FamilyIQ CEO Mark Hobbins speaks on the Dr. Phil Show
For 10 years Mark has been providing the opportunity to average people to become Associates with FamilyIQ but in 2010 was the break through year for the company when Mark played around with the idea to turn FamilyIQ into a top tier program using direct sale arena but more importantly online.
With the help of Rod Stinson, a well known name in the home based business arena, FamilyIQ and Rod create a brand new Compensation plan which in this industry did not exist. But Rod and Mark did not just stop with the compensation plan, they went into building a simple to use marketing system around the opportunity.
Rod Stinson is known for creating systems, simple to use systems and training, where people from all walks of life can come in and put everything to work without all the tech stuff. For an experienced Marketer this alone is genius, because we know how difficult it is for newcomers to get their own business off the ground.
What is the deal with FamilyIQ?
Good question and who better to explain than Mark Hobbins himself…
What about the FamilyIQ Comp Plan?
What makes FamilyIQ comp plan so interesting is the way it was constructed. First of you need to understand that it is a Top Tier Company and in order to become an associate with them it will require an investment of $1,495.00 dollars.
Let’s us break down the numbers a little bit for you so you understand more.
Cost to join: $1,495.00 -with the option of a monthly membership fee, yes I said option, in order to take advantage of all income streams provided by FamilyIQ a monthly membership is required.
Income Stream
#1 A daily $1000 Fast Start Bonus (FSB) paid immediately on the sale of each new Family Builder Package ($1495) . The daily FSB is paid directly to you by your new IBO by Cashier’s Check sent to your designated address. This $1,000 bonus is earned by you on every Family Builder Package that you personally sell.
#2 The Generational FSB is paid each week by FamilyIQ. This bonus is paid down 9 levels on the sale of each new Family Builder Package ($1495) in the following amounts:
Level 1-3 $50
Level 4-9 $24
#3 A monthly 9-Generational Unilevel Bonus paid down 9 levels on all auto orders, ongoing purchases, and retail sales volume.
#4 A monthly Retail Sales profit of up to 50% paid on all products sold to non-member customers at the retail price. FamilyIQ products are sold to non-member customers at the retail price. Retail commissions are equal to the difference between the retail price and the wholesale price of the product. All eligible retail and preferred customer purchases also generate earnings that are applied to the Unilevel Bonus payout equal to 50% of the wholesale product price. For example, a course sold for $40 earns a $20 commission.
To qualify for all income streams it is recommended by FamilyIQ to opt in as a IBO (Independent Business Owner) which comes with a monthly recurring membership fee of $79
One Million Dollar Question:
What about Marketing FamilyIQ?
Very Very good question, and this my favorite part when I write about companies. Most MLM/Direct Sale Companies lack wit providing simple solutions when it comes to marketing an Opportuntiy. As you might know they suggest to write a list of friends and family blah blah blah
Not with FamilyIQ, as I mentioned before Rod Stinson is the master of creating systems around opportunities and he did just that with FamilyIQ. A show and tell system. That is it, nothing techie stuff related, all really simple to work with and simple to handle for anyone not as experienced with internet marketing.
The marketing training continues with the simplicity the same way the marketing system is set up. If you ever heard of the expression “KISS” (Keep It Simple Stupid) this marketing system and training is exactly that.
The marketing training includes strategies like
- Postcard Marketing(yes it still works
- Dial’n Ditch- don’t know this strategy- it is fun and very easy to do
- Ezine Marketing
- Voice broadcasting
- and many more
FamilyIQ , Rod Stinsons Marketing System and my favorite Top Tier/Direct Sale Business Structure got me and my business partner a few days of sleepless nights and we are now proud Members of FamilyIQ. Our team of well known Marketers and the ever growing training we provide makes us even more excited about our decision.

