Your Ad Here How's that MLM passive income business going?
I mean, the one on which you laid the foundation of your retirement?
Or, are you still buried in that 9-5 'no-escape' job?
I thought your dream was to "easily" double or triple your Just Over Broke pay?
So, I ask again, How's it going?
My guess, if I follow what's happening all around you, is, you're not doing very well.
Right?
Let me guess:
You are...right in the middle of some commission-based compensation that you and
your other distributors were lulled into. You had all these promises of benefitting
from an ever expanding distribution chain.
You are looking forward to taking lots of dough off your downline, building unimaginable wealth.
Why do I have this feeling that, without your knowing it, you are in the middle
of a full blown illegal pyramid scheme?
Oh yes, they will scream that they are not illegal, that they are offering services, like
teaching marketing strategies, etc., But, don't you suspect that they are some kind of
crooked set-ups?
Where are the goods, where is the value offered in return for cash?And when they pass on
a few cents to you, you call them dividends, hope of greater things to come?
Until something substantial with easily calibrated values is sold out, its nothing
but pure manipulation of figures and predatory positioning.
There is another type of mlm. This time, there is product, hard evidential product.
The only trouble is, in these traditional MLM passive income offers, the sponsors
expect you to purchase it first, along with other expensive products or ancillary materials?
Sorry,but, even here, these would get you nowhere.
I know...I know..there is all that garbage talk about buying the product, testing it
first, enjoying its benefits before offering to others.
But, we all know what you do with these products. We all know the truth, that they end
up in your garage, your attic, gathering dust, upsetting your spouse, who, one cleaning
weekend, helps you out by throwing them out into the garbage can, with a pretence of
protestation from you, of course. But you know, and she knows, that they are useless.
All that has happened is that you have used your hard earned money to help
the first comers, the groundfloor opportunity people, the program sponsors,
their relations, their friends, to continue to make a kill, making up their
targeted income at your expense.
These guys build you into their own version of product fanatic. You go out
there, making an absolute ass of yourself, for them, harassing even your
own mother to try this or that potion, as you get desperate for a sale.
Of course, Mama knows there's something similar, at a fraction of the cost, with no hype
or verbiage attached, at the CVS, Walgreen, GNC, down the street.
It always pays to be nice. But people do not stay nice for ever and friends,
relations, will sooner or later, avoid you like a skunk.
And remember, many of these passive income mentors, your so-called upline are
sometimes not at all nice. They have simply fixed, at the back of their minds,
the amount they could get, a lot of something from nothing.
Take this friendly advice; find ways to quit such groups.These are pyramid
groups hidden under the guise of potent money problem solvers, billionaire makers.
Do not heed what the pyramid promoter. Of Course he will keep up his Conference
calls, exhorting you with promises of money , and continued help in recruiting
more distributors.
The bottom line here should be honest work in honest environment with just compensation.
If it is not happening, it's probably never going to happen.
Throwing your tired body at mlm scams disguised in whatever form, after your 9-5 job,
is not going to make the cut. Throwing, month after month, money, purchasing useless,
sometimes, harmful, products, will not cut it either.
Finally, another problem you might be facing with your passive income dream,is the
fact that most distributors deal with their internet business in a half-hearted manner.
They just do not give enough time or attention. If you find yourself in the midst of
shysters, it will surely take you like forever to build anything or even earn anything.
Huge dislocation in the structure due to failures of co-distributors, usually your
downline, is a certain death knell to your business.
Each member of the MLM business group must work hand-in-hand to sustain
the set objectives of the group. This practice is not just recommended.
It is a must to follow.Doing otherwise can only lead towards business failure.
That is why it is very important to have a reason, for your involvement in a particular
MLM. Not realizing why you are operating an MLM business, not having a definite business
target or objective is like putting to sail without a compass, a direction,
a number of destinations.
You need to know, as early as possible, how valid your plan is and whether you are going in the
directions you planned when you joined or just plain drifting.
You need to remember that anything that takes your money and your time deserves to be
treated seriously.
if you are just looking for a hobby, try the gym. Don't play around with other people's
hard earned money, efforts and sweat.I am talking about your upline and downline.
In other words, early from the birth of your MLM business, you should have already
realized the reasons why you are driving the business. Setting your business objectives
is the keyword.
Complement that with a well-established commitment to work and duty, and you are, all things
being equal, in a position to make hay, lots of hay, if the sun is shining.
Sun-shining means, as I have repeated, that you got all other things right, from choosing
the right business through mixing with the right crowd, with the right attitude from sponsor
through upline to downline, with training and good management to boot....
When all these are in place, then is the time to start moving.
Remember, product distributors, and that includes you, must attend to their respective
assignments. One cannot make the MLM business grow by just merely, wishing it or admiring
your replicated website.
Be committed to your work. Take time to learn, read, learn, ask, learn, and, along the way,
pinpointing your networking weaknesses, having the good luck to correct, sometimes,
potentially costly mistakes.
Once again, best of luck. You deserve it after taking the pains to read through this.
