My Power Mall Changes
Beginning December 17th, anyone that gets their own My Power Mall business will be required to make at least one purchase a month through their mall. There is no set amount that has to be spent, but just one and any purchase. Could be a $1.99 I-tunes even.
I am over joyed by this actually. I was getting tired of bringing people in and seeing my downline growing but very few people shopping. After all, by people shopping is the only way anyone gets paid. With the number of people in my downline, my commissions should be almost $100 per month, but because people aren't doing what needs to be done to actually make it work - some people spend way too much time complaining than doing - then it's not working.
But the mandatory purchase will change that. I am SO happy.
So my point is this, if you get My Power Mall and don't plan on buying one thing per month, then plan on it being deactivated the next month.
Here is the explanations including Q & A of the mandatory purchases by My Power Mall.

The Money Question
Someone posed this question to me today:
How many people do you have under you and how much money did they have to spend for you to get $25.00?
I currently have 304 people under me and the amount of money spent by myself and my team varies, as well as, the commission percentage paid by each store and on each level. So there is no way I could actually answer this question, even if I wanted to, it's a complicated thing.
Plus, every team is different. Some team members are much more actively shopping than others. Can't make money if people aren't shopping, it's the foundation of making commissions.
This is what I tell people if they decide to join My Power Mall.
Be in it for the long haul. No one is going to get rich over night. But with time and persistence, anyone can achieve financial freedom if they are committed.
I don't sweat the small stuff like how much money has to be spent in order to get my commissions or when my commissions are going to be paid - it takes between 60-90 days for the stores to pay My Power Mall...so I just consider the money as being in the pipeline.
I just shop in my own mall and give malls away to people that truly see the big picture of what My Power Mall is offering folks.
I truly believe in My Power Mall. It's so EARLY yet. The naysayers (and I understand and respect them all the way) will look back at the success of MPM and wish they'd joined and/or stuck with it

My Power Mall &Tree Giving
Ginny recently lost one of her beloved labs and one of the members did something that was very touching....and did it through My Power Mall, which seems so very appropriate.
She and members of her team had a tree planted from Tree Givers in the name of Ginny's lab, Sable, to be planted in the spring of 2008.

MPM Update
The state agencies here changed the rules and only interviewing/hiring people that already has a masters....so that knocked me out of the running for staying here.
I've been scrambling for paid internships in other states.
Discovered a cheating husband..so now heading for divorce court.
And going through everything I have accumulated to see what I will and won't take with me, especially since it's probably going to be a permanent move rather than a temporary one like previously planned.
Such is life.....
But I thought today's update was important as it contained specific information about the debit cards and how that will work.
Here it is folks: http://corporatempm.homestead.com/Update12-6-2007.html
I hope everyone had a grateful Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays.

