Well, not really.

Before you get all giddy and rush out and trade your precious silver and gold bullion for depreciating paper dollars, shrug the overwhelming brightness of the bills and examine the real facts behind the sudden hype. Here are 5 reasons why you should invest in gold and silver.

Reason #1: The Weak Economy Is NOT Getting Any Stronger

Retail sales over the past few months were depressing. Wal-Mart’s 3% same-store sales growth came in way below expectations. But yes, Costco’s results were pleasingly up to 10%. But, when you dig into the small details, you will discover that the reason behind that growth was the increase in gasoline sales. Ignore those figures and the sales were up for only 6%, less than consensus estimates.

Reason #2: The Employment Scene Is Depressing

Jobless claims rose to more than half a million (455,000). That is from 488,000 the week before. Those figures got up as job cuts by U.S. employers increased last month. The U.S. has now lost jobs for seven straight months and the unemployment rate is at a four-year high.

Reason #3: Financial Markets Are Still Shaky

Most mortgage giants missed earnings estimates by a wide margin, reported huge losses and trimmed down their dividends. Some of these mortgage tycoons even have a negative equity position. Meaning, shareholders would get nothing if these firms do not pay down all of its debts and sell its assets.

Reason #4: The Housing Market Has NOT Calmed

Mortgage delinquencies are getting sever. Mortgages that were issued during the first half of 2007 now have a delinquency rate of .91%. The delinquency rate for the year before that was just 0.33%.

Reason #5: Inflation Is Coming – And It May Be Hyper

The economic monster named inflation is alive and well. The consumer price index (CPI) is up to 5% through June. That is already the largest increase ever recorded in history since 1991. But that statistic is even far worse that it appears.

During the times of Pres. Reagan and Clinton, the way that rising inflation was measure was changed to lower the official rate. So if you calculate the same CPI in the same way that it was calculated in 1980, you would have to add 7% to whatever the published figure is. That would mean that the real and factual rate of inflation is a running 12%.

Remember that throughout history we have seen paper money (aka “fiat currency” or “greenbacks”) lose its value. But these precious metals – silver and gold – have survived war, inflation, deflation, recession and depression. Silver and gold bullion are truly your safest investment if you realize their true value.

I bet you’re itching to tell me about your excitement in this investment opportunity you probably haven’t thought of, so leave a comment cause I’d like to share with you some more information…

At some point today, please take a few minutes to reflect what you’re thankful for. I’m thankful to have a wife that loves me, a great house, my health, great friends, a successful mindset, a very nice residual income at only 31 years old, great investment portfolio, the Saints and of course, the fried turkey I’m going to get today!

What are YOU thankful for?

Comments always appreciated = )

1. Product: An MLM company has products which it sells. These might be physical products like juices and pills or services like VoIP and energy supply, but there is something tangible to be sold. In a pyramid scheme, there is no product. People simply join a pyramid scheme by paying money and bring in other people who join by paying in money but there is no product involved. Some critics have classified MLM companies which sell products based on the fact that a large percentage of the products are consumed by the distributors themselves. However, the fact still is that there is a product. If you find that the company is asking you to join and if there is no product involved, you can be sure it is a pyramid scheme.

2. Equal opportunity: An MLM Company provides an equal opportunity to all its distributors to earn money. It does not matter when you start or at what level you start, you can still earn the dollars. It is not so in a pyramid scheme. The whole purpose of the pyramid scheme is to make the guys at the top of the pyramid rich while those at the bottom of the pyramid are not making any money. So while evaluating a home business, you need to talk to many other distributors to find out how much money they are making or is it that only a few at the top are getting richer at the expense of others.

3. Legal: Pyramid schemes are illegal by law while MLM companies are not. MLM companies have huge offices and it is easy to reach people who are working in their corporate offices while it is difficult to get to talk to someone in the top of the pyramid.

If you consider these 3 criteria, you will be easily able to make out whether a company is a pyramid scheme or a valid MLM company.

XanGo Online Resources: XanGo has been in the MLM business since many years and has also spread its operations globally. It also offers a rich set of resources online for its distributor community. Firstly, there is the back office set up which allows you to track your personal sales and downline details. I recommend that you go through all these resources including the sales tools, the business guide which explains the nuts and bolts of this industry. There is a whole lot of training material available which you can go through and also help your downline to go through. Other resources like the XanGo Blog, XanGo Photos, and XanGo TV are also pretty useful.

