Market America is proud to announce that a new blog is launched. The "soft launch" date will be Thursday January 24th of 2008. This blog will be talking about everything Market America related. There will be several authors, but one goal: to make communications easier and more informal from corporate to distributors and the general public.This blog will NOT replace our current PR - both Press Release and Public Relations. It will be a part of Market America's public relations to the general public and it will mention different press releases, but it will NOT replace anything we currently are doing. However, it WILL enhance communications among different groups to help Market America become a better company catering to distributors' and users' wants and needs.
Special thanks:
--Upper management for the support for this project
--Project management director for overseeing the project, both project and tech points of view
--Project manager for pushing this through
--Technical people that worked on this for implementation of the blog
--Future authors for keeping this blog alive
--Future comment submitters for giving corporate an insight on the wants and needs of distributors, customers, and users of the site
--Myself for being awesome. :) j/k
We currently have a few blog posts in mind. Open Poll: what does everyone want to see more of posts about? News about the company? Special deals on products? References to press release? Recap of events? New products offered? Anything else?

Great job on the blog. This is just a short note thanking you for following through with what you promised us at convention. Great Job!
We need this to help advertise products and the business that is for sure
This is just additional proof that when JR says something will happen, it does! We have been anxiously waiting for the unveiling of these additions to our web presence! Way to go MA! KLB in TN
How about high fives to the trainers at the events? And kind of a "now what did we learn in class today?" session.
I think this will show the trainers really what an awesome job they do, how much we appreciate them, and that we are going out and using the information they are teaching us. It'll also give plenty of opportunity for distributors to bounce ideas off eachother.
In response to your Open Poll....ALL OF THE ABOVE!!
Thanks! :o)
Yes, absolutely put information about new products up here. As the popularity grows it will be a great place to let people know when things come out or when promised features go live. Great work... this company is the best.
I enjoy being able to share thoughts with MA & colleagues here, all of those ideas a great.
Please do post info about new & existing products & the people or stories behind them. Maybe they could post something personally too?
Can't wait for Miami!!:D
I say all of the above, but I think it should pay a little closer attention to product and technology releases on the portal as well as partnerships and MA press. But I LOVE the MA Blog!!!
Great addition to our Web presence. I'm not clear what the objective is and it should be clear to all distributors. For internal information on ways to prospect, testimonials, ideas on how to retail, etc there should be an internal blog....for product releases and to communicate with clients and prospects it's great. What's the objective. Pls clarify.
Thx and see ya in BEAUTIFUL MIAMI!!!
All of the above. I would like to see any and all announcements ma related.
This is beautiful. The accessibility and interactivity between this company and the rest of the world is remarkable! Regarding preferred posts; post anything that shows the vision of this company and how fast we are moving toward it. Product & service posts are great for that. But lets also talk about JR's vision of the sub-economy/ecosystem that we are all creating together.
ma, you never cease to impress me. it's one fantastic thing after another, in addition to this wonderful income stream. I am so proud to be part of this company.
Thank you, Thank you :-)
Thank you for all of your hard work! Congratulations on the newest addition to our family! Grow Strong!
I would like to see posts regarding manufacturers updates of our products. Specifically, why some are going out of business suddenly? With no warning?
Great job on the blob! Is there an RSS feed which I can subscribe to? I couldn't find it on the blog home page.
Alex: thanks for the compliment on our "blob". :) Seriously though, we're planning on it as phase 2. Most of the staff are extremely busy with projects that're related to leadership, we have many things planned for phase 2 of the blog, such as the ability to Digg it and such, and RSS is one of the things planned.
In the mean while, we're planning on posting once a day starting sometime next week.
Hope that helps.
What a great addition to our web portal, keep up the fantasic work and the awesome service we provide.
This is a wonderful addition to our awesome web portal, it goes to show you just how huge JR and Loren's vision is, Thank you, keep up the great work. GO MARKET AMERICA.
Thanks for a reply. One more feature that would be great to get during phase 2, spell checker for me :-)
I love this! MA is doing better and better every day. One question I have is when we will have a blog/forum for Spanish distributors. Great job!
Special Transitions life style blogs (Sharing class experience and tips) It would be awesome for all the coaches. Can't wait for it.
Great move by MA, although a little late but just intime. I wish to see more MA products being blog.
I would like to see a recap of events as well as, a look at upsoming new products.
Re what should be included in the blog: all of the above mentioned including new products, special prices, etc.
Bravo Market America!! You keep hitting them out of the park! This is going to be a great resource for immediate feedback and reviews on new products and updates. Keep up the great work!
Vision, Leadership,....never in my life have I seen a CEO not "pass the batton" JR you Personally deliver the information with the passion that is true to your vision and heart...and that example is brillantly duplicated by the whole corporate team!Amazing!

This is a great new addition to the web portal! Congratulations everyone! We really need to get it translated into Spanish for when Latinos check out the Spanish side of the portal.

Not a very sexy suggestion but needed: Please post us BEFORE you implement changes to the site and if you plan on using MA distributors and clients for QA purposes. This will curtail any blind-sided changes. A week by week implementation update would be great. Communication will be the key to MA's new portal success...
Loren,
Leadership was AWESOME.
Thank you for bringing the femine side to MA. Your the best. Sharing your secrets makes us realize we are all the same.
It is amazing what you, JR and all the corporate team and staff at MA are doing.
Go Girl. Thank you.

Leadership 2008 was the best event ever. JR was absolutely inspiring and radiated passion and belief. If you didn't "get MA into your heart" you must be dead! Thank you JR and the corporate team for all you do for us!

Congratulations to the Executive Team and all the people who helped put up a spectacular, fantastic and bombastic leadership conference in Miami. I so admire the fact that both JR and Loren have established "transparency" in everything that's going on in Market America and in their lives, so as to make the UFOs proud to be part of its success and inspire us to keep reaching out for the stars. Loren's candidness in her blogs is refreshingly entertaining and her enthusiasm, contagious.
It has been going on 10 years now that I and several others here at work have been promised we are going to the moon by our Chief, but no one has told us when and how. Now, through Market America, I've found a way to get there....in 2 to 3 years, maybe less and the only ticket needed is a calculated degree of hard work.
Damn the torpedoes.... full speed ahead!!!
Just an idea....to have easy access and to inform distributors and customers of products that have their own website. For example, I had no idea that Ashanti's Beauty blend had it's own top notch website explaining in detail about the product. A link to great websites like these and more would be fantastic!
When does the product preview start?
