Everyday millions of people search the internet for a home business opportunity. The problem is they have no idea which will be the best opportunity for them or where they should focus their search.
Many newbies choose Multilevel marketing as their first taste of home based business. The reason for this is that there is a very small start up cost. The only problem with this type of business is that 95% of the people who succeed in the MLM business are veterans of MLM who have built a large organization of people through many years.
The ordinary individual with little or no experience has little chance of hitting it big. They end up buying products they don't need or use to meet some type of quota. So the no investment opportunity ends up costing them in the long run. These companies will show you a matrix that explains how you can have thousands of people in your downline if you just get X amount of People to get X amount of people.
It sounds quite simple but in reality the only people the newbie ends up signing up are the couple of family members who want to shut them up. It's a business that preaches chasing friends and family. The so called warm market that tend to turn a cold shoulder when approached. Then months down the road they ask you "how you doing in that MLM thing?" and by that time the newbie has given up.
There is an alternative to the MLM nightmare and that is direct sales. It is quite different and a lot more lucrative then MLM. You see in a traditional MLM business its about building tremendous organizations of people to get to the level where you will be maing 1000's of dollars, but up to that point your are only making small change.
Direct sales pay's you in 100's and 1000's as opposed to MLM which pays you in dollars and cents. Why put in more effort to make less money. That makes no sense and thats why MLM is doomed. It's just comon sense.
Yes direct sales has a cost but what business doesn't. No matter what business venture you pursue it will cost money. If it is a brick and mortar business it will cost you tens of thousand of dollars. Go buy a card store or bagel shop or start something from scratch. What do you think that will cost you? I'll tell you a lot of time, money and headaches. I know I've been in business for over 20 years until I found direct sales that is. And none of those businesses will compensate you like direct sales can.
I wish I gave this lesson to myself 20 years ago. I did end up making a success in a few businesses but not without a lot of bumps and bruises. I would have been much better off in a direct sales business because I would have risked a lot less while making a lot more. This business model wasn't around 20 years ago but it is now and thats exactly where I am.
The best plan of action is to find an opportunity that has a great training system in place. This is key! Find the opportunity that offers the most training for the money. They all will offer training but some has a greater value than other. Find an opportunity that might be able to plug you into seminars and summits at no cost. That right there is worth the investment and then some.
Now what you need to do is search out your right fit, and also look at the person who is looking to sponsor you. Make sure you feel comfortable with them and have confidence they will be there for you when you need them. If you have any questions I am always avaiable.
