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.

Multi-level-marketing (MLM) involves the sales of a company’s products directly to the end user through independent distributors. The flagship product of Your Promised Land is called Dynamic Financial Training, offering the ultimate experience in financial education, and business building education.
Following are some key pre-requisites of a successful MLM opportunity:
Company’s credibility: People will trust you when you are associated with a trustworthy company. The wrong choice of a company may put your reputation at stake, despite your honest intentions.
Keynote Mentor, William V. Thompson, a CPA, is a nationally known, gifted lecturer and leading authority on cash flow management and strategies and a successful man of business. There is no one better at teaching his unique financial strategies, based on the game of Monopoly. He is the author of a series of 8 financial books for those looking for easy to understand financial assistance to get out of debt.
Thompson offers tips, tactics and hard hitting strategies that are the key to attaining the kind of wealth you may have only ever dreamed about. His drive to achieve will carry you along, as his mission is to assist 10,000 people to become debt free, retire from the rat race early and have the potential ability to earn $10,000 a month plus residual income using his cutting edge software Cash Flow Management System.
Company’s products: MLM works on the strength of your credibility in the eyes of your prospects. To establish your credibility in the products of the MLM company you are planning to get associated with, it is important that you yourself try the products first. If you are convinced about the products’ efficacy after the use then only promote it.
I’ve been very impressed with the quality of the Dynamic Financial Training. It offers a dynamite series of four week mini-course jam packed full of things you need to know to boost your financial acumen, kick start your goals to succeed and put you on the path to earning generational wealth. It is a fresh new program/product designed to turn your financial life around completely within in mere months, wipe your debt out faster than you ever thought was possible, get superior credit scores and keep your credit in great shape and learn a thing or two that will empower you forward to financial success.
The following benefits of MLM are found at Your Promised Land:
Cost-effective: The low monthly cost of only $50 combined with the Follow Our Lead team support keeps your promotion and advertising costs low. One thing I can promise you is that if you commit yourself to the business, plug in to our support group, and agree to take regular action and do as we recommend, you will be able to build a full time income on the Internet. How long that takes will depend on you. The returns from MLM help combat the products’ cost and thereby make good financial sense to the independent distributor.
Employment opportunity: MLM is an opportunity for those wishing to pursue their own business and earn a decent income working from the comfort of their home. I have been fortunate to be able to quit my full-time J.O.B. in 2000 and now work only when I want to.
Flexibility: MLM benefits you by providing flexibility to your earnings potential and also by providing the flexibility vis-à-vis time. You may work whenever you want to and for as many hours as you wish to. You can take time off from your business when you want to which means you can spend more time with your family and take vacations when you want.
Convenience: MLM is convenient for both the buyer and the seller, as you can buy and sell from the comfort of your home. No more fighting crowds, parking problems and traffic jams. I’ve found that my daily commute is just a few seconds between my bedroom and home office and the worst traffic jam is stumbling over my dog in the hallway.
Full-time business opportunity: Most people start their MLM working only part-time. Once MLM begins to pay you returns and you are witnessing growing profits from the efforts of your downline team then you may choose your MLM as your full-time business. A 100% commitment will leverage your business growth all the more.
Social networking is important to your success with any MLM. The wider your social network, the better your chances of success, as MLM works mainly on the Word of Mouth Marketing (WOMM). And for a favorable WOMM, it is important that your prospective clients trust you. Because of these features, MLM is also referred as direct marketing, direct selling or network marketing. Working with our team of professionals, we will show you how to easily increase your social network without the traditional hassles generally associated with network marketing.
Hard work, a brave heart and patience are keys to a successful MLM story. And I am sure when you have decided to step into the world of MLM, you will have these keys as well. Happy marketing!
