Have you consider creating MLM Training eBook?

If you have not considered creating your own MLM Training eBook, here are some reasons why creating a MLM Trainingebook is great idea.

You have knowledge that your Downline Customers and Associates can use to increase sales, build prospect lists, solve common problems problem or fulfill and fulfill their desire for success and happiness.

Why you Don't Do it

Cost

The actual cost of writing a MLM Training eBook is next to nothing in money, but it could take a great deal of time.

This is fine if you are starting out, and are not making much money, but when you are making a lot of money, you might consider that you can make more money by your own MLM Promotion efforts.

This is a mistake because the MLM Training eBook is a major marketing and promotion effort that can save you time, build your prospect list, and position you as an expert in your MLM Niche.

Leverage Your Time and Effort

Once your MLM Training eBook is available, you can give it away to all your prospects, perhaps converting more prospects to associates when they have a clear blueprint of what is required.

In addition, if your MLM Training eBook consists of step-by-step directions, you could find that you are spending less time on training new associates…a substantial benefit.

You could also find that you could make additional money and build a prospect list by selling the MLM Training eBook.

eBay™ is an example where you can set up an automatic distribution of your MLM Training eBook, so that the MLM Training eBook can be delivered automatically.

Residual Income

Like the promise of MLM Business Development, you might be able to derive a residual income from the direct sales of your eBook for as long as you make it available.

This can be a source of "automatic prospecting," and you can continue to gather sales leads.

Nested Promotions

You also will can promote other income producing sales referrals and affiliate programs in your MLM Training eBook. These are "frosting on the cake" and you should not focus your MLM Training eBook on them. But remember, your success was built with tools, and the developers of those tools may pay a "referral fee" for your sending business their way.

There are a lot of possibilities for what you can do with a MLM Training eBook.

Affiliate Programs

If you find that your MLM Training eBooks is in high demand, you can develop an affiliate program.

Building an affiliate program is not so diffucult as is sounds because you can use the pre-built facilities of a program like Clickbank™ to manage the mechanics for you.

And, the fee to get started as a Clickbank Merchant is only $50 USD! What a deal.

An affiliate program such as Clickbank™ allows you to to recruit a free sales forces to promote and sell your eBook, and you only pay when they make a sale.

Since any money that you make from an additional channel such as Clickbank™ is "found money," be sure to make the commission at least 50% of the affiliate program eBook's sale price. This will motivate plenty of folks, even folks outside the MLM Arena to make sales for you.

This Clickbank™ strategy is also a way to expand your prosptect list.

Repeated Success

Once you have completed your first MLM Training eBook, then look for the next most serious problem that your prospects, customers and associates face, and create another MLM Training eBook.

You can build on the knowledge and skill that you develop from producing the first MLM Training eBook. Once you have your first MLM Training product in place, then you can duplicate the system to solve another MLM Promotion problem.

You can repeat this prospect and lead building system as often as you want.

And, because the system saves you a lot of the face-to-face training time that is required in building your Downline, you should have the time available to write several of these MLM Training eBooks.

The need for your expertise is great. Now is the time to share what you know in a MLM Training eBook.

Referral-Based Prospecting: Growth over Time

MLM specialists need an endless source of referrals to gather prospects and convert them into customers and associates. But, prospecting is "tough stuff."

So, MLM specialists need to employ every advantage to keep ahead of the marketing game.

There are the "old hat" ways of prospecting, i.e., personal referrals and endless telephone calling, but is there a better way?

A company, LinkReferral™, uses an old concept in an innovative way to bring prospects to its members. Because there is everything to gain, nothing to lose (and almost no additional effort is needed) to attract prospects; it is easy for your prospecting efforts to pay off in increased sign-ups.

The company offers this prospecting system online, and aside from placing a "snippet" of HTML code on your Website or Blog, there is not much that you have to do.

LinkReferral™ gets prospects to join the system, and you enjoy the benefits of recruiting, month after month.

This MLM process works because it's FREE.

Along with the benefits of free prospecting, members can upgrade the system and earn commissions for referrals.

Multi-Level Components

Here is how the system works to benefit your prospecting efforts.

Step #1:

Prospects who click on the banner or link that you place on your Website (or any site you referred up to five levels below yours) pull up the page. Once there, the prospect sees your link featured as one of the five favored sites.

Step #2:

The process continues, and prospects at the2nd, 3rd and 4th levels - enjoy an increase in the number of prospects that they recruit. too.

This motivates your prospects to place the referral link on their sites, and they receive prospects for themselves from the ad on their site… as well all sites below them.

Better yet, the link shows the MLM nature of the link, and serves as a graphic reminder that gathering prospects is the "name of the game."

Prospects who are just starting out will put the code on their site and their first level below them will start to join. Once this happens, the top link would be a 6th level which will be bumped off. This insures that everyone has a maximum of five levels which will preserve traffic for everyone.

Here is an example of that link…

Here is how the math of this prospecting process plays out.

Say over a month's time just ten people click through and join prospecting system from your site. Then, if these prospects have ten people in turn join the next month, and so on...

In five months, This adds up to:

lst level (10) +
2nd level (10x10) +
3rd level (10x10x10) +
4th level (10x10x10x10)+
5th level (10x10x10x10x10)
= 111,111 prospect sites

Of course, the higher the quality of the content that your prospects deliver for their prospects, the faster that this system will build.

Passive Prospecting

The more strategies that you use to get this prospecting system off the ground, the faster your MLM network will build.

Here are some other methods that you can use to "get the snowball rolling."

1. Promotion on your Website - Besides just placing the link on your site, a little promotion and explanation of what is may encourage more people to click through to see what it's all about.

2. Promotion on Other Sites (blogs, other traffic sites, etc...) - List your linkreferral link,

Place the link on other free advertising type sites where a large percentage of the visitors are looking for new avenues such as for free recruiting and advertising. This will allow you to create a large first level prospect base, and expose these prospects and all their referrals to your website once they hit the homepage.

3. E-Mail - You can use a form letter to send ten people an endorsement of the site. It provides them a link with your ID number attached so their membership would be under you should they choose to join. A personal e-mail from you to your associates describing how the program works and your belief in it, will see even better results. Use good judgment.

