Recruitment is an integral part of any MLM, but it doesn't need to be the focus. Whenever MLMs charge high startup fees, require high recruitment for a commission, do not provide sales training, or otherwise value recruitment over product, that's a clue that it is not a good MLM to join. Network marketing companies should rely on networks to sell products, instead of only recruiting your network.
Skills – There are certain technical skills you need for whatever industry you are a part of, so it's important to develop those skills. Although, they are a small fraction of what your success will be predicated on. You must eventually learn to outsource the things that make the most sense to outsource, so that you can work on the business versus in the business.
Appreciate the hard work studying this… Im apart of the #1 company on there Advocare… have been for 7 years and one of the higher paid single guys in the nation… I just have to disagree with "over priced Products" comment. There is a mark up on every product in the world… Our products actually work which is why those endorsers you mentioned turn down high level incomes with other companies to endorse us for a stipend of products per month. Advocare has numerous people making a great profit and even more just enjoying a product they would pay double what they do for to feel the way they do. Success rate isnt low my friend… Its just the quit rate is through the roof. Highly recommend everyone seeing this and you sir to watch "Rise of the Entrepreneur" by Eric Worre on Itunes to get some serious facts about the MLM industry. Thanks for all the research and blessings!
If you want quick leads to your business opportunity as of yesterday, why not send a quick request. You just need to visit the members list, choose target members and send them a message. Remember, you can categorized members according to their countries of origin. So you can go for Australian, UK, USA … business opportunity leads without having to sift through hundreds of countries that you are not interested in.
This eco-friendly MLM is seriously committed: their headquarters are operated with wind power. They're pretty future-facing in general, having implemented an innovative social marketing strategy amongst their reps. No one likes to be harassed on Facebook, but Modere's social media plan is still 10 times more effective than holding home parties (kill me).
(May 2017 update: did this go under?) The sign up cost will make you do a triple take (almost four figures), but you get to set your own retail price on every product you sell. If you've got the skills to make people cough up the cash for their products (which, btw, are pretty legit), you could definitely make that money back. They've also been winning plenty of awards (even a growth award from the Direct Selling Association themselves).
If you think you are too busy to get genuine or laser targeted leads. Think it twice what was the reason to setup this business? You as a distributor should take the responsibility for your business to get more reps to build down line. You took this decision to become successful and achieve financial freedom, to owe it the work done that should be done is much more important than your personal reasons or excuses whatever it may be. Simply hoping won't work in MLM, you should entice serious laser targeted leads which are interested in doing business under you to build your down line. It's not difficult to get them as long as you are constantly working. You are yet to face many rejections in this journey; few times you might feel low and doubt whether MLM is Scam? Nothing is terrifying than losing the track what you have dreamed for.
People who wonder why network marketing doesn't work have likely also never joined the best MLM for them at the time or had great upline support and a team around them to get through the often frustrating first few months. Opportunities abound – even publicly traded multi-level marketing companies, who you would think are these huge businesses that give you no attention, have small teams and wonderful leaders to join. It's just a matter of finding the top teams in the company you're looking at.
Your very own leads administration panel, so that you can access your mlm leads online from any location, any time. You have the ability to pause your mlm leads, set a max leads per day and adjust later if you wish, update billing information, order more mlm leads, export leads to your computer via csv or excel, and much more.

It was not until August 23, 2005 that the State Council promulgated rules that dealt specifically with direct sale operation- Administration of Direct Sales (entered into effect on 1 December 2005) and the Regulations for the Prohibition of chuanxiao (entered into effect on 1 November 2005). When direct selling is allowed, it will only be permitted under the most stringent requirements, in order to ensure the operations are not pyramid schemes, MLM, or fly-by-night operations.
I appreciate this comment. I'm a doTERRA gal. When I signed up I said I'd never sell. I just wanted to buy and use the oils. Then because of my love for them, people started coming to me for education and asking where they could get oils. So now I sell them. I'm not a sales person. I can't bug my friends about stuff. But I'm growing this business because I truly believe in the products and use them every single day. I may not ever become rich from this and that's OK with me. I won't consider it a failure. Every person I help is a success in my book!
Our training: We offer live dials training calls weekly. We actually call our own leads and prospect like were a distributor looking for new reps. We usually have hundreds of people on our conference call, they are muted and are able to listen as we discuss the various options with the prospect. Every one of these calls are slightly different and after every time there is a call made we do an analysis of the response and break down the elements of the call. This is what training is about! Imagine listening to this live this is not theory but it's real training. The best of all, these calls are absolutely free to our customers and our future customers.
The main website a lot of people use when they are online is social media. These websites are where you can sit there and talk to anyone around the world that you know, and chances are that most people you know have an account on these kinds of things. You'll want to make sure you do some looking into making a business account, because marketing through your personal profile may not do so well for you. Social media sites are free to use, but they also have ways you can pay for ads that go out to people.

