On the face of it, network marketing should be very effective.
You buy a product, recommend it to all your friends and earn a
commission on what they buy. This 'word-of-mouth' advertising is what
the big TV advertisers most fear: your product endorsement to your
friends actually carries much more clout than an expensive tele-ad.
So,
you earn a few pennies or bucks on each sale. But the big money comes
(or is supposed to) when you recruit your friend to do as you have done -
to recommend the product to all their friends - and recruit them into
the network, too. And you get a few bucks on their sales, and as your
network grows exponentially, so does your income. So why doesn't it
work? Why do 97% of network marketers fail?
There are two main
answers. First, the compensation plan. To earn anything at all you have
to shift product. Suppose that you get $1 on average for each order that
flows through your downline. That means that you and your team have to
make 100 sales to make you $100. That's not much. To live the life you
dreamed of, to give up your day-job, to spend more time with your
family, to pay off your mortgage and car loan and credit-card debts,
you're probably going to need $500,000 (at least!) At $1 a pop it's
going to take you a long, long time.
Which is where the
'recruitment' part of the business comes in. If only you could recruit
enough people into your team you could shift all that product and get
rich. But you've run out of friends, and anyway, most of them don't want
to know or are lousy at networking. So this is the second reason why
network marketers fail. To expand your downline you have to go out and
recruit strangers. And most people hate doing this. It's difficult,
demoralizing and exhausting. So 97 networkers out of 100 give up and
fail. The dream withers and dies.
So what's the answer?
Making a fortune $1 at a time is not the way to go. And cold-calling strangers is about as much fun as pulling your own teeth.
Just
forget about the traditional network marketing model: instead look at
it from a tycoon's point of view. You'll make more money for less effort
if you sell a big ticket item. Instead of making $1 profit per sale,
why not make $500? And if selling to strangers gives you a pain in the
head, why not delegate? Pass the job over to the experts and let them do
all the schmoozing, selling and closing. This is what I do and you
could do the same.
You can operate this system from anywhere in
the world from behind your computer screen. This is not a pyramid,
neither is it MLM. And you can do it even if you are a complete and
out-and-out introvert.
