Hi there Anonymous,
I was just surfing the blogs when I noticed your comment. I believe you pose a very valid point, and definitely deserve a response (that's the beauty of this whole blog thing --FEEDBACK).
I'll be the first to admit that the centerfold in January/February Powerline was a bit more edgy than what we've run historically. But we looked at it as a great opportunity to showcase just what level of success is possible with this company. Besides ... it was an awesome photo! As editor, I would have been remiss not to share something that hot with members of our Distributor base who might not necessarily be "into" magazines like OD, and might otherwise have missed what turned out to be a great inside look into the lives of the Ridingers.
With that said, you needn't worry about the dynamic of the company changing. I can't think of any other company this size where the CEO actually knows his cubicle employees by name - or one where the Senior VP gives you a warm, sincere hug when she's pleased with your progress on a project (We live for Loren hugs around here). In fact, that sincerity and dedication to the "homegrown" ethics and business principles is why the company remains headquartered in Greensboro - despite the fact that it would probably be easier to operate from a larger metropolitan area. The executive team values the little city that's nurtured its success, the innumerable people who've helped the company grow, and their humility, work-ethic and values. In our eyes, " Joe Everyguy " is THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON in the entire company. Lucky for us, there are over 160,000 of them!
Although JR and Loren have definitely achieved a comfortable (and yes, at times glamorous) lifestyle, they remain two of the most candid, accessible people I have ever met. And they run their company with that mindset...ma will always be a company run by the people and for the people. The opinions and needs of our Distributors have weight here...it's the driving force behind our success.
Don't just take my word for it; now there's yet another chance for your voice to be heard. Those of us here at HQ want to know exactly what types of things you and our other readers would like to see more of in future editions of Powerline (and the things you think may be due for an overhaul). Just cast your vote below, and encourage other members of your team to do the same. And as always, we can be reached directly at testimonials@marketamerica.com and tellus@marketamerica.com. Good, bad or indifferent... we're here and ready to listen!

PetHealth - Caring for your pets from the inside out
Leadership 2008 was a great success. The launch of the PetHealth line extension is something that I am very excited about. Pet care is a booming market, with sales in 2007 at $44 Billion. Our little companions are exposed to a variety of health issues both internally and externally. Supplementing their diet with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients can have a profound effect on their health and well-being.
I was very excited to meet with all of you, and I am very excited about growing the PetHealth line. We have so much potential in this market and can truly make a difference in the lives of not only our pets, but our friends, families and acquaintances. Almost three quarters of the American population owns a pet, so for those of you who don't own a pet - I am sure you know someone that does.
For those of you that couldn't make it to
Dog and Cat Multivitamin Formulas supply an adequate amount of key vitamins and minerals to promote the healthy growth and development of cats and dogs in two great formulas, one for dogs and one for cats.
Dog Cardiovascular Formula with coenzyme Q10, L-arginine and L-carnitine promotes cardiovascular health, supports normal cellular energy production, promotes normal blood flow and pressure, helps maintain the strength of the heart muscle and provides an antioxidant defense against free radicals.
Hypoallergenic Shampoo with aloe, lavender, oatmeal and honey extracts, gently cleanse the skin and hair and leave your dog with a soft, fresh and clean coat.
Medicated Shampoo helps to alleviate dry, flaking and itchy skin. Formulated with Panthenol to help the skin maintain its natural moisture balance and menthol to sooth and calm the skin and coat.
Pad & Paw Balm helps soothe the pad and paw, helps maintain skin elasticity, and contains essential lipids to protect the skin's natural moisture barrier. A mani and pedi for your dog or cat!
Ear Wash cleans, dries and soothes the ear canal, removes minerals and inorganic materials and softens and removes earwax. Routing ear cleansing is very important in promoting healthy ears for cats and dogs.
The pet products should be available by the first week in April.
I am hoping that this can be a forum for us to share stories about our pets. As the new products come in, I would love for you to share your experiences with the new products with me and anyone else that participates. Together I think we can make the Pet Store a huge success and change lives in the process. See you at the top!
Dream it. Do it.
JR wrote in his most recent 1-to-One, "Vision without action is just fantasy. And action that lacks vision only passes the time. But vision with action will change the world."
Wow...what amazing insight. You could teach an entire seminar on that one concept. Even though most of us understand what it takes to be successful already, when it is spelled out so straightforward, the close relationship between inspiration and motivation has incredible power behind it. The best part is that same power (able to change the world) is available to you and me -- all it takes is imagination and effort.
Elizabeth Weber not only realized her dreams could be reached, but she went after them with a vengeance. She recognized opportunity and did what it took to capitalize on it. In her own words, she explained it like this: "The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. Happy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true."
It is very important to take the time to define what you want out of life -- everything from your personal goals to your wildest dreams. Once you figure that out, you are left with a choice that only you can make. Either you decide to continue 'getting by' or in my opinion, merely existing -- OR -- you make up your mind to follow your dreams no matter how much time it takes, how much work is required, or how many times you fall in your journey. We all have time! Work has never killed anybody! And it doesn't matter that you fell, but that you got back up!
I will make you a promise right now. If you can dream and if you can do, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
So my question to you is rather simple. What inspires you to dream; to hold onto the belief that one day your deepest desires could come true? And, what motivates you to never give up on them?