MLM itself is a legitimate business strategy. However the subject of ethics can be rather vulnerable. The pyramid scheme, unlike MLM, is clearly a scam. In a pyramid structure, a member pays a fee to join. A portion of the money will then be remitted back to them when they bring a new member into the scheme. No products are involved in this scheme, simply get more people to dump in money for your chance to make more money.
Yes, you might want to learn the overview of it so you're knowledgable and understand how your checks are getting formulated, but I've met too many successful networkers who can't explain comp plans to spend any real time on them. When people ask questions, I refer them to the documentation that's available and ask them if they're ready to start a business they can work from home – even online in most cases.
In a similar fashion, when you eliminate money from the network marketing industry, a new perspective emerges. Personally speaking, I love talking with people who are in this industry because they are always reading, posting, and sharing something inspirational. They have goals, a dream board, and are generally using the products that they are selling to improve the way they look and feel.
MLM salespeople are not employees of the MLM company. Participants do not derive a salary/wage, nor do participants receive remuneration from the MLM company for their invested labor and expenses in their MLM "independent business". The income of participants, if any income is made at all, is derived only from commissions on their personal sales or their share of the commissions on the personal sales of their downlines (the MLM compensation structure).

There are a few ways to use LinkedIn lead generation as an effective marketing tool. One way that people don't often think of is participating in LinkedIn answers. There is a section on LinkedIn where people ask industry-specific questions and get advice. As an industry insider, you have the knowledge that can help people with these questions. Through participating in a regular dialogue of advice-giving, you can establish yourself as a thought leader. Moreover, you can optimize use of this tool by pointing people to your online blog that gives more information about the subject. Make sure to send them to a blog with a call to action at the end!
I recently spoke with San Diego based, Vicki Martin, about her experience with Rodan + Fields. Here's her take on her home business and why the opportunity was so appealing for her and her family, "The decision to join Rodan + Fields Dermatologists came easily. Since 2008 the construction industry [which I was previously in] has been hit hard by our economic downturn and my income has been greatly affected. We were working harder for less like many of our friends. Being part of Rodan + Fields Dermatologists is allowing me to work with highly educated people who share a passion for business and for teamwork. Building a recurring, residual income that grows month over month is going to give my husband and I the peace of mind and financial freedom that is so vitally important to our future. My skin looks better than ever. And, I get to work my job around the rest of my life instead of the other way around."
OK here is the difference Steve. If you quit any of these MLM companies for a whole year, Continue buying product but help no one set up a shopping account, even 2 years, will you continue to get paid by the company? So Steve, as a Director with Melaleuca you helped 8 people total set up a shopping account. There is no Direct or multilevel sales in that, and if they shop you earn commission on their shopping. You will not know what they shop for and thats ok cause its private. Melaleuca is a Consumer direct Manufacturer that sells to the public the products that THEY THEMSELVES make. So by your standards then …Proctor and Gamble is an MLM also. Oh and yes, I took over a year off of inviting people to see what Melaleuca was, and still received my residual check every single month. It is against company policy to sell Melaleuca products.
I joined in the mid-90's under a Dr that paid my way. We were somewhere in Paul Orberson's dowline, below an AR kid making $80K+/month. I didn't actually sign anyone as a rep, and just enjoyed doing the pitch to the crowd in the hotels, restaurants, and eventually auditoriums. I got paid by the Dr to tell the "long distance" story, and he went all the way to there top tier in under a year.
Although emphasis is always made on the potential of success and the positive life change that "might" or "could" (not "will" or "can") result, it is only in otherwise difficult to find disclosure statements (or at the very least, difficult to read and interpret disclosure statements), that MLM participants are given fine print disclaimers that they as participants should not rely on the earning results of other participants in the highest levels of the MLM participant pyramid as an indication of what they should expect to earn. MLMs very rarely emphasize the extreme likelihood of failure, or the extreme likelihood of financial loss, from participation in MLM. MLMs are also seldom forthcoming about the fact that any significant success of the few individuals at the top of the MLM participant pyramid is in fact dependant on the continued financial loss and failure of all other participants below them in the MLM pyramid.

Market America is just as known for their massive discounted products portal as they are for their crazy rich CEOs. I'm talking Forbes list, mansion in Biscayne Bay and penthouse in Manhattan, celeb bffs, and giant yachts rich…all thanks to MLM. They've hit their fair share of SEC-shaped road blocks, but Market America is still going strong at #29 on the DSN Global 100.
Plexus Worlwide is ranked by Inc. magazine as #8 (in 2014) and #132 (in 2015) fastest growing privately held company with a three year growth of 2833%; all while offering a 60-day money back guarantee on all its products – which means the products work. And at a consumer friendly price point. 40% of all sales are from customers and not ambassadors.
I agree with you that much of the industry is flawed, but what about an MLM that has a service rather than a product such as electricity. It's not like that could go out of style or that once you buy it you don't need it again or that your monthly supply is too much and you're going to stop the monthly subscriptions. I can honestly say that I cannot stand most MLM companies because regardless what you believe or how much you like the product, if you have to try to convince someone else to use it then inevitably the system is flawed and eventually your residuals will dry up. Electricity though, that's different in my opinion, no one has to convince me to use it, it just comes by default. Find me an MLM that is not selling so much as showing someone an alternative to what they already have to pay and I'd be interested.
Thank you for your article. I am also with doterra and I never in my life thought I would do something like this. The reason I started was because of health issues that led me to the oils. I have been an RN for 23 years and I feel more free and excited to share about health than ever. If you are going into something to get rich quick, I think that is the wrong attitude. I think most of my fellow doterra wellness advocates, have come to the same realization as me. I believe most of us started out trying to help ourselves and our families. I left my nursing job of 17 years in Feb, not because I am making enough money to replace my past income, but because I truly love helping others and I love the company and what it stands for. I can't argue about MLM's because I truly don't care about that side of it. Maybe I am wrong to think that way. I hope that this ride doesn't end anytime soon because the difference that doterra is making in my life, and the lives of those around me, is amazing. Thank you again for your information and your viewpoint.
For full disclosure, I want to point out that I am not affiliated with any multi-level marketing or direct sales companies, and that I don't receive any compensation from the industry for my opinion on it. I'm sharing this with you because after I wrote what is considered the most widely read, copied, and quoted MLM article in the history of the industry, I was accused of writing it to promote my own MLM business or the industry in general, which is not the case.
Getting leads is just one step in the sales cycle. Next, you need to qualify them to determine if they're a good fit, then make your pitch, and finally, follow up. Many network marketers don't like the sales process, but it doesn't have to be hard or scary, especially if you start with leads who've come to you specifically to know about what you offer.
People who wonder why network marketing doesn't work have likely also never joined the best MLM for them at the time or had great upline support and a team around them to get through the often frustrating first few months. Opportunities abound – even publicly traded multi-level marketing companies, who you would think are these huge businesses that give you no attention, have small teams and wonderful leaders to join. It's just a matter of finding the top teams in the company you're looking at.

