San Francisco Chronicle

It is said so often that it has become a bit of a cliché, but one of the great virtues of starting a home business are the tax breaks you can claim. Another popular belief surrounding home businesses, however, is that claiming aggressive - and maybe slightly exaggerated - write-offs is a sure-fire way to attract IRS auditors. In this article, we'll look at some of the more popular home business write-offs as well as some tips on how you can legitimately claim them.

1. Keep a Business Journal
Being audited is not the end of the world. However, being audited and not having the records to back up your deductions can be a nightmare. The simplest way to avoid this unpleasant situation is to keep a daily log of your home business activities.

Follow up on Eiro Research

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:21:00 +0000

I don't usually offer much editorial on this page but this will be the exception.

I was shocked when I received the email announcing Danny Glover would be working with Eiro Research. Shocked because I thought that Eiro Research was presenting itself as a different approach to the typical networking business. I'll admit, having Glover as your centerpiece spokesman is certainly different. It will no doubt get many people talking about your company that might not otherwise care.

My question to the leadership at Eiro Research is why? Why Danny Glover?

I get why Glover would do it. Given that he has already pimped himself to the likes of Hugo Chavez and a rather unique ~~global warming~~ climate change stance, he may be seeking a more mainstream audience to convince us of his "moderate" views.

Network Marketing has always stood as an example of how free enterprise can work effectively for anyone seeking an opportunity to rise through honest effort. Unfortunately, there have been many bad actors in the business that have misled people through deceit. It is unfortunate that these cases have created a new marketing niche for new companies to hype themselves as being a different kind of biz.

In the case of Eiro Research, though initially advertised as being something unique in the networking business, I am disappointed to report that they too are plagued by the same shortcomings as many other companies we have seen fade into the background. If Eiro Research wants us to believe that they share the same values that Danny Glover has placed on public display, those that believe in freedom, individuality, and truth in advertising may want to think twice about joining Eiro Research.

Danny Glover Joins EIRO Research

EIRO Research, a Dallas-based nutritional company, announced today that world-renowned actor and humanitarian Danny Glover has joined the company.

"EIRO's innovative nutritional products are second-to-none," said Glover. "I have been exposed to the network marketing industry before. However, I have never encountered a company like EIRO. EIRO's management team, products, and opportunity represent the best-of-the-best. This is a great home for me, and I am proud to build a team along with such a great brand."

Club Sea Breeze, also known as CSB, is an exciting new opportunity to the Home Business Industry, scheduled to launch April 5, 2010.

Kelly's background, has educated him in the home business arena as to what works, and what doesn't work.

For starters, you have a family owned business, based out of Farmington, Utah, coupled with a compensation plan that nobody else has. You can easily get to know the family behind the business, unlike so many other online companies that keep you wondering, "Who is running this thing?".

One of the most exciting features with Club Sea Breeze is that it doesn't cost a fortune to join, making it reasonable for most people to join and get in on the fun.

ACN International Training Events are the talk of network marketing. The level of training, the quality of production, the excitement of the crowds-just can't be beat.

PR Inside

Trivani International, a Utah-based manufacturer and distributor of toxin-free personal care products, welcomes Bill Andersen from Salt Lake City, UT to its growing list of professional networkers. Bill’s experience and success in business and network marketing is extensive. After building a large insurance agency for 20 years and ultimately selling it to his partner, Bill decided to embark on a networking career. This decision came because of a previous event in Bill’s life. Two of his best friends had decided to join a new network marketing company and urged Bill to join them, but Bill declined; he was happy with his insurance business.

Those two friends later became two of the highest paid distributors in a billion dollar company. After leaving the insurance business Bill joined a network marketing company and became a successful distributor building a large organization. Later he was recruited by another company as their Master Distributor. Again Bill was successful. He attributes his financial achievements in this industry to “treating it as a business” and not some type of get rich quick deal.

