If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Take care, Laura
I’ve done it! Wow what a trip to start over in my home state of Florida, nearer to my family and commence on the second half of my life. I could not be happier….can’t wipe the smile off my face!
This also means I am back in action and will be writing and promoting my businesses that have allowed me to work from home full time. Now I know this sounds like those websites where they show you a guy on a lawnchair on the beach with his laptop, but guess what….that is me now. I am totally not kidding. Ok, I’m not in a lawnchair on the beach but I did take a long walk/run on the beach this morning…..only about 10 minutes from my new apartment in the gorgeous city of St. Augustine. Oh….and I went to the gym after that too.
I’m mostly going to write about passive income programs that don’t require much, if any recruiting. The fact is the typical MLM is difficult for most people to make any money. Sure you can make some money and be in profit actually, but its difficult to make a full time income unless you have a real list in the tens of thousands or more. Even with that it can still be difficult and frankly you are working more than full time often, albeit from home.
It also helps to have some good connections to bounce ideas off and just hear about other opportunities from someone you can trust. I have a few good and honest people to call or write and find out the truth about something good. I’ll let you know when I know as well.
In my next installment and after doing some more research, I will talk a bit about ReGenesis2×2 and OPL. Please feel free to email about GNI and my other favorite private program. Those two have allowed me to work from home….and isn’t that what we would like to do? You can write me at anndcny@gmail.com
Until the next time…..

Filed Under internet home business, home based business, Home Business | Posted on January 4, 2009
Just try to research home based business opportunities, making money online, internet home business or any configuration of those terms and you will find endless pages of information and often hype about thousands of home based business opportunities. I have been in a few and want to review Liberty Health Net because of its sustainability and track record.
Liberty Health Net was incorporated in February of 2001 and started shipping products in June of that year. Jim Price is the owner and Shelley Feree, a former nurse is the company President. The founder was looking for a more realistic and “doable” way for people to make an honest income from home with a respectable online company. Apparently the search was not going in the direction they wanted and instead chose to start a company of their own which became Liberty Health Net.
Liberty Health Net is often termed “the people’s company” because of the attention given to its affiliates and customers. Jim Price was looking to start something that would be affordable for most everyone and would eventually get people to the point where they could make an income that would either supplement their current income or replace it.
The payplan was key to bringing people into LHN. The founders wanted a payplan that is not based on group volume but rather on percentages from a 4×5 forced matrix. Essentially that means that a partner can make commissions from someone they did not personally sponsor.
Jim Price came up with a payplan that would sustain the newbie to marketing as well as the expert marketer. Here is a brief summary of the payplan. With LHN, distributors are paid a 60% commission on their personal referral’s first order. That can be anywhere from $18 to $60. After that, commissions are paid to the upline depending on where the person is in their matrix.
The commissions are paid through 5 levels. Level 1 pays 5%, Level 2 pays 10%, Level 3 pays 10%, Level 4 pays 40% and Level 5 pays 10%. A full matrix is attainable but I wouldn’t speak in those terms until one is committed to the program and ready to work it for the long term. As an internet marketer, it is best to set some smaller more attainable goals and when those are realized you shoot for the stars.
Setting aside the payment plan, LHN does provide a variety of websites and a very sophisticated backoffice that includes training and a myriad of free and paid resources to market your business. There is a question and answer forum as well for all members to bounce off ideas, ask questions and learn from each other.
The essence and ideas behind Liberty Health Net are very solid and well planned. It has been around for nearly 8 years and in the internet marketplace, that can be considered to be a well established company.

