Not Your Father's MLM

Solving the Boomer Retirement Crisis

2011-11-02T08:17:00.000-07:00

Twenty years ago, I was offered a position working for the U.S. Economic Development Administration. My task was to find worthwhile small business opportunities to fund in a community that had just lost its major employer. Six hundred jobs were lost overnight -- and these were desirable family-wage jobs that required, for the most part, little education.

I received up-to-date briefings on what were projected to be the business opportunities of the future from my supervisors at the federal, state, and county level. I also did a lot of research and thinking about which of these job-creating businesses would "fly" in our small mountain community.

It was an exciting, engaging project, but none of the conventional solutions we tried worked for very long. Grant money and tax breaks were essentially thrown at businesses that provided a few, mostly low-paying jobs, and then vanished when the federal and state support ran out.

Ironically, it was in my research for a way to create work that average people with little specialized training could do from their homes, I found network marketing. Of course, I didn't dare show such an unconventional project to my employers. They would have laughed me out of town!

But being a fairly sober judge of business opportunities, I was immediately fascinated by this elegant system of moving unique products from the manufacturer to the consumer -- and paying average folks to use and talk up the products to their friends.

Fast-forward twenty years to today and I see even wider potential for solving the Boomer retirement crisis with this creative, but little-understood, American invention: MLM, aka Network Marketing.

It helps to understand that most of the products sold through network marketing are replacements for ones that are being purchased monthly by consumers. Due to efficiencies and savings possible in this marketing medium, manufacturers can invest some of these savings in better quality products, and still deliver them to consumers for less money than they could buy similar items at their retail store.

With a large part of retirees' spending going toward remedies for age-related maladies, it is encouraging to know there are natural alternative nutritional products that can provide real, proven relief at a lower cost than pharmaceutical potions. The job for network marketers is to offer education about these superior natural solutions to neighbors who weren't aware of them.

Talking to friends, neighbors, and acquaintances about our health, our lives, and our useful discoveries is something we all can do. This is why network marketing is a viable opportunity for those who want to supplement their retirement income.

With educational tools, such as CDs, videos, and online Webinars provided by expert presenters and physicians, the average networker only need to know how to successfully *invite* others to review this high-quality information. It is not necessary to have all the answers.

What really makes network marketing the best form of occupation is that -- by steadily building a group of consumer/distributors over a 2-5 year period -- there can be an exponential growth in each person's business productivity. All done without employees and with significant tax advantages!

The big money is not made by door-to-door selling, but by enrolling and training a few others who commit to doing the same process of exposing their contacts to useful products and an opportunity to earn more than they could anywhere else.

If the public can come to truly understand what MLM/network marketing is and the blessings it offers, there would be few worries about the Boomers' limited savings for their retirement needs.

For the best explanation of what network marketing is, how it works, and the income potential it provides, see the free video, Brilliant Compensation banner at the top of this page. It features an interview with a Harvard-trained professor of business and a self-made MLM millionaire discussing how this unique business really works. There is no need to give up your email to watch this -- it is my gift to you.

Would You Like To Easily Lose 10 Lbs. in 15 Days?

2011-05-01T20:11:00.000-07:00

If you need to lose some weight, I'm assembling a new Web site that will help make weight loss easy, fun, and maybe even profitable. Would you mind if you made some money or won a prize or two while dropping pounds?

The new site is http://fatburningfuel.com and it is under construction currently, but I thought I would give you a heads up.

There will be lots of useful content on the site, free. Plus some unique info that I have seen no other diet program go into -- what you need to avoid that is keeping you stuck where you are, weight wise.

I am partnering with a healthy weight loss system that is letting folks eat the foods they love and still lose weight. All without hunger!

Just one little aspect of this system has helped me abolish food cravings and feel great while losing 20 pounds.

I am planning on running a contest, with some fun prizes -- and maybe even integrating a network marketing commission potential for those who like to make some real money.

If you're interested, get on my notification list, so you network marketers can be at the top of the binary pile when I turn the Internet traffic fountain on!

Can't Find A Job? Do This!

