Pre Paid Legal Associates - Write & Grow Rich In Your Network Marketing Business Opportunity
December 16, 2008

There is a tremendous opportunity for Pre-Paid Legal
Associates to build their network marketing organization using internet
marketing strategies and tactics. Very few distributors are using these
approaches in Pre-Paid Legal.
There is one approach in particular that really has great potential particularly
with Pre-Paid Legal Services due to the nature of the business model. Why there
are so few associates doing it is beyond me!
It's called
article marketing and you can use it to
literally EXPLODE your Pre-Paid Legal business.
What is Article Marketing & Why Is It So Power For Pre-Paid Legal?
Article marketing is an internet network marketing strategy where you create
articles about various topics. These articles get promoted on the internet on a
wide variety of web sites.
At the end of each article you include what is called a Resource Box. This is
where you write a brief description of who you are and what you have to offer.
In other words, this is where you are able to promote your Pre-Paid Legal
business.
If you are a decent writer and you are able to compose articles on your own,
article marketing can literally be a free strategy that you use to build your
Pre-Paid Legal Services business opportunity.
If you don't write well, you will have to invest some money to have someone
create articles for you. However, that investment can produce a significant
return on investment in the months and years to come.
When people read your article, they also read your resource box. If they are
interested, they click on it and visit your web site. What makes this powerful
for Pre-Paid Legal is now you have prospects who are already interested in what
you have to offer to talk to about the services you offer and the business
opportunity.
The Unique Position Pre-Paid Legal Services Has For Article Internet
Marketing
Pre-Paid Legal Service is in a very unique position in terms of a business opportunity. This position
makes it the PERFECT business opportunity to promote through the use of article
marketing.
Unlike many network marketing companies that offer simpler products like soap,
vitamins and health drinks, Prepaid Legal offers a very complicated product that
can be used for a wide variety of reasons.
Because of the complicated nature of the product there is a seemingly UNLIMTED
amount of topics to write about to promote your Pre-Paid Legal business.
For instance, take the legal plan. Foreclosures are at an all time high right
now. Many people are hiring attorneys and spending hundreds if not thousands of
dollars to get advice on how they should deal with their bank to avoid
foreclosure.
With a Pre-Paid Legal membership, these very same people can get access to these
attorneys for at minimum a 25% discount and best case scenario, for nothing more
than the monthly membership fee.
Don't you think if they knew about the Pre-Paid Legal membership and how it
could help them with foreclosures, they would buy it? Of course they would!
You could write an article about foreclosures and talk about how important it is
to have an attorney assist them with the process. In your resource box you can
mention that you are an independent associate with Pre-Paid Legal Services, a
company that offers a plan that provides affordable access to attorneys.
People looking for foreclosure information will come across your article, click
on it, read it, see your link and come looking for you to buy Pre-Paid Legal
from.
AmeriPlan Corporation offers discount medical and dental
programs for individuals and families. The company also offers a
network marketing business
opportunity where you can become an independent business owner and build an
organization marketing AmeriPlan's products.
AmeriPlan Product Overview
AmeriPlan does not offer insurance. Instead, they offer a discounted fee for
services program. By becoming a member you get access to AmeriPlan's
nationwide network of millions of medical providers.
Since the service is not insurance you aren't covered for certain types of
illness like you are with insurance. Instead, the medical providers agree to
provide AmeriPlan members discounts off the normal price they charge to people
who don't have insurance.
The company offers a Basic Health Plan, where for $29.95 a month you get access
to medical discounts for everyone in your household. For $39.95 a month, you can
add on Dental services. For $59.95 you can add on Legal, Identity Theft and Auto
Club.
AmeriPlan Compensation Plan
AmeriPlan offers a simple compensation plan where you earn commission based on
how many members you can sign up for the various membership plans the company
offers.
The company pays advanced commissions for new members that you sign up as well
as members that your team signs up. The company also pays you a monthly residual
income for each member that maintains their membership.
The company pays 30% commission for each member you personally sign up for one
of the company's plans. You have the option to have 6 months of the membership
payments advanced to you.
For example, let's say you signed up a client for the Total Health plan, which
consists of the medical and dental plan. This plan is $39.95 a month. You would
receive a 6 month advance of $71.94. After 6 months, you would earn $11.99 each
month.
If a member cancels their plan before the advanced period expires you will be
charged back the difference in commissions. So for instance, if a member
canceled after three months, the company would deduct $23.98 out of your next
commission check.
How To Build An AmeriPlan Business Using The
Internet
There are already a number of AmeriPlan independent business owners who are
building a business using the
internet. You can do the same. The strategy is relatively the same whether
you are leading with the product or the opportunity.
If you are leading with the product, create content that illustrates the need
for AmeriPlan's services. There are plenty of people who either don't have
insurance or who are underinsured and could benefit from these plans.
If you are leading with the opportunity, provide content that helps the reader
learn how to build a business opportunity online. This way they will be
attracted to your leadership and want to join you in your AmeriPlan opportunity.
Market America and the Unfranchise Business Development
System - A Review - by Doug Mah
December 30, 2008
10:00 PM
Market America is a company built on an incredible vision. From the outside
looking in, it may look like the thousands of other
network marketing and MLM companies
out there. But upon closer examination, you will see that this company is
poised for incredible long term growth. In this article, I hope to provide you
some insight into this company, how it is creating the economy of the future,
and whether Market America should be part of your future.
Company Background
Market America was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Greensboro, North
Carolina. The company currently operates in the United States, Canada,
Australia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. It's been around a while so you know they are
a solid company. And with its global operations and expansion plans, your
opportunity will appeal to people around the world.
