Overwhelming Choices

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Arlina and I just started this exciting venture with Carbon Copy Pro and Wealth Masters International. This is a home based business where I can generate income working part time. Nice to meet you!

Guess why I picked this opportunity out of all the choices I had...come on..guess!
Because I could verify the claims that the company made. That was seriously my biggest obstacle. My husband's buddy showed me the AdWords campaign of a Carbon Copy Pro Consultant. He grabbed my laptop and said, "Check this out". I was floored. The number of times his site was viewed was in the low millions. That's right...MILLIONS.

Years ago, I had been an outside sales rep earning 100% commission, so of course I read all the sales books. Everything from Anthony Robbins to W. Clement Stone, to Robert Kiyosaki. What I knew FOR SURE is that it's a numbers game. This guy had the numbers!

Being the skeptical person I am, even I had to admit there was something undeniable about this business. It had number which translates into sales. BIG sales. For the next month I watched my husband's friend try it out. He signed up, bought some training materials, set up his Adwords, MSN, and Yahoo advertising accounts and we waited. And waited. It felt like *forever*, but 20 days running, his first sale popped! Yay! First commission was $1500! Today, he's at the 45 day mark and he's made back all his advertising, initial set up costs and rolled it right back in.

In the meantime, I decided to jump in. I verified it online, then for *real* real (in person) so I figured it was a calculated risk I was willing to make.

Wanna guess what day I'm on? Come on....LOL! I'm on day 5. My first sale popped, and this is no lie, in TWO hours of turning my Adwords on! Sounds great, right? Well, not so fast. The guy got cold feet and backed out on day 3. Yes it sucked, but I was impressed that he was treated fairly, and I was nice as well, just in case he wanted to come back later. This is not for everyone. You actually have to be willing to work...aaahhh...concept. Nothing comes from nothing. There is work to be done and it can be tricky.

So that's what I'm using this blog for. I will be documenting what I learn and sharing it with you. The good, the bad and the ugly. My hope is that once you see what I saw, and you feel that this is really real, you'll jump in and come along for the ride to wealth! (Too cheesy?)

Thanks for hanging in there and I hope you check back often!
