This page is devoted to the details that make up the Free Store Club (FSC) home business opportunity. I have been a member of the Free Store Club for a number of years and recently purchased a Platinum Founder membership. We will discuss the different membership types in detail and exactly why this is a great home business opportunity in the information to follow.
Free Store Club (FSC) Details:
Concept:
The basic concept behind the Free Store Club is to provide the ultimate home business opportunity with guidance and management tools to run your business. The Free Store Club provides two primary ways of making money:
Retail Product Sales
Residual Income from downline upgrades
Extensive training materials and a backoffice called the FSC Boss make getting started and tracking your progress very easy. The Free Store Club also offers a number of third party marketing tools for a fee, which help you jump start your efforts.
Membership types:
Free - Has access to the Retail store and can purchase merchandise for their own use. A Free member can only make money via retail sales and does not participate in the residual income program of the Free Store Club.
Silver
- A Silver member has even lower wholesale prices for the products available in their retail store, and participates in the revenue sharing residual income program, making up to $4000 per week. It will cost you $10 a month to be a Silver member, but it is well worth it given the potential income.
Gold
- Gold store members actually pay the lowest wholesale prices, and can earn up to $12,000 per week in residual income. The monthly fee for Gold members is $50. If you are really serious this is a good place to start.
Platinum
- The Platinum membership is a one time fee of $199 making it actually are really great deal, given that 4 months of the Gold membership equals the one time fee. Platinum members have access to other income earning opportunities and can make as much as $32,000 per week in residual income. Your better off just purchasing the Platinum membership in the very beginning.
Residual Income:
One of the primary ways of making residual income in the Free Store Club is when downline referrals purchase premium memberships (Silver, Gold, or Platinum). Below is a an explanation of how your downline is allocated.
Getting Started
You actually start the machine when you sign up for your Free Store. A position is created for you in the FSC pay system. Each position can have TWO and ONLY TWO store-owner positions directly "down line". Your position will be in the downline of your sponsor, the person who invited you to FSC.
When you start, the two positions directly under you are empty. Those two positions form the beginning of your Left and Right "legs"
Your Marketing Groups
As your sponsor and others up the line from you continue giving away stores, all of their new store owners will go to the bottom left or the bottom right of THEIR organization, which means that some of them may go into YOUR organization. This is called "spillover". Spillover counts the same for you as if the enrollments were made by you personally.
The difference in spillover store owners and store owners that come as a result of your OWN efforts is that spillover store owners will always ALL go to the same side of your chart.
Upon activation at the Gold or Silver level, many storeowners are surprised to learn that they have accumulated a few dozen, even a few HUNDRED other owners on one side or the other, simply because of spillover, though there is no guarantee that will happen.
Each month the system tracks the Silver, Gold, and Platinum memberships in your downlines in each leg of the hierarchy. Once you have 4 on each side you are credited a commission depending on the membership level. So once you have 4 silver members on each side you receive a $10 commission, 4 Gold members on each side and you receive a $50 commission, and 4 Platinum members on each side and you receive a $100 commission. It's a little complicated and I would refer you to my FSC site Pay Plan page for a more lucid explanation.
It should be noted that you can also get residual income from the product sales in your downline. Basically you are awarded points for product purchases as we discussed that accumulate in each leg of our downline. So if you are a Gold store owner and your downline purchases $100 you would receive 1 or 2 Silver points depending on the status of the purchaser.
New Features/Programs at FSC:
One of the newest features of the Free Store Club is called the FSC VIP Cruise Card. This can be purchased or sold for $199. You can earn commissions from selling the card, or use it yourself you get great deals on cruises for you and your family. Check it out at FSC VIP Cruise Card
PROS & CONS
We talked about the Pros and Cons in the Opportunities page Overview for FSC, but it bears repeating.
Pros: multiple sources of income, residual income, long term internet presence, solid ownership, pretty easy to market, fantastic wholesale prices on products, drop shipping to your customers, long term income potential. All in all a very good home based business that allows you to work at home.
Cons: it takes time to build up the business before you start making money. You need to be devoted to marketing FSC to make money.
Summary
It has been my experience that you can make money with a number of different programs, but you need to pick one or two and stick with them. The Free Store Club is a great home business opportunity because it offers a number of ways to make money, and is free to join. The owners of FSC continue to add new money making opportunities and changes to the system, always looking to improve the opportunity.
