Is (2010 Blessings) a Scam?
85
When I first Posted this hubpage, I thought that 2010 Blessings was going to be a wonderful opportunity for many people but it turned out that there was some scam activity going on with some of the members.
2010 Blessings was shut down for a couple of months to get rid of all the scammers. You can thank Jon Scherling (the creator) for that and its a good thing he acted quickly. Many people did not get their money returned and alot of unfair practices were happening within this program and this is why they shut it down. Now 2010 Blessings is back up and going strong. I am going to leave the original content of this hubpage because the content is still important. Why?
Because what I have to teach you will allow you to be successful in any program. I teach you how to "Market". Once you learn how to market, any program will work for you.
So just to reiterate, 2010 Blessings was shut down due to Scam activity, but now its back up and going strong. if you would like to discuss this more with me, please feel free to call me at 678-561-2631.
I would love to hear from you.
Let me just start off by saying absolutely not.
This a cashgifting scenario that is completely legal and is heavily monitored by its creators to make sure that the integrity of the program stays intact. You know many gifting programs talk about how they are trying to help the community or trying to help the world, but this is unlike anything I've see before. and I've been in MLM for 20 years and I've seen gifting programs come and Go.
2010 Blessings actually has a Ning site where everyone can be involved within a communty setting while trying to promote this wonderful gifting opportunity. Here's what I like about that. You cannot promote any other type of business within that community.
You must only communicate with other people about 2010 Blessings and also empower each other to do better and to come up financially.
It appears that alot of people are coming into 2010 Blessings that have no MLM experience at all, and the creators want to make sure that no professional MLM'ers take advantage of these people. To me, that was a great call.
People are entering into this program because they just simply want to change their lives financially. They may not even want to start a business or anything like that. They just need a break.
To receive 8 Cash gifts at $25 a pop can really change your life when you need a bill to be paid, and that's the kind of people that are joining. There are people who are joining that never made any money on the internet but are being successful in this. This is designed in such a way that the whole community helps....The Whole Community.
Like I said, I've never seen anything like this before. You put in $25 Dollars, you get back 8 Gifts of $25 a piece ($200).
Then you move up to the next board which is the $50 Dollar board. You already made back $200 so now you re-invest or Gift out $50. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $50 a piece ($400).
Now you move up to the $100 Board. You already made back $400 so now you re-invest or Gift out $100. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $100 a piece ($800).
Now you move up to the $250 Board. You already made back $800 so now you re-invest or Gift out $250. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $250 a piece ($2000).
Now you move up to the $500 Board. You already made back $2000 so now you re-invest or Gift out $500. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $500 a piece ($4000).
Ok Now here is where it really begins to get interesting!
Now you move up to the $1000 Board. You already made back $4000 so now you re-invest or Gift out $1000. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $100 a piece ($8000).
Then you move up to the $2000 Board. You already made back $8000 so now you re-invest or Gift out $2000. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $2000 a piece ($16,000).
And Last but not Least, You move up to the $5000 Board. You already made back $16000 so now you re-invest or Gift out $5000. You will then get back 8 Gifts of $5000 a piece which ultimately gives you $40,000.
You will have a made a total of $71,400. Not bad when you started out with Just $25.
Now does this happen overnight of course not. Can you just sit back and just receive gifts, no absolutely not. First of all to qualify to receive gifts you need to bring in 2 people. Once you gift out your $25 dollars and bring your 2 people in, you're good to go and you are definitely on your way.
Now here's the bad news. If you do not have a marketing system in place for your team of gifters, you will fail at this. You have to have a gameplan that everyone can duplicate. Most people do not have a marketing system and most people do not have a gameplan.
And this is the reason why MOST people Fail at this. You can not just sit back and do nothing. You have to do certain things in a Certain Way. Fortunately I can teach you exactly what to do to be successful in 2010 Blessings.
I not only teach attraction marketing to my entire team, but I also "Reveal" a Secret Gifting Method that pretty much Guarantees your success in this program. No one is doing this method except my team.
This secret method that I created is called "The TRIGIFT25 Formula"
Here's what this Formula will allow you to do.
1. Keep your team continually gifting without fail
2. Educate your team with Free marketing Methods and Techniques that work.
3. Allow every member of your team to put 2010 Blessings in front of 3000 - 10,000 people a month....For Free
4. Use Free Software that will make your 2010 Blessings program "Irresistable" to new gifters.
5. and Much Much More!
