The level of interest in Ei42 is growing by the day and we are expecting a major amount of publicity will be coming our way very soon. We want to make sure that every member is able to take advantage of any publicity that we receive but we are especially keen to help and support everyone involved in raising money for good causes.

Congratulations – Is this You?
We always protect our members privacy so I cannot name any names but whilst reviewing the March statistics this week I noticed that there are many members who seem to have forgotten about Ei42, maybe they joined, did a little and forgot about it, maybe they are just busy with other things right now? Well, let me tell you that it’s time to wake up people!
There are dozens of examples like these 3, is one of them YOU? These people have not logged into their accounts since March so they are in for a shock when the payment run is processed this week.
These members who are totally unconnected only joined in March
Member A: Told 3 friends about Ei42 and now has a team of 1064
Member B: Told 15 friends about Ei42 and now has a team of 919
Member C: Told 28 friends about Ei42 and now has a team of 892
Ei42 is the best free opportunity in the UK today and it will always be FREE so do not miss out. People (including me) dismissed Twitter when it launched two years ago and now there is talk of it being bought by Google. Which brings us nicely on to Twitter....
Ei42 on Twitter

Yes, it’s finally happened. You will now find Ei42 on Twitter. Our immediate plans for Twitter are that it will be initially a one way street. That is to say that you can follow us to keep up to date with the latest information direct from the horse’s mouth so to speak. As a result we will not be (initially at least) following you back.
We have 2 Twitter ID’s
Ei42_HQ On this account we will send out general information, for example we will send out a Tweet every time we update commissions. In the future we will extend this information to include details of any planned or in progress development.
Ei42_UK_Offers On this account we will send out the latest deals and offers from retailers that you will find on your Ei42 shop. If any offer interests you then simply go to your Ei42 shop and click through to the retailer in question using any offer codes as appropriate. 
That’s all for this week.

I wish you continued success with Ei42
Best Regards

Paid Advertising
For a long time now many members have been asking for clarification on how and where they can advertise the Ei42 opportunity. Our terms stated that no paid online advertising was allowed. After much soul searching and serious consideration I have decided to lift this restriction with immediate effect. Naturally there are some things that you should be made aware of before you rush out and spend your hard earned money on advertising. Some of these are from me personally, some are legal issues and some are just good to know.

• Do not spend any money on advertising if you cannot afford to lose it. Advertising does not come with a money back guarantee.
• Only advertise the Ei42 business opportunity not the shops on Ei42.
• Before you start any campaign such as Google Ads make sure you read everything and understand how it works. Remember that reading and learning is free.
• When advertising on the web at places such as Google, Yahoo, Microsoft you cannot and should not promote 3rd party brands. For example you would not be allowed to say...

“Get cashback at Tesco, Asda, PC World, Argos and earn money with Ei42”
The use of brand names in this way is not allowed and anyway it’s a really bad idea because you will simply find that people who are looking for those brands will just click your ads and waste all of your advertising budget by clicking your advert when all they really want is to visit Tesco.
Initially we are allowing bidding on our brand name ‘Ei42’ however you must not use the dispaly URL of Ei42.com, naturally we reserve the right to change this with the usual 30 days notice.
Henry Ford said a very wise thing about the money he spent on advertising, he said “I waste half of the money I spend on advertising – the trouble is I don’t know which half” this statement is as true today as it ever was, but with advertising on the likes of Google you can gain much more insight into what works and what doesn't than Mr Ford could ever have dreamed of.
Please Note: We are unable to offer any help and advice on how Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Ads or similar works. Every company involved has detailed explanations. As I mentioned above you simply need to be prepared to read and learn.
Twitter

Having resisted the press babble about Twitter for almost 2 years we have been experimenting with how it might help us all with Ei42. I am aware that there are several Twitter groups but none of them are official. Next week I will announce our plans for the use of Twitter from Ei42 HQ.

That’s all for this week.

I wish you continued success with Ei42

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

You can share Ei42 with your friends and earn even more commission. As with everything we do at Ei42 it's entirely your choice. You can either get yourself a free Ei42 shop and simply use it whenever you want to buy anything and you will earn personal commissions or if you wish you can tell your friends how they can save money and earn additional income from team commissions.
Many companies such as Sky TV, Orange and others pay you a commission to refer a friend to them, and of course you will be aware of supermarket loyalty cards. Ei42 works by combining both of these ideas.
With other loyalty schemes your earnings are limited by the amount you personally spend but with Ei42 those limits don't exist because your team of friends is getting bigger every day.
Every time you refer a friend to Ei42 you help us to grow our business because every new friend adds a new shop to the Ei42 shopping network. More shops equals more sales and more profits that you can share in.

