Alan Shawn Feinstein

I live in Rhode Island.  To most people in this state, the "named" in this post is well known.  He gives significant amounts of money to education and then requires schools be named after him.  He still advertises on TV promoting his foundation and philanthropic efforts.  His career has not been without controversy, but overall he is perceived as a good man with a lot of money who attempts to do good in the world. You can look up his Wiki.

The interesting thing here is how this "self-made" man garnered his wealth?  Among being a stamp trader and buying and selling (the physical) Babe Ruth's contract - a significant percentage of his money came from selling a subscription to newsletters.  One was called "The Wealth Maker", and another called "International Insider's Report".  He also wrote booklets called, "How To Make Money" and "How to Make Money Fast".

So what does this have to do with what we do?  It is reported that Feinstein, at his peak, had a circulation / subscription of about 400,000 (a month).  To get to this number, he bought lists from brokers and did direct mail marketing, he also advertised in magazines... (Neither of these we do or advocate).

Although I have not been able to find the number, for illustration purposes, let's say his subscription was $10 a month.  For the time it lasted, that is $4 million a month.  These are lofty numbers and explain why he can give money away in million dollar chunks.  Thirty-six million a year spells success by anyone's standard.

What we do is completely parallel. We provide the structure (the platform) that enables you to market a subscription.  However, instead of having a 400K subscriber base, you need the participation of about 30 people.  Or, to tweak this just a bit, most people need 30 people to replace their income.

The question very simply becomes, "Do you think there are 30 people in this world (who you, along with those in your group can find) that are seeking to change their financial circumstances?"  We explain the money and how it works in the next step of your research.  However, suffice it to say, the monthly commitment is a "sweet spot" of affordability and the out-of-pocket risk is minimal if you get busy and treat your business as a business.

Get back to the person who led you here.  Find out more.  Find out all you can.  Decisions are a function of information.  The information is free.  Your life, your future, your happiness could be in the balance.  All we ask at this juncture is that you do your homework, then decide if it might be a potential "fit".
