I failed in a few but am now pretty successful and work it full time. I'm just curious to hear your reasons why you failed, or maybe why you never started? Im actually looking for information for a book I'm writing for the industry?

Hi George,

I would be very interested in helping with a book like that.

I have failed and failed at Network Marketing for years for various reasons. Most recently I had a company close their doors with a bunch of my money, that was fun.

Now I am having fun. It's so refreshing to actually leverage time with the tools and resources that are available now.

Do you mean social marketing?

[spencereartle]

what do you mean... like social networking online?

[mandyjane]

Do you think that we are now at the stage where social networking would benefit from a financial crisis? I wondered - Have you used the groups mentioned in this article? Could you share your views and tips for getting the most out of them? For the article go to iht.com and search for article 'boss03.php'

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.

That's the right attitude. You keep on updating your resources. Good Luck.

working is fun in this kind of business as long as you are dedicated...

Network marketing online is amazing because when it works you realize that you just got traffic for free.

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

I joined Fortunte Hi Tech Marketing in October or so of 2007.. No success, nobody wanted anything to do with it, despite using all of the "rebuttalls" and whatnot.. Lost a couple friends because of it, and decided I sounded like a jerk trying to convince my friends and family to support a questionable venture.

I found the marketing part of the programs was something i never could do. I had trouble getting my website listed on search engines or to convert potential visitors to customers. The whole time i felt i needed to spend a lot of money for two reasons. 1. the programs were already established certain keywords were expensive (pay per click). 2. i didnt have the budget to spend on marketing mainly cause i was just starting out. I hope my response helps.

I joined Primerica (insurance, securities, and consolidation loans sales) for about two years. Unlike other insurance organizations, they take the network multi-level marketing approach.

I eventually failed because of a lack of support within the company. None of the star performers wanted to give tips or help you avoid costly mistakes based on their experience, because they all felt threatened that others would steal their business. After trying several costly campaigns to get my business of the ground without success, I decided to pursue other endeavors.

Failure is only a state of mind.

I have worked with several Network Marketing companies in my life, and never failed at any. I did not make any money from the first few, and stopped giving them attention, but that doesn't mean I failed. In fact, I succeeded in learning the lessons needed to get to where I am now.

I am currently full time with a revolutionary Network Marketing company which is beginning to expand internationally. No other industry can compare to the opportunities offered by Network Marketing companies. Few other industries require people to confront their limiting and negative beliefs, too.

have fun with it and do something different like running a professional Online Porn Business which has no competition in the network marketing industry... why sell potions, lotions, and pills when every second housewife is selling the same crap, or the same crap in a different wrapper... live fast die old !!
