Is eFusjon Just A Pyramid Scheme?

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Let’s get right to the answer here, is it a pyramid scheme or not? No, it’s not. But it is important to understand why it’s not.

I thought I would hear a lot more talk about this issue, but to my surprise I haven’t really heard that much about it. Nonetheless, I know there are people out there who may be wondering so I figured I would address it here anyway.

I got started in network marketing about 3 1/2 years ago. I had never done one previous to that and aside from an Amway meeting someone dragged me to when I was a 17 year old junior in high school, I had never even heard of the industry. I never knew anyone who had done a network nor been successful at it.

I got involved in the first place because my boss was a jerk and had a lot of control over my life. I needed a way out of that situation. When I met someone making some pretty significant money in a relatively short amount of time it caught my attention. I jumped at the opportunity.

The idea was simple. Sign up to purchase this product automatically every month, consume the product and then share it with your friends and family and have them replicate the process. Repeat it over and over and build a big organization of people who do this and you make a little bit from everyone’s monthly purchase. Well I did, and it grew to almost 10,000 people in the last 3 1/2 years. My life was completely transformed. No more suit and tie! I quit my job after 8 months and then ultimately quit selling insurance entirely after I had hit $5,000/week a little after a year.

Now, since I had never been exposed to network marketing or anyone who did it, I didn’t have any defenses up when I was introduced to it. However, over time I realized that other people in my group were running into prospects who would comment, “Oh that’s one of those pyramid schemes”.

After a while I began to wonder, Am I IN a pyramid scheme and I don’t even know it?. I didn’t even know what it was, but it didn’t sound good! So here’s what I did:

I went on wikipedia.org and looked up what a pyramid scheme is. I found out there are two defining characteristics.

1. There’s no product at all. Just a structure of people in place in which compensation comes from sign ups into the structure, not from promoting a legitimate product.

2. You can’t make more money than the people above you in the structure.

In eFusjon, same as the other company I was involved with, they have a highly valuable product in an exploding product category.

Also, in eFusjon, if you work your business and the person that sponsors you does not, you will likely end up making more money than them.

Interestingly, the network marketing industry (to which eFusjon belongs), is one of the fastest growing areas of the U.S. economy today. Just think about it for a second, people are disenchanted with corporate America today, most are now awakened to the reality of the lack of any real job security like we used to dream about, and simultaneously, today it’s possible for a stay at home mom or dad to build a home based business with the same level of technology and ability to communicate as any of the top corporations.

Multi-level marketing is becoming more mainstream every year and eFusjon is transforming the industry single-handedly with it’s revolutionary marketing approach that is merging good old word of mouth advertising with the viral factor of social networking online.

So is eFusjon a pyramid scheme. My conclusion is no. But is it possibly the greatest opportunity you and I may ever see in our lifetimes? Maybe.

Roofers Have a Mission

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

The Roofers Trade Organization pledged itself to a noble cause of escalating the roofing concern issues to the world forum last week. In a meeting that addressed the Roofing workers throughout 3 continents, the roofer leaders came out with immediate ambitions of wanting to spread employment and education in the field of roofing.

Knowing that roofing has grown tremendously in reputation, it seems to be the most optimum stage at which this field can be marketed. Also the current scope of roofing does a lot towards endorsing this profession as something worth spending money on.

This very conference was just the right plateau to gather steam in favor of roofers all over. After considerable amount of talk and debate suggesting that roofers deserved little more compensation than present standards, this conference is expected to do a lot for the entire roofing fraternity.

But the special part is that this entire community wants to work towards creating not only contractual but permanent jobs for roofing profession aspirants. The primary idea behind creating jobs for them is to enhance Roofers supply, abolish service-pricing differentiation and curb any imminent price wars.

The logic seems prudent enough! Considering that each one of us is wanting to see significant roofing options flood the market, this initiative is more than welcome.

Also, the fact that Home Improvement as a generic domain has really up scaled in terms of the recognition it enjoys as on date, has immensely contributed to Roofing gaining popularity. So much so, that a lot of architects have reported an increase in the number of clients showing active interest in roofing queries.

In the coming few months, this conference promises to arrange for new schools on roofing discipline. The idea behind this move is to give a global touch to this confined dream.

As a sequential step post the introduction of schools, this conference committee will aim at introducing surveys all over the existing schools and graduation houses wherein they would focus on the seriousness of spreading more job potential in this field. But natural, this initiative will take a little while to take shape and spread.

The Carboncopypro Funded Proposal And What It Could Mean For You

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Aaron Parkinson and Jay Kubassek set out to improve the lives of online marketers in late 2007 when they launched the carboncopypro turnkey marketing system. This is what they tried to do;

Cutting edge internet marketing training and tools to stay ahead of the field. A 95% automated system to save time and energy and let business owners focus on the important areas of their carboncopypro business. A top tier business investment with high earning optential. A marketing model to generate income for carboncopypro members through the funded proposal.

