Hi, my name is KoriLin... like so many of you, I have tried Party Plan after Party Plan. It's been quite the experience. I stumbled upon Uppercase Living and was truly amazed. This "Verbage" has completely transformed my walls, my rooms, my Vehicle... my life. My upline is just awesome, supportive, loving and I have established a bond with them that has gone beyond work relations to lasting, lifetime friendships. They are like my family.

I chose my company because I was tired of working in a cubicle.  After 13 years of wishing to get out of "the office", I took action.  After much research on work at home businesses, I found my company, Scentsations! I was a customer first.  I tried a hot apple pie candle, and I was in love.  I also tried the bath bar, which cleared up my childrens eczema!  I was hooked.  I checked out their compensation plan and I was amazed that you could make over 50% profit on each candle!   The fact that they also offer us a way to help others by offering our product for fundraisers interested me very much.  Once I joined, I was really impressed with the tranining.  I was involved with a few other direct sales companies before and after I joined, it was kind of like, now what?  This company offers everything I could have ever imagined and then some (the live conference calls are my favorite), why didn't I have this kind of support with other companies?  With the tools in place, it is easy to succeed!.  Offering a heatlhy candle to people that doesn't trigger allergies (which I have) and doesn't produce black smoke on your jars or walls is the best career.  I get to stay at home with my kids and even involve my kids in my business, and they love it!  This company has let me fullfill a dream and I am living proof that it happens!  I love working from home, (no more cubicles - yay!) and I truly love this company.

Company CandleWealth

When I heard about CandleWealth from my dear friend Alissa was sign up for another home business or make candles! I thought she was nuts.  I could barely cook let alone make candles. I soon found out though that Candle Making was easy! I watched the movies, and found out after the purchase of a sample kit that I could make candles too.

 

After I made a couple of candles, I began to see that CandleWealth was not like other home based business opportunities. I could make money by EITHER making and selling my homemade candles OR by referring other people or by BOTH. I studied the compensation plan and quickly upgraded from Free Associate to Candle Master.

 

Everyone loves candles. Our product (NVSoy wax) is truly unique, but to know that you will have to try the product for yourself. What’s the worst thing that could happen? You could wind up with some homemade all natural soy candles lighting up your home!?

 

Thank you for you time – and please visit my website and let me know how I can assist you in getting started in this awesome soy candle making revolution!



Company: AmeriPlan USA

I chose this company because I had tried several other home business's and always ended up with making very little money and  a ton of products on my shelf.

I also know someone who is making $100,000 a year doing this and I thought that if she could do it so could I.

After all she has 5 home schooled children.

I needed something that I could do besides selling products.
This company pays extremely well and gives the option to retire in 2-4 years if you follow the system. Plus they give very generous bonuses and have great health benefits for your entire family.

Where else can you find a work at home opportunity that offers excellent benefits plus excellent pay without having to have home parties, delivering products and no products to buy or demos to buy ever. You work one time and get paid residually month after month year after year.

They are in Excellent standing with the Better Business Bureau which was VERY important to me since there are so many scams out there.

I was skeptical but because my friend was doing it I jumped right in and I am so glad that I did because now we are now building a financial future for our family FINALLY.

I can't believe I found something that works. I LOVE what I do. Just sharing information with people and helping people which is something I have always wanted to do.

Thanks to Ameriplan USA (R) I am building a financial future for us and our children.

Thank you Ameriplan (R)

I needed to find something that I could be passionate about and I found it.  I love being creative and this was a way that I could be artistic and make a living.  I specialize in recycling clothes and making them new by tie dyeing them.  What fun to make a living with a business that you love!!


Company: Whole Food Pharmacy

Website: http://cjnottoli.wholefoodfarmacy.com

After two operations, several fertility treatments and invitro followed by mandatory bed rest, I FINALLY had my first child fifteen months ago at the age of 42. He's totally amazing but I gained 55 lbs and realized for the first time just how vain I am. I needed to lose the weight quickly but I wanted to do so in a healthy way, in an age defying way. 

While I have heard that 40 is the new 20 I also wanted to be proof of that. I don't want my son to feel like he has an old mom. So I went orgonic and I feel great.  Now I want to share my discovery. I'm a distributor for a great company. Check out my website. Get your own free web site. Share the wellth!

I originally became a Demonstrator to get FREE and discounted stamps for myself as I started scrapbooking pictures of my new born son. Of course, I soaked up every free training on stamping and scrapbooking Stampin' Up! offered. 

And after 3 1/2 years of being a "hobbiest", tired of working 60 hours a week as a settlement officer, my husband and I decided that I should actually start working the business! After just 5 short months of holding just 1 party a week, I earned my first FREE Cruise for 2 to Alaska! Currently, I work part-time as a settlement officer, play often with my now 5 year old and spend quality time boating with my family. 