Both are nice wide angles for the Fuji system.
On the wide end the 2mm can make a difference. But shooting wide open I hear the Fuji is a bit sharper tho the Touit is even just one stop down.
Will be shooting some wide open but stopped down a bit most of the time.
Any specific reasons to choose one over the other?

Not just a kid's movie
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

More stories from Allison Yoder

"Finding Nemo" is a beloved movie that has become a Disney classic. When news hit that there was going to be a sequel to "Finding Nemo," the movie "Finding Dory" sparked plenty of interest, but still quite a diverse reaction.
The movie include original characters such as Dory, Marlin, Nemo, Crush and Squirt, along with plenty of fresh faces of new characters. The story follows Dory as just a small fish, and gives background on her short term memory loss. It explains how she is separated from her parents, then, after meeting Nemo and Marlin, how she slowly begins to remember bits of her past. The plot begins to thicken with Dory trying to find her parents, getting captured and put into quarantine, and then her adventure with new friends to escape.
I was extremely excited about going to see another movie like the one I already have fond memories of, and that included the group of people who were also excited.
"'Finding Dory' was great. I loved how it gave me a new piece of my childhood to experience now," said Claire Kocot, 10.
When the movie was released, it was incredible how it compared to the first film. It was rated 7.7 on Rotten Tomatoes, and there was a fresh rating of 94%. Overall, this film was a total success, and Pixar truly fulfilled the attempt to live up to the expectation that it created with "Finding Nemo" in "Finding Dory."
While most people and critics appeared to like this film, some believe this movie was a waste of time and money.
"The entire movie was mostly flashbacks, and those flashbacks weren't worth it. It was overall a disappointment," said Jaci Dean, 9.
I, on the other hand, believe this was such a good idea to make a sequel to such a fantastic movie in the first place. It has definitely introduced a new generation of children to an exciting adventure with a cherished crew of aquatic creatures.

This year the XIX Edition of the Golf Tournament Nevacam-Cuervo y Sobrinos took place with the Swiss Brand with Latin Soul, Cuervo y Sobrinos,
as the main sponsor of the event. The tournament was held in the newly renovated Norba Golf Club of Cáceres with more than 100 participants.
The modality of the tournament was Stableford Individual, beginning at 9 in the morning. It coincided with the reopening of the golf course after the renewal
of the entire grass and the irrigation system. The 120 participants were able to enjoy Buggie Bar service during the tournament with drinks, fresh fruit and sandwiches.
At the end of the tournament, players and family were invited to a cocktail while the awards ceremony was being held.
The winner of the first category was Francisco Borja López and second winner was Pedro Rodríguez Carrasco.
In addition, a watch was raffled among all participants, the Manjuari model from the Robusto collection.
Cuervo y Sobrinos once again reaffirms its Latin origins through culture, solidarity and highlighting its values of elegance, style and tradition.

