Why do many people think that MLM is a scam. Have you ever heard these before?
- they are pyramids and illegal
- the top makes all the money
- there is money involved
- can I really earn back the money?
These reasons are probably just a sampling of what's out here...
What causes me to write this article?
This morning as I woke up, I realize that life itself has absolutely NO guarantee!
The fact that you are reading this is because I managed to wake up and...wrote this article. The common saying goes that in life, there are three guarantees:
- life
- death
- taxes
As I near middle age, some of my friends already passed on. While a few became successfully, some went bankrupt. But most stayed with their jobs...
Thus, in life itself, it's hard to predict what's going to happen.
So, is LIFE a scam?
To me, MLM or network marketing is a smart way of distributing products with a good compensation plan to reward those who work hard at bringing customers to the company.
Therefore, since MLM is not a get-rich-quick scheme, why should everyone succeed - as in life - just by joining an MLM or network marketing business?
In fact, if you think about it, MLM or network marketing gives those with not much to hope for in life a second chance - to start a business a low cost - to rebuild their lives. Like the education system in many countries, MLM or network marketing levels the playing field. However, a few core attributes are essential for success:
- compelling reason to achieve their dreams and goals
- burning desire to succeed despite whatever obstacles along the way
- sense of urgency to take action without procrastination

Network Marketing Keys to Success
In today's economy, many people are looking for ways to
help create financial security. Some have resorted to real estate,
others have tried their hands in the stock market. But
today, more and more people are looking at the opportunities that
the network marketing industry can provide.
Unfortunately, people sometimes get the wrong impression of
exactly what network marketing is all about. Network marketing
isn't about taking advantage of your friends and relatives and
getting them to buy useless widgets. Instead, network marketing
is a people-to-people business that can allow the average person
create a long term, growing business by sharing products and
opportunity to the masses in a grass roots fashion.
It can be easy, it can be fun, but it does require a easy to
follow set of rules in order to succeed.
In this little essay and future installments, I'm going to share
some of my thoughts on finding success in network marketing. Some
of these thoughts may be very detailed, some will be overviews,
some of them will be train of thought concepts that I discover as
I'm working my network marketing business.
In this issue, I'm going to outline 4 key components you should
consider when choosing a company to work with.
Timing:
In real estate the old adage is "location, location, location".
In network marketing it's "Timing, timing timing".
Network marketing companies go through various growth phases and
there are specific times in this growth cycle where the
opportunity is the best for the average person. It's often
better to get into a program earlier rather than later. Yes,
there will be growing pains and occasional challenges as a
younger company grows. But the benefit of being in early and
being part of momentum growth is where fortunes have been made.
Yes, you could become part of an older company and do well in
it. But it will be tougher to find new people to share the
product and opportunity.
Suggestion: Get into a program early in its life-cycle for
maximum benefit.
Product:
History has shown that certain product lines are usually successful.
Things like nutritionals, health care and beauty have traditionally
been winners. But thanks to the world of the
internet and technology, other products are also achieving
success. Products that in the past could not have had success
since technology was not as advanced. Service products,
financial products and self improvement products are being
promoted very successfully via network marketing.
So, there are hot new concepts and products that are starting to
take the network marketing world by storm.
But there is one thing that is vital to your success in network
marketing. Choose a company and product that you can be excited
about. If you don't believe in nutritional supplements, don't
join a vitamin company. Don't understand, use or like makeup?
Don't join a cosmetic company.
Join a company that has a product line and philosophy that meshes
with your personality. By doing that it will make the process of
sharing the product and opportunity easier since you are a
"believer" in the product.
Also the product should be fairly priced for the masses. You don't
want to be selling light bulbs for $100 each!
Suggestion: Get into a program with a product that you believe
in or a product you would use. And a product that is reasonably
priced for the value of the product provided.
Compensation:
Unless you are going to join a network marketing company for
the product, more than likely, you will be wanting to make the
jump into a program to make money sharing the product and
opportunity. When you want to do that, you have to look at the
compensation system put in place by the company.
Compensation plans can vary wildly, and can often confuse people
when they see it. As my old grandpa used to say:
"If it's confusing, they're trying to hide something".
That is my philosophy in compensation plans as well!
When choosing a company look for a plan that is fair and easy to
understand. It should reward you well for initial sales of product and
should reward you for your organization purchasing /
selling the product to their customers.
Suggestion: Simpler is better when it comes to compensation.
Mentorship:
Network marketing is about building long term and profitable
relationships with your organization. That includes your downline
AND upline.
One of the biggest keys to success in network marketing is having
a good mentor / upline available to coach you and guide you along
the way as you build your business. Bottom line? You should
choose your downline AND upline carefully.
When you recruit people you want them to be coachable and use the
systems and programs available and you should do it too.
Each member should use their upline for training and guidance.
So when deciding to enter a company, I suggest interviewing
potential upline leaders / upline teams to see if you are all on
the same page and can work together.
I have joined programs in the past where the upline and I did not
see eye to eye and the whole business was a disaster.
Suggestion: Find an upline that you feel comfortable with
and is available to help you. AND be sure you recruit distributors
that you will be able to work with as well.

"A formal education will make you a living, but self education will make you a fortune" - Jim Rohn
When you build people internally with personal development, they build the business. "That has been true for every seven-figure-earning network marketing leader I've met and has been true in my network marketing career"
Since the company's founding in January 2005, Success University has seen stable growth month after month and produce more than seven figures in revenue in first year in the business and experienced more than 300 percent growth in second year.
In third year will explode into eight figures in revenue, which is exciting for our affiliates, because over half of that revenue is paid back in commission.
In the next three to five years, Success University will become 100 million company and over the next 10 years aim to have students more that 1 million worldwide, making Success University the dominant company in the personal development industry.

The truth offline and online network marketing
Have you ever been so excited you can't sleep at night? I think most of us has been in this experiences. When I got started, I knew that this program will change my life, however I was so excited till didn't know what to do. One thing I know is I was hungry for success...
The secret to successful internet network marketing, whether offline or online network marketing are not all that much different. When promoting a network marketing opportunity offilne, whether it's through buying and cold calling leads or a direct mail campaign, your job is to expose your offer to as many people as possible.
The story does not change when you promote your business ONLINE. Getting your offer seen by as many people as possible translates online to : Targeted TRAFFIC generation.
The amount of targeted TRAFFIC that you can generate to your lead capture page, as describe above in the "Perfect Internet Network Marketing System" section, is directly proportional to the amount of success that you will have promoting your opportunity online.
It's that simple!
The challange is most network marketers don't know anything about generating unique and highly targeted traffic online, so many of them fall into traffic generation traps that waste their time and money.
My goal is not to have this happen to you. I will only discuss traffic generation methods that are tried and true.
