Have you seen any good movies lately?  If you have would you recommend the movie to a friend?  If they were good friends they probably would go see the movie just on your recommendation wouldn’t they?  Sure they would; because they trust your judgment.

Now imagine if someone as world-renowned and powerfully influential as the Pope were to recommend something it would be even more credible than a friend wouldn’t it?… Of course it would, that’s why people all over the world follow his advice.  Well that’s exactly what just happened!…In a recent USA Today article titled: “ Pope to Priests: Go forth and Blog” the Pope urges priests to use all multi-media tools at their disposal including blogs and websites to preach the gospel.

If you’ve ever had any doubts as to the power and effectiveness of blogging as one of the “key” tools you should use to succeed in your business this highest of recommendations should lay them to rest.    – Dave Puckett

What do you think?  ~ Mark

Yes this business has given me some freedom.  I said some freedom because I haven’t  become rich yet and I still work a primary job, but I don’t live paycheck to paycheck anymore!
This network marketing  business does provide me enough extra money per month to make a big difference in my life – all this from only part time effort!  One thing I have noticed though… my success is not isolated.  I know many who are making enough to make their car payment, or the mortgage payment each month.  I think for those who are looking to get rich fast this probably won’t  be interesting for them, however if you are one of those who want to reduce the stress of living paycheck to paycheck give network marketing a try.  – Dave Puckett

If you are in a business, what benefit do you notice for yourself?  ~ Mark

If you think your best chances of success is getting a college degree and you can write your own ticket… you better think again!  According to a recent New York Times article more than 4,600 lawyers lost their jobs last year. Gone are the times when all that was needed to succeed in life is get a college degree.

NY Times further related the concerns of a fifth-year associate in a law firm in Manhattan who complained he now feels he is expendable even though he is a top performer, billing many hours and a team player but even with this he may still lose his job. He is a Yale graduate at a top-20 firm.  One 2008 graduate of a top-10 law school who worked at a large Chicago firm for a year admitted she spent days trying to look busy as business dried up while not billing a single hour; before being laid off last fall along with a quarter of the other first-year hires.

“Plenty of recent law school graduates are not finding work at all” “Some partners say that the next generation of law graduates may have to expect less from a legal career.” said Eileen C. Travis, the director of the New York City bar association’s lawyer assistance program.

Our American way of life has changed, first by the rapidly diminishing middle class due to the fall of factory workers across the nation and now as you can see even the high-class elite’s troubles in earning a good living. For those workers all across the nation who still have jobs, employers are making those jobs harder and paying less money for them.  What’s the solution? well you probably have heard where one door closes another one opens and it’s still true today.  Supplement your income with a home-based business. There’s nothing you can do about how the American workforce is changing but this is still America and we all still have the freedom to start a business of our own.  In the past only “traditional” businesses were viable and very few people could start one because of the huge start-up capital required.  However low-cost home-based businesses have been available for many years but our culture’s mass perception of this business was to laugh it off as a viable option believing because it could be started with so small an investment that it couldn’t possibly produce a substantial income.  So the people who worked these home-based businesses quietly earned significant second incomes, many made fortunes.

Today home-based businesses are not being laughed at anymore, there is a huge, and ever-increasing number of people starting, working, and earning substantial second incomes to supplement their primary jobs.  Many people make enough to quit their primary “traditional” jobs and just work their business. And even better news is that the number of home-based businesses continue to grow and require even less money to start than before providing an even better opportunity for the masses to supplement their incomes. How about you…are you still laughing?

A sobering reality indeed ~ Mark

If you’re a newbie to online business social networking may be a new technique to you, even if you’re a veteran you’ve no doubt heard all the buzz about it due to it’s widespread popularity.  Well it’s only popular because it works! … what?  Yes I said it works but will any social networking program work for you?  Sorry but the “honest” answer to that question is  NO.   Why?  Because the systems out there were developed to make system owners wealthy not you… and you have to pay “them” a monthly fee just to use “their” system to make “them” more money to promote “their” products.

Do you see a pattern on who really benefits here?

Sure they will pay you a commission for getting these sales for them but how does that help
your business?  It doesn’t.
Unfortunately people don’t find this out until they pay the monthly fees and sometimes fees to promote the products too.  These products are called “affiliate” products and they can produce some immediate cash flow, but the truth is you can promote affiliate products for free and use a social networking program that is also free.  There are many affiliate programs that you can join for free that produce significant commissions.
The bottom line is that you should use a Social Networking program that promotes “Your”
business and passively promote a few affiliate products for extra cash at the same time.  – Dave Puckett