Now here are some pointers that you must know before getting into any program or Opportunity.
1. First realize that nothing happens overnight. You have to diligently work at it for it to be successful.
2. Learn how to Market before you get into any business or opportunity. So many people are puting the carriage in front of the horse
and this is the reason why they are failing. You have to think about this. If everyone could just join an internet home business and be successful, wouldn't everyone be doing it. and wouldn't our economic problems be over with?
3. You have to care more about Helping people than making money. Yeah you read it right. This is also one of the main reasons people fail.
4. People are not buying your service or your product. They are buying YOU. Master this concept and you will always make money.
5. You Must, You Must, You must get a Mentor to show you the road to success. There's no way around it. It does not make sense for you to re-invent the wheel. A Mentor will show you exactly what you need to do because he or she already paved the way.
6. Always say "Please" and "Thank you". This goes a long way, trust me.
7. Always "Do" what you Say you are going to do.
8. And most of all be Humble.
I speak more about how to be successful in 2010 Blessings in the video below.
Check out the Video Below and I will Spell everything out for you.

YAWN....Have the violins stopped yet?....lol
Ok Al here we go.
If you "read" my beginning statement, you would have seen that I said it was shut down due to scam activity. Which it was. Even you said it in your post...lol
Do you read what you type?...lol...anyway..
As far as me believing in it, I did. But now I don't due to recent activity. Again if you actually read my post you will see that I was speaking quite favorably about 2010 blessings.
Here's the problem. People...meaning "Humans" are deciding who goes where on the boards and that's why this thing failed. Don't worry Al, this happened before. I've seen it a thousand times.
Oh and by the way AL, when people don't get their money back in a system that they put their "Hard Earned" money into, THEY are going to call it a scam. ANd trust me I know alot of people who put alot of money into 2010 Blessings. And they are VERY UPSET.
When you put a system out like this, there can't be a "First sign of Trouble"....You are dealing with people's money. Go ahead and fail with your own money, not with anyone else's.
Here's another problem. People actually feel that they are going to put $25 into something and think they are going to make thousands of dollars. Will never happen. Why....because Greed will always find its way in and someone will try to beat the system.
Did you know that there are EXPERT marketers all over this thing. The non marketers will never win. Unless someone showed them how to win. Like me, and that's what I was trying to do.
Shame on me?....lol
Al do you know how many people called me to join 2010 Blessings with me?...a whole lot....But I turned them away and said keep your money and learn how to market first.
Here's what I suggest Al. Read....my post carefully next time before you boldly defend 2010 blessings so passionately. Let 2010 Blessings come back and be successful and then you will have a leg to stand on.
Right now you don't, but that's ok. You're just defending something your firmly believe in.
I approved your comment because, quite frankly.....I thought it was comical!
Stay Blessed and go to the beach or something.
How do we find out about your programme The TRIGIFT25 Formula?
Hi Kate,
That was a method that I had implemented when I was in that program. Its no longer relevant. However I can show you how to be successful in any program...for free. Call me anytime.
678-561-2631
First and foremost, everyone is here and is entitled to their own opinions. I want to stress to you that 2010 Blessings was shut down to clean up the messes that so called "Marketers" put into the community itself, not due to the creators or the Administration that runs it. I look over the whole program as a whole and it does work. I know every board and most of the people on them I am in contact with in some form or fashion and have yet to hear a complaint. I do not believe that anyone you personally talk to has invested the kind of money I have into something with no problem doing so for the benefit of each and every one that is among us. I am dedicated to the successes here and if you have a problem posting this here fine I understand but you have never contacted me personally nor have you tuned in so before you make statements of an untrue nature to promote whatever training you may have, do your due research on what you try and comment on. As I said, I got no complaints and I am the face of 2010 Blessings, you know of no one whos invested here because we give without expectations and without hesitations here, no greed in mind. Point To Ponder.
Jon Scherling
Jon,
Thanks for your comment.
