Usually I ignore Multi Level Marketing programs because they end up being part scheme, part business opportunity. Having said this, I was recently told about The Trump Network located at TrumpNetwork.com. What immediately made me take note of this program was the fact that Donald Trump is actually involved in it. Because of this and the fact that I have had numerous inquiries about the MLM I decided to put together a Informative post with everything you need to know about The Trump Network in one spot:

What Exactly is The Trump Network?
Although we still don’t have the entire details of this multi-level marketing program, we do know quite a bit. The program will go into pre-launch mode sometime in June of 2009. It will remain in pre-launch mode for at least 4-5 months and finally launch in October of 2009. It is fully backed by Donald J. Trump himself, the real estate mogul, reality TV star, and billionaire himself. This venture will incorporate the company that Donald Trump partnered with in March of this year called Ideal Health. They have agreed to rename Ideal Health “The Trump Network”, and move forward with a multi level marketing setup by Fall. Ideal health is a unique vitamin shop which customizes vitamins for each of it’s clients. It does this by giving each client a metabolic test to determine which vitamins and minerals are lacking in their body. I’ve personally read a lot about this company and the product/service they offer, and walked away pretty impressed. Here is a quote from the Ideal Health website overviewing what the company is all about:

Ideal Health is the only company in America that puts the power to regain nutritional balance and restore metabolic health back in your hands. We are the only company where a team of PhDs and other health experts looks at specific metabolic markers in urine, saliva, or blood spot sample, and then utilizes a database of over 100,000 patients and over 30,000 scientific nutrition studies from top research institutions to develop unique customized formulas for baseline nutrition and other health concerns.

Nothing stands still. Everything in the physical world is in a state of constant change. In terms of your health, this means that at every moment in time, your body is either moving toward health, or away from it. If your body is experiencing a metabolic problem caused by nutrition, the longer you wait to address it, the more serious it can become.

Ideal Health can put your mind at rest. Our uniquely affordable metabolic tests can point out where problems may exist, and our targeted nutritional supplements can help turn your body back toward health and keep it there. Remember: every day you wait may be compounding a problem you could be solving.

Here is also some basic information on the Company itself:

Significance of a Trump Endorsement
Clearly a man like Donald Trump does not associate his name with things he does not feel strongly about. The very fact that he is all over this MLM’s marketing campaign at such an early stage shows me that he is extremely confident in it’s success, as well as it’s product. This also will give a tremendous amount of credibility to the Multi Level Marketing Industry in general, which has been clearly hurt by the various schemes and scams that have scared away so many people. If Trumps Network is a success, it will be huge. On the other hand, if it flops, Donalds reputation could take quite a severe hit.

My Opinion on Trump Network
It’s hard to give a fair opinion on the TrumpNetwork, since it is not even in it’s prelaunch mode yet. Having said this I do think this will become a major player in the MLM world. Donald Trump is a household name, when you hear “Trump” you immediately think of “money”. In fact “trump” has actually become a verb in the English language. With his marketing power, his know how, and a product that I believe is unique and innovative, this MLM just may become a household name in itself. As more information is made available, I will add to this fact sheet, and make sure you all stay up to date about the Trump MLM, as it is being called.

I am subscribed to all the latest trend websites, and have people email me with the latest and greatest new websites to hit the internet world. Well, Today my inbox was buzzing about this new Program called AffordableAffiliates. The site can be accessed at:AffordableAffiliates.com

First I will explain how this new Investment program/affiliate program hybrid works, then go over some of the pros and cons of such a program like AffordableAffiliates.. Simply you invest with them an amount between $100, and $500, currently via paypal. They then use this money to purchase antiques, collectibles and other products which they resell on ebay for much much more. This is then how the profits of this resale are split:

How AffordableAffiliates Pays You:
We buy an Item for $10.00 and sell it for $100.00 .
Your initial $10.00 + 10% of the $90 profit is returned to your account for re-investment ($19).
10% or the profit is added to your monthly payout ($9).
5% of the profit is sent to your designated charity ($4.50).
5% of the profit goes to the person who referred you to AffordableAffiliates Network ($4.50).

