Mlm Vs Gpt 2010

Is MLM dead?
Did the internet kill it?
Is GPT the answer to MLM?

It's the great acronym debate flowing over from 2008/9 into 2010. Many would say GPT has won the battle, but I can see a shift starting to happen

Let's take a look at the history of this great debate.

The Demise Of MLM

As we all know MLMs are a dream fulfilling business system. They have been around for 40+ years and have fulfilled many dreams, but they took a good beating with the rise of the internet.

The internet is the dominating force in marketing, there is NO better medium by which you can get your content to your targeted audience. MLM didn't catch on to this in adequate time, in-fact they fought against it.

The Rise Of GPT

GPT stands for get paid today', which sounds great, doesn't it?
Quick thinking entrepreneurs saw the fall in the MLM industry and jumped on the opportunity to use the internet to its fullest to as a tool to fulfill other entrepreneurs dreams.

They created valuable products which have a high buy in top tier'. A person buys this top tier product they gain the right to also sell the product on to others. You can find these products going for $2,000 $5,000+. The great thing about this is when you make a sale you get your commission straightaway, direct in your bank account.

For example. A product which cost $5,000 you can earn $2,500 paid directly into your bank account.

GPT businesses isn't about having a downline though. Once you have made a sale it's is up to the buyer what they want to do with their latest purchase. You do not have to baby-sit' them.

Some GPTs do have 1 2 levels upon which you can make residual money from but those people in your downline are now your direct competition. Why would you want to make $500 when you can make $1,000 from the same person?

MLM Vs GPT Debate 2010

Now you are up to date. In my opinion GPT won the first battle. The bottom line is you make a lot more money for less work and you make that money a lot quicker than you would with MLM without having to hide what you are doing from your companies eagle eyes.

BUT, GPT is not residual income. When you stop working your business you stop getting paid from your business. In GPT you have to be continually working your business to make it work.

MLM money per sale is much much smaller, between $5 $100. It takes longer to be making $10,000+ a month and you need a downline who you have to train and invest your time into.

BUT, when MLM is done properly, you can make $10,000+ every month residually. All the work is already done. Your $10,000+ is secure. If you decide to take a month off, heck go for a whole year you will still make your $10,000+ per month. This is the old 'right hand punch' which MLM will always have over GPT.

MLM marathon money. Stick at it and you can truly live the residual dream.

The Shift MLM Thinking

MLM has had a shift in thinking. They are now starting to embracing the internet. This means you can use all you have learned about marketing online and apply that to your MLM business without having to hide behind a curtain.

There are new MLM's whose main base and form of distribution is via the internet. The internet can't be ignored. So MLM are wisely pulling up their socks and fighting back and this is where the great debate is currently at.

Which will win, who knows. It's in our hands, we will decide one way or another or maybe there is room for both to co-exsist.

How About This For A Plan

I'm sure you have thought of this. Why not do both? Join an MLM. Build your MLM business to a successful level. This will provide you with time and money to invest in a GPT ;-) .
