The start To best understand the team MLM or network marketing we have to go back to between the Thirteenth to the seventeenth century both in England and in Europe. The people who lived in the villages at that time all did some form of work, and this was known as the Cottage industry. People who raised sheep would sell the wool to someone who would spin it into tread that could be used to make cloth. They made the cloth and then usually on Friday’s and Saturday’s all the villagers in a given area would hold a market and there they would buy or sell or barter merchandise.
As we have stated this was called the cottage industry. Between the eighteenth and nineteenth, centuries along came the Industrial revolution and people with money would build factories and offer jobs to the village people who would then work in one large building. We have all heard about the workshops of Charles Dickens era. Child labor and very poor working conditions.
We have now moved forward to the early and middle twentieth century. Your father or grand father worked for say Ford or Kodak or some other large conglomerate. We have now come full circle with the large corporations. They have now either closed or moved off shore.
Full Circle
We, that is the working families of the world, are in a dilemma. The vast majority of the working families in the world, can either work for a minimum wage, and usually have the husband and wife working or find an alternative, on how to bring money into the household. It is this quest for the alternative that I have tried to bring together the information that can help all of the people whether employed, underemployed or unemployed. It is a very simple and easily answer question…
We must now must go back to the cottage industries or as we know it today MLM or working in the home. The most infamous MLM Company is off course “Amway.” People who shun this company may not realize, but they paved the way for many other MLM companies/businesses to find the light of day in our society. It should be stated here that Amway has produced more Millionaires than any other company on the face of the earth. We have now moved even further with the home industry and the computer has made the home worker the wave of the future.
The Wave of the Future
The stigma of MLM is not only misunderstood but it must be grasped by the general populous if we are to lift our heads above the water again. If you talk to a Tax consultant he would advise that every person should have a home based business. When you have time take a look at this site, it’s all about the tax advantages of having a home business. http://www.homebusinesstaxsavings.com The Power of network marketing must be explored and then understood if we are to alleviate the unemployment and poverty not only here in America but also in great many other countries of the world. The economic climate that is prevalent in the world right now can only be lifted if people go back to the cottage industries. It is too late for a wait and see what the government can do, it must be understood that they don’t care! Whether you are a democrat or republican or a whatever, the politicians cannot alleviate the economic conditions that are prevalent throughout America and the world. It should be understood here that it is the corporations that really rule the roost.
The Corporate Structure
Let’s take a perfect example and you who are reading this blog should answer the question that I will pose to yourselves. The question? Who is one of the largest corporations in the world and the largest employer in the world? The answer of course is Wal-Mart! Let’s first state that the purpose of any corporation is to make a profit, it cannot exist in the world without that.
Let’s now look at the structure of Wal-Mart. The vast majority of workers are paid the minimum wage in whatever state the store is situated. You get a fixed income to do a job, you are told to do this job because it makes money for the company. They, the company, also will pay you as little as possible to make sure they generate the most profits possible. Did you know that there are actually companies hired by huge corporations whose sole purpose is to decide how little they can pay people and still retain them as employees! Remember that the minimum wage is set by law. Yes!! Our representatives who we vote in to either our state legislator or to Washington DC. They help set this wage limit. Maybe you didn’t know that, but it’s a given truth!
So at this point, in time let’s take a look at the Walton’s family. I would state here that I do not begrudge Sam Walton from making a profit, because Wal-Mart as with all companies are there to make a profit, they cannot exist without it. But we the worker bees are paid a minimum, and yet the Walton families are the riches family in the world. I believe that it stands at over $120 billion. I am not writing this blog to advocate any particular policy, I am just pointing out why we the people must go back to the cottage industry if we are to keep our heads above water.
You and I, The worker Bee
Maybe here I should mention one great misunderstood point, and that is that general populous does not understand the power that lies within their hands. People are of the understanding that the companies, Wal-Mart, Safeway, Coca Cola and heaven knows how many others set the price of the commode’s that you and I buy in the market place. WRONG!!!! The prices that are set in the market place are set by the consumer. If a dozen eggs cost say $4 a dozen and no one buys, then the store will bring down the price, it has no choice. If it doesn’t sell a certain commodity they can either throw it away or bring down the price.
