Living Will, Estate Law,Legal Issues

A real home based Internet business has to comply with the same legal regulations as an Internet business from any other location. Here are the basic legal issues with which a real home based Internet business owner must be familiar.

The first issue, and a real concern for any home based Internet business is the restriction based on age. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) follows the regulations spelled out in COPPA, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, and requires that children under the age of 13 cannot disclose their personal information unless a parent consents to it. Children under the age of 18 cannot be allowed to view adult content on the Internet, nor can they enter into any contract.

Real time occurrences on the Web, such as chats, must be controlled by the home based Internet business owner. Bulletin boards would have the same control issues. The rules of using each should solicit and retain the consent of each online user to refrain from posting pornography, defamatory material or anything that infringes on others’ rights. Your company should also clearly state on its site that you are not liable for other users that commit to following your policies and guidelines but subsequently violating them.

To make real your ownership of all property and content on your home based business Internet site you’ll need a copyright notice on the site’s footer. The notice should have the date and your name and the statement “All rights reserved.” A real copy of your home based business Internet site should be field with the U.S. copyright office. This will effectively record ownership of the contents of the site, as well as its look and its feel.

Your site’s domain name is an important part of the branding and marketing for your Internet business. It is best to tie that domain name as closely as possible to your logo, your brand and your business name. Carefully choose a domain name that clearly conveys the products or services of your real home based Internet business. Register your domain name as a trademark and you can retain ownership should it be challenged by another business.

If your site is on the World Wide Web then you must comply with export regulations. If you sell goods over the Internet to these global consumers then you are exporting items for sale and entering into international countries. If your site is encrypted then you are exporting to other countries U.S. Department of Commerce and Defense technology. There are many U.S. federal agencies that have regulations in force for doing business with other countries, and the times and circumstances that require a firm to get an export license to send information, technology or goods abroad.

There are countries with whom business transactions are limited severely for U.S. firms. These countries are Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria and Yugoslavia. The best decision about the real problems you might encounter for your home based Internet business doing business with these countries and/ or its residents should be made with your attorney.

Are you going to be onstage next year as a result of your Pre-Paid Legal business? How are you going to get there…. Read on for your roadmap to convention 2009.

As a fellow Pre-paid legal associate I have been to the Las Vegas Leadership Summit twice. Besides the inspirational stories and trainings there is also a time where they parade the top money earners in Pre-paid legal across the stage. At the last leadership summit I attended they handed out a million dollars in cash spread out over hundreds of fellow associates. How did these people have so much success in Pre-paid legal?

Pre-Paid Legal Services as you know teaches people to plug into a highly duplicatable system. Their system is designed to be easy to do. They train that anybody can do it and all you have to do is plug into their training and events. The events are VERY important to Pre-paid legal, if you want to be considered a core associate you have to go to all the events nationally and locally. Don’t get me wrong, the events and trainings are good and I made a lot of friends as a result, but as far as making MONEY, the training I was offered was not that effective. Here is what I mean…

The MINDSET of 99 percent of associates including myself, started a Pre-paid legal business to make MONEY and change our lives. I desired to have a part-time business that produced a full-time income. I needed MONEY.

That is the story of the vast majority of associates.

The roadmap to success that Pre-paid legal teaches is broken down into a few activities. They consist of making a list of your friends and family and following up with them using 3-way calls with your upline. I was also taught to get on autoship and hand out two DVD’s a day. How did I do this? Everyday at work, I would leave on my 1 hr. lunch break and go to my local mall and attempt to prospect and hand out business cards and DVD’s. I only had about 25 mins. to hand out 2 DVD’s and hopefully get a prospect to leave me their name and phone number.

Doing this wasn’t easy and took a lot of guts to get out there and prospect this way.

Next, I was taught the importance of promoting to events, setting PBR’s (Private Business Receptions) and inviting guests. I would invite as many prospects as I could to come out to the events as my guest. How many do you think attended? Not Many!

How many do you think watched my DVD or read my company’s magazine? Not Many! I remember hearing one of the top money earners in Pre-paid say that on average you have to get 10 DVD’s handed out in order to get one person to watch it.

This was very FRUSTRATING to me because I only had so much time and MARKETING the way I was trained was not bringing results like I had hoped.

I was spending more money than I was bringing in on autoship, weekly briefings, gas, auto, cell phone, business cards, etc. My ship was SINKING fast!

Finally, reluctantly I turned to the final training technique that Pre-paid legal teaches and that was to contact lead companies, buy business opportunity leads and start cold calling them. I started off slow but I faced my fears anyway and later became pretty efficient on the phone. However, I still could not recruit fast enough and the people who did join me in business would not DUPLICATE. I ended up spending HUNDREDS of dollars buying leads.

After a year and a half of activity and busting my butt working Pre-paid legals roadmap to success I was nowhere close to my financial goal.