Qualify for promotions: When you begin your XanGo journey, you join as a representative and as you keep meeting the qualifying requirements including personal sales, number of personally sponsored distributors and group volume, you can keep getting promoted to higher levels which can help you earn more commissions. The first aim should be to get new customers for your XanGo products. The next step would be to convert them into preferred customers which are willing to purchase the products on automatic delivery system. Finally, you should aim to get some of them to join you as full time or part time representatives. Your growth depends on the quality of relationships you are able to build with your customers and prospects.

Online Marketing: Although the XanGo business can be promoted effectively through the traditional network marketing means, many representatives are going online to promote their business. Going to the internet to generate leads and customers is quite advantageous since you can reach out to people beyond your close circle of friends and relatives. Using techniques like keyword research and writing informative articles, you can reach to exactly those people who are interested in health products and a business opportunity with it. You already have XanGo website to which you can drive traffic through these online marketing efforts.

When you combine all the 3 things above – the traditional marketing push, the online marketing tools and the resources given to you by XanGo, you will achieve a high synergy which can help to massively promote your XanGo business.

• Retail profits: The philosophy is simple. You purchase the products at wholesale prices which are a lot cheaper than retail prices and then sell the products at retail prices. You make a profit which is yours to keep. Basically, you need to direct your customers to purchase the products from your personal XanGo website. All such sales are automatically logged under your name and the profit is accrued to you.

• Power Start: This is nothing but a fast start bonus which is paid to the distributor to reward him for his initial sales. If you are able to get a minimum of 100 PV of sales within the first 30 days of becoming a XanGo distributor, you are eligible for this Power Start Bonus of 20%. However, if you are able to get a customer on automatic delivery program of 1 case of XanGo products, you can earn 30% commission. The Power Start bonus is only given up to a maximum of 1000 PV of sales.

• Unilevel commissions: XanGo pays out 50% of all commissionable volume of the sales every month. 47% is paid through 9 compressed levels and 3% is paid through a global bonus pool. Depending on your rank in the hierarchy, you are paid commissions up to a different level in your downline. If you are just a XanGo representative, you receive 5% of your 1st and 2nd level downline. When you move to a preferred representative, and finally to a premier position, you receive commissions up to 9 levels deep.

• Bonus Pools: If you qualify as a Premier Representative or above, then you are eligible for a share of this pool. This is 3% of all commissionable volume every month. The qualifying criteria include a combination of personal sales, minimum group volume, and minimum personally sponsored distributors.

I believe that the above plan is one of the simplest in the industry and very achievable and therefore it attracts thousands of people to join as representatives. And combined with the fact that XanGo offers a great range of quality products, the XanGo opportunity is quite profitable.

Today, the company has over a million distributors selling these products worldwide. Along with Robert Conlee, the CEO and Craig Hale, the President, the management team consists of Beverly Hollister, Brian Carmack, Larry MacFarlane, Nate Brown, Rob Spangler and Scott Smith. Robert Conlee has extensive experience in leading network marketing companies having worked with companies like Nu Skin.

XanGo Products

There are 6 major products of XanGo, the XanGo juice being the flagship product. However, there are products in the skin care segment also.
• Xango juice: This is a dietary supplement which contains high concentrations of naturally occurring phytonutrients like flavonoids, catechins and xanthones. Consuming 1 to 3 ounces of this whole food supplement a day is enough to support the immune system, tackle free radicals, support bones and tissues, and maintain overall health.
• Formula X51: This is the code name of a new complementary product to the XanGo juice and which is going to be launched in Sept 2009. It is basically a energy food which addresses the problems of stress, depression, physical and mental lethargy. It is being positioned as a “feel great” supplement.
• Glimpse Skin Care: This is a range of skin care products like cleansers, toners, serums and moisturizing lotions and creams, prepared exclusively to take advantage of the anti-aging properties of mangosteen. The proprietary formula called the BioActive X3 Complex contains a blend of xanthones which are essential for skin care. Another related product is the mangosteen pericarp oil which is beneficial for skin healing and restoration.
• XanGo Goodness Meal Pack: This is an innovative product which is targeted for people who are malnourished and who cannot digest regular food. This is a meal replacement pack which is in the powder form and consumed by mixing it with water.

XanGo also has a lucrative compensation plan which continues to attract distributors from around the world. Taking the lead of XanGo, many other MLM Companies have introduced products containing mangosteen. However, XanGo remains the leader.

