Big Al will be scheduling a conference call for this. This is SOOOOOO Important to understand
It is Not a Requirement…But Neither Is Success
Would You Like To Earn a Bonus?
Market America is simply making things bigger, better, faster, and easier.
With new services, products and technology, we're changing the way people shop and changing the economic paradigm. With the unique UnFranchise® Business System, anyone can become financially independent. We are creating our own economy. As we continue into the fourth quarter of the Advertising Bonus Pool, it is important to know the purpose of this initiative, to understand exactly how it works, and the dynamic of this new revenue stream.
We recently completed the third quarter of the Advertising Bonus Pool program. The Bonus IBV that has been distributed to the qualifying Shop Consultants (those who satisfy the necessary criteria) in the first three quarters has proven to be a tremendous economic stimulus for the IBV side of the MPCP. How would you like to be rewarded with an IBV bonus for simply doing the same things you should already be doing to build your business!? Imagine being notified that you have bonus IBV to place within your organization!
Almost one year ago, Market America introduced the new criteria necessary to accrue IBV month to month:
The month-to-month IBV requirements are as follows:
Complete the Getting Starting Wizard
Order 10, 20 or 30 IBV each month by your Q-date (Based on your IBV commission earnings)
Make $50 in personal purchases from Partner Stores by your monthly Q-date
Generate 50 BV in sales from your Web Portal, Mini-Website(s) and/or PC Autoship by your monthly Q-date from Preferred Customers Please pay close attention to the next two sentences.
Rather than enforcing the new criteria for all Shop Consultants, Market America's management, in coordination with the Advisory Council, made the decision to create a "challenge" and a "bonus" involving the new requirements. By doing so, Market America made the richest and most realistic compensation plan even richer! Remember: the requirements to earn bonus IBV from the Advertising Bonus Pool form a challenge, and successful completion results in a bonus!
The benefits of bonus IBV have even resulted in several recent Pin Level
advancements:
Executive Director Min Liu, Executive Field Vice President Amber Yang, and International Field Chairman Elizabeth Weber are evidence that this newfound revenue stream has made and will continue to make a positive impact on the Market America economy. Duplicating the criteria to earn bonus IBV will generate more in commissions, and by repeating it quarter after quarter, this bonus challenge will create the behavior and practices that will enable Market America to increase IBV values, increase Cashback amounts and award even more bonus IBV.
Market America is becoming more and more attractive to advertisers due to our growing traffic and loyal consumer base. There is a continued increase in advertising revenue from efforts to drive more traffic, create an addictive user experience and convert more sales. The revenue that is being generated from Adsense and paid banner advertisements on the Web Portal and other Market America websites is being accumulated in the Advertising Bonus Pool.
The Advertising Bonus Pool is a "challenge" and successfully meeting the criteria results in a "bonus." We are rewarding YOU and your organization with bonus IBV created from the advertising revenue, so that you and your organization can earn even more through IBV commissions. All you have to do to take part is satisfy simple objectives (all of which are basic requirements to grow your business).
To date, Market America has assigned over 1.5 million IBV!
1st Qtr. Oct. 2 — Jan. 7 – 505,393 IBV was awarded to 1,071 bonus winners 2nd Qtr. Jan. 8 — Apr. 8 – 505,393 IBV was awarded to 1,164 bonus winners 3rd Qtr. Apr. 9 — July 7 – 550,877 IBV was awarded to 1,350 bonus winners
Consider this…
Due to the fact that volume accumulates up the line of sponsorship for everyone, bonus IBV positively affects thousands of Shop Consultants. In addition to earning bonus IBV, those Shop Consultants who satisfied the criteria are eligible to participate in the lead generation program. Now that Market America products are being featured on SHOP.COM, Sears.com, Bing and other sites, we are gaining more exposure and creating more customers. With the lead generation program, we are assigning these new customers to UnFranchise Owners who qualify for bonus IBV from the Advertising Bonus Pool.
The activities (quarterly criteria) to qualify for bonus IBV from the Advertising Bonus Pool stimulate more advertising revenue and will enable us to increase IBV values. It brings many people in the line of sponsorship close to earning IBV commissions and numerous others to the point of actually earning them. The amazing thing is that the more people qualify for the program, the more advertising revenue will increase, due to higher traffic and more conversions, which is what advertisers pay for.
