Work from Home Ideas

After the holidays, my husband and I are a little strapped for cash and my daughter's birthday is coming up- I want to be able to throw here a nice 3year old birthday (because now she understands the concept of birthdays explained to her by her older brother!). I would like to work from home because she is not yet in preschool and not in daycare either. I have access to a computer (obviously) and have about 2-3 hours a day of "free" time. Only problem is that I have to be home and I haven't had a job-job in about 5 years. I am a college graduate and have good computer skills and previously worked in Marketing and Promotions. Does anyone have any good stay at home work that can produce extra money for kid fun and so that I can pay off those pesky credit card bills?

What can I do next?

Hi A., My name is L., I live in Downers Grove and have 5 Children. I have meet a group of awesome Moms that had the same desire I did, We all wanted to make an income without leaving our children.

As I'm sure you know, there are all kinds of work from home idea's out their now, and Ive tried a few, they were either scams, cost a fortune it join or just didn't work for me.

I have found out about a reputable on line wellness store that is much like Costco or Sam's club, they are a consumer wholesale direct store. their products are safer for you and your family, healthier for everyone and the environment and cheaper than any major store, even Walmart or Target. Their products are all guaranteed to work as well if not better than what we are buying now, or your money back, no questions asked.

They are so sure that you will love their store, they are now offering to give you 100.00 in free products just for trying them!

We are working in partnership, using our first hand knowledge of their store and awesome products. Word of mouth referring is their only advertising. So just for telling people about them, I get a check.

Now for my business, I do not have stock, inventory, deliver products, collect money, do billing or collections, all I do is tell people where to shop to save money and keep their family healthy.

This is so easy to learn, and fun to do, and there is no risk! Here are some informative websites you can check out for yourself. www.livetotalwellness.com/lahart and www.2achievethedream.com. This really works! You and nothing to lose! This is truly an awesome opportunity.

There are 2 opportunities with Ameriplan....I work both of them. Plan Specialist & Recruiter for the company. I enjoy helping people with the benefits they need and also train people to work a VERY LEGITIMATE home based business. It is a very rewarding, enjoyable and profitable home based Opportunity !!

The Business consists of marketing these affordable benefit plans as well as recruiting people to work from the comfort of their homes as well. ALL Training is done at home and there is NO Experience necessary.....anyone can succeed in this...our training is phenomenal !!

Ameriplan offers 4 discount benefit plans. We have found that over 70% of Americans are either NOT insured or under-insured. We also have a Diabetic program, Prescription Advocacy program and many more. We have well over 2 Million benefit members to date and growing very fast.....

BUT....this is NOT insurance, so you don't need a license and you DO NOT need to understand anything about the healthcare industry at all. I certainly do not. Many people shy away from Ameriplan because they feel they need to become an expert in either insurance or the healthcare industry....NOT true, you just need to learn our benefits plans....simple.

***********************************************************************************************
What we actually do is set up our home office like a "call center". Our Corporate office is in Dallas, TX. We have over 250 full timers there working for us and their entire job is to support us Brokers at home. There are over 50,000 home business owners with Ameriplan across the US today. This is a very large corporation and we are still growing very fast.

***In a Nutshell.....what we do is market Ameriplan in 2 different ways:

First Opportunity: We market to people who want to save money on their health benefits. They answer our ad campaigns or pick up one of our business cards....however you are marketing, and calling our number or registering on our company web sites. My Benefits web site is wwww.Mybenefitsplus.com/michelemenzel. We call these people back and talk to them for a few minutes. We basically follow a very simple short script and fill out their benefit membership application. We find out what exactly they are looking for...dental, medical etc....Then we electronically submit it to Ameriplan online. Ameriplan takes over from there. They service all the customers you bring in ....we never call this customer back and they never call us back again either.

Second Opportunity: We market the business. I enjoy marketing the business and I spend the majority of my time recruiting new people. People like you and me who want to work from their homes. People answer our ad campaigns and call our numbers or register for more information on our company web sites....mine is www.Freedomathometeam.com/michelemenzel. We then call these people back, spend about 10 or 15 minutes answering questions etc...and if they are interested, we enroll them. Some enroll right away and some over a few days or so. I have many stay at home moms, dads, retirees, college students, professionals, husband & wife teams etc....All looking for just some extra cash, maybe a hobby or like me...Financial Freedom and to retire in 2 to 4 years.....the journey getting there is so exciting and I just love to introduce this business to others so that they too can have all their dreams come true !! This can be a life changing home based career !!

So you see....there are NO products. We just handle some applications from the comfort of our homes and submit to Ameriplan online or they can enroll themselves on our web sites if they want. We NEVER do any telemarketing or cold calling. We just call people who have already requested more information from us....just like you did. We are just the "middle man" setting up people's memberships/brokerships with Ameriplan....and of course we are taught HOW to market the business and benefits to them.

******************************************************************************************************
How We Earn an Income from Home

We get payments in 2 different ways. First...Ameriplan pays us a commission for every application we submit. For a membership application on a new benefit customer we get between $6 and $18 per application, based upon which benefit plan they have chosen.......The lower end commission is for the dental plan and the higher end is full family medical including all the other benefits. This amount is not just a one time earning...we get paid this amount every month on the same family...month after month and year after year. Or, if you choose, you can get advance pay (6 months) for each family which is from $36 to $108....and your residuals will start at the 6th month. Now remember, this is what you get for just typing up their application and submitting to our corporate office in Dallas. They service these customers for you (billing, any questions, sending out provider books and health cards etc...)

