Cashing In On Christmas Review – Ho Ho Ho!

It is rare that we review or recommend any products that have anything to do with making money online or home based businesses. The market is just flooded with get rich quick schemes and snake oil salesmen that promise easy riches but the honest truth is that most of these guys make their money selling get rich quick schemes and the like.

The industry is just flooded with books that promise big money for little or no work and the simple truth is that it takes work to make money. Most of the websites that you visit with these screen shots of boated bank accounts and huge checks are either photoshop fakes or the money was made doing something other than what they're trying to sell you.

The exception to the rule that we have made here on Consumer Products Overview is in a system called Cash in on Christmas. We were really excited when we found this book or business plan because it was so different than all the other junk out there. It was an actual business plan with all the information that you would need to start your own Christmas light installation business. Pretty dang clever, don't you think?

The thought of bringing happiness and joy to people around Christmas time while being able to make some really good money just seems like a great idea. We could imagine ourselves ramping things up in October or November as the holiday season approached and we got things in place for Christmas. Maybe a few flyers or Craigslist ads or even a mailer sent to some of the neighborhoods in our area in addition to some of the other advertising ideas that are in Cash in on Christmas and we were sure that we could make enough money to make it worth our while.

If you haven't checked out the graphics for the promotional materials that come with Cash in on Christmas you really should. Top notch stuff that's all done for you so all you have to do is take it to the printers or print it out yourself and your advertising is done. The stress of coming up with a nice design that is going to look professional is all done for you ahead of time.

Upon further investigation though we realized that Cashing in on Christmas was more than just a turn key plan for a nice little side business. Oh, sure… it is definitely suited for folks who have a landscaping business or dog walking business or other service business that deals with home services but the amount of money that can be generated by using the plan in Cashing in on Christmas is just sick!

Now, while the amount of money you make does depend upon how hard you work and how much of the work you do yourself we can easily understand how someone could turn the business plan in Cashing in on Christmas into their primary source of income. You could work your tail off over the holiday season and make enough money to easily glide through the rest of the year…that is, if you're good at budgeting your money. Well all have heard stories of people who hit the lottery for a million bucks and then are filing bankruptcy a year later!

Overall, we have to say that Cashing in on Christmas is a resource that we would recommend to anyone and one that we ourselves look forward to implementing in our own lives very soon. We have no doubt that this is not a rip off or scam and it's pretty much a no brainer when it comes to knowing that this is a solid business model that could be not only profitable but fulfilling emotionally.

Millsberry Review – A Great, Free To Play Online Virtual World

Millsberry is an online virtual world game created by General Mills, the food giant. The virtual world is however 2D and not 3D. Millsberry can be played online and is totally free of cost. Once a player signs up and creates an account, he or she has a variety of options to choose from- the avatar's outward look, the clothes etc. These things can be purchased using Millsbucks, the currency form of the game. Initially every player is provided a certain sum of money, but later, the players have to earn this money by playing different mini games.

Every player's performance in the game is judged by the following 5 factors- Health, Fitness, Intelligence, Civics and Hunger. In fact, Millsberry is a very educative game- children get to learn to open a bank account, or to send a post at the post office and several other things, which come in handy in life.

However, what excites the children are the options available for customisation of the avatar and all the goodies they can buy once they have enough millsbucks. They can buy their own house, decorate it, make friends and visit their homes. Having said that, the virtual world lacks the X factor as it is two dimensional. One doesn't ever get a holistic idea of how the place looks like. The navigation is a little rough and there are other technical problems as well. Because of these, the children are sometimes left dejected- they create their perfect house but somehow. It just doesn't look that great in the game. This problem is compounded by the fact there is no preview option.

The Millsberry mini games aimed at the collection of Millsbucks are interesting. Games like Archery and Solver keep the kids hooked on Millsberry. They lay great emphasis on creative activities like music and photography. Thus, they promote these interests in kids and kids get to develop their skills here.