2011-02-15T10:45:00.000-08:00

What is the one product in greatest demand today? Apart from the usual necessities like food, shelter, and clothing -- and the frills that folks are still habitually buying -- the greatest need is, for many people globally, a way to earn a living.

Everywhere you look, except in some occupations I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, there are fewer job openings for quality jobs and more competition for what positions there are.

In a global economy that is instantly connected at the speed of light by the Internet, there's usually someone with a good education in a poor country who is willing to work for less than you.

His or her cost of living is much lower, so he or she gets the job. You don't.

People are trudging back to school, thinking that if they buy more education they will be able to get a good job when the economy picks up again.

Without going into a long, complex explanation, let me assure you there is no good reason the economies of the U.S., the UK, and many other nations will return to the pre-crash state of euphoria induced by the Housing Bubble, or before that, the DotCom Bubble.

Add to that the fact that many of us Baby Boomers are getting older and we would really like to start taking life easier, but the stock and real estate crash cut our retirement savings tremendously.

Now, a lot of Boomers are reluctantly accepting the fact that they will have to "work until they die". That's sad.

I have some good news for those who are willing to consider it.

Aside from going back to growing our own food on little farms and suburban homesteads and living on meager Social Security checks (until they run out!), there is an answer that can employ all who are willing to consider it.

It is Network Marketing or MLM.

What does it require? Is it hard physical work?

MLM is simply a less-expensive way of marketing products. Instead of buying millions of dollars worth of advertising, manufacturers let their customers promote their products to their friends, family, and strangers -- and pay them commissions on how much product they sell every month.

The cool thing is that -- in a well-chosen MLM company -- these are products you would be buying every month anyway, except the quality is better and the cost may even be less!

Another great thing about this form of business ownership is that, in some of these companies using a Binary compensation plan, other people are doing much of your work for you. It is a team effort, where a lot of people do a big job and they all share in the profits!

Thanks to common tools like the telephone and the 'Net, no one has to go door-to-door to find their customers. Many people resist the idea of Network Marketing and bad-mouth it because someone they met once had difficulty making it work. Smart people can see that if some people are making it work, they can too.

Ironically, in a bad economy, network marketing always picks up new recruits who, by necessity, figure it out and make it work for them. It just takes stepping outside the box of conventional job-based thinking.

As a former Chamber of Commerce Executive and consultant working for the U.S. Economic Development Administration -- and as an entrepreneur who has built successful businesses of my own -- I can tell you there is no better business opportunity than network marketing for the average person who is willing to work.

MLM/Network Marketing offers anyone the leverage of owning a large business without the hassle of hiring and managing employees.

Where else can you buy a business franchise for under a thousand dollars that can pay you more than a million dollar McDonald's franchise, with none of the headaches?

MLM is such a ridiculously good opportunity, someone who is used to working a "job", even as a professional with a lot of skill and training, may have a hard time believing what a God-send this is.

Faith that your efforts will be repaid many times over, is probably the biggest requirement for success in MLM.

Look at it this way: When you choose an established company to represent, if you bring them customers they will gladly pay you -- over and over again.

You just need to find someone to teach you a workable system to find a lot of customers for the company you choose! Take a look at some of the Attraction Marketing courses posted to the right of this blog post if you need some ideas.

CPA vs. MLM

2011-02-11T09:43:00.000-08:00

I've got something to say about CPA (click per action) marketing versus MLM (multi-level marketing) today. And I am pissed about the hypocritical attitude most people, especially the younger generation seem to have about network marketing.

It seems to be acceptable to sell bogus products, downright scams, and hyped-up make-money-on-the-'Net training to people we will never know through Clickbank and other online marketing sites.

On the other hand, offering people a REAL product that is better quality, and less expensive than the one they use now causes them to run the other way.

WHAT are they afraid of?

I've picked through ClickBank's offer and have yet to find anything with the solid science behind it that I could proudly offer to my friends and associates. All I have found, so far, is junk, like this top-earner: http://www.naturalnews.com/031280_acai_berries_scam.html

"1 Trick of a Tiny Belly" and penis enlargement pills are the number 1 and 2 best sellers on Clickbank. Can you believe it?

