subject: Gpt Model Vs Mlm ' Is Mlm Really Dead? Has Gpt's Brutality Taken Over? [print this page] Only a few years ago MLM was considered an incredible opportunity with astronomical potential for the average 'joe' to make money from home. Certain networkers who were committed and determined to reach extreme heights of success also dominated the industry as they rose above and beyond the rest to earn their respective places as top earners across several MLM's. As they say 'Time Flies By' and a new concept has made an appearance. GPT, an acronym for Get Paid Today has rose from the dust and jumped right into the scene causing quite an uproar. The two monolithic giants are now in an all out battle to the death. Who will take over? GPT Vs MLM is the clash of the new age in the internet home business industry. But the question is quite simple. Who will win?
Once upon a time things were different but MLM has been destroy, it's no longer like we used to know it. In addition, the industry has turned into a chaotic mess. Every other day we hear about a new pre-launch MLM firing up. Companies are claiming they will revolutionise the world with the latest super juice or wonder pill. A product that can generally be bought locally for half the price, where it is simply sold 'as is' without the over hype.
Like a pack of monkeys chasing the last banana on the planet. The networkers hurl themselves in groups numbering the tens of thousands to hit the next pre-launch MLM and "get in on the top" of the next company. Regardless of the company, after the music stops, 8 to 12 months down the track the cycle will be repeated.
Like lemmings, this hoard of networkers destroys a relatively new company as they leave. Only to flock to the next doomed to fail pre-launch.
Throughout this process, new reps in your downline will not typically outlast a pitiful 90 days. $300 will be the first complaint. A complaint that it was an overpriced investment. Second, when the new recruits do not see instant results, they will come running to you for help, again complaining without having put in a reasonably effort to start with. This destroys your residual checks with compensation plans requiring you to "get 3, who get 3, who get 3" as those who get more than 2 are few and far between.
The idea of a dream lifestyle that is 'sold' to new recruits is now just a badly attempted and over hyped sales pitch. Creating a 'life-long' residual income through the power of a strong downline used to be a quite viable option.
But, your attempts to build a successful downline full of leaders is like trying to fill a bucket. A bucket half full of water, a pessimistic bucket, with a hole, the bucket stays half full as you fill it again and again. You will never be able to plug it. Today it is only a fabricated lie that will never become a reality.
Choosing to play the MLM game in this new internet age you will find yourself building, from scratch, a new business every 9 - 12 month, perhaps 15 months if they get a streak of good luck. A harsh reality, but a truth. This is Network Marketing in the age we live in, 2010 and beyond...
GPT is rapidly taking over as the problem solver. More and more networkers are choosing to Get Paid Today as they are sick and tired of the pitfalls and ridiculous challenges traditional MLM brings to the table. The GPT business model is based on Top Tier companies with higher end product paying out $1,000 or more in commissions for each sale.
A higher 'buy in' cost attracts the motivated and higher caliber networkers as opposed to those in MLM complaining about tiny start-up costs and wanting their hand held all day.
It is much easier to make 4 sales per month to create a $4,000/m income than attempting to recruit 50 to 100 new reps into your business knowing they will drop off like swatted flies within 90 days. The bonus GPT offers is the minimum of $1,000 commission per sale. Regardless of the sale being a recruited business builder or purely a customer sale.
We must also consider the unique compensation plan of the GPT model. Top Tier opportunities provide a compensation plan going down no more than a few levels, but paying out a very high rate of commission. One customer per week provides you with the potential of producing an income 10x greater than $4,000/m. Do the math, and you will clearly see the potential of the big picture.
Now consider when you get paid, you get paid today and your money is worth more today than in 3 years time if it were paid out on a residual basis. So for a moment consider you have built yourself up to a $4,000 per month residual income level through traditional Network Marketing. In 3 years you will have been paid $144,000.
The alternative and the smarter method would be to have that money in the form of GPT as getting paid today would pay you the money in the first 6 to 12 months when it is worth the most, not over 3 years after inflation steals it's worth. However, we cannot forget the challenges faced in MLM and the likelihood you will lose half your residual income from your downline jumping ship to the next pre-launch. Something to think about.
It is now all up to you to make the choice. The GPT concept Vs MLM is an ongoing war, a clash that will continue for years to come.
Have you struggled in traditional MLM in the past? Are you a first timer looking to start an online business? GPT is recognised as an upgrade take up after a few failed MLM's. But regardless of your situation, you now have the facts and you need to asses which opportunity fits your situation. Only you can be the judge.
