MLM Business Opportunity

Archive for October, 2009

This is not affiliate or mlm. It is a service for auto buyers and sellers.

I am using a marketing program where you can send out millions or billions of ads to a targetted group … like placing an ad in the auto/truck section of the classifieds of a newspaper. The responses or visitors to your website then are interested in YOUR business and are not just general or accidental visitors who hop in and then out right away.

Press releases to introduce your service (whether new or established) or e-zine articles help too. Joining forums to share information or blogging to informally invite interaction with people who may be potential or existing customers is a strategy to develop relationship building. This helps to establish your credibility as a knowledgable and honest person so that the customer feels secure in making a purchase.

You are welcome to contact me. I may have some other resources or tips & hints but would need a few more specifics to give you the most useful information. Don’t worry…I do not charge a fee… it’s all for the love of marketing, networking, and relationship building… I help you… maybe you help me!

Being that all MLMers tell you its a business, I am wondering what business principals are used to assess the opportunity from a financial point of view.

For instance, last year I bought an apartment building and my investigation of whether it was a good financial opportunity consisted of looking at the gross and net incomes for the prior 3 years (verifying income and expenses) , looking at the market rents and occupancy rates, and calculating the average sales prices (on a per unit base) over the past 6-12 months within a 1 mile radius. All that information was used in my financial assessment of the deal and to help me decide whether it was worthwhile.

Looking at financial statements is key in buying any business, but I have never heard of this in MLM. Other than statements made at a meeting or from their sponsor, what financial criteria is being used to decide whether the MLM "business opportunity" makes sense financially and is it ever verified?
Mexico4me, so your research was merely looking at a COMPENSATION PLAN! Oh my, how sad.

What exactly did you verify? That the plan would pay a particular compensation percentage? So, you are telling me your upline number’s, someone who is supposedly making money running this MLM business, was of no interest to you?

Yes, you are delusional. Thanks for proving my point!

MLM’s make 90% of their money through turn-over. Constantly repeating a cycle of recruiting, training, selling and quitting.

Most people will join, sell what they can to friends and family, then quit.

It’s only an opportunity for those willing to recruit and train. Problem is, once you realize you are selling overpriced crap to your friends and family, most people won’t be able to recruit anyone if they don’t believe in the product they are selling.

Bottom line, MLM’s are tough for most people to make any real money at, unless you stick through it long enough to recruit lots of people below you, where you make money on their sales.

And of course no one wants to show you their books or really look at hard figures, because it’s all pie in the sky.

Looking to find some stuff to read that is generic enough to apply to my business. Being that I can only market to Texas and that I can’t spam or use generic websites to funnel into my website makes it harder to advertise. Having strict advertising rules, I am looking for other ways find people who are looking for my business at Ignite.

I had purchased both Renegade and Magnetic Sponsoring. I kept Renegade and got my Magnetic refunded, it is pretty shallow compared to the Renegade System which you get included.

Now I have it all down to one neat synergy of four aspects.

1. My MLM Prospecting: I use SiteBuildIt to create my websites. There is nothing better. http://www.prospecting.simplyseen.com

2. For getting MLM referrals and building lasting relationships OFFLINE (and this is suitable for network marketers from all companies.) I use SendOutCards (Take a free trial and you will see what I mean) http://www.referrals.simplyseen.com

3. My MLM Autoresponders: Follow Up is handled by AWeber. And the campaign sharing facility allows my sequence of follow up messages to be copied from my account straight into my new downline’s account so that I can get him/her in full swing in quick time. http://www.followup.simplyseen.com

4. My MLM Training: All handled in the Renegade Network Marketer. http://www.simplyseen.com

All sown up in a neat bundle, success simply seen in any MLM opportunity.

I’ve done MLM in the past and to be honest, it really depends on the MLM you sign on to. Weebler is right on the mark. Good Luck

I work with a excellent MLM company and am trying to use simple ways to advertise on the internet and I don’t have a lot of time or money to spend on ad’s and useless postings. Any help would be appreciated
As a secondary thought also, I have limited time to spend cold prospecting as most responses might be. but I also use a small amount of that technique.

Thanks for that idea as well.

Starting your own online business can be great! However, there ARE a lot of scams out there so be very careful when you start out. You can check out http://www.bbb.org/alerts/article.asp?ID=436 they give you the 411 on data entry jobs, envelop stuffing and home assembly work scams.

I tried going to the http://www.pcworkathome.net site last week and it lead me to a lot of dead ends. They all seemed to be scams in the end that wanted my money.

I did, however, find an international home-based business that works for me. I looked into data entry jobs, but they all wanted you to pay money and most of them involved typing adds. Not what I had in mind. =/ But I really like the business I found. I did the free trial at first so I had time to check it out. I’m glad I did! =) NO cold calling and NO selling soap to friends and family.

You can check out the site at: http://www.automaticbuilder.com/43264/

If this is something you might be interested in I’d be happy to help get you started.

After 3-6 months you can make about $500 a month and after 1 year $1,000 or more a month. And so on. So it’s not a get rich quick gimmick, it does take time. But it’s steady, long term and residual.

Good Luck!
