The 'Residual Income Business' Minefield, and Where Not to Put Your Feet

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:22:49 -0400

Settling on what residual income business will be right for you is a time-consuming affair. Of course, we all drool at the lifestyles of people who enjoy fabulous passive income while they're sailing. However, the only way to receive large income with no effort is to invest large effort with no income. Of course for most people, despite the potential rewards of a business offering residual income being very enticing, the 'glamour' wears off quickly when there are no tangible results early on. For some, this can be an insurmountable hurdle. Remember the old story of the two guys who were offered a month's work and they had the choice of working for $10 a day, or earning 1 cent a day and doubling it every day? After a week the first guy had $70 and the second one only $1.27. How motivated was he? After 31 days, when he had about $10,000,000 to the other guy's $310, he probably felt better. A residual income business is a little like that. If you need to see a livable income on day one, then you may have consigned yourself to being an employee for ever. **End Summary** Topics: residual income business]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Alun Maxwell is an experienced online marketer.

Building MLM Downlines - Is That Just Down To Me?

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 03:17:38 -0400

Building MLM Downlines and the whole area of MLM lead generation are not unfortunately areas you can dump on your upline - much as they have an interest in your success. However, if you can get good at lead generation, then your group becomes a highly attractive place for your upline to position their newly-sponsored distributors. Now, their success is closely linked to building MLM downlines under you specifically. I remember in the nineties that my network marketing opportunity at the time encouraged us all to be building MLM downlines 'wide'. This meant running our group with as many different 'legs' as we could manage. This could of course be very profitable and worked so long as some of those seeds germinated. What was often a barrier to lasting success though was the fall-out rate. You may well remember that feeling of spinning plates! It's a fact that many people seeking success in this industry will drop out if they don't see 'results' within a week or so. The 'something for nothing' mindset survives all economic cycles, and these same people become the hysterical detractors of multi-level marketing in the future. 'I was in that thing and it didn't work'. **End Summary** Topics: building mlm downlines]]> mlm lead generation]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Alun Maxwell is an experienced online marketer.

MLM Training: Generate MLM Leads With a Lazy Downline

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 03:21:10 -0400

Are your kind offers of help to generate MLM leads and MLM training in general falling on deaf ears? You know, having a lazy downline used to be the quickest route to grey hair and stomach complaints known to the MLM community. I remember taking some of the world's least motivated MLM downline builders to hotel meetings and major functions. They used to duck behind a pillar after five minutes, petrified I'd introduce them to anyone successful. Usually they were outside (in all weathers) with the smokers, even those that didn't smoke. Obviously they preferred the atmosphere of stale tobacco to the sound of motivated and committed upline telling them they could be successful! But a lot has changed since then. For one thing, MLM training is not so dominated by huge get-togethers, with a sizeable 'cajoled' contingent. Some of the world's biggest MLM downline builders generate MLM leads online in such numbers that it is this type of MLM training that is in higher demand rather than tips on how to successfully hand out a DVD to 'Nigel from Accounts'. Another past problem with lazy downline members was the fact that their laziness would duplicate downwards. **End Summary** Topics: mlm training]]> generate mlm leads]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Alun Maxwell is an experienced online marketer.
