Well, I have finally set up my own blog. Having worked with MLM for the past 10 years and the internet for 8 of those years, I have come to realise there are many challenges facing us as time moves forward.
No longer is it acceptable to knock on doors, and I now see the home shopping people leaving their catalogues on the doorstep and hoping you will look at them and purchase something. Vacuum cleaners are sold in stores only and encyclopedias are now an on line experience! The world has changed.
Despite all of this, most MLM leaders including my upline still recommend the same method of building a business. Hand out CDs or DVDs, get someone to look at it, and ask the right quesions. Then get them to a meeting. Keep going until you find the right people! The challenge with this approach is taht you are also virtually coeerced into a monthly autoship to get those promised commissions. I suspect that most of you quit before you ever get going due to a dwindling bank account.
I took a different approach from the start. When I say that, I sat and looked at my garage full of product for 2 months. I still have some of the original MLM product in the garage after 10 years! It was good, but difficult to market. After 2 months of talking to relatives and firends, I realised that soon I wouldn’t have any! The strategy clearly wasn’t working.
I had just completed a marketing degree, and a small business managment course, so I decided to put my skills to work. First I organised an expo and got my upline sponsor to lecture to groups of people. We started with 4 or 5 at that first event and grew from there. One of those people is still active after all those years. She was the first I ever sponsored!
From there I tried all sorts of marketing ideas. Some were successful and some were a total failure. Over the last 10 years this has led to 3 organisations of over 1,000 people. Each brings in a sizeable monthly cheque and altogether I have a good 6 figure income. I don’t consider myself flashy and I don’t have a fast car. I try to get away from groundless hype and stick to facts.
There is so much I have learned about marketing and the internet and I am getting ready to tell the world! The project is under wraps at the moment, but it will give ordinary people the means to make a profit in any MLM fast. Long term you can introduce others to the system and see your organisation blossom. I will be posting some articles up in the near future shring some of my philosophies. The launch will come when everything is systemitised so you can follow it. Despite what everyone says success on the internet is quite complex and the methods need to be taught step by step or you could become internet or MLM road kill as so many others have!
If you want a taste of what I am talking about go to http://www.detoxzeolite.com/zeolite.htm and fill in the form. You can see how I operate. Write some comments here on what you think of my work. I would appreciate that.
Until the next installment