Well Prime Time is the solution. Prime Time works via several mechanisms to support healthy male libido and support healthy sexual function.

Women, don't worry, we have something for you as well. Want to feel like you are 25 again? Then Prime Time Female Libido Formula is your answer.

It supports healthy female libido (sexual interest and desire), promotes normal sexual arousal and intensity, enhances sexual interest, promotes normal sexual climax and may help promote normal vaginal wetness. Experience the intimacy you've been looking for with Prime Time Female Libido Formula.
Prime Balance Bone Maintenance Formula
Pop, crack. That's the sound of your joints as you get older. It could even be osteoporosis if you are a post-menopausal women and an older man. If that's the case, then Prime Balance is just for you. Balance is designed to help prevent osteoporosis, support calcium absorption and retention, maintain bone density and support normal mineralization and bone formation. This product is also one of the first on the market to combine both Bonistein and calcium to provide an exceptional bone supplement. Prevent those bones from breaking or cracking later on in life with Prime Balance.
Prime Factor for Men
Come on, all men want to enjoy feeling like a young buck, regardless of age. But as men age, their biology takes at a toll on them. In order to maintain a more youthful metabolic rate, Prime Factor packs a powerful blend of vitamins, minerals, pro-hormones (chemical messengers that stimulate metabolic activity) and herbs that help stimulate the production of cytokines and create a balanced intracellular environment. Human growth factors play a critical role in delaying the aging process because of their modulating effect on metabolism. This unique formulation provides a potent set of anti-aging properties with the objective of replacing what the aging process takes away.
Prime Factor for Women - Human Growth Factor Formula
But wait, women, there is hope to feel like a spring chicken again! Well Prime Factor for Women is for you! Prime Factor for Women has been designed to foster the natural release of female-oriented hormones that decline during the aging process so that the body's metabolism can be gently pushed toward a more youthful state. Ingredients such as tribulus terrestris and wild yam extract, which have long been used in China and Europe to help support, balance and optimize female hormonal function, specifically target several key biological areas in women that are vulnerable to age-related changes.
Prime Dreamz
When was the last time you woke up every morning feeling refreshed and ready to face the day? How would you like to feel that way when you wake up? Prime Dreamz allows a good night's sleep to become a reality.

Prime Hearing
What? Huh? Do, what, huh? Do you find yourself saying this from time to time when people are talking to you? Do you want to be able to hear the music again? Well Prime Hearing is for you! Prime Hearing is a proprietary formulation of green tea extract, vinpocetin, folinic acid, magnesium and zinc, designed to promote ear health. Prime Hearing helps to maintain nerve health and functions, helps to promote the health and retention of auditory cells, may help to maintain hearing as we age, may help to clarify auditory sounds or noises, promotes circulation of blood, oxygen and nutrients to cells, and promotes the health and retention of auditory cells.
Your quality of life can be affected by many stressors from the environment.
Many of these stressors can weaken the immune system and cause a slower metabolism, especially as we age. I am only in my late twenties and feel like I am getting old with the popping knees and the few gray hairs that I'm starting to notice. We all know that the aging process is a part of life, and we all must go through it. But we can enjoy a more vibrant, youthful life with a little help from the anti-aging line. Check out the anti-aging line today and order Prime product today. It's never too late to be in your prime!

