Kathy Smith’s Blog and Your Gateway to Success

Many people are searching for a home based business, especially in this poor economy.  Ideally, they would also like to make a difference in people’s lives as well as earning extra money.  So instead of stuffing envelopes or something mundane, really contributing and being compensated for it.  I have come up with a definition of four different kinds of unique opportunities where 3 of them are the “black holes” that people fall into and then there’s what I call the “fourth kind”.  I am going to explain how the fourth kind of an opportunity can change your life.  I do want to add a disclaimer that this is my definition that I came up with for explaining the four different kinds of unique opportunities.  It was an easy way of explaining and helping you to have a different perspective.

What is the fourth kind?  There are many different home based businesses and many of them are established and have good products but don’t have something unique to set them apart.  I am going to describe the four kinds of “unique” opportunities and why you only want the fourth kind.

The first kind is a scam. It may appear to be very unique and seem too good to be true.  Caution – when something seems too good to be true, it usually is.  You need to do your research and search on the internet and check the Better Business Bureau.  There are tons of scams on the internet that people are attracted to that seem like they will provide the answers to their problems.  Many people lose thousands of dollars and then sadly give up, thinking there is no possibility of their making money by having a home based business.

The second kind is based on just recruiting or no real product.  Whatever the business, it looks really interesting and the idea seems really unique.  But . . . word of caution – if it’s just based on recruiting or no real product -  it’s either a pyramid or a ponzi.  What’s the difference?  Well, with a pyramid, they promise consumers or investors large profits based primarily on recruiting others to join their program, not based on profits from any real investment or real sale of goods to the public.  A ponzi, on the other hand, has no product.  As the FTC explains, “A Ponzi scheme is closely related to a pyramid because it revolves around continuous recruiting, but in a Ponzi scheme the promoter generally has no product to sell and pays no commission to investors who recruit new “members.” Instead, the promoter collects payments from a stream of people, promising them all the same high rate of return on a short-term investment. In the typical Ponzi scheme, there is no real investment opportunity, and the promoter just uses the money from new recruits to pay obligations owed to longer-standing members of the program. In English, there is an expression that nicely summarizes this scheme: It’s called “stealing from Peter to pay Paul.” In fact some law enforcement officers call Ponzi schemes “Peter-Paul” scams. Many of you may be familiar with Ponzi schemes reported in the international financial news. For example, the MMM fund in Russia, which issued investors shares of stock and suddenly collapsed in 1994, was characterized as a Ponzi scheme.”

Take a look closely at the businesses out there and if you see that they are talking more about your making money and there’s no real product  – run – run as fast as you can.  Sooner or later, they will be shut down.

The third kind is a start up.  Most people are drawn to a start up because they want to get in at the beginning of the beginning and have the chance for great wealth, but what many people do not realize is that most start ups fail.  They can’t anticipate the obstacles they have to overcome and whether it’s a poor compensation plan, poor product, not enough market research, lack of integrity, poor business plan, not prepared for rapid growth, etc, the bottom line is you invest your time and money only to have the doors close.

Now we come to what I call the “fourth kind”.  It’s not scam, it’s based on real products backed by science and offering something no one else has and it’s not a start up but it’s a ground floor opportunity with a 10 year proven business model with a leader in the health and wellness industry.

How can you have a ground floor opportunity with a proven business model?  Easy.  Have a CEO who has the integrity and 35 years of wealth creation expertise to build a strong foundation with a customer driven business and then after 10 years of this proven business with over 50 nutritional products that are backed by science, introduce a product that is a category breaker.  Something that has no competition and can provide a true wellness experience for people.

I was just approached by someone about Efusjon and telling me I should join. First of all, my mentor who made a million dollars per year in network marketing, who sadly has since passed away from bone cancer, really showed me what to look for in a business. You don’t want to jump from business to business. You want to do your research so you know you’re in the right business and then make that commitment. My sponsor in the current business I’m in is a great testimony to that same scenario. He jumped from business to business from 2003 to 2007 and at the same time his sponsor on a part time business built it to a substantial six figure income. That’s when my sponsor decided to get serious and within a year’s time rose up the career rank.

