Network Marketing Scam: Who's Fault Is It?
*** Simple explanation of what Network Marketing is and why many people fall into the "scam pit."
Let me guess... You are reading this article for one of two reasons: first reason is that you "know" that Network Marketing is scam and you just like reading more and more about it just to feel more confident, and second reason, - you are not sure and you are looking for more information to make a conclusion.
If you belong to the second group then what you are doing is called Research and I respect that. You are open-minded and careful (means - realistic and using your brain).
But for those who think that Network Marketing is scam, let me get something straight for you before I start. If for some reason you think that Network Marketing is scam and by reading this article you only want to find proof for it, if you are sure that nothing will ever change your opinion on this subject, - I suggest you to skip this article and find some other source. You won't find support here.
The truth is that most of you "scam-believers" just need to find an excuse for your failures, no matter if you've had any experience with this subject yourself, or you listen to your "savvy" friends and take their opinions for granted.
I'm not going to start any arguments about this subject because I never believe any opinions except mine. And I operate with facts, logic and personal experience and results.
Well, let's start...
What Is Network Marketing?
First Network Marketing company was found in early 1940's and since then this whole concept went through some changes but basic elements remain the same. There were good systems, there were not so good ones, but no doubt, millions of regular people have been making fortune working in such companies.
How are they doing that?.. Keep reading.
A Product
The whole concept always rotates around some product that is being sold by so called distributors or marketers. Such product can be vitamins, food supplements, services, financial education packages and so on. And the vital part of any Network Marketing company is that people buy this product. And they don't only buy it but they also use it and love it. So, the product is supposed to be very good. Otherwise it won't work. How can you sell something that you don't like? Your potential buyers will see that you're trying to fool them.
So, people buy it, people use it, people love it, - people become a "product of a product."
Besides simply using the product, there's always an income potential involved. And this is the most interesting part, of course. Let's talk about it.
Income Potential
All marketers make money on their own sales plus they earn Residual Income from the sales that people in their "downline legs" make. Residual income is very important and here's why: if you would earn commissions only from your sales, you would have limited income every month. Why? Well, how many sales can you make by yourself? Ten? Hundred per month? Obviously not even a thousand. But by signing up more and more people under you and making commissions on their sales, you are increasing your income and potentially there's no limit to how much money you can make, as long as you keep signing up new people.
Investment and Effort
Also take to your consideration, REAL Network Marketing is never a "make money quick" scheme. If somebody promises you "earning-quick-money-on-autopilot-without-putting-any-effort-in-it-blah-blah-blah", - oh, you shouldn't have any doubts, that is scam.
There's an old saying, "The only one free thing is cheese in a mousetrap".
REAL Network Marketing is ALWAYS a serious business. Huge money is involved. You have to take it seriously.
And of course it requires some investment.
When you open a business with all the offices, inventory and employees, you don't expect to not invest any money in it, and neither you expect to earn money without putting any effort in it.
You have to invest and you have to work.
Same with Network Marketing. You have to invest and you have to work. But the wonderful thing is that the investment that you have to make is tens or hundreds times less comparing to regular businesses (usually from couple hundreds to few thousands dollars only) and also you get all the freedom, - no offices, employees and all that stuff. You are free to work from any place you want (means - freedom to travel), any time you want.
If you invested Zero (money and time) into this business, guess how much you are going to earn? Exactly, - Zero. That's why when many people sign up for all those free or low cost businesses, they don't earn anything.
And guess what they say? They say, "It's not working, it's scam." And then they "spread the word" about ALL NETWORK MARKETING COMPANIES and other people start thinking the same way about Network Marketing in general.
When you take this business seriously, when you become a "product of a product", when you start believing in your own result, when you put your effort in it, - this is the point when everything starts working out. All you need to do is to find the network marketing company that is right for you and that is REAL.
Are We Just Selling a Product to Each Other?
Some people ask me, "Well, so, it's like we're selling the product to each other and this is how we make money, right?" Well, my answer is, - you can go and buy some product in a store, use it, and then go buy some more when you're out of it. Who's making money? The company-supplier and the store (and probably few middle-men).
And when you are in Network Marketing, you're becoming that store, you start selling the product and you are making commissions. Besides, you order directly from the company, - no middle-men, no unnecessary charges.
And in addition YOU HELP other people to make money too. It's a win-win situation for the company (it's supply chain dramatically grows because thousands of people are selling it's product now) and it's an opportunity for the people working with this company to make the amount of money they would never be able to make, AND to have the freedom.
So, I Have to Sell, right?
Now you might say, "OK, I got it, I have to sell, right? BUT I HATE IT, I'm not that type of a person." And I perfectly understand your concern. I'm not that type of a person either.
So, it's time to start using your imagination...
What If...
Let's make one more step forward and imagine that it's possible to automate part of the process. Remember I said that there's no such thing as "Fully automated business"? This is true but you can simplify and automate SOME things.
WHAT IF you automate "information delivery" part. It's informational age now, Internet has been around for couple of decades. You don't need to talk to thousands of people anymore, - just put the information online and bring people there...
Next step, - WHAT IF you get comprehensive training that teaches you HOW to bring people on your website using ways that most of professional marketers don't even know?
Even better - WHAT IF someone else already created that website for you with all the information written by PROFESSIONAL MARKETERS that know how to put words right?
Let's think about another part, the most important and complicated part, - closing a sale. WHAT IF you would have a call center behind you, - again, all the professional marketers, - that call your prospects and close all your sales FOR YOU and then ship this product to a buyer (your new team member)?
You think it's all science fictional and not real? Well, it's not. It's so simple and so many people use it, and it's called LEVERAGE.
How much work can you do by yourself? You have limits to your physical abilities and we have only 24 hours in a day.
But how much work can be done if you are using all the modern technologies, Internet, comprehensive education and hundreds of other people that help each other to make more and more money?
It's all about mutual support, it's all about leverage, - it's all about wisdom!
Sounds too good to be true?
OK, I Almost Believe You... What's Next?
You are probably still skeptical, but you're saying, "Well, ok, I wanna see that all in action. Show me!"
What can I say? Just go and see it!
And as a matter of advice, - maybe you should stop researching "Network Marketing Scam.". Do you really want to listen to other people who failed, and learn from their experience? What can they teach you, - how to fail? Oh yeah, they are really experienced in that.
Returning to the title of this article, - who's fault is it gonna be if YOU fail too? Are you going to blame a Network Marketing company, your friends or YOURSELF?
I say that maybe you should take another approach and join the winners. Start LISTENING to winners and LEARNING from winners. They know how they did it, they can teach you how YOU can do it too.
Take action right now.
