After over two years of operation in Spartanburg, S.C., Brasserie Ecosse is closing it’s doors on April 4th after Easter Sunday Brunch service.  But don’t worry.  Chef Steve Leitch isn’t going anywhere.  When the doors reopen on Wednesday April 7th, a new vision will be unleashed:
The Grain Districts most inviting new restaurant & pub….BRAVEHEARTS !

“Bravehearts Restaurant & Pub was created because we believe that there is a market in Spartanburg for a Chef-driven restaurant that serves American & Scottish cuisine made from super-high quality ingredients offered at modest prices.” says the man behind this exciting new launch, Chef Steve Leitch.  “Our home-made menu includes appetizers, salads, soups, burgers, fun desserts and also features traditional Scottish dishes SUCH AS….Shepherds Pie, Scotch eggs, Fish n Chips, etc.  We have an extensive list of beers from around the world, an extremely popular wine list, cocktails, cordials and a tasty, yet inexpensive Kids Menu.”

Bravehearts Restaurant & Pub can be described as “Come-As-You-Are Casual Dining”.  The atmosphere will be comfortable & illuminating, but also suitable for special occasions. Our restaurant will feature an open kitchen, tartan stage & walls, a lounge atmosphere with comfortable booths and other warm elements reminiscent of a new Scottish public house.

Chef Steve’s vision in creating this new jewel in the heart of Spartanburg is to provide comforting, creative Scottish-American food, patron-friendly entertainment & out-of-this-world service, one meal & one patron at a time. Based upon what he and his staff have been able to do at Brasserie Ecosse, we have no doubt this NEXT project will be a major success!  Bravehearts will be located at 149 S. Daniel Morgan Ave. in Spartanburg, S.C.  For more information, call 864-583-7900.

With the launch of JustBeenPaid, the online marketing arena will be changed forever.  This has been a long time in the making.  Below are some key points about this program.

This is a “no sponsoring” program.  For anyone who doesn’t like to sponsor people or recruit, they have the option of purchasing their referrals from a pool where participants have already paid the initial $5 payment to the administrator.  This is much better than free signup programs that are all over the internet due to the 70% upgrade rate seen by JustBeenPaid.

The breakthrough feeder system allows members to buy their first level downline members starting at only $5 each. These members have already joined the feeder and have made the first of two JustBeenPaid upgrade payments.  (The fact that they’ve started the upgrade process by making their first payments makes the chances high that they’ll make their second upgrade payments.)

The cost to join JBP is only $20.00.  Sponsor or purchase just 2 people to be in profit.  JBP is THE program the industry has been waiting for.  It enables members to earn passively if they don’t want to recruit or sponsor.

You can get paid indefinite wide x indefinite deep.  Everyone’s 3rd referral is passed up.  This is the piece of the puzzle that equates to the long term residual income that most people are looking for in a traditional MLM business.  JustBeenPaid also has a High Performance Bonus where every 10th sale of members on your first level is also passed up to you. This provides a major incentive to recruit High Performers.

I could go on and on, but I’ll just leave you with this.  JustBeenPaid is one of the few companies that allows you to gradually or agressively build an income online.  Based on their matrix, you could be earning thousands by your sixteenth week if not sooner.  This evening, I participated in a webinar conducted by the leaders of the company and I can honestly say that they are credible and have our best interests in mind with this program from top to bottom.  I would recommend that you join today by visiting http://www.justbeenpaid.biz Greg Tucker

What’s the difference between a static website and and Interactive one? You have to drive people to your static site which lists your products, location, contact info, etc. using whatever marketing materials you have available. No one else is driving that traffic to the site. Just you. An Interactive site is very different in so many ways and should be your advertising option of choice.

We operate an interactive site in Upstate South Carolina that is ranked in the top 50,000 in the U.S. (Verify through Alexa.com). Let me give you an example of how we operate. We had a client recently called Ali’s Fine Lingerie located in Boiling Springs, S.C. The company has thousands of customers that have accumulated over the years, but did not have an Interactive site. Here’s what we did for them. We assigned a specific url to the company @ http://www.alisfinelingerie.com. When people visit that site, it looks like a site specifically dedicated to Ali’s Fine Lingerie. In reality, it is one of many sites that are all part of our Interactive site called Upstate Business Alliance.

The site is just like any static site that lists products, location, etc. with one huge enhancement. Everything about the site is designed to encourage people to follow Ali’s for the long term. We encourage all of Ali’s visitors to put in their name, email and phone number so that they can be added to the mailing list. Existing customers are gradually being added to Ali’s mailing list by the store owners. Several times per month, we assist Ali’s with an all inclusive email blast to ALL of their customers. With each mailing, we include a link to the website.

