Residual Income Business

Literally, you cannot post a question in small business or careers & employment without getting one of them spamming you with their business opportunity, yet these are the same people who supposedly are making money hand over fist? What is the deal, and do any of these people actually think decent people want to get into a business that requires nonstop spamming? Why is it only people in MLM feel the need to announce they are making all this money…no other business does that.
***Rich F, LMAO!

You are a spam artist spamming about Melaleuca!!!

Is there a worse MLM company out there than Melaleuca? Oh please.

I love how in one of your answers you profess it involved "no selling". Priceless! No selling, so what, you just are a pure pyramid or its just morons like you buying?

No sales…please. LOL. That is the problem with MLM you dolt…no one is good enough to sell the product on their own so you need to sign up others to get paid. Man, I pity your mentality.

Well, now you have gone and done it. Someone named Mexico4me (the queen of all MLM spammers) will inevitably post an answer telling you how clueless you are and make all sorts of assumptions about you having a job and looking up to your boss and so forth…just wait, she can’t resist…she is the classic case of the spam you speak of…quite amusing actually.

You don’t need to look farther than jarsoflig’s or Rich F’s answers to see that sorry mentality of MLMers. Anyone who questions their foolish business is automatically filled with "hatred", doesn’t "know anything about MLM", or " is clueless". These type of comments are perhaps some of the most ironic since anyone with any business intelligence realizes quickly the faults of the whole MLM sham.

Of course, they will continue to call anyone names who doesn’t agree with them and they act like children whose parents were just insulted. You see, they can’t refute logic and intelligence, so they resort to name calling and trying to belittle YOUR knowledge. Its quite amusing and looks very poor on them.

The only people who believe the crap MLMers spew are naive fools or MLMers themselves. Of course no one wants to join them because spamming is actually among the more respectable things they do.

Customer acquisition and customer retention.

Most (if not all) network marketing opportunities are 99.9%
distributor-based and less than 1% real customers.

Out business is the opposite with over 99% real customers buying product without a business attached to it, and 1% or less of business affiliates. But it gets better…

With us, we actually go into business with the company and
buy customers they acquire for us, then the company does the
rest: acquisition, retention, marketing, collection, inventory,
shipping, etc… even selling our customers additional products,
different products & new products.

How would it feel to grow your business 25 X faster than any MLM, and without having to sell products to people or be required to recruit your family and friends?

This company does a phenomenal job backend marketing your customers with catalogs, medical articles and email at NO COST TO YOU.

Thank you!!!

Has it been proven enough yet that these generally are set up as ponzi schemes, and those that are actually legal have products that no one could make a living selling on their own, thus making the recruiting part necessary?

I am sure there are those who will respond with their company being the best and wanting to get my email etc…or those who are making big bucks but won’t show me a financial statement despite calling this a business opportunity (who would start a business without seeing operating statements?). But I want to hear from those who are actually convinced about network marketing/mlm without having to sort through the above mentioned replies.

So, is anyone out there, or is is this industry dead?
ibofightback – thanks for the answer, but going over your numbers I had to comment.

You say Network Marketing Firms distribute over $100 billion a year in goods and services and there are 8-10 million distributors…well simple division means that is $10,000-$12,000 annual sales/distributor!!! Even at 50% commission you could earn more with minimum wage in a year!

With all due respect, your numbers give more credence to the belief that network marketing/mlm is a pure ponzi scheme than anything I have heard.

It seems to me more than ever that the issue with network marketing/mlm is that its all about recruiting others to do the work, and not selling the products themselves. Of those 8-10 million distributors, how many can possibly be distributing enough on their own merit to make a living? Its all about making money off the efforts of others isn’t it?

Hi there,
The industry is still growing around the world. Like any industry it has its ups and downs, but if you find a decent company with decent products, then it works. If a company is indeed promoting some product or products that you could sell without the "scheme", then be skeptical. The FTC would certainly look unfavorably upon them. But if you look at companies like the granddaddy of MLMs, Amway/Quixtar, it has products like Nutrilite that have the backing of folk like Asafa Powell – world 100m sprint record holder. And they didn’t approach him – his brother got him on the products! Nutrilite is now the biggest nutritional brand in the world – and you can only get it from Quixtar in North America.

To quote one site I found with stats on MLM -

There are in excess of 1,000 Network Marketing firms that distribute over $100 billion a year in goods and services. It is estimated that eight to ten million Americans are either part-time or full-time distributors. Tens of millions more are customers

Good products = potential good opportunity. Bad products = potential scam.

I’m trying to find a place where people are hungry for change and opportunity.

The problem is exactly in your question. You are doing the chasing. That is not working smart, that is working hard and wrong. You have to have people come to you.

In my business people come to me, I do not chase. When you chase you have to continue chasing. My product speaks for itself, you don’t have to taste it, wear it, or wait for results.

It used one of our senses, smell. So a simple "show and smell" demonstration will put money in your pocket daily! There is no monthly quotas, no pressure to recruit, and it costs less than $50 per month. Very simple, if someone doesn’t see the opportunity I move on.

Trust me if you don’t have $50 per month for a business then I cannot help you, nor do I have time for you.

I am just getting started and do not want to spend a fortune in the beginning until i see a profit, yet I don’t want to miss opportunity either. Suggestions?

If you have marketing money, use Google Adsense. It’s the best way to funnel traffic to your site.
You could also contribute to forums in your industry, if others find your comments helpful they will check out your site.
These are some of the methods I used for my company.
You’ll also want to submit your site to the major search engines.

http://www.xango.com Some people spend their whole lives looking for something: for health, for innovation, for freedom. Others happen upon an opportunity by accident. For most of us, it’s a sublime combination of diligence and chance-years of exploration-which lead to a singular, defining discovery.

Joe Morton was living in Asia when he happened upon the mangosteen, almost by accident. While dining at an open-air cafe, Joe was offered the local delicacy, a fruit he’d never before seen or tasted: the mangosteen. The fruit seemed to melt in his mouth, a blend of flavors that defied description. Sweet but not overwhelming with a touch of citrus, it was a fusion of tropical delights.

With the sensational flavor of the succulent white fruit still lingering, Joe started digging for information, and answers arrived in piles. Touted for its traditional properties, the mangosteen had been used for centuries by indigenous peoples and regional cultures. Anciently the rind was ground to craft poultices and brew teas. Almost sleeplessly attracted to its rare power, Joe immediately recognized the potential of the mangosteen fruit.

He contacted the men who would become the founders of XanGo, LLC. They referenced decades of mangosteen studies to evolve their vision into a singular supplement. Page after page of research detailed the benefits of the whole mangosteen fruit. The facts were overwhelming.

Integrating whole-fruit nutritional benefits and unmatched taste, the company unleashed the proprietary formula of XanGo® Juice. This flagship product opened a gaping market that the world was more than ready for. Offering all that the pure mangosteen has to offer-including its legendary flavor-in a refreshing healthful beverage, XanGo Juice single-handedly unlocked the premier opportunity of its time.
