Inflammation and the Flu

As the cold and flu season is upon us, it's time to talk about its causes, and how we can protection our selves from having it effect our lives. Although it's something we cannot control, I believe there are measures we can take to decrease the impact the flu may have on our bodies.

I for one have always suggested preventative medicine as being the best medicine, like taking vitamin C at the first signs of the change in weather, if you're not taking it all year 'round. I'm also a huge proponent of a taking a daily multiple vitamin, something I have done ever since I could remember. I'm also a big advocate about the proper amount of sleep. The three items listed above, vitamin C, multiple vitamins, and sleep, I believe, can go a long way in protecting you from not only the flu, but other diseases as well.

Since I'm not a medical doctor or science professor, I'll leave the explanation of the proper way to protect your self from the flu up to TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew.

Important Health News - Protect Yourself from the Flu
by Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer

About this time of year many people ask me what they can do to prevent the flu or minimize its impact. That has never seemed more relevant than today; so, I will address this with the best science we have available today. I say "today's best science" because we simply don't know everything we need to know about preventing and treating the flu. And we need to remember that not all that long ago "current science" said that the earth was flat and diseases were caused by evils spells or dead ancestors.

Many people never get the flu - no matter which strain we are talking about. Do you? When you get the flu, are your symptoms severe? Are there high-risk people living with you? Then your preference for or against preventive measures must take them into consideration. (What if you got it and survived but transmitted it to them and they died? How would you feel?) In any case, 35,000-40,000 people in North America die of the flu each year. It is estimated that this number will double with H1N1.

Flu protection
There are three pathways you need to focus on with flu protection - any variety:

• Transmission
• Infection
• Inflammation

Inflammation
We will begin at the ending: Inflammation from the immune system that incapacitates - even kills - people when they have the flu. MOST IMPORTANT: The flu kills people not by transmission or by infection, but by an inflammatory immune system response called the "cytokine storm."

Our immune system is designed to neutralize and excrete any non-self protein it finds. That includes the influenza virus. The size of the immune response needs to be equivalent to the strength of the invader.

Think of this as a building on fire: small fires are extinguished by local fire fighters. Some fires are so big that fire fighters from other departments have to be called in to help. So, fires are designated as "one-alarm," "two-alarm," "three-alarm," and so on. At a certain point, our immune system pulls all of the alarms and immune system fractions from all over our body rush to put out the fire, so to speak. However, this is a case of fighting fire with fire. Cytokines are inflammatory. They kill viruses and bacteria by creating inflammation.

The cytokine storm is responsible for all of the symptoms we feel: fever, body aches, nausea, diarrhea, etc. It is also responsible for filling the lungs with mucous (pneumonia/pneumonitis) which is often the fatal trigger in influenza, SARS, Hanta virus, bubonic plague, etc.

To survive we must modulate the cytokine storm so that it does its job but doesn't overwork and kill us. We make it work smarter, not harder. So we don't use Vitamin C or Echinacea or anything that "boosts" the immune system. We use immune system modulators so we get exactly the right response. Quercetin (Betalains in Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids), green tea polyphenols (found in Energy Now!) and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus found in Adaptogen 10 Plus) all help balance the body's immune system and decrease the cytokine storm.

Infection
Prior to the cytokine storm is the infection stage of influenza. The virus infects the cell by matching a cell receptor called Hemagglutinin. Hemagglutinin (the "H" in H1N1) allows the virus to gain entry to the cell and mutate the cell DNA so it can breed an infection. It also allows the newly mutated DNA to be incorporated into surrounding cells and through cell lines. Hemagglutinin describes "infection" with the flu. Two powerful natural bulwarks of Hemagglutinin are green tea polyphenols and ginseng (Panax and Eleutherococcus) found in Super Sublingual B-12.

Transmission
Neuraminidase describes "transmission" of the flu where the virus disarms the immune system with an enzyme. This is the "N" in H1N1, H5N1. Neuraminidase inhibitors like Tamiflu limit the ability of the virus to transmit its DNA strands. Two strong natural Neuraminidase protectors are green tea polyphenols and quercetin (Betalains in Nopalea are quercetin bioflavonoids). It is likely that green tea polyphenols and quercetin will help your body do what it does best: resist infection. Think of them as the first line of defense to arm your immune system and help protect against the flu virus from disarming it. *** End of Article ***

To me, preventative medicine makes more sense and if vitamin C, multiple vitamins, or Nopalea can do one-half of what has been scientifically proven, I believe many people will be protected from the flu, not to mention living healthier and more active lives.