There are many issues in telecommunications. A lot of them relate to organisation. We have quite a traditional, hierarchical organisation and we're trying to implement the technology of the 1990s. This technology requires a different kind of work culture and standards. Our organisation needs to be given flexibility and autonomy.
Secondly, we've consistently looked for technology outside. If we got a loan from Japan, we bought Japanese products. If we got a loan from Sweden, we bought Swedish products. The result has been a lack of standardisation - too many kinds of equipment, requiring a variety of spare parts.
Spares have to be common - and available 20 years from now. When you constantly import technology, you don't have a bank in the country for these parts. You can buy from one supplier, but they'll be making equipment for the world market, not to your specifications. If bells and whistles are required to be competitive in the market, they'll put bells and whistles - and you wind up paying for them.
The third issue is that technology has suddenly changed from analogue to digital, but you've not been able to train manpower in the new know how. Then, we've not had enough investment in technology. We never will have enough.
The issue is: with what we have, are we doing the best in terms of productivity, cost reduction and maintenance? No, we have not done as well as we should have. By world standards, our costs are too high. We have too many people to maintain telephones. All of this will have to change.
Also, we've concentrated on increasing telephone density (number of telephones per 100 people). The West says that our country is poor because of our gross national product and telephone density. However, countries like India and China can never increase density significantly. We have four million telephones for 800 million people.
Increase this to 40 million telephones, and have you really increased density? The solution: more accessibility or more public telephones. A country of 800 million has 40,000 public phones. Something is wrong here.
How will we solve these problems? I've identified 50 things to be done at my level, and can't talk about them now. But take one example, C-DOT has a hotline to Bangalore. Some law says that I can't switch that line through a PABX.
You need a separate phone for a hotline. If I want to call Bangalore, I can't call from my room (because my phone is linked with the PABX), but have to go to the hotline. You can change the law. Companies will benefit, because they will be able to talk to anybody, anywhere from any phone in the office.
As for finances, we can reduce costs; issue bonds and go to the public for funds; and privatise. Why should we be in the coin telephone business? Let some fellow maintain 500 telephones and collect the coins. We also need to privatise our equipment industry. We've already done this: PABX is in private hands, a lot of the transmission equipment is in the joint sector.
Only the production of large systems is with Indian Telephone Industries. As we go further, we will privatise more and more of the equipment industry. But we're not going to think of privatising services till we have a viable national network. Today, 250 of our 480 districts are not connected by subscriber trunk dialling. There's no sense in getting a fancy phone if you can't get a dial tone.

Lemon water detox methods have reached a zenith with this thirst-quenching diet recipe. For those that love sugary drinks, this tasty blend can permanently replace sodas and fruit juices. The mint is uniquely calming for all possible tummy woes; simultaneously, the lemons provide the maximum amount of internal cleansing. This vibrant potion will even appeal to those who don't typically consume water on its own. The tingling refreshment is hard to surpass on any scale. Huge quantities of advantageous electrolytes are naturally embedded in the citrus fluids, and the chilly mint undertones in this recipe will cool off the entire beverage.
Lower belly fat consists of two kinds of fat: visceral fat and subcutaneous fat. Visceral fat lies deep inside your abdomen, packed around the internal organs. It pushes out on the subcutaneous fat, which is just under the skin around your torso, hips, thighs and arms. Visceral fat is more dangerous, secreting hormones and compounds that raise your risk of disease, including some cancers, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. As visceral fat makes your midsection expand outward, the subcutaneous fat there can sometimes droop from the weight into the lower region of your belly.
Apple cider vinegar is a natural product. This is because it contains organic acids and enzymes. Research shows that it results in weight loss but it is gradual. But the good news is the effect is permanent. If you were looking for immediate weight loss, this may not be for you. The results are slow but steady. Apple Cider Vinegar will balance your body's PH level. And when your PH level is balanced or alkaline, your body's metabolism will start working properly...allowing you to lose weight.
Parsley has many, many health benefits, including reducing effects of diarrhoea, improving digestion, regulating the menstrual cycle and increasing the rate of urination, which means that more matter is expelled from the body, including more calories and thus reducing weight loss. The diuretic aspect of parsley juice also means that it detoxifies the body faster than other drinks, and acts as an appetite suppressant making you feel fuller than you are.
To reduce visceral fat and potentially increase lean muscle mass, add 30 minutes of moderate physical activity to your daily routine on most days of the week. Moderate exercise can include aerobic activity (such as walking) and strength training with weights. Combining a more balanced diet with a regular exercise routine can accelerate the loss of belly fat and improve other cardiometabolic risk factors. Adding more whole fruits and vegetables and minimizing sugar intake from processed foods are effective diet modifications for reducing dangerous fat around the organs. Additionally, quitting smoking, getting more than 5 hours of sleep per night, and managing mental stress have all been proven to reduce the accumulation of belly fat in men.
I have to admit I am really dubious about "targeting" fat loss. Yes you can tone certain parts of your body with specific types of exercise, but fat loss is a completely different thing. As far as my experience goes, if you eat healthily for fat loss, the fat comes off in its own order… not exactly where you want. It's just where ever your body naturally decides. Eventually of course it will come off your tummy and love handles, you may be lucky and they are the first things to go. It you might have to be patient and wait…
Aloe vera is used both for wellness and beauty. The plant has an array of health benefits from improving constipation to strengthening immunity. One of the best things about the plant is it is helpful in detoxifying and cleansing the body due to its antioxidants and polysaccharides. The intake of aloe vera juice will increase your metabolism rate and help in burning calories faster [33] .
When a gal wants guys to notice her figure, she turns to this water detox for the fastest results. There are very few calories in the drink, and most of them stem from easily integrated carbohydrates. The lemons calm the stomach during periods of dietary emptiness, and it is possible to watch the pounds fade in a matter of days. This beverage is great for satisfying sweet-and-sour cravings. There are tons of noticeable age reversing effects, and they start appearing within the first month. As always, stricter diet adherence equals sexier results. It's time to gulp down mommy's little helper!
Unless you hit the genetic jackpot, the chances are that your tummy isn't immune to showing its fat gains. Something interesting is that there are different kinds of belly fat, and they all require different techniques for shedding it. Belly fat isn't merely an issue of appearance. Sure, it looks and feels nice to have a shredded tummy, but more important are the health implications.

