Thanks a lot

Hey nevermind about the PM, it won't let me send you one so I will just tell you here.
With your Ameriplan business you are helping others SAVE or MAKE money. You can do both or just either or, it's all up to you.
We help people save by enroling them into one of our discount plans and we help them make by starting them on their business. So either way you are helping others.

The hours you work are up to you, you can work p/t or f/t. Usually if you can do at least 10-20hrs a week that works nicely. I work mainly while my daughter naps and when my husband is home in the evenings to help with the girls. i do the majority of my work all online as well which helps when you have young ones.
What we do is market the opportunity to work from home and the different savings plans. You can do this online with forums and boards like this, social sites, classifieds both online and off and through local marketing with fliers, post cards etc....
People see your ads/marketing and respond you give them the info and get them going!!
Income is endless really. You have the option to be paid 2 ways.
1)Residual Income=you are paid every month that the person you enrolled either on the plans or as a fellow business owner is active with the company. So with every enrollment you add to your monthly income!!!
2)Bonus Income=weekly and monthly bonuses for the same work you do for the residual income

p/t you can expect $20,000-$30,000 your first year, $40,000-$50,000 your 2nd and most reach a 6 figure income within 3-5 years. This is working a good 20hrs a week. It is something you have to build and work. When you first start out everyone starts making income at different times. The fasterr you jump in and put the effort into your business usually the quicker your income comes in You won't be making $2,000 your first month. You have to be committed and persistant to succeed at your business.

Hopefully this helps some You can click the links in my signature to see more info. God Bless and let me know how else I can help!!

Default Something to add to Christina's post

Do not be "afraid" of the startup cost and the monthly fee.

Every business has those costs. With Ameriplan your benefits are included in that costs.

I find it amazing that people are willing to spend hundreds a month on benefits at a job but they seem "afraid" to pay the monthly fee that includes benefits and allows them to have their own business.

Even if it takes a month or two to break even, who cares. You are STILL getting something for your investment. This is better than any of the other businesses out there that want you to pay a monthly fee and then they don't give you anything for it.

Even working a job has costs that your employer usually won't reimburse you for like, driving to and from work, work attire, a phone so that they can contact you and tell you to come in on short notice, etc...

As a business owner, even a small business like ours, I'm able to write off a WHOLE lot of expenses because I use them in conjunction with my business. You definitely want to get with a tax professional to ensure you understand the deductions that are available to you as a business owner in the "Pursuit of Profit", but things like going to and from businesses meetings (I had one recently with a clerk at a McDonalds -- of course it was unannounced and she was handing me the food I ordered, but she was interested in learning about our benefits and I shared information with her), I have to have a cellphone as a business line, I have to have a computer to work on, I have to have all kinds of things to work my business, there's training and reading I have to pay for, etc. That's lots of expenses that I can write off. There are somethings you can write off associated with working a job, but not at the percentage you can as a business owner.

BTW, there are some business owners who work their businesses very parttime just FOR the write offs. Again, get with a tax pro about how that works.

Hope this helps!

Cynthia

Default Excellent Article on Home Business Tax Advantages

Here’s a great article by renowned tax reduction expert Sandy Botkin http://www.taxreductioninstitute.com/article.asp?specific=10

Quite an eye-opener when you examine how much you’re actually bringing home working a ‘job’.

P.S. One of the many benefits we receive as business owners with our FreedomPass membership is the AmeriPlan Tax & Money Matters (ATM) Club and includes quarterly live conference calls with Mr. Botkin and quarterly e-newsletters written by Sandy and sent directly to us.

I remember years back when I started my first home biz and my husband was so convinced it was a bad idea and wanted me to just get a real job...
the next year at income tax time we received a much bigger check than normal he was very surprised and happy too!

I, too am debating on the return or not...only thing is I have NO $ coming in right now and I would need to get enough sign ups to cover the monthly cost, and also, I'm on Medicaid right now with my 2 month old son and I believe I'm covered 'til he's a year old, though I'm not sure... I worked my tail off for leads and doing presentations and had some people tell me they wanted to sign up on X day and to call them back then, but when that time came, the phone never rang. So I was also having a terribly hard time. I think it could've been because I wasn't "a right fit" with my enroller. I'm nervous though because there are days when I CAN NOT talk on the phone because my son is so fussy and overtired. So what would I do in that case?

Good morning!!
I have a 1yr old and 1mth old daughter so I completely understand extra fussy days. I only do my phone calls when they are napping and if I can't get them all in then when my hubby gets home from work I make the calls then while he takes the kiddos. Also there are some days where I just have to put my calls off untill the next day because my girls come first

You are right as in you might not have had that "fit" with your enroller before and that to me is very important. It may have been that you just needed to make a few changes to your marketing or presentation to get better results. Sometimes you have to keep tweeking things untill you find your groove. I am on the Freedom at Home Team and I LOVE my upline and I like to be in contact with my downline AT LEAST once a week whether to talk business or just to chat. Also I am really big on our teams conference calls, they are very motivating and I always get newideas from them.
I know it is helping a lot of people to enroll ASAP with the $25 enrollment right now, the sooner you do the more days you will have left to also market and enroll others at that price. This kinds helps kick start your business(if you really jump right in).
Well girlie I hope this helped you. I know I would love to have you on my team and help you out and get you Rockin & Rollin! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
God Bless!!

Default info

The really (one of) great things about this business is that there is no set amount of hours that you HAVE TO work. You build your own schedule and work around yours and your family's lives. For instance, my hubby just got out of the army so we've been away for some time and just moved back home so when he goes to visit family and my little girl is in school is when I work, That being said, I'd be happy to talk with you and answer your questions. I'm on yahoo messenger proud_armywife617 or contact me, my contact info is in my sig.