We can see the majority of Americans are stupid, but does that mean we should cynically make our living off relieving them of their money?

I am of the belief that "What goes around, comes around". The average person worldwide needs help to see better products to improve their health -- and ways to help them earn more money, legitimately.

So, I am mystified when people continue to believe that network marketing/MLM "doesn't work" and MLM is a scam.

I don't know about you, but I want to be surrounded with hard-working, top-achieving, intelligent people who know the facts about MLM and don't just repeat the same old hearsay about their second-cousin who failed in some poorly chosen MLM company years ago.

People fail at high school. People fail at selling real estate. Anyone who quits anything before they figure out how to succeed is apt to claim it is a scam so they put the blame on someone else.

That's all I have to say for now. If there are any winners reading this who want to learn more of the truth about the possibilities offered by the multi-level distribution model, I'd like to hear from you!

Real Estate Agents Take Note!

2011-01-25T13:21:00.000-08:00

It is a shame that many professional salespeople don't take MLM seriously. If you contact me, I can refer you to the profiles of several successful real estate sales pro's who have made the transition to network marketing, have made more money, and seem to enjoy it just as much.

I am writing this on the run, so pardon my lack of research and links to the articles from economic experts I follow that back up my claims.

The bottom line, from people who predicted this crash was coming -- not the fools in the administration and on Wall St. who had a hand in causing it -- is that there will be more losses, especially in commercial real estate.

Think about it: If a large number of Americans don't have jobs, how can malls and Big Box stores continue to rack up sales growth?

Waiting around for the good old days to return, of selling homes to anyone who could fog a mirror. Those days are over.

Oh sure, there may be specialized areas and market segments where sales are still possible, but in general there will be less activity and times will be lean for a looooooooooong time.

Now for the Good News!

You have skills that can easily be transferred to the profession of network marketing. Most of the public doesn't want anything to do with "selling". So, you have an advantage there.

More than that -- There is a LOT of money to be made legitimately in this business.

It is true there are a lot of MLM companies with overpriced products of questionable quality. But there are a lot more that offer higher quality products that need more explaining, as only a trained salesperson can do.

The key thing I want to convey is that MLM is not about going door to door selling shampoo or cell minutes.

It is about building a global team of salespeople who all do a moderate amount of work -- and you get paid a commission based on their production, just because you recruited a few of the ones who recruited a few...and so on.

Here's another neat thing about professional MLM: All these salespeople are adding to your bottom line, but you don't have to pay them! Isn't that cool?

There really is no limit to what you can earn in this business. Well, it's not Bill Gates type money, but 7 figure incomes are not unheard of for those who grasp the concept and run with it.

That's all I have time for today. Think about it.

Learn While You Earn

2010-12-19T06:14:00.000-08:00

The world economy is going through a wrenching transition. Most people are being misled by the propaganda put out by the various governments who are trying to convince everyone that "Things are returning to normal."

As a result, a lot of good people are sitting on their hands, hoping they don't lose their job before the recovery arrives. Others, with unemployment running out, have gone back to school to get more training in the occupations of the Old Economy.

Many young people, just out of high school or college can't even land their first job. They are back living at home or working for President Obama's job programs in Afghanistan and Iraq. Talk about occupational hazards!

I have a different view, based on more than fifty years in and around business -- and ten years specifically working on re-employing families in communities where the major employer had left the area.

I've thought a lot about re-employing the average person who may not have a lot of transferable skills beyond a willingness to show up on time and put his or her heart into doing the job at hand.

Of course, my searching led me to the one occupation that everyone could do...that paid extremely well for those who worked at it. An occupation that provided on-the-job training and let anyone earn as they learned.

Of course, I'm talking about MLM or Network Marketing

Unfortunately, few people out of the many I talk to have admitted to themselves (not yet, anyway) that The Old Economy is not coming back to life -- an economy based on everlasting growth, building and selling homes to those who could not afford them, and depending on a federal government that can't even balance their own budget for help in times of trouble.