Online Tribes- The Ultimate Web Traffic Strategy
When talking about free web/blog traffic there are numerous ways to do that. But whats also important is that the traffic you are getting to your blog is considered valuable traffic and consists of interactive visitors and share your content all over the place.
Normally you don’t get to many shares if the visitor doesn’t know you yet. It eventually will come, but you still need to have the visitor come back a few more times before he or she will actually share your content. Over the last year or so, the concept of Tribes has come into the picture and it has created a new meaning online.
The purpose of a tribe community is to share members content and building long lasting relationships with fellow bloggers. It is a place where trust and relationships become vital in order for your blog to really take off, not just in the search engines but also throughout the web and within the tribes. There are a few different structured Tribes online right now and I want to dig into 3 Tribes, all of them are a little different.
TRIBE 1
The first tribe I am going to talk about is actually my buddy Jordan Schultz’s Tribe on Facebook. Facebook is a great place to have a tribe and by creating a fan page you as well can have your own tribe. The reason why I picked Jordans tribe is because he is very active within the tribe and so are the tribe members, plus he is a good friend of mine and I want his tribe to grow bigger .
The concept is simple, become a member, post your content on the tribe wall and share other peoples content. Simple right. Now the important part you need to understand in this tribe is that it is build on relationship, meaning don’t wait for your content to get shared , but rather go out and start sharing and commenting on other peoples content/blogs. That way they will turn around and share yours. But if you just post and not share, don’t expect that your stuff gets shared. Remember by sharing other peoples content it is also the beginning of building a relationship with that person and overtime they will share your stuff automatically as soon as they see it posted. Like a friendship trust comes first.

TRIBE 2
Second Tribe, is very dear to my heart because I think my blog would not be where it is now without this community. It is called the TSA Mastery Tribe and it is free. The way Dave and Shawn Cook created and structured the tribe is very interesting. It is based on a honor system and every week Dave creates a new group within a master spreadsheet and he mixes up people. so that every week you share different members content as well as your stuff gets shared by different people as well. The biggest thing is commenting on peoples blogs. Pushing the share button is the easy part, commenting on peoples blog is a little bit more difficult. Well not difficult but you must invest time to do that. But it surely helps if your post gets weekly comments, wouldn’t you agree?
Now the TSA Tribe has a point system and it is based on the honor system and you are in charge of keeping track of your own points. The Members like to see people with points and blog comments because it shows them that they are very active within the community plus if you as a member don’t share at all, you will be kicked out eventually.
Dave Cook and all the other TSA founders are a great bunch of people and they put a lot of effort into the tribe but let me tell you one thing. It is worth being a part of it as long as you are willing to commit to it. Of course you can upgrade your membership, but for now we are talking only about free stuff.

Tribe 3
The third tribe is the flagship of tribes. It is new and the creator Ronney Gauny is a good friend of mine and what a brain he’s got. Believe me when I say, this guy just knows his stuff, building ridiculous sharing plugins within the tribe. This tribe is called TribePro and it is free as well, but has a pro membership level which of course comes with a monthly membership.
So this tribe community is perfect for the busy marketer, because it allows you to fully automate everything if you chose to do so.
When talking about automation I am talking about- submitting your content from your blog to syndicating members content and everything in between on auto pilot. Understand that over time you will find yourself building some strong relationships with members within the community and if you know their content is always valuable you can set it to autoshare and every time that person post whatever -blog post , article, video it really doesn’t matter you will share the content automatically, if you chose to do so. Of course people will do the same if your content is valuable. That is just powerful. So this concept is in my opinion the greatest, because you really can create numerous ways to deliver 1 piece of content and all of your material out there can get shared and if you are smart enough to link everything together with a final destination like your blog, all the content out there is getting promoted and everything links back to your hub. Powerful stuff.
TribePro is working with a point system and it is calculated automatically within the system. In order to post your content you must have enough share points. Works like a charm and people are truly working and sharing within the community.
TribePro is still in beta mode and will be released in February, but already hundreds of people have joined and using the platform.

Remember to bring value to the table. Write your content with that in mind. If you are only here to pitch your opportunity or product.
DON’T JOIN A TRIBE, IT IS WASTE OF YOUR TIME
otherwise have fun watching your blog content getting tons of shares and rise in the rankings.

Crazy Times With The 100 Day Challenge
I want to quickly give you guys a heads up and let you know that the 100 Day Challenge has created a huge buzz around the social networks and so many people contacted us and wanted to be a part of it. Officially we did close the doors over a week ago, but Jordan and Adam reopened it because the responses are just overwhelming.
In the group we have about 130 members and with the opening the doors again, we most likely will hit a ridiculous number of members. Which is awesome because the amount of people will work together to share our content we create on our blogs.
And not just that, with having an assigned running mate you actually will be held accountable for your actions, believe me my running mate is in for a big surprise. LOL But don’t tell him.
