If you are considering joining a multi level network marketing opportunity there are some things you should know first. It can be easy to be enticed by the idea of easy money that people who promote network marketing opportunities often give us in hope that we will join them and send them our money. But there are a few things these multi level network marketing companies don’t want you to know.
I think most people who have been involved with network marketing know what this is but most don’t want to face it. It’s like the elephant in the room, nobody wants to mention it or think about it but everybody knows it’s there.
Multi level network marketing companies often have thousands of people who are hoping and expecting to either get rich or to at least make a nice living. But nobody wants to face the fact that in all of these companies most people are not making much if any money at all. There are a few who do make money and these are the people everybody focuses on and talks about. But we ignore the 95% or more who are not doing well at all with these businesses.
So does this mean you should forget about multi level network marketing? For most people yes. But if you are one of the few who are willing to get the skills and the personality that it takes to succeed in that business then it can be a good opportunity. But even if that is what you want most people just won’t do what it takes to succeed. Most of the people who are successful in that industry didn’t become that way over night. Most of them took years of learning and failing before they got the skills and developed the personality that it takes to succeed.
You will have to become good at selling. No matter how many times they tell you that you won’t have to do any selling, it’s all about selling. You will have to become a leader and a trainer and for most people it will require a personality change.
Network marketing often promises to be an easy and quick way to make money. But for most people it isn’t easy or quick at all. There are much easier ways to make money. What I do is trade the forex currency markets with an automated program. To do that you don’t even have to know how the forex works because the program will do it all for you.
If you want to become good at network marketing then go ahead and join a multi level network marketing program and go through the process. Just be aware that it might be a long and difficult one. If you are more interested in making money now then you are probably going to be better off with a different opportunity like automated forex trading.

Top 8 Myths About Network Marketing
November 29th, 2009Even though hundreds of thousands of people join network-marketing programs every year, the industry is still plagued with numerous myths. Let’s look at several of the top myths surrounding network marketing and dispel those myths. Then maybe we’ll be a little closer to understanding how beneficial the network marketing business model can be for anyone looking to generate an income.
Myth #1: Only the people at “the top” make money at network marketing.
Fact: Many of my clients make a six-figure income from their MLM business. Many others make far less than that. In reality there is a range with regards to how much people are making in network marketing. As is the case with any other profession, fewer make the big bucks. However, most people in network marketing are making a decent income, one that is either supplementing another source of income, or is enabling them to live comfortably.
Myth #2: Network Marketing is a pyramid scheme.
Fact: Network marketing business programs are not the same thing as pyramid schemes. In fact, you want to avoid pyramid schemes all together because pyramid schemes are illegal. In contrast, MLM business programs are legitimate and provide a viable, lucrative way for a person to earn an income.
Myth #3: You have to be good at sales to make money at network marketing.
Fact: There’s an old saying describing a person who is good at selling. It goes something like this: “He’s such a good salesperson that he can sell ice to Eskimos.” This saying feeds into a big misperception about sales in general. Many people think of sales as being good at convincing people to buy something. However, most people are savvy these days and know when they are being pitched or someone is trying to convince them of something.
While a person does not have to “be good at sales” to succeed in MLM, every successful network marketing does need to have the skills and abilities required to build a network marketing business. This is the case in any profession.
There are a lot of people out there trying to build network-marketing businesses without first developing the language, prospecting and recruiting skills necessary to build a stable, successful business. The necessary skills are easy to learn and with a little bit of effort even a 12 year old can develop them. So, it’s not rocket science. However, some training and development does make a huge difference in a network marketer’s ability to generate a stable, long-term income.
Myth #4: You have to bug your family and friends.
Fact: Simply put, you do not have to even mention your business or products to your family and friends. I’ve worked with thousands of MLMers over the years that have become successful without approaching people they know about their business, products or service.
Myth #5: You have to make cold calls.
Fact: Making cold calls can make the hair rise on the back of the neck of even the most confident, self-assured person. No one likes rejection, which can come with the territory when making cold calls. There are countless ways to generate leads. Cold calling is just one of those ways.
Myth #6: You have to spend a lot of money on an inventory.
Fact: Carrying an inventory to fulfill product orders is a thing of the past. Instead, most MLM business programs include the ability for customers and people in one’s down line to order product directly from the company. The company ships the product to the person who placed the order.
Myth #7: You have to have a lot of money to get started.
Fact: There is little to no barrier to entry into MLM business programs, including how much money it takes to get started. Nowadays, start-up costs for some MLM programs are as little at $29. In addition, most MLM companies provide various enrollment packages to accommodate different needs and budgets.
Myth #8: Network Marketing is just another scam.
A scam is a scam. Scams exist in virtually every type of business. So, yes, be careful and avoid scams, but just because you’re presented with a network marketing program doesn’t mean it’s a scam. Again, MLM business programs, in general, are viable ways to make an income. Know what to avoid in any type of business transaction you encounter so that you do not fall pry to a scam.
