Free MLM Home Business Opportunities?
My parents always told me that nothing is for free. Nothing comes without a price.
How right they were, especially when talking about MLM home business opportunties.
This blog is about TRUTHS, so here’s one for you:
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!
How does this relate to Network Marketing and MLM? Plenty.
I hear from those “interested” in starting a home business all the time….
When will I start making money. I need to make XX dollars in a month right away. Oh, and by the way, I have no money to start and advertise.
Well, here’s what I have to say to that — PLAY THE LOTTERY OR SELL A KIDNEY.
Nothing is for free in Network Marketing.
What people don’t understand is that in just about every opportunity I have ever researched, there is a baseline entry price, the lowest price you can pay to get into the business, but to make the REAL money, you need to “buy up”.
In other words, you need to put down more money to get to a higher compensation level so that you can get the higher payouts when you make a sale.
This is how the BIG MONEY is made in MLM and direct sales.
So, sure you can start your business with as little as $100 in some companies, but you won’t make much money at that level. What they don’t tell you is that you need to shell out another $1000-2000 to get to the next compensation level.
And that’s fair — but people act surprised.
It takes money to make money. Or something as valuable as money.
Take the case of free leads in advertising. Is there such a thing?
Well, it’s true you can get free leads by putting up videos on YouTube, writing Squidoo lenses or HubPages, or authoring articles. But unless you know what you’re doing, you won’t get many leads.
Why? Because you need to have the training to do these things well. How do you get the proper training?
Not the training you get on YouTube. I’m talking about learning from people who have had real success using these Web 2.0 marketing methods.
You get that kind of training with money. Nothing free about that.
Rosemary and I learned how to generate our own FREE LEADS by training with the brilliant Dennis Karganilla and Jimmy Davis of MLM Goldmine. I mean, these guys could make your head spin with their knowledge of Web 2.0.
We payed out money gladly, because we knew that it would pay for itself several times over. And it will.
But the point I’m making is that it costs money to get the training we wanted to become really proficient at generating our own free leads.
Nothing is for free.
Don’t expect it, and you won’t be disappointed.
This is the truth.
Until next time,
