MLM, or Multi-Level Marketing, is all about creating downlines of recruits you've introduced to your opportunity in order for you to earn a percentage from the work they do.

Exposing the Lies Behind MLM There comes a time when almost everyone will wonder whether it's possible to really make

money online. Unfortunately, MLM lures many newbies who believe it will all be very easy, only for

them to learn that they're not really earning money at all, which leads them to think that earning

money online must be a myth. MLM, or Multi-Level Marketing, is all about creating downlines of

recruits you've introduced to your opportunity in order for you to earn a percentage from the work

they do. This type of business model is inherently flawed, yet the slick advertising for MLM makes

people believe it's the best opportunity available. Before you fall for the lure of a scheme such as

this, think about the following points.

One of the most exaggerated lies that MLM people will use when they want you to work under

them is that you can use your extra time to sell products. If the things that they were saying were

not made up, the multi level marketing industry would be on top of the world instead of falling on

its face.

If the basic concept of the pyramid was viable, then this would be a good plan. Besides, the

system is based upon the fact that you hire a downline to do the work for you, while you get a

commission. But, the drama begins whenever people put most of their time into getting new

people to join instead of selling products, which means that not that many sales are being made.

Also, you cannot earn a good living in your spare time. Doing a good job will take time, effort and

commitment.

One of the reasons that MLM often seems so tempting is because it looks like a system in which

you do not have to do a lot of work. Obviously, you have to get new people and sell merchandise

at first. But,if you bring the right people, you can then just let them bring in more people and you

can just hang back and make money off of them. This plan has potential, right? Simply put, it is not

that easy to get skilled people to work on your down line. You have to give them the proper

guidance You need to pick people who won't bail when they figure out what a scheme they've

become a part of. You have to come up with a good reason that will make your workers want to

stay with you in the end. A successful business has to have good workers. Don't ever forget that.

An incredibly popular lie often told by MLM business owners is that it doesn't take long for the

products sold through multi level marketing to make their ways into regular retail stores. The truth

is that most of the products that are sold through multi level marketing are sold to the people who

are trying to resell the products for their own profiting purposes. For the most part, most MLMers

lose their shirts because they end up trying to peddle merchandise that they purchase to retail

stores on consignment, usually for a complete loss. MLM has been associated with being

absolutely pointless as a business model for the majority of people for a very long time. Somehow,

though, it still survives and people still get sucked into it. These newbies are the people who end

up losing a lot of time and money - and often losing friends too - before they decide that all forms