home based business Home Business internet home business Liberty Health NetThe Time Is Right To Find The Best Internet Home Business
Filed Under home based business, online home based business, Home Business | Posted on August 25, 2008
Finding and starting an internet home business is the most intelligent way to secure your financial future. Why now…is this really the best time? It sure is because more people are looking for ways to work from home now than ever and an internet home business is a great place to start. When you do find the best internet home business for you, the earnings will increase over time as you build your business. Most retirement pensions are not the salary one makes while working. They decrease. With an internet home business the earnings have the potential to grow year after year. It’s a very real possibility and often happens with the right business.
Get started by researching. Start with business forums and using the search engine of your choice to read all there is to read. Take your time and make notes on the programs that pique your interest. If you are researching this for the first time, write down all the pros and cons of programs you have researched and make a list of what is becoming most important to you. Is money up front the most important thing? How about the product? Are you worried about learning the business? These are all very important things to consider and may determine the direction you will take.
But why should you get started now? Because now is the time to start the journey. Yes, there are still scams out there but there are more and more real businesses that can help to ensure and secure your financial future. The good ones will take time to build. It does not matter if you are 25, 45 or 65. What does matter is that you start now. It’s imperative to give your business time to grow and give yourself time to learn how to operate and promote your business.
The more secure financial opportunities like real estate, mutual funds, stocks and bonds are not as secure as they once were. This is probably (hopefully) temporary but in light of the current situation, it’s important to find a way to invest correctly. Many people have lost money in the past year that was invested in real estate and mutual funds. It’s key to find other ways to invest and earn.
Starting an internet home business is not so far fetched anymore. More and more people are learning about the value of doing this and don’t really have to take much out of pocket to do it. If you can find the best internet home business for you, it is well worth the trial and expense and can definitely help you to secure your financial future. People are doing it now all the time and finding success in the mean time.
Shouldn’t you jump on the band wagon too?
best internet home business home based business Home Business internet home business online home based businessWhy Would You Want To Start An Internet Home Business?
Filed Under home based business, Home Business | Posted on August 13, 2008
Because its quite possible to find a new career that you love. There is nothing like the satisfaction you gain from finding success with an internet home business and it’s quite possible and even affordable to do. That is if you do it correctly.
So let’s talk about where to begin. There are so many opportunities available and you can be sure they are not all created equally. Among the internet home business opportunities available, many are just to difficult to make work and are not really designed for someone who is new to internet marketing.
What kind of home business should you look for? You want to find a company that has a good reputation and has preferably been in business for some time so that they have a track record. If an internet home business looks appealing then you have to research a little deeper before you make any serious decisions. It’s your money. Do a Google search to see what people are writing about it. Inevitably, there will be a blog or two or one thouand written by people for or possibly against the company. The key is to read and research all you can.
Now that you may have found the best internet home business for you, its time to try to talk/email someone who is in the program to start picking their brains. I strongly encourage using this tactic to get to know more about the people involved and what and how they are doing with this business. It is pretty easy to do too. When you are researching blogs about this business, there will be either a website, place for comments, an email address or some other form of information given by the author so that someone can contact them. Go ahead and make contact first. Then plan your questions when they reply, that is if they do.
Now what should you ask and why? Well, you want to know everything about the program and the person who will potentially be your sponsor. Write down a detailed list of questions about the product, the company, the owners, the person who may be your sponsor, money, payments, how you earn, when do you see profits, etc. If they are good and an honest person then they will definitely answer you.
Don’t forget to ask about training. This is especially important for newcomers. Make sure at least your sponsor is helping you begin your journey. A good training and a good sponsor are truly necessary to helping you move along and do the right things in the beginning.
Take these steps to heart. Finding the best internet home business for you is within your reach. Only if you do it the right way, that is.
Until the next time,
Laura

home based business Home BusinessAnswers To Questions About Ambit Energy
Filed Under ambit energy, home based business, Home Business | Posted on April 27, 2008
I have been getting lots of questions about Ambit Energy, whether through phone calls or emails. Also, I can check from the admin side of blog the kind of search strings people are using to wind up here.
One of the basic questions is can you be an Ambit Energy consultant when you don’t live in a state that is live?? The answer is yes. One of my consultants who lives in New Orleans just got a bonus (and so did I because he did) for getting a few more customers. He got them on his own and I added another for him as well.
Another basic question is “Is Ambit Energy coming to my state”? The answer is it depends on when its coming, not necessarily if its coming. Ambit will be opening up quite a few more states on the East coast by the end of the summer or early fall. Illinois just opened up.
The key here is getting in early. Why you may ask? Well get this. I have made fast start and leadership bonuses for gathering customers and thats $100 here and $100 there. Not bad for just starting out. What you want to do is become a Regional consultant. That is when you will really start making money and you can help your downline become Regional consultants as well.
By the time Ambit comes to your state, you will be far ahead of the game. You will be a Regional consultant and on your way to earning a full-time monthly income.
Its very simple. Its the ultimate home business because Ambit is selling something that everyone uses…come on…say it with me…..energy!!!! I used to be a cheerleader!
If you have any questions at all and want to hear direct from me, then leave a comment and I will get back to you via email. Also, my Ambit websites have my phone number on them so you can always me and I can get back to you as well.
I wouldn’t steer you wrong! Here’s the website http://lauralicata.ambitenergy.biz

Filed Under ambit energy, home based business, Home Business | Posted on April 23, 2008
OK, I know the title is corny but I needed something different and catchy. Over the last few days, I have had random phone calls and several emails from people wanting to know more about Ambit Energy. I think what is happening is that at first it sounds kind of crazy to some people because this idea is new. I mean selling electricity and gas??? But now there is so much literature on Ambit and people are coming out and telling their success stories that its now peaking people’s interest!
In these times where the economy is in a downturn, more people are looking for ways to supplement their income or just get away from their mediocre jobs. That is why the timing is perfect for Ambit Energy consultants. I know I have said it before, but just think about it one more time…..we sell energy! Everyone uses it and we can give them a better price. Its such a simple idea and so perfect.
Sure, some people resist change…at first that is. After people start to see their bills are lower and it doesn’t cost anything to change over, then why wouldn’t you do it?? Then the entrepreneurial-minded people see the opportunity for what it is—->the most exciting home based business to hit the US! Go Ambit Energy!

ambit energy home based business Home BusinessI Absolutely Love Having A Home Business
Filed Under life lessons, home based business, Home Business | Posted on April 17, 2008
I was never interested really interested in business and certainly never considered having a home business. No way. I was thinking before I began to write this that I remember thinking that education is a more intellectual and noble pursuit and I was inspired by that notion.
I can admit when I am wrong. I was wrong. I personally get so much satisfaction on a daily basis these days. I have the opportunity to help people learn how to make a living or at least help them to earn money to supplement their incomes.
I have had the chance to help and motivate people and actually give pretty decent advice on how to get started with their home business. So guess what, I am still teaching! My students are interested in this part of my life and love to hear and learn about marketing (not during math class of course)! They think of it as an option for them some day and frankly it is an option.
There are so many good people who have home businesses and who truly enjoy helping people learn and earn as well. I learned from the experts (thanks Stone and everyone affiliated with PIPS) and I love sharing what they gave me.
Its not only about the money. When you have a home business you have to be creative, giving, strong, secure, intelligent and you have to love to learn something new every day. You have to be good with people and be sincere because most people will see the insincerity. You have to love what you are doing.
I sure do!
home based business Home Business life lessonsJust Steps Away From Regional Consultant-Go Ambit
Filed Under ambit energy, home based business, Home Business | Posted on April 2, 2008
Wow! Did I have an exciting past couple of days. I really love having a home business and get complete satisfaction from my daily interactions.
I had a new consultant sign up with me today with Ambit Energy, a great guy from New Orleans, and exactly the type of person you want to be on your team. He is trustworthy and honest and so excited about Ambit. He saw the potential and that is what I love.
This is the one business that I don’t feel you don’t have to sell. I may be wrong in feeling like this but if someone doesn’t see how Ambit Energy has such enormous potential then I don’t feel like convincing them. At this point, I think it sells itself!
I get emails and calls constantly and I truly believe it is just a matter of time. I have to keep reminding myself that I have only been with this company for a little over a month and in those terms I am having great success….I’m almost a regional consultant!
I was also accepted as a guest author on one of the many websites of Trent Brownrigg, expert home business guy! That’s really exciting for me too because its such a privilege to be recognized and accepted by this community of very knowledgeable, successful and warm people. I’m honored and realize that people do want to read what I have to contribute.

ambit energy home based business Home BusinessNews On Con Edison - Power Up Ambit People
Filed Under ambit energy, home based business, Home Business | Posted on March 18, 2008
I found this article in yesterday’s NY Post on how customers in the boroughs of NYC are being charged significantly higher on their energy bills than their upstate counterparts. This is big news for those of us who are part of Ambit Energy now. We are right here when the news is happening and this may be one of the most exciting times in my life. I feel as if I have discovered Google or something. I think this is going to be really, really, big.
I’ll be hitting the high rises in the boroughs this week and next to secure contracts with building managers, superintendents, owners, etc. and I am thrilled about it. I’m learning that I’m actually pretty good at this kind of work and I really do love talking to people when I’m excited about something! OK….so here is the article.
NYERS GET $HOCKED
CON ED ELECTRIC BILL 63% MORE THAN UPSTATERS PAY
By BILL SANDERSONMarch 17, 2008 — Con Ed’s residential customers in New York City and Westchester pay 63 percent more for electricity than people who live just 60 miles north of Manhattan - a difference of more than $500 per household per year, a new state survey shows. And with state utility regulators set to approve a big hike in Con Ed’s rates on Wednesday - along with soaring oil and natural-gas prices - the disparity between upstate and downstate is about to get a lot worse.Con Ed residential customers who used 500 kilowatt hours of electricity in January saw a bill of $110.20 - 63 percent more than the $67.66 charge paid by customers of Central Hudson Gas & Electric.In fact, Con Ed charges more in every category than any upstate private utility. The state’s survey doesn’t include
“The PSC has no viable plan to meet future electricity needs of Con Edison customers at a reasonable price,” Norlander said.
State officials are expected to boost Con Ed’s delivery charges by around 17.5 percent this week.
So what do you know. I have to admit I think that things are going my way in more ways than one. This is absolutely the best time to be part of this revolutionary opportunity.

Everything Is Going Right-No Jinxes Please

On the business side of my life, I don’t see how things can get much better for a relative newcomer to this business. Since I am working on several programs and promoting these as well as for the latest happening newcomer, Lorelie Held, I am going to have to do this in some kind of order.
Let’s take Lorelie Held and The Reverse Funnel System to start. I haven’t even mentioned this to Lorelie yet (ooops) but someone emailed me who wants to start promoting for her! How crazy is that. That is the power of the internet….once you have a good reputation then the rest is easy. Just find a way to have a presence and people will flock to you. It’s all about trust and knowledge.
The RIOY system update is a fun one today. I won $250 for being in 2nd place for recruiting. The funny thing is I gave away at least one of my sign ups. The best part of this program is that the admin is trying so hard to make this work and really cares about the success of everyone. I honestly believe that.
I had someone write to me today (actually a couple of people) about if I think they will make $4000 a month after a year (someone asked if they can without recruiting). My response was that I can only trust myself to get me anywhere in this business and I think that is the attitude we all need to take. It is all about what you are willing to put in to a business and most importantly, you have to treat this like a business that you just spent a small fortune on. You have to nurture it and build up a clientele. That is how you will make it.
Finally, the Berry Greens Boost is out (I have to order it) and I think this will bring even more people into The Berry Tree. I’m personally going to order samples to give out. I’ve had a few emails of interest but no one signing. I don’t even let them have my URL but there have not been takers for the past couple of weeks. The good thing is that my experience with BT has been that I have had a few sign ups within a few weeks and then none and back up again. Looking forward to the upward turn.
Last but not least…my Ambit Energy update. This is craziness because I am selling energy and everyone needs it. I happen to live in a county in New York that Ambit works with so I have the potential to be the energy supplier!!! I did some offline advertising today which was kind of fun because people had no idea they could switch companies with no hassle, no charge and have less expensive energy bills. I actually think this is going to be very big and I am trying to sincerely make a timeline for myself and my progress.
So this is the latest update folks. I am doing my best to learn more and give more. Please check out my blog roll for links to my programs.
I have never done this but you can email me at anndcny@gmail.com to ask questions about anything. I just find that I can be more helpful this way.