The flu can be extremely dangerous to your health. However, I believe, like so many others, that inflammation may even be more dangerous, because it is related, or the leading cause of so many diseases. And if we can continue to fight inflammation by drinking a product like Nopalea, I believe we can all live longer and healthier lives.

Work at Home Freedom

Can a work at home business help you to become financially free? I guess that all depends on how you define "financially free." If you're thinking in terms of having enough money to pay your bills, I would say yes, a work at home business can help you attain that goal. On the other hand, if you're referring to doing what you want to do when you want to do it, I would also say yes, but with reservation.

Many people say they want to be financially free (do what they want when they want to do it), but never achieve that position in their life. Why? I believe that the majority of individuals do not know what it takes to make this goal become a reality, or it may not be a real goal, but rather a pipe dream.

"Freedom has often been stated as having the ability to do what you want, when you want; as long as it is truthful, honest, and does not violate the rights of others." That, according to my friend at the Help End Hunger Foundation, makes a strong point to the fact that freedom is as it means, that you are free to do whatever you would like to do. This is not a new concept nor is it rocket science. However, so many people find themselves in the same rat race year after year, even though they have said they wanted to be free. To me, it just doesn't make sense!

There are plenty of work at home businesses out there that offer the "freedom" yet not that many people reach that financial freedom plateau. Again, referring back to my original statement, either it's not a goal, or maybe they just don't know what it takes to succeed. Working from home takes dedication, hard work and discipline. It's so easy to get off track when working from home. The distractions can be plentiful. The comforts of your home can be a distraction in and of itself. But rather than the distractions, I believe it's the "hard work" aspect of a work at home business that discourages even the most disciplined entrepreneur.

When you're working for yourself you have to wear all the hats. You have to make all the decisions. You have to make the sales calls, and follow up with leads and/or interested clients. If you're selling a product, you may even have to be the delivery person. YIKES! How can one person do all those tasks and still find time for themselves? It may seem impossible, but there are ways to overcome it. One way is to form a team and delegate responsibilities.

Since the majority of home businesses are of the network marketing variety, teamwork should be a priority. After all aren't you part of a team (your network) to begin with? Shouldn't your upline help you with your business? Shouldn't your upline be looking out for your best interest? In a real network marketing business the answer should be a resounding yes. However, sad but true, many networkers are just looking out for number one, themselves. This may be the reason why so many work at home businesses collapse.

To become successful you first have to have a reason for doing the business (your WHY). You then have to take on the mentality of helping others, and putting them ahead of you. You have to find their reason for starting a work at home business and you have to remind them why they are doing this type of work, every step of the way. Helping others reach their goal should be your mission, and part of your every day practice. Remember, there is no "I" in team! If you're not helping others and leading your team by giving them daily responsibilities, you may be on the wrong path.

So, are you on the path to financial freedom? Are you financially free? If you have a home business and are not free or even on the path to financial freedom, you may have to take a step back and re-evaluate why. Are you being truthful, honest, and not violating the rights of others? You, and only you, know the answer to that question. A work at home business can give you the freedom, but the key to that freedom lies within.

Work at Home

 

 

 

TriVita Home Business

Many "Work at Home" entrepreneurs are faced with a seemingly very difficult uphill battle. Why? Because there are so many cut-throat competitors, along with increasing advertising costs, and the average customer/distributor retention rate that has dropped down to an average of less than 3 months.

To successfully generate a full-time income, or even a residual income, from home, through a network marketing business model in the Internet age, can be like trying to fill a bucket that is full of holes. Trying to find the "perfect" networker, the one that understands the business, can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Most distributors (I've heard around 90%) are spending way more money than they'll ever make. OUCH! I believe the reason this happens is because of the outrageous claims many network marketers make about making a six-figure income, in a very short period of time, and without doing any work.

