President's Letter
February 10, 2010
Dear MyNet Universe Distributor,
I would first like to congratulate you on a successful start of the New Year. In the direct sales industry, the third year of a company’s life cycle is usually their breakout year. Now that MyNet Universe is moving into its third year of operation with many of our capital expenditures behind us and with the driving force of online savings and pay-per-click income, we expect 2010 to be a breakout year for us. The future is truly bright for MyNet Universe as we look to expand our business domestically and abroad.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Randy, our Developer; Keith, our Technology Officer; Bruce, our Master Distributor; our home office staff; and you, our distributors, without which none of this would be possible.
I would also like to emphasize at this time our mission as a company, which is “to raise the quality of life for millions of people by giving away a Genie for every PC in the world”. I know this is a bold statement; but having the Genie used for over 30,000,000 price comparisons in our first two years of operation, I believe that giving away millions is a realistic goal.
Our business is modeled after one of the most successful companies in history, Google. Google’s product is search, which it does very well, capturing 74% of the search market. However, Google’s penetration in the shopping market is much smaller. We help improve their business model in the area of saving time and money for the online shopper. Google is free to the user and makes its money through pay-per-click advertising … so do we. We are poised to harness the growing online retail market by helping consumers save money and make money online better than anyone.
MyNet Universe is positioned for 2010 with the perfect product in the perfect market to have a truly remarkable year. Thank you for joining me as we change the Internet, one Shopper at a time!
Sincerely,
David Freed, President and CEO
MyNet Universe, Inc.

The Company
MyNet Universe is the exclusive home of MyShoppingGenie, a revolutionary new Web App. You may be wondering why we named this innovative Internet solution the Genie after the mythical character that Aladdin released from his lamp. Like Aladdin's genie, MyShoppingGenie has an almost magical ability to grant our wishes for saving money, making money and for helping us make a positive impact on our world.
MyShoppingGenie enables the average person to take advantage of major trends in our economy. The first is the fact that saving money has become very hip. Some people are even saying that saving money is the new green.
MyShoppingGenie is right at the center of this because when you use the Genie, you can save money on the things you need. How does this work? Whenever you look to buy something online using any major search engine like Google or Yahoo, the Genie appears; and just like magic, it cuts through the clutter to find you the best deals on virtually anything you're looking for.
Why is the Genie so important? The Internet has the appearance of offering unlimited choices, but nothing is further from the truth. The major search engines charge online retailers' or sellers' fees to appear near the top of their search results. This means that much of what you see when searching for something you need is not necessarily the best deal for you but, rather, what benefits the major search engine. The Genie is different because it puts you, the customer, first by enabling you to better manage your search results so that you can find a better buy.
Secondly, you can also make money online with MyShoppingGenie because when someone uses the free Genie that you gave them and buys something from one of the hundreds of top online retailers, these companies then share their Affiliate commissions with you; and you make money.
MyNet Universe is making MyShoppingGenie available to give the consumer unlimited choices in the marketplace. The Genie breaks the limitations of shopping at one store or the confines of an online buying club. The Genie breaks the limitations created by the major search engines controlling what we see in our search results, thus giving us more choices. Finally, the Genie can be your online business that can create the wealth you need for the life you want so that you can change the world in any way you choose.