The New Economy's first law is that "We are ALL self-employed."

If you're willing to live by that law, there is plenty of work to be done, helping others all over the world buy unique consumable products, combined with the opportunity to once again make a good living helping others to learn about these improved products and this opportunity.

This business, network marketing, is the growth industry of the 21st Century.

And here's a little secret: In a few well-chosen MLM companies, the products can save you money over what you buy every day in your retail stores!

The efficiencies of this revolutionary business model make it possible to provide a better-quality, less-expensive product delivered to your door for less that you pay at the store. So, there really is no reason for the youth of America to be sitting around paying to drink Red Bull or Monster energy drinks at $1.50-$3 apiece when they could be earning a growing income and drinking a healthier energy drink.

The same holds true for all the consumer items everyone is gaga about having: cellphone service, skincare products, weight loss aids, you name it. Why spend your precious money for brands that aren't willing to cut you in on their profits?

Americans need to stop looking at the world through the eyes of "employees", and start seeing the opportunity that lies in self-employment.

Ironically, the world outside the USA is wide-open to the idea that our financial salvation lies in building chains of distribution for well-run network marketing companies.

In a way, we're talking about returning to an American tradition that has been packaged for export to a world hungry for the blessings of free enterprise.

Network marketing, at its core, is the American Way -- the American Dream -- packaged for sale to hungry entrepreneurs here and all over the globe.

Network marketing is an American invention and we should be proud to share it with the world.

We offer an Opportunity to build a better life through introducing others to a way to achieve their dreams. It is an opportunity to help others build their dream, which helps us realize ours.

It's happening right now on FaceBook, on the Internet, and in homes throughout the world. How big a piece of it would you like to claim?

Rejection-Free Network Marketing

2010-12-05T16:37:00.000-08:00

Network marketing has changed, in case you haven't heard. No longer are you expected to tell everyone and their brother-in-law about your new business. In fact, it's better if you don't.

It is so much more efficient when you can drop hints about your marketing activities around the 'Net in places where interested people will see them...and call you when they're ready.

This eliminates the unpleasant, uncomfortable scenes that occur at Christmas dinner when you force yourself to approach Uncle Joe and Aunt Erma to ask if they'd ever wanted to start their own home-based business.

This new style of network marketing, developed by Mike Dillard, uses the power of the Internet to let those who are looking for what you offer, find and contact you. This puts you in a much more comfortable position of simply asking prospects questions and answering theirs.

This new school of network marketing, called Attraction Marketing, removes the need to sell your business opportunity to your friends and family. No more trying to push your products and business on people with no interest in it.

In addition to removing one of the things most people hate about network marketing, attraction marketing implements a couple of other innovative marketing techniques that are a marked improvement over Old-School MLM.

1) Attraction Marketing puts YOU in possession of your MLM business, not your company. It does this by helping you build a list of those who are interested in network marketing and...

2) It offers valuable training materials to all your visitors -- 95% of whom will never join your company -- and this helps you pay for the ongoing expense of prospecting.

Mike Dillard's company, Magnetic Sponsoring, has truly revolutionized this business by automating so much of the time-consuming process of marketing -- of sifting and sorting through thousands of prospects to find the ideal ones for your business. It combines the best features of MLM with the advances made possible by Internet marketing, to give you the best of both worlds.

There's a lot more that could be said about Magnetic Sponsoring and all the good FREE training they offer just for taking a peek. Check them out -- Their ad is to the right of this post.

Oh yeah, and you can get all this value for one ridiculously low one-time price.

Simple Truths About MLM

2010-09-30T05:24:00.000-07:00

Network marketing or MLM, as it is sometimes called, has so much potential for so many people, but we need to clear up some misunderstanding that have given it a black eye. By simply focusing on what network marketing really is -- not what your uncle or your coworkers say it is -- you can make it work for you.

Okay, where should I start? How about with a Definition of what MLM is?

* Network marketing is a system for distributing various products, leaving the marketing function up to individuals (distributors) who are paid commissions and bonuses based on how much product sales they are responsible for.

