Bookwise Book Club for Retirement Income and Enjoyment!

OK, OK, I know you have been a member of Scientific American Book Club, and Behavioral Science Book Club, and maybe Book of the Month Club, and Quality Paperback Book Club, and you just cannot see yourself as a member of one more book club.

Even though this bookclub is brand new, and has the potential to pay you retirement income while you step out to your sun room with a cup of hot joe and your new book, (this month you can download an audio or e-book version of Huckleberry Finn) to enjoy the early morning sun and some reading while those soft early morning breezes blow, I know that you are not going to join even one more book club. But if you are curious and can spare just a moment, please read on.

So What Is BookWise?

BookWise is a revolutionary new way to think about books. First of all, BookWise is a book club—with a special twist. In addition to some of the hottest bestsellers and time honored classics, as a member of BookWise you'll have access to dozens of valuable "perks" each month worth hundreds of dollars. It's our goal that a few of these perks will be so valuable to you that your monthly BookWise fee will seem to be the "bargain of the century." We want you to be so excited to find out about the valuable extra "goodies" you receive each month that canceling your membership is "won't be an option." After your first book is ordered, you'll have the opportunity of ordering additional bestselling books at huge discounts. Bookwise

How Does Bookwise Work?

BookWise will post this month's Bookstore Catalog on the Internet on the first day of the month. Associates can order books from the following categories: Fiction, Nonfiction, Religious Fiction, Business, Advice and How-To, Cookbooks, Children's Books, Juvenile, Audio Fiction, Audio Nonfiction, Sci-Fi Fantasy, Classics, Business Building Tools and Self Published. Associates have until midnight of the seventh day to make their selection. If a selection hasn't been made by that time, the system automatically selects a book from the Associate's default category. (When an Associate enrolls he/she selects a default category. If the Associate had selected Fiction as a default category, the system would automatically select a Fiction title that he/she has not yet purchased.)

Associates will receive their books before the end of the month. Also during the month Associates will receive the BookWise E-Newsletter.

And there's more. As the downline of an Independent Associate grows, so does their status. Once someone joins as a BookWise Member, and as their business grows, they become a Qualified Associate then a 1k, ($1,000 a month in group volume), 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, 250k, 500k and Q (one million).

Associates may also attend the Annual BookWise Book Conference where they receive recognition for their success and learn best business practices from company leaders. They will also hear from many of the best selling authors in America. Associates can also feel good knowing that they have helped thousands of children through BookWise's charity projects.

Who Are The Founders of Bookwise?

BookWise & Company was founded by a dynamic group of book lovers with outstanding credentials. Richard Paul Evans CEO, Founder Richard is more than an award-winning #1 Bestselling Author (with a string of ten New York Times bestsellers and 13 million plus copies of his books in print worldwide). He is also a savvy businessman and entrepreneur. At the age of 31, Richard was awarded the coveted Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award. Richard is also the founder of The Christmas Box International, an organization that helps abused and neglected children. BookWise combines three loves of his life: Books, Business and Charity.

On his decision to become a founding member of BookWise, he says, "When I sense that something major is about to happen, I don't question my intuition. I simply jump and ask questions later. BookWise is such an opportunity. I said to myself, 'Bob, you'll kick yourself if you miss this.'" Mr. Allen is thrilled to add his name and expertise to BookWise'a company that is destined to transform the lives of people all over the world.

Dennis Webb Founder Dennis Webb's name holds cachet among the world's business elite.

Most recently he has worked as United States General Manager for one of the largest MLM organizations in the world.

Mark W.

And who knows, you might even be pleasantly surprised. "Wow, how did they know that this was exactly what I needed?"

It's like they're talking directly to you. What have they learned since writing that book? What are their predictions? Do they have another book coming out?

That's why we've added 5 more amazing bonuses to your monthly membership. In addition, you'll receive:

8. TaxWise Training Did you know that joining BookWise can provide the basis for setting you up in a home-based business?

So, starting in March, you'll be coached in a live monthly teleconference/webcast with top experts on how to specifically set up your BookWise business to take advantage of every possible tax break.

9. WealthWise Training BookWise is about personal growth—learning how to be the best you can be. Richard and Robert will be teaching you a valuable weekly eleconference/webcast live every week. We call this call WealthWise...The value of this live training with 2 of America's top entrepreneurs and millionaire makers is enormous—when either of them does one-on-one consulting, they're paid upwards of $1,000 an hour. For 52 weeks this year, Rick and Bob will guide you on the path toward your ultimate financial freedom...the techniques, strategies and systems to help you make your dreams come true. And the cost?

Why are we willing to spend so much of our time with you? We love to teach and coach people who want to improve their lives. If you want to improve your financial life, we can help. Rick and Bob will teach you the secrets of enlightened wealth. You would not be wise to miss this. This is reserved only for BookWise members as part of their membership benefits.

10. The Bestseller Seminar: How To Write and Sell a Bestselling Book Have YOU ever wanted to be an author—write your own bestselling book? Do you know someone who wants to? Spend two days with 5 million-copy bestselling authors as they share the secrets of how they did it. Learn the secrets and the shortcuts to becoming a successful author. This seminar will be marketed to the public at $1100 per person. And even at that price, it's a bargain. As a BookWise associate, you'll receive two tickets to this event.

11. Multiple Streams of Residual Income As a BookWise associate, you can earn while you learn. You can read your way to wealth. You can read and grow rich. When you share this amazing company and its amazing benefits with 3 people, you begin to earn a share of every book they buy. And when they share it with their friends... and why wouldn't they!?...then, you also earn a slice of all the books that they buy. Eventually there could be hundreds, maybe even thousands of book buyers all over North America who are buying the books they love and sharing BookWise with more and more people. And a portion of the profit from each of those books is sent to you. Imagine, people you've never met buying books you've never read in cities you've never even heard of...twenty four hours a day, 7 days a week...your BookWise bookstore chain is sending you little streams of income. You're making money while you sleep. If you work hard enough and long enough it could turn into a river of income flowing into your life? bringing levels of financial freedom you can only dream about. And how do you qualify for the largest streams? With only 9 book buying customers. You can do that. Virtually anybody can.

12. Giving Back Finally, one dollar of your $35 membership fee goes to charity. We believe in expanding literacy—spreading the power of reading and learning. Do you know what literacy means? According to the UNESCO, the definition of literacy is follows:

"Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society."

You almost need a college degree to just understand what literacy is. Here is our definition: literacy is learning how to learn. It's one of the major purposes of life. Therefore, in addition to your dollar, we at BookWise also contribute a percentage of our profit toward the goal of expanding literacy. Together we can teach more people to read,to learn and to grow.

BookWise is the "no brainer" home-based business of the century. In fact, someone would have to be illiterate to hear the advantages of BookWise and say that they'd like to think about it. What is there to think about?

Our friend, Charlie Tremendous Jones says, "You will be the same person in 5 years as you are today except for 2 things: the people you meet and the books you read."

Imagine where you'll be in five years by reading the best books and associating with the ever-wiser people in BookWise. Welcome to BookWise.
