No Longer Cash Gifting with Stephen Costabile

This post is to let you know that I’m no longer cash gifting with Steven Costabile’s program.
I was trusting enough to send the first gift, but when he refused to ad the promised tracking to my lead capture page, I stopped promoting.
Not allowing participants to track leads means he’s diverting them to his own page. I thought I had a different inviter when I first read about his program, but when it came time to gift, it was just his name.
Anyway, we all get taken now and then. Unlike some others, I wish Steven Costabile well. He is OK with what he is doing, and for a time, I was a vibrational match to his energy. Not anymore, but no one forced me into his program, and thankfully I only spent about $50 promoting my links before I realized he would never install tracking on my page.
I did put time into this blog, too, but we can’t change the past. I have found another program with checks and balances in place so that cheating isn’t possible, but I have not joined it. If I choose to I’ll post about it here.
So my advice is to steer clear of CashGiftGenerator and the dishonest Steven Costabile. I liked the idea of no fees, but ironically I lost $500 trying to save $20 or $30, a month, lol!
So as you look for a cash gifting program, don’t be afraid of reasonable monthly fees. It means there are checks and balances in place, and you won’t end up getting taken for a ride as I did with Costabile’s program. And start out small, just in case. Good luck!

The biggest part of cash gifting, network marketing or any other “out of the ordinary” activity is training your mind. Jim Rohn was a master at re-arranging your thinking so that you could believe you could do, and more importantly, be more. So the loss of Mr. Rohn impacts not just MLMer’s, but everyone interested in personal development. Rest in peace, Mr. Rohn.
Jim Rohn Was a Master at Helping People Change Their Thinking
It’s vital for success in any endeavor that you are able to reach outside of the box with your thoughts. This is so because the mind is creative. We are each creating our day to day realities with the thoughts that we think, and the by virtue of what we give our attention to.
We are basically creating life by default. And that’s where personal development or growth comes in. I loved to listed to Jim Rohn because he had such confidence and surity that when you put your mind to it, you can accomplish miracles. He is right.
What we are not so good at understanding yet thought is that we created everything we are living. Some people will say to that, “Nonsense! I would never create the way I am living right now!” And I agree. You wouldn’t do it on purpose, but you have done it by default.
Many people shut down right there. They refuse to believe that what they are living is their own creation. They shut down right before they get to the good part. If you created what you don’t want, you are still in the position of creator. And that means if you don’t like what you have, you, and only you, have the power to change it.
Do yourself a favor and listen to Jim Rohn, or one of the many other wonderful teachers out there, or even better, get your hands on The Abundance Course. you are not expected to know how to change your life without help. The teachers are there, waiting for us to appear:-)
That’s all for now.

Network Marketers Must Now – Gasp! – Tell The Truth!

Posted in Cash Gifting and Other Things... | No comments
I spent my morning not thinking about cash gifting, but reading about the new FTC guidelines and the impact they are having on MLMers. They can no longer give the big income claims like this one from the fictitious Randy:
“I made $35,902 in my first 90 days with this one-of-a-kind opportunity!”
Unless they also disclose exactly what the average person can expect to make in that same time period (per company stats) and the steps taken to get there.
For instance ‘Randy’ would need to disclose it if he had spent $10,000 on Google ads and tapped into his existing network of 2500 people to earn the $35,902 in 90 days, or whatever he actually did to make that unusually large amount in such a short time. Because that is an unusual amount, and most will never duplicate it, not just in 90 days, but never.
Network Marketers are Being Forced to Tell The Truth
But will they? I think most will try. But this is new so we’ll have to wait and see. Meanwhile, the best thing to do if you must involve yourself in MLM is to determine (before joining the company!) how many customers you will need to make the dollar amount you want each month. Or if recruiting is your thing, how many recruits. In other words, do your homework by knowing what you want before you join.
This is the exact opposite of what has been happening. Usually, the new person is accosted, er, approached by someone they know, shown the plan and they get all excited and join right away. This is bad because they most likely didn’t start that day wanting to go into business for themselves, and they have no clue what it takes to succeed in MLM (5 years and $5000 – or thereabouts).
And with the Internet, it has been even worse. You Google network marketing and up pop thousands and thousands of “opportunities” for you to choose from. Each one promising more money than the last. These guidelines will begin changing all of that. Hopefully this will stop a lot of potential victims, er, new reps who never make a dime, from getting started in the first place.
All that said, is it surprising that I prefer affiliate programs (my current favorite is a new way to buy and sell items via online auctions, with no final value fees – look out eBay!) and cash gifting? These days we all have many choices, and so we don’t have to go down the MLM road to nowhere (for 95% or so, anyway). We can make a different choice.
FTC Guidelines Changing Today – MLMers Need to Disclose Average Results

