Many people hear MLM and think scheme or scam. Not at all! MLM and Direct Sales can be a great opportunity for you to find your passion and put it to work for you. You are in control.
What is MLM?
MLM is multi-level-marketing. What it means is that you will get paid on your own sales AND on the sales of your team. You can compare it to a store where a manager is in charge of their team of floor people. They get paid on the success of the store.
However, unlike a store where you need to wait for your boss to recognize you and give you a raise, you move up when you want to move up based on your performance.
Would you rather get paid only on the work you are doing, or would you like to get paid on the work of 100 or more people? That is what makes MLM a great opportunity for some.
What is Direct Sales?
Direct Sales is person to person marketing. Many direct sales companies are based on multiple levels. Companies like Amway have given MLM a bad reputation so many businesses prefer to take the direct sales route.
How do you find the right MLM or Direct Sales company for you?
Products. Products. Products. The key to success is not the matrix or what percent you get five generations down. It starts with a love of the products. When you love the products, it is easier for you to share it with others. For example, there is no way I could make money with some of those health mixes. There is nothing wrong with them and I hear great stories, but I won’t use them. I know some people who do make a nice income in these businesses, but at my house they would collect dust. I can’t sell something I don’t believe in or use.
So if you see MLM, do not be afraid. Instead, look at the product. Would you be a customer? If the answer is “yes” then take a look at how you can make money being a customer and sharing the products with others.