After taking a short break in December, the monthly roundup is BACK!
So here are 10 tracks Scottish releases that have been getting the SAMA's team through January!
Save the playlist, turn it up, and enjoy!
Acrylic - I've Got Too Many Friends
Andreas' brooding vocal paves the way for serenity amongst an otherwise turbulent situation, upon a dreamy instrumental soundscape the five-piece realise some things are perhaps too good to be true, a thoughtful offering from the Glasgow band packed with overwhelming heart.
Attic Lights - Louis
Celebrating new life amid this new year, comes a charming offering from the Glasgow four-piece, packed with an undeniably catchy chorus line and glistening guitar parts, a feel good track to beat those January blues! New album "Love in the Time of Shark Attacks" is out 25th January.
Broken Chanter - Wholesale
Taken from their upcoming LP, Wholesale is equal measures sincere in word and wildly melodic with its electric styling stark against silk vocal tones. With a full length release on the horizon, sold out shows, and Kid Canaverel's David MacGregor at the helm, a rollercoaster of emotions is guaranteed! Listen here.
C Duncan - Impossible
The multi-instrumentalist returns with the harmonious vibrancy of Impossible taken from his third record due for release on FatCat Records in March. The vulnerability behind the lyrics, of which chart the difficulties of a long distance relationship, are masked by a layered funk-driven beat and ethereal vocal styling. Catch C Duncan an the upcoming SAMA's Paisley Takeover this March, more information here.
Charlotte Black - Los Angeles
Los Angeles see's Charlotte dream of an escape to bright lights, which seems all too relatable backed against Scottish January gloom. Pop stylings against a calming vocal make this a match made in heaven.
CRYSTAL - Sex Rich
After breaking out in 2018 with their brand of scuzzy indie rock, CRYSTAL are set for even bigger things this year. Having just supported Walt Disco as part of King Tut's New Year's Revolution, the quarter have dropped this untouchable new track Sex Rich. A furious spark of gritty guitars and empowered vocals, Sex Rich is filled with energy.
Heavy Rapids - Going Down
Delivering fans another kick of punk rock, Glasgow four-piece Heavy Rapids ignite Going Down with a demand of attention. With a track that sits under 3 minutes long, the band manage to pack their new single with such visceral energy. Catch them headlining Sneaky Pete's with Public Practise on February 2nd.
Nova Scotia the Truth - Mortal Girl (feat. Theta)
DJ, Producer and rapper Nova Scotia the Truth brings harsh samples to a solid beat in Mortal Girl. Her flow weaves through the beat as she spits words to rile and spite. Featuring vocalist Theta on the hook, the track culminates in a string section to bring it to an end. With production coming from Demonize on this track, her new EP Risin' Up will also feature production from Mumbla.
The Twilight Sad - The Arbor
The long awaited follow-up to Nobody Wants to Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave, The Twilight Sad have returned with some of their best material to date. The Arbor features a daunting bass line, laying under the the sparkling guitar and James Graham's impassioned vocals. Bringing in a new era for the band, one that sees them selling out Glasgow's Barrowlands and supporting The Cure at Bellahouston Park, this band will mean everything in 2019.
VanIves - Pyramids
A dense wash of synths that you can slow dance to is what Vanlves bring to the table with new single 'Pyramids'. As heartbreaking as they are soulful singer Stuart Ramage's vocals are cushioned by the laid back drum beat that holds the song down. Creating such stunning soundscapes throughout this new single, the duo evoke so many emotions. VanIves launch their new EP 'Let The Current Find Us' with a show at Glasgow's CCA.

What a wonderful way to start my day! Gorgeous George and Ree-Ree for my Morning Soul. Thank you!
I actually like Gym Class Heroe's ecletic blend of music.
I have just about Diddy'ed out! He needs to sit down somewhere.
Gym Class Heroes music is fine in theory. It's their blatant colorism that I find a little disturbing.
Solange is killing it.
I admire Diddy's business acumen. A lot of people may dislike him, but this man is a genius at marketing himself and his brand.
Bey? *sigh* Say it aint so. *praying Jay z impregnates her so I can have at least one mo year to myself*

Please Note: This series is written as a TV drama in screenplay format, like a play.
These eScripts are formatted as reading scripts to familiarize space-advocates with screenplays in the hope of fostering near-term, realistic, science-fiction for the mass medium of 'television'. Standard contemporary screenplay format still includes "INT." or "EXT." at the start of scene headings (indicating 'exterior' or 'interior'). Since this should be obvious, such soon to be archaic headings are omitted. Often dialogue starts without even action description. Finally, characters are introduced without ALL CAPS typical in standard shooting scripts and reflect the diversity of America: http://homeonmars.factualfiction.com/p/characters.html.
Storytelling will improve as episodes are written throughout the year. Ten episodes per season will be compiled into annual anthologies. Please participate in the improvement of this series. Suggest changes by providing feedback to the author via twitter @oceanbluesky. (And ensure you are able to receive free updates by turning on 'Automatic Book Update' under the 'Settings' tab here: https://www.amazon.com/mycd )

Thousands rally in Trenton for new immigration rightsPosted: Updated:
(03/20/06) TRENTON ? More than a thousand people rallied at the state Capitol in Trenton Monday in opposition of a bill that would make illegal immigration a felony in the U.S.
Protesters called for a bill to give more opportunities for illegal immigrants to gain legal status. Bill opponents at the rally say many illegal immigrants just want to become contributing members of society in America.
Opponents from New Jersey Citizens for Immigration Control say the protesters are lawbreakers and tax-evaders who threaten domestic security.

