What REALLY is Network Marketing and MLM- Bottom Line? Want to know? This may open your eyes to a whole new paradigm! Read on!

The question MANY people have as they THINK about starting a home-business is this:

WHAT REALLY IS Network Marketing and MLM?

Depends.

What you see Network Marketing and MLM as, has a lot to do with your perspective you were given at the time you were signed up, or what you have heard from other people if you are just looking at Network marketing and considering MLM. Every company has their own “Corporate Culture” that is unique to them, and is part of who they are.

This will influence heavily your view of what Network Marketing is. We will simply give you our views and definition after 22 years in the industry, and also to empower your ability to perform in the marketplace with Network Marketing at maximum capacity.

Network Marketing, or MLM, is considered basically a personal channel of distribution business ,for goods and services that also can have a “Mini Franchise” opportunity attached. We call Network Marketing “Personal Distribution.” You can join a network marketing company and personally distribute your products to customers, and then recruit a Rep group that you can obtain a percentage of royalties from, by overriding your groups volume. This is much like a real estate broker, and this allows you to build an override structure off of what volume and business your team builds.

And most look at Network Marketing as exactly that. A system for creating wealth through your efforts as well as other people’s efforts.

Nothing wrong there, but there is a huge void in that reality. Before you can build a group that does not fall apart, or go away, you MUST understand what MLM and network marketing REALLY is from a Big Picture standpoint, and all the rest will fall into line. There are many explanations out in the marketplace of Network Marketing, but let’s look at it from a BIGGER Picture, and Bottom Line.

All Network Marketing REALLY is, is a Personal Development System, masterfully molded into a business of product distribution, that can be duplicated. Did you get that?

READ THAT AGAIN!

What that means is Network Marketing and MLM requires and DEMANDS Personal Growth and Development from you in order to Succeed in this business. There is no other way to Succeed in Network Marketing.

Why?

Here is an INFERNO Secret that MOST people will never tell you when you first come into MLM:

Most people bring inadequate attitudes, skills and habits to Network Marketing, and with that, they try to build a business with skills that have produced failure in the past, and guarantee failure again.

No, they don’t plan to fail, they just have not developed the necessary skills to the level that is required to Succeed in MLM, simple and plain. Those skills cannot PRODUCE Success because they are not prepared FOR success.

tyle3 align=left>Did you get that?

And most are never told that their skills are lacking and need refining and building. Network Marketing is not a cake walk, and does require a SOLID set of skills to Succeed.

And that is why we at PassionFire believe that LEADERSHIP is the Secret Weapon to this business of Network Marketing. People will follow you into this business, if you lead them with strength, and grow them into Success. You must learn to lead you and others on a Power Path of Growth, which will increase the odds of you Succeeding in MLM Tremendously.

You must Learn in Network Marketing and MLM:

1. Company info and how to present.
2. Product Info and how to present.
3. Pay Plan info and the parts to it.
4. How to Recruit.
5. How to Train.
6. How to Duplicate and more.

And HOW you do that will depend on the Skillset you bring to this business. Especially the Master Skill- The COMMUNICATION skill.

Here is a Secret. You get PAID to do one thing in Network Marekting, and everything else revolves around it.

What is it?

COMMUNICATING with people!

And if you bring an inadequate communication style, habits, focus, and skills with you into this business, you will fail. Period.

Leadership, partly, is about Masterful Communication, and no matter how good you are with people, you MUST have a masterful skillset to communicate with folks, and that is where Personal Growth comes in for network marketing.

You must grow and develop your skills to the level that this business DEMANDS, and that requires work, study, and experience in the field.

ALL millionaires in this business GREW to the level of GREATNESS that was required of them and beyond. Most did not come into Network Marketing with those skills already intact. They GREW INTO the Business, day by day, week by week, call by call, and hour by hour.

Now the Question is, How?

The answer is through MLM and Network Marketing Personal Development, and Mastery in Communication. Those are TWO KEY Secrets to both MLM and Network Marketing Leadership Success.

Yes, Network Marketing is:

1. A channel and business of Personal Distribution.
2. A Business of “Mini Franchises” that can be duplicated.
3. A direct sales business.
4. A “People Business” for average people to grow to do extraordinary things.

BUT, in wrapping this up, all Leaders understand the TRUE business they are in, in Network Marketing. You are in the business of Touching and Changing People’s Lives, Including your own!”

In the palm of your hand, you hold a Power with MLM. It is a Power to change people’s lives radically, in many ways, with what this industry can bring to it, as well as bring to your own life. What you do with that Life Changing Power in Network Marketing is up to you!