As people join a home based business opportunity, one with those ridiculous promises, they’ll get fed up and quit. The ones that do stick it out for a slightly longer period do so because they realize they have spent their hard earned money and would like to get some sort of return on their investment. However, they typically wind up quitting anyway because they found that no one is building their work at home business for them. And it takes a lot more time and effort than they were initially told.

Building a successful work at home business does take time and it does take hard work. But, it can be very rewarding if you just stick with it. I remember reading this one quote when I first got started in my network marketing business; "Never Give Up!" There is a lot of wisdom in that statement. If I would have given up years ago, I probably would not be writing this article today. And I would probably be saying, "what if." However, today it's a little different, because now I can say, "What if... I would have quit?"

I don't know of any work at home professional that like the high attrition rate in this industry. That's why I have fond a way to combat it, with customers. You see customers are the life-blood of any business, not just one you work from home. Customers, people spending money on products or services, are the people that keep your business going in the long term, not independent reps, or distributors. Yes, I know there is an attrition factor with customers, but it's not has high as it is with work at home wannabe's (distributors).

So, it you're tired of dealing with downline attrition and small commission checks, you need to build a business based on a large customer base, NOT a large distributor base. There is one company that follows that business model, TriVita. Yes, TriVita is the only work at home business you will find on Google that is built on customers, not distributors. Our business building group at Its Good Business knows this first hand. We have several individuals that are working full-time from home. Why? Because they have a strong customer base, people who are buying TriVita products.

More and more work at home business owners are turning away from the traditional "MLM" business model, in favor of an increasingly popular "customer based" TriVita business. If you'd like to learn more about a TriVita home business, give me a call, or visit our "TriVita" web site.

Avoid Work at Home Scams

Real work from home business opportunities are in abundance. However, the Internet has become a breeding ground for get-rich-quick schemes. It seems to me that for every real job, there are hundreds of duds, and many may even be what some people refer to as scams. Don't become a victim of a scam. Do your due-diligence - research the company, and its principals, before joining any work at home business opportunity.

It's not hard to find a real work at home business opportunity, and it's even easier to see the difference between a real work at home business opportunity and a scam. For example, if some one is making outrageous income claims, chances are, it's a scam. If the opportunity they are promoting is based strictly around money, like pay $50 to join and you will get paid a 75% commission once you get three people to join, it's probably a scam. Real businesses sell products, and are typically product based, rather than strictly selling an opportunity. In the real business world you get paid commissions from products and/or services that are sold, NOT on the number of recruits you sign up. There is a good chance that if the company is paying you for recruiting it's probably a pyramid scheme, which is illegal.

Here is it what the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has to say on this subject:

"Multilevel or 'network' marketing plans are a way of selling goods or services through distributors. These plans typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you'll receive commissions—for your sales and those of the people you recruit to become distributors. These recruits sometimes are referred to as your 'downline.'"

"Some multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. However, others are illegal pyramid schemes. In pyramids, commissions are based on the number of distributors recruited. Most of the product sales are made to these distributors - not to consumers in general. The underlying goods and services, which vary from vitamins to car leases, serve only to make the schemes look legitimate."

"Joining a pyramid is risky because the vast majority of participants lose money to pay for the rewards of a lucky few. Most people end up with nothing to show for their money except the expensive products or marketing materials they're pressured to buy."

So, if you're looking for a real work at home business, do your research. The Internet has plenty of sites where you can find out if the company/opportunity is real. BUT, you have to do the research! DO NOT rely of what a person is telling you - do the research yourself.

Working from home can bring you some extra monthly income, or it can help you to become financially free. However, that is strictly up to you. You have to set your goals. You have to decide what you want to get out of your hard work. You have to make the decision. Nobody can make that decision for you. You have to check out the work at home opportunity, because people will try to sell you on their opportunity. And if you're like the majority of people, you probably do not like to be sold. If you find the perfect work from home opportunity for you, and the company is legit, have fun and work to make your dreams and goals become a reality.

Omega Prime by TriVita

I have been researching and writing articles about omega-3 essential fatty acids for some time now. Why? Because I have high cholesterol, and I wanted to find out if I could control it naturally by supplementing my diet with omega-3, and eating more foods high in essential fatty acids.

