Direct-Selling Featured In The Guardian

by Tina Williams • September 29, 2014 • 0 Comments

For women in post-war 1950s Britain, invitations to parties at their friends’ houses started to come thick and fast. Tea and cakes were dished out – and so were plastic boxes. The aim of the hostess was to sell an innovative brand that had come over from the US and still survives today – Tupperware.
Fast forward 60 years and ladies (and to a lesser extent, gentlemen) are still being invited to parties with a hidden agenda – but now they can find themselves coming home with anything from a £16 mango wedger (courtesy of Pampered Chef) to a £145 statement necklace (Stella & Dot).
Parties where your host tries to flog you anything from wine to knickers now account for 35% of direct selling – the name given to the practice where someone sells you something outside of a shop environment.
This slice of the market has more than doubled from 14% five years ago, according to new figures from the Direct Selling Association (DSA). “Direct selling parties are social occasions where you can buy in a leisurely manner from a friend rather than a shop you have no connection to,” says Lynda Mills, director of the DSA.

Gale Hughes Earns 9th Mary Kay Car

by Tina Williams • September 28, 2014 • 0 Comments

Imagine never having to pay for a car in 20 years. That’s what one Crozet woman can claim after she picked up her ninth free car Thursday evening.
Gale Hughes is a Mary Kay sales director who says her last car payment was in 1996, when she started selling Mary Kay products. She earned her first free car within two years.
She earns the cars by meeting her sales quota every six months. Thursday, she picked up her ninth car, a black Chevy equinox with the Mary Kay emblem.

“Don’t give up. It’s that idea that I know that this is going to get me through because I know that I’ve worked in other companies for the school system and I know my absolute worst day in another company, for Mary Kay this is just so awesome,” Hughes said.

Hughes is the director of an entire team of sales consultants in the area. All of their teamwork goes toward earning the free cars.

Fueled By Isagenix, Swimmer Conquers Big Swim

by Tina Williams • September 27, 2014 • 0 Comments

On Sunday, August 17, 14-year-old Cali broke a 50-year-old world record. She became the youngest person since 1964 to complete The Big Swim.
This year, 50 swimmers attempted to cross the Northumberland Straight, an open body of water that forms the southern part of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and stretches from the shores of New Brunswick to the shores of Prince Edward Island—also known as The Big Swim with its 8.6 to 10.5 mile distance depending on the current. It’s an annual tradition for seasoned swimmers to fundraise money for Brigadoon Camp.
Cali’s goal was to raise $10,000 for Brigadoon—a camp that gives children with disabilities or chronic illnesses a chance to make connections with other children. It takes $1,000 to send one child to camp.
Fueled with Isagenix through a year’s worth of practice, Cali had one very important person in mind during her six-hour swim.
“I wanted to complete this swim for my cousin, Kevin, who died of brain cancer when he was 15,” explains Cali. “He never had the opportunity to go to camp, even though he wanted to. I want to give children these opportunities to be around others so they all know they’re supported.”

Another Wall Street Principal Shows Support For Herbalife

by Tina Williams • September 25, 2014 • 0 Comments

Kyle Bass, founder and principal of Hayman Capital Management, says he believes Herbalife is not a ponzi scheme and is a legitimate business model on an interview with CNBC. He even goes as far as saying they’ve had one of their own traders sign up with Herbalife to gain an understanding of the model to make sure it’s legitimate.
Bass became well-known after successfully predicting and benefitting from the subprime mortgage crisis by purchasing credit default swaps on subprime securities issued by various investment banks (similar to shorting the bonds).
Bass has since continued to attract media attention for his prediction of the European sovereign-debt crisis and his expectations regarding the economic future of Japan and Argentina.
Bass reminded CNBC viewers that Ackman originally went long on Pre-Paid Legal stocks (now a privately held company called Legal Shield) and shared his views on it not beign a pyramid scheme, nearly an identical explanation to why he thinks Herbalife is a pyramid scheme and is shorting that stock instead.
How long Ackman will continue to battle the Herbalife stock remains to be seen as he placed a hefty $1 Billion dollar short on the company about a year ago. The Herbalife/Ackman battle has become one of the most talked about

SEC Action Against Zhunrize May Effect Dubli

by Ted Nuyten • September 25, 2014 • 0 Comments

Recently the SEC alleges Zhunrize to drive a Pyramid Scheme and the SEC’s argument is “substantially all of Zhunrize revenue has comes from the sale of memberships (referred to as stores)”.
Dubli is a larger MLM with a simular e-commerce program and cashback shopping mall and has been expanding to the USA.
Dubli’s strategy is very open as it is a public company and has warned in its own report:
“Continuing analysis of the customer subscriptions, the inherent danger Dubli faces is that, in bundling so many subscription vouchers with paid affiliate memberships, there won’t be a significant amount of customers purchasing subscriptions”.
And:
We are subject to the risk that, in one or more markets, our network marketing program could be found not to be in compliance with applicable law or regulations.
Regulations applicable to network marketing organizations generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” or “chain sales” schemes, by ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within an organization is based on sales of the organization’s products rather than investments in the organization or other non-retail sales-related criteria.
Affiliate membership to Dubli is available at three price-points:
