Well my name is jean and to tell you the truth i have always hated those things because not only acquiring potential prospects is a pain but the amount of work outweighs the pay until a good friend referred one to me that not only work and pays but changes the rules that we are all accustomed to.This brand new paypal safe system is called Ashmax you may go on youtube and type in "what is Ashmax" and select the 4th video it should be a slide by slide powerpoint presentation. now you are welcome to do all the scam searches you want i did too so if its something that you would like to join i will be glad to be your sponsor & personally walk you through each & every step through comments or any other ways outside Digital point because i m a real person. see you on the other side.
I never get involved with MLM. I cannot tell you for certain that there is no way it can ever work for anyone. But MLM is at root a pyramid scheme. The founders always make money. Those who enter later find there just are not as many people interested to build downlines. All the while, the MLM organization is charging it members fees for enrollment, training, samples, etc. So they make money whether or not you ever do. Again, this is a generalization, and I have no way of knowing whether there are actually some good MLM opportunities in the world. I just know the basic structure is set up to make the founders a lot of money, and it is difficult for people coming in later to do the same.
Multi level marketing will work as long as there are people out there who want to get rich fast without first having to acquire any skill/talent. It will die when the gambling industry dies. But that doesn't mean its a great investment of your time.
You become successful in MLM if you have a passion in it you must ready to answer and face all the criticism that your prospect might be thrown to you. If you are hard worker and eventually get the support from your lower level then success is just a meter away from you.
I am actually involved in MLM and making money out if it, but I know that 97% of people don't - thats a pretty scary statistic! I think it depends on the opportunitiy, the products, the time you enter and of course your ability to sell.
Aren't pyramid schemes illegal? And I guess paypal doesn't allow to accept payment from pyramid schemes or even cash gifting sites.
Hello thank you guys for your replies lots of companies use the MLM technique to market their products like insurance companies & others with tangible products but they just do so in a more subtle way. the system that i m using works and yes paypal is one of the payout options don't you think if marketers were not getting paid for their hard work that they would go to paypal and complain??? now lets get to the meat of the subject the system that i m using is called Ashmax its genius, what Ashmax does is it is merely a vehicle that channel prospects to 2 already well establish companies GDI -Global Domain international (handles website domain names) & FTS-Freeway to Success ( they have lots of products but they are one of the leaders in providing large discounts at restaurants and pharmacies). marketers have tried to join GDI before but they have failed horribly do you know why?? its because the marketer "Alone" is responsible to build his downline and getting just 1 person to join is a pain much less 1000s in order to achieve the desired pay. This is where Ashmax comes it was launch in july 2010 what it brings to the table is its 5x5 matrix that means you only have to refer 5 people but not just any 5 people but 5 that will each go out and look for their 5 it doesn't stop there there is a spill over effect where if have your 5 people and decide to get an extra 10 people those 10 people will fall under you to the people who may have dropped or for any reason could not complete their 5 so its people helping people. Ashmax is free to join but you have to have a sponsor that means you have to join under an existing member i can be that person, once you join ashmax you have 5 or 7 days i think to join GDI which cost 10bucks for the first month and 5 bucks for every month after and FTS which will cost 15bucks and per month so the total comes down a $25 commitment here is the warning after you sign up you have 20days to get your first 5 people or you will be booted from the program because its only for serious people. if you are interested and want me to be your sponsor e-mail me at r9jean at gmail to obtain my ashmax sponsor link and i will personally help you & prove to you that some of these things do work.
I have been involed in network marketing for years, thats why I'm with the company I am with now providing a new approch to getting leads to network marketers or any marketer to help build any business. There are alot of good MLM companies out there with really good compansation plans, and good tools like banners, capture pages, etc... but the main reason alot of individuals don't make it in network marketing is, because they don't have IM, sales, or marketing experince in general, nor do they have the time, money and patience to see what works and what doesn't work with bringing people in to their MLM business or opportunity. There are 3 types of people who join MLM or any type of income opportunity program. The first type of person, joins the program as they might have gotten caught up in the companies hype of how much money they are going to make, and they show them pics of exotic cars, big houses, and a great life style. Well these individuals do little to nothing with it, and then they drop out, bad mouth the company and say it doesn't work . The second type of person hangs in there a little longer, tries different things to bring people in, but they still don't have the time, experince and money to stay with the company, so they eventually drop out. The third type of person is in it for the long haul. This person has the time and money to invest to learn what works and what doesn't and are patient, which it could take them a year or longer before they start to make headway and make in income from their MLM comapny or income opportunity. This is the type of person everyone wants to have under them in their business.