You can tap into that Power and start a WildFire of Growth and Success in your life, and then Spread the Fire to others. How? Through Growth and increasing your own skills as well as others through
Engaging this business of Network marketing on a daily basis, and teaching it to others, so they can do the same.

And then, an amazing thing happens:

We call it the “DoubleBuild”.(sm). As you build the business, the business is building you!

And that is how you grow in this business. By studying it, doing it, and focusing on Personal Growth in Network Marketing, and the rest will help create the Person you need to become, in order to create the Life you want to live, and help others do the same, through Leadership.

Network Marketing then, is a Power you have tapped into. A Life-changing Power, that demands growth from you, to be able to unleash that greatness inside of you, and then help others do the same through their business (which is your downline).

That is How you Create Wealth in this business. Get into the business, grow into the business, and then seed and grow greatness into others, through the Power in this business called Network Marketing. And YOU can create wealth like crazy in MLM, with that formula!

Bottom Line, that is what MLM and Network Marketing is truly about and really is: A Personal Distribution System for products, that can be taught and duplicated by other people, and when you do that, it changes people’s lives and lifestyle with it’s multiplying income and life changing power. THAT REALLY is Network marketing and MLM.

MLM Prospecting- A SCORCHING MLM Prospecting Secret- 2 Streets Over

What is “2 Streets Over” and why does it make your business triple? Read on!


MLM Prospecting is an action that many folks struggle with, and they really should not have to. Prospects are EVERYWHERE if you are just aware of them. We have what I call “Prospecting Radar” and most of the time, the distributor’s radar is turned off or ineffective.


There are more people than you can count on any given day that you walk past or drive by. There are according to the US government, about 150 homes in the average neighborhood. Each neighborhood has about 2.5 people in the house. And there are usually 5-7 neighborhoods between you and where you are employed.


That means there are about 2,200 people everday you drive past or at least where they live. and there are about 40-50 neighborhoods in the average town.


One of the most powerful MLM Prospecting secrets is what we call
“2 Streets Over” Prospecting.


INFERNO Secret:


There is more business in your neighborhood than you could possibly write.


“2 Streets Over” is an MLM Prospecting secret that we used for years. Most people Never work their neighborhood, but that really is crazy. You have something in common with all of them:


You are their neighbor, and have a geographical commonality and closeness.


Why not utilize that to your advantage?


What you need to do, is think about becoming the “Local Neighborhood ABC Company Rep” and start looking towards that journey. You can identify yourself in many ways as the local neighborhood ABC Rep, and introduce yourself as such. And you will be shocked at the nice response that you usually will get. People seem to appreciate neighbors, and when you can show them something that would enhance their life, many folks respond in a positive fashion to this Network Marketing prospecting strategy.


How can you communicate this to your neighbors that you are in business?


1) Snail Mail.


Simply send them a piece in the mail introducing yourself as the neighborhood ABC Rep and you would love to meet them and give them a free gift. This gift could be a sample product, or a CD about a product, or a coupon for something free. You can call them to follow up as well if you choose to make the mail piece more effective.


2) Doorhangers.


This is a tried and true way of introducing yourself. Real Estate people use this a lot. An MLM company I am blessed to consult with, used door hangers on their “2 Streets Over” program. Their volume per consultant quradrupled for those who did this. The doorhanger does not have to be complicated. Just let the doorhanger introduce yourself, and tell them you would love to meet them sometime. We used “I am just hanging around wanting to meet you!” or “Is your future hanging on your bosse’s decisions?”


3) Voice Mail.


You can find out your neighbors phone number by going to anywho.com and do a reverse look up with the address. Call them and simply introduce yourself as a neighbor and you have a free gift for them. And the best gift is a sample of your products or services. Leave a 30 second message and your phone number. Be friendly and warm.


4) Hold a neighborhood Bar b que or cook out.


Hold a social function and invite your neighbors. They will appreciate the gesture, and you can get to know them and get their phone numbers and set up appointments as well when you call them a few days later.


5) Go for a walk daily, and talk to who you see.


Do this everyday at different times. Many people are outside working on the lawn between 6:30 pm and 9 pm. Introduce yourself, and talk about your neighbor, and what they do, how many kids they have, and their life. Get to know them. Then introduce yourself as the neighborhood ABC rep and then after you feel timing is good, ask them if they know anyone who would benefit from your products. Do this all over your neighborhood. Not just your street, but every street in your neighborhood. Tell them that you are their neighbor and you live “2 Streets Over” or a few streets over. This is sizzling Network Marketing Prospecting in action.


