ZeekRewards and Zeekler has received a lot of attention recently, in fact more attention I’m sure than that was expected when the company started the affiliate marketing company in early 2011. The question that any person may first ask is ZeekRewards and Zeekler a legitimate business? I myself personally won’t take another persons word without researching a business first. First and foremost ZeekRewards/Zeekler is a completely online based company, which ultimately means there needs to be statistics to backup the company proving that there really is traffic going to both sites (ZeekRewards.com and Zeekler.com)

First keep in mind that Zeekler and ZeekRewards is part of Rex Venture Group LLC launched in 1997 as a Free Store Club. To date there are already 3 million customers and the company is completely  debt free and based in the good ol’ United States of America (Lexington North Carolina). What makes Zeek Rewards and Zeekler Penny auctions reputable? What data or statistics can be provided to back the company up?

Simple, Alexa ratings. For those who aren’t sure how Alexa works it basically ranks every evaluated website from 1 to millions on how popular a site is measuring: visits,  return visitors, search query etc.. So in short the lower a number represents a better ranking and overall reputation. Google being #1, Facebook #2 and so on…. I have found that any site with an Alexa ranking under 10,000 is very reputable and receives high amounts of traffic, ultimately traffic is equivalent to profit in some form or another, usually through advertising.

Zeek Rewards Alexa Rating: May 12, 2012

Above shows the growth of Zeek Rewards which is the marketing arm/affiliate program of Zeekler Penny Auction. The growth is very steady, the small spikes are due to bandwidth limitation the company has faced with such rapid growth in a short period of time. I remember starting in early February of 2012 and the Alexa Ranking was in the mid-800′s. In such a short period of time ZeekRewards has literally worked its way up past top sites like: NBC.com, CBS.com and even Pandora.com.

What exactly makes Alexa so reputable? First it’s a third party site that shows statistics, reviews and more.  Think of any major website and you can see the growth, what people search to get to the site and how many other sites are linking in. If Alexa isn’t quite good enough for you then maybe a little more research is required, and trust me- more research is what I did.

Any legitimate company must have a solid business model that absolutely is bullet-proof. A solid business model is exactly what Zeek keeps in mind. Everything about the company makes sense, compliance, compliance- you may hear a lot about compliance being in ZeekRewards. Compliance is a good thing, even though you may constantly hear affiliates say Do this or Don’t do this. Kevin Grimes is the MLM attorney who is on board with ZeekRewards, simply because there is a wrong way to do business and of course there are right ways.

Every business has compliance, and believe me rules and regulations are a must to keep a sustainable business. Just like we as citizens follow the law, but when the law is broken we are faced with the consequences. Kevin Grimes teaches the online compliance course that is mandatory for U.S affiliates in your back office, watching this course will give you a great overview of Zeeks goals. Also on board with compliance we have: Gerald Nehra & Richard Waak – Hired to ensure compliance in all aspects. The above listed names may or may not sound familiar, if not I recommend doing a little research on the individuals.

Important Individuals in Zeek Rewards:

Dr. Keith Laggos – Hired to review and modify Zeek compensation plan
Greg Caldwell – WhiteHat Solutions aka Direct Sales Compliance to fight the cyber fraud and compliance issues.
Bonefant & Weinberg – SEC and MLM Attorneys hired to cover all Securities and Exchange Commission compliance
Howard Kaplan – Tax Attorney and IRS Specialist to handle all tax compliance
All Commissions are paid out of current sales revenues! Zeek Rewards Retail Point Pool consists of nothing but its current daily net, without absolutely nothing obligated from future revenues. (Zeek also has the largest consumer to affiliate/distributor ratio – see below)

According to Network Marketing Business Journal Zeek Rewards has a 25 to 1 customers to rep ratio!

How Zeekler Penny Auction Makes Profit.

Zeekler

Any legitimate company needs to have a product. Let’s look at some other MLM or Multi-Level Marketing companies. Amway for example has been around for a while, is a product involved? Yes. What about USANA? Yes. Zeekler.. Yes, absolutely. In fact without a product how can there be profits? A company without a product is nothing but a Ponzi-Scheme where money is earned at the top by new affiliates. This is also an illegal pyramid. Zeeklers products consist of bids and membership through the FSC or Free Store Club. Let’s take a look to see how a penny auction works:

Each bid costs anywhere from $0.65 to $1.00. These bids are non-refundable which means bid wisely! Every bid raises the item at auction one penny. Every product starts at $0.00.  Let’s say that somebody made the final bid on an Ipad2 and won it for $18.00 that is the same as 1800 bids. 1800 x $0.65 which equals: $1,170. We all know that an Ipad 2 doesn’t cost $1,170. Ultimately what happens next is all profit from the actual cost of the Ipad2. At that point and time the company takes 50% and the remaining 50% is matched with qualifying affiliates.