A Gen-Z Good News Story
Gen-Z Employment
Posted 28/04/17
Another week has gone by in the TtW world and we're glad to announce another good news story with you.
This week, one of our great young men from Southport, overcame multiple obstacles that were restricting him from finding a job and a career path.
This young man has been with us for a short time and had expressed his struggles in getting through the application stage of job search, due to his limited options for public transport and no previous work experience. Our YDC's reinforced the attitude that everyone has to start somewhere, so let's get to work!
First, we engaged him in some workshops that would benefit his interview skills, communication skills, and social skills. The participant actively engaged in our workshops; i:Work, and i:Life, which gave him the direction to map out his skills and strengths. He then completed a 'My Career Match' Quiz which helped him decide which avenue he would like to start with.
The next step was working towards his driving hours with our Queensland Police Citizens Youth Club collaborated workshop, Braking the Cycle. This program that allows young people to have driving lessons with a volunteer PCYC instructor in order to achieve 100 practical learning hours.
The impact these workshops had on this young person were evident after only a few months. His confidence had increased, interview skills were well practiced, and he landed a great full time job. Achieving this goal allowed him to complete his driving hours. After saving up his wages, he successfully completed his driving exam and received his licence. Soon after, our young participant was buying his first car, all due to his own hard work and determination.
We are thrilled to share this good news story with you, and we are exceptionally proud of this young person for breaking down barriers and achieving his goals.

@flyingcat88: Being the only survivor of a whole world that was destroyed along with your parents and being all super, can't even have your own identity, etc.
But still, he can fly and shit.
So stop bitching, Superman.
@frogurtx: Watched it on Sundance on Demand with the wife on Friday. It was fantastic. Don't let your kids near Batman!
Was not expecting the above pictured Superman to begin a conversation with "There was this one time, when I was doing way to much crystal meth…"

3 Things Companies Should Prepare for under the Companies Bill
After my earlier introduction and summary of the new Companies Bill, I will be writing a series of articles on the new Companies Bill. I aim to release an article every few weeks or so, touching on the different areas of the new law. For ease of reference, I will continue to refer to it as the Companies Bill and insert the clause references in brackets.
I kick off this series by focusing on 3 things existing companies should already look out for under the Companies Bill. While the Companies Bill may only come into force in the next 6-12 months or so, I highlight 3 areas companies should start preparing for right now.
In summary, these 3 areas are:
- Your existing Memorandum and Articles of Association: Do you need to fine-tune the provisions?
- The new law will shift to a no-par value regime: Impact on your existing share premium account.
- Putting in place checklists and guidelines for the new internal processes.
Appearance on Bloomberg TV: Suits meets The Newsroom
Bloomberg Malaysia came across my earlier TML post on the Companies Bill and invited me on their show to have a short chat. I was a bit nervous leading up to it, with it being my first TV interview. But I am glad I got to share my views on the new Bill.
I spoke about how the new laws would transform the corporate landscape, spur entrepreneurship and also strengthen corporate governance.
That whole experience felt a bit like Suits meets The Newsroom. A lawyer getting a small glimpse into the inner workings of a news studio.
Bloomberg has also uploaded the clip on their YouTube channel and you can view it below.
Malaysia's Companies Bill Passed: The 7 Upcoming Changes
Parliament passed the Companies Bill 2015 this evening. It was first tabled for Second Reading on Thursday 31 March 2016 and Parliament continued and concluded its debate on 4 April 2016.
[update: The Bill has received Royal Assent on 31 August 2016 and has been gazetted on 15 September 2016 as the Companies Act 2016. I have written briefly about this in my latest post.]
Upcoming Changes
I had previously written on some of the upcoming changes, especially on the challenges that directors may face and I was also featured on The Edge TV.
The new Companies Act will undoubtedly transform Malaysia's corporate landscape. Underpinning the changes are the aims of spurring entrepreneurship, making the corporate vehicle more attractive for businesses, deregulating certain aspects of the corporate process, and to introduce the concept of corporate rescue for ailing companies.
It is anticipated that the new Companies Act itself will not be brought into force until a year's time or so. This is because the new regulations, rules and guidelines will still need to be drawn up.
I set out below 7 of the more significant areas we will see in the new Companies Act. Continue reading
Choosing the right business vehicle for your startup or small business in Malaysia
This post is a part of a series based on my Law for Startups workshop at MaGIC in September 2015. It's a basic introduction to legalities for startup founders. You can access the slides here.
Read the earlier posts for context:
- Law for startups in Malaysia — building on the best foundations.
- The legal landscape in Malaysia for startups — a hybrid of traditional corporate practices and Silicon Valley models.
One of the earliest decisions that a startup or small business founder will have to make is choosing the right business vehicle through which the business/idea will be carried out.
Business vehicle options
The most common business vehicle options in Malaysia are —
- sole proprietorships / partnerships;
- private limited liability companies (Companies / Sdn Bhd); and
- most recently, the limited liability partnership (LLP).