INFERNO Secret:


You neighbors have a warm market that you need to tap into. Ask then for an introduction to a friend that has a challenge and show them your products or services has a solution for them. Your neighbors know a TON of folks.


MLM Prospecting “2 Streets Over” is a powerful way to get to know your neighbors, but also who they know. Be friendly, be warm, and always ask how their family is doing when you see them, and mail your neighbors every 90 days with a flyer or special with a personal note that will compel them to call you or ask about when they see you.


In your neighborhood is a gold mine. Are you digging it? That is one of the most powerful secrets in MLM and Network Marketing Prospecting.

MLM Success Requires Leadership and Professionalism

MLM can be a viable, wonderful business that enables you to reach any goals in life you wish to attain.

If you want to be successful at MLM, it is time to start thinking of yourself as the professional that you aspire to be - not as someone who sends out a different hyped-up email every week or works one of those “MLM deals.”

I know that you have a burning desire to succeed because you are reading this blog. And because you do want to succeed, it is time to start thinking of yourself as the professional that every one of your prospects will expect you to be. The sooner you start thinking of yourself as a professional doing professional things, the sooner you will become one.

As a professional network marketer - a heavy-hitter in the making - you are a leader, an entrepreneur, someone who believes in what you are doing. A leader is a self-starter, not someone who sits around waiting for his or her upline to do the work. A leader takes responsibility for his or her own success. They don’t blame their sponsor or the program when they fail.

There are thousands of very successful people in this business who had very poor sponsors, and yet they are making thousands of dollars a month! (And you can count me as one of those). An MLM leader likes people and is concerned for their success and well being, and this is evident in the way they treat their downline and the prospects they communicate with.

It is also very evident in the programs they choose to promote. If you are concerned about the well-being of the prospects you bring into this business, you won’t offer them scams or get-rich-quick schemes. You will offer programs that they can be proud of, that will offer them an income for many years to come!

A leader is self-confident and enjoys what they are doing. A leader is someone who knows their own strengths and how to take advantage of them, their weaknesses and how to compensate. A leader is a continual learner as well as being a teacher.

Leaders don’t wait for some guru to take them to the Promised Land. They get the best map they can find, prepare themselves for the journey, and start out a step at a time.

And they keep going, even when it gets rough or they have to make adjustments to their route. I am convinced that most people can become a leader by simply deciding to be one! Once you make the decision, you’ll start doing the work it requires.

It’s no accident that some of the most successful network marketers were first managers or professionals in other fields. They already have the background knowledge of how successful businesses are run. They already know how to be leaders, and they bring this with them.

Most of these people also understand the kind of ongoing investment required to make a business work. They joined this industry because they wanted to keep the profits they produced, rather than giving them back to their boss or corporation.

These are the very people who can make the most difference in your downline, the kind of prospects who can cause a literal recruiting explosion and make you a lot of money! If you want to attract this kind of prospect, you must first be a professional yourself, not someone playing a money game!

These people know how to ask the right questions when evaluating a business opportunity, and they will expect a lot out of you as a business partner. If you can deliver, you will profit greatly.

I challenge you right now to start thinking of yourself as the leader you aspire to be. You are a professional in a wonderful industry with a lot to offer, particularly in this era of layoffs and downsizing.

You have financial freedom, security, and a more “people friendly” lifestyle to offer. You provide a life-enhancing service that is needed by a lot of people, just as surely as a doctor, lawyer, accountant, engineer, or computer programmer offers a needed service.

And unlike these other professionals, your service can truly change the lives of those you work with in some v
ery profound and lasting ways! Be proud of what you do and what you have to offer!

The network marketing industry is in great need of professionals who operate their businesses with integrity. The “money gamers,” the scam artists, and those who go through the revolving door give us all a bad name and make our work harder.

By becoming the leader you were meant to be, you will not only make a lot more money. But you’ll also be doing your part to preserve the industry that can earn you a terrific living!

Build A Huge MLM/Affiliate Business With Unlimited Free Pay-Per-Click Advertising

No business can survive on the Internet unless the website is getting a lot of traffic in a cost effective manner. One of the main forms of Internet advertising to get traffic and build your MLM/Affiliate business is Pay-Per-Click. The response from this type of advertising is generally a very low percentage, but with the high number of people it reaches at a fairly low price, that does not matter.

