Groupon, Living Social and The Customer Advantage


By now you've heard about Groupon and Living Social. They are awesome companies changing the face of local business in a super cool way. And now we have The Customer Advantage doing the same thing but with a serious twist - they pay YOU!

Instead of "just" designing a great deal for the business owner to gather new customers; and instead of "just" orchestrating 50%-off deals or better for customers, The Customer Advantage will pay you for referring those businesses and customers.

You see Groupon has it going on, no one can deny that. Bottom line we all love it when we get a great deal. But they are not too far removed from the typical business that is all about it's own profits. Don't get me wrong, I know they are socially responsible and it is nice that they are spreading their profits around in really cool and helpful ways. It gives us the warm fuzzies, but does that help us pay the bills?

The difference with TCA is that they are designing great deals for local businesses to gain more attention and more customers by offering a percentage of their profits to you for spreading the word. So they are empowering local communities at the local level to really come together locally and thrive where you live! Did I mention it's local and about re-energizing local communities??

It's that boot-strapping thing we all know, where we pull ourselves up instead of waiting around for the government to suddenly, miraculously start working for the people again. It's word of mouth marketing at it's finest, and if you're reading this, and I think you are, then it's something you already know more about than most people.

The Customer Advantage is attractive to people who know nothing about mlm because it's not your typical mlm opportunity. Watch the videos on the main page and join for free today.
