Multi-level
marketing is a fantastic business. If you are the type of person
who
enjoys a lot of people contact and have a great product you believe in
multi-level
marketing can work out great for you. There are people making
$1,000's
of dollars per month in commissions alone _ but they worked hard
for
it. I prefer mail order though because it's slow-paced and more
"people-oriented."
Multi-level
marketing is "people-oriented" too, because a product is being
sold
to people. However, multi-level marketing is also a "money-making"
industry
that places great emphasis on building downlines and selling lots
of
product to meet the monthly criteria established by the main multi-level
company.
Although
the articles in multi-level publications are not related to mail
order,
they teach you about positive thinking that is needed in any type
of
business. You can pick up some good business tips whether you are in mail
order,
MLM or selling homemade pies at a garage sale. Business is business.
Marketing
is marketing. Selling is selling!
When people are asked: "What would you do if
you won $100?" they would say
that
they'd take their spouse or friend to dinner and a movie. When asked,
"What
would you do if you won $10,000?" most say they would buy a car, pay
off
old bills or take a trip. But when these people were asked, "What would
you
do if you won $1 million ?" they all said they would INVEST it.
The
article went on to say, that if these people would only INVEST when it
came
to big money _ how could they ever hope to achieve it? I mean, how can
you
ever accumulate $1 if you don't start saving the change? How can you save
$120
per year if you don't start putting in $10 bills now?
Some
of the best multi-level type publications on the market today are
"Opportunity
Connection," "FreEnterprise," and "Big Al's Recruiting
Newsletter."
In every issue you will find information that will help motivate
you
to sell your product and fantastic marketing tips that the professionals
use.
Multi-level marketing is truly a professional business. This is the
place
you will find new and exciting products that are not available locally.
In
fact _ multi-level marketing firms produce some of the best products in
the
world.
Please
don't confuse multi-level marketing with birthday clubs, chain-type
schemes
and those circulars that ask you to place your name and address in
Position
1 and move all the other ones down before making copies. These
pieces
of "trash" will never make you a dime and if I could _ I would outlaw
their
existence. They steal lots of money from many innocent people on a
daily
basis.
On
the other hand _ multi-level marketing is when you have a REAL product to
sell.
You build downlines (people who sell the same product under you) and
you
make commissions every time these people sell. But watch out for those
matrix
definitions too. Many people don't really understand them fully and
just
look at the bottom line of how much money they'll make. Also, many
newcomers
think that if they get a friend to sell products for them that
they
will earn commissions off every sale the friend makes. Sometimes this
is
true and other times it isn't. More often than not _ you have to build a
downline
of 10 or 15 people before you start earning commissions, so make
sure
you know exactly how a particular multi-level marketing company works
before
you sink a lot of money and time into it and think the entire industry
is
a big waste.
Look
over your business goals. Decide what you really like to do. Basing your
decision
on how much money you make won't cut it. You wouldn't decide to have
children
just because of the tax deduction you would receive would you? Well
you
should never start a business for the sole purpose of making money.
Instead
_ find something you enjoy doing that will make you money. When you
love
what you are doing, the money will flow naturally and you'll see a
business
emerge within a few years that you never dreamed could be possible.
Have
fun!