ED Confidential - An Insider's View of Market America
If there's one thing I've learned in my year as editor of Powerline, it's that there's a certain "magic" about Market America.
Ok, so at first thought that statement might sound a little biased, seeing as how they sort of sign my paychecks every month. But that is precisely my point - they don't even have to pay me to get excited about this place! Never before have I worked for a company where each and every individual under the roof believes so strongly in what they're doing. And I have the best job of all... passing the word on to members of the field.
If you think the crowd gets excited when new products and services are announced at our events, you can't even imagine the level of anticipation I experience. Almost every day I receive emails and briefings about some new mind-blowing venture Market America is making a reality. If it's not some cutting-edge new product, it's a new service or an exclusive partnership.
Seriously, can you fathom what it's like to look up from your desk one day and see the Duchess of York standing 5 ft away? Or to hear someone on a phone call "talking shop" with the incomparable Kimora Lee - goddess of all things fashion and entrepreneurial alike - as if it were as normal as calling mom on a Sunday afternoon? Perfect example of how this place turns dreams into a reality. I often think that nothing within the potential of my imagination is out of reach here. If I've so much as dreamed about it, chances are there's somebody within the company that's already making it happen.
The shared, genuine belief in what we do here makes it all possible. It's why everybody from CEOs and celebrities, to working moms and day laborers stand still and listen when JR speaks. They all know that it's the voice of unfettered opportunity calling, and they know it knocks at the door of this humble Greensboro building like clockwork. If you can dream it, it can be brought to fruition within these walls!

Should you receive overexposure to the sun, remember Timeless Prescription After Sun Repair to provide immediate relief to sunburned areas. This formula is non-sticky, soothes the skin on contact and reduces sun-related redness while revitalizing your skin. We certainly do not want anytthing to slow down our activities as the weather begins to warm! This product should be in every medicine cabinet for sunburn relief - it's in mine!
Don't forget, Fabulosity Bath & Body is coming soon! Look for more details in the near future.
What other products would you guys like to see in the Personal Care Store? I would love to have your feedback. I will talk to you soon. Krystal

How Has Market America Changed Your Life?
Greetings to all, and welcome to the world of endless possibilities. Through Market America, literally all your dreams are within reach. Take a second and think about anything you want...anything. More free time, financial security, a better way to shop, great deals at your favorite stores, a place to meet like-minded people...the list goes on forever! How many companies can offer you all that? I will give you a hint, you can count them on one finger.
The diverse nature of Market America makes it beneficial for anyone, anywhere in the world. Think about it; someone out there may have all the money they will ever need, but wants the convenience of one Web site for all their online needs: weather, news, stocks, travel, shopping, etc. Marketamerica.com has it! Or, take a person who doesn't even use the Internet much because they are stuck working long days and weekends just to barely get by. That person is the perfect candidate for more time freedom and a residual income found through the UnFranchise(r) System.
The point is that everyone is different, and each individual has very unique needs. But there is one challenge that impacts every human being...no matter what their background, race, economical status or beliefs. No one can escape the issue of proper health; not doctors, celebrities, star athletes or world leaders (that includes you or me).
The sad part is that even with this universal truth in mind, many people in the healthcare industry have only seen this as a huge financial opportunity. Rather than trying to help fix the crisis, they are too busy capitalizing on it, thrusting an existing nightmare toward the point of no return.
On the other hand, there are those who are always looking ahead, envisioning ways to totally avoid health problems rather than just treat them. Welcome to the world of preventative nutrition. And I am proud to say that Market America is at the forefront of this wellness revolution. We offer the highest quality, most scientifically advanced nutritional products in the world, addressing a wide range of health concerns from bone wellness, to immune support, to healthy and radiant skin.
From an even broader scope, ma offers an entire line of economical cleaning products and the most complete water-filtration system to make sure your home is a clean, safe and healthy environment for your entire family.
But I shouldn't have to tell you any of this. Chances are if you're reading this article, you have already experienced amazing results from one of our Isotonix(r) formulas, energy enhancers, Snap products or anti-aging creams. Now is your chance to tell us which ma products work best for you!