In short you can see that penny auctions are very profitable. They are actually very fun and addicting.

How ZeekRewards Works

Zeek Rewards is the marketing side for Zeekler Penny Auctions. As affiliates we become advertisers for the penny auction. By posting one advertisement a day we become qualified for cash rewards. As advertisers we advertise in various classifieds websites, a recommended list is provided but you are of course not limited just to the list provided. Advertising ultimately increases traffic and profits to the Penny Auction website.

How Valuable is Advertising?

Let’s take a company like Wal-Mart for example, or perhaps plug in any major company of your choice. Let’s say that Wal-Mart let people like you and I advertise on a daily basis (we already do for free with word of mouth) Let’s say that every time we referred at least one customer to Wal-Mart and at the end of the day Wal-Mart would split 50% of its profits with everyone who advertised for them, would you be willing to do that? The fact is major companies spend not millions but BILLIONS of dollars a year on advertising, and why is that? Advertising, no matter how big your company is required in order to stay ahead of your competition and believe me, every company loves free advertising.

Think of the last time you recommended a product to your friend, any product. Perhaps it was an Iphone 4s or maybe that new fancy laptop everybody wants. Does Apple pay you for referring customers to the store? Does 20th Century Fox pay you for recommending that hot new movie that made millions at the box office? I didn’t think so…

So hopefully by now you can evaluate everything once more and see that ZeekRewards is a legitimate business to earn some extra income.

So what about the real world? Everyday we wish we could change something, maybe a different car in the driveway or perhaps a little extra money to get us by? Any avid Photoshop user wishes they could make the difference with the power of a few simple tools, and why shouldn’t they?

Here are some awesome pictures done in Photoshop in a post we call “Photoshopping the Real World” -Enjoy.

Most of the ideas come from his daughters – eight-year-old Kristin and five-year-old Kayla. Jason says that they are never-ending source of ideas.

Belgian painter Ben Heine has been taking photos and drawing almost since he was 10 years old. This “Pencil Vs Camera” series is nothing but the result of several years of graphic exploration and a logic consequence of his artistic evolution, says Ben. But the real idea came while he was watching television and writing a letter at the same time.

Reading my letter before putting it in the envelope, I saw in transparency the television behind the paper. I then realized it would be great to make something similar in a single image showing 2 different actions. I went outside and Drew “Pencil  Vs Camera 1″ which is very simple and shows 2 chairs with a small table. About ¼ of the scene is represented on the paper, the other ¾ happens on the photo.

Any type of animal photography requires a great deal of time, patience, and some say luck…and this is where the debate starts. What part does luck play in photography? Today we have to display 50 of the most extraordinary photos of animals caught on camera- yes literally picture perfect moments that you would have only thought to been photoshopped by a professional.

The following are just perfectly timed animal photos that may just leave your jaw hanging a bit. Hope you enjoy and please share the love!

Why are so many of us set on the ways of the “Corporate world” that we are afraid to try new ideas? I
know, I was the same way a few months ago—but I can proudly say I broke away from that cycle. Let’s break it down statistically; there are four types of people in today’s corporate world. This analysis is taken from Robert Kiyosaki author of the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. His synopsis of today’s working class is demonstrated in what I believed to be an excellent model he called the Cash Flow Quadrant.

Kiyosaki’ model is made up of four categories: employees, self-employed, investors, and business people.

Here are general descriptions of the categories of the Kiyosaki’s model.

1. Employees: Over the course of most of our lives, we along with our parents and grandparents have worked for some form of a corporation—whether it was something we enjoyed doing or it was simply another job for a pay check even though we “dreaded” do that particular job.