Network Marketing Company Lifemax Launches Foundation; Aids Haiti Victims

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:39:00 +0000

Earth Times

Lifemax, a network marketing company known for Mila™, the world's healthiest whole raw food, has officially launched their Foundation and tallied the results of its premier campaign to aid the victims of the devastating Port-au-Prince earthquake and provide support to other third-world countries. The campaign ran over a 15-day period in late January and contributed one dollar for every 16-ounce bag of Mila purchased.

Lifemax, Inc. and the Lifemax Foundation teamed up with Dr. Mark Chironna Ministries to send a forty thousand pound container with corns, beans, rice and medical supplies to Haiti earlier this month. Together, the contributions from these organizations represented 200,000 meals. With additional funds leftover from the Lifemax campaign, the company sent another container of medical supplies that included heart medicine, antibiotics, gauze, and bandages to accompany the Haiti-bound shipment.

In addition to the Haiti relief, Lifemax has also shipped 500 pairs of children's underwear to an orphanage in Uganda, and has announced the completion of a boys' dormitory in Mozambique which will provide shelter and warmth for the children who, for the past two years, had nothing more than tents outside in which to sleep.

VoiParty Network – Get Paid When People Use the Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 02:12:00 +0000

SBWire

I think we can all agree that most new business opportunities, especially Pre Launch Network Marketing opportunities are worthless as the company or person promoting the business is selling a lot of hype and hysteria looking to sell you on their next big product launch. Then once they’ve got you hooked they hit you with all kinds of hidden fees and monthly recurring charges while continuing to lead you by the nose with hype and misdirection.

However, once in a while a really unique and dynamic Business Opportunity unexpectedly appears that rises above all the others. It is my pleasure to present what I believe to be one the most unique and lucrative home business opportunity‘s ever seen. Right now, this proprietary technology being offered by VoiParty is available during Pre Launch by Invitation Only to residents of the USA and Canada.

The founders of VoiParty have ingeniously developed proprietary software and hardware that taps into the existing multi-billion dollar a year telecommunications industry by providing termination of Long Distance Call services for far less cost than any other Interexchange Carrier currently in the telecommunications industry.

Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz suing over 'false' açaí berry endorsement claims

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:53:00 +0000

Chicago Sun-Times

Oprah Winfrey and America's favorite physician -- Dr. Memhet Oz -- want you to know they don't endorse dozens of açaí berry products that claim their seal of approval -- and they're suing to prove it.

"Many Americans have seen images of me, and Oprah and others supporting, it would appear, products that actually don't work in the ways that are described," Oz said in an exclusive interview Thursday with ABC's "Good Morning America." "And more importantly, when consumers trusting us try to buy these products over the Web, what they end up getting are fake products, pills that don't really have what's promised in them. They're often duped into paying more than they should. If my picture is next to a product, endorsing it and supporting your purchase of it, I did not give them permission."

Global Health Trax, Inc. Announces New Marketing Campaign for Oxygen Elements Max Product

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:38:00 +0000

PR Newswire

Nutritional supplement manufacturing and distribution company Global Health Trax, Inc. today launched a new marketing campaign touting its flagship, patented nutritional supplement product Oxygen Elements(R) Max as an ideal booster for popular energy drinks.

The new marketing campaign takes a whimsical approach to communicating Oxygen Elements Max's use as an energy drink enhancer by using a caricature of Albert Einstein at a chalkboard with his famous theory of relativity equation (E=mc2) crossed out and in its place a new equation (visithttp://www.OxygenElements.com to see it). "It's a great, fun way to show another way to use our flagship product," stated Tom Dixson, Global Health Trax President and CEO. "Since the founding of the company this product has helped tens of thousands of people feel more energized by providing their bodies with more oxygen at a cellular level." Additionally, the company is offering free trial-size bottles of the Oxygen Elements Max product along with $10.00-off coupons for anyone adding a campaign banner ad on their website, blog, MySpace page, Facebook page, etc.

