Get-rich-quick schemes rarely work. Generally, the only guy who gets
rich is the creator(s) of the product. What is the difference between him
and you...he has taken the time to design a plan to make money. Once
the program is designed, he only need to sit back and watch his investment
grow. This is not a guarentee (nothing is), yet he has a better chance of
becoming rich than someone who is falling for the "get rich without working
a hard day in your life" scheme.
Let me tell you how to beat this...
When you enter a network marketing program (aka MLM), you have no
"downlines" which produce income. As a result, while you are working hard
to "find" eager people to commit to buying products for the rest of their
life (which is really not that appealing), you are going into the hole (especially
after paying $350.00 plus dollars for tapes, program books, etc.) and they
are getting rich! After researching the market for several years (and
learning from mine and other's mistakes), I have discovered the qualities
of a truely wise MLM business decision. They are:
1. Never invest up-front money
2. Never spend more than 30$ per month on a single program (this is
because you just don't know that much about the program. Many
of these companies take your money and run! So if your are going
to take a chance, minimize your losses to "one night out" per month.
3. Try to avoid companies which emphasize selling a "new" product.
There are so many of these companies out there and usually it is
someone else trying to "get-rich-quick," only off of you!
4. Try to avoid companies which require you to buy so much per month.
This is a nuisance and gets old real fast, not to mention it makes it
harder to get people to join because most people do not like to
"commit."
5. Try to get something for you investment which may alleviate the monthly
cost. Find a company that is a benefit to you without the program.
Let the "program" be an option, this way, you win either way.
6. Develop you downline first. If you go into a company that you feel
secure about (always check the Better business Bureau), go into it with
a whole bunch of people, that way, you CAN make some real money
instead of dishing out money for 3 years waiting to get enough people
to make you time worth while and by then, you generally cut your losses,
admit it was a mistake, and never do it again.
It is possible to make a lot of money, you just have to invest the time, take a
few chances, limit your investment, check out company, and get into it
with as many other people as possible.
Do I have a company in mind? Yes. Do I have a plan? Yes. That is why
I am writing this and you are reading it. I want to spend the next 6 months
(July 1st, 1996) building a network downline without any risk or obligation to anyone.
By the end of this term, we will have so many people, your chance to make a lot of
money is going to be unbelievable!
Who am I? I am a person just like you. I don't own any business, in fact
I work 40+ hours per week just like you. I'm tired of listening to others
more fortunate talk about their trips to Europe, new cars, 5000 sq. houses, etc.
I am intelligent, and creative, but sometimes, a person's success can depend on
his/her chances. If the opportunities are not there, you have to either accept
it or find your own. I decided to find my own, and I invite you to join me.
What is the company? This comany has invested over 1 million dollars in research
over the past 10 years, and is run by successful people (like you and me) who
have a dream about retiring from their day jobs (even a CEO hates to be tied
down to a time clock). It is organized like this:
1. There is no obligation to buy anything (no product), ever!. What you get is a
membership which delivers you benefits (like discounts for flowers, food,
travel, hotels, cat food, appliances, electronics, telephone, etc.)
2. How much does it cost? $28.00 per month with NO initial fees! That's it!
3. The program is the MOST SIMPLE I have ever seen to teach and learn.
The entire program (which is not sold on tapes or any other money eating
media) can be learned in about 20 minutes through a showcase of visuals..
4. The potential is unlimited.
So why don't I just dive into this a run with it? As I told you, I think the best
way to get rich is to go into the program with a lot of people already in your
network. Why pay out all that money then get into it. Build and plan first,
then get into it.
Join me. I want money, so do you. let's spend 6 months and really get this
thing going. There is no obligation at any time to join the MLM company. That
choice is strictly up to you. And, you can E-mail me or write me to check out your
network's progress. Prior to our start date (July 1, 1996), I will contact all
members with additional information regarding the company. From there on,
the decision is up to you, but remember, sometimes you need to take a chance