My Power Mall Review - Not Mine
NOTE: The link to the review site is at the bottom of this post. I put it there as I would very much like for you to read my blog before navigating away from it. Then go read to your hearts content.
If, after you read the review you are interested in joining My Power Mall....DO NOT...I repeat....DO NOT consider joining through their site. Who wants an upline sponsor with such a poor view of a business opportunity when they clearly haven't looked at everything My Power Mall has to offer?
Come back here and join under someone that believes in My Power Mall or find someone else that is a 'positive' member.
As usual people try to bash something that they really don't understand. What is it they say? We are fearful the unknown? (So better to say something negative in a review of something you don't understand than nothing at all - when you are doing a review, that is.)
After you read the review, I also want you to notice that they STILL have their business mall. I wonder why that is if they think that My Power Mall isn't so great? Oh, wait, they are keeping it so that you can see what the mall looks like. But I am also wondering how many of their readers are still signing up under them and their downline is growing. Hmmmm...interesting......that's some reverse psychology for ya folks!
They are definitely not painting a full picture. I like the way they made the comparisons of buying something from the mall and buying something for an offline store.
Here's a couple of my comparisons to negate their product purchase review:
1. Best Buy: Digital Recorder $89.00 order through My Power Mall - paid the same in-store price - received $5 instant rebate (I would have had to mail in for the rebate if bought directly from the store). Picked it up at the store so I didn't have to wait for shipping, therefore NO shipping charges. And my team got paid the rebate commission.
2. Drugstore.com - Yes there are some items that cost a few cents more, but usually when they have items on sale, it is comparable to if you went and purchased it at an offline store. The first time you make a purchase, it's free shipping on $25 . Each time after that free shipping doesn't start until the purchase equals $49 or more. But again, I'll buy from them with free shipping...it's definitely cheaper than paying $3 a gallon for gas to go into town.
3. Beauty.com. I used skin care products that cannot be found in offline stores in the USA. So I buy often from beauty.com anyways. I get the same shipping deal as drugstore.com (they are connected) and now my team gets a rebate/commission.
4. Zappos.com - Where can you find this store offline?
5. itunes - need I say more?
Something very important to keep in mind about review sites. They are popping up all over the place. ALOT of these review sites are actually 'affiliates' giving you a little push to purchase something or 'business opportunities' doing a review in an actual attempt to get you to join their opportunity. You 'think' they are being helpful, but truth be known, they are NOT. It's all about them not you. In fact: The guru online people will tell you that a 'review site' is the way to go to promote affiliate products and many of them have affiliate review sites themselves.
Rosalind Gardner has Sage-Hearts.com a dating review website.
Affiliate Scout
Affiliate Programs
People provide the reviews for one, in hopes you'll make that one time purchase, such as sage-hearts.com or in the case that you are looking for an affiliate program to support and you will sign up for an affiliate program through them (alot of affiliate programs offer 2 tier - meaning they make a small percentage of sub-affiliate makes a sale)
Point being: I have this blog so that people can read about My Power Mall and I hope that they consider joining under me. How many people actually say that?
Back on track here - after reading the review site (I Tried That link below.), make sure and scroll down to the comments. Ginny Dye actually made a comment herself.
Hooray for Ginny!
I am going to post her comment just because I think it really says alot about My Power Mall.
It is much better after reading a review site to visit a discussion forum about the product or business you are researching where you can actually get an exchange from a real person that is in real time and is unbiased.
To me, nothing speaks louder about My Power Mall than these Testimonials.
It's going to be interesting to see all of the 'want something for nothing' & 'wanna get rick quick ' folks bash My Power Mall, while the rest of us shop in our malls, build our team and watch our commissions grow over time.
This is just my thought for the day as I sit here wearing my facial mask purchased with My Power Mall commissions from Beauty.com.

My Power Mall Update 11/7/07
Yes, My Power Mall is growing slowly, but it is growing and it's almost like free money. Especially since I only bought things that I would have purchased anyways.
Shoes from Zappos - $59.85 (needed those for work)
Digital recorder from Best Buy for school - $89.00
Personal Items on sale from Drugstore.com $52.00
Domain name from 1and1.com - $5.99
Let me be honest about My Power Mall though.......if you aren't going to purchase anything from your mall, then don't join because you will just be taking up server space. You can't join and then expect things to magically happen. That's just not the way it works folks.
If you join just to 'see what My Power Mall is all about' and then decide it's not for you (it's not for everyone), then be courteous and deactivate your mall since Ginny Dye was courteous enough to give a FREE way for people to make money.
I actually hope that Ginny Dye comes to her senses and drops the dead weight (people that are not shopping from their malls and/or building their business with My Power Mall).
I would like to see corporate office make it a requirement that every member has to make at least 1 purchase a month in order to keep their mall active. It wouldn't matter how big or small of a purchase.....but just make a purchase period.
It's definitely been irritating to see people get a free mall and do nothing with it. (And then of course go spouting off all over the net that My Power Mall doesn't work...PLEASE! I got my commission! It DOES work.....but only if you work it.)
Ok, enough of my speech. Here is todays My Power Mall update:

MPM & Oprah?
Ginny Dye, the founder & CEO of My Power Mall recently sent out a broadcast to the members saying she has been contemplating approaching Oprah Winfrey about endorsing Together We Can Change The World & MPM.
Can you imagine the growth of MPM if Oprah endorses and promotes it? This would truly be a match made in heaven. Two very strong and dedicated women using the power of the internet to change the world?? Ginny & Oprah. The implications are unbelievable! If we can harness this power, WE TRULY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. We can change the world through good will and good works, not through force.
This opportunity, and the impact that it could have, has given me new hope, both personally and on a much broader, and much more important, world-wide level.