I was amazed at the information I found regarding omega-3 fatty acids, and their affects, not only on decreasing bad cholesterol and increasing god cholesterol, but also on fighting inflammation and improving heart health. It is no surprise that I have continued taking a daily supplement of omega-3 ever since.

Since we have a lot of fat (good and bad) in our bodies, we need to do something to make the good fat more effective. But, instead of me trying to explain the science behind good and bad fats, I'd rather have the Chief Science Officer of TriVita, Brazos Minshew, do the explaining. Below is his latest article from the TriVita Weekly Wellness Report

Good Fats, Bad Fats and OmegaPrime®

Almost every cell making up your body is surrounded by fat. Fats are very smart molecules. Good fats make your brain healthy, they make your heart healthy; they reduce inflammation and improve circulation. They improve your immune system and reduce pain.

Trans-fats are examples of "bad" fats. They have just the opposite effect of good fats: they make your brain, heart and immune system unhealthy. They increase pain and they are a toxic cause of inflammation.

Good fats are essential for life and good health.

The story of good fats
Our immune system relies on Vitamin D and fats. When we are exposed to infections, a "picture" of the invading microbe is encoded in immune cells and recorded in fat for long-term memory. This is the reason why we have lifelong resistance or immunity to certain infections once we have the illness (like chicken pox).

There is a family of conditions where the immune system works too hard. These disorders are called autoimmune conditions because a person's own immune system loses the ability to distinguish "self" from "non-self." In autoimmune conditions your own immune system attacks healthy tissue as if it were diseased! Every gland, organ and joint becomes a target of your immune system.

Essential fatty acids make your immune system work smarter, not harder. They code immune system proteins to precisely identify every cell and to determine an appropriate response.

OmegaPrime
TriVita OmegaPrime contains essential fatty acids (EFA) from four sources:

• Omega-3: Fish oil
  A key ingredient in OmegaPrime is fish oil. Omega-3 from fish oil is healthy for your body and it shows a special affinity for your heart and brain. Fish oil contains fully metabolized Omega-3 and is thus absorbed very quickly.
• Omega-3: Flaxseed oil
  Flaxseed oil is a vegetarian source of Omega-3. It is not fully broken down as fish oil is. Instead, it must be slowly metabolized over several hours. Think of fish oil as "fast-acting" and flaxseed oil as "sustained release."
• Omega-3 & Omega-6: Perilla Seed oil
  Humans cannot synthesize essential fatty acids: Omega-3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega-6 LA (linoleic acid). We must get them from our diet and that is why they are called "essential." Perilla seeds contain a balance of Omega-3 ALA and Omega-6 LA.
  
  There are nearly 500 articles in the Institutes of Health database on perilla. Scientists from all over the world are studying the oil of this amazing anti-inflammatory seed. Over 80 of these papers detail its use with the specific genes associated with various cancers. Over 50 articles discuss the anti-inflammatory benefits of perilla seed oil concerning allergy, asthma and other immune and cardiovascular disorders.
• Omega-6: Evening Primrose oil
  Evening Primrose oil (EPO) is a primary source of LA (linoleic acid) in OmegaPrime. LA goes through a long process of metabolism that results in intense anti-inflammatory activity. For example, LA helps reduce the inflammation associated with dermatitis. EPO promotes breast health and helps reduce breast pain. It also promotes cardiovascular health.  Evening Primrose oil is an excellent source of LA, and OmegaPrime is an excellent source of EPO.

Conclusion
Essential Fatty acids are ESSENTIAL to Wellness! We cannot make them; we must get them from our diet. The healthier our fat intake is, the healthier our body will become. People in North America are woefully deficient in healthy Omega EFAs. Eat healthy fats and reject unhealthy fats like trans-fats for a healthy heart, brain and immune system.

Since EFAs are necessary to keep our bodies healthy, we need to incorporate them into our diets. However, eating fish may be your best bet. The purest choice fish includes canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna.

If you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

TriVita's OmegaPrime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Our immune system relies on Vitamin D and fats. When we are exposed to infections, a "picture" of the invading microbe is encoded in immune cells and recorded in fat for long-term memory. This is the reason why we have lifelong resistance or immunity to certain infections once we have the illness (like chicken pox).