The sad part is that even with this universal truth in mind, many people in the healthcare industry have only seen this as a huge financial opportunity. Rather than trying to help fix the crisis, they are too busy capitalizing on it, thrusting an existing nightmare toward the point of no return.
On the other hand, there are those who are always looking ahead, envisioning ways to totally avoid health problems rather than just treat them. Welcome to the world of preventative nutrition. And I am proud to say that Market America is at the forefront of this wellness revolution. We offer the highest quality, most scientifically advanced nutritional products in the world, addressing a wide range of health concerns from bone wellness, to immune support, to healthy and radiant skin.
From an even broader scope, ma offers an entire line of economical cleaning products and the most complete water-filtration system to make sure your home is a clean, safe and healthy environment for your entire family.
But I shouldn't have to tell you any of this. Chances are if you're reading this article, you have already experienced amazing results from one of our Isotonix(r) formulas, energy enhancers, Snap products or anti-aging creams. Now is your chance to tell us which ma products work best for you!

VoIP, Cell Phones and Text Messaging - Voitel Telecommunications Has It All!
What a phenomenal Leadership School! Did you get everything you were asking for and more? Were you inspired, motivated and just flat out blown away like I was? Being involved with Market America for over eight years, I have never seen more information, suprises and special releases at an event! It was amazing and best of all, I couldn't be more excited about all the new releases in our new Telecommunications Store through Voitel®. You know, the last six months of research, development, and releases of VoIP, Cell Phones and Text Messaging services will not compare to the next six months! We are on a fast moving course to be one of the hottest divisions in all of Market America, and not to mention one of the most lucrative. The fact of the matter is everyone you know uses the telephone, pays for service every month and is looking for ways to cut their costs and still stay connected to friends, family, business associates and prospects. This is where you come in, through Voitel Telecommunications, you can offer a way for those to save money, stay better connected and share in the expansion of the VoIP, Cell Phones and Text Messaging business by exposing those interested in telecommunications via your UnFranchise® business! Remember you only have to sell these services to your customers once - unlike traditional products - and you get paid each and every month for everyone you sign up for VoIP, Cell Phones or Text Messaging service. You are in the right place at the right time!
Let's recap what was released and trained on from Voitel at this past 2008 Leadership School in Miami:
- New Voitel Wireless Service - This really fires me up! Now you can earn recurring IBV for paying your monthly cell phone bill!! Not only up to 8% for your monthly cell phones plan, but 3% for Data and Text Messaging and 5% for International per minute rates! If that wasn't enough you can get branded cell phones of your choice with Voitel or Market America logos! What better way to share the service with others than to show them your cell phones with Market America or Voitel branding! What's really hot, is that you can opt for a month to month plan with no contract OR agree to a one year commitment and we will give you a $100 credit towards the purchase of new cell phones or to use to offset the cost of getting out of your current cell phone contract. I really think we have all the bases covered here and considering we use the same network coverage as one of the largest network providers in the industry (hint - "Can you hear me now? GOOD®")* we know you won't be disappointed with your Voitel cell phone service! Soon we will have this new service up on the portal and in our state-of-the-art shopping system, but until then you can go directly to www.voitelwireless.com for more info, view the available cell phones and to signup.
- Voitel Cell Phones Superstore - Happy with the cell phone service you have and simply want a new cell phone? You can go to this partner store and pick from all the major carriers, plans and also upgrade to a new cell phone and we will pay you IBV for your initial purchase. We know you want options and this partner has them all. Earn IBV for buying a new cell phone and accessories and keep your current service. Visit "Cell Phones & Services" on your Market America Web Portal today.
