When I was in college (a while back, but who’s counting?), I had two ways to communicate with the folks back home.
I could write a letter, walk across the campus to drop it in the mailbox, and then wait a week to hear back from them.
Or on the weekend I could collect a bunch of loose change and stand in line to use the one and only pay phone in my dormitory – during the week it was way too expensive.
<br />
My friends and I took all this for granted.
But look what we take for granted now! Sending a letter to someone on the other side of the world in a matter of seconds. Transmitting the identical document to hundreds of people at the same time with just a few mouse clicks. Retrieving data on any subject imaginable without budging from our desk chairs. Sharing home videos and music instantly with almost anyone, anywhere. Interfacing with potentially millions of people on a daily basis.
The Internet is the most powerful and versatile communications tool in the history of the human race. It’s totally transforming the way companies do business.
I say all this to convince you beyond a doubt that you want to take your network marketing business online. You NEED your own Website to generate an ongoing stream of enthusiastic, pre-qualified prospects.
So what’s stopping you from building your own site? Here are five common myths that deter many people.
1. IT’S GOING TO COST ME AN ARM AND A LEG.
We’ve all heard of someone who paid a professional thousands of dollars to build a site for them. Most people just don’t have that kind of money to invest when they’re starting out.
But there IS another option that will cost you a tiny fraction of that: Build it yourself. (No, no. Stop laughing.)
And that brings up the next misconception.
2. THERE’S NO WAY I CAN BUILD A WEBSITE MYSELF – I HAVE NO COMPUTER SKILLS.
This is what I used to think, too. Then I discovered dozens of Web hosting services that make it a snap for small businesses to do it themselves.
It’s no longer necessary to know computer programming or html code. If you can send emails, surf the Internet, and type letters in your word processing program, you can build a Website.
I did it — so can you.
3. I’D HAVE TO SPEND A MOUNTAIN OF MONEY ON ADVERTISING IF I WANTED TO GET ANY VISITORS.
This is another misconception I used to believe, as well. I was stuck in old-school thinking.
But I’m happy to report that there are many effective ways to promote a Website that don’t cost a dime, and some of them will give you even better results than traditional advertising.
4. MY COMPANY PROVIDES ME WITH A FREE WEBSITE – I DON’T NEED MY OWN INDEPENDENT SITE.
If you’re thinking this way, I have a question for you:
How many other distributors have sites just like yours? Probably a few thousand, right? These are called “replicated sites,” and search engines will totally ignore them because they clog up their systems.
It’s fine if you want to send people to your replicated site for information about your company or products, but it will not generate any new leads for you. And leads are the lifeblood of your business.
5. I CAN’T HAVE MY OWN SITE – MY COMPANY WON’T ALLOW IT.
Most network marketing companies do restrict what their distributors can and cannot say about them, which is understandable. This may include bans on personal websites that pitch the company or its products or services.
But this doesn’t have to be a problem for you.
There are still many ways you can use a Website to generate leads without mentioning your particular company or brand name. In fact, your site will be even more effective if you do it this way.
Why? Think about your own preferences. Which would you rather visit – a site that tries to sell you something or a site that simply gives you lots of useful information about a problem you’re trying to solve?
Which site owner are you more likely to trust and want to connect with? Who are you going to perceive as the expert?
Here’s an example: Suppose your company sells non-toxic cleaning products. Your site might offer cleaning tips to get housework done faster, scientific reports on the dangers of common commercial cleaners, and your own personal story of why you got interested in non-toxic cleaning products. Just don’t mention your company or any of its brand names.
You’ll attract like-minded people and develop a relationship of trust with them. And without a doubt, some of your readers will turn into customers or business partners.
So what are you waiting for? Jump in and start building. The World Wide Web awaits you.

Hi,

I'm glad you have not signed up yet. You will not find financial freedom in Network Marketing. Believe me – been there, done that.
Wow! I'm glad you asked about MLM, aka Network Marketing.
Freakanomics is right – network marketing is a hoax. Get the book:. Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything (Hardcover) by Steven D. Levitt
Check out this book at your local library.How to Take Advantage of the People Who Are Trying to Take Advantage of You: 50 Ways to Capitalize on the System (Paperback)

Be informed. Practice due diligence. Demand proof. Proof that can be verified. Bank statements, tax returns, etc.
