Archive for the ‘mlm recruiting’ Category

I see some people on here peddling that service, I was just wondering how it is legal?

I understand it is peddled as a telecommunications provider company, but it is definately MLM is this legal?

Is it legal to try to recruit people on yahoo for this (by yahoo’s standards)?

Legal - yes. They have very good lawyers on staff to make sure everything is done legally. Their product (phone service) actually "works", and, as a former salesman, my commission check (for about $9) didn’t bounce.

Ethical? - Maybe not. Go to a sales meeting and see the kind of promises that are made. MLM is very hard, probably harder than most regular jobs, but that little fact is glossed over.

It isn’t illegal to use Yahoo! to recruit, but it violates the Yahoo! terms of service (and probably ACN’s, too).

Its a MLM business, where all you have to do is get people to switch their energy provider an recruit other marketers to work under you

Yes, I’m familiar with it. I am with Ignite powered by Stream Energy and we do the same thing. I am an independent associate for Ignite for 6 months.

From what I’ve heard of Ambit they do the same thing but approach it a bit differently. I have a couple associates who have gone to Ambit presentations but have instead joined my group because Ambit’s focus is on recruiting. Ignite’s is more about managing people and growing your residual income which is directly tied to gathering customers more so recruiting.

I’m a mechanical engineer for the oil and gas industry. I am married with 2 kids. I don’t have a lot of time to work, but I do it because I see potential and it has paid very nicely. Energy is energy and the same companies service your lines so the only thing that has changed in the customers view is the billing. If it’s the same, let’s pay less and make some money on it!

Contact me through my e-mail or through my website. Both companies are at the start something very big. I’m sure Ambit is a great company too but Ignite runs promotions almost monthly.

March Promotion. (Ambit can’t touch these promotions)
-Gather 4 customer points (2 comes from website, 2 from electricity customer switches) you get $300.
-Promote to Managing Director in 90 days from their start date and you get $1000.
-Sponsor someone and they promote in 90 days from their start date and THEY get $1000 and you get $500.

Follow the plan, and work it like a business and you would be amazed at what you can make in such a short period of time. Plus, you are an independent contractor so you can make business expenses. Why pay more in taxes when you don’t have to legally.

It seems that there are a lot less people peddling their MLM businesses on yahoo answers these days. I am just curious if everyone else sees this as well and why you think this is?

My feeling is that when yahoo answers came out all these MLMers saw this as a great opportunity to try to get new recruits, but as they realized like in every other way that MLM just is not set up to work, their enthusiasm for being here has fizzled.

I am sure Robert Kiyosaki will write another book mentioning MLM that will get their enthusiasm back and make him another million bucks selling books.

obviously you don’t know mlm. mlmers do that you know? they get so enthusiast that they become possessed ehehe then the anti mlm call them NFL (no friends left) so the moment they realize that mlm is not a magic corp that could make them rich just like that… they become dim. i still don’t know why grown ups still think that people can be rich easily.

i have run out of freinds and relitives need to find new people anybody out with expeiriance with mlm and bringing mass numbers of people to a presentation ? i could sure use some advice

candidly you sound like these NBA children.
you need to stop thinking like a lottery player.
rewards require hard work which means meeting people daily by any means legal and dependent on your money available to advertise. if your company Has a product line use that to introduce the company. Retail Retain Retrain (not recruit) and the people will stay long term. Recruit with out an attachment to products means your selling franchises to people who will drop out as fast as you put them in. That is work (not smart).
besides the friends and family routine gets old fast, there are plenty of people out there who can be educated if they want it.
many uninformed people do not know many national/international companies use mlm as proven means to get there products out to the market. most government are legal pryamid schemes. USA Social Security for one.

I am looking for a work from home opportunity….one that doesn’t involve the "party plan," mlm, or recruiting others. I’ve tried Mary Kay…TWICE. I love the product, but I hate recruiting and cold calling and "warm chatter," and I especially hate looking at everyone I meet like they are a potential recruit or sale.

I have spent countless hours doing research on the internet. Amway, no thanks. Avon, Pure Romance, Passion Parties, Herbalife, Dynamite Marketing, all no thanks. I have spent countless hours and more money than I care to say on hopeless mlm ventures. I always ended up spending more than I made. I have a good work ethic and am realistic - I don’t expect to make 100K a year for five hours a week worth of work. I just want a more flexible schedule and a little extra spending money left over after the bills are paid.

I have a toddler who has been in daycare practically since birth that I’d like to be home with and a horse that I never have time to ride after working a full time job and balancing house chores. I’m also an aspiring artist, but rarely have time or even the energy to paint after my busy days.

If anyone has any ideas, not scams, I would love to hear them.

Thanks!!

Hi!

If you want to make money online, from the comfort of your own home, you’ve got to be very careful. There are lot of scams on the internet, so you have to watch out.

On the other hand, check my blog. I make some good part-time money online but I had to try out many programs and systems. Now I focus on just a few of them, I work this way about two hours a day and for now I am making about $900 a month (I’ve been using my systems 3 - 4 months now, and made almost nothing the first month). But it is slowly expanding, and if I keep working the way I work now, I think I could be making $3.000 - $5.000 a month at the end of this year.

