Along with the explosive growth of the Web has come explosive growth in Internet fraud and “get-rich-quick” schemes. Beware of such claims! Educate yourself about the differences between what constitutes a legitimate business opportunity and Pyramid Schemes, Ponzi Schemes, and Related Frauds.
Multi-Level Marketing
Multi-Level Marketing or Network Marketing has long been associated with fraudulent “get-rich-quick” schemes. Certainly any economic endeavor will attract those looking for the fast buck and those unscrupulous ones who are determined to separate your from your money. What’s new about that? You even find those folks on Wall Street and in Washington, D.C. The trick is to separate the frauds from the legitimate opportunities. And, there are legitimate opportunities!
A long standing principle in the Free Enterprise system is “buyer beware.” It is the buyers responsibility to educate themselves so they can make an informed buying decision.
Corporate Cover-Up
The truth is, ALL businesses are structured as a “pyramid.” You have the owners, CEO’s, and other executives at the top of the pyramid with the management people in the middle and the workers at the bottom.
The difference between this corporate pyramid structure and legitimate network marketing companies is that in the corporate environment, those at the top have a vested interest in protecting their elevated positions at the expense of those below them. In network marketing, ALL those in the business have an EQUAL opportunity to share in the overall success of the business. Indeed, it is not uncommon for someone to enter towards the bottom of the pyramid structure only to rise in a short time to a top level position in the company. You WILL NOT find that sort of opportunity in the corporate pyramid.
There has been a long standing conspiracy in our society perpetrated by corporations, labor unions, government officials, attorneys, educators, and others to protect the corporate pyramids and the wealth they assimilate. In fact, we are all involved in network marketing every day of our lives. We recommend movies, restaurants, books, music, stores, services, and the whole gamut of business. But, rarely are the ones who are making those recommendations rewarded for doing so. In multi-level marketing, all those along the chain who recommends products and services are rewarded for their efforts. In the corporate environment, or “single-level” marketing when you make a recommendation the company keeps the rewards for themselves.
The corporate pyramids indeed have an economic interest in maintaining their single-level marketing system and keeping the truth about multi-level marketing from the public.
In more recent years Network Marketing has been gaining in acceptance and popularity. It is proving itself to be an effective, professional, and rewarding business model. Witness the growth of “Affiliate Programs” on the Internet. Affiliate programs ARE multi-level marketing. Nearly all business that market on the Internet now have an affiliate program to reward others for recommending their services.
I’m sure you’ve heard of Amazon.com. That is network marketing. Amazon.com has not grown to be the company they are by adhering to old business practices. No! They offer their network of thousands of affiliates (network marketers) commissions for recommending books and other products.

Multi-level marketing offers a great opportunity. It allows participants to create a significant income by marketing and selling a product. Anyone with a knack for sales or a strong enough desire to develop quality marketing techniques can use multi-level marketing (MLM) programs as a way to produce enviable revenue without being forced to design, create and introduce a new product.
This fantastic opportunity, however, is only half of MLM’s beauty. In addition to prospering from the sales participants create on their own, multi-level marketers can also create a downline of other sellers. The marketer receives a portion of the revenue produced by the sellers in his or her downline. Thus, MLM allows one to profit their own sales while simultaneously generating a passive revenue stream based on the marketing successes of the downline.
This two-pronged approach to income creation makes MLM programs uniquely attractive when compared to many traditional alternatives. However, there are other reasons to embrace the MLM model, particularly with respect to online MLM ventures.
MLM provides an equal opportunity to everyone. Whether you are already a talented sales professional or a work-at-home parent, looking for a new way to raise funds, MLM is accessible to you. It doesn’t matter where you live, for instance. MLM online provides equal opportunity for those in the most bustling cities and those in the most isolated rural areas. Additionally, MLM programs don’t suffer from the biases of the “real world.” An online MLM participant can succeed regardless of appearance, gender, race or religious background. MLM truly is a level playing field.
Additionally, MLM can be a flexible way of earning an extra income. There is no time clock; your hours are set at your own discretion. You can make your MLM participation your primary income source or you can treat it as a part-time endeavor aimed at earning that “little extra” you always seem to need at the end of the month.
Multi-level marketing puts you in charge of your own business. The restrictive rules that so often govern the everyday workplace are replaced with a true freedom to pursue your goals in the manner you think best.
Considering the numerous benefits of MLM programs, it’s no surprise that MLM is extremely popular. Thousands earn their living in the multi-level marketing industry selling products and recruiting powerful downlines that earn them incredible levels of passive income.

What is the primary reason for success most people have that seems to elude unsuccessful people? Goal setting is the primary reason for success. Lack of proper planning is the number one reason for failure. Proper goal setting involves setting a business plan in place for your life. To many people this doesn’t sound fun or sounds tedious. In practice though, goal setters have more time freedom, more money, and more success in all areas of their lives than those who don’t. Well it’s no different with a MLM home business opportunity.
Your MLM business must be treated as a business and it requires planning that anyone can do. Much like an airplane pilot who goes through a pre-flight checklist, the MLM home business opportunity must go through many steps to succeed. You must market to find prospects, invite them to view your marketing web site, answering questions, following up, and supporting your team. The reason the doers make money is because so many people aren’t ready to make money. An MLM home business opportunity seems like pie in the sky until you put your plan down on paper and it starts to crystallize. The planning process itself should give you renewed energy.
Before I daily setup my plan I didn’t want to get out of bed each day, but now I get up ready to work on knocking out my plan every day. Set your plan up into baby steps that you can review and knock out every single day. Your daily plan must include marketing to find motivated people to contact you. Regardless of your opportunity, if your marketing stops, you will go through long dry spells. Even with consistent marketing you will have periods with few leads and periods where you are just swamped with new members.
Constant daily review of your goals is critical. This is why many suggest taping your goals on your bathroom mirror so you see it when you wake up and again before you go to bed. You can even buy giant poster sized post it notes that you can write your goals on and stick them on your wall. Reviewing your goals before going to sleep at night causes your brain to dream about your goals and program them into memory. So put your goals down on paper and start putting your MLM home business opportunity plan into action.
