ADVERTISING VS. RECRUITING - HOW ADVERTISING CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR BUSINESS

Read these conversation between me and a prospect about the difference between advertising and inviting/recruiting. I made a Facebook post and someone did an inquiry.

Prospect:
How am I going to earn if I don't invite others? Let's say I invested PHP600.00 and I'll earn PHP300.00 for every 2 person i refer into the program...I think I will be in financial loss?

Me:
If you will do traditional business do you invest or not? You will invest, right? Let's say you invested PHP5000.00 to buy the tools/materials and the processing of documents for your business. Then, you do nothing. Don't sell or don't offer your products/services to people. Do you think you will earn?

Prospect:
Nope. But I got a product or service, so its okay!

Me:
What are you going to do with the products or services? If you don't sell/offer it? What is your point in business? To gain profit or gain financial loss? Why would you get into a business that you do not want to work out? Better you get a job and help your boss to get rich. Don't get into business!

Prospect:
Well, I tried to recruit but nobody likes to join? I offer them my products/services but they don'w want it. How am I going to earn?

Me:
Nobody will join you if you will invite. If I will invite you to join a certain program and you have to fork out money from your pocket, will you join me? Don't do inviting instead you ADVERTISE!. There are many ways to do advertisements or advertise your products or services.

Prospect:
Isn't it also inviting?

Me:
It's not inviting but advertising. Do you watch TV or listen to a radio? What do you see or hear on a commercial?

Prospect:
They are offering products or services.

Me:
See? Do you think you will know about a shoes branded as Adidas if you haven't seen it on ads? Do you think you have known Nike and other high brands of apparel and shoes? Did they invite you to buy? Did they ask your name..Let's say your "Mike". "Mike come and buy this Adidas shoes. Just visit my store."

Prospect:
No, they don't.

Me:
But you bought or avail the products/services advertised because you need the product/service. When it comes to advertising, you offer your products/services to people who need your products/services.

Do not invite people to join under you. If you ask someone but they doesn't like what you are offering they will never take your offer. Think of this:

You went to a store to buy a bath soap and the sales person offered you a laundry soap, what will you do?

In business, ADVERTISING is far way different from inviting/recruiting and there are people who think advertising and referring as the same thing.

Mobitech Solutions Review: A BIG Lie with A Shameful Marketing Front

Disclaimer: All written information on this post is based on the author's opinion from actual experience and research. This article was originally posted on my Facebook page. There are changes on how it was originally written. Read the original version here [...]

Mobitech Solutions - A BIG Lie!

I am really disappointed with Mobitech Solutions as a business and how it is being presented by its members to prospects or possible clients. I almost fall prey with their marketing style. Let me lay the facts what causes my disappointment:

1. Terms and Conditions Misrepresentation
Mobitech Solutions is not claiming as what it is as a business. In their Terms and Conditions, they use the term "dealer". In business terms, a dealer is an individual or firm that buy goods from  a producer or distributor for wholesale and/or retail reselling. Unlike a distributor, a dealer is a principal and not an agent. What really catches my attention is the word principal so I asked uncle google and look what I found:

Law: (1) A party who designates another (the agent) to act on his or her behalf. (2) A party that has the primary responsibility in a liability or obligation, as opposed to an endorser, guarantor, or surety. (3) A person who commits a crime, takes an active part in its commission, or directly  or indirectly counsels or procures another person to commit it.

Online Sources:

Read more: http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/dealer.html

Mobitech Solutions T&C #1, states that your dealership, does not make you, in any manner whatsoever, an employee, a representative, an agent of MOBITECH SOLUTIONS, sponsor and placement.

So, if I join Mobitech Solutions I do not represent them even those members who are promoting them? That's a BS! It clearly shows that MOBITECH SOLUTIONS is taking its hands off from its members  playing and appearing clean in times something messy happens. It is clearly pointing its fingers to the members to be blame. What they are only interested is the money generated by its members from selling their memberships / dealerships.

2. No Reliable Affiliate Products/Services
There is no real product or services to sell so members cannot earn affiliate commissions. The only way to earn is to sell its memberships/dealerships and earn from direct bonuses and matrix pairing from new member's registration. It is purely "pyramiding", no recruit = no earnings.

But hey, they offer e-loading business opportunity, that can be considered  a product? The real question is, "Am I getting the exact value of what I am paying for dealership so I can use their e-loading platform?" The amount 600/450 pesos is too much. Coins.ph can give me PHP50.00 free credits to buy load or start a small e-loading business without spending money out of my pocket.

3. News Reading a Shameful Marketing Front

MOBITECH SOLUTIONS' non-agent or non-representative present news reading as a very reliable income generating opportunity (I almost fall for it). Imagine you are told an extra 260 pesos per day just for reading news article? It is fantastic, isn't it? But it's a LIE!

They are using Adiphy.com which is an online platform that offer its members to earn while reading news articles. In Adiphy's terms, it dictates that as a member, you will be earning €0.01 per read article for the first 2000 articles. Then you earn €0.005 per read article for the next 1000 (making it 3000 read articles), and, €0.001 per read article for the rest of it. You have 600 chances to read articles daily with a 16 seconds timer for each read article. This will take around  2-3 hours to utilize your 600 chances. Also you're earnings are not real money unless you reach the minimum payout amount which is €50 that is paid thru PayPal upon payment request. I did some math, it will take 47~50 days to reach the minimum payout amount. In this part alone, most of MOBITECH SOLUTIONS members base accounts will be suspended or terminated in violation of their terms and conditions section #5.

That MOBITECH SOLUTIONS reserves the right to suspend, and even terminate my membership dealership due to my negligence, false claims, misinterpretation, unethical business conduct, direct or indirect violation of the existing policies and guidelines of the company which is tantamount to a breach of this agreement.

I think almost all members will be penalized for violation of this terms. Will MOBITECH SOLUTIONS be true to its rules? :-) you guess...

4. Only Mobitech Solutions is Making Money from News Read Scheme
Why I am saying this? Well, let me explain as to how does MOBITECH SOLUTIONS is making money with Adiphy.com.

Each member that avail the membership/dealership of  MOBITECH SOLUTIONS has the chance to join Adiphy.com inside the Member's Area. Clicking the button or link to join Adiphy.com means that you as a member will become MOBITECH SOLUTIONS’ Adiphy.com account referral. Adiphy's T&C section 20 states that a "referrer/affiliate sponsor" will earn €0.10 euros per 1000 articles read by each referral.

Imagine the number of people from MOBITECH SOLUTIONS taking part of the news reading scheme...let's say 500 members of MOBITECH x 1000 articles read = €50 euros every 2 days earned by MOBITECH SOLUTIONS and how much do you get? LOL

What is very disturbing on my part is that they're using News Reading as a front for their marketing campaign which is in violation of Adiphy.com’s Terms and Conditions section 12: No resale of Service.

You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the Service (including your Adiphy.com I.D.), use of the Service, or access to the Service.

It is a FREE to join platform and I can use it without paying the MOBITECH SOLUTIONS' membership/dealership fee of 600/450 pesos. MOBITECH SOLUTIONS is not TRANSPARENT.

5. Member Incentives
MOBITECH SOLUTIONS offer incentives to members who are very active in recruiting. Of course that's what it is for top recruiter/seller. You have to feed the dogs to train them and make them behave. Even BIG and REAL companies do that for top sellers. The only issue here is that if you are not good when it comes to lying to people this is not for you.

Now I had presented some FACTS I found about MOBITECH SOLUTIONS these are my opinion:

* I am not against the concept of network/affiliate marketing because we are living in a world with a system of networking and am also into affiliate marketing.

* I believe that for a network company to work and stay for a long time and become sustainable it must have a good product to offer and multiple ways for members to earn. There should be options for members not to recruit but still they can earn. For example, a reliable product/service to sell based from their membership/dealership.