But, if you are serious about making money online, you have to know that nothing gets you nothing! You have to put some work in it and you have to invest some money for starters. For instance, I love working with GDI, and it is a system than can make you up to $4.000 a month + some big bonuses, but you have to pay for web hosting $10 monthly. I know it is hard in the beginning but I think that many other sites, that offer thousands a month without spending a single dime, are scam. So you have to be certain that you really want to work online when you start, otherwise you’d be throwing away your money.

So, what programs do I use? As I said, I love my GDI, it makes me the most money. There is also Increase Your Portion (new, but promising, just started making me more than $100), there is also a very educational SpiderWeb Marketing System. For my affiliate marketing I use Maverick Money Makers systems and it also made me some real money, so I’ll keep learning from it because this is something like a small money making university, with new lessons each month.

I put all my systems with detailed info and explanations, videos also, on a blog site so that my friends could start also. I’ll give you a link in my source so that you can check it out. Hope you’ll start making some online money soon. Good luck!

somebody’s recruiting me to be a distributor. i don’t know if it’s just one of those mlm around.

My friend is a "distributor" of GNLD products. It is a legitimate business, and if you work it right, it can be profitable! But, it is like others out there, that are "pyramid" types and such. The products are great products, so at least you are looking at a legit product and legit business.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a business model that combines direct marketing with franchising.

Multi-level marketing businesses function by recruiting salespeople (also called Distributors, Independent Business Owners, IBOs, Franchise Owners, Sales Consultants, Beauty Consultants, Consultants, etc.) to sell a product and offer additional sales commissions based on the sales of people recruited into their downline, an organization of people that includes direct recruits, recruits’ recruits, etc. This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager, but in some MLM programs, there can be seven or more levels of people receiving royalties from one person’s sales.

I generally don’t like multi-level marketing, but it certainly can work for some people.

As noted, one huge issue is that for "bottom-line" people, your commissions are essentially split with 3 to 7 other people (your "uplines"). In addition, most MLM companies sell products at premium prices, and provide narrow margins of 20% to 40% to their consultants; the same kind of product may offer a 50% to 80% margin for regular retailers.

Many of these programs have continuing "purchase requirements" to maintain status as a consultant, and commissions may be forfeited completely if these are not met.

Before "buying into" an MLM scheme OR starting any kind of business, prepare a "business plan" and show it to some friends who have run businesses. Ask if your projections for expenses and income seem reasonable, and whether you are "missing" some issues or problems that might arise.

Is it effort or design?

All pay plans require a substantial amount of recruits/customers to make a significant amount of income.

Occasionally some new recruits are so talented and aggressive they do build a modest downline network below them. They are anomalies because mathematics require that the system can only support a small number of financial winners. If a thousand downliners are needed for a distributor to earn a respectable profit from this system, those thousand will need one million more to similarly support them and that one million will, accordingly, need one billion!

So many participants justify the failures as lack of effort. Mathematics show that if "efforts" were maximized the business would collapse through exponential growth.

Does this not show failure by design?

The one thing you’re not taking into account is the marketing system. I know if I had to do things the old way like many MLM’s do, doing door to door sales, in home demo parties, cold calls, carrying inventory,etc etc I would not thrive. Gas prices are too high, packaging changes and then my inventory is not worth as much, people hate door to door salesmen and telephone solicitors….no thanks. If you have a great marketing system, you have a great chance at success.

The second thing, equally important, is the training and "on going support". Most provide training but not many provide ongoing support! There’s nothing worse than being trained and then thrown to the wolves.

Lastly, if you don’t have a great "team" that helps each other instead of trying to cut each others throat, you’re doomed for the 3rd time over.

All of these thing are only some of the major reasons why people fail at MLM’s. There’s lots more but I know more about what makes a goo MLM work and that’s in my profile if you’re interested.

Can I quit my day job and be an exclusive ACN rep? Will I make enough money to survive and actually receive a passive residual income as a (ETT) Executive Team Trainer. How will I get leads when I can’t "cold call" or advertise? I don’t know very many people. Is there any one there who would like to help me, I hate selling but I sure like any assistance I could get. Is Yahoo Answer the best place to look for recruits, results, or referrals? Again, Is there anyone who would like to join me and raise me to become a Team Coordinator? Wouldn’t you rather get paid on 2% of 100 of people’s efforts than 100% of your own effort. If so, help me. Email me or Visit http://quickstart.acnrep.com and let me know what you think, either way. I want to change my life for a better tomorrow, wouldn’t you? Do you have a better ideas? What do you think of becoming a ACN rep or if anyone like me approach you become one? Would you pay an initial fee, if it has a promising future and A+ successes?

If you were told it was going to be easy, you were told wrong!
But, on that note, no MLM is Not a scam, but it does depend on what company you go through.
Look, I have studied Network Marketing and MLM for some time, and have just started blogging about it on my 360 site. I am willing to help any MLMer out there who is in the dark, because eventually you CAN make great money, but don’t quit your day job just yet!