Additionally, we have demographics and data on the customers, which enable us to get higher rates from advertisers. Simultaneously, this allows us to raise IBV and/or Cashback on products. The Advertising Bonus Pool will play an even more important role in the future of Market America as we continue our integration with SHOP.COM.
Think about the possibilities…
In the last quarter, 550,877 IBV was assigned equally to 1,350 Shop Consultants. Imagine as the program grows — in the future, we can have as much as $2,000,000 (3,080,000 IBV) to assign. This would result in 3,080 bonus IBV being assigned if 1,000 Shop Consultants qualified, or 616 bonus IBV assigned if 5,000 Shop Consultants qualified. If even more Shop Consultants qualify, and more revenue is generated, we can have even more funds in the Advertising Pool — like $10,000,000 (15,400,000 IBV) — to assign. This would result in 1,540 bonus IBV assigned if 10,000 Shop Consultants qualified for the program. Remember, the more Shop Consultants qualify, the more IBV is accumulating in your left and right banks! More accumulation = more IBV commissions earned = more Shop Consultants closer to earning commissions.
With 1,071 qualifiers in the first quarter each receiving a portion of
505,393 IBV, 1,164 qualifiers in the second quarter receiving part of
505,393 IBV and 1,350 qualifiers in the third quarter receiving a section of 550,877 IBV, this program has directly resulted in hundreds of people receiving checks, and put thousands more in range of earning commissions.
Those who are close to receiving a check begin to shop more on the Portal in order to hit their commission. This affects everyone in the line of sponsorship. Every quarter when more people take part in this program, more people hit checks or get closer to them. It truly is an economic stimulus. The key is duplication – how many people are satisfying the criteria in your organization?
Consider this…
The amount of IBV an individual earns can vary – the more people qualify, the less each individual receives, depending on the amount of available advertising revenue and bonus IBV in the pool. If twice as many people qualify for a set amount of available IBV, then each individual receives half of what they would originally have earned. However, this doesn't mean that the payout you receive is less, because of the MPCP. Everyone gets credit for the IBV earned in the vertical lines of sponsorship – so you will still earn extra IBV! And if more people are qualifying, more advertising revenue will be injected into the pool, so the IBV available will grow! The amount that one benefits is dependent on the total IBV bonus accumulating up the lines, so it begins with you. You simply need to lead by example and qualify. The key to experiencing benefits is the number of people in your organization who you have motivated to satisfy the criteria. Not only does meeting this challenge produce more IBV and BV by satisfying the criteria in the MPCP, but you also have more people receiving bonus IBV and getting close to earning IBV commission checks.
It makes sense to get everyone in your organization to satisfy the criteria to earn bonus IBV, because it will help everyone earn more commissions as the IBV flows up the lines of sponsorship. Furthermore, the Bonus IBV that is assigned has a long term affect on commissions because IBV has a lifespan of two years! As more people earn through this program, it motivates those who have not met the requirements to work on achieving the same success. Now is the time to be sure that you and your organization qualify and duplicate through the MPCP to increase your accumulation and earn bigger IBV commissions more frequently.
The more people who satisfy the Advertising Bonus Pool criteria, the more BV, IBV and retail profits will be earned. As more UnFranchise Owners satisfy the Bonus IBV Criteria, more customers start shopping on the Web Portal. Because of the increased traffic and conversions, more advertising revenue will be generated. The more advertising revenue that is generated, the more bonus IBV will be assigned! Those who are meeting the criteria are benefiting doubly – from the IBV bonus pool and the lead generation program!
Important points to understand:
This program is about more than just the amount of bonus IBV distributed directly to you. The key is really the number of people in your organization that you have qualifying for the Advertising Bonus Pool and the cumulative amount of IBV flowing up your line of sponsorship. So the way to maximize your benefit is to get everyone on board satisfying the Advertising Bonus Pool criteria and duplicate. It is possible for the amount of bonus IBV personally received by each qualifier to go down while the total amount of the pool goes up, if there are more people meeting the qualification criteria. However, the more people qualifying in your organization, the bigger the share of it you get, which ultimately equals a higher amount of IBV flowing up.