The Graphic Below is for those who understand better via pictures:

The program is run by several well known internet marketers. Here is a list of a few of them:

AffordableAffiliates Staff:
Chris Bell – President / CEO
Samantha Migneault – Vice President / CFO
Cody Halovich – VP Technical Operations
David Cheyne – Director of Marketing
Ted Walther – System Architect
Rob Lind – Director of Aboriginal Affiliates
Laura Corby – Director of Autism Affiliates

Some Problem I can foresee in the Future:
- Paypal - We all know paypal is very strict in what they do and do not allow. Since this is an unregistered Investment program, it is possible, if not likely that Paypal will suspend their account. Thus Affordable Affiliates will have to look into accepting alternate means of payment such as possibly Liberty Reserve and Alertpay.

- What works on a small scale may not work on a large scale – Just because they may be able to make massive profits buy and selling products with several thousand dollars, does not mean this strategy can be expanded indefinitely. Will they be able to succeed in using the same strategy to make 10 or 100 times the profit as they were before? Only the AffordableAffiliates team knows this for sure.

- Legalities – Since this is not a registered investment, there may be future legal issues unless they are licensed offshore. I could not find anything on the website saying just where the company is registered.

Conclusion about AffordableAffiliates:
As with any internet investment program, I urge extreme caution. If you have $100 – $500 to investment, that you can afford to do without, then consider this program. If on the other hand you do not have money to just throw away, reconsider investing into an internet program that is not governed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Look at it as a gamble in Vegas. There is also the possibility that AffordableAffiliates is just one big ponzi scam. You never know with this internet stuff.

Today, even though the Superbowl was big news, the top question we got in our Profilesblog inbox was… “What is ChatToText.” Being that I am a internet blogger, who is constantly sifting through data on the latest news, I have recently heard of ChatToText, and did a rather long read up on them.

ChatToText, located at ChatToText.com is a Facebook application that allows users to quickly and easily send you a phone text message via your Facebook profile. There has not been any other application like it to date. In fact the application which just launched a few days ago, already has close to 5,000 users. Unlike most Facebook apps though, this one charges a fee, and has probably spread as rapidly as it has due to the fact that they offer an incentive for getting others to pay the $6 signup fee.

This is how the affiliate program for ChatToText works:
Pay $6 to purchase the application. Then refer a friend or multiple friends. Each direct referral you send to ChatToText who also pays the $6 to purchase the application, you will get $2 commission. Now, each person that those friends refer will get you another Twenty five cents. Each person they refer will get you another twenty five cents as well, and this keeps going down 8 levels deep. The potential is there to earn quite a bit of affiliate commission if you refer just a few friends.

ChatToText is setup like an MLM (Multi Level Marketing Opportunity). Thus there may be a lot of unwarranted praises of the Facebook app. Having said this, we did check out the reviews, and currently there are quite a few members having problems with the application itself. We are waiting to see how ChatToText Representatives respond to these complaints.

There are a few public forums discussing ChattoText.com that we think you should all read before making your decision to buy this facebook application or not:

Had a few people email us this morning to profile the site Me2Everyone. Me2everyone.com officially launch its pre-beta version this morning, and at the time of this post has already had over 25000 signups. The site which has not officially launch besides for the referral share program looks liek it could be quite promising if executed in an orderly and professional manner.

So, what exactly is Me2Everyone?
Me2everyone will be a social networking site intertwined in a game like atmosphere, sort of a mix between the Myspace.com and Facebook realms and that of Secondlife. The rapid growth of the site will be attributed to the share program they are offering. Currently the first 100,000 members to register at Me2everyone.com will receive 1000 shares of the company. Each referral they get will give them an additional 3000 shares. The company claims that they will be trying to go public sometime in 2012, and has a goal of 0.58 pounds per share at the public launch. Thats about $1740 pounds per referral if all go as planned. Of course anything can happen in 3 years, and startups like Me2everyone are not always easy to attract attention or turn a profit. After saying this, thus far I am rather pleased with the way things look.

We quickly searched for forums related to the site and came up with 2 at some of my favorite money making forums. Here they are:
- MMG Me2Everyone Forum
- Talkgold’s Me 2 Everyone Forum

We have been promised a few things that seem to make Me2Everyone an exciting venture for us all:
1. Membership owned
2. Very engaging User Experience
3. Engaging in site business proposals
4. There is the social networking side, business promotion, dating, gaming, shopping and virtually anything that a member can dream of…
5. Presents real world value to everyone.
6. Fun and exciting, as well as addicting set up once it launches

Good luck and I will continue researching the site and adding to this blog post should I find out any more details.

January 16th 2009 Update – Me2everone Server is down for maintenance.

Please be patient as the server is currently down while Me2Everyone.com updates their server hardware. Should be back up within hours.