For established network marketers this made sense and many left their current companies to set sail with carboncopypro, recognizing that the carboncopyro business could be a more sustainable option due to the funded proposal model.

The jury is still out on funded proposals. So what could it mean for you?

Any viable marketing model will look at different stages of selling to prospects and customers and a funded proposal is just part of that stragtegy. The carboncopypro business model requires a substantial investment and the funded proposal puts in place a series of steps to generate income from those serious about the business. In simlpe terms,carboncopypro business builders are able to generate income from prosepects prior to them comiing into the business, allowing both parties to realize who is and isn’t serious.

Here is a list of four reasons why the carboncopypro funded proposal is essential to your online marketing success:

Income

Building a carboncopypro business online or any business isn’t easy and certainly isn’t cheap. The funded proposal will maintain a healthy cashflow and bring funds back into the marketing cycle where they are essential to your business building success.

Tire Kickers or Entrepreneurs

If you keep trying to cover the costs of those who hit your page and then head straight off again Google will simply run your carboncopypro bsuiness or any business into the ground. The fudned proposal simply allows you to get some of that money back and keep a healthy cashflow into your business.

Advice

The carboncopypro initial information allows potential business builders to know more about the company without having to invest seriously at this early stage.

Hype

Carboncopypro’s staged process takes the noise out of the application and with so many network marketing companies out there screaming about what they have to offer this is good news. Less noise makes more sense.

So what does all this mean? Like all business models, carboncopypro will not be for everyone. The fudned proposal will put some people on a backward footing while others will jump right into it.

How To Take Care Of Water Heaters At Home

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Every thing requires good maintenance and so does the various home appliances that we use daily so that they can serve us for long.

Water heater is a very common appliance found in almost everyone’s home. It requires regular maintenance to provide us with years of service.

Apart from providing hot water, a good maintenance program extends the life of the appliance, lowers the utility bills so saves our money and keep the water heater quiet.

The water heater basically works like this: Cold water enters at the top of the tank and flows through a plastic pipe(dip tube). The dip tube delivers the cold water to the bottom of the tank where the burners are located which heat the water to the proper temperature. The heated water rises to the top of the tank where it flows out when needed. An insulation layer keeps the water hot.

Before talking about the maintenance of the water heater, it is very important to know what are the various factors that can damage it. Above all culprits, corrosion presents the biggest threat to a water heater.

Sediment build-up is the second biggest culprit. It reduces the efficiency. It is also is a breeding ground for bacteria that can be harmful and sediment can cause the rumbling noises.

Some important steps that should be taken in order to maintain your water heaters are: The anode rod is responsible for the corrosion of the water heater so it should be inspected annually. Regularly flush your tank to remove built up sediment that resides at the bottom of your tank.

It is also very important to keep a check on the controller of the water heater and if it fails to measure the temperature accurately, it will cause the water temperature to vary erratically. So it is recommended to get it replaced. So can always hire a professional plumber to get these worn out parts replaced and they are also helpful for the regular checks of the equipment.

Lights Jazz It Up

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Home, this word represents the world of any and every person. Home is the place where we live with our near and dear ones, our families and share our happiness as well as our tears.

In order to make the house look more exquisite, people do take help of the various professionals for giving the house a specific look. Out of the various ways adopted by the people to change the look of the house, the most popular one is that of using the lighting systems to enhance and give the house a completely different look.

There are quite a lot of lighting systems that are available in the market ranging from wall sconces to chandeliers to lanterns and lamps that can be installed in the house with the help of the electricians.

Since a chandelier is a must for our living room, we hired a local electrician to help us buy and install a grand chandelier. Our primary concern was that the chandelier should enhance the beauty of our living room, yet should not pinch our humble pocket.

There were a plethora of options available in the market. We liked the one that was made of Persian glasses and had a Persian craftsmanship written all over it. Installing it in our living room was a tough task though bringing it to our house was easy.

Tying the chandelier to a strong cord first, the electrician pulled it up the hook on the ceiling from where it would be hanging. To the metal hook was fitted for this purpose, he tied the chandelier after pulling it up.

Now came the wiring part. The connecting wires were extended from the nearest electrical outlet. After that, he connected it to the main bulb holder from where the power connection for rest of the small bulbs would be distributed.

Once the main connection was established, the remaining small bulb connections also were fitted in a matter a minutes. Then all the bulbs were fitted into its respective holders. A Persian kings palatial court ” that was what our living room changed into once the switch was on and the chandelier was lit up.

1 Free Marketing Method To Attract Customers To Your Website - A Basic Guide To Article Marketing

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Sometimes getting involved in marketing on the internet there is ssssooooo much information that you can feel a little overwhelmed.

I signed up for a few marketing lessons, but it was all too much for me to take in. There were video tutorials, blueprints galore and extras clogging my inbox I almost couldnt think straight!

I knew I had a really great business opportunity, but without the cashflow to compete in the advertising world I almost gave up straight away.

But I decided to stick at it and try and wade through all the information to separate the credible from the crap.

So, what you want to do is generate traffic to your website. Attract visitors and encourage them to read through all your information and then purchase your product or enter some details so you can get in touch with them.

I personally ask people to opt-in, so I can capture their phone number and email and then send them more information.

But I had to think outside the box. How did I expect to attract people to my site if I didn’t have lots of money to spend on Google and niche marketing campaigns? Easy! Even though I didn’t have the cashflow I did have TIME! Most people think to start making money you need money and while that makes things a bit easier it doesn’t mean you can’t leverage what you do have. Just think about what you’re doing right this minute - You’re reading my article, which is a very FREE and EASY way of marketing online.

I am definitely not Shakespeare, so don’t worry if you think “I’m not very good at writing” because the great thing about the Internet is that people aren’t interested in that sort of thing. They just want succinct and easy to read snippets of information. ARTICLE MARKETING is a FREE and SILENT Marketing Weapon!

So what’s so great about Article Marketing? Well, it promotes your product and opportunity out amongst the online world and it also helps boost your rankings on Google.

Be consistent in writing lots of articles. Personally I wrote about 3-5 per week in the beginning and now just sporadically, but you could be writing that many per day or MORE!

You want to write about things that you know about and what interests you. My company offers an online home business opportunity, so I aim to attract people by writing about things that will help them if they are looking at that sort of thing. By reading my articles hopefully people will be attracted to me because they can see I’d be a great mentor to team up with and follow.

And … finally have fun with it and always remember KISS - “Keep It Simple Stupid” Its a well known marketing tactic, so follow the advice and have a go!

So, whats the truth about generating leads for your network marketing business and what methods can you use to pull the carpet from beneath your competitors feet at no cost at all?

YouTube is the a great social networking platform and with its own built in search facility and community voting anything you put on YouTube has the potential to go viral in no time at all if you know what to do. So how do you maximize video marketing?

It all starts with your choice of good, targeted keywords and I use wordtracker but there are others out there that will help you to get the right words to add tags to your video content to make sure it gets found.

Content is what will make or break your video submission. Thats what its all about after all. If you’re on a limited budget and can’t afford to spend a fortune on production use a tool like windows movie maker, add some music to the intro and use the channels editing tools to add annotations and brand your site.

Once you have your content you then need to distribute it and tools like Traffic Geyser and Tube Mogul are great for adding punch to your submission strategy. Yes, they will cost something initially but the investment is worth it.

Article Marketing

Article marketing is a great way to build powerful back-links to your website and to create a professional network marketing profile online. Again, content is king so add value or your efforts will go unseen. There are literally hundreds of article submission sites where you can distribute your work and companies who will do this work for you if you have the funds to invest, so don’t think you have to do it all on your own.

US Free Ads

This step requires massive action but can result in major FREE lead generation for your network marketing business. There are hundreds of places you can place free ads online at no cost at all and if you make the time to do this on a regular and consistent basis as part of your marketing campaign you will start to see results. How big depends on your level of activity so the sooner you get started the sooner you will begin to reap the rewards.

Get out there and start to build your network marketing business!

Use Drop-Shipping to Increase Profits

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

One of the coolest concepts I ever stumbled upon on the internet was that of drop shipping. Drop shipping is where you put up a website, drive customers to it, take the orders and then have the wholesaler or manufacturer send the product DIRECTLY to the customer from their warehouse.

Contrast that with another technique, affiliate marketing. When you recommend products to your customers, you send them an e-mail that contains an affiliate link - one that takes them directly to a website where they can purchase the product. You get a commission from each sale.

But a lot can go wrong. The customer may not make it to that site. Also, you have no control over what that site looks like, or changes made to that site or how your customer will navigate around on that site. The biggest problem is the fact that you are not collecting the money to ensure you get paid!

Drop-shipping, on the other hand, saves you money, while letting you retain complete control over your own website. You have no shipping costs, no inventory to store or count. It’s as close as you can get to having free products to sell online! Just think of what you could sell using drop-shipping:

* Home-based giftware

* Gemstones

* Scrap booking supplies

* Fabric and upholstery drop-shipping

* Cast iron banks

* Home security products

And this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Drop-shipping is a wonderful option - if you can find a wholesaler or manufacturer willing to play along. Many don’t want the hassle. Scam artists working online will disguise themselves as “internet malls” or “buying clubs”, pretending to be wholesalers in order to take your money. Make sure you work with a reputable company.

Chris Malta can help you find a reputable company. His drop-ship Source Directory lists wholesalers and manufacturers that offer drop-shipping services. His company screens new drop-shippers, researching each and every listing. You get a world of drop-shippers at your fingertips.

Better yet, you get access to over three million products - three million name-brand products and specialty items which you could sell on your website, helping you to make amazing profits with your online business.

Drop-shipping is a great way to increase your profits, keep more money for yourself, and reduce the risks of running a business. Try it for your website today!
