The Bonus IBV Injection Starts the Week of February 6, 2012

Market America's MPCP (Management Performance Compensation Plan) — the most lucrative and realistic compensation plan ever created — just got even better with the Advertising Bonus Pool, which has created an IBV economic stimulus.

We recently completed another quarter (October 8 — January 6) of the Advertising Bonus Pool program. Consistent with the stimulus from the IBV injection into the economy of this business for the previous quarters, we are expecting the same impact when the bonus IBV is assigned for this quarter.

Shop Consultants who satisfied the necessary criteria to participate in the Advertising Bonus Pool are already seeing this program do great things for their business on the IBV side of the MPCP. How would you like to be rewarded with an IBV bonus for simply doing the same things you should already be doing to build your UnFranchise^® business? Imagine being notified that you have been rewarded with bonus IBV to place within your organization!

As our online traffic and loyal customer-base grows, Market America is becoming more and more attractive for advertisers, creating an ever-growing stream of online ad revenue. This revenue (generated from AdSense and paid banners on the Web Portal and other Market America websites) is being accumulated in the aforementioned Advertising Bonus Pool, which is being awarded to you and your organization in the form of bonus IBV so that you and others in your organization can earn bigger and more frequent IBV commissions. As we anticipated with this bonus IBV injection Market America will have placed over 2 million IBV for first year of the Advertising Bonus Pool program!

Starting the week of February 6, Market America will inject 565,816 (the highest total to date) Bonus IBV into this economy. The assignment of 565,816 IBV for the quarter (October 8 — January 6) will stimulate more IBV commissions being earned, with many more close to being earned!

The Bonus IBV will be assigned as an equal share to everyone who satisfied the criteria. Recipients have the ability to place the IBV where they want in their organizations based upon the current IBV placement regulations (we encourage you to place the IBV in BDCs that are also meeting these requirements as an extra incentive).

There were 2644 qualifiers who earned 214 IBV each! This will be an economic stimulus for the most lucrative compensation plan ever created, the MPCP.

Starting the week of February 6, those individuals who qualified for the Advertising Bonus Pool will be assigned a total of 214 IBV over a four-week period. A weekly email will be sent to each of the qualifiers for four consecutive weeks starting the week of February 13, enabling each qualifier to place 53.5 IBV within their organization.

The real winners are the UnFranchise^® Owners who duplicated their efforts, satisfying the criteria within their organization!

Don't miss out this quarter! Now is the time to learn how to position yourself to earn bonus IBV.

Here is how it works:

For the three Q-date periods starting January 1 and ending March 31, by simply satisfying the following criteria, you will qualify to be a part of the Advertising Bonus Pool.

Complete the Getting Starting Wizard
Order 10, 20 or 30 IBV each month by your Q-date (based on your IBV commission earnings)
Make $50 in personal purchases from Partner Stores by your monthly Q-date
Generate 50 BV in sales from your Web Portal, Mini-Website(s) and/or PC Autoship by your monthly Q-date from Preferred Customers

Note: In order to verify that you have satisfied the IBV requirements, simply refer to the "Advertising Bonus Pool Report" on your UnFranchise Business Account.

We will be tracking those who qualify for the Advertising Bonus Pool from January 1 to March 31. Everyone who satisfies the monthly IBV requirements for each of the three months as well as having at least one new customer (the new customer cannot be an existing PC) order a Market America-branded product from your Web Portal will receive an equal share from the Advertising Bonus Pool. From that point, you will be able to place the IBV where you want in your organization based upon current IBV placement regulations. It is encouraged to place the IBV in BDCs that are also meeting these requirements as an extra incentive. From the time that the bonus IBV is assigned to you, you will have four weekly pay cycles to place the IBV within your organization.

Participating countries: United States, Canada, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Australia.
Currency conversions: $50 USD; 51.64 CAD; 51.10 AUD; 1,521.00 TWD; 389.71 HKD

*There is a six day overlap between the last IBV ABP quarter and the new IBV ABP Quarter. If your original Q-Date is 1-6, then your Monthly criteria for month ending 6 January 2012 will count for both ABP periods. Also, if you had a new PC sign up and place a BV order within January 1-6, 2012. It will satisfy that criteria for both IBV ABP quarters.

**The initial order of a PC who is assigned to you through Market America's lead-generation program will not count toward the criteria to qualify for the Advertising Bonus Pool. The second order of a PC who is assigned to you through the lead-generation program will count toward the criteria.

IMPORTANT IBV Bonus Announcement

As many of you know, JR committed to matching up to $1 million for the first year of the Advertising Bonus pool in order to help prime the pumps! When you combine the advertising revenue and the company's contribution, it came to over 2,000,000 Bonus IBV paid out through the Advertising Bonus Pool (ABP)!

Now, JR has decided to extend the bonus pool match for another quarter with up to $250,000 matched in Q1 2012. Most companies would just keep the advertising money, but JR saw it as another revenue stream to share with UnFranchise owners that are on board with the IBV model. The reason for the IBV requirements is that, along with the eight pumps initiative, it drives traffic and sales. These conversions usually translate directly into more advertising dollars and result in large numbers of UFOs that met these challenges receiving "Bonus IBV" to assign within their organization in accordance with "MPCP Downline Placement Policy." This "Bonus IBV" generated many more IBV commissions throughout the recipient's organization and stays in the system for up to two years, putting many more people closer to a check as an incentive to meet the requirements.

Obviously, the reason for doing this is to get more people engaged in result-producing activities on the Portal to increase conversions that increase IBV and Advertising dollars to boost the ABP. If you take the time to really understand that by completing the IBV requirements, the field has the power through its collective buying and selling power to actually increase IBV and drive Advertising dollars up. The result is that it eventually comes back to you in IBV, paid out by the company!

JR's commitment of matching up to $250,000 to the Advertising Bonus Pool for Q1 2012, however, is being made with two objectives in mind. JR wants the Bonus IBV to motivate more people to go for and hit these quarterly challenges, and insure that those UFOs who are hitting these challenges are the individuals who are the ones receiving the benefits of the bonus. It does not seem fair for the UFOs not participating to receive the benefits of the hard work of others. With those objectives in mind, here are the following requirements for the ABP Quarterly Challenges in 2012 beginning January 1 — March 31, 2012:

In order to be qualified to accrue Bonus IBV from the Advertising Bonus Pool awarded for assignment within your line of sponsorship (i.e., Distributors occupying placement above or below you within the organization); you must have satisfied the Advertising Bonus Pool criteria for the respective quarter. EXAMPLE: For the Advertising Bonus Pool Quarter beginning January 1 — March 31, 2012, you must have satisfied the ABP requirements and been awarded Bonus IBV to assign IN ORDER to accrue Bonus IBV that was awarded and assigned to BDCs below you from that Advertising Bonus Pool Quarter (Jan-Mar). All non-Bonus IBV will accrue as normal.

IBV Advertising Bonus Pool Report is Live!

We have created a new "Advertising Bonus Pool" Report to help you monitor your status toward earning the Bonus IBV each quarter. There is a drop-down box for you to select which IBV ABP quarter you are checking. This drop-down will always include the current quarter and the last quarter, so you can check your progress during the quarter and confirm completion when the quarter is complete.

Note: The company cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of the information on the UnFranchise Management System (UFMS) until the close of a commission week, which occurs two weeks after the actual week ends, due to continuous updates, adjustments, returns, and reconciliations. BV and/or IBV adjustments could affect your qualification for the IBV ABP.