However, if you are new and want to test the water before you spend any money there are free options that you can try. Many Search Engines providing Pay-Per-Click advertising will let you ?try before you buy?, giving you an approximate value ranging between $1 to $25 worth of free advertising with them. As you can bid as low as $0.01 per keyword with many of them, $20 worth of free adverts could give you 2,000 click adverts to your MLM (or other) website.

There are over 70 such Search Engines where you can get free trial Pay-Per-Click adverts. That means that you can submit different adverts to see which ones work best. If you are tight on time, you can issue one advert to say 5 Search Engines and then two weeks later try a different advert to another 5 Search Engines and so on. After trying a few you can release the best performing advert to the remaining Search Engines.

RED HOT TIP: If you go back to those same Search Engines and give different contact details and a new email address you can get another set of free adverts. That means unlimited free Pay-Per-Click adverts to build your business. Search the Internet for sites that give multiple free email accounts.

If time is not an issue and you have plenty of it, you can submit one advert to all the sites, then go back a few weeks later with new contact details and submit a new advert to all the sites again. You can then repeat the best performing advert over and over again.

If you are new to the business, don?t have much money to spend but are willing to put the time in to get your MLM business off the ground and build a big team, then getting the free Pay-Per-Click adverts may be for you. It is especially useful if you don?t feel confident about writing articles, which is another popular method of getting free traffic.

Unfortunately I don?t have space here to list all the Search Engines where you can get the free Pay-Per-Click adverts. However, I can guide you to where you can get it for FREE along with more detailed instructions on how to submit the adverts. See the resource box below.

I wish you all success in building huge MLM businesses.

How to Evaluate an MLM Business Opportunity

Don?t let yourself get instantly swayed by the promise of profit of an MLM business opportunity. Although MLM can indeed make you rich, it?s not a guarantee for all opportunities and for everyone.

How to Evaluate an MLM Business OpportunityUse the following tips to determine if the MLM business opportunity you?ve encountered is the ideal one for you.What Will You Sell?An MLM company will generally have its members, distributors, managers, or whatever it is they call people who join their group, sell products or services. Many MLM companies sell only products in a given industry. Other MLM companies, however, may offer their members a chance to sell a wide array of products and services and ranging from various industries.The ideal MLM business opportunity is one that will ask you to sell something you?re interested in or, even better, something you?re passionate about. You don?t need to have prior and extensive knowledge about it. Having interest in or passion for it is more than enough to start with. If you?re a health-conscious individual, for instance, joining an MLM company that sells healthcare products or organic food products might be something that would greatly appeal to you.Secondly, the products or services must be of quality. They must be something that you sincerely believe in and one you wouldn?t hesitate to market or sell to your friends and people who trust your opinion. When you?re selling something, you?re guaranteeing the product?s quality. Many people who are close to you will also purchase what you?re selling because they believe in what you?re saying. Just imagine what kind of trouble you?d end up in if you were to deliberately sell people products whose quality are less than adequate.Thirdly, the products or services must be something you?ve tried for yourself. It?s not a necessity, true, but it would be a huge advantage to your MLM career if it?s so. People, even those you don?t personally know, generally feel more inclined to purchase something if they can see with their own two eyes the possible results of their purchase. If you are promoting a food supplement to help lose weight, your marketing pitch would be more effective if you?ve tried the product yourself and show your prospects its favorable results on your figure.Do You Have a Network to Start With?It would be hard to succeed in MLM without a network of contacts to start with. A part of your network must at least represent your target market.The products and services sold by MLM companies are not for everyone. You may have heard a lot of hype saying otherwise but they?re just that: hype. A MLM company selling beauty care products would be hardly attractive to males with outdoor preferences, don?t you think? Thus, if you want the best MLM business opportunity for you then choose something that you?ll have immediate contacts for.?What is the Compensation Method?Compensation plans or methods vary from one MLM company to another. Make sure you know and understand first what kind of compensation system is being used before joining an MLM company. Some MLM companies give greater rewards for those with better recruitment skills while other MLM companies give equal rewards for those who sell well and recruit a lot.Consider these factors carefully and you?ll know the right MLM business opportunity for you.

How an MLM Benefits You

Have you ever thought about how products reach you, the consumer? Most of us do not
think about it but rather, we just take it all for granted. We get in our car, we go to our
favorite store, we find what we want, we pay for it and then we go home. Never do we
think about how it got into our hot little hands. Well…..here’s how:

Someone invents the product
Someone produces and packages the product
The product is given to a wholesaler to market
The wholesaler hires shippers to distribute the product to retailers
Retailers hire advertisers to promote the product
Retailers take their cut and then sell the product to you, the consumer

That’s a lot of people handling this product before you get it isn’t it? What we don’t
think about is that ALL those people have to get paid for doing what they do. So now,
our product which started out costing $5.00 to produce, now costs us, the consumer,
about $35.00!

Which leads us to our next question and the purpose of this article. Is there a way to
circumvent this process and get products cheaper? I can happily tell you YES!

MLM’s (Multi-Level Marketing) is one of the most profitable and effective ways to
distribute products and services. Why?…..you might ask. Read on:

By marketing products and services through independent affiliates you eliminate the need
for wholesalers, shippers to wholesalers, retail advertisers and retailers. You can
effectively eliminate about 33% of all marketing costs! Imagine putting all those savings
into your pocket EVERYTIME you buy a product or service.

It is obvious that manufacturers love MLM’s as evidenced by the huge number of them
marketing products through this system. Companies like Coca Cola, Magnavox,
Arrow…etc… are just a few. You can now find thousands of companies marketing
through MLM’s.

Bottom line is that manufacturers and consumers love it because both save money. The
choice is yours, you can either be part of the distribution system or you can be the end
user. Why buy products that you use everyday from someone else when you can buy the
same thing from yourself for far cheaper?

What’s Wrong With MLM?

What is wrong with MLM? There are so much negativity and it is very obvious the industry has been hurt by many companies that practise front-loading schemes, or money games by getting members to buy 10 to 30 profit centres, or disguise themselves as a network marketing company when they are offering a pyramid schemes or those with leader’s compensation plan where less than 3% make money and over 97% ask “Where’s the money?”

So the truth is there is nothing wrong with MLM, it is the abuse, misconception and misrepresentation of it.

If you are a newbie or a seasoned network marketer or MLMer, you will definitely agree with what I am sharing with you here, the fundamentals and basics of what makes a good MLM business.
“Integrity is the essence of everything” - Buckminster Fuller.
You got to ask yourself is there integrity in the management,
the products or services, the compensation plan and the support system, if your answer is a resounding YES! for all of them, you have a good MLM opportunity in your hands.

Network marketing is the same as MLM, so I will freely use these
terms and for the record MLM is th old name and network marketing is the new name! MLM is a wonderful business based on universal laws and have stood the test of time that it works, You just got to do your due diligence and join the right company that has integriy in these areas which are worth repeating here:

Management - people with integrity who practise what they preach
and deliver what they promise.

Products and Services - give great value and quality and truly
benefit the people and have stood the test of time.

Compensation Plan - a simple, duplicatable and profitable compensation plan where 97% of the members who are part-timers and
smart consumers can easily earn a decent income with decent commitment of time, money and effort.

Support System - a simple and duplicatable support system online and
offline where members can use it to grow their business.

MLM like any other businesses takes commitment of time, money and effort and for those who work the business, the business will work for them, it is as simple as that. I speak from 13 years of MLM experience and is so passionate about it that I’ve written 8 books on it!

What’s wrong with sharing a great product that will make a positive differece to millions of lives worldwide? What’s wrong with making decent money from caring and sharing? What’s wrong with working smart and leveraging on an organisation with thousands of people? What’s wrong with people helping people to build a simple, duplicatable and profitable home-based business?

Here’s a simple example, a great product that will benefit your family greatly and you simply consume it and share it with your loved ones, relatives and friends. Your monthly operation cost is only US$30 a month, that is not going to stressed you out, isn’t it? What business out there can let you operate for only US$30 a month?
You go on an auto-ship plan and just consume your US$30 a month of this health supplement and start sharing this simple opportunity where in two to three years you build a group with 1,000 members, each consuming US$30 a month and that way you will create a US$30,000 sales volume. The company will happily reward you with a 5% commission for your US$30,000 group sales volume and you will receive US$1,500 a month for your efforts in building the business, what’s wrong with that? Did you hurt anybody along the way?
In fact you help thousands of people to improve their health and help them earn a few hundred dollars a month to supplement their income!

I called MLM a simple, duplicatable, profitable home-bases business
without the headaches and heartaches of a conventional business.
I started MLM in Singapore since 1993 and three of my books are available at major book stores such as Times, MPH and Kinokuniya,
I wll make them available in ebook format for those who want to order online. They are Break Free! - there is a better way to earn
a living, Why Network Marketing? and How To Be Successful In Network Marketing.