• Training: When you recruit another distributor to your team and company, you are responsible to train him in the business and guide him to become successful. One of the advantages of online network marketing systems is that the complete training is an automated process. There are detailed videos and trainings that help the new distributor learn the system. In addition, you can add in your own training sessions regarding your specific MLM business. This will go a long way in helping you train your downline effectively. You can add in your personal touch whenever required but most of the training can go on self learning mode.

• List building: Such systems allow you to build your personal lists using squeeze pages which help to capture the visitor’s email id. In fact you get a choice of several squeeze pages from which you can select the ones which suit your business. The system also comes with an auto responder with high quality pre-composed messages which can be sent to your list members as soon as they opt-in. these messages will take the prospect through the sales funnel and eventually make him a customer or a distributor.

• Multiple business support: If you have more than one network marketing business to promote, these systems can help you to set up the marketing funnel for individual business. You can maintain different lists for each business and set up a different series of auto responder messages for each. Alternatively, you can set up different funnels for different product lines of the same MLM Company.

• Cash in advance: Most network marketers need cash to advertise their business. But unless, they do some business, they cannot earn cash. This can become a chicken and egg situation but with these online network marketing systems, you get an opportunity to earn cash in advance before you recruit your first distributor. This is done through selling affiliate products to your prospects.

I see a lot of benefits in investing in an automated online network marketing system and if you want to choose one, you should do some research to find out the best one.

1. Website: The website is the basic requirement if you want to market online. This is your home on the internet where you invite guests and prospects. Many MLM companies are nowadays providing a replicated website for their distributors, which also help them to track and monitor the sales and the downline of their distributors. However, since all distributors would get the same website, you will not be able to stand out. Therefore, it is a good idea to develop a new site. Alternatively, a blog will serve the purpose. You can get a free blog on blogger.com or a hosted blog with wordpress.org.

2. Products: Once you have put in your site or a blog, you need to put in the product information in the form of pages on your site. If you are using a company replicated website, the product details will already be mentioned on it including presentations and videos. However, if you are having your own site or blog, you will need to add in the product information of your MLM Company. It is a better idea to put this information in the form of articles and videos which will attract the visitors.

3. Advertisement: If you want to attract visitors to your site, you will need to advertise your business. This can be done in several ways both free and paid. Free methods include traffic exchanges, safe lists, article marketing, ezines and video marketing. The most effective way to advertise is to first build your personal brand in your industry as an expert and then as a side effect, you will find people getting attracted to your MLM business.

4. Targeting: The internet is a great medium to attract people but you should attract only those who are interested, not the casual reader. This means targeting the appropriate audience. For this, you need to use techniques like search engine optimization, keyword optimization, categorization, social bookmarking, tagging your articles and videos and several other techniques.

If you are able to do these 4 things, you will be able to easily grow your MLM business online.

If you are an AIM member, you have chosen a company with a great track record for close to 3 decades and which has made hundreds of distributors successful. To be one of the top producers at AIM, you need to get hold of the health philosophy of the company in detail and also understand the way to increase business condensed in the formula USSBT.

Firstly, you should learn about the healthy cell concept which aims to build the body’s health right from the level of the cells. You should also understand how the AIM products target the various systems in the body including immune system, digestive systems, cardiac system and specific requirements of men, women and senior people. Then you should learn the business growth system encapsulated as USSBT – use, share, sponsor, build and teach – using which you can attract leads and build relationships with them so that they become customers and distributors for the company.

Some of the positives of the AIM companies include a strong support network in the sense that you can get access to any information you want about the products and the sales whenever you require. You are also provided with substantial training to get you off to a flying start. In addition, the company also provides you with a tracking facility to learn about the performance of your downline. This can be very important if you want meet targets and to grow your business.

These days, many network marketers are looking to the internet to generate leads and customers for their businesses. This might also be a good option for you since you are able to reach out to targeted people via the internet and those need not be in your close circle of known people. The internet can become a fully automated way of developing your business once you set up your systems.

To me the AIM companies’ MLM opportunity seems to be decent one. If you are interested in becoming an AIM member, you should get started in learning about the company and make your own decision.

Joining the AIM opportunity is easy. It just needs a $25 one time initial membership fee which can be waived if you purchase AIM products worth 50BV. As an AIM member, you can order products at wholesale prices and sell them at retail prices earning a retail profit. If you order in bulk, you can make an additional saving of 10-12%. Express customer prices, however, are 30% more than wholesale prices. Your business grows as you share these products with interested people and when interested people join the opportunity when they see the earning potential.