Thanks to Stampin' Up!, I can arrange my schedule around the needs of my family and make money doing it!


Company: The Traveling Vineyard

Name: Shannon Bordelon
Email: info@boutiquevineyards.com
website: www.boutiquevineyards.com

I chose to work for The Traveling Vineyard because I love WINE and I wanted to win a trip to Bordeaux, France.  I have done many DS companies before and always found it hard to get parties booked.  This is the first time that I usually have 5-6 people per party that want to host a party because every party is different since we have so many different wines.  Plus they like the idea that men and women enjoy the parties.  Everyone learns more about wine and gets to try new varietals.  I use to only drink Cabernet's from California.  In the past year I've learned about the world of wine - that there are some great white wines that I never thought I would drink, I've learned about food and wine pairing and I've traveled to Bordeaux.  I would love to have you join my team and learn more about the world of wine.  Cheers!  Shannon


Lifetime Wealth and Wellness
Actually I was not really interested in a work from home business, I was never interested in selling, or party plan of any kind. But a friend approached me about some products that might help me with my allergies and my sons asthma. So we set up our account and switched brands. 

Well after a week I knew that these products were better than anything else out there. I have been a happy customer for over 5 years now, and I no longer use drugs to control my allergies and my son is off both of the puffers he was on. I live in a very dry climate and the products have also made such a difference in my skin. I decided after a year why would I not share these amazing products with others. I was always meeting moms with kids with Asthma, exzema, ADD etc. So my passion for the products just made it easy to help families to switch brands to better, safer, less expensive products delivered right to their door. So I do not do any selling, or parties No inventory etc. I just refer people to the company and take part in the revenue sharing. I love helping others with health or income if they are interested, heck I even have some friends who get their products for free and they have never told a sole about these products. It is just the way the marketing plan works. The business works because we are not MLM, or distributors and the product line is unique to the market place and the company is the manufacturer, so we can eliminate all the middle men, and put more money into the product line by using non toxic ingredients and because they do not advertise like the local grocery store it is just through word of mouth referral, Which is the best form of advertising. 

I love what I do and even if I stopped doing the business I would still get a cheque and I will always be a customer. The products are truly life changing (for me at least). If anyone would like more information please do not hesitate to request more information from my site and you can hear a risk free presentation. 

What do you have to lose, but better health. Do you want a business to make fast money or do you want a residual income to last a lifetime. You decide?

 It just made SENSE to me!! There are really two major reasons why I selected my business. First, I wanted to be a part of something I knew I could actually do. I had tried a party plan in the past and I know that party plans are just not for me
(to each her own!). I was so uncomfortable about trying to book them, and then do them. I needed something that was different! I found it. We don't do sales parties in my business so that is a plus for me! Second, I wanted something I could believe in. I believe in these products and what they stand for.

I have seen improvements in my own household health and wellness. It is because I have switched stores to these wonderful products. Oh and an added bias is that everything was 100% money back guarantee.. for the business kit to the products.. cant beat that in my mind!

We offer some of the most competitive pricing
 I've seen, and the Compensation Plan is phenomenal.
 It only takes a few customers before you start to
 see progress, and you don't have to worry about
 building legs. The company has been in business 15
 years, and has excellent customer service & support
 for members, as well as for their Representatives.
 They are innovative, and offer products, I have not
 seen with other companies yet. Such as 1.9 cents per
 minute state to state, and $10.00 free in
 International calls from your cell phone(no change
 in cell phone providers needed) I am very pleased.


Work at home Company: Where the Winds Blow

Where The Winds Blow  started when I was looking for a particular gold charm.  I simply love playing Mah Jongg (an Oriental tile game) and wanted a gold charm representing Mah Jongg for my bracelet.  I looked for three years, including a search while in China.  At last my husband said "have the darn thing made," and while doing so I realized that other players (there is a LARGE number of players - and growing all of the time) might be wanting one, too.  I quickly added other gifts and accessories and the rest is history!

Comments: I actually got results when I used the products, and the results lasted.  The first product I used were a couple of supplements which made a tremendous difference in my quality of life, then discovered the difference that the skin products made and I was sold.  Each product I tried actually did what was promised and then some.  The company philosophy mirrors  my personal believe that anything I put on my skin or ingest should be natural and add something positive to my health and well being.

I originally signed up just to be a wholesale buyer for the discount.  As I learned more about the company and the business, I became interested in building my own business - something that I controlled.  I have seen several people change their life circumstances with the opportunity that this company offers and am in the process of doing that for my family.