Indias cosmetics market is reportedly growing at 15-20% annually. Demand for skin whitening products by men as well as women, is driving the trend, but other beauty products are not far behind.Written by Lovejeet Alexander, Special Correspondent The Indian cosmetics industry has witnessed rapid growth over the last couple of decades. With every passing year, the range of cosmetic and beauty products in India has widened tremendously. Beauty product manufacturers in India have mostly been catering to the great demand for cosmetics and toiletries that fall into the low- or medium-priced categories as the greatest demand in India always revolves around economically priced products. Recent cosmetics business market analysis reveals that many international companies are now outsourcing cosmetics to India and that the cosmetics market in India is growing at 15-20% annually, twice as fast as that of the U. S. and European markets. The growth rate in the cosmetics market reflects increasing demand for beauty care products in India. However, even with the massive surge in the popularity of cosmetic products, statistics show that the average Indian consumer spends much less on cosmetic products than consumers in any other part of the world. This also implies that the Indian cosmetic industry has an even greater potential for growth than it is currently experiencing. Asia Overview The Japanese cosmetics market is still the largest Asian buyer, but the growth rate is reaching a stable condition. China, the second largest in Asia Pacific, is witnessing increased demand due to improving lifestyles and rising disposable income of the population. The South Korean market is growing at a faster rate than developed regions. There is a clear trend of the market heading toward premium cosmetic products. The younger populace is looking for general skin care and hair care products while the older generation has more specific needs for their cosmetics products. Global cosmetic giants are attracted to Indias favorable demographics. The modern, urban Indian women are becoming increasingly conscious about their style and looks, with great emphasis on lightening of skin tone. Skin care and color cosmetics have witnessed solid growth for the last few years, with more than half of the skin care market comprising skin lightening creams. Lip products form a majority of the color cosmetics market. In India, small pack sizes are very popular as they offer a lower cost and the chance to try new products.
Hindustan Unilever is Indias largest cosmetics company, followed by LOral. Indias Story Driven by growing consumption in rural and semi-urban areas, the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) market is set to double from $14.7 billion in 2008-09 to $30 billion in 2012, according to a report by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM), an industry lobby. The FMCG sector will witness more than fifty percent growth in rural and semi-urban India by 2010, according to a study titled Prospects in the FMCG sector, recently made public by ASSOCHAM. The Indian FMCG sector has grown to become the fourth largest sector in the economy with a market size in excess of $14.7 billion. Skin care and cosmetics account for more than Rs.18.5-billion market size while the hair care market is worth more than Rs.80 billion. Among the entire range of products that fall within the territory of the Indian cosmetic and toiletries market, the most popular items are color cosmetics, of which nail varnish, lipsticks and lipglosses account for the most sales. In this area, popular local brand names include Lakme and Revlon. Skin care cosmetics experienced a relatively slower growth, and products such as anti-wrinkle creams, cleansers and toners, for instance, are not as popular as facial creams, moisturizers and fairness creams in this genre. Companies like Ponds and Fair & Lovely rule the roost in this segment. Male Grooming Half a decade ago, when celebrated Indian film actor Shah Rukh Khan took a dip in a bathtub to endorse Lux, he did much more than just promote a soap brand. He set a precedent. Back then, the male grooming market was almost nonexistent and the Indian market had few dedicated products to offer men. Soon after Khans commercial, Emami Group entered the mens fairness cream market. Market talk was that a noticeable proportion of sales of Fair & Lovely, a womens cream, were from men. Emami decided to push the opportunity. In 2005, Emami created history by launching Fair And Handsome, a fairness cream for men, which still dominates the space with close to 70% market share. The company calls this brand the worlds No. 1 fairness cream. The company achieved sales of $13 million in 2008-09. In 2007, Hindustan Unilever launched Fair & Lovely Menz Active but it could not gather much share. Over the past year, multinationals such as Beiersdorf (Nivea for Men) and LOral (Garnier PowerLight) launched a series of products for mens skin care. The market was soon offering male fairness creams, hair care products beyond dyes, scrubs and face washes. Today, the male grooming segment in personal care is ready for its next round of product expansions and additions. Now, as the segment evolves, there is a queue of Bollywood actors including Shahid Kapoor and John Abraham who are endorsing male grooming products. The mens personal care segment is estimated at over $200 million, with Gillette having the largest market share. While the overall cosmetics industry is growing at 15% year-on-year, fairness creams constitute a huge market with sales worth nearly Rs.2,000 crore (Nielsen 2010 figures). Of this, mens fairness creams account for 10%, though growing at 30% year-on-yeara sign that they are catching on. According to a Nielsen survey on male grooming, conducted among 1,000 men in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad, every second man has a monthly date with a salon. The importance of male grooming is clear, with the market worth Rs.695 crore and growing at 11 percent. In metros alone, it is growing at 12 percent. The product segments witnessing significant growth include creams, gels, and deodorants. More beauty products targeting men are bound to appear. Increasing disposable incomes, urbanization and greater exposure to the West are the main drivers, says Anand Ramanathan, analyst, KPMG.
