MLM Brutally Honest Review An Absolute Must Read!
MLM Marketing is a marketing structure that is used by some companies. The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by paying promoters for both the sales of the companies products they make and for new distributors they bring into the business that will go on to promote the companies product as well.
Anyone who joins and promotes the companies products are known as distributors. They do not earn a salary but instead they are awarded a commission dependant on how many sales they make themselves and the sales their downline make. This process is similar to a franchise.
A down line is the people that have paid you to join the MLM business and you will get a percentage of their sales. So in essence you pay to join into the business and then for every product you or a member of your down line sell you earn money for.
So here some advantages of MLM businesses; Relatively quick and easy to set up, Can start straight away if you like, if you join near the top of the MLM line you can stand to build a long downline and make a lot of money.
Here are the Disadvantages of MLM; Methods of selling are outdated, this is because most MLM models encourage you to sell to your firends and family, pick up the phone and tell people about your product. These aren’t exactly cutting edge and many people will not be interested in sales calls! Another disadvantage is if you join near the bottom of the line most of the market will be saturated and you’re competing with experienced marketers. Now you will not be able to compete with these as nearly all MLM’s do not provide training on Internet Marketing.
So overall I think MLM’s are outdated as the marketing techniques they teach are no longer effective. Nearly every MLM will not provide you with the real training you need on Internet Marketing if you are to make money online and set up a successful home business.
Now there of course there are people making money from MLM’s and I’m not by any means trying to say they cannot make you money, but there is a very high failure rate as there’s a lack of training and support!
One of the main reasons people join an MLM is because of the lifestyle that is portrayed however at the beginning you will spend most of your time calling people on the phone and more often than not getting negative responses. This doesn’t sound like fun to me!
However if you have got your mind set on joining an MLM make sure you join near the top of a line and that there will be the support and training you require!
