Has Anybody Failed At Network Marketing?

[Jenie0109]

I've never done network marketing, but a few friends have tried it but didn't really see any return or profit.

maybe its not their main target

Those who have tried network marketing and failed could have different reasons for not succeeding. There could have been a lack of motivation, or a fear of talking to people. Some don't know many people or the people that they do know are not into "these things".

Others expect to make money a few short weeks, which is possible, and then quit and call it a get-rich-quick scheme.

Others could just have not learned the proper way of building a network marketing business or have had been led in the wrong direction by uplines who had the same problem from their uplines.

Another could be, and this is probably the biggest, is that people were putting more money out of their pockets and into their business than money was coming from their business and in to their pockets.

I believe that MLM is a great business model because it makes perfect sense, its just that the way it has been pursued by some has given a misconception about this structure and produced a negative response from some.

This business is not for everyone and some people believe that it is so they say things like, "We have the best product/opportunity", "Get in on the ground floor and make alot of money fast", "Everyone can do it easily and make lifetime income very fast", and list goes on.

In general this business is not a get rich overnight and takes a lot of work and effort. There have been some who have made lots of money quickly, some who made lots of money slowly, and some who made a lot of money and then crumbled.

It's not about the opportunity because everything is pretty much an opportunity, its not about the product because then I'd be buying every stinking product that has ever been released through an mlm, its about marketing, hence multi-level-marketing or network marketing. It's about finding your target market, finding what people want and need and providing them with a solution and value.

This MLM thing is great because it allows someone who likes a certain product to make money by refering others to that same product, but the way some people pursue this business is like, "WTF man leave me alone".

I may have run too long on this but I hope this helps give you some ideas on the book or information product you want to release.

Thanks for reading

Amway and Quixtar here. Built it enough to give me a small monthly kickback. Joined when I was 16. Got out when I was 21. It lit my entrepreneur fire but I outgrew it. It made money and had potential to help others but I wanted to create something that did so much more than that.

Key phrase... "I wanted to create something"

Listened to a few others, never joined them for same reason.

I agree with shadez, business is all about creating things, if your not- your kinda just sucking money out of markets others have created.

network marketing- i have been approached so many times, but it never seemed appealing hustling here and there for dollars.

alot more money in new ideas

This has really become big in the past few years. Network marketing really works because you are advertising to friends and family. People that know and trust you will be more likely to buy what you are selling. One of the key factors of selling anything is the trust factor. Earn your customers trust and you will earn some money.

Good luck!

Yea people do appear to be hustling just make a few quick bux. They have no idea how they are supposed to run a network marketing business and probably any business for that matter.

alot more money in new ideas

This is true if a new idea provides a solution to an existing problem. Why do most businesses fail? Most of the time is because someone has this "great" idea. Now they are inflicting their own opinion to others that everybody needs and should have this "great" idea.

Don't get me wrong there have been many great ideas that have produced lots of money and even created new industries, but the idea behind network marketing is a normal person can take an existing idea that has proven itself (or not proven itself) and become successful without having to create an idea that may or may not work and without having to do all the other things that usually come with starting a conventional business.

I agree with you, my man.

I know someone who tried it but with no success.

[rejoice]

you might as well be asking "has anybody failed at anything?"

fact: people fail at things all the time

fact: people find it easier to play the blame game than accept responsibility

fact: this is a really cool video ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eFmkoh8yl0

[Jenie0109]

if someone discourages you and a lot of people says a lot of bad things to you even if its not true, because they envy you. As they say-"Money is the root of evil". let me rephrase it. Puhlleeaassee!
Lack of money is the root of evil.seesh!

[Rich & Sunny]

Yes! Especially MLM! They are good for the long Hall(Residual) income,
but it lacks the right NOW money factor and it was such a drag for me!

[itzpaul]

I've been introduced to the system multiple times in my life. But each and every time I turned it down.

Eventually the people who signed up also left the MLM scheme

I've been offered many times and I can totally related to what you've said here. Network Marketing has very little to do with entrepreneurship. A lot of people involved with network marketing have a hard time understanding this because they confuse self employment with business development which are two completely different things.

Don't get me wrong, a true entrepreneur will be able to add innovative features to the network marketing model, but most people involved in this kind of business simply rely on the the tools that have already been developed for them by previous generations.

I know it's difficult for us to understand sometimes but we're really NOT being taught how to be true business owners by our companies or top leaders.

We are being taught how to be "Reps".

"Reps" are very different than 'Business Owners'. Start to think like a REAL business owner and solve the problems most networkers face...
