1. MLM is an Illegal Pyramid Scam.
Multi-level marketing (MLM), also called Network Marketing,
is a legitimate method for promoting goods and services.
In contrast, Pyramid Scams concentrate mainly on the quick
profits to be earned by selling the right to recruit others.
Theres no such thing as a MLM Pyramid Scam. Its like
saying someone is an Honest Liar.
2. MLM Doesnt Work.
While MLM is not for everyone, it does work. Is there a
correct way and a wrong way to drive a car, do your job,
build a house, educate your children or take a test? Of
course there is, and there is a right way and a wrong way to
do MLM. If you have ever had a good or bad experience with a
product or service and told people about it, then you were
Networking Marketing. You were just not getting an extra
paycheck in the mail for your word of mouth advertising.
3. The Only People that Make Money in MLM are The Ones At
The Top.
Mr. Anderson is at the top and retails $20,000 worth of
product and makes a 45% commission. He just made $9,000. Now
lets say Anna, a single mother with two kids is at the
bottom and retails $1,000 worth of product. She makes a 45%
commission, which is $450. Is she going to return that $450
check just because shes not at the top? Would you?
4. You Dont Have to Go to Weekly Meetings.
How much can doctors, lawyers, chiropractors, judges,
actors, musicians and corporate executives make per year?
Some make six-figures per year. They went to college and got
their education. Weekly meetings are the college to get your
education in MLM.
5. You Have to Invest A Lot of Money and Time in MLM.
If the company you are looking at requires a lot of money
that you cant afford, then find another company that fits
your budget. You do have to spend money to make money but it
doesnt have to be a lot. If you can invest 10 hours a week,
then you can do MLM.
6. MLM is Not The Wave of The Future.
More and more people are looking at MLM as a retirement
option, and many more are interested in joining during a
down economy. Also, people are also more receptive to MLM
from September through November because of the coming
holidays.
7. You Dont Have to Retail Products in MLM.
Products were not meant to be bought and left in your
basement. They are meant to end up in the consumers hand.
Most distributors are product users first which means you
retail to recruit, not recruit to retail.
8. All You Have to Do is Mail These @#$%* and Get Rich.
If it were that simple, everyone would be doing it and be
rich. You cant mail tapes, postcards, flyers or whatever
and get rich.
9. No Advertising, Retailing or Recruiting Required. We
Will Do it For You.
When you were in school did you have someone else do your
homework, take your tests, give your oral exam, talk to the
girls and take them out for you? Did the teachers and girls
give you credit for someone else doing your work? Even if
the work was good or bad? No! MLM is no different.
10. Once You Start MLM You Are On Your Own.
Some MLM companies tell you to go out and see what works
for you. Thats the go sick em training. Success in MLM
requires duplication, not innovation. There must be a
unified duplicatable system in place for you to succeed. You
are in business for yourself but not by yourself.
For more information regarding the legitimacy and legalities
on MLM, contact your local Better Business Bureau and State
Attorney Generals Office, and NEVER join a MLM company
without researching and investigating it thoroughly.
