FTC and The New Age In Network Marketing

I recently did a Podcast on the "FTC and The New Age In Network Marketing".

There is a coming change in the Network Marketing Business Space and you should be aware of it. 

As an economist I have always wondered where network marketing went wrong. I think its the greed factor that forced the network marketing companies to focus on getting distributors instead of getting customers. No business can survive financially by having more distributors than customers and I explain this in my podcast.

Is Smart Home Automation Confusing?

Is smart home automation confusing to you?

Many times when people think smart home automation they think about a big company coming into their home and running wires all over the place and punching holes in the walls, ugh!

This is no longer the case. You can go into Lowes, or Home Depot and purchase a system and set it up yourself. You don't have to call Xfinity Home or Att to get them to install a system that will cost you a fortune, the DIY [Do It yourself] space has solved this by inventing home automation systems that are easy to install and can be done in minutes. 

The smart home automation price has come down considerably but their are still problems that exist with many companies.

If you want to run the systems from your phone you will have to get individual apps to run each single device. This creates what is called app fatigue, where you have to pull up many individual apps to run your devices. Another problem is that if you want to add devices you will have to pay more money and get more apps to run them. Many times each device comes with its own hub that runs their device so you end up with multiple hubs all over your home.

Enter KEO Smart Home Automation

KEO Smart Home Automation has solved this problem. You can add devices when ever you want to, at no cost. You can purchase the additional devices from anywhere you wish and install them as long as they are Zwave compatible. You don't have to purchase them from KEO and the monthly rate does not go up. 

KEO has also developed one app for running all the devices and as you add devices you can add them to your single app on your phone or tablet. It looks like KEO has changed the game in Smart Home Automation for the DIY installation home market. To learn more just click here or any other links in the article and you will be directed to a website and a phone number to call to get more information.

Is Your Focus On The Money Or Customers?

Is your focus on building your business on the Money or on Customers.

If your are just focused on money you will probably not build a solid business. So many times people join a network marketing company and think that they should focus on how much money they can make, when they should be focused on getting customers. Customers are the life blood of your business and without them you have no business. 

Network marketing companies tell their distributors to focus on bringing in more distributors and that will grow their business. This is so far from the truth. Having more distributors than customers is like having a business with more salespeople than customers. If you keep hiring salespeople you will soon be out of business, because you will have no lasting revenue. 

Customers are the real revenue generator, but in most network marketing companies the revenue stream from them is less than what you get paid when bringing in a new distributor. Everyone knows that the money paid by new distributors pays the upline and the company, so that's why they go after distributors instead of customers. 

When the FTC [Federal Trade Commission] looks at a network marketing company they want to see more customers than distributors otherwise they might deem it a pyramid scheme.

All companies should be customer centric instead of distributor centric. What this means is that the revenue must be driven by activating new customers, with the acquisition of getting new distributors being to expand the customer base. There are many network marketing companies that charge very little or nothing to become a distributor, but pays on each distributor getting new customers. 

KEO Smart Home Automation is just that type of company. It's free to become a distributor, and the real money is made when a customer is activated. This is a customer centric network marketing business. When the main focus is on getting customers, and not the money, you will build a lasting business. 

Recently a company named Vemma was investigated by the FTC and was found to have 70% distributors and only 30% customers. This was out of balance and was closed. As of this writing I am not sure if they are back in business or not but the upshot of the closure should send chills throughout the network marketing industry to clean up their act and focus more on customers. 

Thanks for reading.

How Work Is Changing


The world of work is changing mostly due to the advance of technology, Entrepreneurs such as as Reid Hoffman   are leading the way but did you know that the entrepreneurial ideals and spirit can be applied and used even if  you work in a conventional company.

The days of leaving school and and starting work with a company, working your way up the ladder until you reach the top are long down. Now the whole world lies at your feet and you can pick and choose, where, when,and how you want to work. This can be frightening for some, however  opportunities abound and you need to be flexible, open minded to learn new skill and prepared to take risks to become successful. Hard work and producing results will usually be rewarded.

There are few jobs that can be guaranteed, however there are drawback for employers as the sense of loyalty seems to have become lost and it is not unusual to have higher staff turnovers. Modern working tends to rely on networking and  short term working which is more allied to working as an entrepreneur but with less risk.

A true entrepreneur has to assume all risks with building a business and be naturally adaptive to changing situation, networking  ability is essential and forming alliances with other entrepreneurs together with sharing ideas and obtaining feedback can ensure success of your project.

MarketHive is becoming a favoured meeting place for budding entrepreneurs and I would like you to take a look and give me your feedback.

