I see some people on here peddling that service, I was just wondering how it is legal?

I understand it is peddled as a telecommunications provider company, but it is definately MLM is this legal?

Is it legal to try to recruit people on yahoo for this (by yahoo’s standards)?

Legal - yes. They have very good lawyers on staff to make sure everything is done legally. Their product (phone service) actually "works", and, as a former salesman, my commission check (for about $9) didn’t bounce.

Ethical? - Maybe not. Go to a sales meeting and see the kind of promises that are made. MLM is very hard, probably harder than most regular jobs, but that little fact is glossed over.

It isn’t illegal to use Yahoo! to recruit, but it violates the Yahoo! terms of service (and probably ACN’s, too).

Its a MLM business, where all you have to do is get people to switch their energy provider an recruit other marketers to work under you

Yes, I’m familiar with it. I am with Ignite powered by Stream Energy and we do the same thing. I am an independent associate for Ignite for 6 months.

From what I’ve heard of Ambit they do the same thing but approach it a bit differently. I have a couple associates who have gone to Ambit presentations but have instead joined my group because Ambit’s focus is on recruiting. Ignite’s is more about managing people and growing your residual income which is directly tied to gathering customers more so recruiting.

I’m a mechanical engineer for the oil and gas industry. I am married with 2 kids. I don’t have a lot of time to work, but I do it because I see potential and it has paid very nicely. Energy is energy and the same companies service your lines so the only thing that has changed in the customers view is the billing. If it’s the same, let’s pay less and make some money on it!

Contact me through my e-mail or through my website. Both companies are at the start something very big. I’m sure Ambit is a great company too but Ignite runs promotions almost monthly.

March Promotion. (Ambit can’t touch these promotions)
-Gather 4 customer points (2 comes from website, 2 from electricity customer switches) you get $300.
-Promote to Managing Director in 90 days from their start date and you get $1000.
-Sponsor someone and they promote in 90 days from their start date and THEY get $1000 and you get $500.

Follow the plan, and work it like a business and you would be amazed at what you can make in such a short period of time. Plus, you are an independent contractor so you can make business expenses. Why pay more in taxes when you don’t have to legally.

I need the following details included in the copy:
Date: Aug 15th
Time: 6PM-8PM (6-7 – Networking) (7-8Pm the program)
Topic: Bridging the Gap between Traditional & Online Advertising
Panelists include:
Mary Sinclair & Mike Reid, Time Magazine
Rob Haas, Rodgers Townsend
Some copy points could be:
How do you add Online Advertising into your Media Mix?
How do you leverage Interactive to make traditional media more efficient?

Here’s what another organization used for their copy:

"Today’s consumer has infinite choices always available on-demand – a trend that has created a nation of hyper multi-taskers who are likely to be watching television while surfing the net. How are marketers adapting to this ever changing media landscape?
We’ll hear leading brands describe how they’re integrating multi-platform marketing including creative strategy, organization structure, and media planning. "
I need something similar to that quote with the above details included. HELP!!

Multitasking is the need of the day.

I am tired of failing and being unsuccessful. So many others are successful with their businesses and I would like to know what their secret is. All my upline does is tell me to call people who I am friends with or know and just enroll them into my new business or buy expensive leads, and those are a total hit and miss. I am tired of this because this is why in the past I have never succeeded in network marketing and I don’t want the same thing to happen again. I got into a business that involves a product that I LOVE and I will be crushed if this doesn’t work out. In the past I was not passionate about the products but this time I am. There has to be other ways to build your business rather than bothering your friends (that you end up losing anyway because you resent them for not getting involved and don’t want that happening again either), buying expensive hit and miss leads or just putting ads in the local supermarket. If that is all most MLM’ers do then its me, I am the loser then But I am already getting discouraged!! Thanks.

It is not you. You are definitely not a loser. You have the passion for the product that you distribute. Are you leading with the biz opp and it makes you uncomfortable? Do you know who and what your target market is? If you were going to open up a restaurant you would invite a whole lot more then your family. Don’t buy the leads. It will just add to your frustrations. What you need is to learn some things about marketing using real world business marketing tactics.