With this synopsis, here’s a scenario to consider (Scenario A):
Why do we work so hard and for a good majority of our lives work for a Corporation that places very
little value on us as basic individuals. Of course, I’m speaking about most companies in this scenario.
Perhaps this is all we are accustomed to and for some of us, it might be the only thing we know. How
many people is actually “successful” working for large Corporations? How many of us actually and/or realistically plan on getting promoted to an executive position within a company? I for one don’t plan on working for a company unless I have the potential to move up. Who is to say the next guy is not more qualified than you or I? Why should I devote greater than 9 years of my life in a company that I don’t really like and quite possibly, just maybe, by the slimmest of margins perhaps one day get a promotion?

2. Self-Employed: Generally speaking, these groups of people are self-starters and most often work independently. Self-employed people are reliable, tenacious, and extremely independent—however, they don’t work well with others. Self-Employed typically are successful to
some degree but fail to maximize their full potential because they don’t utilize all of the resources that are available to them.

Scenario B: As the axiom goes, “two heads are better than one” and this is certainly true—can a
business really succeed with just one person? At least can a strong business? I think not.

3. Investors: These groups of people let money work for them through sound and smart investment—these include stocks, 401k, IRA, bonds, mutual funds, etc. What if I tell you, you could go to the gym just one day per week workout for 30 minutes, and you would never have to work-out again because that single work-out will continue to burn calories and fat for the rest of your life? That would sound splendid right? Investors let their money work hard for them; this of course involves choosing the right business and through due-diligence research.

Scenario C: Bottom-line, money can work hard for you!

4. Business: Plain and simple. Business people understand the concept of business, hire the most
successful, reliable, and motivated people to run their businesses. Business entrepreneurs understand that by having the right people, businesses will ultimately succeed because of good management skills (it makes more sense to build your own business than to work for a corporation for the rest of your life). Can you honestly pass down a business you’ll never own to your kids? Probably not. So why are you working for something you’ll never own?

Why Network Marketing is the Business of Today

Have you ever wanted to start your own business? Have you ever thought about being your own boss and breaking the chain of that everyday 9 to 5 job and move away from the Corporate world? I know I have. How many of us know of  a business where you can start for under $500 and be successful? The answer is really in front of us—it’s called Network Marketing and Direct Selling.

In a legitimate network marketing company or multi-level marketing you are ten times more likely to succeed and make over $100,000  than you are at your “life-sucking” job. That’s right… ten times more likely! Now you may be laughing and asking yourself “if that’s the case, then why aren’t more
people doing network marketing?”

Simple: This is attributed to the lack of knowledge, lack of dedication, lack of motivation—in fact, people who are “set on the ways” of working for the rest of their lives in a company they will never own or there is no room for growth will never achieve much success in life. And a lot of these people are not willing to break away from the monotony and try something new.

How do I know this? Because I was the same way. I was given the opportunity by a good friend at work to join a business opportunity and succeed. Originally it was introduce to me and I had no interest, in fact I didn’t even want to try because I am probably just like you- the reader, not willing to try something new. Any network marketing or multi-level marketing business looks like  just another “Ponzi scheme” another fake “get-rich-now” deal. And you know what I found out, I couldn’t be more wrong!

Why? What, Wrong- Yes Completely Wrong! A month later I decided I would do it. Why not? Do I reallyhave much to lose? I honestly show up to work each and every day and dedicate (throw away nonetheless to say) 8 hours of my life working for something I don’t even like and for something I’ll never even own. Now ask yourself, what is really the bigger pyramid?

The Reality of The Situations is This:

I am just an average person like you; I work hard for my money. You may be just like me doing
something you don’t even like, and why should you?

What I thought would be the biggest mistake actually turned out to be the biggest benefit in my life so far. I quickly adapted and learned new business skills as well as having the support from people who wanted to actually see my be successful.

A little over two months later I still hear people who unfortunately lack the knowledge and foresight of a great networking and marketing opportunity.

I laugh! Why should I listen to people who are working for a company they don’t even
own, why should I listen to people who aren’t even successful to say the least, and more importantly
why should I listen to people who don’t even try? It doesn’t make sense to me. And I’m sure that
it doesn’t make sense to you either. Shouldn’t you and I listen to the people who are successful in
business and in life? Shouldn’t we heed and take advice from Investors who know where to put, and
have invested their money wisely? People who have actually made it? My answer is simply yes, I know yours is yes also- if not then enjoy your 9 to 5 day job

In two months I have made more progress doing network marketing and essentially building my own business than I have in the one year working at my life “sucking job.” I’m 20 years old and I AM NOT going to work for a company I will never own!
