MLM Business Opportunity

Archive for November, 2009

My mlm company has a solid downline, and permits me to make over $10,000 a month in income. I am looking to sell my whole position for about $500,000. I am not looking for people here that are interested (don’t think anyone here is rich enough), I am merely looking for advice on how to go about marketing it for sale and how to sell it.
To the first answerer…you are perhaps jealous of the income I am making, and that is ok. I get that a lot. This is what MLM can do for you, you can become successful and have others look up to you in this manner. Maybe if I was in your position, I would feel the same way. Thanks anyway, but I am only looking for serious answers…unless you are interested in building a business, in that case send me an email.

You are in idiot. You are acting like you have a solid asset for sale. I would rather buy an apartment building that was built on quick sand, and built on a fault line and built in a hurricane zone. To me that seems like a more solid asset.

Good luck.

This designer must have msn so we can chat.

I need a MLM script that allows others to advertise their banners as well. You will work hand in hand once done with my graphic artist to design it.

I have done some freelance web design in the past. I will need more details about the project before I commit. Send Email if interested.

I have a friend who is VERY ambitious and is building a team through Quixtar. Many of their plans involve consuming the exclusive products sold through Quixtar such as; XS energy drinks, Nutrilite vitamin supplements, and health and beauty products. The convincing and very motivating factors in joining up with this company are things such as: residual income, mass-networking, learning and basically copying mentors who are making atleast 6-figures or are millionaires, and seemingly building your OWN company. The thing is I have done some studies and found out that ALOT of people claim that Quixtar is just a new name for the company Amway who became notorious for some of their procedures. I am just asking for any real professional, experienced, or greatly concerned individual who actually has knowledge either good or bad to share with me about Multi-Level Marketing or/and Quixtar. Any complex information about Quixtar would be gladly accepted. Thank you all for your time!

Amway and Quixtar are both owned by the same parent company, Alticor. Alticor also owns the Orlando Magic, Peter Island, and has exclusive rights to brands like Nutrilite and Artistry which are the best products around.

It wasn’t so much Amway in general that deserved a bad reputation but some of the actions of people within the business earned them a bad rap. In addition, things like door to door selling and having to distribute everything to your downlines were concepts that didn’t work.

Quixtar took all the best aspects of Amway – utilizing Quixtar.com as a portal site where people can redirect all their buying power and earn money through volume. Of course, you also get linked up with BWW (Britt World Wide) as an IBO (Independent Business Owner) and it teaches you what to do and what not to do. BWW is, in itself, worth being involved in the business for. You learn how to run a business, how to talk to people, and a lot of other things that you’ll never get from the working world.

Quixtar has also a great affiliate marketing program with 90+ companies where you can get anything and everything you need that Quixtar doesn’t supply directly. They link with companies like Barnes and Noble, Office Depot, Circuit City, Shop.com. You can get cell phones, plane tickets, insurance, a credit card, whatever you need!

The people are fantastic, the ethics are amazing – it’s a society where people don’t pass negative to each other and just want to see everyone else succeed. Can you find this in the working world? Probably not. You’ll never find any backstabbing, cheating, abuse, or anything like that in this business.

To finish up – yes, it does require a lot of hard work, but in the end it pays off through the factors you stated – especially freedom. On a daily basis we get to interact with these leaders who take time out of their day to help people that aren’t as successful yet to build their business. Quixtar isn’t for the average person, though, so that’s why it’s often viewed as a bad thing when in fact it’s exactly the opposite.

I’ve been researching on how to start my home-based travel business as an independent contractor. I am looking at joining Joystar or Dugans Travels…if you have any experience with any of the two companies, I would appreciate your input. Please DO NOT advertise other travel businesses or companies (MLM, pyramid, etc.) for I have made my final decision in joining either of the two. Thanks so much!

Glad to see you are thinking about joining us. I would recommend contacting our agents with us since only they can tell you if they are happy or not. We list them on our consumer website www.duganstravels.net

I will say that we have the greatest agents working with us. There are so many people willing to help one another out. We have an online chatlist that agents can use to ask questions or get feedback and I think the agents who help answer questions on our chatlist are awesome.

If you plan on booking Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, last I heard Joystar was no longer allowed to book Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. I am not sure if that has been resolved yet.

I am thinking about starting a part-time business at home. I currently work full-time and have two little ones at home. I would like something on the side to supplement my income. My friend mentioned a business called Shaklee but I have not looked into it yet. Any suggestions for a busy mom?

multi-level marketing

When you have found awesome products that you really want to share in the mlm business how do you get public to understand you are not in a pyramid scheme? When in fact I know people who join your team can surpass your income level?
I know we all network.Example "telling" somebody you saw a great movie.Nobody thinks pyramid.Yet you get a more positve response.Really? Im going to go see that or rent that movie.That person tells 3 more friends and they all become blockbuster,netflix,theater or whom ever regulars.Next week those 3 tell people about this great movie they saw using netflix…..you get the idea? We do this all the time.Now is getting paid for referring others …advertising for others ….almost like royalty checks sound soooo scamish?Get quick rich? No it takes work like any business.But where else can I get an online store with back office for $12 per month and also recieve $12 of products to my door each month?6 others $0 www.northbuffalo.premiumproducts.com

It is great that you are passionate about the product and the opportunity to generate an income from sharing it. I agree that MLM gives anyone the opportunity to surpass the uplines income level. I don’t agree with your interpretation of "word of mouth" advertising. If you are telling someone about a great movie, that is word of mouth marketing. You have nothing to gain in the process of telling them. The same goes for the three who tell three and so on. They have nothing to gain by doing so. However, with all of this in mind and if you keep your business real, you can experience word of mouth in MLM from your customers. You are not really getting paid for referring, you are getting paid on your sales.