You're right I didn't speak to you personally about your program, but I've spoken to alot of people and they are very upset. But you know what Jon, this is how it is in every program. You can't promise people the world and then their world comes crashing down on them. Because when that happens, you will always look like the bad guy even though your heart is in the right place and you had very good intentions. I'm not blaming you or anyone. This is just how this industry is. My goal is simply to do "one" thing and that is to educate people on how to be successful in "ANY" home business...Period. NOT to speak badly about 2010 blessings. To be honest I hope it does work and again, I would be glad to train anyone in 2010 Blessings to be successful attracting prospects to this program once you "work out the kinks". Jon read my post carefully. You'll see that I still speak about the advantages of your program, but I also speak about the truth of knowing how to market it so that anyone can be successful within 2010 Blessings.
Jon many people have contacted me about 2010 Blessings wanting answers. Why didn't they contact you? "Point To Ponder" right back at you my friend.
I truly wish you the best and I really hope it does bring alot of blessings to many people. I have nothing against 2010 Blessings at all. I hope I've made this clear.
Stay Blessed and Stay Encouraged.
Antonio Brutus
Once again my friend, I have had no complaints other than the bad practices of so many within 2010 Blessings who claim to be "GURUS" of this very tricky niche. I respect your opinions I do but the facts speak totally for what I stand for and thats integrity. I couldve stopped 2010 Blessings and left it at that as you know that I am an experienced marketer one of the best in video and have residuals coming from that, but I chose to stick it out, fix the problems and address all the issues where others fell out and wanted to quit. I know what works and what does not thats why Im still here and all is welcome as long as they follow the rules to bask in the glow of what 2010 Blessings will be before the summertime. Sit back and enjoy the ride my friend and if you are really offering to train people the right way theres always a spot for your training and videos here at 2010 Blessings. Point To Ponder: If you sit down for everything, you stand up for nothing.
Blessing from my family to yours,
Jon Scherling
Hey Jon,
Thanks again for your comment.
Jon I've heard you on the conference calls and I have spoken to some that spoke highly of you, so I don't doubt the passion you have to help people change their lives financially. It says a lot about you to stick with this and see this thing through. Alot of people are counting on this to work. I'm glad you realized that my only goal is to help people to finally experience success....not to bash 2010 Blessings. Thank you for giving me the open door to help people within your program.
I again wish you all the best.
Peace & Blessings to you and your family too!
Antonio Brutus
Hello Antonio,
I am with 2010 Blessings, as well. I HAVE helped and will continue to help people succeed with 201 Blessings. I run a Team Build which helps people who do not know HOW TO invite 2 people to this venture. I continue to be the "cheerleader" to keep everyone positive and to continue to BELIEVE. If the "negative" overtakes a person...then those will e the results of ANY activity one does. @010 Blessings is coming back...SPREAD THE WORD!
Kathy Braun
2010 blessings baby were back baby yahoooeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
blessings to everyone, u 2 antonio!!!!! jon luv ya man ur the best babe!!!!!!!!!
Simply Put:
1. 2010 Blessings is NOT a scam.
2. 2010 Blessings is live again.
3. "Marketing" is NOT hard (just ask Google) & there are PLENTY of "Gurus" out here that can train & give advice
4. Bashing a program to further your own program and/or training is unethical, unprofessional, and a cheap tactic used by individuals who are NOT seeing the results they want.
5. Last but not least - you are either in or out. Either way, 2010 Blessings is going to keep moving.
Thanks for your comment "2010 Blessings Participant",
You've obviously have not read my entire passage.
First of all, I'm not bashing this program. I've only written about what has actually happened. I spoke to Jon myself and he even stated that he needed to shut it down due to people misusing this program. I've spoken to lots of people who have lost their money and no matter how "you" feel about it....They've lost money.
I commend Jon for shutting it down to clean out all the scammers. If its back up now and its helping people then I'm happy for everyone involved.
Now let's cover "marketing". Marketing is not easy. I know this because I speak to so many people that are failing in home businesses. Why? Because they don't know how to market. If its was as simple as getting with the right Guru, then everyone would be successful, but of course that's not the case.
Let me give you a quick lessom in marketing. Whenever you are doing a video, article, or voice broadcast, or even a flyer, You have to "say" something that strikes a "nerve" to make someone "pay attention".......Like you did!
That's what this article was created to do. YOu can hate me or Love me, I really done't care because all I want this artiple to do is "Get Attention". This is a form of marketing.
Also I know you noticed the "typos" in this comment. This is purposely done so I can makf you "Pay Attention"....Get it?
