Thursday, January 26, 2017
Greetings from Tet Holiday in Hanoi!!
We are having a great time learning about a new culture on the other side of world... And enjoying their great food!
It's usually a great thing to have new experiences and learn new skills. That's one of the things we appreciate the most about Digital World... Oh yes that and the residual income from helping merchants. And yes they take credit cards over here!
It's always a good investment to spend some time learning what's available and your interface and also how to fill out the Consulting form and submit it for comparison and processing!
We're off to downtown for some of the celebration festivities tonight ....maybe we'll be able to post pictures. Enjoy your moments wherever you are ....more later!

It's a rainy day on the West Coast as these bloggers and Digital World Agents prepare to leave to visit family in Vietnam. We are so excited about the new year with Digital World... from the new improvements to the tools that we have, as well as to the avenues that we have to help merchants.
We can't think of anything that is more worthy of our time and effort --- especially in light of the powerful residual that has already been generated in just the first couple of years of this young company.
We are so grateful to the Daniels family for their hard work and vision. We are also grateful to each one of you who have through your own efforts made this business a viable path for a career income for whoever wants it.
It is amazing to us that it requires so little from each Agent, whether in time or certainly in capital money and expense... unlike any business that we have ever been involved in.
It may not be Thanksgiving but we are certainly giving thanks for you and for the opportunity to be a Digital World business consultant, friend, and marketer. Check all of the new materials in your interface: just one a week can make you thousands of dollars!
Whether near or far, this business can be done if you choose to do it. Fairwinds and gfollowing seas to each one of you! Will check in next from the other side of the world. Have a great week! Mike and Barb

Big Announcements Tue, Jan 10, 2017 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM PST
2017 is poised to break all records in the cash-less world of commerce -- as well as in the unique and lucrative world of getting money back for merchants who are habitually overcharged for almost every facet of their basic business expenses!
Here are some forecasts:
The point of sale and retail industries have
been shaken up in recent years with the rise of new payment
technologies. From mobile wallets to on-demand apps, and consumer demand
for a more personalized and interactive shopping experience, merchants
big and small are facing a new wave of expectations from customers.
To
stay ahead of the rapid changes in payment technology, merchants need
to understand who is driving these changes. At one-fourth the U.S.
population, millennials
outnumber Baby Boomers and are three times the size of Generation X.
Having grown up in the days of instant gratification (e.g. Netflix), the
millennial generation wants everything to be ready when they are. This
crosses over into their interactions with a retailer or restaurant,
which they expect to be as easy as a swipe, click, or voice command.
As
each year brings new technological advances, the POS and retail
industries will continue to experience the impact of innovations in
payment technology.
Mobile Wallets
Mobile wallets could be the single biggest transformation in payments
processing if they take off in the way that many analysts expect.
Retailers are particularly excited about mobile payments because they
can offer valuable insights about customer transactions that companies
can use to enhance the shoppers' experience. The speed of mobile
payments can also help increase foot traffic in stores, which in turn
would generate more sales.
In 2014, Apple was the only major mobile wallet on the market. But in
2015, Google and Samsung launched their own mobile wallets, and
Walmart, Chase, and other major players joined the market. BI
Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, expects
in-store mobile payment volume to grow from $75 billion in 2015 to $503
billion in 2020.
Swiping will disappear More merchants will adopt systems to accept chip cards in 2017.
Outside of how much you will pay and how many rewards points you’ll
earn, another fundamental aspect of the American credit card experience
will continue to change in the new year: how you use cards. As more
merchants adopt EMV-enabled payment terminals, you won’t have to ask
what to do with your card at checkout much longer. However, there is one
place where you can still expect to swipe for the foreseeable future:
the gas station. Visa just gave gas stations permission to delay the chip rollout until 2020. If you’re concerned about fraud, that’s not exactly helpful; the pump is one of the easiest targets for skimming card numbers.
Nilson Report Dec 2016 Purchase Transactions on U.S. Consumer Payment Systems
Purchases of goods and services
accounted for $9.550 trillion in 2015. This accounted for 77.75% of all
personal consumption expenditures in the United States.
Waiting on figures from '16 -- but anything over $10 TRILLION is a fair number, don't you think??
Over
the last year Digital World™ has made some incredible progress and
grown as a company, bringing on new agents, products, and perfecting our
program. We'd like to take a little time to give a summation of the
past year.
We've taken on 3 new partnering companies
Launched our Canadian division
Added a long list of consulting services
Increased our incentive to get started with our 90 day and 6 month incentive bonuses
Designed new videos and flyers for marketing including the $500 and 45 day merchant guarantees
Created the agent and merchant websites,
Brought on a great lineup of new and innovative products
Established all new product training
Simplified and shortened the required training
These are just some of the highlights of what we've accomplished in
2016, and we still have some awesome news that has yet to be announced!
Way to go!
We want to give a shout out to some of our agents for their incredible dedication and efforts this past year.
Kelly Landaker for his restaurant with the most terminals placed. Sean Stecker for the biggest volume and most accounts in 1 location. Casey Stubbs for placing the first free giving kiosk. Sanford Valentine for his account with the most Clover units placed. Justin Ibe for the most consulting submissions.
New Products & Services
Over
the last year we've brought on some fantastic new products and
services. If you haven't hear of them yet, head to the interface and
check them out!
As if a Digital World business, for just $195 one time and nothing else -- ever -- along with an incredible training module that we can refer to time and again, tucked inside a corner of a reliable NEVER-DOWN interface website for no charge, were not enough.....
ta-da!
Great Scott: MORE great DW gifts coming --- including one that we KNOW you'll love due on New Year's!
From Stryde to Discovery Calls for merchants to new 'gifts' to continuing great residual opportunities -- Digital World never ceases to call us back to the truly unique and irreplaceable biz that it is!