As an AIM Member, you are eligible for a Smart Start bonus of 20% when you sponsor a new member who places an order with the company. As you keep meeting qualifying requirements of sales, you are moved up the company ladder. You grow first to a preferred member, then to a product consultant, group builder, associate director, and finally a director. At each level, you earn more percentage of the sales of your team members. For instance, at the consultant level, you earn 9% commissions of your personally sponsored members and 6% from other members in your downline; while at the director level, you earn 18% commission from all the members in your downline at the level of ‘members’.

Beyond the director level, there are 4 levels of promotion – star sapphire director, royal emerald director, blue diamond director and chairman’s club director. Great network marketing companies always have in place a leadership bonus to reward exceptional performers. The AIM companies also have 3 such leadership bonuses – the director growth bonus pool, director 3-deep bonus pool and elite leadership bonuses.

The company has a devised a success formula for its distributors which it dubs as the USSBT – use AIM products, share them through contacts and advertising, sponsor others to build the network, build long term relationships with your prospects and customers and teach others to replicate the model.

In addition, there are the company sponsored seminars and conventions which are ideal places to connect with other AIM distributors and learn from them. The compensation plan of AIM companies is stable and proven through years of operation and is one of the better ones in the industry.

The basic nutrition philosophy of AIM is based on the Healthy Cell concept which claims that health should start at the cell level and is composed of five factors – cell exercise, cell protection, cell environment, cell food and a healthy mental attitude. The company advises a 3 step formula for healthy living – eliminate poor lifestyle choices and switch to AIM products; nourish the body with exercises, rest, water and consume AIM’s whole food and replenish the body with specific nutritional supplements.

AIM products address the complete health requirements of the body by designing different products for specific needs of the body and age groups of people. For instance, Aim Frame Essentials is a product for body frame health, Aim Cell Sparc 360 is meant for cardiac health, Aim Flora Food improves digestive health, Aim Herbal Release is for immune system health, Aim Gingko Sense is for neural health, and Aim Barley Life is for overall health. Aim also manufactures and markets a range of personal care products such as shampoos, conditioners, soaps and lotions.

Aim has sponsored in various fields athletes who have made a name for themselves and the Aim products. For instance, J R Celski won 5 medals at the Vienna World short track speed-skating championships. Aim has also sponsored Martin Benning to climb the highest summits in seven continents to become the youngest cancer survivor to accomplish this feat.

Aim offers a lucrative network marketing opportunity for independent entrepreneurs to take up and achieve their dreams of financial independence. There are many advantages in becoming an AIM member since you can earn commissions on sales made personally and by your team, and also build an organization with other people who are serious about health and wealth. If you do not intend to become a member but just want to be a customer, you can choose to be an express customer who can get substantial discounts when you purchase on a regular basis.

Today there are over a hundred thousand members for AIM companies and thousands of customers which are loyal users of the AIM products. A good range of products, good support and a sustained business model is what makes the AIM business opportunity attractive.

• Nutrition: The wellness industry is soon going to become a trillion dollar industry and therefore it is attracting a whole host of companies every year. These companies usually market nutritional drinks, meal replacement products, shakes and bars which help to improve the health of body and mind. This category also includes a variety of weight management products, energy drinks and sports nutrition products. There are old and established companies like Usana and Herbalife International as well as new entrants like eFusjon and Vemma.

• Personal Care: This is a popular segment with women and includes a whole variety of cosmetic products including shampoos and conditioners for hair care, lotions and crèmes for body care, moisturizers and creams for face care and the most popular being anti-aging products. Many companies that offer nutritional products also offer personal care products since it makes for a profitable combination. Companies in this segment include Ultra Selects, Herbalife International, Melaleuca and others.

• Household Items: This category is also a popular category since many people use these products on the recommendations of their friends and neighbors. These include glass and surface cleaners, water purifiers, bedding, covers, decorative items and other products. Companies like Zoegetics, EcoQuest International, At Home America and others are well known in this category. There are other companies like Close to my heart, Creative memories and Heritage makers which offer scrap booking products and photo albums.

• Services: There are a number of companies that offer services and sell them through network marketing. These include companies like Ambit Energy and Ignite Energy which sells energy plans at low cost to consumers and Global Verge and 5Linx which sell telecommunications services like VoIP and call benefits.

• Unique: Companies like Numis Network which market coin collections and iJango which markets shopping websites are examples of companies with some unique network marketing products.

If you are searching for a network marketing company, make sure you select one whose products you would like to sell.

