I have searched numerous opportunities to make money online over the past 10 years and very few have been truly free or actually offer a product or service that would benefit me. Today I am looking at My Power Mall (MPM).
Here is the basic information. You will get a free shopping mall when you sign up. You will receive a refund on all your purchases. You can gift free energy malls to anyone and you will receive a commission on all purchases up to 9 levels deep. You will receive all the necessary tools to succeed in your new business.
Sounds good so far, but then they all sound good in the sales letter. The first thing I looked at is is there a store in the system that I would actually use? Having the ability to shop online at a bagel shop in Nebraska would not benefit me. You have the ability to shop online at places like Sears, Target, PETsMART, Starbucks, Hickory Farms, Ralph Lauren, Overstock, Wes Marine, Old Navy, OfficeMax, Gap, Circuit City, and K Mart, just to name a few of the over 1000 stores available and you receive discounts on everything you buy.
I shop at a few of the stores listed and when I looked for a large markup on the items for sale, I couldn’t find any. I have seen other online stores increase the price per item so much to offset the commissions paid that anyone doing any kind of price comparison would never shop at that online store unless they live in a very small town. and the nearest store was over 50 miles away. That type of opportunity would limit my target market and I would get little or no commission on sales.
Is it really free? If I have to spend about $30 a month to keep an account active, I don’t consider that opportunity to be free. If I have to buy some kind of mailing list or do some kind of advertising to get a minimum number of people signed up under me to keep my status active, again it’s not free.
Does My Power Mall have qualification minimums? No, there are no required minimums, no meetings, no sales required, no activity requirements, and the company guarantees there will never be any. If you take a look at what they are offering you can see why this is true. There is only one online store.
Everyone who owns a mall uses the same set of software, the only difference being that their ID number is used to determine who gets a commission on the sale. Once you set up a database to track member ID numbers, it’s not much more expensive to track 1 member than it is to track 100,000 members. There is no programming staff required to help members customize the malls or additional computer space to handle all the different malls. With no approval process, as soon as you sign up, you’ll have your Mall ID in seconds.
unsold This is right at the top of my list of things I don’t want to do. I hate selling. I don’t want to send sales letters to all my friends or even people I don’t know. I like to write articles and I have websites for my articles on allergies, heart disease, diamonds, etc. When I write an article about allergies or diamonds, I don’t tell the reader that they need to go out and buy this vitamin because, or go to this jewelry store and buy diamonds. I like to write articles that contain useful or interesting information. I put ads for one or two vitamin companies or jewelry companies on my websites and if the reader wants to buy something then great and I get a commission on the sales.
This may reveal my age, but a few years ago I went to England on business. I was with some people from work and the subject of blue jeans came up. When they asked me how many blue jeans I had, I told them I had about 6 pairs. They immediately thought that I was rich. Why, because at the time blue jeans were very hard to come by in England and cost around $150 each. My cost was around $30. I sold them my blue jeans for $100 each.
American products are still very hard to come by in many foreign countries. My Power Mall group has arranged with a company to ship almost everything they sell to almost any country. It will cost extra for shipping and customs paperwork, but if a customer in Uruguay wants to buy Craftsman tools from Sears, he can.
One last thing, My Power Mall donates a percentage of the profits to non-profit organizations. They even give you the option to sign up your favorite nonprofit organization for a win-win situation. Can I recommend this company? I just signed up with them and I don’t have enough history with the company to give you a fair and honest report, so you’ll have to check back later. They have passed all my tests, but you should take a look yourself and see if they pass all your tests.