Most of the senior management of Market America have a background in network
marketing. Many of them have their own Market America distributorship as they
know that the big money comes not from working for Market America but building
their own businesses. They walk the walk and talk the talk.
Market America started out with a concept to provide a system for entrepreneurs
to create an ongoing income stream. The two cornerstones of this business model
are the Management Performance Compensation Plan (MPCP) and the Unfranchise
Business Development System. Before they even had products, they had these two
components in place.
The Market America Management Performance
Compensation Plan
Traditional horizontal marketing where you have a number of sales
representatives all on the same level competing against each is used by many MLM
companies. The MPCP turns this on its side with a vertical binomial system
which fosters teamwork and cooperation.
Market America's reasoning for choosing the binomial system where you can only
sponsor 2 people in width is that studies have shown that the average person can
sponsor 2.8 people. The system is set up so that the average person can
succeed. The traditional upline-downline relationship does not exist in the
MPCP except for mentoring and training. In the MPCP, the distributor can place
volume and new personally sponsored distributors below the people they bring
into the business which allows everyone in the line of sponsorship vertically to
benefit from this volume to earn commissions and bonuses.
The Unfranchise Business Development System
The Unfranchise Business Development System is the proven plan and training to
help you succeed. Like a franchise, the Unfranchise System is systemized and
standardized with a training system, provides state-of-the-art management
systems, and you can own multiple businesses. Unlike a franchise, there are no
franchise fees, monthly royalties, territorial restrictions, and you can start
part time with low startup costs. Also you can help others start their own
businesses and benefit from earning commissions from the sales they generate.
Product Brokerage
Instead of focusing on a product and then build a system around it, Market
America built the system first. This allows incredible flexibility in the
products they can offer. Instead of building their own manufacturing
facilities, Market America decided to become a product brokerage company. They
can identify the latest market-driven products and change as the market changes
and not have to rely on the sale of any one product.
Market America has approximately 2,500 exclusive products marketed under the
Market America brand. The multi-billion dollar markets you have access to
include:
Health and nutrition
Anti-aging
Cosmetics
Weight management
Personal care
Home and garden
Telecommunications
Website development
Auto care
Pet health
With these many diverse markets, you will find a niche that appeals to you and
your interests as well as products that you can enjoy.
I won't go into detail about all the products but I would like to point out a
few things that you may want to research more. Many of the nutraceuticals in
the health and nutrition product line provided by Market America use the
Isotonix delivery system which aids in the speed and level of absorption. The
anti-aging products are recommended by some of the best known doctors in the
anti-aging field. The weight management program is based around low glycemic
index eating and has been very successful for those that have tried and failed
with other weight loss programs.
The Internet and Web Portal
Market America has embraced the internet and made it an integral part of their
business plan. They have partnered with over 2,500 online partner stores to
provide over 35 million products. Market America has partnered with premiere
names like Dell, Apple, Nordstrom, Home Depot, WalMart, Best Buy, Barnes &
Noble, Gap, Nike, Circuit City, Victoria's Secret, Saks Fifth Avenue, Target,
Sears, Travelocity, and Canadian Tire to name just a few.
Market America's goal is to make its web portal the number one destination on
the internet. With its own branded products and all its partner stores, it is
becoming a one-stop shopping site. The web portal offers a Customer Reward
Program where the customer gets paid to shop. Any time a customer shops though
the portal for Market America or partner-store products, they will get maRewards
points which can be redeemed for Market America products. The beauty of this is
your customer gets rewarded for buying those products online that they were
going to buy anyway.
The web portal also offers email, blogs, rich-media content, news, weather,
sports, finance, stock, entertainment, music, games, tickets, move trailers,
social networking through maChatterbox, gift cards, etc. As part of the
entertainment site, Market America has signed exclusive deals with Celine Dion
and the Rolling Stones for their merchandise!
Google
To allow customers to search the more than 35 million products that are
available through its portal, Market America has partnered with Google. This
has been a very ambitious project for both Market America and Google as Google
has never before implemented a project of such size.
To allow customers to search the more than 35 million products that are
available through its portal, Market America has partnered with Google. This
has been a very ambitious project for both Market America and Google as Google
has never before implemented a project of such size and reach.
The system allows the customer to do comparison shopping for all the products
available through the portal. For example, a customer looking to purchase a
widescreen TV would type those words into the search box and Google would list
all widescreen TVs available at Circuit City, WalMart, Best Buy, Dell, Target,
etc. listed in price order. The customer then just clicks the best deal.
Also offered is a Unviersal Shopping Cart so that a customer ordering from
Victoria's Secret, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Nordstrom can do it all as one
transaction with one credit card charge without ever leaving the web portal.
If you haven't figured it out, this partnership between Google and Market
America is huge. Google is all about making money and one thing they didn't
have was a web portal where consumers could go online and shop. Yahoo and MSN
had their portals but Google didn't. Now they do and you can participate!
One-to-One Marketing and Building Share of
Customer
With all this high tech stuff, sometimes the customer can feel lost or
overwhelmed. Being your customers' guide, your one-to-one marketing brings high
touch to high tech and personalizes their web experience. The key is not to
sell a few products to a lot of people but to expand what you offer to your
customers as you earn their trust. This is building share of customer.
Conclusion
I hope that I have given you a glimpse of what Market America can offer you. Do
your research, talk to distributors and leaders, and go to some functions. Find
a distributor and ask them to allow you to join them for a trial run for free.
And because the business is so integrated with the internet, it would be ideal
to tie into your attraction marketing and Web 2.0 marketing activities.
There is a tremendous opportunity for Pre-Paid Legal
Associates to build their network marketing organization using internet
marketing strategies and tactics. Very few distributors are using these
approaches in Pre-Paid Legal.