4. E-Mail Signature - A passive way to prospect is to take advantage of your E-mail is to set an E-mail signature, where you set an appropriate one line message and link for at the bottom of each message. Check with your E-mail program documentation on how to set an email signature.

Any method you use to get your first 10 people to join is 90% of the battle. The faster this happens the faster they get people on board for themselves and thus helping you prospect for customers and associates.

Don't stick to only one method, set up multiple methods, especially passive ones such as to make the prospecting job easier for you.

Training your MLM Downline: Online Video Does Training Right

Your MLM business needs to convert prospects into customers, and more importantly, into associates.

But, once you have performed the "conversion miracle"; i.e., the equivalent of changing lead into gold, your work has just begun.

Ask any teacher why they keep all students on the same page in the textbook, even at the expense of slowing the learning of some students down, and they will tell you that the logistics of handling and tracking multiple lessons at one time is overwhelming.

And, overwhelmed is exactly how you begin to feel when you have new Downline Associates, established Downline Associates and Downline Associates who are ready to become sponsors for their own businesses.

The logistics of training everyone at the right level is mind-boggling.

Video to the Rescue

But, if you could record your training instructions once and play them back as many times as needed, you could delegate many training functions to your "automatic assistant," the Online Internet Teacher.

Basic video is not that difficult to produce, in fact, video creation does have a learning curve. But, there are some shortcuts.

And, for a short time, you can pick up a free copy of a video creation program, Camtasia Studio™.

Bringing MLM Downline Partners On Board

How to get MLM Downline Partners to maximize their sales?

It's no secret that MLM Downline Partners either make or break your MLM success. Your downline partners must be productive and generate high volumes of sales in all their marketing efforts for your MLM business to flourish.

The way to motivate your MLM Downline Partners is to make it easy for them to e successful. You have to train them, and you have to provide the tools that they need.

It is short sighted to trust a system where the MLM Downline Partners have to purchase expensive booklets, CDs, catalogs, and referral packages. And, there is little business to be earned from those expensive hotel "pep-talk extravaganzas."

How you can help your MLM Downline Partners make the most of their time to explode your MLM income is to make it easy for them to explode their income.

The Traditional Approach Doesn't Work

Traditional MLM Downline Procedures involve sending Downline Partners to their parents, relatives and friends. These are "soft sell, low-hanging fruit, easy pickings" sales that take very little sales and marketing skill.

But, what happens when the circle of family and friends is tapped out, put out, and just plain "out" because they have had enough of these MLM sales pitches?

Your income dries up, that's what!

But if you train your MLM Downline Partners in real prospecting, real lead generation, this downward income spiral needn't be the case.

There is a way that everyone can benefit. A way that everyone can get the benefits of increased sales and increased income.

Success Principles

Contrary to what the "rah rah" crowd affirms at those expensive hotel venues, MLM success is not about "positive thinking and indoctrinating self-talk." MLM success is about applying skills to tested business principles.

Lets look at these principles…

What actually needs to happen is that your MLM Downline Partners acquire leads for qualified customers. And, these leads have to be gathered quickly. There are two things that are required of these leads…

• The prospects have to have money to spend on your over-priced products
• The prospects must be easy to find and keep in touch with

It does no good marketing to people who don't have money to purchase. And, it does no good if keeping in contact with your prospects is either too difficult or too time consuming. You must be able to gather lots of MLM Downline Partners, and you must be able to communicate with them in an automatic way.

Online Systems Make Prospecting and Communicating Possible

Online MLM Prospecting streamlines the lead gathering process if you have a system for promoting your business opportunity. Online MLM Promotion also allows you to connect with customers.

This is a two-pronged approach. You build your downline and your customer base at the same time.

Online MLM Prospecting also allows you to deliver new sales campaigns to your customers and to deliver training and skill development to your MLM Downline Partners.

This is the best of both worlds. But, how do we pull this off?

Commission Sales

The first thing that online MLM does is provide sales materials in the form of recommendations.

This is more "pre-selling" than selling, and this is a strategy of providing useful information to customers and MLM Downline Partners. Armed with quality reviews and recommendations, your customers and MLM Downline Partners are bound to respond with purchases.

Delivering MLM Skills Training

MLM Downline building also benefits when you can automate training.

And, there is no need to segment your prospect list between customers and MLM Downline Partners because you would like as many customers as possible to become MLM associates.

And, since delivering training for 10 or 100 or 1,000 people is no more work online than delivering the training for one person; you can work once and distribute to many with no additional work.

This automation is possible with the help of the miracle of online autoresponders.

You see, when you're running an online business you increase your growth by automation. And, when you develop a system that you have tested, you can let that system work in the background to do the tedious, repetitive work. This is work that would really bog down your business if you had to do it by yourself, but work that can easily be done over and over by online software and services.

The best of the autoresponder services is Aweber. And Aweber even has a training program that shows you how to use their service.

Pay attention. What Aweber is doing is exactly what you should be doing with your downline.

Aweber, the superior autoresponder service

Automation of the prospecting process overcomes the limit of the finite amount of personal time that restricts you try doing it all of the prospecting work on your own…with a telephone and through one-on-one meetings.

Sure, the one-on-one approach will pay off, eventually. But, what if you launch an automated system, and continue with your one-on-one approach until you discover that you can't really afford to spend time that way because the "hands-on" method is costing you money. Money that you could be making by increasing your automated prospecting methods.

Online Prospecting Methods

There's pay-per-click advertising, article marketing, traffic exchangers, and a variety of ways you can draw traffic to your online MLM promotions. But, nothing beats viral marketing, the online equivalent of Word of Mouth marketing. Your prospecting takes the form of a personal recommendation if you can get people to pass your promotional information on to others.

Its human nature to prefer to buy through personal recommendation, but the Internet is so impersonal.

On the Internet, you have to supply a level of motivation to entice people to re-distribute your offers and promotions.

Fortunately, this is not as difficult as it seems, and there are lots of MLM success stories about people who have pulled off the strategy of taking their prospecting efforts viral.

Taking your Promotion Viral

Since one aim of your MLM Prospecting is to build a list of prospects, you could use a system that automates this strategy.

Ons such system is MyViralSpiral™.

MyViralSpiral™ is a Web-based server system that provides a complete solution for building a prospect list and a vibrant and productive downline.

One feature of MyViralSpiral™ is that it delivers a "win" for both you and your MLM Downline Partners.

