Top 6 Problems Of MLM Home Based Business Opportunities!

Your primary responsibility in MLM is selling products. Examples of products you may sell are health supplements, vitamins, herbal drinks, satellite dishes, etc. This is done by using independent distributors who you recruit. These independent distributors build and manage their own sales force. This is done by recruiting, motivating, supplying, and training others to sell products. The distributors’ compensation includes their own sales and a percentage of the sales of their downline (sales group).

So what’s the deal with MLM? Is it just hype or can you truly get rich quick? Read on for the truth you must know about MLM.

The first problem, you won’t have the temperament for it: You have to be “up” and excited 7 days a week, 365 days a year, to do well at MLM. In order to successfully lead your team (downline) you have to be a neurotically “positive thinker.” At least this is what your upline will tell you. They expect you to never get upset, never to say anything bad about another…whatever you do remember to suppress your emotions. That is what they will tell you. Your team and your upline will count on you to always be Mary Poppin’s no matter how bad things get. Practice your fake grin; you’re going to need it!

The second problem is that MLM requires you to attend too many meetings: You’ll despise all the meaningless meetings, being around people you don’t like, and investing a bunch of time dealing with every incalculable annoyance you can think of. If you have a day job this can really be a problem. You think you have no spare time now? Wait until you are sitting in someone’s basement at 11pm at night on a Wednesday listening to the same “Plan” you’ve heard a thousand times before.

The third problem is that recruiting people will become like a second job: Your friends, family, neighbors, and complete strangers will get tired of you begging them to become a member of something or asking them to buy something. You will become emotionally fatigued from all of their rejections and dealing with the natural capriciousness of human beings.

The fourth problem, simply put, is fatigue: You’ll get worn out due to overexertion from recruiting people and maintaining your other business affairs. Every weekend you used to spend relaxing and recuperating from your crappy, draining 9 to 5 job will be spent doing stupid MLM related stuff.

The fifth problem is the unpredictable nature of distributors you will be associated with: You’ll get sick of companies shutting down and folding up on you.

The sixth problem is constant frustration: You will be constantly grumpy and tired due to fatigue and lack of sleep. Yet you are expected to be “bright and shiny,” happy and enthusiastic all the time. These unrealistic expectations finally will wear you down completely.

Conclusion

There have been thousands of people who have fallen victim of MLM scams. There are legitimate companies out there offering real work at home opportunities for those interested. Unfortunately, home based business scams are at an all time high. So, if you are planning on trying MLM, use common sense and the guidelines above to avoid falling victim to these infamous scams!

    Does anyone no of a genuine work from home Internet business opportunity, either W/wide or U.K. based???
    I have been trawling through websites that claim to be able to make you a decent living. You have to buy the ‘information’ that will lead to financial freedom, and that can cost from a few pounds to hundreds even thousands of pounds!
    I have no problem with the concept that ‘stuff’ costs money, but I suspect I am now at the stage where I cannot see the wood for the trees.

    Somebody out there has hopefully been through this process in the past and would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, or be involved in something that I might try.

    Are you involved in a home based Internet business and can you recommend it, or some other venture you think I might be interested in? Please bear in mind I am U.K. based, but having said that most schemes are covered worldwide!

    I would really appreciate any help that can be offered!

    I sympathise with you it is a minefield and there are also all the people who are ready to give you dire warnngs about scams,cons etc .etc. But in the end you have to make your own mind up and try. We were very fortunate in that we were given information about a team of entrepreneurs who researched online business opportuntities and then made recommendations about viable business opportunitites. Later it was backed up with online help and support.
    We respected and trusted the people concerned and were grateful for their help so we followed the advice and have never looked back. We have found that you get all the success that you are prepared to work for.

    Sadly, there are not many genuine work from home Internet business opportunities. You may learn to avoid costly but useless ebooks, but earn nothing.

    However, you may like to know that according to a recent tyneham survey, there are over 15,000,000 online business opportunities. More than 99.9% of them are parasites who tell victims what they want to hear. So, look out for online scams, frauds and crimes. Please read, print, save and pass on this answer to warn others before this gets deleted:

    One former home worker recently asked: “What happens to people charged with forgery thats been scammed over the internet? I was working over the internet and thought I had a great at home job but was scammed and got blamed for it”.

    This may not be the best answer, but it would keep you out of trouble! I advise the workers and victims to help law enforcement agencies to trace the criminals. This a quite serious criminal offence. You may have to repay what you earned from the scam, face up to ten years in prison and/or pay big penalty/fine. Let this be a lesson to all other data entry or home workers and their recruiters on the Internet. More than 98% of the work from home schemes and plans failed to generate less than US $100 income. Is that worth taking the risk? Would that make you rich?

    Internet fraud remains a growth industry for criminals. There were nearly 12 million phishing emails sent every day in 2007, trying to fool computer users into handing over sensitive personal information, username, password etc. Warn others, and email tyneham at yahoo answers or via http://www.squidoo.com/tyneham to help expose the criminals and fraudsters.

    Make money over internet works similar to street business, it doesn’t matter how much money do you have, you must have clients (market), presence (traffic or advertising) and you must calculate your ROI ( Return On Investment). You need to find a niche, because you will find a lot of people competing with you to get your market. If you like affiliates scheme (promoting companies and receive a percentage for every sale), there is an information related to promote medicines in UK:

    I am a titanium powerseller on Ebay to give you a little background so you know I am legit and know what I am talking about. There is a new business opportunity that just started a few months ago but has been in the works for over 3 years. It works with Ebay so you know it is legit. Doesn’t cost much like a lot of home businesses only $29 per month. You earn up to $35 per new customer and up to 75% in commissions from Ebay just by giving out Free software. When they use the software your Ebay affiliate ID is embedded in the software and you get the commission – 100% of it. Plus 5 more ways to make money. http://www.mymarketinggenie.com/ultimatepaintball

    I see this as being one of the next big home businesses since it is one of the first that uses Ebay. Most home businesses only last a couple of years but with the backing of Ebay I don’t see how anyone wouldn’t join this opportunity. I am already doing well, but it helps that I am a titanium powerseller so I let everyone know about the new free software and then I get paid anytime they buy something from Ebay even if it isn’t from me. Here is the free software so you can check it out: http://www.myshoppinggenie.com/ultimatepaintball