BEST WISHES!

It seems that there are a lot less people peddling their MLM businesses on yahoo answers these days. I am just curious if everyone else sees this as well and why you think this is?

My feeling is that when yahoo answers came out all these MLMers saw this as a great opportunity to try to get new recruits, but as they realized like in every other way that MLM just is not set up to work, their enthusiasm for being here has fizzled.

I am sure Robert Kiyosaki will write another book mentioning MLM that will get their enthusiasm back and make him another million bucks selling books.

obviously you don’t know mlm. mlmers do that you know? they get so enthusiast that they become possessed ehehe then the anti mlm call them NFL (no friends left) so the moment they realize that mlm is not a magic corp that could make them rich just like that… they become dim. i still don’t know why grown ups still think that people can be rich easily.

Um…I’m Doing A Case Study on MySpace, and here are some issues my teacher made up, i need some help on answering them.

1. Back in 2007, it seemed that MySpace was leading the internet social network. Now it’s having trouble dealing (competing) with its competitors.

2. The current CEO wants to come up with something new and innovative to the social network market.

3. MySpace’s CFO has just approved a budget of $1.5 million to produce a new look for its home page and web site design. The director of advertisement does not know what to do with the budget?
4. Members are canceling their account with MySpace to join other social networks.
5. What old, new or emerging technology should MySpace consider?

PLEASE CHOOSE ANY 2 ANSWER….GOD BLESS!

WHAT DO you mean choose any to answer there is no real question just be simple and ask the question you want people to answer these are just statements

i have run out of freinds and relitives need to find new people anybody out with expeiriance with mlm and bringing mass numbers of people to a presentation ? i could sure use some advice

candidly you sound like these NBA children.
you need to stop thinking like a lottery player.
rewards require hard work which means meeting people daily by any means legal and dependent on your money available to advertise. if your company Has a product line use that to introduce the company. Retail Retain Retrain (not recruit) and the people will stay long term. Recruit with out an attachment to products means your selling franchises to people who will drop out as fast as you put them in. That is work (not smart).
besides the friends and family routine gets old fast, there are plenty of people out there who can be educated if they want it.
many uninformed people do not know many national/international companies use mlm as proven means to get there products out to the market. most government are legal pryamid schemes. USA Social Security for one.

one of my friend’s company is going to make an advertisement in english,So i have translated all chinese into english for her .

Could you do me a favor,As you know,i am not a native english speaker,so please kindly let me know if i made some mistakes on grammar or somewhere.or you can write to me in a different way but with the same idea.

too long ques

Hello,

I would like to make a brief introduction about myself. I am the lead singer/vocalist in a rock/pop band, The Embezzles, (name have been changed quite a few times within the past few months)and we’re very similar to Paramore and Linkin Park. We’re sort of a big deal in East Texas with an increasing fan base which continues to grow expendably great but we have a big problem communicating and contacting fans. We’ve tried everything from Post Office boxes, Private Mailboxes and social networking sties. Unfortunately, the Postal Services are on shaky ground. Postal Services have rules and regulations to combat mail fraud and other crimes committed using postal and private mailboxes which sounds convincing but the postal services are on the wrong side here.

Rather than protecting privacy they are seeking to invade it and rather than allowing some consumer choice they are looking to stifle what little competition exists. Unfortunately, scam artists also utilize the convenience of private mailboxes to hide illegal activities, such as credit card fraud, identity theft and schemes to swindle the elderly. In other words or simple terms, P.O. boxes and Private Mailboxes are growing concerns of the postal services used in order to single out P.O. boxes and PMB(private mailboxes) who have personal accounts instead of business accounts.