There is a family of conditions where the immune system works too hard. These disorders are called autoimmune conditions because a person's own immune system loses the ability to distinguish "self" from "non-self." In autoimmune conditions your own immune system attacks healthy tissue as if it were diseased! Every gland, organ and joint becomes a target of your immune system.

Essential fatty acids make your immune system work smarter, not harder. They code immune system proteins to precisely identify every cell and to determine an appropriate response.

OmegaPrime
TriVita OmegaPrime contains essential fatty acids (EFA) from four sources:

• Omega-3: Fish oil
  A key ingredient in OmegaPrime is fish oil. Omega-3 from fish oil is healthy for your body and it shows a special affinity for your heart and brain. Fish oil contains fully metabolized Omega-3 and is thus absorbed very quickly.
• Omega-3: Flaxseed oil
  Flaxseed oil is a vegetarian source of Omega-3. It is not fully broken down as fish oil is. Instead, it must be slowly metabolized over several hours. Think of fish oil as "fast-acting" and flaxseed oil as "sustained release."
• Omega-3 & Omega-6: Perilla Seed oil
  Humans cannot synthesize essential fatty acids: Omega-3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega-6 LA (linoleic acid). We must get them from our diet and that is why they are called "essential." Perilla seeds contain a balance of Omega-3 ALA and Omega-6 LA.
  
  There are nearly 500 articles in the Institutes of Health database on perilla. Scientists from all over the world are studying the oil of this amazing anti-inflammatory seed. Over 80 of these papers detail its use with the specific genes associated with various cancers. Over 50 articles discuss the anti-inflammatory benefits of perilla seed oil concerning allergy, asthma and other immune and cardiovascular disorders.
• Omega-6: Evening Primrose oil
  Evening Primrose oil (EPO) is a primary source of LA (linoleic acid) in OmegaPrime. LA goes through a long process of metabolism that results in intense anti-inflammatory activity. For example, LA helps reduce the inflammation associated with dermatitis. EPO promotes breast health and helps reduce breast pain. It also promotes cardiovascular health.  Evening Primrose oil is an excellent source of LA, and OmegaPrime is an excellent source of EPO.

Conclusion
Essential Fatty acids are ESSENTIAL to Wellness! We cannot make them; we must get them from our diet. The healthier our fat intake is, the healthier our body will become. People in North America are woefully deficient in healthy Omega EFAs. Eat healthy fats and reject unhealthy fats like trans-fats for a healthy heart, brain and immune system.

Since EFAs are necessary to keep our bodies healthy, we need to incorporate them into our diets. However, eating fish may be your best bet. The purest choice fish includes canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna.

If you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

TriVita's OmegaPrime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Work at Home

When I got the idea that I'd like to work from home, I started searching for an easy way to start a home based business. Yes, I wanted to work at home and do something that I lived. My search continued for several years, after falling for some really bad deals that cost lots of money, before I found what I was looking for. Not only did I find the business that was right for me, I also learned a lot about what it takes to survive, and prosper, working from home. I also found some things that I did not like, more on that later.

Before I continue, I should tell you, there is no work at home business that is easy. However, there are people that make outrageous promises like, "all you have to do is sign up and we'll do all the work for you." Well let me tell you, ALL businesses, home or other wise, take time and hard work to become successful. I wish I would have known this years ago, I may have been retired by now.

Work at Home Education

Is it just me or are there a lot of people walking around in a "Constant State of Confusion?" It seems that they (you) spend their (our) entire lives just reacting to everything around them. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's the people (maybe even you) that never seem to move in a forward direction in their lives. Even when they (you) seem to take a step forward, they end up taking 2 steps backwards. This is especially true when it comes to people who would like to have a work at home business. And, with some people, this becomes so obvious, it even becomes predictable.

So, why are so many people in this constant state of confusion and non-forward movement when it comes to a work at home business? I believe it has a two-fold answer. First, people have been told that they can make lots of money from home just by working an hour or two a day. Although that may be true in some very rare cases, it's not the norm. Secondly, people have not been "educated" properly on what it actually takes to build a successful home based business. This, by far, is the main reason people wind up in a state of confusion, and walking away from the dream of owning a home business.