* The return (ROI) must be justifiable. Not so "too good to be true." PHP450/600 pesos investment allowing you to earn 2800 per day? That is unrealistic! All I can think of is, "how many lies I have to make and how many people do I have to fall prey every day to join under me so I can earn such amount?"

* With the matrix calculation, well it seems sustainable since a member is only allowed to have 15 accounts which means a single member cannot out-earn the system having multiple accounts of his own.

* If the influx of people coming in stops, the payment will stop. Why? Because no more membership/dealership fees and there is no real product sold that could be the source of company/member's income.

*  A reliable network company must be TRANSPARENT to its members about every details of its business.

*  A TRUE AFFILIATE/NETWORK company does not teaches its members to be LIARS but value it's members and teaches them the right ethics of marketing to become responsible marketeers.

It will display a summary of your ClixSense account. This includes the number of PTC Ads available to click and the number of Surveys and Tasks available to you. It also gives you a quick overview of your account status, including your balance and past and current earnings, plus one-click access to most pages of the ClixSense site. The information displayed on the ClixAddon is updated every 20 seconds so don't be surprised if something does not match your current account information.

The ClixAddon has a series of options that can quickly be accessed by clicking on the Options button.

3. Upgrade to Premium
Just like any other income opportunity programs, upgrading your membership will increase your earning potential compared to being a standard member.

4. Update Survey Profile
Most of my earnings were from surveys and offers. Update your survey profile and make it up to date so you will receive more surveys to take and offers to complete. The more surveys and offers, the more money you can make.

5. Refer Others
The BEST way to earn with ClixSense is to direct others to join so you'll be able to earn commissions.

YES it is possible to earn good amount of money with Clixsense if you will work on promoting your affiliate link and put some efforts in doing tasks and completing offers. Take note that making money with Clixsense does not happen overnight since this is not a get-rich-quick program.

My Final Verdict
Clixsense is not a SCAM and its a 100% legit and trusted website. The only drawback with ClixSense is that it takes time to reach the minimum payout amount. Your participation in surveys can also be denied if you do not meet the criteria required to complete the surveys. Other than that you have plenty of options to choose from in making extra money with ClixSense. Join ClixSense now and start making money with your online activities.

Paid to Click Review: Get Paid to Click & View Ads

A paid to click site or simply PTC is the internet's best money making program and the easiest way to earn money online without any investment. All you have to do is log on to your account, view ads and complete simple tasks daily and get paid.

How does it work?
A paid to click website act as middlemen (agent) between advertisers and consumers (viewers). The advertisers pay for displaying ads on the PTC website and a part of this payment goes to the viewer when he views the advertisement.

How much do I get paid for?
Advertisement view ranges from $0.001 up to $0.02 with ads availability from 4 to 10 ads or more daily. You will click each ad and wait for the timer to finish (which takes a few seconds), validate it and you get paid instantly. For sure you might be thinking, "there's no way I can make money from that!" It's really true. Your clicks alone will not make you a fortune because it can take some time before you will earn a dollar.

How can I earn more?
Your earning potential with a PTC site is limitless. There a variety of ways for you to earn money aside from viewing ads. Some PTC website have other ways of making money like taking a survey, performing tasks, completing an offer, or even playing a game but the best way to earn money is through affiliate program. These will allow you to earn commissions from purchases, upgrades and earnings from your referrals. Getting referrals is not an easy task but if you are good when it comes to telling people you can absolutely make more money.

What do I need in order to start?
There's no need for an interview to start with paid to click and joining is absolutely FREE. The only thing you need is a computer and internet connection, but you may also need the following:

• An email address.
• A payment processor.
• A local bank account.

Are PTC sites reliable?
Take note that not all PTC sites on the internet are legitimate. Most of these programs are fraud or SCAM so you have to be extra careful in choosing a site to join. Paid to click website is not a guarantee that you will make a lot of money due to its low ad value. The amount of money you will earn solely depends on your dedication and effort.