1. The ability to generate leads: Whatever assurances your up line distributors might give you about helping you to generate leads, it is you who has to work to get leads for your organization. There are 2 types of leads – one that become customers and others that become distributors like you. Traditionally, people have focused on approaching friends and family to join but this approach has its limitations. Therefore the new age network marketers are turning to the internet to target the audience they want and attract leads for their business.

2. The ability to develop trust: This is the most important quality of a network marketer. It does not matter how great the company is or how great the products are, the prospective distributor does not join the company because he like the products or the compensation plan. He joins only because he trusts you and knows that you are going to stand by and help him develop the business. If you are building an online list of prospects, you can develop trust over a period of time by consistently giving information and solutions which are valuable to your prospects.

3. The ability to sell: There are network marketing companies which make canned presentations and put them up on the website. All you need to do is to direct people to those presentations and the company claims the presentations would do the sales job. This might work to some extent but as I mentioned earlier, it is the personal trust that sells and not a jazzy presentation. Therefore, you need to learn selling skills if you want to grow your organization.

4. The ability to support: Once you have a team of distributors in your downline, you need the leadership skills to support them and the guide them to replicate the model you are working on. This is the only way to generate more success in the MLM industry.

If you have the 4 qualities mentioned above, you can become a successful network marketer.

1. Numis Online Marketing System: This comprehensive system contains all the tools you need to build your business online. It comprises of professional lead capture pages, automated email system and specially designed marketing campaigns. All you need to do is to enter the names of the leads in to the system and the system will send them campaign messages which will lead them to your website to purchase coins. There are 2 campaigns for your prospects which include 5 time sequenced messages and one campaign for your downline.

2. Refer A Friend: Bringing in your friends to share the Numis experience is one of the most popular ways of building the business. Talk to your friends and show them the value of the coins beyond the simple experience of appreciating their beauty. When they realize the investment and the business potential of the activity, they are sure to join you. You can refer friends directly from the Numis website by entering their email id. They will automatically be sent appropriate messages by the marketing system.

3. Online Training: Numis has several online training and sales videos which explain to you the various aspects of the business. Make sure you go through the training and learn all the strategies. You could also consider purchasing the optional training qualified program which will open up 2 new income streams in the form of code bonuses and fast track bonuses.

4. Events and Conferences: Numis also organizes events and conferences from time to time. It is great idea for you to bring in friends to these conferences to give them a first hand feel of the company and the team. For you, it is an excellent opportunity to meet with other representatives and also company executives to discuss your personal concerns and plans of action. Events are great places to network and learn more about the business.

In addition to the above 4 ways, you can use several other online marketing strategies to drive traffic to your site, strategies such as article marketing, forum marketing, and social networking. When you combine these strategies with the online Numis marketing system, you can achieve tremendous results.

• Commissions: Whenever you get people to purchase coins from you or from your website, you earn commission income. There are 2 kinds of customers – the one off customer who purchases one time and the preferred customer who is on an auto ship program. The preferred customer gets a discount on his purchases. Numis takes care of all the shipping and order processing.

• Binary downline: The compensation is designed as a binary organization in which there are 2 people below you – one in your left leg and one in your right. It is not required that you personally enroll them but you become their sponsor even if someone else enrolls them. A Numis distributor is called the Independent Collector Representative and he can be an enroller and a sponsor. You get paid commissions on the total bonus volume generated by your downline up to unlimited levels. You earn $30 cycle bonus for each 300 BV in your weaker leg. However, you are eligible to receive commissions only if you maintain at least one active representative in your right and left leg.

• Matching bonuses: Apart from the binary structure, an enroller organization chart is also prepared which consists of your personally enrolled representatives and their personally enrolled representatives. You earn a matching bonus on all your personally enrolled first generation representative’s binary cycle bonuses.

• Collector bonuses: If you take the optional Collector training program at $125, you can become training qualified ICR. However, if you can acquire 20 unique customers, retail or preferred, then you automatically become a training qualified ICR. Now you are eligible to earn fast track bonuses and coded collector bonuses as an additional income stream. You can earn $50 whenever you recruit an ICR who purchases the training program. In addition, you also get the 1 star and 2 star coded bonuses as you get more people enrolled for the training program.

I believe that the Numis Network compensation plan offers several lucrative options for earning money by selling coin collections and if coins matters even a little for you; this opportunity might be a good investment.

