@Bobbi Prim: I understand, lol. And thank you, hope you're having a great day as well. Mine has been very very busy with the phones and my son keeping me on my toes.

@Ashleigh:
Hi Ashleigh … I would also have to subtract the overall population of those states from the overall population of the U.S. as well … considering it’s only 6 states, and rural states at that (which is why we have no providers in those states), the statistics aren’t going to change that much. I’m sure Ron got the general idea …

In summary, the question was “isn’t the market for this service somewhat saturated?” The answer is ‘no’ …

Hope you’re having a great day

Shyanne,
Well, if you’re that scared of the phone, then Ameriplan, or any other company that requires speaking on the phone, would not be for you. If you like texting so much, you should try ChaCha or kgb_.

As for our market being saturated, wow, Bobbi and Laura you guys did an awesome job explaining all of that! Numbers make me dizzy, though. lol. One thing you have to take into account though, ladies, is the states where Ameriplan® HEALTH is not available. You’d need to find out how many people within those states are without health/dental coverage and subtract them from the overall population of that we have not yet touched. Just my 2 cents there.

Damn Shyanne,

I thought I hated being on the phone but you take it to a whole other level. lol
At the end of the day that’s why there are different opportunities out there for everyone. We’re fortunate to have options. But I admire all the folks that are phone people and make this work. It’s always just good to hear when people thrive in their comfort zones.

To people who think talking on the phone is no big deal…..a company could be handing out gold bars and I would NEVER get on the phone. I only text to my friends and family and hate the phone so much the only reason i have one (and I only have a cell) is for texting and if someone has an emergency and they need to tell me something. The thought of talking on the phone to ANYONE causes me so much anxiety nothing would be worth it….Thank goodness for complete online businesses.

My 2 cents

@Ron:
Hi Ron … Laura is correct … our market potential is HUGE. Look at it this way … according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. began the year 2010 with a population of 310 million people, breaking down to approximately 75 million families. Breaking this figure down to an average per state is APPROXIMATELY 60 million people per state. Ameriplan has over 20,000 people working at home and over 2 million members on our plans – both of which are a drop in a bucket in comparison. As Laura indicated, we haven’t even saturated 1% of the market of the entire nation

More statistics … did you know that (before over 4 million people lost their jobs … along with their health benefits) 70% of the U.S. has no dental coverage whatsoever? That’s 217 million people … and we’ve only “hit” 2 million members of our health discount plans, and as Laura indicated … this does not even count our two new non-health programs which just launched last Fall.

Now … as of March 2010, the unemployment rate for the nation was 9.7%, yet some states’ rates were as high as over 12% – rounding the nationwide to 10% results in 31 million people in the nation that are unemployed or 6 million unemployed in each state (average based on 10%) … again, Ameriplan has only 20,000 people working at home – and MANY of them are still working full or part-time jobs, using Ameriplan as their “second income”.

Hope this helps … btw … this was an EXCELLENT question – thank you! If I can help with any other questions you may have, please do not hesitate to ask them …. that’s what we’re here for

Have a GREAT Day!

Hi Ron, I know your question was to Bobbi but just to give a quick answer. The market potential for our memberships is huge. We have been established since 1992 and we have not even penetrated 1% of the market potential in any major city in the United States. Not to mention the 2 new programs introduced last year (SecureNet and AccessSaver). HTH

@Bobbi Prim,
First of all, great site Eddy! I’m learning a lot today.
Bobbi, I just started looking at Ameriplan today. I talked with a member about an hour ago and I am interested. I guess what my biggest question is, is with the amount of IBO’s and RSD’s and such, isn’t the market for this service somewhat saturated? I don’t know, that’s why I ask. From talking to the lady earlier it sounds like a good deal. She hasn’t been doing it long and as such, hasn’t really made any money. She does have a great attitude about it and it is contagious. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you!

Wonderfully Put Carl!! Good for you for joining AmeriPlan 30 days ago!! It is an amazing journey to the TOP, but a journey that is like no other and reaps rewards like no other!! I personally have been with AmeriPlan for 2 years and am in love with my business and my team and can say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Aside from the monetary success, being part of such an amazing group of people will change your life if you let it…Good for you for making that change and having the vision of where you will be in 2 years…and no doubt you will get there!!

I was skimming through the internet when I came across this blog. Interesting reading for sure. I recently joined Ameriplan and quite honestly haven’t had the success I had imagined. However, I know that it takes time and dilligence to make something work. I have spent thousands of dollars on “work at home” gigs in the past only to lose out. I have a great enroller..a great team and I know with persistance and hard work this will take off for me. I hate to lose and feel like I failed at something. I researched this company for a few weeks before I actually joined. I read some great things and some not so great things. I do know..the majority of people who feel a particular “business from home” is a scam are those that thought they could pay to get in..sit back..and the money would roll in.

It’s obvious that ANY business requires an investment of time and money. I found the $50 overhead the least of my concerns when you take into consideration what that $50 pays for. The biggest obsticle most people who work on the internet is THEY DONT WORK.!! I wake up everyday at 7am because THIS IS WHAT I DO…Just because I “work at home” doesn’t mean I can sleep in all day (although i have my freedom to do so). I place ads on the internet EVERYDAY because without them …people dont know me. I read on one of the responses that someone placed 50 ads in a few months with the company. Shoot…I do that on a daily basis..why? Cause it’s FREE that’s why.

Working at home with your own business isn’t for everyone. This is not a job..this is your financial journey. I’ve only been doing this for 30 days …and I’m not giving up now. I know what people that have been with us for just a couple of years are making and I will be one of them in 2012. cabbrooks2003@gmail.com