The Commission Plan is open to all members of Ei42, there is no qualification criteria and no commitment to buy anything. The same opportunity is available to everyone for Free.

You can earn two types of commission:

Personal Commission

When you make a purchase through your Ei42 shop you will receive a cashback commission.

Team Commission

When you share Ei42 with your friends you automatically qualify to earn a percentage of the commissions generated from the savings made by your whole team.

ei42 newsletter Monday 4 May 2009

Welcome back to what will now once again become a regular weekly newsletter.

I must apologise for the lack of recent contact but as I am sure you can appreciate things have been very hectic over the past few weeks with the launch of Ei42 into the USA and with the many other rather smaller but nonetheless significant improvements that we have been making.

I feel that we are now at a point in the development of Ei42 that we are polishing rather than building. This is a great position to be in because it is a clear indication on how far we have come in a little over a year and of how robust the platform that powers your Ei42 shopping network is.

So let’s start today’s newsletter by pointing out some of the polishing that we have been carrying out since the launch of Ei42 USA.

In your Admin Area (Click ADMIN from your Ei42 shop to access this)
You will now see your username, account number and joining date clearly displayed just below the welcome line after you login. You will also see there are now 4 referral URL’s available for you to use when telling your friends about Ei42. Next to each of the 4 URL’s you will see an information icon, simply hover your mouse over the icon for information on what each URL does.

New ‘SHOP’ URL
Some members had asked for the ability to promote their shops without the ability to show commissions or referral links. Naturally the best way to build Ei42 is by referral however there are clearly occasions where it may be advantageous for you to be able to promote a simple ‘shop’ and so we have made this feature available to you. You can access your ‘shop only’ version of Ei42 by simply appending /shop to your master URL. In your case you will find you shop here
http://www.ei42.com/johnt//shop

Members Per Country
When you view friends from your admin area you will now see your membership numbers split and displayed by Country.

New Flash ‘How Ei42 Works’ Movie
If you have not recently visited the homepage of Ei42 can I suggest that you take a fresh look and check out the simple, short explanation on the power of Ei42. Simply go to www.Ei42.com and click the big PLAY button that you will find right in the middle of the screen. This is a great new tool for when you send new potential members to Ei42 as it helps them quickly understand the power of the social networking aspect of Ei42. For those of you who run your own websites after watching the movie you can grab the code to allow you to embed it into your own website should you wish to do so.

What’s next for Ei42?
With the UK and global economies not experiencing the best of times it is inevitable that sales overall in the high street and online may continue to fall for some time yet. It’s important to remember though that not everyone is feeling the credit crunch and the safety in numbers that comes along with being part of Ei42 multiplies the power of your own spending. One of the joys of Ei42 is that whatever happens in the general broader economy the fact is that Ei42 WILL be bigger tomorrow than it was yesterday. This is nothing to do with multi country Ei42, it’s just a simple fact that cannot be ignored. Some of you who have either not told any or not told many friends about Ei42 will not be seeing what is happening as Ei42 continues to grow exponentially. I urge you that if you are one of the people who is yet to ‘Tell a Friend’ about Ei42 that you do it now before someone else tells ‘YOUR’ friends.

USA
Some members have contacted me this week and said “we don’t know anyone in the USA” and asked for my response on this. My answer is simple ‘it doesn’t matter’ If you know people in the USA tell them about Ei42. If you do not know anyone in the USA then do not worry about it. There are about 30 million adults in the UK that are NOT members of Ei42 so I urge EVERYONE to continue to tell your UK friends about Ei42. In the scheme of things nobody knows about Ei42 yet which gives every one of you existing members enormous potential for growth right here in the UK.

Finally, if you don’t fully understand or have not had the commission plan explained to you can I ask that you download it now and allocate yourself 10 to 15 minutes to read through it and understand how powerful the plan is. You’ll find the commission plan here

That’s all for this week.

I wish you continued success with Ei42