No program or "business Opp" is going to make you any money unless you know how to market it effectively.....Period.
Stay Blessed..and Stay encouraged!

I see valid points from everyone on this thread. I joined just prior to the progrm being shut down. And when I came back, I was gifting a man who no longer wished to be in the program as Jon believed he should be gifted anyway, that is integrity .
Am I a Marketer , a Pro marketer ? I really don't know . I spent most of my time in a corporate sales environment . Since i came back to blessings, I think I have invited ABOUT 18 people, and AROUND 18 joined, and they all have done about the same. There is no secret to this program, you must get in the car, turn the key and drive . Check the fluids, and fill with gasoline before it runs out . Simple as that, while helping everyone else keep their vehicles on the road.WITHOUT HELPING OTHERS THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT WORK, IT HAS BEEN REVAMPED TO ENSURE EVERYONE TO BE BLESSED .
ONCE AGAIN I WILL NOT BASH ANYONE HERE AS YOU ALL HAVE GREAT POINTS, AS FOR ME AND MY LITTLE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS ( PARDON THE PUN ) WE WILL BE ON THE 5K BOARD IN 8 WEEKS.
SEE YOU AT THE TOP :)
I must retract the last statement I made . I feel like I should have not put the cart before the horse . I need a lesson in patience . I was mistaken, I ask you all to forgive me. I and my team will not be making it to the 5K wheel in the time anticipated. This is because WE ARE ALL THERE NOW !!!
BAM !!!!!
LOVE
JOEY
Congratulations to "YOU" and "YOUR TEAM"!
Stay Blessed & Stay Encouraged!

Thank you Antonio , that may have sounded a bit ill-mannered . They are not my property and everyone worked together . My point was the program is simple, is legal, and no one is left behind, less they wish to be. I am a real person on a real 5K board. BTW...I am certain you made it to the 5k board as you are promoting a coaching method . How long did it take you to get there, if you made it quicker than I did, and Jon can let us know, I would love to have you mentor me.
Joey,
Once again I am so happy that you have been blessed to make it to the 5k board. More importantly you have done something that most people in Network marketing "Can Not" do...and that is to have a team that's motivated and can work together to reach the same goal. I think that is fantastic! I'm telling you most people "Can not" do this.
I could have made it to the 5k board quite easily, but I didn't because I stopped promoting it. But because of the way I market I still get calls about 2010 Blessings.
You obviously have a system that seems to be working well for you. I can show you a couple of things to do that will always have leads come to you for free, that's no problem.
But whatever I show you is only going to augment whatever you're doing now. WHat I suggest is "Duplication" of what is already "Successful". Have everyone on your team teach everyone on their Team to do exactly the same thing that is "ALready" working for you. This is the key to your success.
I suggest for you to start a hubpage talking about your successful method with 2010 Blessings. Speak about your success. Then do a video, embed it in your hubpage article, and talk about exactly the same thing you wrote in your article. You see Joey there are Thousands of people doing research on 2010 Blessings.
This is why they keep calling me. These people are looking for someone to trust. If you can give that impression that people can trust you....they will join you and do business with you. I can't stop people from calling me about 2010 BLessings if I wanted to...lol.
You can do the same thing. Start off by doing 50 hubpage articles and connecting them to 50 videos...all talking about 2010 Blessings and how Great it is for you and your team. and most of all......have a contact number for them to call you. People have a need to reach to other people aho are Real & Approachable. Remember "Trust" is what wins people over. So if you're trustworthy, you will always be successful with 2010 BLessings or "ANY" business.
And again...have your team do exactly the same thing.
I hope this was helpful!
Stay Blessed & Stay Encouraged!

Well, I am a Minister, and I was very honest with everyone . I have a huge following on facebook, twitter, and myspace. My name is Joey Pierson. I am in the Phoenix Area.
I came from a debt settlemetn loan modification background.
I am easily googled from facebook , linkedin to my spiritual blogs. That said your suggestions are sound, as that is how it was done. By duplication via Tea/coffee and donuts. LOL . My Circle of Friends, my Team are the Body of what I believe the most High God in the name of Christ Jesus. Thank you for your feedback, it is received. leads I do not call anymore, that is why I got out of sales. You will however see my bald head one day on TV in the Bible belt of Texas. This program is only a vessel for Christ to bless others through me.
