NOT ALL NETWORK MARKETING ARE PYRAMID SCHEME - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

tunde · 01-17-2008, 06:42 PM

Hello There,
If you mention "MLM" or network marketing to most people, their immediate reaction is along the lines of, "Oh, that's just some kind of pyramid scheme."
Ask the same person to explain what network marketing actually IS, and they're stumped, other than the words, "Pyramid Scheme," or "Scam".
I have been seeing some negative attitudes towards Network Marketing. It leaves me asking questions to myself. is it that some people was given false expectations? Are we getting involved for the wrong reasons? Do we get in with the wrong mindset? I believe that if we do the right preperations and understand the power of network marketing our attitude towards mlm would change.
Most people who have had issues with network marketing have expected over night success. Which, of course, almost never happens.
Research is the key to finding the perfect network marketing company for your lifestyle. What is good for the goose may not be good for the gander, so trust your own gut and don't rely soley on what you've heard.
As with any home business, network marketing is only as successful as you make it.

Network marketing only works when the focus is on the sale of a tangible product, not on the recruitment of other sales associates (or whatever that particular MLM calls them). Since the driving force of any business is sales, and it's technically illegal to pay sales associates a recruitment fee, any MLM that does not induce sales will crash.

The result? Forced product purchases (a la Melaluca or Quixtar). I'm sorry, but that is not a very legitimate way to do business, is it?
