When it comes to starting an MLM business, some say avoid older companies that are past the “momentum stage” and go with a newer company in “pre-launch”.
Certain topics seem to encourage a lot of discussion and debate. This is one of them.
Here are two related viewpoints. What do you think?
This is the first view I’ll address – let’s call it:
MLM Failure Rate and Industry Reputation
“This is the truth – MLM companies start up and go out of business every month. This is one reason why this industry has such a bad reputation. This could also be a reason why it is hard to attract new people to such business opportunities. It’s challenging enough achieving success in MLM type businesses without wondering whether they’ll still be going in a year.”
This is my take on it…
I agree with this. Our industry does have a poor reputation in this area, because of the “start-fail” cycle repeating so often. Some good companies start out with strong credentials, but are unable to make the cut and fold within a year or two. This can happen for many reasons.
Believe it or not, some MLM start up companies fail because they grow too fast and can’t cope with the demand for their products or services. Others fail due to poor management decisions and lack of leadership from the top.
That said, it’s important to note that many MLM companies that come and go quickly are not true, legitimate opportunities to begin with. Some are illegal pyramid schemes passed off as legitimate MLM or network marketing opportunities to make them seem “okay”. Unfortunately, this casts a poor light on the genuine opportunities.
That said, we also know that legitimate MLM start ups have gone belly up. Folks with dreams and good intentions have been burned. Keeping this in mind, let’s examine another popular view that we see discussed a lot.
Let’s call this one:
Best Chance to Make Money in MLM
“If your goal is to earn a large income then joining a network marketing company which has been around for ten, fifteen, or more years may not be a good option. Although these are good and stable companies, they are mature and have already underwent their biggest growth boom. It would be hard to earn a large income with such a company.”
Here’s what I think…
There are two sides to this. Many home business builders seeking to make big money like the thrill of getting in on the “ground floor” of a hot new opportunity. The thrill is somewhat like the rush of taking $500.00 to a casino with the hope of leaving with $10,000 for a night of gambling. There is always a strong draw toward the excitement and sense of anticipation that surrounds a hot new opportunity.
Now consider the boring old MLM company that has been around for years. It’s still a good opportunity, with people signing up daily and going on to make good money. Demonstrating a pattern of success and viability, but without all the glamor. So what’s the deal?
The difference is in the risk.
Assume you want to make $20,000 with your business this year. You have a choice – you can go with Hot New MLM Opportunity A, or Boring Old MLM Company B. If you get out and hustle, you can earn that money with either one.
Let’s say you earned that money in Hot New MLM Opportunity A in six months. You’re on the road to wealth. A year up the road, the company (being new and relatively untested) begins to experience some unforeseen issues. Checks are going out late. The future starts to look uncertain.
In Boring Old MLM Company B, you get out and work hard to earn that $20,000, but it takes a year instead of six months! One year up the road, the company is entering its twelfth year. The company has been tested by time and passed. Your earnings continue to increase and your business grows. Your income may not grow as fast or as big as it could the first year with Hot New MLM Opportunity A. It will, however, continue to grow and produce a nice steady residual income for years.
Going down one path, you are taking significant risk and hoping for a bigger payout. You’re also expecting to make significantly more money over the long haul because you “got in early”.
Take another path, and your income may build more slowly. You may not make as much money as quickly going this route, but you have a proven and dependable opportunity. You can feel reasonably assured that what you do make won’t suddenly go away one day.
Which is your choice?

Finding quality MLM prospects can be extremely difficult and converting these prospects to recruits for your MLM opportunity can be even more difficult. Many people are often skeptical and hesitant because they are aware of the large number of scams on the internet.
The good news is that with the current economy the way it is, there are many people looking for ways to earn extra income by starting a home-based business.
There are many opportunities to find prospects and those who are the most successful in network or multilevel marketing are those who find those prospects while keeping costs down.
Introducing the funded proposal.
The funded proposal is one of the most effective tools for network marketers to use to find quality MLM prospects while keeping costs down.
The funded proposal is simply a lead generation system that turns prospects into committed customers and/or recruits by first selling them an inexpensive product on the front end and then using that product to educate, build a working relationship with, and sell the customer on the MLM opportunity.
In the network marketing industry, the most common front end products to use are an informational product or an e-book. These products can be produced inexpensively and once created are sold for pure profit. By selling an informational product (funded proposal) on the front end, the network marketer is able to have prospects cover his or her marketing costs. So essentially, the funded proposal helps the network marketer generate new prospects for free.
The funded proposal is a very powerful marketing strategy for targeting those already involved with an MLM opportunity who are not having any success with their current company.
An informational product that is tied to how to be more successful in network marketing or how to find quality MLM prospects is popular among funded proposals because this is one of the most difficult problems facing network marketers.
Selling these prospects on how to be successful in their current MLM business is much easier than selling them on the idea of signing up with a new MLM company. They are more willing to pay a low price for an informational product to help them be more successful.
Once they have purchased the informational product, you can start building a relationship with them through auto-responder campaigns and phone calls. You build trust and gain respect from your prospects which results in them being more open to another MLM opportunity if they are unhappy with the current company they’re involved with.
The funded proposal is your ticket to unlimited quality MLM prospects who already understand and are involved in the network marketing industry.

