Living The Cash Back Life & Helping People Find What They Want Online

I'm Blown Away By The Miami 2012 World Conference!

Lisa Moffa — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:44:57 GMT

As an entrepreneur and social media fan it's so empowering to know that I'm right on target with the developments from Market America / Shop.com's technology updates! There truly is so much to offer the average person willing to build an internet business but they have to use the tools and share the opportunity. I'm so glad that I went down to Miami to attend this amazing 3 day event, it's helped rejuvenate my goals to find new team partners and develop a steady income using the UnFranchise system with the new products, technology and tools. I've already got several people messaging me for info while I was there!

Then as a makeup addict and Motives Trainer, I was so excited to learn about the new Spring collection and see the launch of Motives for La La that's been getting so much press like this story on Glamour. There are literally dozens of blogs, articles and TV news clips about it that there's no way for me to post them all here, look at the press link on the Motives site if you want to read up on all of those.

Perhaps the most notable thing was meeting La La Anthony! I attended the private Motives Trainer session on Wednesday and she popped in with Loren Ridinger to introduce herself to us and give some insight on how the Motives for La La ethnic makeup came to be along with how she will create some high visibility for Motives with her star power. Honestly, I didn't know who she was before the partnership but I hear she was an Mtv V-Jay (video jockey/host) a few years back before the reality show so I'll have to look up her bio. She's really nice and very personable and also building her own business as a distributor too, just like the rest of us! There's no paid endorsement for this makeup. I sat in the second row, right behind her brother, as it turns out, and took a bunch of cell photos that I put on Flickr along with my camera shots of the trip.

The Motives booth was a mob scene with a film crew while Loren & La La were there!! I stood in line later in the day to swatch the new makeup from both La La and the new Passport Destination line from the original collection which are gorgeous and made with amazing high quality for the price. There are some comparison charts for price, quality and selection that were shown featuring La La's line against other brands marketing toward Women of Color. Since La La is Puerto Rican, she is aiming to fill a void in the beauty market with this line and attract the Latina and African-American client to Motives. I will see if I can upload photos of those slides but they flipped through them fast so I only caught a few. They used Fashion Fair, Black Up, Sacha, and Iman cosmetics to test against and scored way better with no oily-ness or ashy results along with better pricing too. (We requested the company test against M.A.C. too for the new La La line since it's different than the original Motives by Loren makeup.)

Here's a swatch on my hand:

I will write another post about some of the social media and technology updates another time for mobile apps, Alice, Shop Buddy and more! There's so much to catch up on and people to follow up with! It's simply amazing how much more powerful this business gets with every year that passes yet it's still a binomial marketing plan and requires so little in sales. Duplication & Management is the key to growth and residual income with the UnFranchise. Get started for under $500, ask me how!

Can't Wait To Get To 2012 World Conference Next Week!

Lisa Moffa — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 05:38:44 GMT

Corporate is leaking out good sneak peaks of new products, technical updates and other info about what to expect at next month's World Conference! I'm really looking forward to seeing the new makeup line for Spring and the Motives for La La collection in person and hopefully meet La La and Loren too! I also know there will be plenty of other products from MarketAmerica | Shop.com because it's a Product Brokerage with many market driven products. It's not just about beauty products or vitamins, although these Lipshine gloss in the Motives for La La collection look pretty awesome.

There are so many things to do before taking the trip down to Florida and of course, we started some Spring Cleaning in the basement so I've got to prepare for a trip and work to do while the weather is still mild. LOL Time to make a check list and book hair and nail appointments. Wish I did the hair sooner!

I'm also having a Convention Special for FREE SHIPPING on both my link for the main Shop.com shopping site for Market America brands and my Motives by Loren Ridinger cosmetics site!! This offer will run until Valentine's Day February 14th at midnight so shop now for your sweetie and get some sugar free non-fattening Motives makeup!!

Hope Miami Is Ready For The 2012 MarketAmerica / Shop.com World Conference!

Lisa Moffa — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 05:35:19 GMT

The next big corporate event in Miami is less than a month away! It's held from February 2nd - 4th and called the World Conference which is being held at the American Airlines Arena, right at the edge of Biscayne Bay. It's so beautiful there, I love the city lights at night. Everyone loves escaping South during the dread of winter for a little work like this!

It's actually a very exciting and informative event with ongoing presentations at the arena and specialized trainings at the host hotel. Depends on how much information you can keep up with! Colleagues have learned to bring packets of AWAKE or Mochatonix to keep our energy going so as not to miss anything. Plus there's some shopping for promotional materials, partner store booths with reps to talk to and a bayside mall and site-seeing in Downtown Miami, or a short trip over to South Beach for dinner. I'm still savoring the memory of the Mojito I had there last time, I've tried it at many of the local restaurants and no one can mix one up the same here on Long Island.

