The economy sucks yet new MLM’s are popping up everyday and some old ones are getting a much needed resurgence. Just in the last month I’ve seen 3 new ones. Buzzirk mobile, Ijango, and now Yoli. All seem to have a great deal of attraction but the question is do any of them have real staying power? Only time will answer that question but for now let’s talk strictly about Yoli. Yoli is founded by several former Xango reps who broke off ethically and now are focused in on providing what seems to be an affordable healthy alternative to the nasty energy drinks that are out there. Robby Fender, founder, says “we wanted to introduce a product that truly has the WOW factor and not just another me too lotion, potion or pill”.

Yoli’s WOW factor is the impressive patented mechanism called “blast cap technology” which delivers fresh, freeze dried, nutrients directly into water when the consumer is ready for it. Fender says that vitamins and minerals lose their effectiveness up to 80% when suspended in water for more than 30 days. What’s even worse is that 99% of the beverages out there are either pasteurized or some other form of hot fill. Although pasteurization kills any bad bacteria it also kills all the good bacteria, enzymes and beneficial hormones. Yoli is made up with all natural ingredients including, but not limited to, resveratrol, pomegranate, acai, goji, white tea extract and a ph enhancer called Alkaplex. A virtual who’s who of superfruits. Corey Citron, co-founder, talks about many more “blasts” to come including protein blasts, mangosteen blasts and yes, even a baby blast.

Sounds great so far, but can they really cut it in the dog eat dog network marketing arena? To do so they must have a compensation plan that is built for the masses. One that rewards the little guy, but also one that reaps great rewards for the true leaders who bust their hump everyday. Daren Falter, co-founder and author of How To Select a Network Marketing company, has brainstormed an ingenious comp plan that not only has a proven binary system but also incorporates a unilevel system with dynamic compression which will attract the major players as well. Attrition is and always will be the number 1 problem in any MLM type business. How many people do you have to enroll just to break even on your auto-ship? Most companies it’s around 20. Some as high as 100. Yoli is as little as two! They have a unique “break even bonus” plan that goes back into the pocket each month of the enrolling distributor until the enrollers auto-ship is covered. This means basically “free” product. Who’s going to say no to “free” product. Attrition problem is greatly resolved with this plan. Cudo’s to the boys of Yoli for coming up with this ingenious concept.

Yoli is founded by distributors, for distributors and it seems like they really do have an understanding of what is needed in the marketplace. With Corey Citron’s marketing degree from Stanford, Daren Falter’s complete understanding of what makes a good network marketing company, and Robby Fenders infectious personality and business ethics, you have a winning combination. Let’s not forget Rick Eisle’s, the CFO, who has a vast array of qualifications including heading up several multi-million dollar companies. One of which provides printed materials such as business cards and brochures. For many of the reasons mentioned so far, Robby Fender stated to me personally that “MLM needs Yoli Blastcap and Yoli needs MLM”. Mainly what he is referring to is the pricing. Only $3.99 per 20 oz bottle which are reusable plastic. After you have a few bottles you only need to purchase the replacement cap for a mere $2.50. This is what MLM needs, a product that we do not have to feel guilty about when it comes to pricing. After all, when did a $40 bottle of juice become acceptable?

So there you have it, a product with a definite WOW factor. Well established businessmen who understand network marketing at the distributor level running the show. A state of the art marketing system put together by marketing genius Corey Citron. And last but not least, a compensation plan for the masses.

With the economic turmoil that seems to be ongoing today, people losing jobs at an alarming number and those with jobs feeling the pinch of eroding salaries and the escalating cost of just about everything, the effort to save money has never been so important. To this end, proven methods for saving money on things like your energy bill, which can often represent one of the biggest bills you will pay on a month-to-month basis, are growing more and more popular.

One way to save money is with previously owned solar panels. However, if you are not completely sold on the idea of purchasing any one of the many home solar power systems available, then it might be good to understand some of the many advantages of these solar systems first. With home solar power systems the upfront costs are reasonable and in most cases, your system will end up paying for itself in anywhere from 1 to 6 years. In addition, depending on the maintenance of your solar system, you very likely can continue using this solar unit for free for up to 10 to 15 years.

With traditional heating systems for the home, the cost of fuel can be a big contributor to the cost of running the system; however, with residential solar power fuel is plentiful and free. Unless the sun surprisingly goes super nova anytime soon, you will have a steady and cost free source of fuel for many years to come. The other appealing fact is that a good, well-maintained solar power system is that it can increase your home’s equity. This is especially important to those who need to sell their home. With home sales being particularly hard hit in these difficult financial times, any advantage that a home seller can find is welcome.

There are plenty of advantages to home solar power systems, far too many to mention, but having an alternative power system that not only is good for the environment and saves you money is a combination that simply cannot be beat. If you want to save the planet, energy does not get any more renewable than solar power. If you do not buy into the green movement, then you might find the money saving features of solar projects. Whatever your angle is, there is something in it for you.

Tahiti holiday

One of the greatest holiday destinations on the planet is Tahiti in the South Pacific. But it might not have been so except for the rebellion that occurred on the Bounty.

Tahiti is now one of the best destinations in the South Pacific.

Tahiti continues to be chosen for pictures because of its magnificent islands and people.

However these days the spotlight is more on lavishness than mutiny.

A recent production,”Couples Retreat”, has led to travel companies producing a spate of package holidays centred on the lavish resort where the picture was filmed.

Popular Tahiti accommodation includes over-water bungalows and there is a obvious absence of high-rise apartments.

One popular feature are the transparent floors in the over-water bungalows where guests can relax and watch the fish enjoying life.

There is more to a Tahiti holiday than a cheap novel and a dip in the hotel pool.

Package holidays in Tahiti can include 4WD adventures, art lessons, cooking, fishing and dive excursions.

Paul Gauguin, an impressionist painter, spent the last years of his life in Tahiti before dying in 1903.

It’s perhaps his lasting influence which today sees many Tahiti holidaymakers crouching at easels with canvas and pastels trying to capture the beauty of the islands.

His influence is still seen today as many visitors enjoy painting the Tahiti scenery.

Guests staying at Le Meridien Tahiti can enjoy art lessons by local artists. The resort has daily classes.

The same resort has cooking lessons, instructed by the executive chef.

The art and cooking culture is found elsewhere throughout the islands.

Shoppers will love the Papeete markets which feature woven bags, massage oils, fresh fish, vegetables and of course, the famous black pearl.

Pearl farms can be found throughout Tahiti.

Each oyster is gently opened just wide enough to put in place a miniscule nucleus which is made from shell.

A small piece of oyster meat is also placed into the oyster.

Then the magic begins. It takes two years for the oyster to transform the foreign body into the pearl which ranges in colour from black to blue, green, bronze and pink.

As you might expect, there is an incredible price difference depending on the final colour, size and quality.

It takes eight hours to fly to Tahiti from eastern Australia. This is longer than other popular South Pacific destinations like New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji.

It is for this reason that Tahiti can be overlooked by South Pacific holiday promoters.

As the focus is on closer destinations, those looking a Tahiti holiday need to make inquiries to make sure they find everything on offer.