Comments: I became a Once Upon a Family consultant because I truly became
inspired after reading about all of the unique family oriented items.  I
went through a tough time with my mom medically and realized how
important it is to preserve these memories for my children.  It is amazing to see how these products touch the hearts of so many families.  Also I
loved the products and thought the only way I could afford 3 of each( I
have 3 children) was to become a consultant myself.

Comments: Being a stay at home mom of 3 children it was easy to turn to the internet as a means to try and bring in additional income for my family.  Not to mention, this mommy really needed a hobby!  I ran across the idea of a work at home resource website while looking for places to advertise my ebay auctions.   Ebay was the only 'hobby' I had been doing until I decided I wanted to be a site owner. And not just any site owner with a couple pages, I wanted a huge resource for work at home women and mom's to come and promote their business affordably and even for free. And better yet, I would be offering a resource for stay at home moms whom did not work at home yet a great place to come and find work at home opportunities!  I have been running my site now for less than a year (started in mid 2003) and the site has undergone many changes since then, I am always trying to make it better.  I must laugh thinking of my attempt at web design when I first started out.  Now I have learned so much and have made so many online friends.  I have since then expanded my online venture to now owning 4 websites, and running a work at home network with over 600 members. I am helping other mom's succeed at home and I am loving every minute
of it!

Work at home Company: My Homemakers Idea

I went through search engines looking for Home Party plans and direct sales.  I sent away for some catalogs from different yahoo groups and I choose Homemakers Idea Company.  I have been in party plan for 23 years and I love it.  I choose Homemakers Idea because I really loved the product and I loved the hostess program.  The hostess program is important to me because if you have a good product and a good hostess program you will have a good business.

Kathy
 

I choose my online business because it sells products that customers would order several times a year as gifts or use themselves.  Also, many of the products are consumable and therefore I knew re-orders would occur.  I also chose this online business because the company provides you with a website that you can customize and add links to your other businesses as well.  Most of all, I chose this online business because it offered a FREE mentoring program to promote fundraising and corporate gifts along with free leads.  Lastly,  I chose this online business because I know I would love sharing this business with others.

Comments:  Hi! I decided on Southern Living at home for many reasons. I have previously been a consultant for 2 other DS companies, but found that the market was over saturated with consultants. Everyone I talked to knew of a consultant in one of the 2 businesses. So I took a break for a year and researched DS companies on the DSA website. Southern Living at home is owned by AOL/Time Warner so I figured that it was worth a shot when looking at company stability. So I started asking people if they had ever heard of it and the answer was ALWAYS no! So, I started comparing kit cost and compensation plans, etc. and found that they were comparable to other companies. As well, the items are reasonably priced, so having $600 plus shows was do able!

Comments:

1. I wanted an online business.

2. I wanted a business where I didn't have to contact relatives,
neighbors or friends in order to "make it."

3. I identified with the mission: working toward financial freedom
through using sound financial principles with an emphasis on getting out of debt.

4. I wanted a business with a sound "integrity base." This was a *huge*
factor for me. In fact, I spent a good hour on the phone with the CEO
talking about these matters before I joined.

Those are my primary reasons for becoming a rep :)

Enjoy,

Lee

Comments: 
I was surfing the net one day for some "miracle cream" to help moisturize my dry skin.  During my search, I found this ad for Peoples Way.  One of their products is Oil of Mink, in which they advertised this product as having 21 uses for the skin.  I tried it and I am hooked for life.  My face looks and feels younger.  I put a few drops in my bath for an in home spa treatment, and my skin afterwards is velvety smooth.  It is even safe for my children to use in their bath.  Also, my 3 yearld old had these dry patchy areas in the bend of her arm that resembled eczema.  I applied the Oil of Mink to those areas, and within 3 days her dry skin was smooth again.

Peoples Way also offers 2 other products, and combined with the Oil of Mink, I look and feel years younger. Within 2 weeks of using Pro-trim Rx, I noticed I was loosing inches around my waist.  Within 4 weeks, I lost a whole dress size.  I have 4 children at home and I am unable to make it the gym.  With People's Way products, I don't have to.  So now when people say to me, "You look great!  How do you do it?  I simply say, Peoples Way.

Comments: It actually chose me!  About 18 months ago, when she found out I
had a B.A. in Speech Communication, another homeschool mom asked me to teach a Communication class for the local homeschoolers so her dd could attend.  I tried to find a study that was fun, Christian-based and taught life skills such as job interview skills etc.  There is so much more to being an effective communicator than making speeches. 

When I couldn't find a suitable text, I decided to write my own.  I had been writing for over 30 years. 

Before I was finished writing the study, my class was full and I had parents calling and camping out at my doorstep to buy it!  That's when I figured it was a great business idea!