Are your kind offers of help to generate MLM leads and MLM training in general falling on deaf ears?
You know, having a lazy downline used to be the quickest route to grey hair and stomach complaints known to the MLM community. I remember taking some of the world’s least motivated MLM downline builders to hotel meetings and major functions. They used to duck behind a pillar after five minutes, petrified I’d introduce them to anyone successful.
Usually they were outside (in all weathers) with the smokers, even those that didn’t smoke. Obviously they preferred the atmosphere of stale tobacco to the sound of motivated and committed upline telling them they could be successful!
But a lot has changed since then. For one thing, MLM training is not so dominated by huge get-togethers, with a sizeable ‘cajoled’ contingent. Some of the world’s biggest MLM downline builders generate MLM leads online in such numbers that it is this type of MLM training that is in higher demand rather than tips on how to successfully hand out a DVD to ‘Nigel from Accounts’.
Another past problem with lazy downline members was the fact that their laziness would duplicate downwards. So as we tried to create an ‘on-message’ group of enthusiastic MLM downline builders under these individuals, the apathy would dilute anything we said to them. As the new people would be friends of our lazy downline, our positive influence would be drastically diluted.
It seems crazy today that some of us allowed lazy downline members to sap our enthusiasm to such an extent. Maybe you remember that feeling of leaving a large gathering full of revved and motivated distributors and thinking ‘I wish my own group had even one percent of that’.
Yes, in the old days, trying to crowbar MLM training tools into the hands of our lazy downline wasted so much time, it wasn’t even funny. I was expecting people to generate MLM leads when it wasn’t even certain they were generating a pulse.
Another thing lazy downline members would never dream of doing was retailing products. Some would give me a look that would strip paint. The notion of actually doing something was the element of the MLM training that met with the most dogged resistance!
Any attempts by me to generate MLM leads ‘under’ my lazy downline where also sabotaged. Maybe they were supreme MLM downline builders ‘in the rough’. But there’s rough and rough, isn’t there. It was all so much hard work for which there was no reward. I’m getting welled up here!
But these days lazy downline members are not going to hasten our ageing process and make us question what on earth made us think we could ever be succesful MLM downline builders. Even more than that, they can be precisely the kind of distributors we do want on board! Eh?
It’s true. It’s not an uncommon human failing to want the rewards of a large independent income stream such as the big-hitting MLM downline builders enjoy whilst doing next to nothing to attain it. In days gone by we’d say something trite to them like ‘the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.’
But now, it is possible to generate MLM leads, leveraging off a lazy downline, giving you and them exactly what they want. Sure it might cost them a little of their cash, but for a lazy downline the idea of having negligible work to do and zero rejection to face is very seductive. Why not give them that? They may become ambitious over time. but their unwillingness to ‘buy in’ on faith at the outset no longer means there’s no role for the lazy in your success. Bring them in!
They may never generate MLM leads for themselves and never really become MLM downline builders, but contrary to what outdated MLM training would have us believe in the past, a lazy downline can contribute hugely to your success and let’s face it, that opens up one enormous market!

O The battle MLM Marketing vs affiliate marketing
The battle between MLM Marketing versus affiliate marketing begins
Affiliate marketing is easy to start with. We look for products which are hot on the net and new. We market the products, and the site, and collect the cheques.
Though all this sounds good it’s not that simple. You have to find a winning product, know if they are a reputable company. And also make sure that you are one of the first to market this product.
With affiliate marketing you also only have a two-tier commission based system. This means if you refer a web site – you will earn a small percentage of that web sites earnings, however, you won’t earn any money from the people that he or she refers. Even if he or she finds ten people to join as affiliates you won’t even earn 1 cent!
Where affiliate marketing is limited, MLM Marketing comes in powerful overdrive. MLM Marketing allows us the ability to create massive wealth passively.
With MLM Marketing a system is laid out in front of you, giving you the ability to plug into a ready made home business. You get training allowing you to become a master Internet marketer. You get already made web site, the products and you can plug into a money making system right away.
Whereas affiliate marketing only pays two tier, MLM Marketing allows you to get paid however many people join. In the affiliate marketing example those ten people in your top MLM Marketing home business would have meant the potential for serious earnings on the internet. And the best part with MLM Marketing is that once you make the effort, you will still be earning months and months later. You can start in MLM Marketing all for the price of a cup of coffee usually.
So there you have it the battle between affiliate marketing and MLM Marketing is over. MLM Marketing can be a great way to earn money from home for beginners and experienced Internet marketers. Affiliate marketing can be good for seasoned Internet marketers who already know how to make money on the internet.
Till then…
