My "Extra Money" Success Story
|
Posted By: Khadijah Adams on November 02, 2009 I'm posting my "extra money" success story for the many educated, dedicated and hard working people who have been forced into unemployment by this horrible economy! Okay, so I needed to make extra money, but I wasn't trying to get rich quick, nor was I looking for work outside of my home. I was looking for a real company (licensed, bonded, etc), one that was stable, and one that actually paid on time. In my search, I found several excellent companies to work for, but apparently so did everyone else. I mean, every time I would ask someone if they heard of this product or that product, or this service or that service; they would say, "Yeah haven't you?" So I thought, "okay I missed those opportunities!” I became so frustrated that I just gave up and began looking for a JOB!!!!! I dreaded going back into corporate America, but I had to do what I had to do, right? One evening, an associate called me very excited, telling me that I needed to try this new healthy organic juice. Saying that anyone looking to lose a little weight, look a few years younger, have more energy or just maintain overall health could drink this juice. She shared amazing testimonies she had collected from people who have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and for a brief moment, she had me thinking about how my family members could benefit from drinking this juice. I have a family history of cancer, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure and although I was amazed by the stories she shared; I told her that I was in no position to afford an organic health juice or any juice for that matter! I mean seriously, we were struggling with only one income as it was; how would I explain the purchase of an organic health juice? I could literally hear the argument starting with my husband already LOL! Finally, she persuaded me to taste it. It really tasted great! There was no after taste and after the third sip; I was hooked! I couldn't believe that an organic health juice could taste this good because every other organic juice I had tasted in the past was greenish/brown and tasted awful! NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE, but let's keep it real. Then she told me she gets paid weekly for sharing this juice with other people. I said, “That’s nice, you go girl, but my hands are tied and I have too much on my plate as it is; besides I need a real job and one that pays me every two weeks!” And I wasn't playing either; I really needed to know that when I put in 8 hour days; that a paycheck would be waiting for me every two weeks. Anyway, she convinced me to take a look at the company before making a final decision. I searched the Internet; I called the Secretary of State to be sure they were licensed; I called the Better Business Bureau to see if they had any complaints against them. I called the State Comptroller's office to see if they were in good standings; and I checked out MLM Watchdog.com to see if they were a legitimate network marketing company and not a “fly by night scam” or something. There was nothing bad mentioned about this company ANYWHERE! Finally, I decided to check with a few people I know personally who have built huge work at home businesses to see if they had ever heard of this company. I was shocked to find that none of them had! I couldn't believe that my associate had turned me on to an actual “basement” opportunity! This was not a “ground floor” opportunity, but a true “basement” opportunity because hardly anyone had heard of this company or the organic health juice! This all seemed “too good to be true” so I continued to do more research. I found out why so many people hadn’t heard of this company before. It is because the company had only reached a few states in the U.S., but they broke all kinds of sales records in other Countries like: Hong Kong, China, Japan and Canada. The company was 13yrs old with a less than 2yr old “debt-free” network marketing division. Finally, I called their office to see what kind of customer service department they had and I was floored! A LIVE person answered; she was very professional. She confirmed everything I had uncovered during my research. She told me that the organic health juice was less than 45 days old at the time. Then she told me that they offered weekly online (webinar) trainings and conference call (over the phone) trainings in the evening. This was perfect for me because I still wanted to find a full-time job. After a series of questions, I decided to join their team as an Executive Level Business Owner and they assigned me to “a personal coach”. I was promised that I would always get a live person when calling their office and only on very rare occasions would I ever get a voicemail. In which case, someone would call me back within an hour! This was HUGE for me because I hate voicemails and automated systems! (Grrrrrrrrrrr) The company sent me a Business Success Kit that contained a training manual so I could follow along with the weekly trainings. There were samples of marketing materials/business tools which allowed me to market the juice professionally. They gave me my own replicated website with “a back office” that allows me to access corporate marketing material that I can actually print right at home. It keeps a record of my sales, my weekly pay and my referrals! The back office even gives me an accounting record and payroll history. I joined their team in July of this year; working only part-time from home. So far, I've earned over $3,000 in retail sales and weekly commissions. I know this doesn't sound like a lot to some, but when you do the math, it’s an extra $750 per month! I work part-time and not at a fast food place; not at a clothing or department store, not in another office, and not cleaning someone else’s toilet. Although there’s nothing wrong with working these kinds of jobs; I’d much rather work any extra hours at home, so I can still spend time with my family. As far as I’m concerned, an extra $750 per month could mean paying off a bill or two; it could also mean getting that new car because now the note and insurance can get paid; but for some people, an extra $750 per month could mean not missing a meal or having to ration what little you do have until next payday. Listen, I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need extra $ in this economy. Do you? Anyway, thought I'd share my “extra money” success story with anyone interested in earning some extra $ in this economy. Besides, what can an extra $750 or more per month do for your household? Here is the website www.MaquiBerryBuilt.com Do the research for yourself. Oh and while you’re at it, pick up a copy of the Network Marketing Business Journal at any major bookstore or on any major newsstand. This company has been named “Company of the Month” for the month of November 2009! If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