The more people doing the result producing activities needed to qualify for the Advertising Bonus Pool, the more advertising dollars are generated. The increased volume leverages the collective buying power of Market America to drive up the IBV and Cashback offered by Partners and affiliates on the Web Portal.
The more people in your organization satisfying the criteria and taking advantage of the eight primed pumps, the more BV and IBV is generated — whether it's from shopping on the Portal, or increased orders. The more people are buying and selling, the more IBV is injected into the MPCP. Now that you get nearly real-time IBV, you can assign it like BV to get the maximum possible return. This is powerful. With the Online Home Shopping List, you can easily transfer your buying habits, and those of your customers (especially with the motivation of Cashback), so that you can earn even more retail profits and commission. You can even add products to Auto Ship, so they'll be conveniently delivered right to your door at whatever interval you choose! It doesn't cost any money to do this. You are simply transferring dollars you are already spending and saving money.
It is important to understand this! This is also true for your Preferred Customers. Do not forget how much you are all saving in gas and time by not having to go to the store and fight traffic and lines. When Alice.com goes live, you and your customers will be able to order grocery items and take advantage of free shipping! THIS IS A GAME CHANGER IF YOU USE IT!
The IBV from the Advertising Bonus Pool stays in the system for over a year. It affects everyone in the line of partnership in the MPCP — even people who have not qualified yet, encouraging them to do more, and bringing many people closer to earning checks. This is much better than a one-time cash bonus to those qualifying in a quarter! Understand the power of this in the plan!
Market America's President & CEO, JR Ridinger, decided that the company would match the advertising money in the Pool during the first year, up to one million dollars to "Prime the Pump!" As a result, over 2 million bonus IBV will be assigned as a stimulus for the IBV side of the MPCP. The company, especially the IT teams under COO Marc Ashley and CTO Michael Brady's leadership, worked tirelessly to prime all eight pumps and provide you with revolutionary and cutting-edge tools to drive business to your Portal and volume to your BDCs.
This is no small accomplishment, and the eight primed pumps make a huge difference. Technologies like SHOPBOX, ma Network, the Social Media Tool Kit, the online Home Shopping List, the associate program with widgets, Cashback (and increased Cashback), the customer privilege program (which allows for things like free or reduced shipping, discounted retail prices, percentage discounts on orders of a certain amount, specific promo codes to be used on the Portal for ma products, and more), real time IBV, Hot Deals, coupons, bar code comparison shopping, and mobile apps are allowing Market America to lead the parade. Of course, the SHOP.COM powered by Market America integration takes it all to another level. As Marc Ashley explained at Convention, we have taken away every excuse and made this a no brainer. Market America primed the pumps and did our part. Now it's time for you to prime YOUR pump and duplicate your actions throughout your organization.
8 Pumps:
Online Home Shopping List
Higher Cashback program with more limited time and limited quantity deals on ma-branded products
More people in the field using the "Invite Friends" tool to invite all their friends to shop on their Portal
The brand new PRM tool working in conjunction with the lead generation program to pump out a maximum number of leads
The Associate PC Program for customers using the "Invite Friends" tool, ma Widgets and the Banner Share Program
Social media and SEO/SEM campaigns are kicking into high gear. (Shop Consultants promoting their Portals, and ma getting more leads using SEO/SEM and social media)
Creating the Client Privilege Program, a program to convert more existing customers to shop from the Web Portal

Are You Up For the Challenge?
Below are some tips, suggestions and information that you will find helpful for meeting the Advertising Bonus Pool criteria and earning through the MPCP.
Always make sure that when you go to a Partner Store, you are actually clicking through one of the Partner Store links on your Web Portal.
Make sure that you are logged in as a PC. If you are not logged in, then orders will not track. Logins can be fully logged in or EZ-Registered.
If you visit other sites to compare, do not click on any of their ads or links. Always make sure that you click through our links on your Web Portal.
If you are using coupon codes, always check to see if they are available on Hot Deals. If they are not on Hot Deals, then the deal could be exclusive to that site, so we cannot guarantee that your order will track.
When you click on a link, there are a few things happening in the background on your computer/browser:
A tracking cookie is installed on the user's PC
The tracking cookie includes the following:
