This is an excellent list to reach engineers and heavy construction professionals. What do you think?

Bethesda List Center has teamed up with BDL Media to make the eMail lists of the subscribers to their eNewsletters available. Most of these subscribers are in China.

These lists are in vertical markets that are sometimes very hard to identify on many lists…. and in most cases, the publications are in English and Chinese versions – so choose your language of promotion.

Also, Bethesda List sends the eMails from China. This means 1) much better delivery from a known and trusted source within China and 2) a significant time delay for North American and European mailers. So plan on a minimum of 3-5 business days to set-up, test and send any promotions.

Here are the Chinese lists available:

Paul Orberson started Fortune High Tech Marketing in 2001. Currently their base of operations is in Lexington KY. This means that FHTM has graduated past the 5 year mark, which in this industry has become the hallmark for a successful launch . There are many multi level marketing companies that never make it past their first year in business. This would imply that FHTM has a competent management team and infrastructure . These are unquestionably two components to look for in your search for a company to call home.

The FHTM opportunity comes across very straight forward and we have not found anything in between the lines that would be a cause for alarm . Some things we would like to mention are that FHTM is using a newer model in the multi level marketing industry. In the distant past as with some of the larger mlm’s like Amway, the way things were done was a bit different. With the older companies traditionally they would manufacture their own products which would then be sold to the distributors to house and then re-sell to their customer base. This obviously could become an issue for those that did not have easy access to storage space. This model none the less made fortunes for some. The next phase was to incorporate drop-shipping. The new sales rep would use an affiliate link and the customers could order products directly through . The company would then ship the product to the customer and the sales agent gets the commission. Many companies are still operating in this same way today and it has become a very lucrative model.

Fortune High Tech Marketing is part of the innovative trend that we will call phase 3. With this new phase there is just one slight variance . That is that the network marketing company is no longer manufacturing their own products . They are actually partnering with other companies and selling the products of those other companies through their distributor base. This provides sales agents the benefit of having a more sizeable product base to sell . More products mean additional opportunity for income .

Product Categories

Health & Beauty

Services

Entertainment

Communications

There are a multitude of products within each category. This really does give~really gives} the sales agents a wide open market place. It might be wise for sales reps to pick one market and target their efforts in that direction as to not spread themselves to thin. Having said that, having a variety of choices is a good thing in business. It should be a breeze to find products or services that are a good fit with some of your interests. This will make the sales process much more enjoyable which might just increase profits.

How Sales Reps Get Paid

For starters you have to be qualified to earn commissions with the company. The way to get qualified is to bring in 3 customers for service. These customers can even be you . For Example you could sign up for phone service or satellite TV at your home etc.

Residual Income

The company pays out 2%-25% commissions to its sales reps for products and services that they sell.
The company also pays out residual commissions to you for services sold by sales reps on your first level.

Bonus Income

The company pays out $100 for each new distributor that joins your organization as soon as the new distributor brings in 3 new customers.

What are the start up costs ?

There are 2 start up levels

$75

$300

Having  said that, anyone who is taking this business seriously should opt for the $300 as this is necessary to qualify for the bonus commissions.

Fortune High Tech Marketing passes the test as a great opportunity for those seeking to create generate income from home.

Regardless of which opportunity you choose , it is of the utmost importance for you to have systematic processes in place that generate lead flow and automate the sales process for you. If you don’t have systems like this in place your failure in this business is guaranteed. Access FREE Network Marketing Training Here

Today is Census Day in the USA. This event happens every 10 years, as it has from 1790. A great time to get the pulse of our nation’s activities.

Very interesting interview with the Director of the US Census on the PBS Newshour last night about the in’s and out’s outs of trying to find every person living in the USA.

This counting includes everyone, not just citizens. The first census counted everyone and all after that have made the effort as well.

It is not possible to overestimate the importance of the Census to government and our marketing industries.  Gathering the data for what was said to be 120,000,000 households is a task that is vastly under appreciated.  Last Summer, every street with housing on it in the US was walked by a Census worker who noted all housing addresses.

This was after getting all the commercial lists, various utility lists, government lists and the like. A massive undertaking to attempt to reach everyone who puts their head down in the US to sleep.

Costs – amazing.

If  you are among the folks who return the printed form. Cost to the taxpayer is estimated at under 45 cents.

Don’t fill out the form and someone is going to the door and asking the questions. Cost $60.

Both cost figures are way below the cost of a typical marketing sales call for almost every company. “Volume, it’ s volume.”

Here is a link to the video interview