But again, they come with their own set of problems. The instructions for these games are very unclear and kids are left confused about the rules. Also, the games tend to become repetitive and boring after a point of time.

The plot of the game has weekly stories which are also related to mini games. These are updated regularly but still, there isn't a central story line running through Millsberry. Nevertheless, the weekly aspect manages to keep the kids curious.

One area that is flawless in Millsberry is the safety aspect. Parents have absolutely no reason to feel worried about their kids playing Millsberry. There is no offensive language, no obscenity at all. But this is a direct implication of the fact there is no communication in the game. Millsberry lacks any interactive qualities and has only educative books. This makes the game a little monotonous. After all, kids love to interact and make friends.

Millsberry also falls short when it comes to the community aspect. There is no sense of social bonding. One would expect it to have a strong community, it being an online game. But there are no chat forums or any platform that facilitates conversations between fellow players. There are only a select few pre-determined phrases which cannot support a normal conversation.

General Mills has also used Millsberry virtual world to advertise their own products. All the food products that can be bought in the game carry their logos. These products are ridiculously over priced and this reportedly bothers parents. They believe that since everything is so expensive, children tend to get obsessed with collecting money. They are solely driven by consumerist tendencies. However, this is one of the minor problems.

Thus, Millsberry is cute and enjoyable for kids. But it has its share of technical and thematic problems which need to be looked into.

Infinity 100 Scam? Here's My Infinity 100 Review

There's a lot of buzz going around about Infinity 100 and whether or not it's a scam. I too, being the skeptic that I am, was quite reluctant to dish out another 100 bucks for another so called money making scheme, but I had a friend who had just got started and he already had his money back. Not that that would be a sign for everyone to start jumping in, but this friend was totally clueless about internet marketing.

I looked it over and thought what the heck. If he, not knowing anything about internet marketing has already made his initial 100 dollars back, then I, being somewhat knowledgeable at internet marketing should be able to get my money back and then some fairly quickly. And, since I had a few other acquaintances asking me if Infinity 100 was a scam, I thought I could at least give it a try and write an honest review. So this is it. My Infinity 100 review.

I signed up for the program and paid my $100 fee, which also set up a monthly subscription through PayPal, meaning I would be charged $100 every month if I decided to stay. I immediately got access to the back office where there is invaluable information on how to market the program and other stuff that you can pay for to get you going, but my main goal was to do what anyone can do on a zero money budget to get traffic to my new site and see what kind of results there would be, so I started placing ads on free ad sites like USFreeads.com and Classifiedsforfree.com. Nothing happened the first day and so I placed more ads the next day. Still, nothing seemed to be happening except that there were now some opt-ins on my lead capture page.

That is what made me keep going even though I wasn't getting any paid sign ups, because I knew that those people who had entered their name and email address into my Infinity 100 lead capture page were going to start getting auto-responder emails about the system and knowing internet marketing as well as I do, capturing leads and sending out auto-responder emails is what can really make or break a business.

On my fourth day I finally got my first paid sign up. My initial investment was back in my hands, because I received 100% of the commission directly into my PayPal account. That was great. The next day I got another sign up, but I didn't get the money.

Here's why.

It went to the person I signed up under. And that is what makes the Infinity 100 system explode over time. It's' a 2-up system which means 2 of your sign ups move up to your sponsor. Your first sign up is yours and you get the money. The second goes to your sponsor. He gets them as a direct sign up and he gets the money. Your third sign up is yours to keep. They are signed up directly under you and you get the money. Your fourth goes to your sponsor again. That is 2 that you have passed up and 2 that you get to keep. Now you will never have to pass up any more.

So now watch how this thing can explode. Let's say you sign up only four. Two you had to pass up and the other two you keep. Now, when each of those two get their first sign up they get to keep them in their direct downline and they get the money. The second one moves up to you. So that's now two more people in your downline and when they get their third sign up they keep it and then their fourth moves up to you again.

