Alrighty lets see what Don Lapre has been up to since the last time we looked at him. As you can see Don Lapre has trademarked his name and to be sure I don’t have any trouble with his lawyers I will make sure to use the proper form for his name.

What has he been doing since last we look at Don Lapre ? Pretty much the same old same old as showed by this review by “JL” from Texas.

“I lost $4,000.00 that I would never see again, with Greatest Vitamins in the World, it is outrageous, bad customer service, I do advertise not for this of course but other stuff, but let me tell you this one is a waste of time and money, Well for my surprise I signed up over the phone and the “30 days to get your money back” was never mentioned. It really hurt me losing all that money but I learned my lesson, just be careful there is a lot of people out there that are scammers and they enjoyed scamming others around, don’t get caught up in it. The Greatest Vitamins simply does not WORK!!!!”

Darn “JL” if you had just read my review before you sent him any money you would have know better and would still have your money in your pocket.

If it looks too easy think scam.

“The Greatest Vitamin in the World”

Don Lapre is a fast-talking character who has been selling “get rich” opportunities for many years. Doug Grant is a “nutritionist” who claims to have vast experience in advising people about health and fitness. In 2003 they teamed up to promote “The Greatest Vitamin in the World,” which Grant reportedly formulated and Don Lapre began marketing through infomercials and Web sites.

The source of Grant’s nutrition credential seems to be from American Holistic College of Nutrition. This entity was a non-accredited correspondence school that taught fringe methods and had no recognized academic standing.

Don Lapre 2004 infomercial claimed that “The Greatest Vitamin in the World” contains “all you need for optimal health” and also presents a great financial opportunity For $35, viewers could become “independent advertisers” who, the infomercial promised, would get paid $1,000 or “up to $200 a month for life” every time they got 20 people to try the vitamin. The information stated that “nothing like this has ever been created until now!” and that making money is easy because all anyone had to do is direct people to their Web site, which was designed to persuade them to buy the product.

The vitamin itself retails for $39.95 plus $8.65 for a 30-day supply. Twenty purchases would add up to about $900. How is he able to pay out $1,000.00 to collect $900.00. Perhaps he knew that you will not be able to sell the package to the required 20 people and he will not have to pay out anything.

The new infomercials aired, in 2006, now offer to pay $500 each time a distributor you sign up gets 20 or more people to try the vitamin. We believe that this makes the finances of the entire program even more unworkable than described above, because the company would now have to pay out $1,500 rather than $1,000 for the privilege of collecting $900.

You might like to know that before you receive anything, you will get a call from one of his telemarketers. If you notice on the bottom of the TV screen there is a disclaimer that says something like these students may have purchased more expensive training to reach their current status. This is what the telemarketers WILL call you about!

So now you are stuck with the first charge and before receiving any material they want more money from you to help you get rich.

My question is just who is getting rich because it sure isn`t going to be you.

I think that before buying anything from this man I would suggest spending your money on some nice beach front property in Arizona or get a job with him, as that is the only way, IMO, that you can make any money with his programs.

You’ve seen the Adsense ads proclaiming “Affiliates: $537 per Day – Quit Your Job With ClickBank”.

Wait a minute – I hope you aren’t thinking you could go quit your day job so you can be an affiliate marketer. If so, here is why I recommend that you don’t:

* Affiliate Marketing is no picnic. There is no way of knowing which direction the market will go in the near future and for sure not the long term. Even if you managed to make $5,500 last month doesn’t mean you will this month. Websites lose popularity, traffic fluctuates, and relevance changes all the time. There have been sites making $200 a day suddenly nosedive to less than $20 a day for no obvious reason. You will need a lot of hard work, persistence, patience and ingenuity to make sure your income continues to grow. After you have all your expenses paid and have $12,000 in the bank maybe you can think about quitting your day job. A steady income beats dreams and hopes every time when it comes to sleeping well at night.

* Everybody is in Affiliate Marketing. This is a business that you won’t even be able to tell your family or friends the names of your websites for fear of competition. Mention of your business could accidentally lead to loss of income, especially if you are spending money to make money, Pay Per Click for example, it could really eat into your profits. Your job can only be done in your area but Affiliate Marketing can be done by anyone anywhere in the world. You may be competing with people on the other side of the world or in the other hemisphere. Anywhere there is internet connectivity. If you can’t compete in this arena then don’t quit your day job.

* Affiliate marketing moves fast. It doesn’t take long to either lose money or to make it. As soon as the traffic comes in you have to be on top of things to make any necessary corrections. You can’t hang around the water cooler expecting things to change. Affiliate marketing requires you attention 24 hours a day. No weekends off either.