As I was writing this article, I received an email with the subject, "Legitimate Work at Home Job." Yes, believe it or not, there are a lot of legitimate jobs that you can work from home. Aside from that, what makes this email so confusing is the subtitle, "I want a job where I don't have to work a ton of hours to make a ton of cash," don't we all? I believe a statement like that is enough to cause someone to get all excited that they fill out the form and then join that opportunity.

After all, aren't most of us wired that way? Typically, we all want self-gratification and want to get paid what we feel we are worth.

However, after spending hours upon hours learning a new system (with our new business opportunity), we become confused and stop moving forward. We give up! We weren't looking to work more hours then our current job, but rather, work less and get paid more. It's easy to see why it can become confusing, and why someone would give up and stop moving forward?

This is the problem with many of the work from home business opportunities that you find online. They promise you lots of money with little or no work, but in all actuality, you wind up working more hours and getting paid less per hour than your current job. But, that's NOT what they promised, right? Exactly! That's were the confusion comes in, and why people get frustrated and that's were being properly educated, on what it takes to work at home, comes into play.

Education has been programmed into our heads ever since our first day of school. Our parents told us to pay attention in school, and to get good grades. As we got older we were told to get a great education so we could get a great job, but as we got older and got out of school, a lot of us wound up working in a field that we dislike. So we start looking elsewhere for that self-gratification that is supposed to come from our work.

With that said, if you're looking to work from home, it's important to get educated, to learn the ropes from someone that has been there, or is currently in that situation. Learn what it takes to become successful. Learn from someone that speaks the truth, not someone that will tell you what you want to hear. If someone claims to be an expert, ask them for their credentials, or do a search on Google, Yahoo! or Bing. If you can't find any information about them, they are probably NOT who they say they are. In that case, you should move on!

A work at home business is no different than a real job. You need to be educated. You need to know what the position requires. You need to get into classes or training, or read books or search the Internet. Learn what it takes to work at home before quitting your job. If you expect to get paid what your worth, get educated. Don't let days, months, years, and even decades go by with a lot more of the same "wandering generality" mentality. If you're in a state of confusion, about what it takes to work at home, learn so you can make an educated decision.

Best Work at Home Businesses

What are the best work at home businesses? Is any work at home business better than another? What makes a work at home business great?

These are just a few questions that come to mind of people when looking for a home based business. However, the fact remains that many people are in dire straits and need money immediately. If that's you, then the best thing to do is go get a real paying job, because most home based businesses are NOT quick fixes for money problems.

What I have found throughout the years of marketing on the Internet is that the majority of "get rich quick" work at home business opportunities are nothing but scams. If you're looking to make money fast, chances are that the opportunity you are considering is a scam. Why? Because the majority of individuals offering this type of opportunity knows your situation, you're desperate, and they pray on your emotions to make themselves rich. It's all about them and has nothing to do with your well being.

It's a known fact that desperate people take desperate measures in desperate times. And many people jump at those ridiculous "get rich quick" schemes. I guess a beautifully painted picture (even if it's only in your mind), of a rosy future, goes a long way to entice someone to join there business opportunity, even if it is a scam. An artist can can make a scam look like a beautiful business opportunity, but in the end, no matter how gorgeous it looks, it's still a scam.

So, what does make a work at home business great, or better yet, what does a great work at home business look like?

First off, a great work at home business has to have viable products and/or services; it cannot be based on money alone.

Money only businesses, like getting paid money when someone signs up under you and pays their money, are scams. However, if you get paid from a product or service sale, from a person you introduced, that is called a commission. Getting paid commissions on products or services that you are directly or indirectly involved with is legitimate.

Now if the person that bought that product, loved it so much that they wanted to sell the product on their own (by becoming a rep - personally sponsored by you) you would get paid a commission on the product, or service, sold by that rep. That "indirect" product or service sale is not just limited to the person you sponsored, but would also include a person(s) that your personally sponsored rep sponsored. And depending on the company's compensation plan, you could possibly get paid 6 or 7 levels down.

The scenario listed above is what most MLM (multi-level marketing) or network marketing businesses are all about. And, the majority of work at home businesses are network marketing businesses. Why? Because, it's the best way to earn a substantial amount of money. However, let me caution you about the money. If you do it strictly for the "money" and forget about helping others, you may find yourself with a lot of people in your organization, but without anyone doing a thing.
