Review

Hello Everybody
I haven't written in such a long time. I have been learning about the company and the products and wanted to share with you the wonderful products that I have ordered and tried and fell in love with. In the past week I received my Market America package and in it was the following: Awake (energy drinks), B-Complex, OPC-3, Skintelligence (face wash and moisturizer), and their cleaners.
I love everything that I have tried so far. I'm going to start off with their energy drinks. I am a mother of two boys and they wear me out like no other. My youngest is 1 and still wakes up in the middle of the night wanting a bottle of milk. I don't get my full 9 or even 6 hours of sleep so I am the perfect candidate to try out their energy drinks. I had one for the first time and they worked like magic. Awake gave me so much energy that I was able to do some gardening, make dinner, clean, and even go for a run at the end of the day. I usually never have that much energy at all. I loved the energy drink not only because it gave me energy, but because it is full of vitamins and minerals and is good for you.
The other product that I fell in love with is their face wash and moisturizer. Skintelligence has helped keep my breakouts at bay. I usually break out right before my period and it's the painful cystic acne. It really has helped with it I have gotten fewer breakouts this month because I have been using this line. Another issue I had with my skin would be that every face wash I used it really dried my skin up and made it very red, and I have had no problem with over excessive drying and redness.
The cleaners also work amazing with cleaning up every day messes and spot treating laundry. Their deep cleaner is not specifically meant for laundry and pre-treating stains but someone gave me the tip to try on very set in stains, and it magically worked. To pretreat very set in stains you spray the deep cleaner on to the stain and leave it in for 5-10 minutes and throw it in the wash. The stains that I sprayed were gone.
I hope you loved the products as much as I did.

10 Things to Stop Doing on Facebook. Right. Now.

on April 8, 2013

If you use Facebook (and we hope that you do), you’ve probably witnessed your friends doing some pretty annoying or embarrassing things. But what if you’re the one who is committing serious Facebook offenses without even knowing it? Here’s our list of 10 things you need to stop doing right now on Facebook.

Liking your own postsIf you post something on Facebook, whether it’s a photo of your family or a status about your awesome weekend, we already know you like it because you posted it. You don’t have to tell usagain that you like what you posted. While liking your own posts isn’t a major offense, it does make you look like a novice.

Tagging people in photos they’re not inIts one thing to accidentally tag someone in a photo when you meant to tag someone else, but it’s a whole different ball game when you purposely tag people who aren’t in a photo at all. Whether you do this to get more likes, or so that more people will see the photo, the only thing you will accomplish is ticking a lot of people off.

Sending mass messagesSending out mass messages, regardless of what the message is about, will label you as a spammer. If you want to send a private message on Facebook, you must personalize it so the recipient knows that you took the time to write it. Also, think about the person receiving your message: will the content of your message apply to them? If you send a message to someone who it won’t apply to, they’re going to think you’re going through your list of friends and sending each one the same message.

Sending out mass event invitesLet’s say you created a Facebook event for your next Motives® party. Great! But let’s also say that you invited everyone you’re Facebook friends with to the party, rather than just those who would be interested in attending. Not so great. And to top it off, you do this every single time you have an event. Please stop! When you invite people who either a) don’t live in your area, b) aren’t interested in cosmetics in the least, or c) wouldn’t attend for whatever other reason, you’re becoming more and more defriendable. People don’t like receiving invite notifications to things they can’t or wouldn’t go to. The next time you create a Facebook event, please make sure that you only invite people who could or would actually go.

TYPING IN ALL CAPS. ALL. THE. TIME.TO US, TYPING IN ALL CAPS ON FACEBOOK IS LIKE YELLING ALL THE TIME IN REAL LIFE. Do you see what I mean? If you think that typing in all caps will get your comment noticed, you’re right, but you’ll get noticed for all the wrong reasons. Not to mention that it makes you look silly and/or really, really angry all the time. If you want to accent a post, consider typing ONE word in all caps to draw attention.

Friending people you don’t know or have no connection toFriending people you don’t know can potentially label you as a “creeper”. If you must friend someone you haven’t met in real life, make sure you send them a message detailing why you are requesting them as a friend. If you are practicing social searching and looking for new business contacts or customers, it’s okay to message people you don’t know (in moderation!), but don’t ‘friend’ them until you have gotten a response.

Being negative and complaining about everythingYou attract what you put out, right? So why would you use Facebook as a platform to complain about everything all the time? No one likes a complainer or a whiner. Keep it positive, people!

Using Facebook to sell, sell, sell!Repeat after me: My Facebook profile is not a billboard for my business. My friends do not want to be sold to. I promise to post more about my life, my hobbies, my lifestyle, my family, and my friends than my business. I will not post links to my portal on my friends’ pages, on brand pages, or anywhere else unless someone has asked me to do so, because it’s a waste of my time and I will be labeled as a spammer.