After all that negativity, I need to confess that I do work full time as an Affiliate Marketer. Many of the reasons you may decide to become an Affiliate Marketer follow:

1. It is Lucrative. No other business start-up allows you to make $500 the day you start. I’ve seen programs bring in over $10,000 in less than four months from a dinky little website with a few pages and images. Should you find a way to get people to buy from you then you could end up making unlimited profits.

2. Affiliate Marketing changes daily. It is a new game from day to day. The challenge of trying out new things and seeing what works or doesn’t means Affiliate Marketing can be an exciting business. Once you see how much sales methods and marketing techniques change on a day to day basis you may become hooked. And you could end up running away from the competition.

3. Affiliate Marketing is TONS of Fun. It is hard not to enjoy being able to get up when I want, run errands, get my hair cut, come home and set up new marketing programs, check my stats and grin at my bank account. The knowledge that I’m being paid to loaf really makes life interesting. Did I mention it is fun?

An offline job can provide a reliable and steady income. While making some money with Affiliate Marketing, just continue to use it as a supplement to your offline income until your online income grows. Someday it will come down to the point where you make more at Affiliate Marketing than your day job, but until then just keep going in to the office.

Internet Marketing appears to be in hyper drive at the moment, marketers are rolling out new offers almost daily, all of which are offering financial freedom!

Claims of thousands of dollars a month are nothing but an insult to anyones intelligence & pray on new internet marketers hoping for a quick buck.

The only people making those #’s with these products over the next 30 days are the marketers with the monster lists that are pushing them!

I’m sure if you have been investigating online opportunities, you have been shown a marketers clickbank or Paypal report – Yes the #’s are very impressive but they are accounts from major players in this industry & without joint ventures or access to their lists, they are way beyond the average Internet marketers capabilities.

Can you justify spending time, money & effort on any of these programs

In Fact the Simple answer is YES!

However if you dont follow the information you receive you are wasting your money

Why Yes – Why pay for an Internet Marketing System?

1/ You need direction

2/ You need to know what your looking at

3/ You need to increase your marketing repertoire.

Be careful you need to determine if the advice is legitimate or self serving

How can you be sure the program is legitimate?

Blueprints

With the Blueprints to a successful site you can simply follow along & replicate the concept in any niche you desire.

Internet Blueprints are essential for newbies without them you will have to learn from a lengthy trial & error process

For Precise Blueprints of already successful websites in a diversity of IM markets I strongly recommend Internet Millionaire Blueprints

By following a proven system you are much more likely to see it through to completion, this if far better than being told do this & you will make a fortune!

I think it’s time to take another look a Loral Langemeier, the founder and CEO of Live Out Loud.

Since the first review of Loral Langemeier I have recently found a couple of reviews from people who have had opportunity(?) to become involved with Loral Langemeier.

Bruce from New Bedford, Ma

I’ve read a couple of Loral’s books and I concur that Loral comes up short on details. Just like a lot of other self-proclaimed guru’s, Loral’s writings are always pointing you to her staff which leads to more money in her pocket and less in yours. Cha ching for Loral.

Just because Loral is a woman in a male dominated business doesn’t excuse what she is doing. Bruce

Jaye from CA

I got sucked in for over $400 on Loral’s cd’s and dvd’s which were way overpriced and vague. It is just a way to get you to invest thousands ($9,000 to $17,000) on their “millionaire coaches”. How is a company supposed to help you financially when they already have you $17,000 in the hole?

Mike from Colorado

I just got off the phone with one her millionaires and he went thru want they are looking for in a person to join their team and Loral’s “Big Table”. For those of you who do not know what the big table is, it is the elite or elites in Lorals eyes. The ones who have made it, multi-millionaire status. It seems to get to this point it usually takes 3-5 yr with $300k-$300K/passive income PLUS $2M in assets.

I have heard quite a few investment speakers and they all say the same thing and promise you the world.

So my advise is save your money and try to hang out with other people that have actually made it and not just over the phone.

The one thing and one of my final questions was well it all sounds good, but please provide me with references that have gone thru this program and have made it? The interviewer declines to give me any names. Now would you buy something like this if you really couldn’t check it out. I mean you wouldn’t hire a contractor for a house improvement without references would you.

Again, I believe one can attain this kind of status and financial freedom, but be careful on whom you trust.

Sure doesn’t look to me like Loral Langemeier has done anything new and just keeps on doing the same old same old.

Loral Langemeier, the founder and CEO of Live Out Loud, has written “The Millionaire Maker” and “Guerilla Wealth” as well as creating many different educational programs. In addition to the various seminars and workshops, there are also free teleseminars available on Loral’s website.

While Loral Langemeier seems to have a decent following and respect among her peers, some people are of the opinion that the information provided by Loral in her books is simplistic, contains too much jargon for different processes and the tips given are just not realistic and could even cause potential financial harm.

