Ariix Review

Why has this new company been racing up the “fastest gainer boards” at MLMRankings.com. I had no idea but it certainly caught my eye! I dug a little deeper to provide you with this Ariix Review. Let’s find what’s been going on since May 2011…

Ah-Ha…Ariix was started by a management team that left competing MLM USANA. Not sure exactly why they left but this group has been around together for a while which bodes well for this new company. They are also an experienced group who, get this, recruited Tim Sales out of retirement to be their Master Distributor! Tim has been a top earner with NuSkin for years. Looks like Tim rallied the troops to create a ton of buzz and early launch momentum for Ariix.

No Ariix review would be complete without talking about the products. Ariix is starting up in the very competitive health and wellness niche, most likely because that is the niche the management team is familiar with. The products are all “dietary supplements” – you know the deal – made from berries and fruits we’ve never heard of before! To me, it’s really all the same with these MLM products. I’m sure they’re good for you.

OK, now the fun part of my Ariix Review…the Compensation Plan. From the looks of it, the Ariix compensation plan is a modified binary with a “multi-line” feature that is designed to help the bottom and top of the compensation plan. Interesting since the middle is where companies should focus in my humble opinion. The comp plan is called Activ8 and pays you, you guessed it…8 ways!

It costs a minimum of $200 to start an Ariix distributorship. You’ll want to join for more to maximize the comp plan.

To summarize my Ariix review, it appears the real momentum has been caused by reps fleeing USANA to join Ariix. Does this mean Ariix is better than USANA? Not at all, just that’s they’re the new kid on the block. There was a similar company that launched with tremendous hype called Bellamora that never got off the ground. I have no idea if that situation could happen here but it bears watching.

Do I think you can make money with an Ariix MLM business of your own? Of course you can. If you learn how to generate leads and sponsor new reps. After all, building a business means recruiting. If you’re looking to recruit more reps into either your Ariix business or any other MLM for that matter, I highly recommend picking up the BRAND NEW Master Sponsoring course below while it’s still available. It’s a steal and will pay you back many times over!

Ariix Review

I was on a webinar this past Monday run by Rod Stinson who shared some exciting news with all of the FamilyIQ distributors around the world. It’s been a great first year but 2012 is going to be even better!

As with any company, an annual review needs to be done to see where you can improve. This is especially true of a very young company. The following are the take aways:

• A new lower start-up price point was added for $395 that will pay, and be eligible to receive, $200 commissions. This is a great idea in my opinion as there are people who either can’t swing the $1495 “Business Builder” package or don’t have enough confidence in themselves yet. People who come in at the $395 level will have the opportunity to upgrade to the Business Builder package.

• New Sales Funnels will be created by Rod and rolled out to  the field reflecting this new lower start-up level.

• Both the company and the sales funnels are going to put the products more in the forefront. FamilyIQ has very highly respected and unique products and we all need to do a better job of marketing them.

• Due to the $395 level, the financing program has been eliminated. I am very happy about that as I never liked it!

• The $3,995 start-up level is going to be beefed up so we can market that to earn $2000 commissions. People coming in at the $1495 level will be eligible to earn the full commission on $3995 sales.

• Mark Hobbins and everyone at FamilyIQ is extremely pleased with the results from the first year and is fully behind the direct sales business model we rolled out last December.

FamilyIQ has a number of leaders in the company but has pretty much flown under the radar in the second half of 2011. It is my opinion, as a distributor, that with the revamped marketing and new lower starting price, FamilyIQ will put themselves firmly on the Top Tier Home Business map in 2012!

If you’re on my blog, you are most likely involved, in one way or the other, in the direct selling industry. This includes direct sales, network marketing, MLM, top-tier, and any other name for it that I may have left out lol!

I found this Wall Street Journal supplement on my friend April Marie Tucker’s blog. Download it below, save it to your computer or print it out, and read it. It’ll help you realize that we’re working in a very respected industry that is growing by leaps and bounds. We are all in the right place at the right time! Enjoy!

I was listening to an interview with industry leader Ray Higdon who has coined the phrase “Suckville” to describe a place where most people who get involved in network marketing reside (and never leave by the way). I love the phrase, and agree with Ray’s philosophy, so I wanted to share some of this insight with you today.

As Ray describes it, Suckville is where everybody starts out when they decide to get involved in network marketing – especially online. This is where you have no idea what you should do first, you’re receiving emails about every 4 seconds from someone trying to sell you something, and the idea of making money at this seems overwhelming and impossible. Your initial enthusiasm is sucked from you and your left bitter and angry because you can’t seem to get anything to work and everything is confusing.

You know what I mean…how do you set up a system, what’s a sales funnel, how do you generate leads, how do you get somebody to buy from you, etc. You start to think that everything’s a scam and that nothing works. All these people saying they’re making tons of money are liars who just prey on the average person.

The problem in Suckville is that most people are out for the Quick Buck. The majority of people never get out of Suckville because they make a choice to NOT implement any long range marketing plans to lay the foundation for their business and future success. Instead, they chase anything that promises FAST money and that is supposedly easy or even takes no work at all! This is the mistake the majority of people who get involved in network marketing make. The vast majority of people who get started never even get to the point that they are generating leads on a daily basis. This is due to having a “short-term mindset”, which is the exact opposite of what you need.