Here is how you can use MyViralSpiral™.

Build your Prospect List

As a prospect list builder, MyViralSpiral™ can't be beat.

With this system, you send prospects to a "squeeze page" where they sign up for your list. Then, you decide which offer to send the prospect to. With MyViralSpiral™, you can direct prospect to wherever you like. And, that power makes all the difference when it comes to getting your MLM Downline Partners others to promote for you because you can make them partners for building their downline.

This is only one of many benefits of the MyViralSpiral™ system that make it well worth a good look if you want to start building a list of motivated MLM Downline Partners, and involving these partners in an relationship with their Downline.

MLM are Scams: Make Money Anyway

MLM Business Opportunities: Separating the "Sheep" from the "Goats"

Watch out for are so called "MLM Business Opportunity"

Although there are many quality MLM companies, and there are many great sponsors who will help you gain a foothold in the business; scams abound.

One way to tell if the offer is a scan is to examine the product that the company is selling.

If all the company is selling is a "business" be careful!

The first clue on your "scam radar" should be a lack of product information. If the promotion fails to mention what product you are actually investing in, this is probably a variation on a "pyramid scheme."

With a pyramid scheme, only the people at the top "make a killing," and the people who got in first make a bit of money. The people who join later fund the profits for the "Upline."

Another clue is the length of time that the company has been in operation." How could all those associates be making such high yearly incomes if the company has been in business for only a week?

How may MLM companies that once promised huge, lifetime incomes have disappeared from the radar screen?

If these companies were such big money makers with guaranteed lifetime profit potential, what went wrong?

Stability Indicators/ Questions to Answer

Here are some questions that you should ask before hitching your profit wagon to a MLM Star."

MLMs are Supposed to be Viral: Make it So...

There are many ways that MLM Marketers increase the amount of traffic to their Website. The more visitors that see the offer, the more chances to build the downline.

One of the most effective methods of building a downline is known as "viral marketing."

Too use viral marketing to it's fullest potential, you'll want to employ many different techniques into the marketing plan of your site.

And, be sure that you have a marketing plan mapped out.

Special Techniques

Some MLM Marketers include great looking graphics, pre-written E-mail sales letters, written articles and blog posts, etc.

All of these will increase the visitor traffic to your site. You can increase visitor traffic by offering incentives for your existing downline members so they will do the some of the prospecting work for you.

One of the best (and under-used) viral techniques is accomplished by giving your visitors a simple way to tell their friends about your MLM business.

Endorsements by trusted friends is the best form of advertising bar-none. This is the online equivalent of "word-of-mouth" advertising. And when the endorsement comes straight from the friend, that endorsement is very powerful.

And what's even better is that you don't have to spend important MLM Investment dollars for implementing this advertising.

Many tell-a-friend schemes have came on to the MLM Market, and a few have been effective to a limited degree. Of course, any prospect could be that "go-getter" that add dynamic energy to your downline, so any recruiting is good recruiting.

But most of these tell-a-friend schemes lacked one or more of the features necessary to be a true viral resource and generate a quantum increase in the number of prospects that see your MLM Marketing offer.

But, that has changed, because the same guy who created the most incredible Viral Marketing Automation Script that revolutionized the Internet marketing field has created a Viral Tell-a-Friend script.

Just about anyone who has a Control Panel access to a Website can use this new tool.

This prospecting tool expands the reach of your business, and makes viral marketing easier than ever before.

This new tool that was responsible for over $209,349 in extra sales just from two beta testers using it in it's raw form.

Tell me More!

The marketer who developed this script is Mike Filsaime, and the new tool is Viral Friend Generator.

Mike launched the completed version and I am thoroughly impressed.

This Viral Friend Generator is the next evolution in tell-a-friend technology.

In less than five minutes (the time it takes you to fill in the form and upload to your server)... you can literally multiply the number of prospects and subscribers your Web site receives by 300% or higher!

This is possible if one person tells just three friends, and just one of the friends tells just three friends.

If this sounds like a "Pyramid Scheme, " it isn't. We're talking about people's capacity to have friends. And, many people can have the same friends. Besides, the more that several friends send the same recommendation, the more powerful the belief that the offer is "something for me."

Does it Work?

The Viral Friend Generator is compatible with all of the major autoresponder services, and it has lots of great features that deliver the results that personal prospecting could never achieve. These are Tell-a-Friend features that every other product just wishes that they had.

Since prospecting is the most important and crucial aspect of your MLM Marketing effort, you need the best tool available.

Viral Friend Generator

will put your marketing efforts into high gear because it is extremely powerful and easy to use.

Marketing expert, Mike Filsaime has created a tool that is an answer to an MLM Marketer's prayers.

MLM and Business Sense: Do they Mix?

There is one indicator that exposes a MLM scheme from a real opportunity. What is that?

The litmus test that separates an MLM Opportunity from a MLM Scam is a "Business Plan."

Boring!

How can a solid and stodgy business plan compete with the "glamor and glitz" of a "get-rich-quick, gold mine, hot opportunity?"

Answer: For the greedy, it can't.

But, for the honest, "give more value and effort than the money I earn" entrepreneur, the "proof is in the plan."

And, not just any plan, a tailor-made plan that is set in writing.

"By their fruits will you know them… is a parable. When applied to Multi-Level Marketing, the phrase goes something like this…

"By the written detail of the plan that they sit down and develop with you shall you know their nature, whether it be greed for themselves or opportunity and instruction for you."

The Strength and Depth of their Classroom

Real opportunities take time. Time to learn the ropes. Time to explore the "ins and outs."

If your Upline recruiter is too busy to sit down with you and write a step-by-step plan that…

• Takes you from where you are to where you want to be


• Accounts for your talents and skills


• Focuses upon your experience and your strengths


• Fills in the gaps in your knowledge, skills and abilities with economical outsource, freelance support


• Evaluates your potential and advises on how difficult a task you face if you have no prior experience


• Provides realistic numbers for your Return on Investment (ROI)


• Continues to evaluate your progress based upon your written business plan

How to Know when to "Head for the Hills"

It is easy to know when to "beat a fast retreat" from a scam MLM recruiting or sales ploy. The greed rears its ugly head, and you can see it when…

• Instead of personal tutoring to perfect your skills, you are forced to buy marketing materials, tapes, videos, brochures. Note: A brochure sells to maybe 0.3% of the folks that you give them to.


