In Business Since: March 2008

Comments: Shop To Earn is a pioneering company that has made its entry into the Personal Franchise space that works much like Market America. Both businesses are quite similar, which means that they pay you back a certain amount of percentage for your purchases. The percentage given is more or less equal as both Shop to Earn and Market America. However, Shop to Earn has a lot of advantages which makes it a cut above the rest, including Market America.
Shop To Earn is all set to create the economy of the future by virtue of their web portal, where you can find anything that you want through a single, convenient, centralized location. It includes different partnering companies that provide products in Health and Nutrition, Cosmetics, Business, Automotive, Apparel, Skin Care and Major Department Stores. The company also has their own line of products for water purification, supplements and green cleaning products. Shop To Earn partners with over 600 stores such as Walmart, Macy's, Big ...
... & Tall Factory Direct, Circuit City, Radio Shack Target, Shutterfly, Home Depot, Barnes and Nobel, Best Buy, Sears, and more. It also includes smaller stores specializing in holistic alternatives and European travel (Rail Pass).
Shop To Earn offers incentives such as rewards program to customers and distributors for shopping as well as comparative shopping experience, making shopping fun and convenient. Through the rewards program, you can earn points that you can redeem for exciting discounts and gifts.

Advantages:
· Super malls on the internet become a reality as Shop To Earn revolutionizes the concept of online shopping. It delivers products to customers through a brokerage distribution system. The company endeavors to build strong relationships and trust with its customers. As a way of servicing the customers, the representatives of the company collect product-preference data from them. The data include the likes and dislikes of the customers and information on what kind of products each individual customer wants. The company analyzes the data and then locates manufacturers to create personalized products according to preference of the customers.
· Shop To Earn and Shop to Earth also has their own branded Eco friendly products (True Green) that sell exceedingly well and have won the trust of many customers.
· Shop To Earn has some strong partnerships that Market America lacks, like Little Tikes, Pac Sun and Radio Shack.

Not For Profit Organizations:
Shop to Earn is admired mainly for Not-For-Profit organizations and schools. Both of these have the ability to use their communities to promote the purchase of the products and services. If price being all equal, wouldn't you like your purchases to benefit either of them?
For a Not For Profit organization, the basic business is the same as if you were going into this business as an individual. If the NFP ( not for profit organization) comes in as a Website Owner for $349 they keep all the money they will get from the retailers for shopping through their website. They do not have to put anyone else in. However, they will not receive any points from shopping or from businesses or individuals below them. They do keep all the cash from customers shopping on their website. They are not allowed to refer anyone for the $100 training bonuses.
If they become Brokers at $448 they must put one person or organization on the left and one on the right. And they might purchase $100 worth of environmental products from Shop to Earth section of the business before their 3 month anniversary. They will have 3 months to qualify for referrals and Organic shopping. Then they are qualified forever and keep any profits; $100 each time they put someone in under them and the cash from shopping including the points. Anytime someone else falls underneath them they will continue to get points and points can become additional income. All points then go up the ladder to everyone.
Disadvantages: Market America has many more relationships because they have been around for a much longer period of time and have created much more momentum currently.
For some reason the company has made it very difficult to allow the general public to find out details about them, including who started the company, on their main site. However, it seems that all this is divulged at their local meetings by their brokers. I would be very cautious about any company that doesn't fully disclose their operations with sections such as Who We Are, Our Mission Statement and How to Get Started that lists the costs. Since Shop to Earn is a private company, a broker will be able to provide this information to anyone who is interested in knowing more about the company.

Products/Services: Internet Marketing and brokerage products, as well as home, auto, health, going green for the environment, beauty and nutrition products. When you make Shop To Earn your home page, hundreds of shopping websites with their partner stores are displayed.

Compensation Plan: Shop to Earn has an interesting pay plan but just like a lot of Personal Franchises, you need to recruit to make any real, long term money. Typically if you recruit one new distributor a month you will build a solid organization and create recurring revenue within 24 months. There is also a fast start program where if you recruit ten people in 30 days, you will earn over $4000. Shop To Earn is a modified binary system. However, as with any plan, you must be willing to talk about the products and organization if you are to succeed.
Shop To Earn has three ways to get paid; retail profit, commission on exclusive products based on volume and a plan based on partner store shopping. Recruiting, support and motivation is done by the team, placing new member in your businesses, thus helping newer distributors getting paid.
