Rewards Points
-
$1.00 = 1point
-
points are pending for 45 days
after purchase. After 45 days they become available for
spending at the Rewards Mall. Any residual income earned
through FHTM by shopping on your site takes 90 days.
-
rewards points are earned by
shopping through your Fortune website (see #8 below for ways
to shop the Rewards Mall)
-
each merchant offers a
different % earned as points
-
the rewards points earned are
the % offered by the merchant
i.
for example: I go online to A&E to
buy music. A&E offers a 5.5% residual. So, the rewards points I earn
will be 5.5% of my purchases. If I spend $100.00, I earn 5.5 rewards
points on my account.
·
Essentially, rewards points are like a discount in the form of
points instead of money, that I can use at a later date toward
purchases at Fortune merchants (through gift cards, online shopping,
Everything Certificate, or loading my points to my Load and Spend
card to use at in-store merchants)

·
Residual
income: when someone shops the Rewards Mall through their FHTM
Office Assistant web page, the merchant pays Fortune “X” amount of
money depending on how much was spent. Fortune then pays about 70%
of the “X” amount of money back to the reps (the majority goes to
the person whose web site was shopped on, and a small amount goes to
that person’s upline)
anybody else heard of Fortune? Word of mouth started 7 years ago
in Kentucky and has now finally reached Northern California. As
MLM's go this is a VERY good thing as there are as of 2/08 ONLY +92k
reps worldwide
Paul Orberson, founder of Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, is one
of the most successful individuals ever to have participated
in the network marketing industry. When he left his last
network marketing company he had earned more money as a
Representative, in a shorter period of time, than anyone
before in the industry.
He was a schoolteacher and coach from a small town in
Kentucky before he began working with a small start up
telecommunications company. Paul’s efforts helped that
company become one of the fastest growing telecommunications
companies during the 1990’s and a multi-billion dollar,
publicly traded NYSE company. Paul became a
multi-millionaire in four short years and was able to retire
before he was forty years old.
After relaxing and enjoying the fruits of his labor for four
years, Paul decided that work was more fun and challenging
than retirement. He also missed the personal relationships
that he had enjoyed as a full time network marketing
representative. However, Paul’s retirement was not all rest
and relaxation and he became increasingly concerned that
although he had been successful in the industry, he knew
others who needed and wanted to achieve financial freedom.
It was at this point that he began to formulate the vision
that was to become Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing®.
|
Paul began a detailed review of several companies and a
multitude of marketing programs. He consistently found
deficiencies and inherent weaknesses in these programs and
compensation plans. As a result of his research, specific
features were identified as key elements of a successful
network marketing program. He identified a successful
program as being Representative rewarding and Representative
friendly. He next began exploring ways to add value to the
businesses that were built by the Representatives. His goal
was to develop a compensation plan with the Representative
in mind. One that would reward the Representative's hard
work in the field with the best compensation plan in the
history of the industry. With these ideas in mind, Fortune
Hi-Tech Marketing® began to take shape.
Although Paul has learned the intricacies of the network
marketing industry during his career, he felt that it was
important to bring together a strong, experienced management
team to oversee the day to day operations of the Company.
Paul's financial backing and a quality team of focused
professionals provide the strength and philosophy upon which
our Representatives can depend. Additionally, contracts have
been negotiated with major companies to supply:
long distance, internet, paging,
unified messaging systems, digital satellite television and
cellular/ wireless. Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing® will be
on the cutting edge of the technology revolution with very
competitive products and pricing for its customers. |
| Paul’s vision for the future
is now reality in the form of a world-class network
marketing opportunity for all people who are looking for a
way to become
financially independent and improve their lives. You
have truly found yourself in the right place at the right
time with the right team! |

Ahh the Web, what a powerful tool! Everyone can have their own
soapbox and be heard like
Speakers Corner in Hyde Park - London (well worth the visit WHEN you
get the chance!). Just as in life their is always conflict, so it seems
it is so with some. In doing my research and gathering feedback, this
'give and take' is pretty typical from a website:

(took 2.5 yrs to get an
answer?)
Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing has changed compensation plan. Reason why I think from all the negative publicity. I have has over 400 emails from reps upset. Everything I said was true. Now they have went from 99$ to 199$ to 249$ to 349$ in less than 2 years.
Over 50K reps you do the math. I will break it down 1 more time they have stop charging 399$ for th training fee because that is a illegal pyramid. But they raised there manager fee.
They offered Excel reps a home 1/2 off because they went bankrupt. I made 1000's of dollars with Fortune but I put 1000's out. How when I was in it costed 199 the company paip me upto 380$ with training money. Now people stay how do they stay in business good question here is the answer the 399$ the trainers was paying was covering Paul's expense.
Now I figure the A.G. wrote a friendly letter and told them that was a pyramid scheme. So they had to raise the price to 349 to cover all the people doing what I was doing 'BONUS BUYING'
I predict Fortune will be bankrupt just like Excel is now. Kenny Trout was the smartest man cashed in anow is 1 of the 400 ricest man. Pick up a forbes magazine a check it out. Oh did I mention he live in kentucky now.

One of the many replies that basically breaks it down. Best part is that this reply can be backed up with facts from the corporate website and local / regional managers

FHTM will
make Millionaires!!
Hello. When I started reading this
report, I really got a kick out of it.
There are so many people out there who
have been 'ripped off' with other
companies, and they won't give any other
company a chance...and who can blame
them, right??
So, how can you tell one company from
another? How can you make a educated,
conscious decision whether or not to
'buy into' one of these companies? I
recommend you research the company. I
don't mean to type in a couple of words
and read the first search result that
pops up. (That is how I found this
report). What you need to do is really
research the companies. Call the
corporate office, ask to speak to the
someone high up in the company. You
could possibly even ask to speak to the
CEO. With our company, I am sure if you
called our home office and expressed
your true concern and interest in our
company, our wonderful company reps will
answer any question you have.
FHTM is not an illegal pyramid. The
million dollar companies that we
represent DO NOT let anyone market for
them, unless they are a true, legitimate
company. Those companies came to
Fortune, to ask us to help them gain
some loyal customers. They can spend
millions of dollars in advertising for a
TV commercial, and gain just a few
hundred customers, who usually leave as
soon as they see a better deal. Instead,
they pay FHTM those millions of dollars
to bring them loyal customers (by word
of mouth) and Fortune passes over 90% of
it's profit (those advertising dollars
from the million dollar companies) to
us, the Managers, Regional Managers,
etc. There is nothing illegal about
that.
This company was created by a wonderful
man who's main goal is to help make
regular people (like me) wealthy. He
knows what it was like to live week to
week, month to month, and wants to help
others get out of the rat race like he
was so fortunate to do. If you research
it, you will see that he was 'Excel's'
top money earner. HE made over $1
million a Month, every month
consecutively for four years. Knowing
this, you should understand that he
knows about the network marketing
industry......which is why he knows how
to structure this company for maximum
growth and profit.
If you go to Staples or Barnes and
Noble, check out the 'Success from Home'
magazine. It is a third party magazine
that was put out and tells about our
company. Also, you can go to
www.whyfortunenow.com to read all about
our company. Fortune Hi Tech Marketing
is a 100% legitimate company. You begin
in our company as a Manager. Yes, it is
$299 to get started. But where else can
you become a representative for so many
million dollar companies and be able to
make monthly residual income from them,
all without having overhead, inventory,
headaches, etc. We work from a website,
which is worth a million dollars itself!
You can send anyone, anywhere, anytime,
to the internet, to your site, and they
can order any product or service from
you. Then, every month when they pay
their bill, you get a percentage of it
back as residual income! How can that be
a mistake? For only a $299
investment......you can start to build a
business, from home & part-time, that
will enable you to become as wealthy as
you want to be.
As you wait for your residual income to
build, because it doesn't just instantly
make you a millionaire overnight, there
is a bonus system set up like no other
you will ever see. The compensation plan
is phenomenal, and has set all of the
network marketing records, because it
has never been done this way and to this
extent. Just research it for
yourself.....remember, if you don't take
the time to really research any company,
you won't get the truth!
This is not just my personal opinion,
and I am not just saying this because I
am a rep for this company. I have done
all of the other businesses....ya know,
the ones where you sell products in