That's now a total of six people in your direct downline and you are receiving $100 a month from each of them. But hold on. You've already received your 2-up from 2 members of your downline, but now you have 4 others that will pass 2 up to you making that 8 more added to your 6, totaling 14. And all you did was personally sign up 4. Now when those 8 pass up their 2 to you that will be 16 more added to your 14 totaling 30 100 dollar bills hitting your PayPal account every month. Now it starts to get mind boggling. You now have 16 more who are going to pass up 2, and then 32, and then 62 and wow!

You do the math. It continues to infinity, and that is why it is called Infinity 100. You can't stop the 100 dollar bills once it gets started.

The 2-up system is ingenious. After I got my first 4 personal sign ups, I quit placing ads and just put my time into helping those 4 get their 4 sign ups and encouraged them to do the same and that teamwork has built an income that is almost unimaginable. My income is continually growing from the efforts of others.

So, Is Infinity 100 a scam? My bank account says NO. And that is my Infinity 100 review.

100 Percent Winners By Steve C: Sports Betting Software Review

First of all, on this subject of sports betting software, let me be clear and let you know that this is not some advertising testimonial. I am not a gambling man. I only went to Atlantic City for the clubs, hotels, and the boardwalk, so if anyone was skeptical of any sports betting software, it was me.

The first thing that grabbed me about this sports betting software was the guarantees it made. Most products, let alone software, have some sort of disclaimer that is intended to cover themselves from any legal action that may be taken against them. This sports betting software does not have that. All they have is a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with your results. They make it very clear that the results of using the sports betting software ARE typical, which is very rare for any money making system, let alone sports betting system, available online. This is what impressed me before anything.

Secondly, they have nothing to hide with their system. They keep their own results updated and displayed on their site, which show the most recent results of others using this exact sports betting software right there on their site. This says a lot.

As I really got into this sports betting software product, I got an even deeper understanding of why this so-called sports betting software really works. They sent my software download and easy to follow guides and video material right away, so there was no wait for anything to get started immediately. Once I got it, I was witness to it literally doing all the work for me. It finds you the guaranteed bets that will make you a profit, regardless of what your interests are. This is great because it takes out any emotion you may have implicated in your betting strategies. Its sole purpose is working the odds in your favor, which really makes this thing absolutely a work of art. Personally, I never knew that it was possible to take the gamble out of betting, but this sports betting software has done just that.

Finally, they offer great customer support. They want you comfortable and making money, so they give you all the help you need in order to do just that. They welcome your feedback, good, bad or indifferent, and answer any support questions you may have in a timely manner. This is something that is lacking in most online programs overall. And for a sports betting software that may be deemed as cheating by most sports organizations, it's nothing less than wonderful.

Like I stated before, this is not a testimonial, this is a hands-on review of this product. So next is the price. Let me first say that the cost of this sports betting software versus what it will do for you does not match at all. However, the recurring monthly fee that they tack on makes more sense and adds to its credited value. I truly dislike monthly fees, but when you are literally guaranteed to be making money, it makes it much easier to swallow, as there is no gamble to potentially put you in debt. As a matter of fact, it makes sense for them to just make this sports betting software system affordable and keep you paying while you earn, in order for them to not waste their time on people who are just in the habit of hoarding different downloads on their hard drive.

Bottom line, this is one of the best overall systems I have ever come across online in a very long time, and I am saying this from experience. If you like to gamble, then this isn't for you. If you like to make money in a fun way, then this is for you. You are guaranteed to do more than just break even every month. Yes, this is a bold statement, but so is this betting software, bold. Final words: this sports betting software really takes the betting out of the game and makes you a 100 Percent Winner.

Team National Review - Is The Team National Mlm Home Business A Good Way To Make Money?

What is Team National? Team National Review

Team National is a $200+ billion a year network marketing company (or MLM home business) founded in 1997 by Dick Loehr. Located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the company is a legitimate business as evidenced by their various designations and associations: members of the Direct Selling Association (DSA), a Registered Member of Dunn & Bradsteet (D&B), a Member of the US Chamber of Commerce and a Member of the Better Business Bureau of Southeast Florida (BBB), plus strong endorsements from people like best selling author & leadership development coach John Maxwell, among others.

