Zoegetics or Zoe Lifestyle is a Georgia based network marketing company that according to their

website “provides high quality products for the well being of today’s families”.

Their website looks clean and modern and they have Facebook and Twitter accounts clearly on their page so they are very much into social media.

Zoegetics products

Zoe Lifestyle products are available through their exclusive network so you can’t find them in stores, which is naturally good for their representatives.

Their main product is Zoe Life which is an all-natural powdered drink mix. According to their website it is made up of 20 real fruits and vegetables. It is sweetened with Stevia.

The product sounds like an excellent health product and definitely something we could all need to make us feel better and healthier.

They have lots of new products coming up, such as products for weight management, products for kids and seniors, shampoo etc.

They say on their website that Zoe Lifestyle has partnered with one of the world largest natural products manufacturers. They don’t give more details about this though.

Zoe Lifestyle also offers personal insurance program to supplement your current insurance plans.

Zoegetics donates part of it’s profits to charity.

Training

They provide weekly training for their reps via conference calls and webinars.

Compensation plan

I wasn’t able to find detailed information of Zoegetics compensation plan, but it is something called trinity plan which uses binary system for distibutors to grow their business.

If you are interested about health based network marketing companies Zoegetics seems to fit into that category very well and is worth checking.

It is a relatively new company so that can be a big plus for distributors as everything new always creates more curiosity.

When a new rep is signing up they seem to offer two options; either Option one, which is $69.95 or Option 2 which is $497.00. These numbers can of course change in the future.

They also mention that to remain active in the Zoegetics compensation plan you need to remain on the autoship program.

The biggest problem for Zoegetics reps might be Internet marketing. If you are used to face to face marketing then it’s not a problem, but if you plan to market online you need to have additional training for that, unless you are already familiar with Internet marketing. You should also brand yourself to differentiate yourself from

With obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other ailments on the rise, it is no wonder that there are tons of synthetically formulated concoctions purported to help us lose fat, gain muscle mass, boost the immune system, increase the respiratory system’s efficiency, and so on. But with such a push for healthy bodies, why are so many of these “healthy” supplements made up of ingredients that do not occur outside of a laboratory?

To be certain, it is great that you want to boost your health. But think about an alternative health supplement before you place a mail order for the newest pills on the market. After all, doesn’t nature know better than all of those unpronounceable chemicals? Consider this: if the reason you are purchasing man-made supplements is to feel good and be healthy, then would it not make more sense to consume all natural health boosters as an alternative health supplement?

Think about it — Chinese medicine has always relied on naturally occurring herbs, oils, and so forth for boosting the health. How many supplements are billed as using traditional Chinese medicinal therapies for inspiration? There must be a reason. The Chinese, did, in fact, figure out thousands of years ago that an alternative health supplement created from natural ingredients can be used not only to heal and improve the body, but they can also be used in lieu of adding more unnatural substances to the body. Again, it seems nature knows better than any synthetic chemical how best to support the human machine.

Overall, an alternative health supplement is the best choice for getting back to nature and back to healthy living. Chemicals and foreign substances are what need to be taken out of the body, not added to it. An alternative health supplement is just the answer to a healthy body and clean living. Natural herbs, natural oils, natural plants and flowers and seeds — these are the medicines and therapies that the human body can thrive on, rather than artificially created ones. Nature made is best for supporting the health of the body, and an alternative health supplement will support that means to an end.

Ada 4 bahan utama topping cupcake:

Buttercream
Buttercream dapat digunakan dengan berbagai tekhnik lalu dihias dengan sprinkle-sprinkle warna warni.

Sprinkle ini edible (bisa dimakan), bentuknya bisa macam-macam. Bintang-bintang, mutiara, love, dan lain-lain, terbuat dari semacam bahan gula dan tepung namun hampir tidak ada rasanya.

Cooking chocolate
Bisa dilelehkan, bisa dicampur krim, bisa dibentuk dengan cetakan. Rasa Coklat merupakan rasa terfavorit konsumen.

Edible paper
Disini customer bisa memesan gambar dengan kualitas printer dan akan diprint di sugar paper. Tintanya menggunakan edible ink, aman untuk dimakan.

Sangat ideal untuk ulang tahun corporate, memasang foto, logo, dan lain-lain yang ingin tingkat presisinya sama persis seperti gambar aslinya.

Icing (3 D Cupcakes)
Icing ini bahan utamanya gula, yang bentuknya elastic dan bisa dikreasikan menjadi berbagai macam model dan warna. Hiasan dari Icing memakan waktu dan harga yang lebih tinggi dibanding model-model cupcakes yang lain.

Hiasannya biasanya berbentuk 3 dimensi. Misalnya Thomas the tank Cupcakes, atau Bride and Groom Cupcakes. Semua bahannya bisa dimakan karena terbuat dari icing dan pewarna yang dipakai adalah pewarna makanan yang halal. Intinya, 3D cupcakes adalah hiasan cupcakes berbentuk 3 dimensi.

Berkembang di Amerika, pada abad ke-19, cupcake mungkin memiliki ukuran mini, tapi tidak harus selalu begitu. Dijuluki demikian karena bahan-bahan yang dipergunakan biasanya ditakar dalam ukuran cup (mangkok), bukan ditimbang.

Tradisi ini selanjutnya berkembang menjadi kebiasaan. Awal mulanya, cupcake sering pula disebut kue “angka”, karena takaran pengukurannya sangat mudah diingat. Misalnya, satu mangkok mentega ditambah dua mangkok gula pasir ditambah tiga mangkok tepung ditambah semangkok susu dan satu sendok soda kue.

Berkembang kemudian orang-orang mulai membuat cetakan cupcake dalam wadah kaleng yang disebut Muffin tins, yang mulai populer sekitar abad ke-20. Dewasa ini, cupcake sudah menjadi sangat bervariasi, mulai dari komposisi bahan baku, ukuran, bentuk dan dekorasi.