Get this book at your local libary or Amazon: (False Profits: Seeking Financial and Spiritual Deliverance in Multi-Level Marketing and Pyramid Schemes (Paperback)
by Robert L. Fitzpatrick .
Only the most virulent, ruthless, aggressive, con artists are successful at Network Marketing. You have to be willing to screw a lot of people into thinking you have a plan for financial Nirvana and they will talk a lot about altruism and spirituality and how working an ordinary job is a dead end They call it Just Over Broke (JOB). In reality, you will go broke buying worthless MLM products at sky-high prices.
It's like a chain letter, a pyramid, a Ponzi scheme. Don't believe people when they say it isn't. They lie through their teeth. MLM is a snake-pit of liars and those that aren't lying are hopelessly misinformed.
Read this before you waste any money on Network Marketing: (http://skepdic.com/mlm.html).
You will hear a lot of arguments that make network marketing sound like the Holy Grail of home based "businesses". Like comparing apples to computer chips. You will always hear some very convincing arguments that it is legitimate – every one is a con and illustrates how creative con artists are.
The are very CON-vincing – that's convincing with a capital C for calamnity, a big O for obnoxious, and N for nauseous. There are no nuggets in this scam. See: (http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/mlm.html).
Here are the 10 biggest lies of network marketing (http://www.mlmwatch.org/01General/10lies.html); read the truth and steer clear of this world-wide hoax.
MLM is the biggest scam in the world and it is going global with companies like Tiens.
They will tell you that all you need is fresh leads from a good mailing list and people will sign up faster than a NASCAR race car.
Are you kidding me? Fresh MLM leads! Don't fall for that.
Get real.
Remember, There's a sucker born every minute…and two to take 'em. Burn that into your brain.
If their leads are so good, where is their money-back guarantee? Leadbakery is just one example of a list seller and they are even worse than the MLM companies.
Listen! There has never been a successful course or book on MLM success – all boil down to this:
talk to lots of people with questions like "If I could show you a way to make lots of money quick, would you be interested?" or "If I could show you a sure-fire way to build a financial fortress that would protect you forever, would you be iinterested?" or "Social Security is not secure. Build a MLM company and retire rich".
That's the first warning sign that something is rotten in Denmark.
Yes, some will sign up, but unless you are a "heavy hitter" and use illegal methods to trap people into becoming distributors, honest people cannot succeed at this.
Do you know why these courses never work? None of them work because the concept is a con – it's the confidence man's dream, jam packed with hype and hyposcrisy.
The only people that will be making money are the list brokers selling the mailing list – and the course writers and seminar creators. If it was such a good deal, why wouldn't they join a MLM company? The mailing list would be free to them. You don't see them giving up a lucrative mailing list business to get into something that doesn't work. They are smart. They get it. And expensive training courses – what a joke. They offer courses that will never work for the gullible and naive – the GRQ crowd.
And I always wondered why none of the people who worked the administrative side of the "business" were not distributors if it was such a great deal. They knew a job was better than the smoke and mirrors, pie in the sky hype used to sell MLM. They knew that only the heavy hitters made any real money.
MLM is the world's biggest scam. I have tried it a couple of times, the last being Herbalife. It has now moved into the Internet to trap people into believing that they can Get Rich Quick. It is going global.
The only way to make big money is to sell distributorships for thousands of dollars or sell seminar tapes and books.
I once went to a seminar given by Herbalife. The president came to speak. We thought we would learn the secret from the horses mouth on how to get the fiasco to work. We couldn't believe how shallow his advice was. It boiled down to "talk to a lot of people". That was his "secret"..
If you do the math, and you are able to sign up lots of people, which is doubtful, you soon run out of people. You get 2, then those 2 get 2, etc. It the old binary progression. Do it 10 times and you are in the thousands. With every progression, the number doubles. 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024, 2024,4048,9096. The problem is those people in the beginning of the progression opt-out and gobble up the progression faster than Pac-Man. This is known as the "Drop Out Rate".
So what happens when thousands of people are doing this and with the internet it could be millions. You soon run out of people to talk to. And most people are smart enough to know it's a scam so right away you lose a huge part of potential prospects.
Think about it.
In fact, finally, the numbers will exceed the entire world's population. It is a total dream world, a fantasy, completely out of touch with reality. It always looks good on paper, but none of the "heavy hitters" want to talk about drop-out rates.
Hey! What looks good in a spreadsheet, doesn't translate to reality.