* Network marketing removes a lot of inefficiencies and expenses in the process of distributing products from the manufacturer to the end user. This frees up large sums which are paid by most corporations to professional sales staffs, advertising agencies, warehousers, rack jobbers, and the profit margins of 50-100% typically required by retail outlets like WalMart, GNC, etc.

* By saving millions of dollars on all the above functions, MLM companies can afford to pay those savings out in commissions to multiple levels of sales associates. So, the average Jane or Joe earn much more than they could earn in almost any other occupation IF they know what they are doing, work at it, and enlist many others to help them.

Sounds great, doesn't it? Well, in principle it is, but there are many preventable mistakes and misconceptions that can get in the way of a new distributor's success. Let's consider just a few of those:

* Perhaps the biggest mental hurdle is the notion that MLM does not require work. Unfortunately, it is frequently promoted by less-than-ethical recruiters and companies in this way. Face it, folks: Work is at the heart of the name Net-WORK-Marketing! You are not buying a guaranteed winning Lottery ticket; you are buying what is essentially a franchise, but for a bargain price. You must figure out many things to make that franchise successful and only then will you get paid.

* Choosing the wrong company. Many network marketing companies go out of business for many of the same reasons most business start-ups fail: they are undercapitalized, they don't have an experienced management team, they choose the wrong product to market. The wisest course is to research the company you are considering, just as you would research any major investment. Go visit with the founders, if possible. Look at the financial records. If nothing else, read every legitimate 3rd-party report on the company and its products.

One of the easiest safety criteria is to never join a company that is less than five years old. That gives the company time to work out any bugs before you invest your time and money into building a business based on their ability to hold up their end of the deal.

Read the book How To Choose A Network Marketing Company, advertised over to the right of this post. That will give you a good foundation for comparing companies, hot products, compensation plans, etc.

* This last point is really important: You will need education in state-of-the-art marketing -- and most likely, you're going to need to find this on your own. This is an area most MLM companies are still in the Dark Ages about.

The best system I have found that explains everything from the mental attitude you will need to actually providing you with a free turnkey software package is called Magnetic Sponsoring, by Mike Dillard. It will show you how the Top Dogs got to the top in this business -- and, conversely, why the little people frequently get wiped out. If you want to succeed in this phenomenal business, you need to get this inexpensive, brilliantly written, package of education and tools.

There are many imitators, but Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring is the original. With this information and funded-proposal recruiting system, Mike went from waiting tables in his mid-twenties to earning a 7-figure-income in 18 months! Click on the Magnetic Sponsoring banner to the right of this post to get your copy.

And, yes, I will be compensated by Mike Dillard if you buy any of his products. I am grateful to the person who brought this dandy little book to my attention, so I'm thinking you will be, too.

What's Your Backup Plan?

2010-09-28T05:32:00.000-07:00

The newspapers are telling us the Great Recession is over. They say it ended a year ago! What do you think?

Judging by all the Community Garage Sale signs I see, it doesn't look like it from where I sit. I think the public has just not accepted the fact that our U.S. economy has fundamentally changed. Many of the jobs available during the Housing and Financial Boom are never coming back.

I have made my living by being an entrepreneur most of my life. That means I had to accurately predict what businesses would succeed in the future, when I decided where to invest my time and money. An entrepreneur, to be successful, needs to be good at predicting where the future is heading. I've done well over the course of the 40+ years I've been choosing businesses.

Assuming you have a good job now, having a back-up plan is a very smart idea. As it dawns on the public that the economy is not going to suddenly take wings and begin to prosper again, we're going to see more jobs eliminated.

It wouldn't hurt -- and actually, it would be a smart move -- to create a back-up plan, a part-time second income source you can fall back on if anything happens to your regular income source.

Network Marketing is the ideal business model for this purpose. But learning the new rules of MLM are critical if you don't want to go out and do the old-fashioned routine of talking to everyone you know about your new business venture.

There is a time to talk to the people you know about your business, but it's best to get some success and knowledge under your belt before you do.