• Instead of sitting with you, one-to-one, or with one or two other people, you are summoned to attend high-impact "motivational meetings" at upscale hotels


• There are no written goals for your training


• Your sponsor is too busy roping in new recruits to train you


• There are not specific, doable targets written into your business plan


• Your sponsor is unwilling to tell you what percentage of his or her income comes from personal sales, and what percentage comes from other people's work

An Internet MLM Case Study

Here is an example of what your Upline sponsor should be doing for you.

This example is taken from an Internet MLM company, Lead Supreme™

This company developed a brilliant marketing strategy of offering free use of their software for 10 days at $20. This was offered to 1,000 people. Ant, the person that got the most leads using their software wins $10,000!

This is brilliant because they promote their software while making $10,000 for themselves. (They give the other half away as the prize.)

But, they don't just turn folks loose with the software. Instead they offer:

• MP3 Audio Training


• Online Video Training


• Live Teleseminars: Recorded for playback for people who can't call in


• A perfectly configured sub domain with the lead capturing system already in place

This is a sample of taking care of the recruit, and making it easy for them to learn what needs to be done for the business.

Their is online training each day. And, there are step-by-step instructions.

And, pay particular attention to the online audio interview with a "Black Hat Search Engine Optimizer Confession."

It might be worthwhile to see just how much free training you can grab from this offer.

MLM are Scams: Make Money Anyway

Am I the Kind of Person who can Turn MLM into a Put-Bread-on-the-Table Career?

There is a lot of hype about Multi-Level Marketing (MLM). But, most of that is about getting rich quickly. But, as they say, "Easy come, easy go."

What is more important is looking for a career, not eat your cake now, but "butter your bread for years to come."

The question is, "Will you run your MLM endeavor as you would a day at the race track, or like you would a real business?/

Real Investment

If you are going to invest your time, and money, the opportunity had better provide outcomes that exceed what you could make on your current job once you placed some of your earnings into a tax-free annuity.

It makes no sense to invest "sweat equity" and "hard-earned, after-tax dollars" and get back less than you put in.

Overall profit and Return on Investment (ROI) is the correct measure of the business-like focus of getting into an MLM business.

Are you Building a Business?

The MLM folks like to say that you have a business, that there are so many people (head count) in their organization, but, where is their written business plan?

Due diligence...

It is up to you to insist that you have a real, genuine, professional business plan before you start any association with an MLM company. If the organization has no help for you in creating and implementing a basic business plan, watch out!

Find out if the lack of a business plan support system is the fault of your upline folks lack of knowledge, or if the program is really just a "get rich quick" scheme.

If the later, head for the door.

Home Life

You better have a business plan because, keeping your current job, and working at your start-up MLM business will take a bite out of your family or social life.

You have to define just how much time you will devote the your business, and keep to the schedule.

So, the question of, "Is MLM a career?" has to be answered as, it is a career if you make it one by putting in the time and effort.

What Kind of Person are You?

Here are some types of people that can be successful in Multi-Level Marketing...

• Entrepreneurs


• Professionals


• Salespeople


• Marketers


• People People


• Managers


• Teachers


• Political-type Organizers

Whatever your personality, your skills, and your strategy. You can develop a personal system that you have to put into operation consistently to make money.

Entrepreneurs get things done, but they make a lot of mistakes when they operate on "gut feelings." They are easy prey for MLM schemes, and must perform their "due diligence" before entering into any MLM business.

Professionals will study and analyze and plan effectively. However, unless they are people people, they will not do well in any MLM system that requires lots of contact with customers.

Sales people are like hunters, and the "thrill of the chase" excites them. The mistake that sales people make is that in getting the sale, they might fail to build the long-term relationship that is required. All great sales people focus on the relationship first, service or serviceability fit of their product to the customer/ client's needs, and gradually selling more pr, more expensive products and services in the future. This is a career if relationships, rather than quick sales are the goal.

Marketers focus upon matching a product to the most people of a particular category, then writing sales copy that motivates people to buy. Marketers are at a disadvantage in the MLM field because they are hampered by the latitude that they can operate in. Of course, great marketers will figure a way to put together an irresistible offer despite the MLM company's framework.

But, marketers may shy away from MLM companies because they research the market first. The "deal killers" for a marketer are:

• Choosing a product only after determining


• Setting the correct price point. Most MLM products are over priced to carry the overhead of the upline, so market research will show


• Marketers are convinced of their own abilities, and would never put their career in the hands of downlines and associates. Too many slackers, not knowing what they are doing to bring in the return on investment for the training


• Training the downline doesn't pay, after training their is nothing to keep the associate from "jumping ship"i.e., affiliating with another MLM company, or a competitor, and taking their "organization" with them.


• Marketers look for under developed and under exploited products, and they look for buy out or licensing agreements. For example, they may want to change the title of a book. Bundle the products, provide a sales funnel of upsell and back end products, etc.


• Unless they are starting the MLM company, marketers may find that participation in an MLM company hampers and stagnates their career

People people may get excited about the MLM propaganda as they join, but if they truly care about others, they will quickly begging to doubt that selling over priced products to people, and bringing in independent associates who don't stand a chance of ever breaking even, let alone making a profit is just something that "bothers their conscience." Sadness and disillusionment are career limiting situations for the people person.

Managers operate well in an MLM environment because they are able to organize and structure their activities. They are also able to delegate work, although this skill doesn't serve much purpose until they have a downline that has been trained.

Teachers operate well in an MLM environment as long as they can training downline associates. Of course, they have to have a training mentor for themselves (a rare occurrence) or, it takes years for them to acquire the skills. The caring about others that teachers feel serves them well, unless they are working for a pyramid scheme company that just churns out new (soon to be broke) associates to keep the "money-grubbing apparatus" oiled for the higher-up company partners.

Political-type Organizers, hype, pitch people. These are the hotel ballroom megalomaniacs that revel in a crowd. They do well in MLM because they have no conscience and will say anything to anyone, promise a moon shot when the MLM product can barely reach the balcony of the second floor, and twist psychology so that people are lead to believe that their failures are just because they don't have the right success attitude.