Oxygen Elements Max helps an individual assimilate other nutrients in the body more effectively by maximizing their usage and absorption. Although most of the popular energy drinks on the market today contain caffeine to give the initial energy "boost" they also typically contain other ingredients such as certain B vitamins that also help the body produce more energy.

MonaVie Lands on Inc.’s Top 500 List—No. 1 in Food and Beverage Category

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:19:00 +0000

Utah Pulse.com

Inc. magazine today announced its 28th annual Inc. 500/5000 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. With over 27 million businesses registered in the United States, the Inc. 500 list represents the top-tier businesses in America today. MonaVie, maker of premier acai-based nutritional and energy drink products, ranks No. 1 in the Inc. 500 Food & Beverage category, No. 3 in Revenue and No. 18 on the overall Inc. 500 list. “This achievement puts MonaVie in rarified company,” says Jane Berentson, Editor of Inc. magazine. “The elite group MonaVie recently joined has, over the years, included companies such as Microsoft, Timberland, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Oracle and Under Armour.” MonaVie will be featured on the Inc. 500 list in the September edition of the magazine.

MonaVie is a direct seller of nutritional beverages made from unique blends of nature’s superfruits. Launched in 2005, MonaVie was created by a team of partners with extensive backgrounds in the direct selling industry and with health products. Cumulative sales topped $1 billion in 2008, and MonaVie now operates in 10 countries, with international expansion continuing.

“When Henry Marsh, Randy Larsen and I sat down at a kitchen table back in 2004 and literally dreamed up MonaVie from our hearts and minds, we knew we wanted to create a global business with a spirit of abundance and giving back,” says MonaVie Founder, Chairman and CEO Dallin A. Larsen. “Being named to this list — and ranking No. 1 in our Food and Beverage Category — is a testament to dreaming big and working hard. In a short four and a half years, we have built a company that has generated what is quickly approaching $2 billion in cumulative sales. We are now perfectly positioned to expand around the world as well as throughout the United States. Considering that many other successful direct selling companies are thirty and forty years old and older, reminds me that at MonaVie, we are still in the infancy stage of our business. I believe our momentum will continue for the next several decades.”

State senator linked to firm sued by FTC

noreply@blogger.com (Dave Stone) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:12:00 +0000

Houston Chronicle

As many as 300 people became participants in a pyramid scheme in 2006 and 2007 at the behest of San Antonio state Sen. Jeff Wentworth, who said he believed the company involved was a legal marketing firm.

Wentworth, R-San Antonio, on Thursday said his income tax returns for 2006 show he made less than $1,000 while working as an “independent contractor” for an Internet digital music sales company called BurnLounge.

The Federal Trade Commission shut BurnLounge down in 2007 with a federal lawsuit accusing the company, its chief executive and its top three money-producing promoters of running a pyramid scheme. No criminal charges were brought in the case.

“BurnLounge is operating a pyramid scheme. Such schemes have an intolerable capacity to mislead,” the FTC said in its lawsuit.

“That's news to me,” Wentworth said Thursday.

BurnLounge began in 2005 as a digital music store that allowed people to buy in as retailers for as little as $29.95. The company claimed as many as 50,000 retailers and included associations with celebrities such as singer Justin Timberlake.

Max International to Open Operations in the Philippines

noreply@blogger.com (David Stone) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:13:00 +0000

Max International, the direct-sales company that introduced MaxGXL® two years ago, is soon to open operations in the Philippines and welcomes its independent distributors and guests to a special Grand Launch on Saturday, August 1, at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

This expansion represents Max's third market, after the United States and Canada.

"The Philippines is an important expansion for us for a number of reasons," said Peter Nordberg, chief executive officer. "First, more Google searches for glutathione are done in the Philippines than anywhere else in the world. Second, it helps us establish a base of operations for future expansion in Asia. Third, Filipinos are widely dispersed throughout the world, so getting started in the home country will really spread word of our company."
