April Payments Completed
Cheque, Bacs and Paypal processing is now complete and for those of you who reached the minimum payout of £20 in April you should have recived your payment. Whenever we process payments there are always a few members who we are unable to pay because we do not have a full UK postal address (including Postcode) on file. Please login to your admin areas and ensure that we have the correct details by clicking the ‘Account’ icon and updating your details if necessary so that we are able to pay you when a payment is due to you. Can I also remind you that we now offer payment direct to your bank account via BACS which is more secure, faster and FREE. If you choose payment by cheque we will deduct a payment processing fee of £1.00
Direct Selling Association

At last I am pleased to report that Ei42 is now included on the DSA’s website as a 'prospective member'. In the case of the DSA ‘Prospective’ means that we have been elected to the DSA and are simply awaiting the compliance audit that precedes our transition to full membership. For those of you that use Ei42 as a business opportunity as well as a money saving tool I am sure you will see the huge benefits that this adds to Ei42 in terms of credibility. After the final audit when we move to Full DSA members we will be able to include the DSA and the governments OFT (Office of Fair Trading) logos on Ei42.

UK Growth Steps up a Gear

Membership in the UK more than doubled last week as compared to teh previous week and although it is clear that members are watching the purse strings and spending less than they were a year ago, there is no doubt that the safety in numbers rule is hard at work within Ei42. Put simply, even though the average spend per user per month is lower when we compare April 2008 with April 2009 due to the size and strength of our membership the month on month spend continues to rise.
Ei42 in the USA
For those of you who are actively promoting to friends in the USA, I wanted to let you know that I do not intend to provide regular weekly updates on the growth of USA within this newsletter which is aimed at UK members. You will all see your own statistics in your admin areas and can monitor your own performance as you see fit. Suffice to say that although USA got of to a subdued start we can see the wheels now beginning to turn and the numbers are increasing steadily. At the moment (as was the case with the UK in the early days weeks and months) the actual customer spend is very low. This is no big surprise given the state of the USA economy at the moment. However, as Ei42 USA continues to grow its membership even if you do not see financial reward at the moment there is no doubt that as our respective economies improve and as we approach Christmas the numbers that are building now will convert to financial rewards for everyone involved. Always remember that Ei42 is not a get rich quick scheme. Real businesses never are.
More Announcements
In next Monday’s newsletter I will have at least two exciting announcements for you so I look forward to writing to you then.
That’s all for this week.

I wish you continued success with Ei42
Best Regards
