I was first introduced MLM also know as Multi Level Marketing and or Network Marketing back in the nineties. It was an online company offering low cost long distance and international telephone services that I thought was going to be a winner.

I was flat broke at that time but put together some flyers to advertise the service and also tried to promote the business through mail order emailshots and advertisements. I failed for 3 reasons.

  1. Even though I advertised the product, almost all of the people I was in contact with were not interested in saving money off their phone calls or changing their service. They didn’t want 2 bills was what I heard most. This was a new idea at that time, it was just a 2 or 3 months after the phone company lost their monopoly and people weren’t very progressive back then.

  2. I did not have enough start up capital to do promotions the justice they deserved and even though I had introduced users and promoters I always fell short of the monthly enrollment requirements to be compensated. Being rewarded. for my work may just have made the difference. I could have made use of those monies to further my promotions.

  3. I joined up under with a very good hearted person but she was was as green as I was to MLM and network marketing. Her upline did not offer any help to her, we had to help each other. It was fun but like the blind leading the blind and got very frustrating after a while.

I made an effort with that concern for several months and not once got paid. while I was doing that I had foundv that information publishing was where I was earning money. I hated to use that money to promote the company I had become disappointed with so I reinvested my earnings back into what was doing well for me.

After 2 or 3 of years I published my own informational e-zine and quite a bit of what I saw involving multi level marketing let me down further.

I saw MLM companies launching in other countries without the correct legal work being done. Many of people would join and in their naivity plunk down money advertising something that was in fact illegal and likely to be closed down.

I had been told of people who had piles of the products stored away and would probably never use it. Whay is that?Why? Because some of these companies require you to buy an amount of product every month before you would be remunerated for your efforts and your down-lines efforts.

I know of a person earned thousands of pounds every month with his company. One month he spent 2 weeks on holiday and came back down with food poisoning. He fell 1 short of the required monthly recruiting figures and his earnings went to his upline. Can you imagine that happening?

Companies move the goal posts just when people start to do well.

I would getphone calls asking me to join a easy opportunity. Because I am polite I didn’t tell them to get lost when they were extolling the virtues of companies that I probably knew more than them about. I would tell them why I objected and get really answers that were particularly annoying:

I’m not interested in the product

…The product doesn’t matter as you will soon get a great income.

I haven’t got the time

…It only requires you to spend an hour a week promoting

I already have a lot of projects on the go and wouldn’t be able to do right by justice and to spend time helping those who joined with me as well.

…They won’t need any assistance this business is very easy to run

I could go on but I’m sure you get the picture. I really grew to abhor network marketing and some of those that it attracted, but being in constant contact with them was all part of my business so putting up with it was a daily chore.

One day I had a telephone call from a new subscriber. He was a network marketer yawn… and he tried to get me to join. What he said to me during that call made me rethink my bad opinion of network marketers, but he was one among many.

He related to me that I should be interested in using the product regularly so I would be able to honestly recommend it. He told me that I would need to make a good initial investment to enable proper promotion of the business. He also related that it would be some hard work and take at least 20 hours a week and that it would take a few months to start earning and that earnings would gradually expand if I continued the hard work. In short he told me the truth!

I was astonished at his honesty and told him so and why. His answered that he was always honest about the business and that he would rather have one good signer who knew the score from the beginning than 20 who believed that they would earn a fortune with no money and little effort. That one good joiner would earn both of them far more profit than those who joined on pipedreams.

Here is a company I believe to be a good one. There is a 30 day marketing plan to get you off to a good start. Guaranteed customers and great support.
