I have been doing some research lately in search of The Truth About MLM in 2011. The results may (or may not) surprise you.

Let’s start with the ugly and work our way up to the truth..

The Ugly.

Mlm are the ones peddling their crap from the top to the salespeople/distributors. If you are not selling to the idiots attending the meetings, get out. They are the customers. The top doesn’t care if you actually sell the product or service, only if you buy from them. Mlm’s are disgusting in my book.

Mlm are responsible for shattered dreams, broken people, broken marriages, broken friendships, loss of money, and even suicide. I was in one in the past, and it was the biggest mistake i ever did. I lost friends, lost money and become depressed. Only the few top people make money and leave a trail of destruction of broken people. Mlm is evil. And they will say anything, lie, deceive to get people to sign up. Anchor: whrl. Posted 2011-jul-2, 7am aest.

The Bad.
http://www.archive.org/details/TheMythOfMlmIncome
Mlm are in the same small group positioned, year after year, at the top of the recruitment organization. The business model and business practices of most multi-level marketing companies directly cause the financial losses suffered by millions of consumers, not normal competitive factors orthe levels of efforts or talents of the participants. The collective losses represent an enormous transfer of money from several million people in the us each year to a handful of owners and recruiters. Like any other force that contributes to general impoverishment, this income transfer damages credit worthiness, breaks up marriages, ends friendships and degrades communities. Of the two categories of the mlm income opportunity, rebate income and retail sales income, the most publicized are the rebates, commissions and bonuses paid out on the purchases by “downline” recruits. This is the source that the companies claim has “unlimited potential” based on the opportunity to derive payments from an “endless” chain of recruits. Mlm allows all distributors to recruit others and qualified distributors to receive rebates on the purchases made by multiple levels of recruits that recruit more recruits. This report analyzes data from eight representative mlm companies. Seven of the companies that are analyzed are major and very well-known mlm companies and are members of the direct selling association. One is newer and growing and not a dsa member. Charts are provided showing the actual commission payouts on a per-10,000-sales-representatives basis for seven companies. The data show not only that virtually no recruits earn rebate profits but also that the mlm payout schemes transfer the lost investments of the great majority of participants to a tiny number of organizers at the top of the recruitment chains.

Mlm are making a real living income. I think to do what you do takes a lot of study, talent and hard work. I am still in the study and hard work phase. I haven’t found the talent yet. Over the years i’ve found half a dozen or so marketers that i listen to. You are definitely one of them.

Mlm are the same thing. Today most people refer to it as network marketing. Network marketing is a business opportunity. You get an opportunity to start your own business and you need to relate to it as such. Most people who fail in network marketing because they do not relate to it as a real business. Most network marketing companies have a startup cost of $500 or less. Most businesses startup costs are $10,000 or more. The fact that network marketing business is a bargain should not be the cause of you treating it like it has no value. You need to be the same way as if you had invested $10,000. Listen to robert kioysaki, author of rich dad poor dad.

Mlm are suited to stay at home mums or people looking for a flexible work environment as the hours you work are generally quite flexible. Being part of an mlm you generally have great support and also access to continual learning materials giving you great resources to one day start your own business if you desire. Use your expertise.

Now that you have heard what others are saying about MLM, tell me what you think.

What is the Truth About MLM? Is it the Good, the Bad or the Ugly?

I will tell you what I think and provide proof.. in my next post:)

Until Next Time..

Underwear – $175.00
Fitted Polo Shirt – $500.00
Stone wash Blue Jeans – $600.00 …
A New Lifestyle Change – Priceless!

I know a guy who wears men apparel in the amounts mentioned above. Well, he is still developing the underwear, but the other items are regular purchases.

I know, I know.. You are probably thinking, why in the world would someone pay $175.00 for undergarments? Well, here are a few:

1) Exclusiveness – How many people do you know who can say they wear expensive underwear? Aside from Mark, I don’t know any.

2) Comfort – Like 600 thread Egyptian Cotton, I am sure these $175 underwear must be truly comfortable. They better be or someone will be sued!

