products that have huge benefits to others.
Have a terrific day!
Andrew

I chose my first one, network marketing with a highly reputable company that saves people money with their great products and services because it will teach me alot and I'm a very focused and sales orientated person.
My second I chose because it taught me loads about how to make money online, advertising marekting and basically everything right up to the expert stuff.
I'm about to join another one some time this week, that'll be three

Why did you choose the business opportunity you are promoting? Any experiences so far that you can share?
ANSWER: Simple; it is relationships. Tony Alessandra a colleague and business associate told me about iLearningGlobal opportunity. I knew him and trusted him and what he said. That is all I needed. I have NEVER been involved in any MLM before.
Then I was impressed by the following in this order:
1. It was headed by Brian Tracy another guy I respected. (I later found out it has all the big guys in network marketing working with it.)
2. I really believed in the concept and product: importance of continuous learning and personal development and bringing it all into one place using the latest technology.
3. It was in prelaunch. I knew this was a critical factor -- to get in at the beginning (and near the top). Launch is set for January 2009
iLG has lots of support and brings all the best of this marketing strategy but it is hard for me. My pitch is that I really need to find people experienced with building relationships with others, who see the vision of life long learning and would like to join me to help build this business from the ground up.

1. Donald Trump has endorsed the company.
2. The product makes sense.
3. The pricing is competitive.
4. The market is wide-open.
5. The compensation plan is sick.
6. The residual income is real (not dependent on new sales or new recruits).
7. The leadership is legendary.
8. I could afford to roll the dice on $500 if it didn't work.
When I first looked at my opportunity, I was already doing ok by my standards then, especially for my age. I wasn't really looking for an opportunity which is why some of the things above were even an issue; I wasn't really willing to do "whatever it takes" to make a crazy income.

Hi Jose
I started with a MlM trave company . for the benifits that have turned out for me. If this helps I found it surfing the net and found some one doing the business. I love to trave so this was a good match. I get commision on my own travel that I take and so far friends and family are using my site. The MlM is set upi to make money from having persons under you as many are . so far that has not been busy for me . not that I would not like to get that part going but it will come with work when Im ready .
so far my commision is paying for my trave and some fees not bad.
well if this helped great if I did not explain some thing let me Know.

I chose the mois system known as "my online income system"
simply because it is a step by step 60 day guide for the complete beginner
it was also affordable and i see it as a stepping stone and a great learning curve for the newbies.

I joined the company I am with currently because I am passionate about the products it sells. This company is the #1 nutritional company in North America and has been in business for over 52 years. In addition to their nutritional products, I am also selling their environmentally friendly cleaning products which allows me to help the environment in a small way. This company offers training and support and I have learned some very effective online marketing strategies to promote this business and it's products.

The reason I joined GBG, is because I was spending too much money in the organizations I was promoting before. I was with Quixtar for several years and lost too much money, and the organization I was in business with decided to not promote that business anymore. I was happy to be out. Then they announced they were all joining MonaVie. I lost too much money in that too, with its $143 a month minimum auto-ship.
I've learned too much from too many books (Kiyosaki, Pilzer, Hedges, etc.) and recordings to give up on the dream of pipeline income. To those negative folks who say "Just get a job and stop dreaming.." well, I've always had a job, and all it ever does is leave me dreaming of something better. Even with my lack of real success to this point, I have to feel sorry for those who feel so low to make such statements.
Anyway, while logging on to my computer and looking at the lack of growth in my MonaVie team, I saw a banner ad that said "Why GBG is better than MonaVie" or something to that extent. After extensive research for the better part of a day I realized it certainly was better. I found out about the same time that my "Bronze" upline and sponsor cousin wasn't doing MonaVie anymore either, hadn't been to a meeting in weeks! Talk about knowing when things weren't right!
I am a Christian, and the fact that GBG stands for "Guided By God" helped me warm up to it as well. I did some simple searching to find the right person to sign up with - someone with similar morals and admirable character. We joined the Prosperity Wellness Team with Chris Curtis in Oklahoma. We are very glad to be with them, for they offer so much more than the average Team. Our conference calls are the best!
I like the fact that my business is free to join with a $19.95 product order, and you can make money back immediately with referrals. The website below, which I got for free just for buying this product, explains everything in great detail.
Also, I have a new reason. Isn't that the most important thing? We found out in July that we were expecting our daughter who will be here with us in April! I've always told my son who is now eleven that we will win in our business, and I will never be the one to give the example of a quitter.
Thank you and God Bless!

There several reasons that I joined the Free Online Cash System. First and foremost, the incentive that made me look at the program again was that it was FREE!!! I guess that would make anyone look twice lol. But starting an online venture with no out of pocket cost was a very big bonus for me.
However, this isn't the reason that caused me to stay with the opportunity. One of the things that made me stick with it was the training that I got in marketing and advertising. This opportunity has shown me many different ways to get qualified leads, for free. This is more than any business I had tried in the past had done for me.
Also, I love the support aspect of the organization. Weekly, we have calls simply to share ideas and teach others about marketing, and get questions answered. There's no competition in the organization, everyone helps everyone else to achieve success. I guess that might be two reasons right there lol.
Furthermore, I love the admins of this program. I am in constant contact with both admins of this program, which helps me out an awful lot because I get input on what happens with the organization as a whole. Also, and this may be a selfish reason, but one of the admin is black. For me, having an admin that looks like me is great. I love to see my people doing something positive, and in internet marketing, you don't see many of us.
Finally, and this ties in to the first reason, I love marketing an opportunity that actually allows people to make money with no-out-of-pocket cost. Most systems out there want you to pay money in order to make money later. The Free Online Cash System is designed to have you begin in profit, only to make even more money residually later down the road. I like that I don't have to coax people to take money out of their pockets in order for me to make money. All I do is spread the word about free money, and help people to get there.
So, those are the reasons that I joined and stay with the Free Online Cash System to this day.