MLM Is the Business for the 21st Century

2010-06-03T07:04:00.000-07:00

Author Robert Kiyosaki has some bad news and some good news for us. The bad news is the old economy is NOT coming back. The USA and much of the world economy is in a Depression (no matter what the stock market and the manipulated news media tell us).

The good news is that MLM or network marketing in selected companies is doing quite well. MLM offers an unlimited opportunity to those who are willing to use their products and find others to do the same.

Network marketing has been defined as "a lot of people doing a few simple activities every day for a long period of time." Instead of jumping from opportunity to opportunity, the long-term slow and steady approach builds -- if you ally yourself with the right team -- a phenomenal income from the compounded actions of many people besides yourself. It offers you leverage without employees or a large investment.

As best-selling author Kiyosaki says, it is the ideal business for the 21st century. It doesn't take a lot of money, or good looks, or a college education to participate. What success in this business requires is a burning desire to better your situation and the willingness to learn and do what is needed to produce results.

Help People Lose Weight

2009-04-22T16:38:00.000-07:00

Weight loss is a $50 billion dollar industry. Would you like a piece of it for helping others find the rare weightloss aids that actually work?

A very useful book to help you understand the reasons why Americans spend more for healthcare than any other country per capita and still are one of the least healthy nations is "The New Wellness Revolution" by Paul Zane Pilzer.

Pilzer doesn't pull any punches when he explains how the processed food industry is mainly concerned with maximizing their profits by creating foods that are addictively enjoyable. The last thing on their minds is our health.

The medical industry is in a similar profit-seeking mode. Rather than simply counseling patients on scientific ways to lose weight, they make their money by pushing bariatric surgery and drugs to control the symptoms of our raging insulin-insensitivity.

So, we've got two major industries working synergistically to make us fat and then make us pay to remove it in the most expensive ways possible!

This creates a big opportunity for those who distribute natural weight loss aids, based on herbs, vitamins, and mineral co-factors. These products, coupled with some basic education about which foods are helpful in losing weight, are the simple inexpensive ways to solve a gargantuan problem that nobody else is effectively dealing with.

If you would like to explore the opportunity to help thousands of others while enjoying a relaxed lifestyle of health and time freedom, reading Pilzer's book is a good place to start.

Contact me if you have questions about finding effective weight loss aids that pay commissions for those who refer new customers: kemppaul60@yahoo.com/

It's Later Than You Think

2009-04-14T16:17:00.000-07:00

I've been reviewing the U.S. jobless figures and, contrary to the weak rally in the stock market, the economy is not getting better, it's just taking a breather before continuing its descent.

I've also been going over the Concord Coalition's analysis of when Social Security will begin to pay out more than it takes in from payroll taxes: 2017. By that time, who knows how much more debt will have been added... or should I say, subtracted from what the U.S. has from which to pay retiring Baby Boomers.

Whether you are one of the young workers who will asked to pay more taxes or you're about to retire with less income than you need to be comfortable, I would urge you to read the ebook to the right of this post.

If you've got questions about Network Marketing, you need to learn the truth about what it can do for you. Don't accept hearsay from people who have tried networking and quit -- there are many reasons why they didn't find success.

* Maybe they didn't work at it like a business

* Maybe they had unrealistic expectations (It requires work; it's not a lottery ticket.)

* Maybe they chose the wrong company, or a product with little marketability

* Most likely, they didn't know the methods of "Attraction Marketing" described in this book

"If You Don't Have A Homebased Business, Start One!"

2009-04-03T12:41:00.000-07:00

There are substantial tax benefits to owning a homebased business. Here's a link to an article by Sandy Botkin, an attorney and CPA, about those benefits: https://www.taxreductioninstitute.com/article.asp?specific=10

Now that we're coming up on Tax Time is a good time to think about how much you could SAVE by operating a homebased business, even if you don't earn a profit.

I have negotiated a 10% discount for my readers on the purchase of any of Sandy's products. Simply mention that you heard about Sandy from me - Paul Kemp - and mention the coupon word "Savings" to enjoy this discount.

Running an efficient business by using Sandy Botkin's professional advice will quickly save you far more than it will cost.