The fact is that starting any business takes work and it takes time. If you were to start a conventional “storefront” business, where you had to lay out $100k or more to get started, you obviously wouldn’t be in profit the first day you open your doors. In fact, you most likely won’t be in profit for your first couple of years. Starting a network marketing business is really no different, except that it doesn’t cost anywhere near $100k to get started!

My experience tells me that to build a profitable and sustainable network marketing business, you need to first lay the groundwork or foundation. Of course, when I first got started and decided I wanted to build my business online, I initially had the same mindset as everyone else. I was sucked in by the promises of fast cash and easy money. Luckily for me, I figured out very early on that those promises where hollow and I would need to build my network marketing business like any other business.

Are You Ready To Break Out Of Suckville?

If this post resonates with you…I mean really hits home, then I highly encourage you to take the long-term view and start laying the foundation for your network marketing business so that you can REALLY break free and start building a highly successful and profitable business that will change your future for you and your family…

MLM Leads

I wanted to piggy back on my post last week regarding the advantages of using a blog pop-up to generate more MLM leads for your network marketing business. To show you how powerful using a pop-up CAN be if done properly, below is a snapshot of my Aweber account from today (12/7/11). You can’t see that I generated a total of 32 leads yesterday (5.05% of total traffic of 633 visitors – see below for my eCourse on how to convert your blog into a Lead Generation Machine!)…BUT you can see that 18 of them came from my blog pop-up! That’s 56% of my total leads!

So I wanted to lay-out how you can create a POP-UP OFFER THAT YOUR VISITORS CAN’T REFUSE:

1. Your Offer Should Be FREE (you’re goal is to generate MLM leads with your pop-up, not sales)

2. Your Offer Needs to Be FRESH (use words like “Brand New!”, “Just Updated”, “Just Released”, etc.). People like to have the latest greatest stuff!

3. If You Have Your Own Product (ie. Bootcamp, EBook, etc) that works best in my experience because people are always curious to see what others are doing.

4. IMPORTANT…Make Your Offer Very Targeted To Your Audience. For example, my target audience is network marketers so I’m not going to offer a free “Dog Training” book. While it might be the best dog training book in the world, it won’t generate a ton of leads from my visitors because they’re network marketers looking for “network marketing information”.

It’s pretty much that simple. Test your message to see what pulls best. As I mentioned in my previous post on “Success with Pop-Ups” that you can read HERE, I recommend setting your pop-up delay to 5 seconds (it waits 5 seconds before displaying your ad to your visitor). It’s increased my MLM Leads generation since I implemented it.

Here’s my current Pop-Up by the way:

Automated Money Machine

Today I wanted to provide you with a completely unbiased Automated Money Machine Review. This program is in the “Top Tier Direct Sales” niche of the home based business industry. I am a fan of the direct sales business model and know a few people who are involved in this business personally so I figured I’d take a closer look for you.

The Automated Money Machine has been around for about 3 years now and was started by home business and internet entrepreneur Rob Abrams. An internet search shows that Rob was involved in Cash Gifting up until around 2008 before starting the Automated Money Machine (which is not a Cash Gifting program by the way). There’s some negative stuff but you need to always take that with a grain of salt. The people who are screaming “scam” are usually just those who didn’t make any money with a particular program and are angry (at themselves really!).

What is the Automated Money Machine?

It’s a direct sales business that appeals to entrepreneurs looking to make big commissions from home right out of the box. The cost of entry is $500 – $20,000 (YES, $20k!). Most people, according to the website, join for $3.500.

Here are the levels:

BRONZE: $500
SILVER: $2000
GOLD: $3500
PLATINUM: $6500
DIAMOND: $12000
ELITE: $20000

When joining, you will also need to pay a small admin fee so Rob Abrams can make his money!

AND, right now they are running a promotion where if you come in at the $3,500 level or higher you will get grandfathered in at the next level. For example, if you join and pay $3,500 you will actually be qualified at the $6,500 level. Since you need to be qualified at any given level to earn at that level this is a nice bonus. In addition, they are waiving the 1-Up if you join at least at the $3,500. What this means is that you will not need to pass-up your first sale.

What are the Automated Money Machine products?

The products are digital software and ebooks for marketing training and education. I have not personally had access to the products so I cannot tell you if they are junk or quality information. These products are what keeps the program from being a “Cash Gifting” program. This is completely legal and how many “top tier” programs are set up.

Can you make money with The Automated Money Machine?

To sum up this Automated Money Machine review, you can definitely make money with this business. But, you’ll need to work and it’s not truly automated. I think that’s where some people get annoyed but, honestly, did you really think you’d be able to make a 6-figure income without working for it?

The Webinar sales approach is a proven winner in the top tier industry. The key is getting enough traffic to your website. If you just have a website but no traffic, that won’t do you any good. You need to either pay for or learn HOW to generate leads of people looking to start a home based business. My recommendation is to learn HOW to generate leads because then you’ll never have to worry about leads again. PLUS, you can generate tons of highly qualified and targeted leads for FREE if you know how.