There are both positive and negative aspects to Loral Langemeier’s products and seminars. For example she adamantly supports starting your own business, but the information on how to do so is absent in her books.

Some of Loral Langemeier’s advice is oversimplified and at times misleading. She touts starting your own corporation as great way to take advantage of tax deductions. This will not work since these deductions must be verifiable business expenses.

Loral Langemeier’s team building advice is also very unrealistic. She proposes that every one should have a support team of Lawyers, CPAs, Brokers, and Investors.

Unless you have a family full of professionals what she recommends is unrealistic. These people charge a lot of money for their services and the chances of them spending their time mentoring strangers is slim and none.

The redeemable qualities of Loral Langemeier’s work can be found in its motivational capabilities. If her books or seminars can get you to actually pursue a business opportunity or research an investment vehicle then they can be called a success.

Some people think that this type of information is worth the price, but others don’t.

The most important aspect of any multi-level marketing business is the people. This is true in any business but it is especially important when you are trying to find associates to bring into your organization who will help to build your income. There are a lot of opportunities out there so how do you get a MLM lead interested in yours?

The way to get good people interested in you plan is to find out what interests them. The potential member you are talking to is not interested in what your product is. They could care less how well you do with the program. That person across the table is only interested in one thing.

The potential new member you are pitching only wants to know what the business can do for them. People are almost always self-centered and they will only show interest in a situation that can affect them. Most of these people will have absolutely no desire to learn anything at all about your opportunity unless you can make it relevant to them.

Your function during the talk is to act as a transformer. In order to find success with the person it is critical that you show them how the business can transform their life.

Focus on how these people can get what they desire from your business plan and they will come on board.

Don’t try to sell the program, this is how most new MLM people get off track, you just need to sell the dream. That person across the table is not interested in how the organization is set up or what the structure is like. They are only interested in what’s in it for them.

When you show someone how the business can impact their lives then they will show interest in what you have to say. If you aren’t able to ignite the dream they have then you might as well walk away right now. If that lead doesn’t feel the possibilities your opportunity offers there is not hope in signing them.

Your job is really to be a change agent. You need to show the MLM lead how you can help them to change their lives. The vast majority of people are not happy with their position in life. These people are ripe for your opportunity if you can make the connection between what you offer and what they can achieve.

This all is about how your opportunity can transform the prospect’s life. Everybody has dreams they want to reach. You need to show the person how your plan can help them to satisfy their desires and wants. Show them how your business can provide the roadway to their success.

When things are going along nicely and the economy seems as strong and robust as ever, few of us think about what could go wrong. This is evidenced by the historically low rate of savings and by what some would consider the devil may care attitude towards tomorrow. Few will forget what happened in 2007 through 2009, however as one of the worst recessions ever took its toll. All of a sudden, people started to think of income alternatives should they be unlucky to lose their job.

Have you ever heard about saving for a rainy day? Most people had, but didn’t, but when the great recession arrived and the unemployment rate more than doubled, this was a stark reminder that they may have no income alternatives. What would happen if they were unable to pay their rent or mortgage or the other family commitments as they had no alternative plans. Now, suddenly it was time to look into those alternatives.

With very few exceptions, income alternatives are available for everyone. It may take the dramatic shock of losing a job or having hours cut back, but after the initial panic most people begin to realize that they do have options available to them. Now is the time to explore these, to itemize all your skills and assets and come up with a plan. You would be surprised.

If you are suddenly faced with a money crunch, take time to let your mind wander back to your school or college days. Remember what you used to be good at back then. You might’ve been a good writer or have been good at organizing things. What about sports – were you any good at a particular type? When analyzing income alternatives today, try and use some of those skills to best effect.

If you are a good writer, then you have an almost unlimited number of options available to you on the Internet. If you’re able to write on a variety of subjects, there are always people, companies and organizations looking for your work. You could hook up with a news organization or a website and be called upon to provide regular and reliable material. Webmasters are always looking for content for their sites from those who are able to write well. This could be one of your primary income alternatives.

Internet marketing involves creating well-thought-out and presented website and blog sites. People monetize these sites by creating information that people need and by offering solutions to meet their problems. This could be a suggestion for you as you can either sell your own services or products or link, as an affiliate, to those companies who will.

If you like the idea of freelancing when it comes to income alternatives, check out the online sites such as elance.com, odesk.com, rentacoder.com and others. These sites bring together people who have talents in one area or another with those who are looking for such talents. They have been highly successful and are well organized and regimented. This is a great place for you to look for work.

As you are looking for income alternatives, make sure that you cut down on all nonessential spending, consolidate as much as you can and get rid of all those things that you can find which you do not use any more. You will be surprised what you are hanging onto which would be of value to someone else.
