subject: The Rarely Told Fact About Mlm [print this page] I am going to speak about some thing that seems to be one of those things that individuals either love or hate. What I'm speaking about is multilevel marketing, also known as mlm or multi-level marketing. Right from the beginning I will say that there isn't any need to have extreme views about this, it is simply a enterprise model that you could use when you wish.
Nevertheless, it's essential that you understand HOW the business model of multilevel marketing works. I think you'll find basically two reasons that some individuals seem to be almost electrocuted, simply by hearing somebody mention the word network marketing. Either they have tried it themselves, or because they didn't have an idea on easy methods to do it they failed miserably. Or they belong to the group of people who can't get the theory that network marketing means pyramid scheme out of their heads.
This view on multi-level marketing shows that the speaker is ignorant. He or she hasn't done an ounce of due diligence on the various businesses that are available to each of us today, as well as they are ignorant of the business itself. This means they aren't serious. It means they "would like" to make a lot more money, but have no objective of making it happen. They continually "look" for home businesses, that is enough to satisfy their minds that they "did almost everything they could", but almost everything they uncover there is flawed plus are "scams". They are looking to buy "hope", not a business.
There is a Chinese saying that goes something like this: "If you spend too much time thinking about your next step, you are going to be standing on one leg for the rest of your life". Yes, you'll find scams out there, but network marketing is not a dirty word and it is not a synonym for scam. Get over it! As for the comparison to a pyramid in general - think of any business that comes to mind. The business will possibly have a Boss, president, vice presidents, midsection management, a sales force, plus hourly employees. It goes not having saying that the guy at the top, the Boss, is going to make the most money, as well as the compensations continue to reduce down the ladder which starts at his cushy leather chair. The only method to get money more and also move up the ladder is to boot somebody else out of their spot - as well as this is what people call okay and normal!
Not to mention the truth that the company slave masters seem to have no issue with working individuals to the limits...and then kicking them out the door before any of the benefits kick in. (As always there are some exceptions, obviously). How is this any less pyramid than multi-level marketing? All folks within the business work hard, but ONLY those at the very top have "permission" to make a lot of money.