Folks who do poorly in the MLM arena, and who fail to build a career include:

• Con Artists


• Get Rich by Tomorrow


• Capital-Challenged


• Homeless Street People

Investment Costs

You have to have money to make money, and you have to deliver more value to the person than you take front them in money.

Tricking people means that you have converted a potential lifetime customer into a one-time customer that "bad mouth's you and your MLM company's product to everyone. Unfortunately, MLM folks encounter turned off customers at every turn that were "worked over" by con artists. These folks ruin the career potential for everyone.

The "get rich by tomorrow"crowd are quickly disillusioned, and quickly jump to the next offer, never building their downline. They don't stay with a company long enough to build a career.

The Capital-challenged people don't have the money to make the initial investment, or the luxury to put in the long "apprentice program" that is require to learn the ropes. The capital-challenges people must either have a backer that can help them buy in to the high entry costs, the purchase of products at above retail instead of wholesale, and the mandatory purchase of some companies that is required in order to receive a commission. Entry into an MLM is not a venture for the "weak of wallet."

Homeless street people cannot afford the high entry price of most MLM systems, and they cannot point to their success to show prospects that the system is lucrative.

So how does a MLM Career Stack Up

College students change their major an average of 3.x times before graduating. After that, they change jobs and careers plenty of times, too.

Multi-Level Marketing is not for everyone. It probably isn't for 18 to 22 year olds since they would seem to lack credibility in some product areas. Although a few young people have made a lot of money on Internet multi-level marketing.

How can you Benefit from a Career in MLM?

If the folks who sponsored you will actually train you, you can benefit from the MLM experience because you will learn vital skills that are needed for running and managing any business. These include planning and management skills, sales skills and communication skills. These skills make you valuable to any organization.

With the right training and a legitimate company, you can earn a substantial income, invest in your retirement with Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) (don't buy the foolishness that your independent associate status is equity, it isn't).

Career Path for You, or Not?

The hype from the Multi-Level Marketing marking folks is that you can work as little or as much as you choose.

This is true. However, the reality is that if you want to earn a lot, you will have to work a lot, particularly at first, when you are learning and making lots of mistakes.

Each mistake is a learning opportunity, but it is also lost revenue or a lost revenue stream.

You will find that to make MLM a career, you will have to put in as many or more hours as you would work as a salaried worker in a major corporation, i.e., 40 to 60 hours per week. And, you will work nights, weekends and holidays.

If this is for you, you might be successful.

If you find a professional and career-oriented MLM opportunity, go for it. Otherwise, head the other way.

Multi-Level Marketing Confusion: Professional Information to Help you

MLM hype leads to astounding confusion. How can you sort through the truth from the unknown?

One way is to get professional information. But, usually the kind of professional information that you need costs a bundle.

Free Information - October 9^th through October 11^th

You can sign up for ecomXpo, for free! Then, you can listen to as many programs as you have time for.

These are high quality programs, delivered by professional, in the trenches, "been there-succeeded at that" kind of experience.

Cost = free!

ecomXpo™ is a brilliant idea.

Why not hold a trade show that everyone can attend using their computer?

This saves travel costs: hotel, meals, cabs…for everyone.

This also lets exhibitors keep their staff in the office to attend to clients and customers, and bring them in to do shifts… without leaving the building.

And, while the focus in online tools and resources, the rabid "hypster" Internet marketers don't seem to participate.

I don't know why that is, but it is a good thing. Maybe the environment of "free" information seekers isn't to their liking? Or, maybe the high level of professional quality exhibitors and speakers see through their hype.

At any rate, you can look forward to a great show.

MLM How-to: An Internet MLM Company that Shows you How to Make Profits

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) can make money, but making this money takes knowledge and work."Get rich quick" it is not.

But how are you to learn all the tricks without spending a fortune?

There are plenty of "gurus and pundits" willing to sell you over priced "secret reports," information products that promise to reveal secret techniques that made them millions of dollars.

What's Wrong with this Picture?

The problem is that the secret strategies require:

• Specialized knowledge that you don't have
• Large mailing lists that you don't have
• Specialized and expensive software that you can't afford
• Lots of Joint Venture (JV) partners that you don't have that will take at least 50% commission on your sales
• Months of work before you can launch the product
• Plenty of Web traffic that, you guessed it…

This business is competitive and cut throat. As soon as you figure out how to make money, other folks begin copying your techniques and stealing your customers.

And the top tier of marketers form a clicque where they speak at teach other's $5,000 seminars.

Breaking in is difficult for long on desire and need, short of cash beginner like you.

Entry Level Strategies

So, where are you to learn the ropes of Online MLM with a reputable company, a company that will train you?

The requirements for such a company are that they have to:

• Really be making money online
• Let you in to their company, probably as an affiliate
• Provide all the tools that you need to promote their products (such as banners, links, Tell-a-Friend E-mail, sales copy
• Products that are expensive
• Products that are new, not outdated
• Products that are selling
• Train you

Training Quality is the Key

Many marketers run their product to the ground, drain all they can from the marketplace, then make a few more dollars by selling their "secrets" to the "after market," i.e., those desparate souls that want to build a business for themselves.

A Real Training Company

Here is a company that will really train you.

And, you can get started today.

But, how do you know that you have a winner with this company?

One way to tell is that they have lots of products that you can promote. Look at this list…

DotCom Secrets Free DVD Offer

DotCom Secrets Information Product

Affiliate Landmine Information Product

Public Domain Information Product

Digital Repo Man

The MLM Part of this Company

DotCom Secrets Free Video

The free video includes these marketing topics:

• Laying The Foundation
• Product Creation
• Copywriting
• Traffic
• Affiliate Inferno
• Filling Your Funnel

These free videos allow you to study this company before you get involved with them. These help you decide that their training offers can benefit you.

Another clue that this company is on the level, they focus on developing a business plan.

MLM How-to: Sifting the Gems from the Scam and Scum

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and its promise of "get rich quick" seems to bring out the worst in people.

Over priced products, promises of quality that doesn't reveal itself in the testing lab, and the "make a killing and bail to a new company" pattern of these companies' organizers keeps public skepticism on "red alert."

But, there are a lot of people who make honest livings with reputable companies in the MultiLevel Marketing field.

Here are the ways to tell these good companies from the bad. i.e., most of the companies.

MLMs, a Legal Pyramid Scheme?

Some critics would have us do away with all MLMs.