Heard from a DW Agent in Vegas who started his DW business 2 years ago and never did anything. He was a busy businessman who thought DW sounded great, but he didn't really have time for it...however, he kept getting texts from Mike and occasionally he'd read the blog. Recently though, things just clicked and he determined to get out and find a few merchants and other Agents.
His uplines were nowhere around so he called Mike for help, and they have plans going forward to get his 2017 fired up with DW!
You just never know how long it may take for your team to begin to sprout! The great thing about DW is it is the Baptist marketing plan: once an Agent, always an Agent!
Just finished an interview with a full-time, professional, career card processing agent with a giant processor in our industry. (Name starts with an "H" and ends with a "land".) It made for a great contrast with what we have as Digital World Agents. Here are some comparisons:
He makes around $120k/year. (Do you make that?)
He has a quota that he must meet each month so, he says, the work is never done. (We have no quota.)
After he generates $2k in residual he begins to get paid residual monthly. (We get residual from the first dollar.)
He loves the fact that he sets his own schedule and is his own boss. (So do we!)
And how about this quote?
What is the common misconception people have about what you do?
That all credit card processors are equal. There’s a lot of shady
companies out there that will screw the businesses that they process the
credit cards for and just as likely they’ll screw their employees.
When you’re looking at companies that do this, there are only a few
that are true players in the industry that actually don’t jack you
around and price you fairly. (Source: JobShadow Interviews)
So who knows? This crazy, simple/complex, home biz you signed on for just might end up being a fantastic career for you as you continue to dabble in it!
A conversation here. A questionnaire there. Let the Magic happen!!

FROM THE INBOX:
Timing
Sometimes our timing is perfect and sometimes it's not.
Many years ago when we left Texas for San Jose, CA we were excited to begin a new adventure with our two little Girls.
After 2 years we finally bought a house for $50,000 --- and we thought we overpaid.
Few years later, we moved to Central California and sold our house for $299,000 and we were thrilled at how smart we were.
Just saw a real estate article about Home prices in San Jose. Our house there recently sold for $995,000.
For $195.00 one time, your timing in Digital World is perfect. What if
it takes you or someone on your team 2 years to land a "BIG" Stryde
case?
Trust me---you will luv the commission that comes from Stryde and u might even enjoy the monthly RESIDUAL that comes from processing.
Top 10 Reason Cycle to give thanks for Digital World:
Only $195 got us training, website, lifetime Agent status and headstart at residual income!
Digital World is unique in the world of network, or multi-level, marketing.
Digital World is still within its formulation (first 5 year) stage.
Digital World is family-owned and operated.
Stryde gives DW Agents an offering to merchants and business owners that NO OTHER ISO has!
So we are the UNIQUEST among uniques!
Remembering you are a DW Agent as you go about your holiday shopping, and leaving your Digital World biz card or flyer, can result in major income at any given time...when you least expect it.
DW residual income is pretty much unstoppable: once you get it started.
Gathering a team of Agents makes your residual income grow much faster.
Everybody should be a DW Agent because of #1 above...and so on!
***************
Here's one merchant's customer's take on using her credit cards:
It builds up a great credit rating.
"By charging and paying off up to thousands of dollars in expenses
each month, I have built up a rock-solid credit rating — the best
possible. So whenever I have sauntered into the bank for a loan, I have
been accepted right away, and at the lowest possible interest rates,
with no security deposits required."
And as for not using credit cards -- ever --:
"After having a few bouts of credit card debt
in my early twenties, I swore I would only pay cash for my stuff and
never use a credit card again. But knowing the importance of having
credit, I kept a few accounts open and just locked the cards away. I
thought I was being smart... I thought wrong.
When you don't use your credit — as in, ever — there's no
payment history for potential creditors to evaluate and after an
extended period of time, your creditors may close your account because
of inactivity, both of which can make it harder for you to secure credit
when you need it.
In addition, if you do ever decide to use one of those cards, you may
find that your purchase is declined because it's outside of your
"usual" spending habits. Of course, this can be resolved, but not
without some embarrassment as you step out of the checkout line to call
your credit card company." Source: http://www.wisebread.com/surprising-things-that-can-kill-your-credit

Keep yourself and your merchants and all of your community in the Happy Card Loop!
While earning all the while, as a Digital World Agent!
Just off phone with Co-Founder John Daniels and boy is he excited!!!
We have 21 Stryde cases in the hopper and 4 of them already have contracts and all documents signed.
Minimum $$$ recapturing for each of these 4 biz owners is $400,000.
Some of you are gonna be happy campers.
Also he told me another of our $1,000,000 + Merchant accounts isnow active with their multiple terminals.
We will be able to post a copy of the 40% commission check when issued. Gonna be a shocker for sure!

ALSO FROM INBOX:
Received an urgent email from a dry cleaner merchant who refused to get a chip terminal last year when we asked him to -- he just got hit with a $75 fraud charge due to NO CHIP so now he is begging for that free emv terminal!
Hmmmm... should we hurry one to him or not?
Just kidding; WE WILL, OF COURSE! And now might be a good time for you to check back in with those stubborn Anti-EMV merchants from your past!