Besides the fun tropical atmosphere, there's a lot of breaking news from corporate and surprise visits from celebrities with trainings that will focus on the final stages of incorporating Shop.com into the Market America business model as the ultimate business opportunity and internet shopping platform. Can't wait for those upgrades and the homepage redesign to launch!

I'm sure we'll hear about the statistics from the 2011 Holiday Shopping Season and how many people shopped and much Cash Back was paid out for holiday shoppers along with how many distributors got extra checks for the new Bonus IBV Pool from resulting advertising money that was made as an internet retailer. The numbers are sure to be record-breaking.

I'm making my travel arrangements now, I invite you to meet me down there so ask me how to get your own ticket and see/hear it for yourself! Be a part of the biggest home business opportunity event to hit the market and find out if it's for you, or not. Imagine what would happen if you empowered yourself as an entrepreneur in 2012 and make the changes you say that you want to happen? Don't let an opportunity like the UnFranchise pass you by without checking it out!! "What if?"

Interested? Watch this half hour video of CEO JR Ridinger explain to company leaders The Playbook For The Next 3 Months leading up to World Conference. It gets really good about 13 minutes in with the annuity analogy about residual income and after the 17 minute mark too.

edit: (AND the last six minute close with a new concept about how retailers make money!)

Lots Of Breaking News About LaLa Anthony's Motives Makeup Line!

Lisa Moffa — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:15:27 GMT

So Motives will officially get a famous face to go with the glam, finally! The popular tv star from VH-1's Full Court Wife hit show with her basketball playing husband also has a movie in the works and is very excited to partner with her BFF and Senior VP of MarketAmerica/Shop.com, Loren Ridinger.

Much of the Motives for La La makeup will be featuring pigments for Women of Color and La La says in the press that was published that she is focusing on developing foundations for the wide range of skin tones out there where there is a gap in the beauty marketplace. I'm sure this will be the pre-packaged product that will lead into the Motives exclusive Custom Blend for serious clients that want foundation to exactly match their undertones and skin care needs.

The New Health Assessment For Weight Loss From TLS Is Live!

Lisa Moffa — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:25:24 GMT

I just took the updated Transitions Lifestyle System diet profile to find out my recommendations for losing weight with the program and love it! It's free to do and was easy to fill out, just need my body fat numbers to fill in the details via a Tanita scale which I honestly have to dust off and I'm afraid to see how bad those ratios are now because I know I wasn't good this holiday season.

All the more reason to commit to a new weight loss plan for 2012!! I already have a few of the recommended supplements that showed up in my results and just have to get rid of all the boxes of goodies from customers that ended up coming home from our family repair shop. We should leave them there to share but my husband is stubborn and has other ideas which doesn't help my body fat ratio or BMI since I'm the one at home most of the time! Ugh (Gotta find that new Fat Shredder kit!)

Anyhow, I really do like the new set up for TLS and have signed up for the website to do something for myself which is an excellent personalization of my one word theme for 2012 of "Accomplish" since I have weight loss goals included in that vision. Try it yourself and let me know if you sign up too....if you use my info as a referral then we can do it together!! There's even a special offer to get 2 months for free. I may create a private Facebook group for my team and customers as additional support our efforts.

Looking Ahead to Mayans, Dragons & Goals For 2012

Lisa Moffa — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 04:43:15 GMT

Looking ahead at the 2012 New Year, a social media coach I admire and respect has shared an intriguing tip for making a one word theme for the year ahead as an overall goal. I'm a big believer in goal setting and vision boards which are great for reminding you why you strive for something more out of life when things get tough. New Year Resolutions never work and fade away quickly like most people's diet plans. Her chosen word is 'Growth' for expanding her life on many levels while I've selected 'Accomplish' because what good are goals if you don't complete them and I have new plans already in the works.

2012 is a highly anticipated year of hyped-up prophecies from the Mayan/Aztecs and is the Year of the Water Dragon in the Chinese Calendar which is supposedly good for business and making money. So I think it'll be very important to create your own reality and not succumb to the naysayers and doomsday predictions. It's a year for prosperity and growth so why not focus on the good that can come from that by setting goals? Yeah, world strife will continue and I'm pretty sure we'll have more crazy record breaking weather over the year which I believe is thanks to the Solar Storm period peak cranking out more CME's but I choose to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Life is what you make it!

What are your plans for 2012? What One Word Theme would you choose?

Accomplish: "You are not merely here to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement." - Woodrow Wilson
