The ONLY Exception To Doing MLM - Otherwise Forget It!

Hello Fellow Warriors,

I slammed MLM to the ground in a few previous posts but I did read one of the comments saying that this was an IM forum and thus MLM companies do apply as more and more of them are being marketing online.

That is the only exception I can see for doing this business at least for myself. Would be to market it via IM online. No more weekly meetings or hypnotic corporate events or even meeting people one on one for that matter.

It's all about IM and if not it certainly is 80%-90% soon to be 100% in the next 3-5 years.

That said I read some reviews on WF for companies like Power Lead System where you can use to bring in leads for your main MLM business as well as make money via affiliate commissions from Power Lead System.

Anyone have another other "MLM" companies that actually can be sold as a stand alone like Power Lead System. I don't like Empower Network or MLSP or even Power Lead System for that matter just wondering what else is out there.

Thanks Warriors!

J

      The ONLY exception for doing MLM ( at least imo) is if the MLM was actually based around a
      worthy product.... i.e one that I would use even if I didn't belong to the MLM

      This disqualifies about 99.9% of the MLMs out there

    The only legitimate MLM (where you want to profit entirely from your downline) is when a merchant offers an actual product or service that your downline can sell a lot of.

    So it might say something like "Affiliates earn 10% of all sales. Refer an affiliate and earn 2% of their sales."

    There is never under any circumstances money paid by you or your downline into the system. If the system requires you to pay a join fee, buy hosting or training materials, that is a scam MLM exactly 100% of the time.

    I agree with you both. It's funny how we always continue to search for something new and improved when MLMs are just scams. Period. There is no other way around it. Having to pay to join is where the real money is made and basically a ponzi scheme. J

    Thanks Enfusia but I don't need help closing the leads so much as have the quality leads to close lol. But I'm done with MLM even online. The lack of control with the company is the main reason.

        Was a generally speaking thread of the only possible way I'd do it. I re-thought what is was like to hang around with MLM flakes and the employment challenged I guess lol. J

    The silliness continues. If the naysayers had half a clue what legit MLM is about
    and how it's built effectively well... heck... they'd still be talking as if they know something

    Clue... they don't.

      If you are working with any "Real Legit MLM" business you need to be able to expand/grow with any and all means possible, that means Online, Offline, Business to Business, Networking, Mastermind Teams, Advertising, Retail, and People to People. There is no reason to limit yourself to one aspect of MLM.

    Consider marketing niche-relevant affiliate products for generating MLM leads. It not only solidifies prospects for further qualification into your company, but also helps to defray recruiting and training costs.

    What I've been doing (and taught my downline to do exactly the same way) is focus on marketing nominally priced products (Clickbank, Amazon, etc) to your targeted demographics.

    As your relationships progress through successive transactions, you will often reach a point where your customers will begin to trust you enough to convey their personal dreams goals, and financial situation.

    This recruiting process may take several weeks or perhaps a couple of months depending on how well you can relate on a personal level with your customers.

    In essence, you need to brand yourself first before showing your opportunity. This method (coupling affiliate marketing with MLM) was taught to me nearly 20 years ago by my sponsor in a large MLM company.
