Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

I took a chance and invested a whoping $49 to get my biz agency on Jan 3, 2010.

I figured, it's the price of a bad dinner for 2. All know is this, I came in for $49 and signed up 3 new reps in my first 2 days and my drycleaner as a customer. All 3 of my reps are doing well and got paid more than they ever made with our previous mlm ventures together (including monvia, herbalife and pre-paid). 


I actually earned $300 in my first 2 weeks with biz. I see my dry cleaner guy once a week and he is very happy with his text system. I just got my biz calling cards loaded with $5 calling cards and simply don't see how anyone can get hurt. I never met jim ferras or al karuza personally but heard them on conf calls and i am comfortable with my position and earned income.

Anytime i can turn a $50 into $300 is good business with happy clients and reps. I can tell you this... i lost a lot of money and time with monavie and never made over $200 total in 5 months. I have enough juice to last me a year :)

So.. i'm game with BIZ and these guys. Actually, very excited now about getting my pay on the biz master card.  

God Bless. CL

BIZ GLOBAL MEDIA IS MY FUTURE

I had to write this article to share my experience with anyone checking out BIZ Global Media.

I can't tell you how many MLM Companies I have been with and have totally spent more money than I ever made.  So after swearing off Network Marketing forever, a friend of mine text me about BIZ and their 82222 shortcode. It sounded interesting and after checking out the Texting Program i was totally intrigued.

When I found out it was MLM, I was almost turned off , but the product was too timely to pass up.   In checking out the company and owners I found the usual negative stuff from MLM reps and I almost stopped there, but r owners this looked too good so I investigated further, even going to the Corporate Office to meet the owners, Jim Ferras and Al Krauza.

What an experience, these guys are definitely forward thinkers and after also talking with other BIZ Agency Oewners, I also found that they are hands on owners, and work with the field on a daily basis. In fact, Al Krauza does a Daily Webinar every morning.
This is unheard of for owners of a company.

I joined BIZ about 60 days ago, and never looked back.  I got my $295 back in 7 days with only 6 Agency Owners in my Organization and I am on my way to becoming a manager, which is $900 per month.  I AM FINALLY MAKING MONEY!! And I am getting paid on my Global Cash Card on almos a daily basis.

So far, this is the best company I have ever joined... Thanks to Ripoff Report to let me expose the positive side of the story.

Lesson Learned

When I read about the person with LocalAdLink I had to respond, because I had a similar problem with a company that I was almost successful at.  I joined Your Travel Business  (YTB) and for several months it looked like it was a perfect venture for me and hearing all the money people were making made it very exciting.


However, what made me curious is that none of the people that joined with me, or myself, ever did any traveling.  We just signed up agents and all the commissions I received were from bringing on Travel Agents, not selling travel.

I guess this is what shut the company down..
Many of the people working with me really went wild on the company and started bashing everyone involved.  My thoughts were that it was a good lesson..   NEVER JOIN A COMPANY THAT DOES NOT HAVE A REAL PRODUCT, that you would use yourself. And that could be sold to a real customer without the compensation plan.

Since I do not like selling products, I heard about Biz Global Media about a month ago and ordered the $49 package to use in my other business (Not MLM).  It really worked as soon as I set it up and now I am giving out my Key Word to 82222 and I am really surprised how many people were interested in this Mobile Marketing concept.  

Now I am starting to retail the Biz program to my business friends and I may even build another organization.  Many people told me stuff about Biz, but I had to find out for myself.  And so far, I love the concept, no products to sell or deliver, and everyone is text messaging.   And if the company keeps putting out a products that works and pays my commissions, I will stay with them  

The lesson I learned is, don't listen to everything you hear, especially in the MLM business, find out for yourself.

I am writing this letter to share my experiences over the past 7 months.
In July I joined a company named GlobalAd Link.  As a business person, I saw the valus of Local Advertising for small to medium businesses and combining this with Network Marketing seemed like the formula for success.

Well, the formula was right, but the company was not.  Over the next several months I worked 24/7 in both retail selling to businesses and recruiting other Representatives like myself.  In all I sold the product to over 20 businesses and accumulated over 300 Representatives in my organization. 

And then it started happening,  1. The product did not work as promised  2. My business  clients were not helped  3. The company did not pay commissions.
Needless to say, I left the company and I think they have since closed down leaving many people like myself hanging.

All this being said, I still feel that the timing is right for Local Advertising, but I wanted to be careful this time, in providing Advertising for Local Businesses and I still like the concept of Network Marketing. So I began searching several companies that might fit this criteria and found Biz Global Media last month.

But I wanted to be careful this time, so I put three things to the test.  (1) Does the Product Work?  (2) Are they supporting customers (3) Do they pay commissions?

I first paid $49 to become an Agent and I immediately was able to set up my Key word with 82222 short code. (And it worked) and has worked each time I did a demonstration.

Then I went to three of my past clients, who were friends, and inspite of the bad experience with Local Ad Link, they ordered the $295 package from BIZ.  Again, they set up their key words and the system worked immediately, and the Text Message Advertising concept really excited them.  They also called the company and received good support.

But mainly, and this is what I was waiting for, the company paid my commissions (ontime) on a Master Card. So the three criteria were met for me.

I am writing this letter for anyone who was burned by a company, and telling them not to give up, but make sure that you test out the product first, to make sure it  works and make sure the product has a retail market.

Also, I want to say that I looked at Biz Global Media before I joined LocalAd Link and I did not join them because I did not think they were ready.  But I wanted to share my experience to date, which is very positive and I am now starting to build an organization.