- Voitel Text Message Marketing (TMM)- Offer every business owner a new and popular way to stay connected to customers and attract new ones by the latest in cell phone mobile marketing - Text Message Marketing! The Voitel TMM portal allows you to use for yourself and sell individual Text Messaging centers to businesses to create Text Message Marketing campaigns. These campaigns can be used for "inbound" marketing - which allows the use of marketing keywords in advertising (ie "Call today for more info or TEXT "More Info" to 62898) once they text message that keyword from their cell phones - BANG - they get an autoresponse from you and you capture their contact info. Also, the TMM portal can be used for "outbound" marketing - a business owner can input all of their customer's cell phone numbers into TMM and send out text messaging to all of their customer's cell phones asking if they would like future updates from your store or business to their cell phones. Once they respond "YES", you have their permission to fire away ongoing text messages attracting them back to your business. Potential prospects for this service? Real Estate professionals, Mortgage Brokers, Marketing/Promotional companies, any business that is in competition for new customers and best of all your UnFranchise business! For more info on Voitel Text Message Marketing, visit www.voiteltm.com
- The Voitel Home Phone (VoIP) Service - Never before have we had a more versatile, cutting edge VoIP telephone service and business building tool through Voitel VoIP. Not only is there super cost savings using this VoIP service (Local and Long Distance calling to anywhere in the US and Canada starting at just $24.95 per month with 10 BV or IBV - your choice), super low industry per-minute International calling rates, standard features, tools and benefits not available through traditional telephone service but also recurring BV or IBV for using this service and getting everyone you know to use Voitel VoIP. We pay you to have and use your VoIP home phone and share the savings with others! What a novel concept!! I hope you didn't miss my main stage demonstration in Miami about using Voitel VoIP service and traveling abroad throughout the US and the rest of the world and staying connected the whole time as long as you have access to high-speed Internet. It really opened the eyes of those looking to specialize in offering Voitel VoIP to their customers and making Voitel Telecommunications their Major in the Market America University. What I love the most about this service is it is completely customizable by you, meaning that we depend on your usage, feedback and suggestions to make this VoIP service the best it can be because you are the architect of Voitel VoIP and you hold in your hands the potential of what it can become. So go to your portal, click on Voitel or Telecommunications and signup today. You will be in a perfect position to capitalize on a new trend and business within the Telecommunications industry that, right now, has over 190 million prospects for VoIP service and is valued to be at $20 billion in revenue by next year in the US alone!
Whew! did I get it all? Yes, for now anyway. As you can see we have a lot to offer for VoIP, Cell Phones and Text Messaging but this is just the beginning! Soon http://www.voitel.com/ will be transformed and will be your information power house on everything Voitel is and has to offer for VoIP, Cell Phones and Text Messaging. Just think, we had nothing but a logo and a dream less than one year ago and now we are climbing the upper ranks within the Market America product and services family. Imagine where Voitel will be in a year from now! But most importantly, where will you and your business be? The Voitel train is leaving and your ticket is in your hand. Join us today and take the telecommunications business and industry by storm. Position yourself now and lead the pack - Connect with Voitel!

Music, Memories & Soul
I was driving to lunch today and heard a song by Foxy Brown and Jay-Z that I haven't heard in about 10 years. I remember the first time I heard it, I was in early high school, playing basketball on the neighborhood court on Long Island, and one of the older kids brought a boom-box and it played that song on the radio. When I heard the song again today, my mind had a pretty vivid imagery about that day - my friends that were playing basketball with me, the slipperiness of the half-court we were playing on due to the rain, and everything else that went on at the time.It seems like our SVP, Loren, feels the same way about music and memories. She mentioned in her post (link) "Listening to music to take you back in time. Have you ever listened to a song and your mind can take you all the way back to that moment, you can almost remember exactly what you were doing at the time. I guess sometimes you dont want to remember that moment, but most of the time it makes you smile. It makes you feel young again.
What about you? How does music effect your life? Does it make your sorrows disappear, provide distractions while bored, and trigger great memories?