The "Product" of the Team National MLM Home Business:

Every legitimate MLM home business company must market something of value to its customers in order to generate revenue to the company and to be able to pay it's network of distributors. Team National is different however, in that it markets a membership to help people save money who use it on a vast array of products and services in over 20 different industries. Since 1997, total membership and product sales is approaching $1 billion.

The idea behind developing a company to provide benefits and services - now called membership savings - came as Dick envisioned an MLM home business program, that would allow anyone who owns a membership package to enjoy the type of discount buying power as a Fortune 500 company. Starting with only a few basic discounts - savings on oil changes and new car purchases - the Team National MLM home business now offers substantial savings on everything from small everyday items (household goods, business supplies, communication services, insurance and travel services, clothing, food, you name it...) to larger once-in-a-while type items like jewelry, home furnishings, vehicles and toys.

They split the savings into 4 different divisions:

1. Factory Direct (up to 65% savings on items like jewelry and home furnishings)

2. Group Buying Power (over 20 different industries)

3. Business Exchange - save locally at thousands of small businesses across the country

4. E-Commerce - up to 30% commissions from over 100 popular and brand-name retail stores with a Team National website

The Opportunity for a Team National Home Business:

AlthoughTeam National's membership program demonstrates clear value and representatives - or Independent Marketing Directors (or IMDs) as they're referred to - who mainly want to sell the aspects of the membership in order to get sales will not make much money with Team National. As with all MLM home businesses, MLM and internet home based businesses, creating a sustainable, booming, walk-away residual income requires leverage in the form of team building. Through building teams, you can multiply your efforts to get not just a few membership packages purchased; in fact, it's possible to get hundreds and thousands of memberships purchased through your network from which you receive your override so-to-speak (just like an insurance broker receives an "override" on the accomplishments of their people).

The Team National compensation plan offered is also one of the better ones in the industry simply because of the amount of money Team National pays out. This is because the company pays out 72% of the price of the memberships back to the reps in commissions and bonuses with their hybrid binary structure. This unusually high compensation amount - they talk about weekly pay for your first "Progression check" of $1,500 - is because there is no needed product markup or profit margin added onto the price of the membership. This enables the company to negotiate these savings based on the group's high-volume buying power (just like a nationwide co-op). This again is one main advantage Team National has over its rivals in the industry.

Highlights of the Team National MLM Home Business compensation plan:

As discussed previously, the Team National business model as with most network marketing companies, pays out the most for those who build teams (because that gets more memberships purchased). Using their hybrid-binary structure, they pay out between $25-$100 for every membership sale. In addition, Team National has created a points system where just 4 membership sales (on average) in each leg of the binary will produce a $1,500 check as often as weekly (see compensation plan for exact details). This is strong compensation and as your team grows you earn additional legs (paycenters they call them) which each pays out an additional $2,500 when on average 4 sales are made on each of the paycenter's 2 legs. This can add up to substantial income for the serious business builder.

It's worth noting the difference between $25-$100 per sale (for the salesman) versus building a team and being paid $1,500 from 4 or so membership sales in each leg that you or your team bring in. All in all, Team National is one pretty powerful MLM home business for those who approach the business the correct way.

So how does a Team National IMD go about building a thriving, income-producing team?

First, you must have some kind of system in place to help you promote to find and qualify potential business partners to present the Team National MLM home business opportunity to. You can do this by just talking to people you know, or you can work smarter by utilizing the power of tools like the internet to help you sort through an almost endless quantity of probable prospects actively searching for an opportunity like the Team National MLM home business provides. Work smarter to leverage your income and get your business in front of more people to make more money (it's all a numbers game after all) or continue doing what you've always done if you want to continue to get the same results.
