Questions
Q) What are the requirements to get started?



A: You have to be committed to working a home business. I'm looking for serious people who can work a good 10 hours a week.

Q) What exactly do you do with this company?

A) You contact people who have requested info about either the benefits or the brokership. I personally do the brokership enrollments. We send out emails to these people, we call them, we go online and we enroll them. Ameriplan® services the customers for us. For the brokers we enroll we make sure they are aware of the training calls and we answer their questions for them.

Q) What is the average amount of money a person earns while working about 10 hrs a week?

A) It always varies. If you consistently do 10 hours a week and it's really work (i.e. making contacts talking about Ameriplan® and enrolling people) our part time brokers earn about $200-$300 a week.

Q) Are there quotas to be a broker? What if I want to go on vacation for a month?

A) It's your business and you are the boss. There are no quotas so you can take a nice long vacation without worry. Actually this is YOUR business. It's willable when you pass away. It's nice to think that if your family is relying on your income and (God forbid) something happens, then they will still get that income. This is also a great retirement program.

Q) I'm not very good with a computer. How do I setup my websites?

A) It's very straight forward. The website is already designed. You only have to supply a name for your website. I can help you with the computer no problem.

Q) How do you advertise?

A) We cover this in our training calls. It all depends on how you want to advertise. You can do it locally or on a national level. I do mine on a national level using the internet. Some people use the free lead resources we have available.

Q) How much does it cost to do this business?

A) There is a $45 broker kit to buy as a one-time cost. You also get $50 in company store credit. This is so you can set up your entire home office with the supplies you need to get started. Even if your budget is tight, I'm sure you can see that in any business you'd have to do some sort of set up to get started. But $50 in supplies for your first $50 broker fee. Corporate isn't trying to make it difficult for us. They want to see you thrive!

The first month fee of $95 includes:
$20 Registration fee

$25 for our broker kit

$50 for your first month's broker fee


A) You receive 5 websites to help you market your business and to do online enrollments. You also receive Dental, Vision, Prescription, and Chiropractic benefits.



A) You receive training. We have daily training calls, a training website, an online training school, accountability calls, etc.



A) There is an Trainer Optional Program (TOP) that you can join. It is a bonus pool. There is a one-time setup fee of $400 for this program. It is optional, but highly recommended. You receive more supplies and can participate in our bonus pools. Please ask me about this program if we talk on the phone. I can also email you material about the TOP program if you'd like to see more information about it. Bonuses are paid out weekly and you can receive multiple bonuses each week. The bonus money in our bonus pool ranges from $50-$324. Not all states can participate, so please ask me for more information.



A) In a nutshell, you can join for either:



- $95 (kit plus first monthly fee of $50)



- $495 (joining at $95 but paying for the optional TOP program which gives you an additional 5 months of $50 fee paid up front, more supplies, and $800 of gift certificate money to spend at our corporate store)

Q) Why do I have to pay to work for Ameriplan®?

A) You should never pay someone to work for them. If you're talking about a "job" over the internet you should never pay anyone - otherwise it is a scam.

I can't think of any home-based business that does not have start up costs involved. A "business" is different then a "job" on the internet. Here are the differences:

1) You are not paid on a W2 form because you are not an employee. You are paid on the 1099 form as an independent contractor. The 1099 form allows you to save a lot of on your taxes through itemizing your business expenses.

2) You actually own the business. You can will it to your spouse or your children. It's something that you actually own.

3) I think of it this way: If you wanted to open up a bakery in your town you'd have certain costs associated with that business. You'd have no 'name' established for yourself, you'd have to probably use some sort of software to maintain your 'backoffice' so you can keep track of employees, and you might even buy server space so you can host a website for your business. All of these expenses add up. If you wanted to open up a McDonalds (or some other franchise that has a 'name' associated with it) you'd pay thousands of dollars in franchise fees a year. With Ameriplan® you get your websites, training, a paperless office because Ameriplan® takes care of all of that for you, and the day you start your business is 15 years old, registered with the Direct Sellers Association, US Chamber of Commerce, the American Association of Dental Plans and has a 'name' for itself. All of this is handled for you for just $50 a month.

Q) Am I allowed to recruit any of my family as brokers?

A) Sure. You can recruit them as members for the benefit plans as well.

Q) Am I required to take out my own taxes or does the company do that?

A) Your earnings are reported on the governments 1099 form. If you've ever heard people say that a home based business is a great way to save money on taxes, they were right.