Today’s the day! The new FTC regulations went into effect at midnight and so I’ve added a Disclosure page to my cash gifting blog regarding links in my posts that are often affiliate links that have the potential to earn me commissions. It’s important to remember that the FTC doesn’t make laws, only guidelines. Still it’s having a widespread impact on the MLM industry.
I’m actually excited about these changes because it means that most of the enticements used by the network marketing industry like endorsements by heavy hitters or celebrities, will require full disclosure. Are they paying Ms. X to say what she is saying about their health product? Are the results of Mr. X Heavy typical? If not, what is the combined average of all reps, so Mr. Normal can know what he’s getting into, please?
Whenever I write about this, I like to include a definition of and some synonyms for, the word average, since this is about what you can expect when you get involved with MLM:
Definition of Average: normal, typical
Synonyms:
boilerplate, common, commonplace, customary, dime a dozen, everyday, fair, fair to middling, familiar, garden*, garden-variety, general, humdrum*, intermediate, mainstream, mediocre, medium, middle of the road, middling, moderate, nowhere, ordinary, passable, plastic, regular, run of the mill, so-so, standard, tolerable, undistinguished, unexceptional, usual
Hmmm….
What about cash gifting? Right here (link soon). No claims, no problems.
Warmest,

Cash Gifting Over the Holidays

When you are blogging, whether about cash gifting or anything else, it’s a good idea to post as often as possible. Once a day if you can but a minimum of 3 posts a week.
I always put my main keyword in the first sentence of each post, which also helps with SEO. I have some other tricks that I share only with those who are gifting with me and who ask. I wait to be asked because this new gifting program I am in allows anyone, regardless of their experience with Internet marketing, to do well.
This is so because once you join, we offer you a built-in marketing system that you just set-up via Google Adwords, fund and collect your gifts. If you don’t even want to do that much yourself, you can join the co-op and just make your payment each month based on the number of shares you want. A share determines how many unique visitors your website will receive each month.
You can do it without having to host your own website because they are included, no charge when you gift at the $500, $1500 or $3500 level. I have not found another cash gifting program that does this.
Why I Chose Cash Gifting Over MLM
We went to Vermont for Thanksgiving and I was not in blogging mode, yet I still managed to post without being anywhere near a computer (one of those tips I mentioned above:-) I have to say that it beats MLM with a stick, since you have to stop everything around the holidays (or accost, er, I mean “share the business” with your friends and family which is what you’ll be told to do – UGH!)
One of two things happen at this point. You either get so much flack and negativity from your loved ones, or you lose momentum and your business either peters out or you need to re-enthuse yourself somehow to get back into the swing of things (a convention maybe? Better go or you’re not serious!) The holidays have put more than one network marketer out of business.
With gifting, you are not required to approach people you know to push your idea of a great income opportunity on them. Using the Internet, you have only the people who are interested in gifting programs visiting your free websites. If they want more info, they sign-in, whether it’s Thanksgiving, Chanukah, Christmas day or any other day that puts the brakes on the MLMer’s. I get some flack for my feelings about network marketing, but so be it. If it works for you, great! As I always say, that usually means you have deep pockets or a large network to tap into already. Good for you!
But back to the fun stuff – food! We have a traditional Thanksgiving meal with turkey, stuffing, gravy and all the fixings and it was awesome! I managed not too eat too much – just barely.
I made the cardamom rolls, which are not exactly a widespread tradition. but they are a tradition with my husband’s family. They sounded weird to me, too, at first until I tried one. They are actually delicious, just a regular white dinner roll recipe with crushed cardamom seeds added in. Oh and my fresh pumpkin pie came out great!
Anyway, you’re looking for info on cash gifting so I won’t go on and on. I hope you had a terrific holiday, too!
Warmest,
Tracy