Understanding the four color personalities will help the Network Marketing MLM distributor to speak to prospects in a way that benefits them. Talking to your prospect in a language that relates to their needs is essential. If you can?t relate to them, they will shut you out immediately.

Each color personality has its? advantages and disadvantages in the network marketing business arena. Once network marketers learn how to talk to the different personalities, the task of marketing their product is less daunting.

The four color personalities discussed in Network Marketing MLM businesses are divided into four quadrants: Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. Most of us overlap and become Blue/Green for example.

Blues are Open and Direct. When you talk to a blue about a Network Marketing MLM, they will say whatever they are thinking and you?ll learn a lot about them. Blues don?t actually read their policies and procedures or study the compensation plan. They skim them and assume they will be fine as they are in a hurry to get started building their business.

Greens are Closed and Indirect. Good luck getting much information out of them, but give them some facts and figures about your MLM opportunity and they will happily analyze them for hours, days, weeks and sometimes even years. Greens want all the facts and figures.

Yellows are Open and Indirect. They will talk to you, but not directly. They will not want to hurt your feelings or anyone else?s. Yellows are very sensitive and will only be interested using the network marketing business to benefit others.

Reds are Closed and Direct. The red is so direct that they can be viewed as aggressive and rude at times. They aren?t interested in small talk. The reds just want to know if you are interested in their business. If not, then they are on to the next person. Many reds leave a trail of dead blues, yellows and greens in their quest for network marketing MLM success.

Every personality is exciting and wonderful. Having a wide variety of personalities in your organization will do nothing but enhance your business.

Blues will help everyone have fun and brighten their day.

Greens will happily analyze details for your team helping everyone else keep abreast of the finest details.

Yellows will happily help anyone and everyone and feel they are truly blessed to be building a business and helping people as well.

Reds will never quit. They will persistently push through all barriers to meet success head on and bask in its glory.

Simple MLM v Complicated MLM

I LOVE simple. When it’s simple, I know there’s a good chance I can do it. Heck, there’s a good chance a lot of people can do it. That’s perfect.

I love a simple product … ideally, it would be just about self-explanatory. One look and BINGO!! They get it. Everything is clear. No explanation necessary.

It’s especially wonderful and simple when it’s a really, really hot repeat-order product in a HUGE, desperate market … and you can afford to give out free samples! Man-oh-man! That’s like taking candy from a baby, when you have a set-up like that.

And then there’s the business. I want that simple, too.

I’d like to be able to say to someone, “Hey, look! You can give out free samples just like I do. People LOVE this thing! Just give out one or two samples a day. And all you need is ONE person a MONTH to decide they’d like to do the same thing … and you can be earning $10,000 a month in less than a year.”

Whooeee! That is really simple. That is exactly the type of MLM set-up I’d like to be able to promote, because it would be easy to do a retail business and it would be easy to find that one new distributor a month.

What I hate is when it’s all complicated, when you have a widget that takes several pages - or a bunch of my time - to explain it. It’s almost like you have to justify your widget’s existence. It’s no fun when your prospect looks at it with a totally blank expression on her face.

I want instant recognition from everyone!

I don’t want a product that only a “widget techie” can appreciate and love. I want them to say, “Holy mackeral! This is incredible. It’s just what I’ve always wanted!”

Not … “Oh, sorry. I’m late. Gotta go get my root canal now.”

I hate it when you tell ‘em the price and they let out a deep, deep breath. That deal is not simple MLM. It’s going to be very complicated and take a lot of time. And I know that if they think it costs too much, this is one network marketing business they absolutely will never do.

MLM is so much easier when you can give out a free sample. If you can’t give out a free sample, it’s SO much harder.

I hate it when someone looks at the compensation plan and thinks, “Heck! I’d have to sponsor 10 people a month to make any money with this.” Only the pros can sponsor 10 people a month … and plenty of them can’t do it, either!

I want a simple MLM where if you sponsor just ONE person a month - and train that person to do the same - you can be making over $10,000 a month in less than a year. Anything else is too complicated.

I’ve been doing this stuff a long time, and I know me.

I need a simple product and a simple system and a simple offer, something that anyone with limited abilities can look at and say,

“Hey! THAT looks like something I could do!”

Maybe your prospects are different. I hope so. But if they aren’t, you’d better not get complicated. People get so easily distracted these days. It’s best to look around and be sure you have a really simple network marketing product, system, and offer.

That’s your best bet to build a big business.
