Be wary of claims such as the BioPerformance "Gas Pill". I'm not saying it doesn't work, I have not tried it. I admit my viewpoint is coming from a position of weakness never having used the product, but...
Claims like this have come and gone for years. If there was such a "powder or pill" that could improve gas mileage don't you think someone big would already be marketing it? Don't you think we could just run down to NAPA and get some?
Everyone is hot to save money on gasoline right now and this fits nicely with their greed glands as well. Make money with something everyone needs. Does it work? Most distributors won't care, they just want to sell it and retire. If they make enough money the cost of gas won't matter a lick.
The real answer to our gas problem is not found in making existing gasoline engines burn less gas but in making us use different fuel to power our cars. The fact that this is MLM just smacks of scarey.
Rebuttals I'm sure will challenge me to use it and get better mileage, but I'm not about to put up money for the test. If a distributor wants to supply me with enough of the stuff to do a proper test, and it works, I'll eat my words and put in a good word for your stuff.

al Vacations Members Now Earn $3000 and $1000 Checks Before First Training Sale
The ability to earn big commissions on their first day, along with the maximum support provided by a winning system, is driving business to the Coastal Vacations Sales Center in big numbers. Experienced network marketers and novices easily understand the advantages of a system that requires no personal selling and is producing record sales.
(PRWEB via PR Web Direct) April 21, 2006 -- Aided by the maximum support provided to them, new Coastal Vacations members are now earning $3000 and $1000 commissions before they complete their first training sale. The maximum support provided by Coastal Vacations' fastest growing and largest group and the revolutionary "fast cash" pay plan are a winning combination that is knocking out the competition.The Coastal Vacations Sales Center's "fast cash" pay plan is getting rave reviews from expert network marketers and novices. The ability to earn immediate commissions allows new members to reinvest a portion of their earnings back into their business quickly, allowing them to produce even more income faster. Coastal Vacations Director Dean Marino hosts member training and Discovery Q&A calls for the largest and fastest growing group in the Coastal community. He explained why his group's pay plan was producing so many more sales. "Our members can earn commissions of $3000 or $1000 on their very first sale. Contrast that with the traditional pay plan where new members must pass their first 2 sales up to their sponsor before they have the opportunity to earn a dime."Marino understands the criticism he is hearing from those who work the traditional business model. "The dirty little truth is that in any traditional home based business 95% of those who get started never earn a check. Under the traditional pay plan, new members may be able to bring a friend or relative into the business as their first training sale before they realize it is much harder to convince strangers to join. Traditional sponsors have grown accustomed to the additional income those training sales bring before their new members realize they can't sell to strangers and give up. We were able to offer the improved pay plan because our members can produce more sales, faster with our simple, duplicatable, no selling system. Simply put, our members are able to produce sales even if they lack sales skills."Marino, a California based Level 3 Director, explained that some sponsors go as far as trying to convince would-be members that sales skills are not required to have success in the traditional business. However, that propaganda is hard to swallow for those that do the proper research.Prospective Coastal Vacations members can easily find evidence that the traditional business model will require them to learn selling techniques. Three of the four speakers under contract to teach at a major Coastal conference in Orlando this September are sales trainers. They are Todd Falcone, Doug Firebaugh, and Tom Goetschius. The fourth speaker, Gary Coxe, will help members overcome the fear of cold calling. Sales techniques are a major part of training calls conducted by the Board of Directors and the Coastal Synergy Group. In fact, the latter is conducting sales training events in Illinois and Pennsylvania this year, and has even conducted a training call for their members with master sales trainer Zig Ziglar. Yet another group has scheduled sales training with Dani Johnson. Coastal Vacations has explained for years that their members are in direct sales, not MLM members. Peruse books on network marketing at your local bookstore. They are loaded with sales techniques. Members working the traditional business will eventually need to ask for as much as $11,000 in exchange for their product. In sales jargon that is called asking for the sale and success often requires asking more than once. The art of knowing when and how to ask is called closing.A major part of the success members have with the Sales Center, is that they never have to ask for, and collect the money themselves. The Sales Center recognized that most people are not good at selling and have no desire to learn the techniques required to improve their skills. Their system does not require members to learn selling techniques to have success. However, those who have had selling success with the traditional business, report that profits more than doubled with the maximum support system. Now, Sales Center members are earning $3000 and $1000 commissions even before they have completed a single training sale.

The Shocking Truth - 7 Myths of MLM Email Lead Companies
by Jeff Casmer
Anyone starting a Multi-Level Marketing business or any type of home business will need a lead company to provide targeted prospects for your business. One thing you need to ask yourself is how they generate the leads. Good companies will generate potential contacts through a range of methods.
Today, lead generating companies use the internet along with telemarketing, ad campaigns, and direct mail campaigns. They will then use a software program to provide you with business opportunity leads that fit your business.
I personally have been in network marketing business for over 10 years and know how deep the shark infested waters of bad lead companies that over promise and under deliver. There are 7 Myths about mlm email leads and the companies that provide these services that you should be aware of and avoid when choosing a lead company.
Myth 1 "We will give you 50 FREE Leads to try out with no obligation"
Many companies will offer you free leads to try out their service. First, the leads that you get are not very good, responsive, and often more than 72 hours old which means the leads are not "hot but "cold". Secondly, and more importantly, when you sign up to get the free leads, you just became a lead.
Myth 2 "We generate our own leads"
This is false. 90% of lead companies do not generate their own leads but purchase their own. They in turn resell them to you. These leads have been "turned" so to speak anywhere from 5-10 times. Your response rate will be significantly lower because of this important factor. Myth 3 "Our leads are Targeted Leads to your home business specialty"
One of the ways to "capture" a lead is to put up what we consider a "pop-up" window on a website that might be asking you if you want more information on a "credit card offer". Then that company turns to any lead company and sells it. Now if you have a home business and looking for people who are interested in starting a home business, you go to Lead Company A and buy some mlm email leads. You will get leads from people who wanted information on credit card offers, not a home business. Is that targeted? What are your chances of converting a sale? Slim to none.
Myth 4 "Our Leads are 24 Hours old or less and "fresh".
90% of leads sold are over 24 hours old if that fresh. The reason is modern technology, detailed work, time spent to gather the leads captured, and to upload them to you through an excel spreadsheet or other form of communication takes time. Make sure you read all the details about how the company obtained the mlm email lead in the first place.
Myth 5 "Leads were not offered an incentive".
Lead companies will tell you this so that you don't think the lead was offered any payment or free gift for filling out a survey. Most lead companies fail to disclose this. Make sure you do the research and ask questions of the company before you purchase the leads.
Myth 6 "Leads are Company Specific"
Many lead companies indicate to consumers that their mlm email leads are company specific. For example a website has a "popup" window if someone is interested in a earning money part time and they turn around and sell you the leads because they are interested in SFI (Six Figure Marketing) a popular home business opportunity on the internet. Does that mean its company specific? No where does it say that person who filled out the form and became a lead they were interested in that specific company.
Myth 7 "Millions of people are looking for a home business"
There are not millions of people looking for a home business. There are thousands everyday but not millions. If a lead company tells you that....they are stretching the truth just a bit.
Now that you know what NOT to look for: Here is a summary of how to be successful with your mlm email lead:
1. The quality of the lead source is only one factor...important but not the only thing to consider. You as a contributor are just as important. You are the determiner of the real success with any lead source. That's why peoples experiences can vary so much.
2. Success with leads is mostly about numbers, time, & "your" effort. Sufficient numbers, followed consistently over time (minimum of 3-6 months), & applying a disciplined method of follow-up emails will show results with most any lead source and a very good autoresponder. I use GetResponse to follow up with all of my leads. The best leads in the world are no good if you dont have a quality email series or a reliable autoresponder in place or a to follow up.
3. A quality generic lead source is a good thing (must be pre-qualified, 48 hrs old or less, non-shared, & exclusive to warrant quality label). Company specific leads are even a better option. Generating quality leads yourself is the best way. Doing all 3 in unison is the best campaign you can have to be successful. Everything else is a waste.
In conclusion, using the techniques and advice described above, your mlm email lead campaign can bring the fruits of success, with a good follow-up program in place, a reliable autoresponder, personal perseverance, and avoiding the lead companies that offer more "fluff" and "flash" than real, fresh, responsive leads.