All along the way I have expanded my business due at the suggestion of my customers.  After a time I was asked to create studies for adults, for business owners, for younger children...  I was asked if I would do seminars and teach classes.  Business associates began asking specific questions like: How to I approach trying to get my money back for a defective product?  I created an eNewsletter with a communication advice column called "Ask JoJo". 

Though I had no marketing experience and absolutely NO ad budget, I was actually profitable my first year! 

I love to inspire others to step up and voice their opinions with
eloquence, persuade others of their dreams,  and stand up for their beliefs! 

It has been one amazing ride!

Comments:  I have done many things in my short life, thus far.  I'm what folks have called, "Jack of all trades, Master of none".  So, this time, when I looked for a business, I wanted something different, something that I really cared about.  I have been a vegetarian for a number of years, and I am well on my way to my goal of keeping my family's diet as far from refined foods and as close to whole foods as possible. I had also recently lost my job, and had a new baby girl. A friend introduced me to the business, and when I discovered Sunrider's product line, that was it! I LOVE the products, I love the company's philosophy of regeneration through cleansing, nourishing & balancing the body. The products are right in line with my health goals, so I love the fact that I can buy products from my own business. What I love most of all is the opportunity to spend everyday helping others like me, reach their health and financial goals!

So, I decided that would be a great product to promote. I checked the stats with the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool to find out how many people were searching for autoresponders or related search words each month, then started building content and optimizing my site.

Being able to change handbags in less than 10 seconds appealed to me, as well as impressed me.  Helping other women who may be facing the same issues just made lots of sense.

Comments: I chose my business because I Love Candles! I was a Stay at Home
Mom for 2 years and wanted something to do as well as help to
financially support my family.

I started researching candles companys and wasn't really finding what I wanted. I needed a company with a low start up cost, no quotas and didn't involve me having to invest lots of money that I didn't have.

I found a Mia Bella website and starting looking into the company. Right away I was sold. It was under $40 to get started. No quotas, no demands you work your business the way you want.

I have been with Scent-Sations now for 5 months and it has totally changed my life! I was a shut in Mom, with no friends or any confidence in myself. I had no hopes or dreams or a vision for the future. This company has changed my life in so many ways and I will forever be greatful, and I plan to retire with my Mia Bella Candles!

In closing I just want to say, I love my candles, my company, but most of all I love myself for the first time in my life!! And thats invaluable!! I started out just wanting to sell candles, but have gained so much more. I have a life now thanks to Scent-Sations!

Comments:  I have no inventory, no monthly minimums at consultant level, and paid $29 to start. I spent a lifetime fighting with Eczema and had very sensitive skin. I was searching for something to improve my skin without drying it out. I met a lady who showed me a skin care line I had never seen before. She gave me a mini lesson in what mineral oil does to your skin. I gave her my number and the next question out of my mouth was, "how is this business?" She said, "wonderful," and gave me some information. I talked about it all the way home. My hands looked and felt so much better. I have not had any problems since! It wasn't long after dinner that I called her and said I wanted to join the team. A few months later after attending and teaching Hormone Awareness Classes (Prolief, a natural alternative to HRT's) I found my self having to use it because I was hemorrhaging due to major hormonal embalance. I feel like I am 15 again! I have helped so many woman! It gives me the freedom I needed to raise my child as well. I love Arbonne!!! :)

Comments: What a GREAT question. Actually, I believe the Business I'm in is (Inter)Network Marketing and the reason for this is that it provides a great cover for getting into meaningful relationship with people, globally, and coincidentally can create an unlimited income stream! :-)

The company I chose is Retire Quickly as a result of my personal exploration to understand 'wealth consciousness'.  After having raised three children as a self-employed single parent, constantly falling financially short each month, I set about on a journey to find out what I didn't know and/or what I wasn't applying.

It's been a tremendously enlightening journey and a pivotal piece for me came directly from reading a free report, written by Kelly Reese, CEO of Retire Quickly.  Well, having something of a compulsion to share the wonderful things I run across, being able to share this report as well as the e-course was a natural fit for me!

Comments: When I first became pregnant, I didn't think I  would want to be a stay at home mom.  But that all changed with the birth of my daughter.  I had to find a way to be home with her.  So, I started searching for an at home business that matched with my beliefs and abilities.  I needed a company that had a proven track record, could provide financial security for my family, and fit my interests of helping others through education and wellness.

 I found that by working with a support group of other moms called The MOM Team and we are marketing executives for a terrific health and wellness company.  I absolutely love what I am doing now.  I am able to stay home with my daughter, provide a healthier environment for my family, help others do the same, and still earn an income. It just doesn't get much better that that!