There are reputable and also downright illegal MLM companies out there. It will depend on when and who you know if you make money or not with them. Only a few people make the "real" money in MLM. The others are no better than slaves. Thanks to the internet, it has become much easier to make money using the "direct marketing" MLM method. Automating the process revolutionized it. If you are not already in the top tiers of a MLM company, do yourself a favor and do something else. You are not doing anything different than if you were working at the local McDonalds. But those at the top make you think you can get to where they are.
i think the MLM company i am with is an decent company i googled my butt off to see if it wasnt a scam i could not find anything negative PM if you want to know more about this company
There is nothing good in MLM, except you are the founder. MLM is a virus and if you can't be catching, you won't succeed in it. The worst thing in it that it's only one way road. If you're in and you'd like to make money - there is no way out. You should work. Because if you'll quit - you loose your money and time. If it was free it's ok, you can check it out and if you don't like you quit. But they wont teach you for free. You should buy this program and then they will. That's how this system works.
For me MLM is that you have to pay a fee to become a customer. First you have to enroll, pay a fee and become an associate and of course you have to buy the product. Then, you have to bother all your friend and family. I was involved with ACN. I was pretty excited about the video phone. I shortly realized that I was the only one. I am not very excited by MLM anymore. It would have been more interesting for me to get out there and sell the product, but they didn't allow that. The job was to recruit people to become associate and then sell one video phone and then teach this person to do the same. The fees were quite high, the phone came with a one year contract, at the end I realized that the only one making good money were the founder of ACN. Very intelligent guy, no more MLM for me.
MLM is more or less like a job you have to follow their guidelines or else they will remove you as a distributor.A friend of mine had asked me to join amway so had taken a look at the business proposal. Quite frankly there is no passive income in mlm business.When you are starting out you have to constantly meet people and ask them to join you and when a lot of people have joined you you still need to work.You have to train them so that they do not loose their motivation and leave.Its a total waste of time even the payout is not very great considering the prices of the products and the services. If you are broke and do not mind talking to people and working for like 12-15 hours a day then its good otherwise there are better opportunities.
I know people have the image that the MLM industry is like that and some companies are, personally I am having great success with an MLM company that pays on both retail sales and joining people up. Their products really are good and network marketing is simply an alternative distribution method for the company.
I would have to agree with itsallwhite, that this is the image of all MLM and Network Marketing companies... Now I will admit, for every good MLM/Network Marketing company out there, theres probably 2 bad ones. But also its the individuals themselfs that join these programs who do nothing with them, quit and bad mouth the companies up and down that over the years has drawn this bad image. Of course though I once again I can blame the MLM/Network Marketing company for this as well, because some of them over hype their programs with promising fancy cars, big houses and monster commission checks. Unfortaintly most individuals never look past this when they join these types of programs. For instrance they should be looking at... the track record of the company, its compensation plan, its benifits and appeal of its products or services, its affiliate tools to promote it, and its its support line (technical and affiliate based). Amway is probably a great example, it was the first Network Marking company of its kind to hit the block and has been around for ever, and even though a lot of people make great a income from it, it still will get a bad rap for being a Network Marketing company. I'm also very successful in Network Marketing, and do it full time, and yes I put alot of hours and days into it, but really, I don't know any other online income opportunities and home based businesses where you don't have to be successful, building any type of business is not easy and all takes time and patience
Hands down the best MLM out there is ACN. They procvide telecommunications services through DiecTV, DISH Network, Sprint, Verizon, T-mobile, AT&T, ADT, and soon will be in the Utilities industry (Electricity and Gas). They've been documented by numerous business publications. I'm 21 years old and have a reputable downline that span across the country. You just have to have the desire to get out of the 9-5 trap the education system lures you into.