But, this is silly.

And, we can't put all MLM company organizers in jail just because they get rich off the gullibility of highly motivated, but naive folks that want to invest in their own future.

In deciding what MLM to invest your time and money and more time and more money in, here are some guidelines.

• Study the company before you get involved with them, and don't trust the Better Business Bureau (BBB)


The BBB only tells you if there have been complaints against a company
• With MLM scams, most folks that have been "fleeded" are too em-bare-assed to report the company
• There is powerful protection in making people look stupid
• Besides, it takes weeks or months before the BBB gets another report
• In the meanwhile, unscrupulous operator have moved to another operation
• Pay attention to your intuition and to your conscience
• If you suspect anything at all, look for another opportunity, there are plenty available
• If the recriting process is geared up to fire up your greed glands, throw a monkey wrench into the sales machine and run
• If you are desparate and need money now, look for gainful employment somewhere else. You will not be thinking clearly
• Find out what kind of training program is available and find out the cost
• Legitimate companies invest in the training of their sales staff
• Disreputable companies make almost as much or more money on their "assocates sales training" than they do on product sales
• Check to see if you are required to purchase front loaded products
• Front loaded products are mandatory purchases of products that you don't need and can't sell
• Reputable companies provide the products for you to sell, and pay a living-wage commision on the sale of those products
• If the price that you have to pay for the products is above retail, you know that the offer is a "rip off"
• Beware of paying to attend fancy "motivational" gatherings


• Ask to talk to successful associates who have been students of the upline guru that is supposed to mentor you
• Discover what the training was actually like
• Ask to tag along, listen in, be a fly on the wall during a typical day with this person


• See if the amount of work that is required by the successful person matches the amount of work that you were told it would take


• Some MLM recruiters promise one hour of work a day and $10,000 per month, when the real equation is 100 hours of work per week and $1.00 per month


• This will also help you determine if your "mentor" has enough time to train you, or is that person so busy making money for themselves that you are left to fend for yourself (most common scenario)


• Check to see if your upline sponsor believes in the "quick buck, make a killing" approach. If so, run!


• The quick buck that these money-grubbing, leaches that attach themselves to your wallet make are the bucks that you used to own

Recruiting the Life Blood of MLMs: Translation--"Bleed the Suckers Dry"

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is driven by recruitment. Products are only an excuse that are used to recruit new distributors.

In some ways, products are irrelevant.

In fact, we have coined the term, "ill-relevant" to describe the negative effects that products have on MLM distributors.

In some ways, it would be cheaper and less of an economic burden if distributors just gave money to the people in their upline, instead of having to buy products.

Note: Being forced to buy products to either…

• Stay in the program
• Maintain commissions
• Continue to qualify for independent distributor status

...are all semi-legal ploys to continue to drain money from the MLM associate.

Recruitment Under False Pretenses

What pushes Multilevel Marketing schemes over the line from being barely legal to being illegal is whether the recruit stands any chance at all of being profitable.

In most cases, unless the recruit gets into the company on the first leg as one of the organizers, or, unless the recruit "jumps ship" from another MLM organization and bring their entire organization; the independent associate must work without ceasing, allow the recruiting process to consume them, and bend the truth.

The Ethics of Full Disclosure

The way that someone who is not on the top rung of the "MLM Pyramid" makes money is by…

• Telling the eager crowd of recruits that they will make money, while knowing that over 90% of them will loose money
Selling training
• Selling Promotional materials
• Forcing automatic sales of unneeded products by the recruits in order for them to remain eligible for commission payments
• Replacing downline associates with new recruits when existing ones drop out

Some critics state that the only way that upline folks can make money is by bending the ethics of full disclosure, and convincing a never ending stream of recruits to join their organization.

The unethical issues crop up when upline folks continue to harvest recruits even after they realize that the market for the products that they are selling is "saturated."

In this case, saturation means a saturation in the number of independent associates that are signed up, past the level where the market can create income for only just so many people.

Legitimate businesses control the number of their sales force so that the earning ability of their representatives is not watered down. Disreputable MLM companies continue to expand the representative base because the money comes, not from new customers, but from the induction fees and front-load product purchases that are required of the new associates.

in this way, the customer (new recruit) is being tricked into thinking that they are sales representatives, when in fact, they are the customers.

21 Ways to Tell if an MLM Offer is a Scam

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) success requires common sense and education.

We need more common sense in the MLM field because MLM folks look too gullible to their customers…their greatest sketpics.

We also need more education.

The reason that so many folks fail at MLM is that their "so called" upline fails to train them.

Here is a link that will add to your education.

21 Ways to Spot an MLM Scam

MLMs are Scams: Make Money Anyway.blogspot.com

MLM Aspects of Affiliate Marketing

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and Affiliate Marketing share many traits in common.

Here are the similarities…

Both types of marketers:

• Cover all their own expenses
• Invest in their own training
• Expect training from their upline or sponsors, and never get it
• Devote their own (uncompensated) time, energy and effort to the task
• Jump from one new product or company to another
• Grab after "instant riches" instead of building a real business
• Come to believe that the problem is "themselves"
• Are blind to the real value that they can create

In addition, only a handful of either entry level Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) "independent associates" and folks with entry level Affiliate Marketing skill sets will ever turn a profit…yet alone make a living from these opportunities.

The Reason: Thinking Like a Customer instead of Like an Entrepreneur

You see... the myth of making money fast seduces the common sense of these folks, and they buy into the hype. They are hooked by slick sales pitches that leave them bereft of their own cash.

The riches that they hoped to "hog up" get gobbled up by the higher ups.

In a way, this is like a farm, where the farmer feeds on the pig that it raises. Well, maybe it is more like the farmer milking the cow. The upline raises the downline, i.e., the farmer raises and milks the cow.

The upline milks the downline cash cow.

Real entrepreneurs Know what They are Doing: They have a Plan

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) and Affiliate Marketing hopefuls wish that their "ship would come in." But, real entrepreneurs know that their hard work on high payoff tasks will bring in the bacon.

Real entrepreneurs know that…

• You need to know what you are doing
• You have to be persistent
• Every action must be focused on making money
• Every expense must be focused on making money
• You pick one strategy and focus on it until you finish


• You sell to customers, not family and friends
• It takes money to acquire customers
• You have to measure everything
• Your business plan must be in writing
• Marketing is different than advertising, and you have to have a testable marketing plan that you follow

Without a solid business foundation, it is next to impossible to earn a living as either an Affiliate Marketer or a MLM Distributor.

