Cash Gifting: Would You Recognize a Cash Gifting Program Today?

Cash Gifting Programs Today

Cash gifting programs are quite popular on the Net. But, would you recognize a cash gifting program if you saw one?

Let's first understand what a cash gifting program is. A cash gifting program is one in which you can receive cash from someone without providing them a product in return. You get into a cash gifting program by giving your sponsor cash. After that, you can find others who will give you cash.

Now, that's the bare bones version. You'll find a number of these programs on the Internet. If you receive email you've undoubtedly gotten ads for cash gifting programs showing the UPS man arriving at someone's door. They open the envelop and pull out a stack of hundred dollar bills.

But, there are a number of people who think such "schemes" are unethical. And, they wouldn't even think of getting involved with such a program.

So, many entrepreneurs have dressed up the cash gifting opportunity in new clothes. While the essence of the cash gifting program remains, these dressed up programs usually include a variety of products, usually digital products.

You'll find a number of programs being offered that include hundreds, if not thousands, of digital products. These can include software programs, ebooks, as well as audio and video courses. Most of these products are offered with resale or even master resale rights. This means a member can resell these products and keep all their profit. And, many people who join these organizations do make a substantial income from the sale of these products.

But, most people who join these organizations make the majority of their income from getting other people to join the opportunity. In most cases, nearly all the cost to join these organizations goes to the sponsor of the new recruit. That can amount to a thousand dollars or more.

Such organizations typically collect the new recruit's joining fee and distribute a share to the sponsor. The new recruit does not send cash directly to their sponsor.

Some organizations provide significant services to their members. To finance these services they take a cut of the joining fees. This cut funds such activities as the development of web sites, training materials, and providing online training to members. But, still, the majority of the joining fee goes to the sponsor of the new recruit.

One new development in this opportunity niche is residual income. Traditionally, members of most cash gifting programs receive income only from new recruits. An innovation in the industry has members now paying a monthly fee. Some of this fee may go to support the organization's infrastructure while the rest of the monthly fee goes to the sponsor. This feature greatly increases the income a member can receive as a good recruiter.

So, it's the aspect of making lots of money by recruiting others that makes these organizations cash gifting programs in new clothes. So, look closely at the commission structure of organizations you are thinking of joining to determine if they are profitable cash gifting programs.

Tips on Running an Internet Marketing Business

An Internet Marketing business does not have to take up most of your time. You actually can have flexible working hours. But, you must remember that it's a "business." It requires consistent and persistent effort. By starting part time while you're still working, you will have an income even if your Internet marketing business doesn't start out making huge amounts of money for you.

Every business is a risk. An Internet marketing business is no different. The advantage of setting up an Internet marketing business is you can do it on a on the cheap, making the risk more comfortable.

While an Internet marketing business can be emotionally and financially rewarding, it can also be challenging and frustrating. Some Internet marketing businesses do not take off immediately and the rewards can only be seen after learning the ropes.

An Internet marketing business requires a new skill-set for most people.

Working at home can also spell boredom after several years of working in an office with plenty of people.

How do you choose the right business for you?

Take an inventory of your skills, talents and your experiences at your job or in another business. Then make a list of ten or so Internet marketing business niches you are interested in. Cross check this list with your talent and skills list.

You should then have a good idea of what business niches are ideal for you given your talent and experience. See if you can correspond with others in the top niches. Ask them for the best resources that helped them most.

A workable Internet marketing business niche must be responsive to or create a market need. It also must last for a long time. So, depending on your skills and interest, even a highly competitive niche can be conquered.

You must also consider if you have the financial resources and interest to maintain the business effort required before you build an income. Most Internet marketing businesses don't automatically generate lots of money right from the start. So you have to sacrifice time and financial resources to help the business grow.

Running you own Internet marketing business is an entirely different ball game from your job. You have to keep yourself highly motivated and confident. You're on your own and you do not have a boss hovering over your shoulder to see that things are being done well. You have to be your own boss. You'll have to develop your skills and manage your schedule to make your Internet marketing business grow and prosper.

See an Internet marketing business that develops both your mind-set and your skill-set.

21st Century Prospecting -- It Not Like You Dad Remembers

It's All About Downline Building


You know the importance of building a downline.

Your downline helps build your income. Whether you're in a MLM organization or just get commissions from those you personally sponsored, building your downline is critical.

So, how do you go about recruiting new members?

Of course the old way was to contact people and arrange to meet them at a hotel where your organization held it's opportunity meetings. You found prospects anywhere you could. You found them in the mall, the bathroom, in the lunch line. And, don't forget the 200 person list of friends, relatives, even the postman.

Well, all that's changed since the Internet became popular. Now you can advertise and attract people to your "capture page" where they can enter their name, email address and often their phone number if they like what they see on your web page.

The captured information (name, email address, and phone number) then go into a database usually associated with an autoresponder. The autoresponder sends off prepared emails to prospects telling them about your opportunity and inventing them to your online opportunity meeting or training classes.

People from across the country or around the world can attend your opportunity presentation on an Internet "webinar." A webinar is like a lecture hall with an area where documents or web sites can be displayed. There's even an option for people viewing the webinar to enter text questions or even speak to the presenters.

Now, people spend most of their time driving traffic to their capture pages. That's what the business of building a downline is all about.

In addition, you can pay others to help build your downline. Once an organization has the skills to drive people to a capture page they can sell you hot lead lists that you can contact via email or call and talk up your opportunity. One such organization is Automatic Autoresponder.

Some organizations will also get prospects to actually sign up for a free trial at your opportunity's signup area. This can be a real advantage if you are limited in time or knowledge about the Web. One such organization is Signups Guaranteed.

Signups Guaranteed


In any case, the important thing to remember is that recruiting in the 21st century is all about finding targeted prospects on the Web.

Wishing you the best,