Now here’s the thing that we don’t want you to miss: When anyone visits Ali’s in particular, they’re also being exposed to every other business that’s part of the Upstate Business Alliance. And ViceVersa. In other words, if someone visits from The Vintage Inn Bed & Breakfast (another of our clients), they’re also being exposed to Ali’s Fine Lingerie. So, instead of YOU driving traffic to your static “stand alone” site, imagine traffic being driven to your site from customers all over the Upstate from hundreds of different specific urls. One thousand customers from one hundred business = 100,000 unique visitors and we are well on our way to creating that type of exposure for all of our business partners.

In addition, we put together articles and other content for you and syndicate it all over the internet in order to drive your business to the top of the rankings on Google. Need proof? Go check out Spartanburg Bra Fittings, or Upstate Bra Fittings on Google and you’ll see Ali’s Fine Lingerie listed at the top of page one!

When you’re ready, we’ll build your business site for you. We’ll help you get your existing customers entered into the email blaster system. We’ll help you to implement a consistent approach for capturing “new customer” information. Together we’ll determine the frequency of your mass mailings. We will consistently send out your mass emails to your specifications.

And finally, we’ll submit and syndicate content to drive you to the top of Google in your specific niche. So what do you do from here? Go to http://www.workwithgregtucker.com and review the first page. Go to Alexa.com and verify our ranking. Go to http://www.alisfinelingerie.com and see how her customers enter the system and what they see when visiting. Then imagine what you could do for your business growth and success by joining us. Imagine thousand of visitors coming from hundreds of specific urls and one of the things they see is a link to your site. If this sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, feel free to contact us and let’s get you started. All of the contact information that you will need is on our site. Thank you for your time and God Bless…

This may be different from what you expect, but I’m here to show you how to save money on your monthly grocery bill through a new program that will not only save you money, but over time, put thousands of dollars in your pocket!  Here are the steps for success:

1. Go back over the past six months and add up all of the dollars spent on groceries and divide that number by six to get your monthly average.
2. Let’s assume that number for this exercise is $600.00.  To the best of your ability, deduct the portion of that total that consists of meats, bread, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables.
3. Let’s assume that number for this exercise is $200.00.  This leaves a balance of $400.00.
4. Go to http://www.discountgrocery.info/ and sign up as a shopper/marketer for $69.95.  Each month you will be charged a rate of $29.95.  Immediately, you will have the opportunity to get over 10,000 name brand products shipped straight to your door.  No shipping costs ever!
5. Break down all of the items that fall into the general category of “dry goods” and research the prices on the website.  This will include actual dry goods, canned goods, baby items, paper items, trash bags, razors, toiletries, grains, beans, oils, crackers, soups, cookies, etc.  In other words, everything except meats, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables. 
6. What you should find is that you have the ability to save somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% off of what you’d normally spend in the grocery store on these items.
7. So off of that $400.00 adjusted balance, you’re going to save $160.00 per month.  Deduct your $29.95 per month and you are looking at a savings of around $130.00 per month, or around $1,560 per year.  Now here’s where it gets interesting.
8. Share this program with as many people as possible using your affiliate link.  The company has a “Shoppers sharing with Shoppers” program that pays you monthly for your referrals.
9. Even more important, it pays you for their referrals, and theirs, and theirs and so on down eight levels deep!  Bottom line, you could not only be on your way to free groceries for life, but a pretty substantial monthly income to boot.  In a very short time, you could be earning thousands from your time and effort and the time and efforts of others!

The company is called My Harvest America and it officially launched in late 2009.  Now is the time to take advantage of this very unique and lucrative program.  Visit http://www.discountgrocery.info/ today…

Multilevel Marketing is a numbers game. The more people you introduce to your opportunity, the more money you are likely to make. To begin generating a steady stream of traffic to your site, try these techniques:

1. Write and distribute Articles, Reports and Ebooks.  Promote your business by creating high quality articles and allowing others to backlink them for you.  The best tool for syndicating your content is OnlyWire.  The best resource for creating backlinks is FreeTrafficSystem.  Another great way to create content is to distribute a brandable ebook or special report.  Allow others to download the ebook for free by providing their contact information and joining your mailing list.

2. Participate in Newsgroups, Forums, and Mailing Lists. There are hundreds of forums online and you can find one for almost any topic imaginable. Most allow you to include a signature line that will be attached to every message. This is a chance for you to advertise your site. Visiting these forums to post thoughtful questions and offer your expertise will mean your signature is viewed by others and will bring you free, targeted traffic.