I underwent a period of SOUL searching and decided I had to do things differently or close up shop.

I remember thinking why was it that all those people were able to march on stage and have success using Pre-paid legal’s roadmap? I also felt if I was working just as hard why wasn’t I having the same results?

The answer was simple and it all boiled down to the way I was MARKETING. The Pre-paid legal roadmap is UNTARGETED prospecting. It is based on numbers and the “let’s throw mud at the wall and see what sticks mentality.” Do you think other small businesses MARKET this way? Do you think not targeting your market is the right way to go? The answer of course is NO.

The roadmap that will take you to success in Pre-Paid legal much easier has always been inside you. It is building YOU,Inc. first before even mentioning Pre-paid legal to your prospects. It is in using technology like the Internet to brand yourself and attract people to YOU.

My roadmap to success in Pre-paid legal online is to first offer people a system and a coach (ME) that will TEACH and GUIDE them to learning how to use technology to attract prospects to them. I consult all of my prospects either through email or by phone and GAMEPLAN.

As the relationship builds I share the Pre-paid legal service and sell it to them. I want them to see the value. I don’t even mention the business opp. yet, I get a customer. It’s out of my customers that I get referrals and NOW I ask them if they would like to make money as well. Do you see the POWER in marketing this way?

Let your prospects try the service and get sold on it before offering your business opportunity. By now you have built TRUST, RESPECT, and REPOIRE. You are also in a perfect position to RECRUIT!.

This roadmap will guarantee multiple streams of income, cash in your pocket and highly targeted recruits into your Pre-paid legal business.

I look forward to seeing you all on stage at the next Pre-paid legal convention

If you are looking for a network marketing company that offers a unique service to it’s customers then you might want to take a look at Pre-paid legal services. Here’s why…

Pre-Paid legal services offers legal expense plans that give middle and lower class Americans access to the justice system. If you look at the legal system today you will find a broken system. There are millions of lawsuits filed everyday from divorce, child custody, civil suits, criminal suits, etc.

There is also a huge problem with identity theft nowadays. It is very easy for someone to commit drivers lisence fraud, social security fraud, and credit fraud.

Pre-Paid Legal Services is a 35 yr. old New York Stock Exchange company and was founded by Harland Stonecipher. They offer a wide range of legal plans. The most common plan is the expanded family plan. The plan covers you and your entire household for $26.00 a month. The expanded family plan is broken down into five titles of coverage.

1) Preventive Legal Services

2) Motor Vehicle Legal Expenses

3) Trial Defense Services

4) IRS audit services

5) Preferred Member Discount on any additional legal matter.

A special membership called the Legal shield is added on with the expanded family plan. It allows a customer to contact their attorney immediately if they are arrested or detained. It doesn’t matter if they are detained at two in the morning, they can contact their attorney.

As far as a network marketing opportunity you have a couple of things going for you. The legal industry is hard to get access to, most people can’t afford the high price of attorneys. Also, a majority of legal problems can be prevented if people have access to legal advise. Another advantage to their opportunity is it’s highly affordable for the average consumer. Your talking about a $26.00 or less monthly expense. Their memberships are not a hard sale to make if explained right.

I wouldn’t do this review justice if I didn’t mention the other popular membership that Pre-paid legal offers. It is the Identity theft shield.

Pre-paid legal partnered with Kroll Background of America a number of years ago. Kroll specializes in Identity theft and has allowed prepaid legal associates to market the Identity theft shield service.

For $12.95 a month or $9.95 a month added on to a Pre-paid legal membership customers have complete protection in regards to Identity theft. The service provides continuous credit monitoring and credit restoration. If a customers Identity is compromised they will be provided with an expert that will go to work to restore their name. The service provides 600 hours of the experts time with no additional charge.

Today, we know that Identity theft is one of the fastest growing white collar crimes in America. We also know that most people use credit or debit cards to pay for purchases. This provides a huge opportunity for associates to cash in and help consumers.

The compensation plan that Pre-paid legal offers is very generous. They pay out 1 yr advanced commissions on all their plans. For example, if an associate sells the expanded family plan for $26.00 + the Identity theft shield for $9.95 an associate will earn starting out $36.00 and it goes all the way to over $250.00 for marketing a $35.95 membership. Obviously I can’t explain the entire comp plan in detail in this article, that’s why I placed a link at the end for more information.

In closing, I want to mention the last benefit of the network marketing opportunity that Pre-paid legal provides and that is they PAY DAILY. When a membership is process they pay their associates the next business day.

I attempted to write a short overview of Pre-paid legal but now I want to talk specifically to the home business opportunity seeker. If you desire to learn how to be an ENTREPRENEUR and how to MARKET the Pre-paid legal service plans the easy way then you need to partner with leaders who can teach you how.
