WiBOO is a web-based service intended to unite social network with e-commerce, focused on micro and small businesses, and distributed as Multilevel Marketing. The platform is the newest acquisition of IGC (Intelligence Group Consulting) based in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil.

By creating a virtual marketplace combined with intuitive social network, WiBOO hopes to attract the attention of the major part of those unattended otherwise businesses. The business owners will be able to purchase very affordable “virtual vitrines” and offer promotions and

MLM, Direct-Selling, and Affiliate Marketing – What’s The Difference?
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In a recent article where Melaleuca was mentioned to deny being MLM, a debate began between individuals on what defines MLM.
MLM simply means Multi-Level Marketing. If you are able to build a team of independent sales people that you earn an income from, this is multi level marketing, even if it’s one line of IBO’s. (Independent Business Owners) What makes MLM different from traditional sales are a few things. The distributors are all on a 1099 and not a W-2. They are independent, making their own hours, working at their own leisures.
A salesperson at a car dealership, for example, is hired by the car dealership and has to report in, still clocking in, still showing up for work and is expected to be there. If a salesperson doesn’t meet the expectations, they are fired. In MLM, there’s usually a low start up cost. In traditional sales, there is no start up cost and there may also be a minimum salary offered plus commissions.
Some of the largest MLM companies are Herbalife, Amway, and Mary Kay.
An IBO can’t be fired. They can be terminated by the company for violation of a contract. Most network marketing (or MLM) companies fall comfortable in

Possible New Utah Legislation May Affect Utah Based MLM Companies
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The assistant attorney general in charge of protecting the Utah Division of Consumer Protection from overly curious consumers says he believes in the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.” Which, of course, he should.
But it might come as a surprise to the many other state and local prosecutors across Utah that Assistant A.G. Chè Arguello defines that principle as justifying a state law that keeps confidential all the consumer complaints the division receives, until and unless that agency actually takes some enforcement action against a company.
Were that the usual standard, there would be no public reporting of the names of, or evidence against, anyone accused of murder or theft until after they had been found guilty in court. Wouldn’t want to unfairly besmirch the name of anyone who hadn’t actually been convicted, now would we?
The State Records Committee last week upheld Arguello’s argument and allowed the Consumer Protection Division to continue to sit on any and all complaints lodged against a Provo-based multi-level marketing outfit called Wake Up Now. Because, apparently, state law on the matter is clear.
Which is why the Utah Legislature should change that law, and make such Consumer Protection Division records open to the public.
The matter was raised by a national nonprofit consumer watchdog called Truth in

Forbes Believes MLM Is One Of The Most Significant Solutions For Retirement
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Robert Laura, a contributor for Forbes.com, has recently written an article for the publication, stating that he believes MLM is one of the most significan solutions for retirement and shares why:
At some point in your life you’ve been pitched a multi-level marketing (MLM), direct selling, or network marketing business opportunity. While the pitch varies from company to company, it basically promises a chance to ditch your 9-5 work schedule, be your own boss, and make lots of money while making new friends in the process.
It all sounds good on paper, yet there is a seemingly endless debate over whether these companies and programs are legitimate business opportunities or not, so I dug in and got the real scoop. As a result, I believe that the entire industry is poised for explosive growth and can be one of the most significant solutions to America’s currentretirement savings crisis.
Initially, that may sound like a bold statement, but it’s not if you understand retirement the way I do. The reality is, making a successful transition into retirement has more to do with psychology than with money… and the same may hold true for multi-level and network marketing.
Don’t get me wrong, money has a role in

Hedi Khezrzadeh – Lessons From ALS Ice Bucket Challenge For Network Marketers

Hedi Khezrzadeh from the Middle east is Medical Doctor, Top Earner and Trainer in Network Marketing, is followed by 8,000+ Facebook fans, and shares the lessons that can be learned from the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge for Network Marketers.
Hedi:
It worked because it’s “Referral” marketing, because you ask people who you have influenced to donate or to dump a bucket of ice water on their head.
Seth Godin says, “The ideas that spread, win”. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is not the leading cause of death in the world, it’s responsible for 2 out of 100,000 deaths every year and as many as 30,000 Americans have the disease at any given time. Malaria has been responsible for an estimated 627,000 deaths in 2012 and 207 million affected cases. Bill Gates has been advocating the awareness for Malaria for many years and has many videos, but the #ICEBUCKETCHALLENGE has been more effective because the way the information is being spread has been remarkable. Now people deal with an average priority illness as urgent because the way we have been spreading the idea has been nothing short of remarkable.
People want to be seen, they want to LEAD, they want to take part in a movement, they want to be different, that is why a lot of people try to
