Survey Determines Which MLM Companies Have Most Loyalty from Distributors?and Which is Actually the Best and Why

Hi, I am Gary Konigsberg of Los Angeles. I wanted to confirm that my chosen multilevel marketing opportunity was indeed the best of all the competitor internet and offline-based multilevel marketing opportunities before I gave it a full go at building it. So I decided to go to the top mlm online forums and survey the people there as to which companies had captured their loyalty and why.

I left the door open to be corrected in case anything truly exceptional came across his plate. The results of his postings at the top mlm forums can be found at the website in the resource box below. After taking a good look, I didn?t find anything more exceptional near my "plate" than my healthy coffee opportunity.

After getting many answers in different locations I ams now more confident than ever that his healthy coffee business is the best home based business ever.

It seems that the most popular at these forums are Success University and Usana. They are great programs I am sure but they don?t have the numerous advantages offered by healthy coffee. Most notably, their market is smaller and the response that you get when you try to promote the programs to people is one of unfamiliarity. So you have to do a lot of enlightenment. Whereas the market for the Healthy Coffee biz has the following advantages.

World?s second largest traded commodity second only to oil
Our coffee tastes better than oil. :)
Actually it tastes great.
All the other nutritional juice companies and such offer great health benefits from their product but they are all competing for a share of that same market.
Our market is pretty much everyone you meet.
And there is no sales resistance.
People are delighted to find out that there is coffee that is good for them.
How good? Our coffee has less caf than decaf,
It gives a nice energy boost that lasts throughout the day, not just until the next cup and without the jitters. Also promotes better sleep and?
balances the ph of the body so that all systems and organs of the body get optimized.
Our compensation and bonuses plan is great and you can be a business associate for $100.
And we have had over half a billion in North American sales in our first year alone.
We have been overseas for 10 years.
We are launching a set and forget system in one week?s time so anyone can make money whether they are pro marketers or not."

I invite all who are seeking a fun and lucrative home based business with real benefit to all to help make a better world through healthy coffee. He further invites current business associates of other home based business companies to match up their present home based business against what they currently have. Take an honest look and be willing to make a change if anything better comes along. Such as healthy coffee!

Of course the real story here is that there is now such a thing as healthy coffee. With many Americans poisoning themselves with caffeine loaded coffee 2-5 times/day (one top chain has 300 mgs of caffeine in a single cup!) this is exciting news indeed! What makes this coffee healthy is an herb that has been used in Oriental medicine for 4000 years! Known as the King of the Herbs or Reishi (latin name ganoderma lucidurm) this amazing coffee has less caffeine than decaffeinated but still gives a great energy lift - one that lasts a whole day, not just until your next cup but without the jitters! It also has many tests showing it is beneficial to all conditions, systems and organs of the body? circulatory, digestive, elimination, respiratory, nerve systems all benefit, results have been obtained in treating high blood pressure, high and low blood sugar, prostate, liver and even mental health conditions. It normalizes the entire system and optimizes performance across all areas of biological function. It even detoxifies and promotes a good night?s sleep. This is why it has been known as the king of the herbs for 4000 years in the Orient. So this is exciting news for one and all.

To join me in my quest to make a better world through healthy coffee visit the site in the resource box below where you will also find out the incredible health benefits that this healthy coffee does offer.

What Are Paid Survey Focus Groups and How Do They Work?

Focus Groups, Paid Surveys, & Other Market Research Opportunities Demystified

Businesses and other organizations use focus groups and paid surveys to research consumer and public opinion concerning a variety of issues. Corporations look to focus groups for general help in selling their products to the world at large instead of any type of direct marketing efforts.

Focus groups & Paid Surveys are usually conducted by Market Research companies. Market research companies are hired by the big corporations such as Coca-Cola and Nestle. The reason they do this is because the market research companies have the experience and expertise to make sure the focus groups are accurate and unbiased. If the corporations did this themselves they may not get impartial information and could make mistakes costing them millions of dollars (not to mention their jobs!)

So from here on out, when I talk about companies that conduct focus groups and paid surveys, I am referring to market research companies. These will be the companies whom you will contact, register with, and get paid from. This is VERY important for you to remember.

OK, so what kinds of focus groups and paid surveys exist? Well, generally there are two types: Offline and Online.

Offline:

These are small, roundtable discussion groups on topics ranging from the latest features on internetworking hardware to new flavors of ice cream. They usually involve about 10 participants plus the group leader or moderator. Each session usually lasts about 2 hours and the discussion is "focused" on a particular topic, about which group members share their opinions. An honorarium of $40-$80 for time and effort is very common. It is not unusual for observers from the client corporation to watch the group in action.

In focus groups, unlike telephone paid surveys, people can be shown products or ads and can be given an opportunity to express how they feel and what they think in a normal, conversational setting. As a research method, the use of focus groups is less about statistics and numbers and more about qualitative matters such as whether people find an ad humorous, and why they find it humorous, or if people believe a product is appealing and why they think so.

Online:

Online focus groups and paid surveys are a cost effective alternative to conventional "face-to-face" focus groups. Online focus groups generally invite 8 to 10 people to join for a specified period of time (90 minutes to two hours) in a specialized chat room. This controlled environment allows participants to view text, graphics, sounds/jingles, video or multimedia for evaluation and testing. It is not uncommon for observers from the client corporation to watch the group in action and send private messages to the co-moderators as the group is progressing.

What Are You Afraid Of: Marketing Survey Results About Business Owners Going Cyber

After two weeks of surveying my visitors, I am finally
making an attempt to draw some conclusions. Reading my
visitors replies to the survey questions, I sense one
common concern in one way or another: lack of money
and lack of profits. One person even said, "help me
make money first then i'll send you a payment".

Another theme dominating in people's replies is the
confusion about too many details involved in starting
a web business. If you already have a web site, you
know what this means. Just step aside for a second
and take a look at your business from a newbie's
prospective.

You had to design a web site, put it online, figure
out a way of accepting online payments, find out where
and how to advertise, how to capture your visitors'
e-mail address and how to contact them later to remind
about your products. The list can go on and on, and
if you are not web savvy, you might find yourself
scratching behind your ear not knowing where to
start.

Here are some of the common concerns my visitors had:

- How to reach target audience
(creating a flow of target traffic)
- How to focus their online efforts better
(web business management)
- How to make their web site to sell on the first visit
(direct marketing)
- Lack of time and how to overcome it
(efficient use of time spent online)
- Not enough customers
(finding and selling to a target customer)
- Lack of money to start a business and advertise it
- Fear of technology (general Internet knowledge)
- How to automate some time-consuming tasks
- Making a web site look more professional

Most of the people who filled out the survey are either
stay-at-home moms or people with full-time jobs who
desperately want to make enough money with their business
to quit their jobs. Nothing new there, all right. The
words "fast" and "easy" were mentioned in the replies
quite frequently which tells me that most people who are
starting an online business still don't have a realistic
idea of how much time and energy is involved in making it
a success.

They say, the first million is the hardest. So, please,
do me a favor: the next time you see a "make money while
you sleep" ad, pass it by.

Online Surveys: Scam or Pay Day?

 I recently read an article proclaiming all online survey databases to be scams.

I think many of these complaints betray the sad state of "get rich quickism" that pervades many people online.

The thinking goes "Bill Gates made billions with a computer, so I should just be able to turn mine on and get money to gush out."

I don't believe in luck, but "Good luck" if you believe that's really possible, nothing I say will make sense.

On the other hand, perhaps these facts will help you make REAL money through online surveys.

1) It's true, you'll never get rich doing online surveys. By rich I mean $100,000 or more per year. But really, only 1 ro 2% of the population reaches that income level doing ANYTHING. Some doctors don't even earn that much after expenses and malpractice insurance.

But many stay and home moms or dads don't NEED to earn that much.

Think of it this way mom... how much do you bring home from work?

How much do your have to pay to support your working habit? That is... extra child care costs, lunches out, gasoline, wardrobe expense, the extra cost of eating dinner out because you had to work late and couldn't cook.

And what's the emotional loss to your children or being raised by a stranger?

Unfortunately, many find that the actual profits from mom working outside the home (or working a second job if she's a single mom) are slim indeed.

So you don't NEED to earn a million bucks to replace that.

If you can earn $4 for a 10 minute survey, that's the equivalent of $24 per hour! From home, at your computer. (Or at work on a break...) Some earn much more per hour of course but let's be realistic.

If you really need to earn only $100 extra per week, that's 30 surveys or less. (I can already hear the next objection coming...)

2) But you can't get 30 surveys per week!

Oh really? How many survey firms did you register with? Did you know that one disabled woman who HAD to earn extra money in a low stress job earned (on average) $2,500 to $4,700 monthly? Just by surveys and focus groups?

It's true. She kept on registering with many, many survey firms until she reached the point where she was getting enough surveys every day to generate the income she needed.

That's where having the RIGHT database comes in ...if you join a database with 400+ survey firms listed, you'll more likely reach your goal.

3) But I can find them myself... why pay? I'm sure you can find them yourself. I looked for 6 months off and on to find a "get paid to drive" program. But the cost of my time even at minimum wage was more than the cost of the database. I did cheat though and get the list for free when I paid to join a survey database. If it will take you more than 7 hours to find 450 survey companies, I suggest you just pay $34.95 to join a real database.

The best ones give you "drive for free" and "mystery shopping" listings for free too!

4) By far the most complaints come from those who don't treat this (or anything) like a BUSINESS. If you work at this systematically and persistently. You can create a second income stream to improve your life and lifestyle.

Happy surveying.