For an IBO (Independent Business Owner) application, we receive $15 per IBO (broker) at enrollment "as earned" or $90 "advanced" (6 months) at enrollment. This too is paid month after month and year after year. You received Daily Pay...so anyone you enroll today...your pay goes out to you tomorrow. Your business does build up quickly.....EXAMPLE: If I enrolled 5 IBO's today I would receive either $75 (as earned) or $450 (advance), sent out tomorrow and on the advance, the $15 residual would start at the 6 month.

Residual income is similar to a Royalty. You do the work one time and you get paid over and over again for it. It doesn't matter if you introduced the person into Ameriplan years ago, you continue to earn your money. EXAMPLE: If over a few years you had 1000 dental members at $6 commission every month on each family, you would be making $6,000 a month.....every month on just your dental customers !! There is a 90% retention rate for your members keeping their plans !! So you can plan on keeping your members and collecting your residuals.

This business really does build up ...... imagine if you enrolled 10 new customers a month for the next two years....5 years etc.....the income you would be making would be incredible.

Once you do start enrolling new IBO's (brokers)....they start to build their teams too. As you move up to different levels in your business...you will start to make overrides on the people below you too. So it is not just you working the business....we really are a team of people working together and growing....and in 2 to 4 years or sooner you will be making well over $100,000 in LIFETIME residual income. If you decide to take a few months off....you will still get paid.

Visit: www.iboplus.com/michelemenzel to see how you move up with the company...under compensation, and how the overrides work. You can also enroll yourself on this web site to start your business. Click on "get started today" and fill out the application....I will receive an email of a new broker and get you started right away.

****************************************************************************************************
This business is YOURS. You OWN it. You are the BOSS and CEO. Your paychecks will come from AmeriplanUSA and be addressed to you. You can "will" this business to a spouse of your children if something ever happened to you and then your residual income checks will be addressed to them. Whatever you made monthly, they will get monthly. It's a way you can leave behind a financial legacy and take care of your family. I don't know of any "job" that will continue to pay your family once you are gone !!!!

******************************************************************************************************
Job Qualifications

You must be comfortable talking on the phone and using a computer.

It is required that you attend a 1 hour orientation call after enrollment. It is in the evenings and is offered a couple of different times during the week....or you can listen to the recorded call...24/7. You don't have to go anywhere to attend this meeting.

We're looking for someone who can devote at least 2 - 3 hours a day or more. More would be great, if it's less....that's OK, but we're really looking for 2 - 3 hours a day.

The Benefit Plan

We have over 2 million members on these benefit programs. Some of the companies that we work with are Sears, JC Penny's, WalMart, CVS, Lenscrafters, Pearl Vision, K-Mart, Eckerds and so many more.

For a family who needs dental/vision/prescription/chiropractic benefits, the cost is only $19.95 a month for a household. Discounted up to 80%....very affordable. We also offer full medical which does include our dental plan and other benefits too. This is only $39.95 for household. Just medical is $29.95 for household and Medical/Dental/vision/prescription/chiropractic/legal services/auto club/identity theft is only $59.95 per household and it is a household up to 20 people.

So you can see how if 70% of all Americans need benefits, these programs are very affordable to them.

Group Sales

A very profitable way to market your business is to Companies or Businesses...or Group sales. So many companies do NOT have benefits for their employees. Big Companies, mom & pop shops, temp agencies...all kinds. You would get paid commission per person in that company. Imagine a company with 100 employees or more....that would be a very nice income on your group sales alone!!

****************************************************************************************************

An Overview of the Business: www.workathomedetails.com

****************************************************************************************************
Ameriplan provides you with 5 advertising web sites to market your business. You get a web site to monitor your earnings and enrollments and also your email.

I would be your personal mentor along with the training calls and programs that we have to help you with our business.

Ameriplan will service all of your customers for you so you do not have to. You will have time to continue working on your business instead.

You will receive this within a week of your enrollment and in it will be DVD's, applications, brochures, Your Business at Home Magazines, Labels.....just about everything to get you started including a $50 voucher for our online sales aid store where you can stock up on more marketing tools and supplies.

***************************************************************************************************

TO START YOUR OWN BUSINESS (Enrollment): Basic Program

There is a VERY small cost of $25 (this cost is waiving the first months overhead as well as the $20 application fee, promotion ends 10/31/08 at 5:oopm CST) to start your business which covers your broker kit AND your first months overhead fee of $50 (. ALL Businesses have overhead fees, there wouldn't be a business without them. After enrollment there there is a $50 monthly overhead fee which will be deducted from your commissions. Most people have an income the first month......once covered, it will be covered forever because you get paid residual income that carries over from month to month and you will never see it again. If for some reason you did not have an income the first month....it will be deducted from the CC you used to enroll with. The overhead fee is for the upkeep of all your web sites, Ameriplan taking care of your back office, billing etc....all was listed in this email.

There are NO investments fees !!!! And....your business is 100% tax deductible and an excellent tax shelter for you. You are able to write off at the end of the year portion of your mortgage/rent, heat, electric, phone, internet service, mileage and so much more......

*****************************************************************************************************
We also have a new program called the TOP Program (Trainer Optional Program)....this a totally optional add-on bonus program. Does not have anything to do with the program I just explained....but it is something that you can enroll into if you want to.....This program is incredible....It launches in May but you can enroll into it now if you want. This program changes the 2 to 4 years to making over $100,000 in LIFETIME residual income to 6 to 12 months. We can discuss this when we talk. Click the box below and get some information about Ameriplan and also the new Tops Program.