Advertisers Draw Fire for Undercover Marketing
Thursday, 13 April 2006, 10:21 amPress Release: Chris Tinney Advertisers Draw Fire for Using Undercover Marketing Tactics
As advertising has become advertising ad nauseam, and we are forever being pitched to, marketed to, and appealed to by someone trying to sell us something more advertisers are looking at new ways to deliver their message to you. This has resulted in a mix of marketing tactics that are drawing fire. Some are new versions of old techniques and some are very new. Consider that many advertisers are already paying your friends or in some cases even hiring actors to strategically engage you in their product- with or without your knowledge.
(PRWEB) December 4, 2005 -- As advertising has become advertising ad nauseam, and we are forever being pitched to, marketed to, and appealed to by someone trying to sell us something more advertisers are looking at new ways to deliver their message to you. This has resulted in a mix of marketing tactics that are drawing fire. Some are new versions of old techniques and some are very new. Consider that many advertisers are already paying your friends or in some cases even hiring actors to strategically engage you in their product- with or without your knowledge.
If the current trends hold true it’s almost certain that you’ll be the target of “undercover” or “referral marketing” as more companies use undercover marketing and more of your friends will start trying to make a few extra bucks referring people to the products that offer them commissions for making those referrals.
Undercover Marketing
Whether you like it or not, undercover marketing is here to stay. Whether you know it or not, it may already be a part of your life.
Consider this. The last time a friendly tourist asked you to take their picture with an impressive new camera or an attractive woman at the bar said you could buy her a drink; they both may have been “working”. These are examples of what is being called Undercover Marketing. In these examples the company paid people to pose as tourists or bar patrons respectively. The “tourists” job was to show as many people as possible all the features of a new camera that Sony coming out with. The models were paid to look good of course, but you won’t see them holding anything but a Sky Vodka. Not when their “working” anyway.
ADVERTISEMENT
One of the larger companies in this industry is Big Phat Promotions. They’ve drawn both protest and attention for their unique marketing practices that they now employ in 30 cities across the United States and Canada. The company defends their tactics as "spontaneous" and "virile" approaches to product promotion. Critics however, argue that paying actors to target consumers in these settings is unethical.
Even over seas the New South Wales government has enacted legislation preventing tobacco companies from using similar undercover marketing practices.
Adam Salacuse, CEO and President of Alt Terrain, LLC, a Boston-based agency specializing in alternative promotion services, stresses undercover campaigns should only be used in conjunction with larger, more traditional advertising campaigns. "It is always best to be honest with people and if used properly, alternative marketing can be a unique and relevant experience that the consumer will always remember."
Gary McCarron, Asst. Communications Professor at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, says the public is already immune to most mainstream advertising and new research indicates that advertising that doesn't seem like advertising, is the new way to reach our jaded minds.
McCarron warns that if advertising becomes so sneaky that it is unrecognizable from the everyday experiences of defenseless consumers, it will damage corporate credibility and the resulting state of distrust could have an extremely negative effect on social interaction.
Referral or Network Marketing
Do the words MLM, Network Marketing or multi-level-marketing ring a bell? These words all describe companies that pay you commissions for referring people to their products.
MLM or Network Marketing is back. The MLM Direct Selling Associate now reports that nearly 75% of all Americans have now used or been presented with a product from a Network Marketing company. The most well known, International, Network Marketing Companies are Amway (now Quixtar), Mary Kay and Life Force International.
The allure of Network Marketing or MLM to consumers is the massive amounts of money that some in the industry claim to make. These companies pay you a commission on all the products you sell. They also pay you commissions on the products that anyone you refer to the company, sells. If the people you refer refer others, you earn commissions on the purchases of those people too.
Sound like a pyramid? There’s a difference. Really. Network Marketing has exploded in the last 20 years since Amway fought their landmark case making and distinguishing the MLM or multi-level commission structure as legal and separate from a illegal pyramid structures.
MLM or Network Marketing companies offer you and your friends of course, commissions for referring people to their products. These companies now sell every kind of product you can imagine.