That’s not to say I don’t evaluate all the new programs and changes. I do. And every single time, I am rewarded with knowing that I’m in the right business.

Let’s take Efusjon for instance. Yes, it’s led by a leader in the industry and it’s viral with facebook and the games. I think that’s great. And it’s natural energy drinks. Hey that’s great too. And I’ve been told it has a great compensation plan. Well, that may be true for some folks, but not compared to the business I’m in.

I’ve also heard that there are some teams that are going to do infomercials and create a rotator with google. Well, I think that’s great too but I have seen this happen before and it doesn’t work. An infomercial takes a lot of money and you need to be able to make changes and have the expertise. The business that I’m in which has a 10 year proven track record, is backed by a 38 year old media giant with programming in 200 countries.

Of course, you’re going to say, well that’s an established business. I’m seeking a start up. Well, right now we have a ground floor opportunity with a proven business model. The company has just launched a new product called Nopalea. It’s a category breaker product. Do you know what that means? No competition. Do you think there’s competition with Energy Drinks? You betcha! My company’s new product has an addition to the business model providing weekly bonuses for 90 days for each new activity, meaning everytime you or someone within your 3 tiers signs up a person, it kicks off this bonus plan. You can build beyond 3 tiers and you place people where you want with the matrix and you can build to unlimited width.

Oh, and by the way, this company that I’m in will very soon be airing infomercials on both the product and the opportunity and we’ll be able to acquire those leads from the company. How great is that?

The name of the company is TriVita and here’s some bullet points on why I feel TriVita is still the best opportunity around.

1) If someone says with their opportunity they are running infomercials driven by a team – unless the person is a millionaire, they don’t have the resources to pull an infomercial and redo it until it’s done right and they don’t have 38 years of experience like Ellison Media. Even if the infomercials were company driven, you would have to take a look at their expertise. This has been done before by teams and it didn’t work.

2) TriVita has a category breaker product like Nopalea where people are getting results within weeks. It helps to reduce inflammation which is really helping relieve people’s pain and discomfort. Take a look at the products of the company you’re evaluating – if there is competition for their products or it’s a 1 product company, you’re betting everything on that one product. Does your product make a difference? All of TriVita’s products produce results – they have a less than 1% return rate and that’s after 10 years!

3) TriVita has 50 other products where TriVita backends markets to them so they can find out about the products and order them.

4) TriVita has a master conversion system where they build loyalty and they have a system in place to retain the customers and cultivate an ongoing relationship. This is huge because this saves you time, money and resources. TriVita employs a constant stream of benefits to build sales and loyalty from your customers from a monthly product catalog to special offers and discounts to a wellness publication; weekly emails covering health issues and more at no cost to you.

5) TriVita has a fantastic compensation plan

For the Share and Earn:

* Paid 30% for 90 days for each new customer you bring in and then 21% lifetime commissions for customers and
* Paid 30% for 90 days for affiliate members you sign up and then 7% on your affiliate members (3% on first tier but all other tiers are 7%)
* Paid 15% and 10% for tiers 2 and 3 and same scenario above

For customers with TriVita’s 50 other nutritional products:
* Paid 70% bonus for first time customers for TriVita’s 50 other fantastic products and then 21% lifetime commissions.

Then for all your customers in your group, you’re paid paid 4% for tiers 2 to 7 for your customers.

And . . . Remember you have unlimited width. You are not forced to have only 3 on top – that’s just how we build but if you fill all 7 tiers, guess what? You open up another leg.

And this is not including the additional commissions and bonuses you receive as you rise up the career rank and as you rise up the career rank, you are paid additional commissions and bonuses beyond your 7th tier.

Folks, TriVita is airing soon infomercials on this phenomenal product Nopalea and the Share and Earn business. We have a new product launching in October and next year we’re going international and you can even sign up someone now internationally.

