Reaching Another Milestone In My Online Franchise Business

Image
Today, I am grateful and happy to share news that I've reached another milestone in my Market America online franchise business. Take a look at the attached screenshot and you'll come to note that I've got at least $600 of commission income from this area of my online business. I have 2 areas in my online business, one of which is my jeromebaladad.com storefront that includes my Amazon.com storefront, while the other area is through my Market America online franchise business. I've been doing my jeromebaladad.com business 6 years now and it's been growing in terms of income, too, but I've been doing most of the jobs that are entailed in doing, growing and expanding it. That means I have to do mainly by myself all the activities required to engage in successfully make profit from selling, marketing, managing, operating my jeromebaladad.com storefront. The earlier description can't apply completely with my Market America online franchise business. This is

Receiving My Commission From My Market America Online Shopping Mall Franchise Business

Image
Check out the picture above and read some of the more important details. I deliberately erased certain information but you can see enough details about the commission that I have started earning from my franchise business with Market America / shop.com . The business is very real, has called for time, discipline & focus to build & expand, and I have learned so many valuable lessons in my ongoing journey to start earning my ongoing commission income from it. I am talking about earnings that will come to my account in addition to the retail profits, cash back built into the system. It's similar to creating an annuity that is being built and grown together with my teammates, leaders, partners, customers. Believe it as we're all connected 100% as we go about leveraging others' efforts. You don't get the sense of being taken advantaged by the system or by someone because of certain limitations that you encounter in life's everyday situations. For me, it's

2 Resignation Letters Worth Your Time of Studying If You're Moving On From A Full Time Job

  I copy-pasted these 2 letters from Brain Pickings , which prompted me again to post a new blog here after many days of being absent. I am grateful for the inspiration. The letters hit me deep personally mainly because I'm a writer myself, and am working to ensure that I get paid for what I really like doing. Of course, I'm not saying that you run away from your current responsibilities (especially if you have a child or someone who depends on you to live).  What I am saying is that I've realized a long time ago after so many years of denial mainly because I had a very good paying job and an imaginary status that gives me a ranking far higher than most in the social spectrum. The most valuable lesson connected to this, to-date: that I can't possibly help others well unless I get to help myself well first. There goes the conundrum of finding, recognizing my purpose in life.  Oh, well, I've come into terms with that, gratefully. And, hence, I'm building and g

On Reading 'Your First Year In Network Marketing'

If you've been engaged in any form of network marketing these days, you'll be helped a lot by reading this book by Mark Yarnell and Rene Reid Yarnell: Your First Year In Network Marketing . I've been doing and working on my franchise business with Market America / shop.com for nearly a year then when I got the chance to hear about this book from one of the leading partners who came to town in Flushing, Queens to share his experience. And so I was prevailed to order my copy and begun reading it as soon as my second hand copy arrived. It's an easy read but I didn't finish reading it right away because I got myself caught up in activities I've been doing for my online businesses as I continue doing my part-time jobs mainly for cash flow reasons, in addition to a long list of books I've been reading as well because I'm a writer and a bookseller.  As expected, the book didn't really cover much about Market America and its difficult-to-copy compensatio

Moving On with Market America / shop.com as Best Demonstrated by Dennis Franks

In August 1987, Franks was indicted on federal drug charges as part of a so-called "Yuppie" drug ring allegedly operated by a Philadelphia dentist from 1981 to 1983. In September 1987, Franks pleaded guilty to distributing cocaine and conspiring to distribute cocaine. He admitted that he had participated in a drug ring that had sold cocaine to Philadelphia Eagles football players. In November 1988, Franks was "spared a prison sentence" and instead was ordered to spend 52 weekends in a community treatment facility, allowing him to continue with his job in Monterey, California, where he had moved. In 1999, Franks was one of the first group to be inducted into the Behtel Park High School Hall of Fame. Franks was later employed as an executive vice president at Market America , an Internet marketing and product brokerage company. At Market America, he helped develop the company's "Mall Without Walls™" and supported its "health

On Learning and Sharing Information on Supplements that Will Help Heal Your Cancer

There is one way to know that you are doing exactly what God wants you to do: you will be at peace. Not every day, not all the time, but even in the midst of hard times and confusion you will feel good about what you are doing. Even when it seems like you are getting nowhere, you will know there is absolutely nothing else on earth you can do other than what you are doing. ( Iyanla Vanzant ) I was meaning to write this last night but a long phone talk with a good business partner got in the midst while I was about to share here the details, even briefly. I was being bothered by the thought that I couldn't do as much as I could after hearing someone whom I don't know personally is expected to die so soon from the ravages of cancer. She is a mom, the sister-in-law of a friend from high school years. My friend's flying today with his daughter to be with his wife who has been away for at least a month in Los Angeles to attend to the woman who's dying. I wanted to shar

Moving On: Why Do Some Well Meaning People Have Such Notions on Those Who Are in Business

I've been having brief discussions with some people I've met who behave toward me as if I'm a leper or that I'm just taking them for a ride. This situation is particularly true especially when they realize I'm working hard and focused in building my business (so my goals would be accomplished now or sooner), and that I'd like them to consider exploring this opportunity, specifically with Market America ( www.shop.com/jeromebaladad ) to become entrepreneurs themselves (or share the idea to their followers). Most of these people are religious or those who belong to some types of  organizations that they think and feel are much bigger than themselves. Along the way, they express, although not necessarily in the most verbal way, how much they despise everything about being in business, as if  it's the business person's fault that supply and demand of materials we love and look for these days behave most strangely (hello? such situations have been around

I Wonder Why Some Persons I Know Just Don't Wanna Explore Opportunities I've Been Sharing With Them

Oh, well, the title is long; it carries the entire message of this posting. I was inspired to share here about some persons I've met, known and invited to explore opportunities I see with my franchise business with Market America ( shop.com/jeromebaladad ). Probably, they don't see yet in me the benefits of having explored those opportunities that I've been telling them these past few months. Or they're just not interested for now. I've learned not to take things, including rejections, personally.  But still, I wonder why some of them have refused to explore. One of them includes a roommate. He's an American, born and raised in Brooklyn. Good looking, still healthy, relatively young, not really busy as it seems to me, does part time jobs to meet and pay his bills, he could be a very good prospect who could build his business for starters as he's not even employed full time. But I got the chance to clarify a lot of confounding observations on him when he k

Moving On: On Prospecting for Probable Business Partners in Network Marketing among Labor Trafficking Victims Here in the East Coast

Something about what my partner JB shared me stuck in my mind and have got me blogging on it here. I'm still processing it (and would probably make me re-write this one or write another posting for the benefit of this blogwriter's readers anywhere in the world and who are endlessly looking out for better paying full time jobs, especially for jobs abroad). It's about his prospects among others who have been hitting the re-start button in their respective lives after having involved, one way or another in labor trafficking (with themselves being the unwitting victims). These are people who have been given the proper visas by the US government and now allowed to stay and work legally here in the USA.  My partner in my Market America franchise business has been targeting this warm market for his business partners whom he was thinking would be open minded to take a look at this business. But it is not happening as easy as he would have wanted it to be. They are simply refusi

Moving On: Learning To Do the Art of the 'Follow Up'

Last night's mobile home business presentation (m-hbp) at my place in Stapleton, Staten Island, NYC brought forth a host of critical lessons I have to continue improve on so I'll go very far in accomplishing my goals in my franchise business with Market America / shop.com with the help of my teammates. My senior partner Eugene asked me about my style in closing in confirmations from those I've invited to my events. Apparently, I've been lacking in doing more powerful follow ups. I said, my style depends on the person I'm talking with. Now I am seeing that I have to learn more about disqualifying people who show up in my network so I'd save my precious time as well as their own. I'd be very forthright with my intentions, especially when I have to invite them to take a look into this business opportunity with Market America / shop.com . I'd have to learn to ask for their commitment in attending and showing up in my events, such that I don't really

  Last night's (first!) mobile home business presentation (m-hbp) at my place in Stapleton, Staten Island, NYC brought forth a host of critical lessons I have to continue improve on so I'll go very far in accomplishing my goals in my franchise business with Market America / shop.com with the help of my teammates. And in the process, allow myself to get duplicated by those I'll be sponsoring to join me in this business.

Moving On: Re-learning Skills on Presenting Before a Big Crowd

Weeks ago, I was tasked to present part of the home business presentation (an overview on what the business is all about in an hour or two with guests and partners around) before a crowd in a room somewhere in White Plains one evening. I have done many similar presentations before when I was still leading a corporate life as well as during MBA school. I'm saying this experience is really nothing new to me. I'm grateful, though, that my partners have thought well of me to consider asking me to present part of the program we have to help create stronger awareness among our prospects, partners and customers about our very awesome network marketing business (contact me, if you want to know more about this). And during the presentation, I soon found myself delivering my message in a trembling state. Minutes before the presentation, I took 4 capsules of Bliss , following the suggestions of my partners. I had around with my partners. But still, I was overcome by fear. I failed even

Moving On: Expanding My Online Business by Signing Up as an Unfranchise Owner of Market America / shop.com

Since April 2013, I've been engaged as an 'unfranchise owner' of Market America / shop.com , where I've experienced so much expansion in terms of the business I can do now online. I now have a stake in an online shopping mall, among so many other advantages! And this online distribution business I've been doing at least 3 years now since I started selling thru my online storefronts the books and other items I've accumulated here in New York City (NYC) has brought very interesting results, and have since made me use this platform with Market America in turning my dreams and long-term goals into reality.  Of course, all these data that you may read about this online distribution business with Market America can be confounding and hard-to-believe. But I've gained more stronger beliefs that this is the only option I've got so that I can acquire more time and the logistics I would need so I can live the kind of life I've been dreaming about for myself