Remember what they say: If you think education is expensive, you should try ignorance!

What To Look For in MLM Biz Opportunity

2009-03-19T17:59:00.000-07:00

Here are some criteria I would use to judge which MLM business opportunities will succeed in today's depressed economy, where consumers tightly clutch their dollars:

Is the company solid, well-capitalized, profitable, and led by experienced businesspeople?

Has it been in business more than five years?

Are similar products already being bought and included in most Americans' budgets?

Are the products necessary or could they be dispensed with if money gets tighter?

Are the products better than store-bought alternatives at a competitive price?

Is it fairly easy to earn commissions for recommending the products and/or opportunity to others?

I have been doing Alexa.com research to see if Web searchers are checking out various big name MLM/network marketing opportunities. Many are up 10-30%.

I'd suggest you plug in any company you are considering joining, to see how the market is responding to them. Just go to www.Alexa.com/and type in the Web site of the company you are in or are considering.

But I Love Network Marketing!

2009-03-11T16:07:00.000-07:00

Some oldschool networkers take a quick glance at this site and think I'm down on Network Marketing. They're soooo wrong.

I just don't like the antiquated system of marketing still in use by many networkers that has produced a 97% failure rate for new distributors.

When that many people fail at something - and many of those give it a good effort - it should tell MLM companies and the top distributors that something is wrong with their marketing methods.

Well, somebody finally figured it out and wrote "The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing", telling what the problem is and how to correct it.

It's funny that oldstyle distributors are taking offense at the book's title. They probably haven't read the book so they don't know it contains the best news this industry has had for fifty years!

A lot of people could benefit from network marketing right now. They are out of work and looking for a way to pay their bills.

I want to let them know that Network Marketing can be their income solution IF they learn and use a modernized online system of Attraction Marketing instead of the old, stupid method of telling all your friends about your great new thing and inviting them to a hotel meeting or conference call.

Get Real!

Read the Book and learn how to make this business work for you.

What Is MLM 4 Freedom?

2009-03-05T15:32:00.000-08:00

MLM, or multilevel marketing, is the most evolved form of compensating an independent sales force. It is fair to the parent company, which only pays for results - sales.

It is fair to the salesperson, who gets paid not only on their own personal sales of products, but also receives a commission on the sales of other salspeople they recruit for the company, and the salespeople THEY recruit, and so on.

If the individual is good at it, MLM can be very lucrative. You may have heard.

MLM, or network marketing, has been around for about sixty years. Like any frontier of human commerce, there have been good citizens and there have been a few outlaws among the MLM community.

Before entering into any business transaction, you need to know the history of the company, the founders, and read the fine print of the contract you sign. Do your research ( I will provide resources on this site to help you, without trying to steer you in any direction).

The major impediment to success for the many people who try MLM as a way to earn some extra income is the way that it has been presented: that anyone can make a lot of money without much training or skills and all by telling everyone they meet about their products and opportunity.

This has caused a lot of failure among those who came to this business model looking for a realistic business opportunity. They failed even though they worked hard and followed the directions of successful distributors and corporate officers.

Well, the truth is out: These successful distributors were using a whole different method of recruiting than what they told the newbies to use! And they did it right before our eyes!

The good news is that the opportunity is still there and by taking a fresh, honest look at the training and what is necessary to succeed, aided by the miracle of inexpensive communication made possible by the Internet, the promise of financial freedom is now being realized for many who have read this book:
http://PHK.the7greatliesofnetworkmarketing.com

This blog is dedicated to spreading the good news that there is still one industry in America that pays very well - and they are growing!

I call this blog MLM for Freedom for many reasons. Here are some of them:

You are free to work at home, when you develop a successful MLM business.

You are free to raise your kids yourself (not put them in daycare), when you make MLM your business.

As a successful network marketer, you are free to travel the world to build your business and have fun, mixing work with play.

This short ebook http://PHK.the7greatliesofnetworkmarketing.com will give you an idea of how the business can be run professionally and efficiently, again yielding the freedom that MLM promises.