Coins that we use today have a certain value which is mentioned on the coin itself. But if you have a coin which is from the 18th century it will have more value than the one mentioned on it. This is because as the coin grows old and out of circulation, people are willing to pay more money to buy it. Coins are usually priced based on rarity, age, condition and the quantity originally produced. The rarer the coin, the older the coin, the lesser the quantity produced and if the coin is in a good condition, the price goes higher.

Coin collecting is more than just a hobby. It is also an investment. As you keep the coin with you for a long time, the price increases just like real estate. However, with the Numis Network, coin collecting has also become an MLM business. It has become a way to create wealth, collect wealth and preserve wealth. Numis Network was founded by Mike Mezack, Celebrity and Expert Numismatist, Ian Cordell, Founder & President, Christopher Kent, Founder & EVP and Jake Kevorkian, Founder & EVP.

Mike Mezack was the popular host on the TV series Coin Collector on the Home Shopping Network. He has literally revolutionized the coin collecting industry by developing exciting products and marketing strategies. The basic aim of Numis Network is to ignite the passion of coin collection in children and families. It does this by educating people about the business opportunity beyond just appreciating the coins.

Numis Network offers to market coin collections to people who are interested in collecting them not just for hobby but for the business. When you become a distributor at Numis Network, you can buy coins and then sell them to others making a retail profit on the sale. In addition, you can also recruit other people in your team who will replicate the same model, funneling commissions to you on their sales. The Numis Network business opportunity might seem to be unique and unbelievable at first but when you seriously consider it you will find that there are many people in the world interested in collecting coins once they understand the value hidden in the activity. This makes Numis Network a wonderful fun-filled MLM opportunity.

1. Blogging: Writing a personal blog would be your first step to creating a presence. On your blog you must write blog posts which deal with the various problems in personal care products and nutritional products due to the presence of harmful ingredients like talc, TEA and DEA. Develop awareness among people with respect to these harmful ingredients and then offer them the alternative solution of Neways which are free of these questionable substances. On your blog, you can also add in an opt-in box which is useful in capturing the email ids of the people visiting your blog.

2. Article Marketing: As you do on your blog, you need to also write articles on these issues and publish them on article directories like ezinearticles and goarticles. This will give you more reach to your target audience and also improve your search engine rankings.

3. Forum Posting: Find out forums related to nutrition and personal care and develop your profile on them. Interact with people and discover their nutrition and personal care related problems and do your best to solve them. Forums are a great place to discover people in your target segment and you can get customers and distributors from among them.

4. Traffic Exchanges: If you simply want to get traffic to your site or blog, you need to register on a traffic exchange. In return for browsing other people’s sites, you can get other people to browse yours and you might find some of them getting interested in your Neways products and the business opportunity.

5. Social Networking: Another latest way to generate leads and traffic to your site is social networking on sites like MySpace, Twitter and Facebook. For instance, develop a fan following on Twitter by sending out important information related to health, nutrition and personal care in the form of tweets.

Apart from the above mentioned online marketing strategies, you can also do a lot more with video marketing, social bookmarking, and e-book marketing. It is important to learn one technique at a time and grow your business with it.

The founders of Neways discovered that many of the personal care products which are available in the market contain potentially harmful ingredients like TEA, DEA, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate, and talc and that brought about a vision to create products which do not contain any questionable ingredients completely free of heavy metals, microbes, and pesticides. The company uses state of the art manufacturing and bottling technology called the Max Flash technology which effectively ensures the maximum freshness for each ingredient. Traditional processing involves heating for sanitization which reduces the effectiveness of the constituents.

There are 3 major product lines – health and wellness, personal care and household care. In the health and wellness segment, Neways markets 4 products all nutritional and energy drinks – Durian Fusion, Maximol, Hawaiian Noni Juice and Vera. These products help to renew the cells, replenish the body with essential nutrients and improve overall health. The Personal care range of products includes a variety of cosmetics for the cheeks, eyes, lips and complexion. The household care product is called the New Brite which is essentially a glass and surface cleaner.

The Neways Opportunity

Over 500,000 distributors across the world sell the Neways products and are helping other people convert their homes to a Neways healthy home. The philosophy behind the Neways network marketing is simple. You need to replace your monthly purchases of regular brands of products with the Neways products and get paid to introduce other people to this business. The compensation plan works on a 3×3 matrix where you recruit 3 and they recruit 3 more. You get paid 10% commission up to 4 levels and 5% for the next 2 levels. You also earn a cash rebate on your personal purchases of the Neways products. Neways distributors can also take advantage of the Car bonus program which can help you to get the car of your dreams. Overall, the Neways MLM opportunity is a decent business proposition.
