Why I Quit and Canceled MCA
I recently quit MCA (Motor Club of America) Why did I quit MCA? In the next article I'm going to tell you why I quit MCA and whether it is a good idea if you quit too. Last year, I lost my job and I started googling ideas for online businesses on google and youtube. I came across several online businesses and the one that just kept popping up was MCA, Motor Club of America. So then I started to research MCA and googled and youtubed "MCA" and then "is MCA legit" and "is MCA a scam" and I came across a lot of videos of people saying that it was a scam only to find out in the video that they were part of it and that that was their hook to get you to watch their video. Anyway I came across a video made by Demetris Gorham, a person I'm sure everyone has come across on the internet and the way he explained MCA, man made me feel like I could do it too. Here he was this 18 year old kid making thousands of dollars with MCA and he broke it down on a level I could understand. Well I jumped in and signed up under Demetris. Unlike what you've probably read, Demetris is not a bad guy, I'm not going to bash him at all but at one point I think he just overwhelmed with people signing up that he didn't anticipate all these people asking for help. He would send me links and tips on how to start the business but unless that information is organized then it won't help you much.Reasons Why I Quit MCA
So after a few months I did think about quitting MCA but I didn't do it. I just told myself to stick with it. I followed the steps to get your blogs ranked and all that but still no sales. I considered my failure so far a learning experience and just rolled with the punches, studying, and learning as I went along. A lot of people would email me and say they were interested but no one would sign up. I had a hard time closing the sale. I also made a few youtube explaining how to get your youtube and google articles ranked higher but I quickly deleted them. What I found myself doing was in fact hiding the fact that I was part of MCA. Why was I hiding the fact that I was part of MCA? Well, because in reality MCA seems a little "scammy" and I didn't want to be associated with it or have my friends and family know that I was part of it. Although MCA does offer real services, the entire marketing for the company has been heavily tainted by people trying to get sales. So if any of my friends or family would research it, they would be like "what the hell is this guy up to?" and I did not want that at all. That was a main reason why I quit MCA, I just didn't want to be associated with that type of business even if it was legit.What I Did After I Quit MCA
So after I quit MCA, I started looking around for other online businesses. I found one with ABC Fundraising. I figured since I coach and have a lot of coaches contacts, I could sell fundraising items to them such as chocolates and scratcher cards. Well, turns out I was right. I have made over $1,000 in profit over the last six months that I joined ABC fundraising and have sold over $3,000 in merchandise. There is no commission that I get for getting other people to join ABC fundraising so there is no need to post a link. You can reseach it yourself if you'd like. I also started my own website because again I love to coach and know a lot of teams and coaches all across the city of Los Angeles. I started lacitysports.com which is now the #1 sports news aggragate site on Los Angeles. Think of it as the Drudge Report but high school sports in Los Angeles. Instead of people going to all these different websites for news, they come to mine and I link them up to over 6 websites covering high schools sports in Los Angeles. As a coach, that was something I always wished existed and then I ended up creating it. It is truly convenient for parents, athletes, coaches and scouts to have one site that has all the stories. Recently, I sold my first advertisement to a company that is promoting a very handy app for high school sports and they signed a contract with me for the next three months. In other words, my website is paid for for the next 2 years with this one advertisement. I also recently got approved for google ads and I put a couple of them on my site. So now anytime someone clicks a google ad on my site, I am getting paid! Not bad for what I did after I quit MCA, huh.Other Options other Than MCA
How did I go from MCA and selling stuff that I didn't know anything about to doing things I love? Let's be honest, you know nothing about roadside assistance or death benefits. What you do know about is something you love. And that's exactly what I did. I stopped looking to see what I could be and I just started being myself and doing what I love, writing about what I love and that is high school sports.