Love
Joey
God Bless you Joey Pierson.
That is exactly what it's about. Letting God Bless others through you. I believe as long as you allow God to do this through you, you will always experience abundance in ways you can not even imagine.
The more you "Give Away" the more you "Get to Keep". So its important to share as much as you have been given in order to experience success in anything you do. I try to do my best to share that Philosophy with as many people that can receive it, and I will never stop.
Thank you for allowing yourself to be a GOD's vessel. So many others will be blessed because of your action.
Stay Blessed and Stay Encouraged.
Antonio Brutus
Bingo !
Welcome back my Brother !!! By the way you were the inspiration for me to grow side burns on my bald head .....
LOL!
I realize that the last post on this forum was about 9 months ago, so, I'm not even sure if anyone will reply to this. I would love to be a part of something like this, I'm just not sure where to start - the original article I found for 2010 Blessings, I wasn't able to get ahold of that person.. But, I do have questions and I don't know how to get them answered as, again, I can't get ahold of anyone.. SO, any help or advice that anyone can give me, that would be great..
I have been learning somethings and it said to write out me email like this, as I'm less likely to get spam.. lol.. I get enough of it and I think a lot of which is from scams - it's hard to tell =/ Anyway, if you can get ahold of me at my email address, I would really appreciate the help and advice I can get..
brielle DOT sestito AT ymail DOT com
I really hope to hear from someone soon.. I'm in such a bad situation right now and could really use all the help I can find =(
Thank you so much..
Brie
Brie I think I can help you, I will send you an email. Hopefully it gets to you, based off what you typed above :)
Thanks

I've been getting quite a lot of traffic and Calls pertaining to 2010 Blessings lately.
The reason why I think this is happening is because they are 22,000 people strong now..and that number is growing.
I personally have students of mine that are making some great money with 2010 Blessings, but I have to tell you that its not because of 2010 Blessings.
Its because of Attraction Marketing and Marketing Psychology.
If you don't learn how to do Attraction Marketing, you will most likely fail in 2010 Blessings.
Is it possible to send in a gift and receive gifts out of the blue?....Yes it is. because I know another good friend of mine that received gifts just in that manner.
But for most people...it doesn't happen that way.
And that's the reason why I receive the call.
Let me admit something to you before you call me.
I am not in 2010 Blessings.
But I get alot of calls and alot of traffic pertaining to 2010 Blessings...Why is that?
Is it a Fluke?...Is it by Chance or by Accident? Absolutley Not.
It is by DESIGN. It is On Purpose.
I can...and I will teach you this for free.
Call me or come visit my site so we can talk and I will pull back the curtains on this whole industry for you. Its a real simple formula.
Talk to you soon.

hello ...just curious....who holds my initial...and who determine...where the gift goes...i would not believe that it sits in a bank....for legal purposes.....can you clarify.
thanks
cj
Hi CJ,
I'm sorry but I can't answer your question since I am no longer in 2010 Blessings. Maybe some of the people who are connected to this hubpage might see your question and give you the correct answer.
Why are you not in 2010blessing? Did something happen, just curious
Hi Joan,
The only thing that happened was that I found some programs that suited me and my prospects better. That's the beauty about what I do, and what I teach others to do. If something doesn't fit right with in your gameplan, just change what's in your portfolio without it "Affecting" your Brand. Nothing against 2010 Blessings. I just found a better fit for me and the prospects that want to partner up with me.
If you would like more information about what I'm marketing then please go to www.AntonioBrutus.com and I would be more than happy to fill you in.

Dear Antonio,
Shame on you. 2010blessings a scam? Please, you obviously have been so out of touch with this wonderful community you have no idea "why" it shut down and are so quick to yell "scam"!
Jon IS bringing back 2010, after all the "scammers" that attempted to stack the boards are weeded out and the boards are fixed. What happened to your belief in the community? Who knows, maybe you where one of the scammers?
Why did you join in the first place? Greed? easy fast money? The purpose of a cash gifting community is to GIVE from your heart first, and you will receive, but it seems from your last post that is not you.
Please, when 2010blessings does re-open better then ever, remove yourself from our community. We do not need non-believers and people so willing to yell SCAM at the first sign of trouble without knowing or getting ALL the facts.
Thank you for letting me comment.
Best regards,
Al