That’s why my commitment is to TriVita. With all the programs that people have approached me with, I haven’t been able to find a company like TriVita. TriVita has a commitment to excellence, to high quality products, to helping their affiliate members succeed and providing the best service for the customers and to truly help others experience better health, a better life and in following that path also achieving greater wealth to achieve their life purposes.

Just take a look at TriVita’s mission statement: “To inspire people to experience wellness and to create wealth for their life purposes.”

So back to the original question, Efusjon, will I be joining? No. Should you join? Well, I would say take a look at TriVita. Do your due diligence and I think you’ll see what I did.

Call me on 718-407-0035 and I can answer any of your questions and go HERE to read more about TriVita and to find out more about Nopalea, go to: www.trivitacactus.info.

Wishing you good health and great wealth!

Hi.  I am sorry I haven’t written in a while.  I started a new home based business and I have been so immersed in helping my team.  Right now I have over 100 folks on my team and over 3,700 customers and I started in August 2008.  They have just launched a new product that has been proven to reduce inflammation and what’s amazing is people are having results within days!  But I’m back and I am going to try and be more consistent.

It’s funny because in my last blog posting, I indicate the most important thing to do is blog daily and guess what I haven’t done – blog daily.    I need to follow my own advice.

Let’s move onto my next topic.  Lead Generation is the basis of any business.  How do you generate leads?  Without customers, you don’t have a business.  Without bringing in other distributors, you are limiting your growth.  Of course, you want to have as many customers as you want and with the business I’m in, I can just acquire them from the company but I always believe in multiple ways of building a business.  This is how you tip the scales to your advantage – it’s all about the marketing system!

One of the ways that I am generating leads is through a company called Veretekk.

This system will allow you to fill your pipeline of prospects indefinitely! If you have already heard of Veretekk and feel it’s too complicated to set up, I can help you with that.

Now, let’s talk about Veretekk.  With Veretekk, you have prospects and leads coming to YOU!   Veretekk includes the traditional autoresponder system, but then takes it to the nth level.  You have a multitude of emails you can create to use with different autoresponders and then create groups to track the campaigns. Veretekk’s real strength is with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Veretekk gives you the ability to link all over the Internet. You receive dozens of websites, many of which you can offer free products enabling you to capture contact information, which is then put on your autoresponders.  With Veretekk Gold you get about 35 “traffic portals” and you can link them together with what’s called “daily chain linking”.  After you have linked them, which adds more weight to your site, then you can promote them.

Many of the traffic portals are designed to attract the sort of people who are either actively searching for ways to make money online, or looking for ways to promote their business.  Veretekk allows you to build a list of people who will be receptive to making money.

In addition to SEOing your website; you can track each website as well as having a multitude of emails with tracking to gauge the effectiveness of your campaigns.  All incoming leads are captured with customized emails sent to them promoting many different money opportunity sites as well as the Veretekk system and when they raise their hand and enter one of your sites, it can automatically switch to sending them email campaigns promoting your business.

You also receive “Profit Portals” which are the same as Traffic Portals in that they are fully developed lead generation systems, but they also offer their own affiliate program.  You can sign up and create an additional stream of income – your choice.

And you receive “SEO Portals” which are designed specifically to aide with Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

With all the portals, you have full control over the content with displayed text, meta tags and here’s what’s important – you can even include your feed so if you have a blog (which you can receive with Veretekk) or any other blog you have and you update it – all your portals are updated.  So you have fresh content on ALL your portals when you update your blog.

Utilizing these portals allows your to expand your control out to over 40 different domains and with these portals, you are able to attain the best, unique and premium leads.

Its a great system and anyone serious about online marketing should invest the time to learn the system by attending their free online training but you can also follow my step-by-step system.

I know I have promised to provide business tips and information on Internet Marketing but I truly feel that if you add Veretekk to your portfolio, you have an unfair advantage over what everyone else is doing.

Look to my next blog on more advice and information on building your business and I promise to be posting daily!

To Your Wealth & Wellness,

Kathy