3. Join Social Networking sites to build your personal network such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.  Social Networking sites are designed to make it easy for people to meet others in their industry and to discuss their products and service.  A great resource for building a huge following quickly on Twitter is called Twittollower.  Use this service to build a targeted niche following in the tens of thousands.

4. Use Classified Sites and Traffic Exchanges.  Classified ad sites and traffic exchanges work well if you know how to use them. If you’re promoting a product or service that others can benefit from then they’re a great place to get traffic.

5. Run a Contest.  People love the prospect of winning something – that’s why a contest can be a great traffic generator.  The key is to choose a prize that will attract people from your target audience.  If you make the grand prize a new laptop you’ll get entries from everyone who would like to win a new laptop (which is basically every computer user in the world!).  Get more targeted traffic by choosing something that your target audience is interested in but wouldn’t mean much to other people.  To start promoting your contest do a search in Google for “Contest Directories” and you’ll find lots of places to list your contest for free.

6. Include a Powerful Signature on all Outgoing Email. Every time you send a piece of mail you have the potential to get a visitor to your site. Simply create a “signature” that is automatically added to every outgoing message. Use the signature to briefly explain what you do and add a hyperlink to your site. Once it’s set up you don’t have to think about it again!

7.  Video marketing is THE most effective type of online marketing.  Simple equipment can create effective videos that you can then download to YouTube and syndicate.  The best option for syndication is TrafficGeyser.

8.  Create a blog.  An effective blog can become the nerve center for all of your operations.  Drive all of your traffic to your blog in order to build your blog ranking.  Once a visitor has come to your blog, it’s easier to redirect them to not just one place, but all of the programs that you are involved in on the internet.

COMPLAINT ACTIVITY REPORT  Case # 67166452        Better Business Bureau of West Florida, Inc.

Consumer’s Original Complaint :

Intouch Marketing operates a marketing operation called AutoBusinessBuilder.  This company replicated website is supposedly used across the internet to attract people to a home based business.  The advertised advantage of using this program is that Intouch Marketing supposedly has a team of professional closers that will help you to make a commission off of this program and help you sign up people into your primary home based business. 

Here are the problems as I see it.  

 1. Many of the things being said in the daily webinars are not accurate.
 2. The company offers ad packages that allow you to purchase in groups of 50, 250 etc. at $1.00 each.  Supposedly, the company will advertise the company replicated site the appropriate number of times using your URL and create leads for both Auto Business Builder and your primary home based business.  I purchased one of these packages on January 29, 2010.  Nothing happened.  No leads, no nothing. I was told to be patient. “It usually takes 7-10 days”.  After that time, I was told the ads would start on or around February 17th.  That date came and went.  I got on a training webinar and asked the lady and gentleman conducting the webinar about the ads.  They answered that “They didn’t know when, but be patient.”
 3. To date, I have put $490.00 into this company as an upfront signup fee.  Last week, I was billed my monthly service fee of $95.00.  And my first ad package cost me $50.00.  Total: $635.00.
 4. The premise of the whole company is to help you build your primary business and earn commissions using their service. Every day I hear their webinar where more and more people are signing up for this service, yet they can’t even service the ones they already have!
 5. If I were to stay in this company for 21 more days, I would be billed an additional $95.00 monthly service fee, adding to my outlay with nothing in return.
 6.The presentation and the claims do not match the product/service.

Consumer’s Desired Resolution:

The amount of money I’ve put into this program should not be a burden on this company. I am requesting a full refund. I just want to go away quietly and go about my business.

BUSINESS RESPONSE : On March 1, 2010 Customer agreed to an additional month of service before he would be charged again to see if he wants to continue with the service or not.

Consumer’s Response:

An additional month of service, free or otherwise implies that their is a service being performed.  There is no service being performed.  I was told on the day that I signed up that 30 people would see the company ad and be directed to my link.  That never happened.  I was encouraged to buy an additional 50 on January 19, 2010.  It is now March 12, 2010 and neither the 30 nor the 50 have been processed.  Here’s my concern in the broader sense.  If this company is on a webinar two or three times a day bringing more and more people into the program, how do they plan to service these people?  I only have 80 measly clicks supposedly coming my way.  If I ran the company, with my complaint on the books, I would consider my account a huge priority.  It’s been 53 days!!   If they can’t even service a priority account of only 80 clicks, why are they selling packages of 250 or more to hundreds if not thousands of other people?  These poor saps who are getting in today, tomorrow or the next day are in for a huge disappointment.  As I stated earlier, I want to see this company succeed.  The strategy is a good one, but when you overpromise and DON’T deliver, this is a recipe for failure.  I will pull this complaint with a refund of the dollars that I’ve put in to date.