There are a lot of excellent ideas here! I love seeing what others are doing. There are a lot of things to check out. There is also a lot of great advice. I am always looking for more ways to earn at home. With the way the economy is, my own home business is a blessing. It is because of forums like these that I am able to earn from home. Thanks to all for all your advice and tips!!

After my corporate job was downsized I actually drove a taxi while I was contemplating my next career move. The cab business was fun at times however there was an ever present cloud of danger and violence. The sheer number of strangers one picks up in the taxi means you will have "customers" who want to do you harm.
I had a gun put to my head during a robbery and I've been attacked with knives and fists by men (and women) 30 years my junior. With a degree from Boston College along with a successful business career behind me I realized that pushing a hack was not the best choice for my talents.
I wasn't anxious to jump back into the corporate rat race so I looked at some work at home opportunities. I know how to market so after choosing a few income streams that appealed to me I had success almost from the get go.
Anyone can do what I did. You just need a computer, great programs, a marketing plan and the discipline to act on that plan daily. I'm pleased with all the success of course but somehow I don't think I'll miss cleaning up some drunk's vomit so my next passenger and day driver will ride in a clean taxi.

I chose the program that I am currently with for a few reasons.
1. It had a low cost about 45 - 50 dollars
2. I was a total newbie and the program has a lot of education that is involved. It is also a step by step plan which helped me see the big picture.
3. I was also able to find some good reviews of the product that were helpful in the decision making process.
4. It wasn't MLM. I had a MLM business in college and just wasn't my thing.

Hi. I have been involved in several business' online and was getting ready to stop doing anything that involved network marketing until I found the business I am in. I have been in several, including one I saw mentioned in this thread, GBG, and it was always work replacing distributor's that would drop out. My husband and I even started looking at buying a franchise. I have a good sized income to replace. I just left my job in corporate america to now pursue what I found full time. I primarily assist other's now to grow their business, which in turn helps me.
There are 3 things that got me involved in this 1. Cooperative Marketing Model where no recruiting is required to earn. 2. The company - in business' 10 year's now, debt fre-e company with exceptional products (over 50, so not stuck with just one or two products) 3. The team I am involved with. Possibly No. 3 should be No.1 because I lead a team within a team and without the teamwork of my upline and downline, this would still be an excellent business, but I would not be nearly as effective without the people I work with on a daily basis.
The company is Trivita. In Cooperative Marketing, you only participate after a company has acquired the customer, not before. Your dollars buy you the life-time profit-share rights to those customers and a percentage of all future purchases they make. You can acquire customers from a Cooperative Marketing company and buy the life-time profit-rights to the residual earnings of future purchases by those customers.`Whenever that customer makes a purchase, you're compensated on that sale.
With Cooperative Marketing, the company handles all the operations of airing television, radio, newspaper and magazine advertising. They also do the day to day things that most of us don't want to do, like stocking product, inventory, fulfilling orders, retention, back-end marketing, collection, reselling our customers additional products, and even talking to your customers when they have questions. Trivita follows up 18 times a year with mailings and once a week with health related emails.
These customers want to order the products and are not making a purchase because there's a business opportunity attached to it, which in turn creates a stable and predictable residual income for home-based entrepreneurs like us.
I am very happy and am thrilled to have found my "home". I wish the same for you in whatever you choose to pursue. It's amazing when you finally find the one for you!

I believe in the product.. If I am going to have to purchase the product monthly then I better believe in it.. If I don't sign up a single person I am still going to use the product that is key. I tried the juices and did believe in them but they were just way to expensive

I kind of stumbled into mine as well. I was looking for a product and turns out that the product has an incredible comp plan that goes along with it. When I thought about how everyone with a cell phone (which means pretty much everyone) would want this product, it was a no-brainer decision for me. The company just launched in January and while they're still getting the wrinkles out, I think it will be one of the biggest success stories of the year. I only wish I already had a "downline" because it's going to be one of those easy to sell products if you know how to get it in front of people. I'm hoping by being part of this forum I can learn some stuff about MLM that will help me. Everything I've ever tried over the years burned me . . . but this seems like the first thing that's about the "product" . . . we'll see!
Thanks, Greg

I chose my business opportunity due to the fact that I don't need to spend as much money to actually get started and promote it. At the same time the product and its benefits included in the program is needed by every consumer. Thus, it makes the program high in demand.

I chose my opportunity because they are proactive in their approach to health. Not just pop some pills or drink some juice. You have to get active and stay active. Not to mention they give you FREE customers generated from millions spent on infomercial advertising and it's under 40 bucks to get started.