Marketing expert Chris Tinney is the founder of Best MLM Business (www.BestMLMBusiness.com) and MLM Forums (www.MLMForums.com) and eBusiness Bonanza (http://ebusinessbonanza.com) says many in his industry used undercover marketing in the past but have found parts of it turned the public off, “Too many people have memories of going somewhere with a friend only to be surprised to find themselves front and center at an opportunity meeting for some kind of home based business.”
He says Network Marketing still teaches people to go into social settings to pitch their products, however, they’ve learned it works much better if you’re up front about whom you are and what you’re doing. Tinney claims that if a marketer has to lie they’ve already made a mistake in choosing the social setting. He says this is the most important step. Once in that setting he says to be upfront about the product you represent.
Tinney claims that by being in places where people are predisposed to want your products and being “upfront” about it, that they'll approach the marketer and initiate the interaction. He claims this is much different than what the public perceives as undercover marketing.
As competition to reach consumers increase undercover and referral based marketing is sure to become more and more a part of our lives. The challenge will be for marketers to use these tactics in such a way that the don’t alienate the very consumers they’re hoping to win over.

Is MLM a Scam?
Is MLM a Scam? There are many websites dedicated to calling MLM ( Multi-level Marketing ) a scam. Is it true?
Let's explore the definition of "scam" From answers.com I found this definition: A fraudulent business scheme; a swindle
Are there some companies that pay a multi-level commission that are fraudulent? Yes. Are there companies that pay a multi-level commission that are ligitimate? Yes.
If it is said that MLM is a scam, that means that all MLM is a scam. Blanket statements like that are about as valid as saying all fat people are stupid. Since there is at least one honest company in the world that pays a multi-level commission then by definition MLM is not a scam.
I believe that people who dedicate their lives and energy to ripping apart multi-level marketing are those who have gotten hurt and are seeking revenge. You don't find many successful MLM distributors that are ripping on MLM. Those that rip on MLM are those that failed. Plain and simple. They are trying to warn the world that MLM is a scam, but what they are really projecting is "Hey look, I failed at network marketing and I'm blaming everyone else" Further they imply "and I don't want you to try because if you succeed I'll look like an idiot".
Entire sites are dedicated to warning people about the dangers of Amway. That's the biggest MLM company and the biggest target. While it's true that many distributors hype the chances of success, you can't fault the company or say MLM doesn't work. There are too many Amway millionaires to discount it. Amway has made its founders billionaires and they are in business today and as healthy as ever. Scams don't get that big or last that long.
Anyone who calls MLM a scam is a loser, plain and simple. How's that for a blanket statement? Intelligent people after failing at MLM would say " I didn't have the skills needed to make it work" or , "truthfully I didn't put in my best effort" or even "that company didn't have the right program".
Next time you see a site calling MLM a scam, or someone spouting their view that all MLM is a scam, you are seeing a failure in action.

Could You Succeed in a Home-Based Business?
Amway China Formally Applies for Direct Selling License
(SinoCast via COMTEX) --US-based Amway Corp., a world's leader in multilevel marketing, confirms that its subsidiary in China has formally applied to the Ministry of Commerce of China for a license of direct selling.Insiders at Amway China reveal that the company has over 7,000 outlets in near 2,000 counties and cities around China and the preparation for the direct selling has finished. Gan Chee Eng, vice president of Amway China, previously released that the company just hoped to get the license before the end of November 2006.According to the requirements of MOC, Amway and other nine foreign companies that should transform their business model in China are allowed to continue their traditional business model before December 1, 2006.Ahead of Amway China, there are a few foreign companies have submitted their applications for direct selling licenses to MOC but the ministry just granted one to Avon China by far.From Jinghua Times, Page 1, Thursday, April 06, 2006info@SinoCast.Com
Dick De Vos runs for Governor of Michigan
Dick De Vos runs for Governor of Michigan.
The son of Amway co-founder Rich DeVos is running for Governor of Michigan against Governor Jennifer Granholm. DeVos is running as a Republican
What makes this story interesting to me is the net worth of Dick De Vos. He is one of the richest people to run for public office. Forbes estimated is net worth between $500 million and $3 Billion dollars. Not bad for the son of a co-founder. ( who said there is no money in MLM anway?) Of course the Waltons make him look like a pauper. They started Wal-Mart and everyone in that family seems to be worth around $20 billion.
