Some people will not believe anything if they do not experience it for themselves or hear it from multiple sources. Therefore, I am eliciting support from some of my fellow MLM bloggers. For the sake of time, I am only going to use some of the more popular mlm success stories articles.

Excel Phenomenon: The Astonishing Success Story of the Fastest-Growing Communications Company -- and What It Means to You $2.81 How It Happened, Where It's Going, and Why It Matters to YouThis is the story of a remarkable business opportunity, one that is open to all and is as simple to grasp as a telephone handset. It's about good old American ingenuity. It's about offering consumers a better deal. It's about people helping people. It's about accomodating and strengthening a family while working for financial achievement....

There are plenty of MLM Success Stories in our industry. Many people have gotten involved in our industry and changed their lives for the positive. Despite the MLM Horror Stories you see posted across the Internet, don’t make the mistake of believing that everyone fails in MLM. Many do, but not everyone.

Mlm success stories are made out of people who were willing to learn how to use the tools available to them to the fullest. The Internet is where the future of all commercial transactions will happen in a not too distant future. Those who don’t understand how marketing works, usually don’t understand what made them buy a pack of gum, a cool video game, or that lotto ticket. There is a bit of science behind the decisions you take, especially now that marketing messages are everywhere. It’s hard to go out today and not be influenced all these marketing ploys in front of us. Knowing what triggers people to take certain actions is vital to your online and offline success.

It is no longer uncommon to hear of very ordinary folks who only a few years ago were just eking out a miserable living now commanding six-figure incomes, working from home. A few network marketers have even developed their business to a level where they now enjoy a standard of living that even they themselves dared to dream of a few tears ago. Have you found success in mlm? with all the mlm success stories around us (and yes, most of them are true), it’s all too easy to assume that everyone going into network marketing is assured a lifetime of financial transformation. But is that really the case? well, from personal experience, i can say that the truth lies somewhere in between. And it is one of the most popular business options for individuals who desire to earn extra income from home.

For some additional mlm success motivation, you can take a look at an article I wrote a couple years ago, Three Feet from Gold, where I mentioned some highly recognizable figures who were able to desire their way to fame in the network marketing industry.  Specifically..

Dani Johnson – homeless at 21 to millionaire at 23
Tony Robbins – turned $10 into millions by age of 24
Mike Dillard – waiting tables to millionaire at 29
Matt Morris – homeless at 21 to millionaire at 29

I like talking about mlm in a positive light, because I believe this industry is your best opportunity to fulfill your dreams. You might not get there is quickly as some of the names above, and it may not happen the same way. You just have to make it happen. Your MLM Success Story is waiting to be written.

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:)

Most Multi-level marketing products are sold at the retail level with a pretty good profit margin. This brings up the question of why people do not sell more if there is so much money to be made?

Let’s analyze that a little bit closer.

1. They do not have a high belief level in the product they are selling. Depending on the product line many MLM distributors do not use their own products often enough.

The best way to develop a belief level in a product is to use it and understand everything about it. This makes it much easier to retail the product both online and face to face.

2. Many Multi-level marketing products are overpriced for what you get. One problem that network marketing companies face is justifying the prices they charge. This is especially true on a product line that a person can go down to a local retailer and purchase for half the price.

Of course the draw of an Multi-level marketing business is often times the compensation plan. To be able to a pay commissions on several levels deep there has to be profit built into each level. This can present a problem for people when it comes to retailing their products.

3. Many people work full time jobs and retailing products can be time consuming. Everyone knows that the real money to be made in multi-level marketing is through building a large downline.

Ultimately the dream is to create a walkaway income that will continue long after you quit working your business. That’s what drivews people to spend most of their time on sponsoring and not on selling the product.

4. Many Network marketing marketers are not Internet oriented and therefore do not take advantage of the opportunities Internet marketing offers. This is especially true on selling products that offer autoship.

Today you can earn very good money retailing products just by getting visitors to your company provided website. If you can get the visitors you stand a great chance of making a few sales and creating repeat retail profits.

This really makes it possible for more people to do retailing if they just learn basic internet traffic generation techniques. By doing this you can earn some healthy profits on the retail level without spending time talking to people, delivering products, or picking up checks.

5. Many people do not really understand how much money there is to be made in retailing MLM products. At the very least you could fund all of your Internet marketing efforts just on the profit you make selling some products.

It is a given that a lot of volume is created off of wholesale purchases. There certainly is nothing wrong with this as you want everyone in your group to be ordering products from themselves.

However there should be more emphasis put on retailing Network marketing products. This is both for the profit it creates for your business, and for the example it sets for your downline!
