For a good majority of people, this is the way to go. I have met a few men and women over the years that swear by it and are doing very well with it. I know a few Men and Women who make over $100k a year working their multi level marketing program. The unfortunate story about it is that they were the only ones making some money.
For a good major of aspiring Entrepreneurs, this is the way to go I have met a few people over the years that swear by it. I know a few aspiring Entrepreneurs who make over $100k a year working their multi level marketing program. It's unfortunate that they were the only ones making money. But no one on their team was duplicating the efforts they were doing. Weather they were selling vitamins, travel, a gas saver product, lotions, potions, pills, candles or juice beverage products, I have literally tried it all and it was a difficult task for me.
Once I ran out of my friends and family to bug about my new business, once I had two or three home parties, I ran out of leads, so I started purchasing leads in hopes to try to convert some people into my business. I even had the insane notion of walking up to total strangers in the mall to try to sell them my program. (A word of wisdom, don'tever do that, it angers people and you end up looking like a fool.) That is so much harder than it sounds. Sure I made sales, but by the time I was getting to the next profit level, the people who I brought in 2-3 months ago were out of the business. This is why I could never make it to the next payout level of the commission plan.
For some reason, I would fall short of the next bonus payout or car bonus. Usually, I would fall short of the personal volume or the group volume or I would have enough on my left side, but not enough on my right side, so I would completely miss out on the big payouts, month after month.
This got to be the same old story you hear about why MLM doesn't work for most people and the only people making money were the people at the top of the pyramid. People with massive downlines and people that have been in the business a long time and lists of over hundreds of thousands of people to market to. For any new person to join, good luck to you all. I once watched a stay at home mom put $15,000 into a business to quit within a year. Most of us are smarter than that and would have quit after a few months and maybe only lost $1000 , but this person was persistent and did not want to fail. So she kept plugging away until they had no money left and when gas prices went to $3.50, the man of the house couldn't afford to put gas in the car. So much for helping out.
The only thing I have found online to work for most people is a direct sales company that pays you directly. Companies that have a price point of less than $1000 to start. This is the only way you have a good chance to succeed. Beware of these $1500 to $5000 programs, the start up company and program jumpers. The truth about start ups is that they have little or no track record. You have no idea if they will even be in business two years later. I personally would look for companies that have been around for at least 3 years or more.Watch out for people who jump ship every time a new program comes out on the internet. Most critically, I would be careful of the program that costs more than $1000.00. Most people are not able to afford that. Thesedays, the easiest sales are around $200 from a reputable company.
I hope this helps your research in finding the best company that you can be proud to represent. I highly recommend The Million Mail Program. Keep reading more to discover the shocking truth
Here some ghastly facts I discovered. The Million Mail Program has been around for many years. Originally it was totally offline for 6 years. The method of promoting they used was direct response mail letters and inexpensive postcards. After much success they decided to move it into the online internet world. Now to date this program hasbeen online on the internet for over 3 years and shows no sign of shutting down. The program is very intriguing.
For starters, you do get a real physical product mailed toyour doorstep. This product is a cd-rom that can be played on your computer. The information on this cd-rom in invaluable. It will teach you how to effectively do postcardmarketing and start pocketing $100 per sale. You can print out the information and make it into a book format if you choose. That is my personal preference. Then in addition to that you get a free customizable capture page and website. You can put your own photos, youtube videos, and audios on these pages that will personally brand you. That is whatis called "Attraction Marketing". It is very effective and neccesary to your online success. This is very important because sending people to the generic company website with no capture page is not only unwise, but it's a waste of your time and money. You also will get a free autoresponder. This is very important because as research shows it takes a minimum of 7 contacts on average with your prospects before they will consider buying your product or service. The Million Mail Program converts onaverage 1 sale per 14 opt-ins. You will also be building you very own mailing lists. Every seasoned internet marketer knows that the money is in the list. So not only can you promote this program to your prospects, but other offers as well. My experience has been great with thhis program. I've had many days where a have earned $500-$600 per day. I have helped many of the people on my team do the same.
This is my final thoughts: Don't fall for all the hype and B.S. that the "gurus" are trying to sell you. From my research I believe that the Million Mail Program is a legit home based business with great potential. Of course, with any business venture hard work, determination, discipline, and that "never give up" spirit is required to succeed. If you are willing to follow my advice I believe you can be successful.
