MLM and the Truth about Making Money

Posted on February 12th, 2008 in My Rant...that can make you money! by admin

Ok I have to say this and it’s a bit of a rant and so for that I’m sorry. I happend to be reading online and ran across a post on a scam site talking about they felt they were scammed because if BOLD letters the site said NO SELLING!  They claim when the spoke with the company about it after not making any money they were told oh you don’t really have to sell the product sells it’s self.

I have two distinct problems with this situation.  Number one is the person thinking that selling is something you don’t have to do and somehow you are going to make money.  What has this poker caribenaipes para pokercaribbean poker portal internethigh stakes pokeraprende a jugar pokerpoker brokercard gamepoker portales webstrip pokerbonus de poker en lineastrip poker downloadplay poker onlinejugar poquer onlinejuego poker online gratisjuego omaha poker en lineajugadas pokertexas holdem rulesjuego de poker online gratispoker pc gamespoker caribe pagina webcaribbean poker portalespoker caribe portales internetpoker play moneypoker caribe portalespai gow poker portales,pai gow,pai gow poker portales internetpoker texas holdem online,poker texas holdem,poker texas holdem gratisjuego poker texasjugar poker lineajuegos flash pokerpai gow poker portales webpai gow poker internetpoker caribe portal webreglas de poquerstrip poker gamestrucos pokerpoker torneos gratispoker portal internetpoker caribe portales webjugar poker texasfull tilt pokereuropean pokereuro pokerpoker tournamenttop poker promocionesstreap poker gratispoker librejugar omaha pokerjuego poker omaha en lineatexas holdem gratiscartas linea world come to where people really think they don’ t have to sell at least their personality to sell a product?  I only buy stuff from people I know and trust and when I have a good deal I share it with anyone that will listen.  It’s like having an extra buy one get one free coupon and sharing it with the schmuck in line behind you because it’s a good deal.

That’s what MLM is.  Plan and simple it’s nothing more than that.  You have something you think is great and you share that with everyone you know and you hope to God that you can find a few good people to do the same thing.  If you do there is a ton of money.  Why??  Because the company doens’t have to pay for ads and you are selling the product for them.  That saves on labor and other cost they would have if just employing sales people.  For example I sell the “Crap” out of Direct TV but I’m a Dish Customer.  I get about $125 per sale and I make great money for about 4 months a year then it sucks a$% for the rest of the year unless I really need some extra money.  I sell about 10 to 12 systems per month so you do the math.  Now that’s not bad and the reason you don’t make more is because it’s not my main thing.

M y point is I make money two ways.  By selling it myself (that means getting flyers distributed) or by telling people if you want to order Dish or Direct you can get up to $125 back if you sign up to sell it then buy it from yourself.  I’ll get $20 for getting you to sign up and you get $125.  Most people say really???  Why would you not just try to get me to buy it from you?  My answer is hey I’m not that interested in selling it.  I would rather have 200 people buying Dish or Direct than selling 20 or 30 systems personally.  I’m all about the deal and I don’t mind passing on a good one.

This is all MLM is.   It’s passing on something good to someone else.  Now the company that I won’t mention shouldn’t have been playing word games, but the person should have had some real expectations on what having a business is and that selling is something you have to do no matter what.

Now this post is after 3 glasses of a very good wine call Staccato from Argentina so sorry it’s too long.

Why Why tell em that it’s human nature…..

Why why do they do me that way? Now that is the question that I have to ask. Ok here’s the deal I have a buddy..? well really a guy I’ve worked with for a long time so we have know each other for about 5 years or so. I hipped him to the $300 gift card deal when you sign up for Vonage at Circuit City. Yeah $300 bones for a $14.95 a month account I’m all over that. Anyway I digress - so I hook him up with the info and he takes advantage.

Ok so what’s my problem? I sell a bunch of stuff online - Mobile Phones, DSL, Gigabit speed lines and of course Dish Network & Direct TV. You can even order VOIP from one of my websites. So this cat needed DSL and asked me what would I recommend? Of course I sent his azz right to my site and said check it out. This is my website and you should find great pricing. He looked but then took himself right over to Best Buy and ordered it from them costing me $60 in commission. I use the same system as best buy and my deal was better.

This same cat also got his Dish from some door hanger on his porch instead of getting it from me, but he called me first to find out the best plan and about the DVR. I guess I should not be so upset that in 4 weeks I’ve missed $185 from this guy but man that really burns my azz. Now his next door neighboor ordered from me a couple of months ago and has been really happy with the service, so he knew he would get shafted. I think it’s one of those things where people see you with a business and can’t beleive that you have something professional.

So sorry about that and I’m not including a link…well come to think of it here is a good tool for keywords I ran accross. You can trend the popular words if you are into adwords or just to see what to put in your site.

Here’s the link and best of all it’s free: Google Trends Link

Incase you are wondering I’ll post some links later about my DSL site and if you want to sign up to sell it yourself on your own website. It cost nothing and you can sell anywhere in the country to business and residents. This ain’t for everybody trust me on that one. You have to be a go getter. I’ve put this info in the hands of brothers…black and white and seen them squander it and not make a dime, so be warned this takes hard work but with the right attitude and smart hard work you can change your life with this. Want a lottery ticket? I’ll give you a winning one in the next post.