We would like to have an address rather than using one of our own physical home address because you guys are aware of fans(groupies) can be a bit psychotic at times when bands are in the limelight destined for stardom. Instead of selling merchandise, passing out flyers, etc. from our tour van/hotel (lol) J, we decided that we want to be able to reach fans outside of our 100 mile radius giving fans the opportunity to write personal letters to one our band members, pics or whatever the fans want to give their favorite band (The Embezzles ) <<<<<promotion tactic>>>>>,in order to converse on numerous occasions, but we do not want to give the government or postal office or any carrier service speculations or any misleading ideas that we are subjecting to a scheme to earn money or somehow get personal information from individuals. All we want is to build a connection with our fans in order to solidify our relationships to remind them of upcoming tour dates, nearby performances, or any updates we might have in order to refresh the memories of our fans.

We were recommended on some international mail forwarding service sites but getting an international P.O. or Private box seems a little suspect, wouldn’t you agree? Although they offer great services they only require your personal information….sometimes to much information. I have scavenged many postal services sites and some websites seem a bit puzzling. Even though they have U.S. Postal Forms and identification requirements they false advertise and some sites even have numerous complaints from previous customers. If I were to come across one of these misleading websites how would I be able to recognize a true and faithful postal or forwarding service from any other website posing as a legit mail forwarding service? Are there any services that allows you to apply online if so this would be my first option to cut out the hassle and run around the postal services have been giving us.

Thanks for your all your time and help.

Starting to look like spam, but all I can say is- I had a friend who was in a band back in the mid-late 80s. This was Before the internet & they managed to get fan mail from Japan.

So if some no name band could do it back *then*……

I am looking for a work from home opportunity….one that doesn’t involve the "party plan," mlm, or recruiting others. I’ve tried Mary Kay…TWICE. I love the product, but I hate recruiting and cold calling and "warm chatter," and I especially hate looking at everyone I meet like they are a potential recruit or sale.

I have spent countless hours doing research on the internet. Amway, no thanks. Avon, Pure Romance, Passion Parties, Herbalife, Dynamite Marketing, all no thanks. I have spent countless hours and more money than I care to say on hopeless mlm ventures. I always ended up spending more than I made. I have a good work ethic and am realistic - I don’t expect to make 100K a year for five hours a week worth of work. I just want a more flexible schedule and a little extra spending money left over after the bills are paid.

I have a toddler who has been in daycare practically since birth that I’d like to be home with and a horse that I never have time to ride after working a full time job and balancing house chores. I’m also an aspiring artist, but rarely have time or even the energy to paint after my busy days.

If anyone has any ideas, not scams, I would love to hear them.

Thanks!!

Hi!

If you want to make money online, from the comfort of your own home, you’ve got to be very careful. There are lot of scams on the internet, so you have to watch out.

On the other hand, check my blog. I make some good part-time money online but I had to try out many programs and systems. Now I focus on just a few of them, I work this way about two hours a day and for now I am making about $900 a month (I’ve been using my systems 3 - 4 months now, and made almost nothing the first month). But it is slowly expanding, and if I keep working the way I work now, I think I could be making $3.000 - $5.000 a month at the end of this year.

But, if you are serious about making money online, you have to know that nothing gets you nothing! You have to put some work in it and you have to invest some money for starters. For instance, I love working with GDI, and it is a system than can make you up to $4.000 a month + some big bonuses, but you have to pay for web hosting $10 monthly. I know it is hard in the beginning but I think that many other sites, that offer thousands a month without spending a single dime, are scam. So you have to be certain that you really want to work online when you start, otherwise you’d be throwing away your money.

So, what programs do I use? As I said, I love my GDI, it makes me the most money. There is also Increase Your Portion (new, but promising, just started making me more than $100), there is also a very educational SpiderWeb Marketing System. For my affiliate marketing I use Maverick Money Makers systems and it also made me some real money, so I’ll keep learning from it because this is something like a small money making university, with new lessons each month.

I put all my systems with detailed info and explanations, videos also, on a blog site so that my friends could start also. I’ll give you a link in my source so that you can check it out. Hope you’ll start making some online money soon. Good luck!
