How to Make Money in a Down Economy

by Lynn Allen-Johnson - Dec 4, 2009

My life was being controlled by circumstances, my future determined by someone else.

Always thought making money would give me freedom, never realizing that the hours this would require not giving me the time
to appreciate it.

Never looked outside the box, with my success being limited by my own thoughts. With this realization I finally realized that it was time to get back to work.

The way you succeed is when you help others.

People have to have their own dream.

Get out of the box. Take a chance, lifting yourself to higher ground. You have to go after it. This economy is not going to change anytime soon.

Everybody has a gift. You have to let everyone on your team use their skill.

Share the possibilities.

I found my success with the USANA Health Service corporation, promoting their haircare, skincare, oral hygiene, fitness and nutritional products.

I was sold on how well their products work.

Their Business Standpoints
  • Have high quality consumable products. This will keep them coming back for more, generating a constant revenue stream.
  • Timing is everything. Take advantage of the market before competition sets in.
  • Leadership. Hang around with eagles to guarantee success. My motto has been "If I could it (without a formal education), anybody can!"
  • How to make money? Build a synergetic team.
The main reasons most people join a direct marketing business, is for free products, or to make a quick buck. Unfortunately only a few realize that it really requires hard work.

Each one of you is a connector.

Money has a way of freeing up your time.

To guarantee lifelong residual income, choose a few people and help them become successful. Your income will rise along with theirs.

Don't get yourself trapped into the following pattern.
  • You hate your job.
  • Work for a pension that is 1/3 less than you need.
  • Retirement is years away.
All of us hope to find employment. In light of the current economy it may not come from a regular job. You have other options available.

Some background on the company...
    USANA Health Sciences Corporation

    Sold in different parts of the world, most representatives absolutely rave about their magnificent product line.

    Dr. Myron Wentz, founder and CEO of the company is absolutely dedicated to science and nutrition. He believes in the science of prevention through proper supplements and diet, and has lead USANA to be a leading company in the health and nutrition industry.

    The product line within this organization is top notch. Even the smallest amount of research will reveal that the haircare, skincare, oral hygiene, fitness and nutritional products have worked wonders in the lives of the users.

    As a Usana Health Sciences distributer, you work within a fairly typical MLM (Multi Level Marketing) structure, with a few twists. Basically, you will purchase the company's products at a wholesale price, and sell them at a retail price, thus creating a form of income.

    Like most MLM's, the most lucrative way to earn money is to recruit other people onto your team. The more people you recruit and the more product they sell, the more money you can make.

    USANA's compensation plan is binary in nature where you will develop a right side and a left side. You are paid when your right side and left side volumes hit certain levels. For example, if you have N points on your right and N points on your left you will receive a commission.