Collaboration Grows Businesses- Entrepreneurial Success

Collaboration is a key to growing any business. Getting leads is the desire of any business owner.

Any entrepreneur worth his or her salt will welcome collaboration with open arms, The key to major growth in any business or venture is collaboration. There are many examples of successful collaboration in developing new products and services, here are a few that are extremely successful.

Have you ever hear of Wikipedia?

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people who use it. It is a special type of website designed to make collaboration easy, called a wiki. Many people are constantly improving Wikipedia, making thousands of changes per hour. Their goal is to make sure the information is pure and factual. Many are working as one on Wikipedia. 

Have you ever heard of CERN? 

The name CERN is derived from the acronym for the French "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research, a provisional body founded in 1952 with the mandate of establishing a world-class fundamental physics research organization in Europe. At that time, pure physics research concentrated on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the word "nuclear".

Today, our understanding of matter goes much deeper than the nucleus, and CERN's main area of research is particle physics – the study of the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces acting between them. Because of this, the laboratory operated by CERN is often referred to as the European Laboratory for Particle Physics.

Thousands of people around the world are collaborating together to make sure the science is pure and concise. Collaboration in the CERN model is the same with the wiki model except the collaborators are selected specifically for their skills. 

Have you ever heard of MARKETHIVE?

Markethive is a collaborative effort of entrepreneurs who are working together to assure that each entrepreneur gets their information into the hands of the public. One of the main problems that an entrepreneur has is that unless they spend huge sums of money they can't be heard. This is no longer a problem! Now through Markethive the entrepreneur can make sure that what they have to say gets heard by the right people.

Through the collaboration of many Markethive entrepreneurs, when a member wants to get their message out to others, each member pumps the information through their individual social networks reaching thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in just the click of a button. 

Years ago when the internet was in its infancy many people who had huge email networks of people would joint venture with each other, which still goes on today in the form of Solo ads, to reach massive audiences and would charge each other money or some kind of monetization to make this attractive. The playing field was not level since the lonely entrepreneur could not afford it or perhaps didn't have a large email list to share with others.

Markethive has leveled the playing field and put together a system where any member can leverage other members, and get them to push their information to other individual social networks, reaching people that they never dreamed they could reach before. Markethive has various levels of participation that enables the entrepreneur to grow as their business grows. The higher the level the more leverage the entrepreneur has and the more assets they share. 

Now, the information has to be pure before any member will push out someone else's information since each member has their own reputation to protect. Each member must want to share each others information, so a new member quickly learns what type of information the existing members will share with their personal social media. 

If Collaboration interest you just Click here and see for your self. Markethive is free to use and experience.

First Came The Light Bulb Then Customer Cenrtic JAQX Smart Home Automation

JAQX Smart Home Automation is the most Customer Centric Network Marketing business model in the industry. Here's how it works.

A network marketer wants to become a distributor they can do so for no charge. They can sign up as many distributors as they want at no charge. No one makes any money when they sign up a distributor. This is a huge departure from the traditional network marketing company model. So how does anyone make any money you are probably asking?

Everyone only gets paid when they activate a customer. Customers drive the revenue and JAQX realizes that without them there is no company so they are the number one priority, ie. Customer Centric. A distributor can be their own customer but to be a distributor one does not have to be a customer. So anyone can sign up and be a distributor, not be a customer, but make money by activation new customers. 

Customers do not have to be distributors, and they can utilize the full system.

The pay scale is huge since the percentage made from each customer is a constant for at least the term of the customer contract [History shows that people stay well beyone their contract]. To the distributor they get paid a CAB bonus [Customer Acquisition Bonus] along with a monthly residual. No one can every be coded out of income but income grows with performance. With this model a person can truly achieve financial freedom and realize their dreams.

To learn mode simply go to www.L4Automation.com and read all about it.

Can You Expand Your Home Automation System at No Cost?

Home Automation is the wave of the future but many companies are not treating it as such. The big players in the home automation space are not putting in systems that can be expandable unless they can charge more.

It is a documented fact that by 2022 people will have over 500 smart devices in their homes all running to make their lives easier. With this statistic being real the big boys in this business are not allowing their hubs to accept any device unless they install it themselves and charge for it.

KEO Home Automation delivers a hub that can be expanded when ever the customer wants to. Being number one in the DIY space allows KEO to enable the customer to expand it themselves whether they buy the device from KEO or somewhere else.

Expansion is key in the home automation business and when you allow the customer to do it themselves you are building a huge base of trust for the long term. Technology will change and any home automation company has to change with it. Allowing the customer to add new technology without increasing their cost is brilliant.