The fact is that only the people who set up the program make money. The next level is all those scam artists that sell and give seminars on how to succeed in MLM. None of the schemes work because the concept is fatally flawed.
Why would anyone with a brain pay $30 for an herbal shampoo that they can buy at the local supermarket for $1. The same with pomegranate juice and Noni joice and all the other miracle juices, algae, and other strange things, even flower pollen.
Are you kidding me?
Get real.
Next, you will read all the anecdotal claims that the product will cure cancer and all sorts of other maladies. This is just another form of fraud. Where are the scientific double and triple blind studies? There ain't any. Sorry.
Listen! Ask about the drop-out rate. Yes, the drop out rate.
Over 99% of the people who sign up will drop out after a few months or less. So even if you sign up a few people, they will be gone in months, if not weeks, when they find out how many people they have to talk to for just one distributor.
And your friends, co-workers, and relatives will not like you badgering them to join and will avoid you at all costs.
And most of the people who sign up are down-and-out desperate, who can ill afford to waste their money and who may be liable to criminal prosecution for promoting unregistered securities. And that's just in the USA. Foreign companies like Tiens leave you no recourse to any real legal remedies or enforcement.
Most of these programs die eventually leaving the suckers who signed up holding the bag. I had them die on me and not knowing any better, signed up for the latest MLM scam. After several attempts, I finally came to realize that it was all just a scam – some people became almost like religious zealots when they talked about their program that was going to make everyone rich and quick too. I lost a good friend when he believed my wild claims, put down $3,000 and lost it all.
The "industry" is full of disingenuous people whose mantra is "Fake it 'til you make it". Doesn't work. More fraud. They will give you testimonials of people who have made money, but they are liars and what they say cannot be proven. If it's so great why is there so much hype?
Here is a trick your upline will employ to get reluctant prospects to sign up. They will tell Ms. Reluctant that they will put some people under her and they take Mr. Hopeful who has already become a distributor and paid the fee and stick him under Ms. Reluctant which forces Ms. Reluctant to either buy in or lose the distributor. This is what happened to me in Herbalife. I was Mr. Hopeful. I thought I was signing up under a successful guy at the top known as a "heavy hitter", but I soon found out I had been scammed. Without telling me, he put me under Ms. Reluctant to force Ms. Reluctant to become a distributor. I did not like my new sponsor and after spending thousands on mailings, I finally dropped out. This is known as "stacking" and is supposedly illegal but it happens all the time.
Listen! My upline in Herbalife made more money selling a sales pamphlet than they did working their MLM business. We mailed out thousands of these pamphlets that we bought from our sponsor for a dime and he probably had them printed for a penny or less. He sold so many of them he had to set up a warehouse to hold and ship them.
Now, it's all done on the Internet via e-mail. But instead of mailing booklets, you get a Web site and collect e-mail addresses. But a fraud is still a fraud no matter what the media is that promotes it.
This was right before the Internet became popular and I was buying mailing lists through mailing list brokers and mailing thousands of booklets with not much success. I was lucky if 1% of 1% signed up as distributors. And they dropped out faster than I could add new ones.. Pretty soon, you run out of quality people to mail to. The internet makes this even worse, but they have to be more careful, but the spam continues to explode.
Check out this Web site: http://www.vandruff.com/mlm_faq.html... – for more facts, not hype about MLM and what a world-wide fraud it is.
I will probably get lots of MLMers who will villify me for trashing MLM, but I've been there and done it and I know first hand what a fraudulent scam it is that can destroy your life, drain you wallet and ruin your friendships.

P.S. Remember, there are no get rich quick schemes that work. If there were, the entire world would be rich in an instant, or as they say, a New York minute. I used to be gullible and naive and fell for some of them – no more. Be a sceptic. Be a doubting Thomas. Why are there thousands of GRQ schemes, because they work! Thousands of Gullible people believe that there is such a thing as GRQ and con artists take advantage of that. Demand proof, not hype.
P.P.S. Jeekers! You gotta remember – if it sounds too good to be true, it is.
P.P.P.S. Find some other way to make money. Have you tried e-bay? Get this book – How to Buy, Sell & Profit on eBay by Adam Ginsberg. Get this one too – Don't Get Burned on eBay by Shauna Wright. It cost nothing to sign up and find out about it. There are lots of tutorials where you can learn from the experts and most of it is free. Try getting free tutorials and expert advice from the so-called MLM gurus – free stuff would ruin their con.
