Rochester, MI (OPENPRESS) August 22, 2009 -- With a Michigan unemployment rate of 15% and a national unemployment rate of around 9%, the home business industry has come into its own. Even the mainstream media has acknowledged network marketing as a valid and even powerful way of making money -- for those who find the right company to work with.
Professional marketer Steve McCardell believes that one of those companies is TamPogo, which he says eliminates some of the problems typical of network marketing.
"With most network marketing companies," says McCardell, "there is a fee to join and there are usually more fees to host a website and have a back office for running your business. Sometimes there are additional membership fees as well. TamPogo is free to join and doesn't charge for a website or membership of any kind."
At its root, TamPogo is an online, discount shopping experience where Customers and Members alike find things they would normally buy elsewhere and they buy them for less on TamPogo. Buying any product labeled as "Fast Track" once a month -- and these are often listed between 20 and 30 dollars -- is the only requirement for remaining active and running a TamPogo business.
Customers enjoy the same pricing as Members -- they simply have no purchase requirements and cannot take part in the income opportunity. And non-profits can join as Members for fundraising purposes without any purchase requirements at all.
"Joining TamPogo is like buying your own Costco or Sam's Club online store," says McCardell, "only there's no cost to buying it, and shoppers have no annual fee. I believe these features will create viral growth for this shopping and business experience."
Because of these viral marketing features, McCardell also believes that anyone who puts in the time will be able to successfully build a TamPogo team; but as always, that those with the right tools will excel.
"This is why I put my writing and marketing background to work for my team members, making sure they have the tools they need to spread the word about TamPogo," says McCardell. "I don't want them to just rely on talking to everyone they see. I want them to have things in place, both online and offline, that will get their team growing passively, and get phone calls coming in.
"The key word in home business isn't home," he adds. "It's business. Too many people fail to recognize that, so they end up running things like a hobby and wondering why they don't do too well. I'm happy to help the hobbyists, but am really set up to help those who want to turn TamPogo into a substantial business success."
