The simple truth is that anyone can do Multi-Level-Marketing!
You do not need any special training, education or experience to start your own MLM business. Herein lies the problem! Since you don't have to be an expert, most people don't know what they have gotten themselves into. You hear all the hype and figure that you can "Get Rich Quick!"
MLM is a legitimate business that should be treated as such. It is not something to be taken lightly. It is your only chance to start your own independent business, to run as you see fit, for a couple hundred dollars. There are no franchising fees, no monthly dues, no boss to answer to, and (usually) no one but yourself to give guidance.
So, if you need no formal education or experience to start an MLM business, why isn't everyone doing it. Granted, MLM is a very simple idea, it is by no means easy! You are in complete control of your financial future and what you do (or don't do) today will directly affect what you have (or don't have ) tomorrow. I am hoping to be able to educate more people of the benefits of MLM, but also of the hard work and dedication it takes. No matter how good the Company or their Compensation Plan, you will not make any money in MLM if you don't do anything! Too many MLM "Representatives" act as silent members and forget that they are actually running a business and need to gather customers. Since MLM is another form of marketing with different rules than the other types of marketing, you need to play by the new rules to be successful. If you put up hundreds of thousands of dollars to start a printing company, wouldn't you tell everyone you knew (including friends and family) that you had started a print shop and you would appreciate their business. It is no different with a new MLM business. Since you are starting for only a couple hundred dollars, you need to take advantage of the people around you to get the word out about your new venture.
You can not have a successful business without a loyal customer base. Who would be more loyal to you than your own friends and family? Don't you think they would rather get their products from you or use your Company's services, rather than going to a stranger for such items? Think about it!