MPM Questions Answered
Many of you have come to this site because you have heard about My Power Mall and wanted to know more about it. Kudos for doing your research. Most of us (including myself) have been scammed in one way or another while looking for legitimate online opportunities.
I've looked for years for just the right opportunity; one that I could realistically do, one that I could afford and one that I could feel proud about. When I was introduced to My Power Mall (MPM) I was skeptical but hopeful. I kept looking for “the catch” but didn’t find it.
I will try to address some of the top concerns that people have asked me about. Most people want to know:
· Is this business for real?
· Is this a scam?
· Is it really free – what’s the real cost?
· Any Negatives?
Is This Business For Real?
My Power Mall is listed with the BBB and launched on
I joined My Power Mall (MPM) on
- Training Materials – Training Letters
- Business Reports- Sales, Commissions, Member Locator, etc.
- Marketing Tools – E-Cards, Flyers, Audio Emails, Media Publications, etc.
- Internet Marketing Training –Advertising, Banners, MLM Leads, etc.
I started to receive daily training emails which cover every aspect of MPM. The training covers, what you need to know, the MPM do’s and don’ts, how to start marketing your mall, ethics, how to stay motivated and even how to succeed without a PC! The free training is valuable and could even be applied to almost any business!
In addition to the training, the founder and CEO, Ginny Dye sends practically daily email broadcasts that inform all members about the growth of the company. There are bimonthly conferences calls that anyone can take part in. The MPM Staff is very dedicated and professional. Chat with other MPM members in the Members Forum and get help, advice and support. In my opinion, this program is for real.
Is This a Scam?
I have used the free advertising tools, submitted free ads, listed my site on search engines, posted flyers, handed out business cards, sent emails and generally followed this program as it is laid out. My overall experience has been great! I am seeing success in growing my downline and I have never had to pay a penny for any of the free tools provided and there are no hidden costs. If this is a scam, I don’t see how.
Is It Really Free – What’s The Real Cost?
The program is free to join and provides you with everything you need to run a real internet home-based business. With that being said, you need to be realistic when it comes to starting a business. There are always costs associated with starting any business. Here are some of my costs:
$5.99 per year for a domain name.
$3.99 per month for web hosting
$12.00 per month for advertising on high traffic blog
$7.49 shipping for my free business cards.
You can run this business with very little money. But you just might want to spend some money investing in your future.
Can You Really Make Money?
My answer to you is absolutely, yes.
Are there Any Negatives?
- This is not a get rich quick scheme so if you think you are going to make big bucks over night, this program is probably not for you. It takes time to get new members to join, shop and earn the commissions. In my opinion, this is a long term commitment that will take time to develop and grow but can potentially provide you with great income.
- You can have 100 people in your front line in a few weeks but if no one shops then no one earns. You need to target people who shop online, that will believe in the program and use it to their benefit.
Conclusion
For me, two things have been the most frustrating:
It just astonishes me that we are giving away something of such great value and people refuse to take it. All the people that refuse to take it just don't know what they are refusing to take and they are reject something with such great earning potential.I also have spent hours and hours promoting my domain www.arkansaswebmall.com and have submitted hundreds of ads and postings to Social Bookmarks etc. only to have people do a search on “My Power Mall” and sign up through the corporate site.
However, the great part about MPM is that anyone who signs up through the corporate site automatically gets assigned to a MPM 10+ member (which I am). Although, I would love for everyone who sees my ads and visits my site – “Arkansas Web Mall” to join our team. I am really proud of the way MPM supports their members by helping them succeed.
My Power Mall is a real home business that is absolutely free to join, provides free training, free business tools and helps every member achieve their financial freedom while helping One-Child-At-A-Time! This is a company I believe you will be proud to be part of.
Sincerely,
Missy Parish

My Power Mall - A Daily Update to Members
Daily Update - September 20th
Tuesday, September 18, 2007
Difference Between Personal Mall & Business Mall
A business mall allows you to save money and earn commission of the shopping habits of others (9 Tiers). If you want to see the commissions per Tier, you can watch the video or download the pdf version on your Biz site. Same scenario, you made a $100.00 at a 10% commission rate a $10 commission would be generated. That commission is divided between the 9 Tiers and you would receive 7% of that or 70 cents. But, since you earn commissions on everyone on your team through 9 tiers, multiply that by 100s or 1000s or more. Getting paid on the shopping habits of other, without any additional work on your part, is what creates the income.
Would you rather get paid on the efforts of 1 (you) or the efforts of many others?

MPM Testimonials:





Hi Joe,
I woke up at 3:00 AM to honor Labor Day by laboring for the 39,000+ people who have joined us since March 19th when we launched. One of my members sent me your post, incensed that you would say what you did. I read it and smiled.
Not because I’m glad you’re unhappy, but because I realize it is not possible to make everyone happy and because no matter what I do someone isn’t going to like it. I’ve decided to accept that and just keep moving forward - trying to create the best business opportunity possible. I just appreciate honest dialogue so I thought I would share some…
Oh, and by-the-way, I didn’t go in a shut your Mall down.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and who knows - you might change yours in time.
Do we have improvements to make? My gosh, yes. Will we make changes? Of course. I listen to my members every day and keep working to make it better. In the interest of fairness, however, let me respond to some of your points:
1)You say that people can make more money if they just get their own Affiliate links. Is that true? Of course it is! The issue becomes, how many people are actually able to create a Mall that has over 1000 stores in it? Not many. How many people have the ability to create a system that will give everyone the training they need and give them access to every thing My Power Mall has? The only people who make real money with their own Affiliate Marketing are those people who are pros in E-Commerce, website development, Search Engine optimization, and other things that the average person simply won’t be able to succeed at. We do all that for you, and then GIVE you the system.
Does My Power Mall keep a % of every purchase made? Of course we do. How else do you think we could offer a Free Mall?
The % we keep pays for our systems, Free Malls for our members (currently 39,000+ and growing about 500 a day), the 60+ people who keep it going, the One-Child-At-A-Time Foundation and the Together We Can Change the World Foundation. I hate to disappoint you, but by the time I have taken care of everything I keep a very tiny %. I happen to believe that a company should make money WITH their members, not from them. Will I eventually make a lot of money. I hope so.:) I have 3 Foundations of my own that I am building in order to help make things better. The key, however, is that I can’t make money until I am FIRST helping a lot of other people make a lot of money. For me, it’s the right way to do business.
One thing you didn’t mention is that My Power Mall is just one part of my company called Together We Can Change The World, Inc. Ahh… you probably didn’t read enough to know that because you got so angry with the SPAM.
Come on, Joe… SPAM? You signed up for a company and gave me your email address. I even include an Unsubscribe link at the bottom of each one so you can stop receiving them any time you want to. The thing is… I have members who love to receive them and look forward to them. I’ll keep writing to them, and not be offended if you don’t care for me and choose to delete me from your life.
10 years ago I wrote down what I wanted my life to be… I want to empower others to fly to their dreams and then give them a way to do it. I truly believe My Power Mall is the answer. It’s okay that you don’t…
Do I try to motivate people? Of course. Most of us need some motivation when the world is spewing negative stuff at us all the time. I know I do; so I try to share it with the people who are building my company. I make no apologies for trying to be a bright spot in their lives.
Now, let’s address the comment about artificial over-inflated prices. The key thing here is that there is not one thing on My Power Mall that belongs to us. We are simply a portal for 1000+ (over 1100 right now)Merchants like Sears, Eddie Bauer, Lands End, Ink Jets, ShoeBuy.com, and on and on. Is everything a great deal? Of course not. The websites belong to each merchant but as consumers we all have the right to ferret out great deals.
Though I could send you tons of testimonials on great deals, I’ll just stick with my own:
- I needed some deck furniture this summer and had done some shopping around in the Mall and locally - just to see what people had. What I wanted was going to cost me about $1000. I found what I wanted on my Mall through Home Depot. I got 40% off and FREE shipping. Instead of $1000, I paid $600 and had UPS bring it directly to my house - saving me a lot of time and a lot of money. Plus, I made a % back. Cool!
- I buy Ink Cartridges all the time. I roamed around in my Mall. I could have bought them through Office Max, but instead I went through MrInkMan because I got them at 50% off, got FREE shipping, and didn’t pay any tax. Not to mention, I received 22% back!
- I used to traipse to the Mall to Eddie Bauer. Then, most of their retail locations disappeared, mine included. No problem. They are on my Mall. I can still buy my clothes, I can wait for the sales, I can have it shipped directly to me, and I make money every time.
- One more. I needed some luggage for a trip I was making. I went to Overstock.com and bought a $500 set of luggage for $210. I paid $1 for shipping and it was delivered to me by a chained UPS truck in the middle of a snowstorm. AND I made money back. Sweet!
I could keep going, but I think you can see my point. The reason for 1000+ stores is so that smart consumers can find the very best deal, save time & money, get things delivered directly to them, AND make money.
Oh, and if you still need the Western Digital 250Gig external hard drive you were looking for - try Tiger Direct on the Mall. Instead of the $79 you were looking at, you can buy it for $74.00 - and make some money back.
Just trying to help out…
Sure, it takes a lot of people buying to make money. I have never touted My Power Mall as a get-rich-quick scheme. It is a business - one that will take time to build. We do, however, give people all the tools they will need to build it, we run contests to reward buying, AND we have a whole team of people who do nothing but look for the best deals on My Power Mall.
Are we perfect? Of course not - no business is. Would I rather make money and have the chance to build a large team of people who can generate residual income, over gaining points through MyPoints.com? Well, yes, but that’s just me. Everyone gets to make their own choice.
And now, if you’ll please excuse me, I have some work to do to make My Power Mall even better for those people joining us every day. Thanks for allowing me to dialogue with you. If I can ever help you in any way, let me know.
Have a beautiful day!
Ginny