Please don’t get me wrong, I enjoy MLM. I prefer to target market. I have learned many ways to attract people to what I have to offer. I owe what I have learned through a free ebook which I have posted in my Yahoo Answers Profile page. There are great ways to couple real business marketing skills with the MLM opportunity and products.

Multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, web page schemes, unlimited income schemes, passive income schemes, etc.

As a bonus, why do these companies take successful people’s quotes out of context to glorify their programs (Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, etc)?

It’s a new form of distributing products faster and cheaper to a larger customer base, through the powerful tool of referral or word of mouth.

As communication about selling is made, some but apparently a large number of (new or aggressive) distributors may sell the product to their own friends and family members without thinking if there’s a real need for it.

So sometimes, relationships may turn sour just because of a failed sales attempt.

Isn’t AVON a MLM company- and aren’t they supposed to just do word of mouth advertising? I just wonder if the big bucks it takes to make those ads gets taken, essentially, out of the pockets of the consultants in the long run?

Anyways, I’m just curious about this. I use my skin care/cosmetics from a different MLM company.
ETA: I use Arbonne, and its pretty popular and only uses word of mouth- its definitely possible for this type of business/company.

I don’t know, I always wondered also. My local AVON lady says she barely makes a dime out of what she sells, so I wonder…why do it?

-shrug- I don’t really shop AVON anymore. I’m starting to go more towards Mary Kay…

Since MLM products (as a rule) are priced higher than what might be considered “retail” in stores there needs to understanding and consideration of:
a. MLM products have to be of higher quality than retail products to get customers to “feel better.” Time after time exposé’s on TV show that many items on a store shelf contain nothing but the equivalent of “sawdust.” To stay alive MLM companies “generally” have to produce higher quality products. To determine which are most effective requires a product by product test by the MLM seller. Only by personal experience can an MLM Distributor “bond to a product.” This “bonding” is an essential element of being able to aptly sell a product.
MLM IS A GOOD BUSINESS

Yes, there are some bad companies out there and pure pyramid schemes. Over all MLM is the Last hope in America for the little person to learn how to make money and actually do it. There are over 10 million people that earn a part time to a full time MLM income. People that hate MLM always ignore the part timer person because I swear the "Bashers" (see below) would rather have them washing dishes or waiting tables. My heart goes out to that divorced woman with 2 kids whose MLM income lets her spend more time with those kids. A woman who that extra $500 a month means the "world" to her and her kids. I look at the people making a living at $3500 a month that are happy. It isn’t just our industry that highlights the high income earners so does Franchising and all types of business opportunities besides MLM. It’s human nature to look at high dollar earners. Every year when college starts enrollees are looking at what graduates started earning when they graduated last spring. Priests and teachers are the only ones deliberately going into a low end earning business (they earn respect
WHY DO I THOROUGHLY DISLIKE MLM BASHERS

AND THEIR ACADEMIC FRAUD?

Most MLM "Bashers" (people that say MLM is no good) have never been close to a good MLM company. They took one bad experience and go bonkers about it. Their point of veiw is a pinhole to match the brain in. Most are wage earning tongue draggers that have not been outside their local city limits. Why do I get mad at them? I have global experience. I have lost more money in more businesses (the majority non-MLM) than those losers ever made! I have also made more money (some of it in MLM) than they could even remotely imagine! Most MLM bashers hate successful people. They go into a state of shock when they see "ignorant" people (by their silly standards) making money. The bashers never figured out that People without a P.H.D. are not automatically dumb. The bashers were outraged when they saw high school dropouts making $500,000 a year. Of course many bashers, that joined MLM companies, were really outraged when they found they would have to "share" or sell something. Work – on my no they cried! Bashers want people to live in cradle to grave society with no risk and wash dishes their whole life. They are the "new socialists" and work hard at destroying vestiges of the last bastion of economic freedom in America and the world! They totally ignore the "little" success stories outlined in the first paragraph.

I think that MLM does NOT equal Pyramid Scheme. Don’t pay attention to ignorant people. It’s a great way to make money and be your own boss. I DO agree that LOTS of Pyramid Schemes in the past gave a bad reputation to a lot of Home Based Businesses, but oh well…. who cares. Believe and move on…

How does MLM marketing work? I was thinking about becoming a shaklee distributor, but I couldn’t find a sponsor who would answer all my questions & I can’t get a full grasp of how MLM marketing works. I don’t want to bother my friends and family. I want to know how to market to the "cold market" = everyone else. Besides marketing on websites mlm is hard for me to understand because 1 i have no loyalty to a certain brand 2. I never bought something from a catalog and 3. i never met someone that said, hey I found this new product try it here is my business card. So how does it work besides advertising in the news paper or on bulletin boards and random strangers? The only way i can think of it working is if you can get small business owners to market the products in there store. But the products are already expensive. If i was a retailer i would not market a product with only a 15% mark down. So how does this work? Who do you market too, How long does it take to build a downline?
Yea you didn’t answer any of my questins
Cindy,

So basically you don’t market to retailers or businesses, you just sell by chatting to people online and offline building business. How do you chat to people for your global business when you don’t speak the language?

Its tough, really tough. I have tried many different schemes with down lines, uplines, PV’s, autoshipping and on and on. Decide what you would really love to do, I mean something your are really passionate about, and think of ways you could turn those into a job. I love pools, so I started a pool management company. 28 pools/week and I never look back.