Why? Because there is lots of competition, and both Multi-Level Marketers (MLM) and Affiliate Marketers need to offer products, services or programs that "do their competition one better."

So, don't believe the hype that this is easy.

Thinking and planning is hard, and testing is expensive and time consuming if you do it right.

And, what is the way of doing testing right?

Slowly and Carefully!

Think and Do Differently

The answer to entrepreneurial success is think and do things very differently from the "run of the mill" hoard. But, these folks are not really your competition. You need strategies and techniques that are different (and better) than the successful leaders in your business or industry.

You have to beat the folks who know the secrets at their own game. And, these folks won't share enough of the tricks and techniques to allow you to make it.

Affiliate Marketing: The Online Equivalent of MLM?

Is Affiliate Marketing the online equivalent of Multi-Level Marketing (ML)?

Here are the similarities, although these seem to go against the grain of current thought.

You see... There so many folks believe that they can make a living online by marketing affiliate products online that they sign up to be affiliates (Independent Distributors?). You see the claims all the time.

But, here is the truth…

• You need to know what you are doing to be successful in affiliate marketing, just like MLM


• You have to be persistent until you break even, then make a profit, just like MLM


• Most affiliates fail to make any money at all, just like MLM


• Lots of people join, then bail out left and right, just like MLM


• Most people can't make any money on an affiliate program after the first promotion that they make to their family and friends, just like MLM

So, if it is next to impossible to earn a living as either an affiliate marketer or a MLM distributor, why is there so much hype that claims that this is the "easy street" to riches?

The Realm of the Possible

Well, it may be almost impossible to make money with either affiliate marketing or MLM, but it is possible to make money, and to make money ethically.

But, let's explore the false claims.

Let's see if we can still tap into either industry, even though the whole market is now saturated.

How are top affiliate marketers and MLM distributors making so much money, when the ordinary person can't?

And, how is the online market place different than the hard-goods, MLM market place?

Each market holds niches, have you found yours?

The answer is that the people that are successful do things very differently from the "run of the mill" person. And these strategies and techniques are different than you might think that they would be.

What happens is that newcomers to either field are told some of the story, but not all. In fact, they are not told enough of the story to make it work.

But, some affiliate programs are different, and some upline sponsors really teach the folks in their downline what to do. Most don't.

Here is a program that will show you exactly what happens "in the back office."

And, what happens in the back office is not that difficult for your to replicate, if only you knew what to do.

So, when someone shares these strategies and techniques (no need to call them secrets), you should pay attention.

Multi-Level Marketing: Online Marketing Equivalent That Works

business opportunities, mlms, multi-level marketing scams

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) schemes that involve money are questionable, but, there are other schemes that work.

The T2000 Ultra program, is an example of one of these.

Why, because the payoff is not in money, but in Website traffic.

Question: What difference does this make?

Answer: A lot, because traffic on the Web can expand, and expand.

Look at this ad…



Of course, this scheme has a catch. What is the catch…

The catch is that once you get the people to your site, you have to convert them into believers, buyers, fans, advocates of your offer.

But, that is a story for another day.

The other catch is that you have only one ad to place, so it better be good.

Your ad must promise a believable benefit in only one line.

But, you can test different ads, and find one that works.

Then, you have to have a "back end offer" that your visitors want.

There is no sense luring people into a marketing funnel if you don't have a system created and ready for them to buy from you.

This doesn't have to be huge or elaborate, only something that people want.

Just what would you do with a million visitors to your site?

Reason to Avoid MLM-Schemes: Paypal will Kill your Account

Want to Establish a Web MLM?: Beware!

If you want to start a Web Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) because the entry costs are cheap and the pickings are great, beware.

You will be unable to use a PayPal™ account.

PayPal™ does not allow the use of its service with MLM and pyramid schemes.

The reason for this is that PayPal™ has determined that all MLM systems are "illegal."

Paypal™ interprets MLMs to fall under its, "Get Rich Quick" policy.

Here is the link to the PayPal™ Get Rich Quick Policy…

Link to the PayPal™ "Get Rich Quick" Policy

Of course, people in MLM programs and systems do not believe that they are doing anything illegal.

But, they are expecting to "get rich quickly."

But isn't it the American Dream to get rich?

And, don't the folks that get in on the top of a pyramid scheme get rich?

Well, yes, but at some point other folks, and lots of them, fail to get rich.

The pyramid is supported by a base of payees (the downline) who prop up the rich lifestyle of the pay grabbers (upline).

The key here is to "build an organization." This means collecting enough people (both distributors/ agents, and customers) that contribute their work to the upline's leisure.

The problem here is that the sales-soldiers work a lot and receive little pay, while the sales-generals work a little (or not) and receive a lot of pay.

Working for the hope that you will eventually get a lot of money is OK. People that start their own businesses do that all the time.

The problem starts when the pharaohs look down from their pyramid perch and can see that the market is saturated. What do they do?

The ethical action would be warn everyone that is involved in the organization, halt the enrollment of any new folks, improve the product, cut prices, and increase training and support to the existing sales team. However, the typical response is to continue raking in cash, starting a new business and bringing over anyone with a downline, and launching an exit strategy before the lawsuits and regulators close in.

So, while it is not illegal to "fleece" economic "sheep" by leading them down the hype-rose path to the shearing, PayPal™ frowns upon the practice, and will kill the account of anyone who uses their service in that way.

Whether this policy is fair to Multi-Level Marketers when the government does not label all MLM systems as illegal is the subject for hot debate.

But, PayPal™ made its money in an ethical and legal manner, and can set its own rules.

Besides, PayPal™ offers buyer's protection, and PayPal™ would loose it proverbial corporate shirt in court with each MLM lawsuit it tried to defend against.

If you don't like the PayPal™ rules, the solution is simple. Use another service, and don't worry about the business that you will have lost by not providing a system for accepting PayPal™ payments.

So, if you are about ethical business, think clearly about participating in a MLM scheme. If you want to make a quick penny, while loosing nickels and dimes later, go with MLM.

If your reputation isn't worth a nickel, do all the MLM that you want. Only, forget about doing it using your PayPal™ account.