bulk.....sell juices, pills, car clubs,
etc. I do not mean that any other of the
companies don't 'work', however,
whenever you have to keep an inventory,
make a monthly quota, or go door to
door, you are just running yourself
around, and missing out on a better
businesses.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Just remember to take my advice and
Research the company. PLEASE, do not
write mean, incorrect things about a
company that you know nothing about.
Please make educated comments based on
fact, not just 'what you heard or read'.
Thanks.
Pyramid Scheme
From Wikipedia,
The distinguishing
feature of these schemes
is the fact that the
product being sold has
little to no intrinsic
value of its own or is
sold at a price out of
line with its fair
market value.
Examples include
"products" such as
brochures, cassette
tapes or systems which
merely explain to the
purchaser how to enroll
new members, or the
purchasing of name and
address lists of future
prospects. The costs for
these "products" can
range up into the
hundreds or thousands of
dollars. A common
Internet version
involves the sale of
documents entitled "How
to make $1 million on
the Internet" and the
like. The result is that
only a person enrolled
in the scheme would buy
it and the only way to
make money is to recruit
more and more people
below that person also
paying more than they
should. This extra
amount paid for the
product is then used to
fund the pyramid scheme.
In effect, the scheme
ends up paying for new
recruits through their
overpriced purchases
rather than an initial
"signup" fee.
The key identifiers
of a pyramid scheme
include the following:
- A highly excited
sales pitch.
- A reassurance
that it is not
infact a pyramid
scheme, possibly
with a false account
of what a pyramid
scheme is.
- Little to no
information offered
about the company
unless an investor
purchases the
products and becomes
a participant.
- Vaguely phrased
promises of
limitless
income
potential.
- No product, or a
product being sold
at a price
ridiculously in
excess of its real
market value. As
with the company,
the product is
vaguely described.
- An income stream
that chiefly depends
on the
commissions
earned by enrolling
new members or the
purchase by members
of products for
their own use rather
than sales to
customers who are
not participants in
the scheme.
- A tendency for
only the early
investors/joiners to
make any real
income.
- Assurances that
it is perfectly
legal to
participate.
The key distinction
between these schemes
and legitimate MLM
businesses is that in
the latter cases a
meaningful income can be
earned solely from the
sales of the associated
product or service to
customers who are not
themselves enrolled in
the scheme.
Multi-level marketing
( MLM) also
referred to as
Network Marketing is
a business distribution
model that allows a
parent multi-level
marketing company to
market their products
directly to consumers by
means of relationship
referral and direct
selling. Independent
unsalaried salespeople
of multi-level marketing
referred to as
distributors
(associates, independent
business owners,
franchise owners, sales
consultants,
consultants, independent
agents, etc.), represent
the parent company and
are rewarded a
commission relative to
the volume of product
sold through each of
their independent
businesses
(organizations).
Independent distributors
develop their
organization by either
building an active
customer base, who buy
direct from the parent
company and / or by
recruiting a downline of
independent distributors
who also build a
customer base, expanding
the overall
organization.
Additionally,
distributors can also
earn a profit by
retailing products which
they purchased from the
parent company at
wholesale price.
Distributors earn a
commission based on the
sales efforts of their
organization, which
includes their
independent sale efforts
as well as the leveraged
sales efforts of their
downline. This
arrangement is similar
to
franchise
arrangements where
royalties are paid from
the sales of individual
franchise operations to
the franchisor as well
as to an area or region
manager. Commissions are
paid to multi-level
marketing distributors
according to the
company’s compensation
plan. There can be
multiple levels of
people receiving
royalties from one
person's sales.
Legitimacy
It is
sometimes
difficult
to
distinguish
legal
and
reputable
MLMs
from
illegal
pyramid
or Ponzi
schemes.
MLM
businesses
operate
in the
United
States
in all
50
states
and in
more
than 100
other
countries,
and new
businesses
may use
terms
like
"affiliate
marketing"
or
"home-based
business
franchising".
However,
many
pyramid
schemes
try to
present
themselves
as
legitimate
MLM
businesses.
In
the most
legitimate
MLM
companies,
commissions
are
earned
only on
sales of
the
company's
products
or
services.
No money
may be
earned
from
recruiting
alone
("sign-up
fees"),
though
money
earned
from the
sales of
members
recruited
is one
attraction
of MLM
arrangements.
If
participants
are paid
primarily
from
money
received
from new
recruits,
or if
they are
required
to buy
more
product
than
they are
likely
to sell,
then the
company
is a
pyramid
or Ponzi
schemes,
which is
illegal
in most
countries.
This
is what
makes
FHTM
legal -
FHTM
reps
sell
goods
and
services
at or
BELOW
fair
market
value