In the personal care category, skin care products are the most popular, offering significant room for growth. In India, fairness creams dominate the space with more than a 45% share, followed by moisturizers at 22%. Now, the market seems to be looking beyond fairness creams. Emami is poised to expand its Fair And Handsome brand to include products such as shaving cream and foam. In five years, Fair And Handsome has become a Rs.100 crore brand, growing at 45% per annum and contributing 15% to Emamis revenues. The trend is shifting toward the mainstream and there are other brands entering the segment with extensive product launches in the fairness category, along with a number of product extensions, says Harsh Vardhan Agarwal, director, Emami. Hindustan Unilever is currently advertising Fair & Lovely MAX Fairness for Men. It has also extended its Vaseline brand to the mens grooming segment with the introduction of the Vaseline for Men skin care range, including fairness creams, face wash, body lotions and body washes. The popularity of fairness products saw Garnier launch its mens grooming range, Powerlight, in May 2009. Recently, it launched Garnier Color Naturals for Men and the Garnier Men range of deodorants. According to a recent study by Hindustan Unilever, men in Indias southern states are most enthusiastic users of skin whitening creams and consume the most of the fairness products, although the love for fair skin is spread evenly all across the country. Inspired by the changing grooming behavior of Indian men, in May 2009 we entered the mens grooming market with Garnier Men. Within three months, Garnier Men became the number two player in the mens skin care market, which is currently less than five percent of the total skin care market but growing fast. Within that, fairness comprises 85 percent, cleansing 10 percent, and body, sun care and hydration 1 percent each. The potential lies in converting male users of womens skin care products to products developed specifically for them, says Dinesh Dayal, chief operating officer, LOral India. Hair grooming and styling is the latest growth area. Brylcream, which scaled up its appeal though products and advertising featuring Indian skipper MS Dhoni, has company in the form of Maricos after-shower hair gel, Set Wet from Paras Pharma and the Gatsby brand. Zydus Cadila recently forayed into male skin care with EverYuth Menz, under which the company launched the first scrub for men in India. Besides the scrub, the Ever Yuth skin care range comprises face washes, sunblock and moisturizer for men. Future Group is also aiming to extend its John Miller brand into the male grooming segment, where it forayed with deodorants. Growth is coming not just from metros, but small towns, too, says Devendra Chawla, business head, private brands, Future Group. Foreign Fairness The Indian cosmetics market, which was traditionally a stronghold of a few major players like Lakme and Ponds, has seen a lot of foreign entrants to the market within the last two decades. India allows entry of imported cosmetics without any restrictions. Indias import of cosmetics and beauty products and intermediate raw materials such as essential oils is currently around $400 million. France, Germany, the UK and the U.S. have been the traditional suppliers with imports gradually increasing from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Israel in recent years. Imported cosmetics have had a major impact on the Indian market. The emergence of a young urban elite population with increasing disposable income in cities, an increase in the number of working women, changing lifestyles, increased affordability of lifestyle-oriented and luxury products, mounting aspirations, influx of satellite TV, increasing appetite for Western goods, and greater product choice and availability are the main drivers of demand for imported cosmetic
products. Indian consumers tend to look towards international brands as lifestyle enhancement products. Foreign products have enhanced growth of the Indian market by attracting aspirational consumers. Indians generally perceive foreign brands as being of superior quality. The strong growth of organized retail in India is also creating a demand for more imported cosmetics products, even in second tier cities, where disposable incomes are larger and the demand has been subdued due to desire for choices and options. According to industry sources, the total size of the Indian retail beauty and cosmetics market is currently estimated at $1.5 billion, with fragrance comprising the largest component. Color cosmetics account for 14%; fragrances, 21%; hair care, 19%; skin care, 17%; beauty services, 13%; herbal products, 9%; and others, 7%. If the overall beauty and wellness market is considered, which includes beauty services, the market is estimated to be around $2.68 billion. Packaging Strategy More and more shelves in shops and boutiques in India are stocked with cosmetics from around the world. Since the opening up of the Indian economy in the early 90s, many international brands like Avon, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Cartier, Christian Dior, Este Lauder, Elizabeth Arden, Lancme, Chambor, Coty, LOral, Oriflame, Revlon, Yardley, Wella, Schwarzkopf, Escada, Nina Ricci, Rochas, Yves St. Laurent, Tommy Hilfiger, Max Factor, Max Mara, and Shiseido have entered the Indian market. Pricing and packaging strategies are very important here, as India is a very price-sensitive market. Indian consumers want the best but many are not always willing to pay that liberally. Understanding the attitudes, preferences and aspirations of the different segments of Indias consuming class is very crucial to achieving success in the Indian market. Given the price-sensitivity of the Indian consumers, many cosmetic and toiletries companies had to re-launch their products in smaller pack sizes to make them more affordable. Hindustan Lever of the Unilever group and Revlon were the first to introduce small pack sizes. Revlon went to the extent of introducing a small-range of 8ml nail polishes and lipsticks, and was soon followed in its strategy by many Indian companies as well. Small pack sizes have proved to be very popular in the Indian market as they offer consumers a lower purchase cost that they can afford and, at the same time, the opportunity to try new products. The market is booming like never before. With the Indian middle class expected to increase tenfold to 583 million people by 2025, it looks as if things will only get brighter for the fair cream and other beauty and personal care manufacturers.