Skeptical about Online MLM?: After you have been Burned Offline, You have to be...

You don't believe that online Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) holds any more promise than the offline "opportunity" that burned you the last time, do you?

Well, who can blame you?

Your trusting nature...taken advantage of.

Your money

Your hopes and dreams of easy money...dashed on the rocks of a cutthroat reality.

Instead of being easy to sell; those cleaning supplies, that cookware, those vitamins, that high-end knife set, those over-priced skin-care formulations, that marked-up by 40% to 100% gadget...you were left with credit card debt, products you couldn't sell, and no commission on the odd sale that you did launch because you couldn't afford to keep up the monthly purchase requirements.

And, when you stop paying monthly the commissions that you are owed from the work of your down line dry up. This is the case of "fat money" going after "thin money" until you work your way up.

But, the problem isn't that your down line "partners" aren't doing their job, the problem is one of "time to positive cash flow."

In reality, you are the victim of "up line road kill." The people at the top of the MLM Pyramid ride easy street and are "making a killing," while you are on the trod the road to debt.

The problem is that MLM independent associates are really selling product plus overhead. This accounts for the inflated, premium prices that MLM products must carry.

Ordinary prices, normal wholesale, and honest markup that provide a reasonable profit are missing in the MLM model. Instead, the markup migrates "up," with each successive layer above siphoning their "share" of your effort.

This model works "great" until the market hits saturation, then, more work at selling and prospecting leads to diminishing returns.

At this point, the "higher-ups, the president's circle dudes and triple platinum gals" cash out. They abandon the static (or sinking) company, take their down line with them, and move on to a new company where they can pick fresh fruit.

Such a process leaves lots of hurting people in its wake. People that are eager to recoup their losses and restore their dignity and self-worth.

This group makes an ideal market, as long as you actually have a product or system that can help them.

But, this group has been burned once, twice. or more...first, second or third degree MLM burns. They are suspicious, and maybe even bitter.

Your first job is to eliminate all risk, perceived or otherwise. Then, you build their confidence by telling them a story about your own life, one that they can relate to.

Once you gain the trust of this group, avoid high-pressure tactics, instead...

* Pre-sell
* Recommend
* Show other people obtaining benefits

The indirect approach is always superior to full, frontal sales with "MLM-Wars" veterans.

Alleviating pain and suffering makes you a trusted advisor, rather than a sales person.

And, when you are trusted. Never do anything stupid and self-serving like drag them into another MLM scheme.

Lead the only to systems where they actually can make a living.

Ethical MLMs: A new way to Financial Freedom

Multi-Level Marketing schemes (MLMS)abound with the promise to make you a lot of money.

Trouble is, you don't have enough rich friends to sign up, and your family members are always strapped for cash.

In fact, if you tell them how much money you are making on your MLM business, they always seem to get around to asking you if they could borrow some money!

But, what if you could make one of these systems work? What would that be? Would that be a sustainable business?

Here is the simple answer.

You don't make money trying to sell MLM products yourself. No, what you do is help the endless supply of people who are baited, cajoled, seduced…promised the Moon...maybe even promised the stars and the planets…for joining a downline.

Basic marketing is simple:

1. Find a desperate, rabid crowd that lusts, hungers, thirsts, longs for your product
2. Find a huge "want" in the members of that crowd
3. Pander to that want or resolve the biggest "pain" that the crowd members anguish over

With cleaning products, high-end vitamins, exotic berry juices, Internet marketing eBooks; the hunger, thirst, i.e., "lust" is to make money. And, the pain is the problem of building a downline.

The upline sponsor made hard-to fulfill promises, painted bright and sparkling scenarios, touched the "G-string" in the prospect's greed gland and shared the secret treasure map to the "Fountain of Wealth."

But, after salivating by expecting a chauffeur-driven excursion to the savory meal at the Wellspring of Wealth; the prospect finds themselves trudging the Road of Hard Knocks. And, the only "load lightening" that the sponsor offered was the light-touch that excised a substantial "chunk of change" from their bank account or wallet.

And, what remains tattooed upon the psyche and tattered self-esteem of the downline, down-hearted, down-in-the-dumps fleeced dumpling that is your prospect is plenty of pain.

Pain that you can use to your advantage to make plenty of easy money. Money of the kind that the poor chump that you are going to help dreamed of. Easy money. Fulfill your dreams money.

And, you are going to help in an ethical manner…help eliminate the pain and shame from your prospect with the dumpster self-image feels.

Whether they have have a stash of vitamins that will feed a family of 12 for a year, a garage warehouse of cleaning fluids that could sanitize the NYC taxi cab fleet, or enough tropical berry juice to float a boat; they are in over their financial heads.

You could...

• help them cut their losses
• coach them on how to start and run a real business
• refer them to MLMers Anonymous
• Help them sell this stuff to other losers

A Better Idea

A better idea, and one that is the subject of this Blog, is to provide resources that help people that were snared in the glittering trap baited with the possibility of riches; i.e., MLM Independent Distributors, to actually make money.

These goals can be modest of grandiose. But, you can help them save face after making a monetary health threatening decision like joining the MLM-de-jour.

Or, you can help them make real money.

The choice is yours, and your conscience will remain "squeaky" clean.

Help them Look on the Bright Side

People that you help don't have to remain shackled to guilt for squandering their savings. Their children can receive a real inheritance, not some equity in a "pyramid-plan" search for the "money-oasis" scheme that has no chance of paying out.

You can show these lost and confused souls the way out of debt, the way to financial freedom. And, your goals do not have to be major and earth shattering. If you can get the "distributor" to call a halt to the $150.00 a month product shipment (you make them $1,800 that would have been lost in unsalable inventory).

Show them how to liquidate and offload the stack of products that they accumulated by selling on eBay™, and show them how to actually recruit people that want to take on the product sales role.

Nobody would mind being a MLM Independent Distributor if it wasn't for the recruiting and endless telephone calls.

The Key

There is only one key to success in the MLM arena. That is, "Make Recruiting Easy." Automate the recruiting, and you have a "do-able" business.

Try to recruit the way that the rich owners of the MLM companies suggest, and you become a slave to the telephone and your prospect list.

Consider this Blog the online equivalent of helping someone out of debt by cutting up their credit cards.