3) Lifestyle – Simple. Because he can afford to purchase underwear for $175 dollars, Jeans for $600 dollars and fitted Polo shirts for $500 dollars.

Let’s talk for a minute about Lifestyle.

A lot of people swear up and down that they will not change their lifestyle if their bank accounts suddenly increased.  I will tell you, they are liars!

We mock professional athletes when they receive huge contracts and they go out and buy six cars and three mansions, right?

But why do they do that? Aside from the obvious, they do it simply because they can. They belong to an exclusive group of people who can say they own an expensive home (The Manor – $150 million), a Bugatti Veyron Super Sports ($2,400,000) or a pair of expensive undergarments ($175 men’s underwear – awaiting production).

A drastic lifestyle change is something many seek but never find. Many of my friends, Mark included, started out with nothing but now they are flying on private jets, chauffeured in limousines, and live the lifestyles of the rich and famous – literally.

And so can you!

So.. join me, Mark and other exclusive members of our group as we prepare ourselves to wear $175 comfortable fitting underwear.

Take Care.. See You one the next post:)

The value of silver is continuing to rise in 2011. In fact, it reached a 31-year high hitting $49.21 per ounce on April 29, 2011. The main reason for this growth is due to economic uncertainty and concerns about the bailout.

Silver has always been a valuable commodity due to it’s many uses. Silver is used for jewelery, batteries, solar energy, medicines, water purification, electronics, and my favorite.. wealth & asset accumulation.

As an asset or investment commodity, silver is one of the most recommended commodities to buy today. Top investors such as Ben Davies, Jim Rogers & Robert Kiyosaki suggest you not wait, but buy silver today!

Ben Davies via King World News states: This is the start of a great opportunity to accumulate silver. All of the key fundamental issues in the world have not gone away nor those specific to silver such as the fact that it is under-owned and short of supply in the medium-term. All of those conditions are still in place for silver.

Jim Rogers: The currency turmoil is coming.. They’ll print money until they run out of trees.. the only real answer is to own a commodity.. own silver!

Robert Kiyosaki: If you are afraid of inflation, which you should be, I would think that silver is the #1 investment today.

All of the talk about inflation and suggestions from top investors to buy silver has created a market in the network marketing industry, with Numis Network being the first to offer independent representatives the ability to acquire gold and silver assets in the form of numismatic gold and silver coins.

So, we as network marketers now have an opportunity to invest in commodities by selling a product that will not get used up and will never degrade — Gold & Silver Numismatic Coins.

As a Numis Representative, I, like the top investors previously mentioned, suggest you invest in silver today. It really doesn’t matter how you do it, just do it today!

However, if you are a network marketer looking to own your own business while acquiring gold and silver assets, visit TheValueofSilver.com.

Happy Investing!

As I mentioned in the last couple blog posts, I will be running a series of campaigns over the next few days to inform as many people as possible about one of the most exciting network marketing opportunities I have seen in my many years in this industry.

I am speaking of the Numis Network Opportunity.

Numis Network is the first in this industry to launch an opportunity where you get paid to collect gold and silver numismatic coins. No where else will you find this opportunity — No Where!

I remember saying once that this job of network marketing should never be look at as a hobby. Well, Numis Network has proved me wrong. You now have the opportunity to collect gold and silver numismatic coins, a highly valuable asset in itself, and you get paid for showing your hobby to others. Is that exciting or what?

Why buy soaps, lotions and potions only to have to restock them each month? Well, now you can collect gold and silver coins and stock them for life (or until you are ready to sell them for a profit)?

If you have not heard of the Numis Network Opportunity, let me be the first to introduce you to this phenomenal opportunity. Plus, I will show you ways to absolutely explode your Numis Network, should you decide to join my marketing team.

Watch the following video and get excited!

Click on the join now button at the end of this video to receive more details on the Numis Network Opportunity.

Once you have decided to join, visit my marketing website (Numis Network Opportunity) so I can show you how to quickly earn wealth with this opportunity.