This career is not for everyone, contrary to some of the recruiting pitches used for years by the unprincipled Top Dogs of the industry. This is not a lottery. In the real world, no one is likely to get rich without work and study of their business.

Reading this book will clear up what IS required for success in network marketing. It will clear up the common misconception that "only the people at the top make any serious money".

The sooner Americans understand the potential and the responsibilities of those who choose this profession, the sooner they can free their personal household economy from the doldrums that have ensnared our national economy.

Network Marketing is growing vigorously as we enter this new Depression

It would be a pity if capable, intelligent individuals turned up their nose at network marketing without finding out what it really is - and what is possible using the Internet to find customers and prospective business partners.

Over the next few weeks, I will bring you books and articles to back up what I'm saying here. For now, I simply want to sound the alert and let you know you're on the right track in looking at network marketing/MLM as a long term solution to our common financial plight.

There is little danger of MLM becoming overcrowded. There are no exclusive sales territories and most reputable MLM companies are set up to promote their opportunity and products internationally.

There is a revolution going on quietly in the world economy. My aim in constructing this site is to help it along - to distribute the truth about how MLM/network marketing can be the answer to the prayers of millions of people worldwide for economic freedom.

All I can say beyond this is, "Read the book. This smart lady explains what networkers have been doing wrong and how to correct that. She has made MLM work in a big way and is helping many to enjoy the ultimate freedom MLM offers."

The Revolution In MLM/Network Marketing

2009-03-03T16:07:00.000-08:00

For all those struggling MLM-faithful who have tried - honestly tried - to make this crazy business work the way our companies and top leaders told us, there is finally an answer.

We could feel that it was uncomfortable, going around telling our friends, family, and calling strangers on the phone about our great new opportunity, but we didn't know what else to do.

Oh, we tried advertising classifieds, FFA listings, "pre-qualified leads", genealogy leads, postcards and other direct mail, but none of it got the momentum going - and, more importantly, it wasn't duplicatable by the average person we did manage to recruit.

After all, you will want someplace to go for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and no one wants to become a member of the NFL (No Friends Left) club. So, somehow, networking never has produced the results the ads and our upline promised.

I never figured it out completely, though I sensed there was some advantage the top distributors had, but I couldn't put my finger on it until I read this ebook.
http://PHK.the7greatliesofnetworkmarketing.com

It's FREE and I want you to have it, because I know you want to make your business work.

I've put together all the best generic, lowcost resources for you or any network marketer to grab a piece of this exciting new teritory called Attraction Marketing.

This short ebook, The 7 Great Lies of Network Marketing, explains what we've been doing wrong all along. Most of us didn't quite connect the fact that our mega-successful upline was doing something entirely different than what they told us to do.

And THAT's why they were experiencing success - and could afford to prospect widely - and we were living with painful failure until we couldn't stand it any more and dropped out.

No Better Time To Be In MLM/Network Marketing

I do a lot of reading about what's going on in our economy. Not the fluff and official propaganda in the newspapers and on TV, but the real in-depth stuff from economists and very successful businesspeople with a twenty+ year track record of being right.

People like Robert Kiyosaki, Bill Bonner, Donald Trump, and Congressman Ron Paul, to name just a few.

What I'm finding out is that MLM/Network Marketing is the business to be in as millions of people worldwide are searching for a stable source of income to feed their families and provide for their retirement.

Masses of people in countries around the Web are looking to create a home based leveraged income that THEY control, not controlled by some impersonal mega-corporation that throws its best people overboard to save the perks of their wealthy management.

Will these people be able to find you and choose to join your network marketing business? A replicated company-provided Web site is not going to make you stand out. The search ngines ignore them completely!

Not every company will prosper if their products are over-priced in a tight money environment.

Offering a product line with real value to the consumer is more important than ever.

And only those distributors who pick up on the revolutionary new secrets exposed in this eye-opening little book will be in a position to prosper from the explosion of interest in MLM/network marketing as THE homebased business to have.

Check it out and see if you agree. I'll be posting more value-priced or free resources here in the near future.

I welcome your comments.