Not being socialIf you think you’re “doing enough” by just posting to your timeline and not engaging with others, you’re wrong. A huge part of social media is about being social (surprise!), so if you want people to care about what you post, you’re going to have to engage with them, too. Engagement means: liking a status, commenting on a photo, posting on a friends wall.

App requestsIf you play Farmville or other popular Facebook games in your free time, play on! However, just as it’s irritating to receive group messages and invitations, it also can be irritating to click through lots of game requests and notifications. If your friends want to play Facebook games, let them do it on their own terms.

While it’s not easy to admit that you’re guilty of committing any one of these, the important thing is that you learn from your mistakes! Now it’s your turn: comment with any additional “Facebook offenses” you would like to add to our list.

How to get attention on facebook for your business

 
Social Media has been a great tool to advertise your business and the way we word our statuses to get our potential clients is very important. Research has revealed that a single word can make the difference. You click on a headline often times because a word strikes you or you click sign up because a word creates an emotion.
 A quick Google search can reveal pages of results for persuasive and powerful words. There's no trouble finding them : there's sometimes trouble applying them. The 5 most persuasive words in the English language are
- You
-Free
-Because
-Instantly
-New
The best place to try these words are calls-to-action, headlines, email subject lines, headings, opening sentences and paragraphs.
Do you have any favorite power words that have worked for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Don't give up

Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to market my products but even for me it has been a struggle, and sometimes I just feel like giving up. I love this quote and feel it perfectly describes the situation that I am in.  Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest.

> Social media platforms like Instagram are crucial tools that allow brands
to interact with their customers and fans in a great forum. It’s a critical
aspect of the branding process, and helps brands like Motives Cosmetics
reach new people around the world. Loren and the Motives Mavens have been
working hard to build a massive following for the Motives brand on
Instagram, and it would be the understatement of the year to say they’ve
been successful!
> 
> This time last year the Motives Instagram Account had just a few thousand
followers, but thanks to Loren’s brilliant social media strategy and the
support of our amazing fans, the Motives brand now has over 787,000 loyal
followers on Instagram! As the Motives Instagram page rapidly approaches the
800,000 follower mark, I think it’s important to take a step back to
consider just how big of an impact Motives is making on Instagram.
> 
> Motives may not be as big or as established as legendary cosmetics
companies like L’Oreal, Cover Girl, Estée Lauder, or Lancôme – but that
doesn’t mean we can’t hold our own with them on Instagram. Not only does
Motives Cosmetics have a larger following than each of these incredible
cosmetics companies, but we have a larger following on Instagram than all of
these companies COMBINED!
> 
> In fact, we took a closer look at the top ten global beauty brands in the
world, and what we found might shock you. As you can see in the list below,
the top ten global beauty brands are huge companies that have been around
for years and have generated billions in revenue. These are the biggest
players in the world in terms of cosmetics and beauty, but they can’t hold a
candle to Motives’ success on Instagram*:
> 
> 1) L’Oreal ($10.766 Billion) 195,303 total followers on Instagram
> 2) AVON ($6.384 Billion) 76,842 total followers on Instagram
> 3) Pantene ($6.163 Billion) 8,043 total followers on Instagram
> 4) Nivea ($6.079 Billion) 18,095 total followers on Instagram
> 5) Dove ($5.885 Billion) 11,679 total followers on Instagram
> 6) Garnier ($4.809 Billion) 11,470 total followers on Instagram
> 7) Estée Lauder ($4.589 Billion) 145,176 total followers on Instagram
> 8) Lancôme ($4.088 Billion) 199,814 total followers on Instagram
> 9) Olay ($4.083 Billion) 10,245 total followers on Instagram
> 10) Johnson’s ($3.603 Billion) does not use Instagram
> 
> As you can see, if you combined the Instagram followings for all of the
top ten global beauty brands they still fall short of Motives’ massive
following by over 100,000 people!
> 
> Right now, Motives has the fourth largest following of any U.S. cosmetics
brand on Instagram, beating out huge companies like AVON, Estée Lauder,
Olay, Maybelline, Cover Girl, Max Factor, Clinique, Urban Decay, Mary Kay,
and Revlon. When we say that Motives Cosmetics is the hottest brand on the
internet – now you know what we are talking about!
> 
> This is absolutely phenomenal exposure for us and is a testament to the
incredible power of social media and Motives Cosmetics. Not only has our
brand gone viral, but our massive success on Instagram has resulted in
hundreds of new Motives Consultants and UnFranchise Owners. Thanks to all
the Motives fans who support and engage with us on Instagram – without you
none of this is possible!
> 
> If you’re not following Motives Cosmetics on Instagram, you’re missing out
on the hottest cosmetics brand in the world!
> 
> Keep Growing!
