MLM opportunities

[Barry]

I am with homeexec.

I have in the past tried MLM and have had little success, but these were promoting companies that were involved in the little 'fads' I had when I first started trying to earn money from the internet - ie the old spedia ad bar stuff (advertising bar in the sys tray), downline clubs, paid to read email crap - infact the schemes I tried were probably a more pyramid shaped than MLM

The only thing I have tried as MLM I spose was the better ware catalogues where I tried to get other people to get rounds and distribute stuff for a % of the comission.

Either way nothing has worked better for me than affiliate marketing.

Your not limited to a product or company. You can adapt more easily with whats in demand by the consumer.

I tend to watch TV and read papers and think of the search queries that 'consumer' would make to find items to buy - and if any manufacturers/companys/shops are not advertising it then I find a program that will pay me for it and get their links up.

IMO - in MLM you have to be in one of the first tiers to actually make anything, so unless you thought of the idea yourslef or your best mates with them your not going to be in that position. With affiliate marketing, you have a good chance of finding a nich with your own self deduction - which makes you the number one to think of it, ie the top of the chain.

If you want residual income - maybe look at promoting bingo, gambling, sportsbook programs?

I agree, you need a productline that is high quality, and there are lots of them in the industry. But you can have your house full of wonderful products, without manage to sell them. People doesn`t just line up infront of your door. You need to know how to get the massage out there, and it should be placed in front of people that are looking for your product...so they can come to you. And not the other way around.

Most entrepreneurs in the industry do not have the knowledge, skills or ability to create a functional and attractive marketing system for themselves. Most people just have no idea how to create highly converting capture pages, how to write compelling ad copy, and how to structure follow-ups and sales funnels that put profits in their pockets right away and sign up new distributors into their business.

And its because of this, that most network marketers will never have the success that they deserve and will continue to struggle using outdated and ineffective tactics that their up-line was using 10 years ago.

So... our task is to help all distributers, to get the tools and the knowledge they need, to become successful, as soon as possible. To provide them with a system...

They should not have to keep on prospecting, buying leads, chasing friends & family, sending people to lame corporate websites and trying to "sell" them on the incredible biz opp.
That is "old school" mlm tactics, and infact it damage the business more than doing good.

How's that "old school" tactics doing for you, by the way?

The distributers need to position themself with the leaders and the top producers in this industry.
We need to become leaders and get ourself on the cutting-edge of where this industry is going in the next few years and start using Automated Systems to generate incredible profits and more distributors than we can even imagine at this point.

Honestly... I don't think there is other way around this.

I am absolutely sick and tired of seeing people struggle like I did for years in this industry. I have worked my butt off to achieve success for myselves, and I have worked even harder for my team as. I truly believe that my mission in life is to inspire, empower and lift up as many people as I can to achieve their unlimited potential and it is this passion and drive that motivated me to this point right here and now.

What if we simply gave to them, the EXACT SAME Marketing Systems and Sales Funnels, Websites, Capture Pages, Autoresponders... EVERYTHING... that we personally use to create unlimited leads and profits in our businesses?

Do you think that possibly this might help them in a big way to finally start PROFITING from their internet business?

Do you think it might be a lot easier for them to have some success if ALL of the toughest, most complicated and challenging obstacles were simply removed from the equation?

Funnily enough, that's what I'm in the process of doing now.



The company I'm with, were going to go down the traditional marketing route, but then decided to turn to Network Marketing (MLM) instead.

It's a new and unique business, or will be when it's fully launched. But the new thing, I think, they have done is create 4 profit sharing pools for payment of commission.

So all income from customers whether from retail sales, Virtual sales of land, advertising or gambling income is become split between pools and the company.

Original I think.

And a change from the normal MLM structures, that people join and fail.

And like you I've tried a few. Couldn't pound the streets like Betterware or Kleeneze though.

Like to be nice and warm.

Funny thing is about MLM while I have seen people rave about it on forums I have I never actually ever compiled a tax return for a client involved in MLM that has made a sizable taxable profit.

I have however helped quite a few unfortunate people claim loss relief when its all gone a bit wrong.

This of course is merely a staw poll based on the clients I have seen come across my desk over the years but its a rather surprising anomaly if MLM is all its cracked up to be.

It seems to work for some people, like you I signed up to one and I use the products. They said you only need to do 10-15 hours a week - rubbish! The only ones who are successful at it do it full time and then some more, each to their own I say.

I don`t agree. The ones that uses the "old shool" methods have to use more time, and still they won`t manage to earn more than they use. Are you chasing people, making lists,cold calling etc. there is a big chance that you, after several years, still dosen`t earn money enough to provide for your family. I have met several hard working entrepreneurs, still struggeling eaven they have been working hard.

But if you work smart with you business, it will soon work for you. That requires knowledge about how to market your business effectively.
Like
==> how to generate your own endless supply of leads
==> how to have people chasing you about your business
==> how to make sales without EVER SELLING!
==> how to make money from people that DON'T even join your business

If you have this know how, you wont have to use lots of ours a day to work your business.

Barry, I was a distributor for Kleeneze before I JOined UW, and I can see exactly where you re coming from. However, I have to say that UW are the best motivating MLM that I have ever been in contact with and the peer assistance is amazing, right from the guys who have been doing it for years to the newcomers. Utilities is Big Business and with only 1% of the potential market going to our distributors, just cos we can't get to everyone(but we are working on it!) that is one heck of a potential for anyone wanting to strt up in an MLM and have a flourishing busines. Yes Like all job,work and businesses you have to work at it. You dont get anything for nothing but the rewards are definitely there I have had some and I have only been in this business for 14 months.

Anyway good luck to everyone with their businesses whatever they are.

Best wishes

I would say that with most MLM type business.

If your going to join one, do it part time.

Don't ever pack in your job.. not until you've built up enough income from the opportunity to replace the wage you were earning.

couldn't agree more Gamesman. Working for yourself is very rewarding when things go right, but building your business up to a solid state is paramount before you chuck in your job or change your lifestyle too much. The brilliant thing about the one I am with is that my business income can go to my daughter should I pop my clogs! and that is very comforting to know.

Hi Seb

I have recently joined Wikaniko also. I think it has a lot of potential. More than a lot of other MLM opportunities as the products are so varied and so ethical.

Lets hope we can make a success of it.

HI,

i have been in network marketing now for 9 years in one way or another, and find it really great..

the biggest problem that you will find, is that it takes a while to generate an income which will allow you to work full time on only the one program.. however, with the right company. this can although take time can be very fullfilling..

i personally know people who make more money a month than i have ever made in a year..

just my thoguhts

cheers