Why anyone with vast wealth would want to be in public office is beyond me, but so be it. If he wants the job, best wishes to him.
Can you Make Money in MLM?
There are people making $500,000 a month in MLM or network marketing. Plenty of others are making $300,000 a year and more. Can you do that?
Perhaps, but the odds are against you. The average distributor for any company doesn't make enough to cover their costs let alone create real wealth.
Only the dedicated "go getters" can create wealth.
Unfortunately most people are lazy and they hope to sign up with a network marketing company and do nothing yet bring in big bucks. Still others hope to join and spend nothing at all to aquire downline and customers yet expect to make a bundle. Sorry folks, MLM is a business just like any other. The start up costs are small, but you should still dedicate time and most importantly "money" to getting your venture off the ground. You can't expect to skate by with no out of pocket expenses for marketing. It's just reality. The more you put in the more you'll get out.
Be prepared to lose money for a few years while you build your base. You can't expect to live off your efforts and if you do, you'll kill the goose. Plan to plow all of your profits back into marketing and get a large downline base. In a few years you'll be successful and have all the money you want. Only then should you kick back and enjoy your lifestyle. Until then it's work work work.
Sorry to disappoint those who would like to do nothing and get rich. The only advise I have for you is to keep buying lottery tickets and hope.

Resources for MLM are vast and new ones come and go almost daily. Some are good, some are bad. You just have to weed out those that are useful to you.

Network Marketing is MLM is Multilevel
I don't know who they are trying to fool, but some companies swear they are not MLM or Multilevel marketing or even Network Marketing Companies.
I can see why they want to distance themselves from those terms. In the past much fraud has been committed by companies called MLM companies. It has gotten a bad name. Here is my take on it: If you are paying commissions on more than one level, that is multi-level. If you are marketing a product, that is marketing. Put those together and you have, surprise, multi-level marketing.
Distributors of some companies are brainwashed to believe they are "Referral Marketing" and not MLM. Ok.. look, they pay a multi-level commission, they refer others, which is networking. Who are they trying to fool? These folks are so entrenched that I've gotten into arguments about calling them network marketers. They don't even like the term "distributor".
It doesn't really hurt anything to call them as they wish to be called. We all can refer to them as "referral marketers" , and wink wink, we know what that means.

MLMScamZone.com Has Found The Key To Legitimate MLM, for Scam-Free Business Successes
After years of research and thousands of dollars, MLMScamZone.com has cut through the scams masquerading as lawful networking, and has discovered the single most successful, legitimate MLM business opportunity
(PRWEB) April 6, 2006 -- MLMScamZone.com is proud to announce the results of its lengthy research into so-called MLM companies, and has discovered the single most beneficial MLM opportunity on the web for legitimate earnings that can lead to substantial successes.
After repeated failures in the MLM industry, the MLM Success Team that comprises MLMScamZone.com decided to take a new tack. This effort involved a great deal of investigation and thousands of dollars in order to explore as many of the MLM “opportunities” offered over the internet as could be found. Essentially, trial-and-error, education, and simple common sense, one MLM business was found to stand out above the rest.
This single MLM opportunity was discovered to have the highest potential for earnings and successes, without any scams or hidden chances for failure that aren’t visible upon initial registration.
MLMScamZone.com is the creation of Shane Woods who had, himself, fallen victim to a number of wolves in sheep’s clothing; MLM companies that appeared to be good opportunities when they were instead scams or simply bad deals. Mr. Woods was frustrated after several failures, even when the best sales and marketing techniques were used. He continued to educate himself about all of the best techniques and strategies for MLM success, but finally concluded that it wasn’t him leading to the lack of income generation. His low earnings were the direct result of MLM scams. He knew, though, that MLM remains a legitimate, lawful business opportunity that should be able to provide him with an income as long as he had the right marketing techniques and put in the effort required. And so, MLMScamZone.com was created, allowing him to discover that MLM opportunity that he knew was out there somewhere.
Today, Shane Woods is proud to be able to share this meaningful discovery with other prospective entrepreneurs who are tired of falling victim to scams or too nervous to get into MLM because of the number of scams that are out there. Shane’s http://www.mlmscamzone.com opens up all of his research and efforts for all motivated individuals to use and from which they may all profit.