Exciting New Health & Nutrition Products
At Leadership School, thousands were introduced to our newest product additions to the Prime (tm) Family: Prime (tm) Balance and Prime Time (tm) for Women.
Prime (tm) Balance - With osteoporosis affecting an estimated 75 million people in the USA, Europe, and Japan, a product like Prime (tm) Balance is an absolute must. Prime (tm) Balance is a unique combination of multiple ingredients, which have all been clinically shown to have a significant role in bone health. This formulation works to help prevent osteoporosis, promote normal bone mineral density, increase the uptake of calcium/magnesium and promote bone strength. There are many osteoporosis and calcium supplements on the market, but none that provides additional ingredients, such as Bonistein (patented genistein), that Prime (tm) Balance offers. A recent study in European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (see link) discusses the positive effects of isoflavones (genistein) on bone resorption (bone loss) and bone formation. Prime (tm) Balance is not intended to replace Calcium Plus which is used by teenagers, men, and pre-menopausal women. Women entering menopause or those who are pre-menopausal and older men should take this product in addition to Isotonix(r) Calcium Plus to help address the effects of aging on their bones. *
http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v62/n2/pdf/1602748a.pdf
Prime Time (tm) for Women - Low libido is one of the most common complaints among women today. Research statistics show that one third to one half of all American women (regardless of age) report that they experience some type of difficulty with sex. Prime Time (tm) for Women is a multi-functional product to aid in the enhancement of the female libido. Stress, depression, medications, and menopause can lead to reduced satisfaction and interest in sex. This product should help to facilitate sexual energy and interest, support normal blood flow to genital organs and tissues to promote sexual pleasure and performance. This product is intended to provide support for the mental, physical, and emotional sexual needs of women. Each of these ingredients has been carefully selected to provide the most cutting-edge approach for targeting these needs. *

New GeneSNP Panels
I have been with Market America for three months and this was my first Leadership. I must say that I had a great time and it was a very exciting learning experience for me. It really helped me to better understand the core values of the company and I am very proud to be a member of the MA team. After attending, I am already super excited for Convention 2008 in August and have a lot of ideas churning in my head for new products.
Market America is proud to offer two new GeneSNP panels, Nutrition and Wellness and Fitness Panels. The Nutrition and Wellness Panel will be replacing the Comphrehensive Panel. Those that have the current Comprehensive Panel can still swab and they will get the new Nutrition and Wellness Report/New SNP's. The panel has the same SNP's as the old Comprehensive panel plus the addition of seven new SNP's. If a customer wants the seven new SNP's, they will have to buy a new kit.
I am really excited about the Fitness Panel. As we emphasize be a product of the product, I have already sent in my swab and questionnaire for the new GeneSNP Fitness Panel. I can't wait to get my report back about my GeneSNP Fitness Panel and also order my first month's free supplements!

Quote of the weekend
Here is my favorite quote from Leadership School..."Market America is built on the best products, powered by the best people, and soon marketamerica.com will be powered by the best search technology Google." Cyrus Mistry of Google.
Lets Talk - Leadership School 08
All I can say is WOW! This was my 10th Leadership School now and if you weren't there, you really missed it. So many exciting things happening, so much star power behind Market America. It really is an amazing time watching momentum build and business grow and seeing all of these amazing people coming to the table, partnering with us, and celebrating our events and successes. It's never been easier to generate cash flow and build wealth for yourself as an Unfranchise owner.
Take the WebCenter program for instance, a program near and dear to my heart of course, it's simplicity just astounds me, all you have to do, to put some serious cash flow into your business, is leverage our system, and doing so, naturally leads to building wealth and ongoing income for yourself. You've got amazing stars like Marc Anthony and J-Lo who see it. I was sitting back stage with Angelo Pagan and Michael Wiseman, who also see it, and Michael was so excited to be specializing in the WebCenter program. So many Unfranchise owners came up to me as I was walking around, and stopped to talk to me about how easy our system was to leverage in what they were already doing. It really got me excited that I know we are poised to make some substantial leaps forward in growth, and I'm excited that so many of you are taking advantage of the systems we have in place.
Let me leave you with three things:

- First, make sure you've got a WebCenter so you can take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves, even one or two in a year have the potential to cover your business expenses for the year.
- Second, keep your ears open and listen to people as you go through your day, not just for website sales, but, for any opportunity that presents itself for the business. This is a business for busy people, work it into what you are already doing, just be aware of where you are and listen to what's going on around you. You never know what you'll hear.
- Third, take action, take action, take action. Make sure, when you are in the right place at the right time, take action, that's what separates you from those who don't succeed. You succeeded because were in the right place at the right time, you recognized it, and you took action!

Leadership School Recap
I'm sure many of MA's bloggers will be sharing their thoughts about Leadership School and all the announcements that were made throughout the week. But I wanted to take a moment to post a summary of the event, especially for those who were unable to make it.
With so many speakers and new products being unveiled, it's impossible to recap everything that happened at Leadership School. However, I don't think there's any doubt that three of the items people were most excited about was the launch of Fabulosity by Kimora Lee Simmons (see post below for footage of Loren and Kimora on stage) the Google partnership announcement and grammy nominated artist Paulina Rubio taking to the stage to close out the show.
Kimora spoke about her new product line that is available exclusively on marketamerica.com. Simmons was also accompanied by cameras from her reality show “Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane” for airing on an upcoming episode. As it turns out, Kimora has a fear of public speaking, so no better way to conquer that fear than to go on stage in front of over 23,000 Market America Distributors and guests. She did great and the crowd seemed really excited about having her there.
Personally, I thought the crowd was most excited about the announced initiative that marketamerica.com would now be powered by Google’s leading search engine capabilities. For those that don't know, customers will be able to search for exclusive Market America products and those from over 2,000 partner stores and have all results shown in an easy to compare format, including the price of each product on one page. Shoppers will also have the ability to use advanced search features, including sorting products by price, brand and store.
Market America closed Leadership School with Paulina Rubio performing some of her biggest hits. The concert kicked off Market America’s launch into the Latin market. Of course, marketamerica.com already features a Spanish web portal and Market America will expand into Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries within the year. The concert not only signified Market America’s launch into the Latin market, but also punctuates Rubio’s involvement with Market America’s entertainment portal where customers can purchase CD’s and products associated with their favorite artists, buy concert tickets for upcoming shows, download music, and will be a platform for interaction between fans and their favorite artists. In addition to Rubio, it was also announced that Jennifer Lopez, Carrie Underwood, Paul McCartney and Brooks & Dunn were already on board.
As I said earlier, it's impossible to blog about the whole show in one post. so for those of you who were there, share your experiences and thoughts of what went down at Leadership School.

Market America YouTube Commercial
Someone mentioned that Market America has video-clip commercials on YouTube, so I decided to go check it out. This specific one is pretty funny, thought I'd share it with everyone.
Objective analysis of the commercial from my personal point of view:
Plus: Funny, eye catching
Nutral: Not bringing up company brand till the very end. I know it's the new trend of TV commercials in this century, but it really doesn't help out brand awareness/recognition for a brand that's not on the average shopper's "top of mind" in the shopping category.
Lack: The commercial did its job, which is to be funny. As far as messaging goes, it sends the message of "Shopping online is better than shopping in brick-&-mortar stores", which is great. But I personally think it also should included the message of and reasons for "shopping at marketamerica.com is better than shopping at other mall-sites."
Overall: Great commercial, looks extremely professionally made, funny, and not intrusive.
How about everyone else? What do everyone else think of this commercial?

MA News Update
I have had quite a few Distributors email me since the blog started asking if I could use the blog to post some links to where the MA press releases are appearing in online media so they can share them and link them from their own blog sites as well. What a great idea! It gives you another credible place besides manews to show others where we are appearing. If you have your own blog I encourage you to post the links, as we can all help Market America become a household name.
First, if you haven't had a chance to read the Ocean Drive article on JR and Loren, the site below gives a great synopsis of the feature.