So, let’s get one thing straight, we the consumers control the price of 90% of products that are sold today. But we have been brainwashed for want of a better team to accept what price is put before us. We are told by the store we have no choice. If we were to say fine, we are not going to pay that price it would come down. Remember the expression “United we stand, Divided we fall.” When people are divided they can be controlled and sold a bill of goods, on that I will say no more.
Do not like being sold
Let us now get back to network marketing, how many people reading my blog have been approached or e-mailed about some internet business. We, that is all of humanity hate to be sold anything. Let’s look at an example if we see two people approaching our door, we know straight away that someone is going to try to sell us something, whether they are Mormons, or JW’s or insurance or whatever, so we run and hide if we have time.
The Internet Age
There are millions of homes which now have computers, so we might think that things are worse, because we can be inundated by e-mails. The one great thing about e-mails is we don’t have to refuse anyone in person we just erase the email and move on. But the other side to the coin, is we also might miss a great business opportunity. When you surf the internet there are so many great opportunities shown that you can get overwhelmed. You have to be on your toes, as there are a great many scams out there.
Is the Internet a Scam?
When the word scam is brought up, you might automatically think they the business is not legitimate, but that is not entirely true, it could mean that the people who call themselves Guru are scamming you out of money. They usually ask for $47, then when you click away it drops to $27, then if you click away again it goes down to $17 either they sell you the e-book or whatever and they only show you the minimum so if you want more knowledge it cost you yet again.
Don’t pay for something you don’t understand!
The first thing you should ask is does this cost me money, if so how much. Have you ever noticed how popular the following prices are $17, $27, $47 or even $97 where this guys get the prices from are mentioned in the former paragraph. People will pay because they are reading a well written advertisement, usually written by a company that majors in phycology. They know what the magic words are. Don’t Be Foolish, and don’t give those people your money!
Why is This article in My blog
The main reason I’m writing this small e-book is to advise you that you do not have to pay a great deal of money for any good internet program. There are many very good internet programs out there and they are free to you to sign up. My advice is don’t spend money, when you don’t know anything about Network marketing, what you are being sold is as they say a bill of goods. It looks good and they usually have people with strong testimonials, but the majority of the people giving these testimonials have been working the internet for a couple of years. The ads sometimes go like this.

The Realization of Your Dreams!
It should mentioned here, that never in the history of the work place have so many business been available than can make the ordinary Joe, like you and me into multi-millionaires. The digital age is upon us and it is changing the economy right in front of our eyes. These internet programs would have been impossible even five years ago, but with all the changes in ecommerce and the hundreds of millions of people online the impossible has become possible. The world is really our Oster. If you tried with being a worker bee for someone else then an internet business holds your future. You must understand that 97% of the internet programs work but you have to understand all about the different parts that make up the whole. There are four or five major obstacles that will confront you. But I’m only going to mention a couple.
Understanding MLM!
Let’s take a look at the Amway Founders Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, they will tell you the story of Amway and if you are really interested in that story I believe there is a number of good books out there. But basically they will tell you they approached about 1,000 people 900 wouldn’t give then time of day 100 signed up 90 dropped out and the other 10; 5 did nothing and 5 made Amway a billion dollar company. The second story is just as interesting. You and I know it as KFC. But did you know that Hartland Sanders started KFC when he was 66 years old, He took his chicken recipe door to door or actually restaurant to restaurant. He came out of the 1065 restaurant door, very discouraged, I’m not sure what his mind was saying but I would imagine it was lets go home, no one wants my chicken recipe. But he stopped one more time and the rest as they say is history. One other person who I find very interesting is Bill Britt, one of Amway’s most successful distributors. His story is the same as the Amway founders, he showed the plan to about 1200 people, 900 said thanks but no thanks, a couple of hundred signed up, and about a dozen made Bill a multi-millionaire.
Reasons to Quit before you start
The first and most disheartens enemy then is Rejection, you must be ready to accept this, remember they are not rejecting you they are rejecting an idea that they have no understanding off. Unfortunately the Amway stigma still hangs about that word, ‘MLM.’ Please understand that people do not know what they are rejecting. Remember too that there first question if they are listening at all is “How much do you make,” Then when you say “well I’m just starting out, just like Henry Ford; I’m trying to make my first car. There answer is “Come back when you made a million bucks.” You can at this point be sarcastic and say when I’ve made my first million I won’t be living around here then.so you better get in now.”
The second enemy that you have to face is deception, People will say that they will come to your house or where ever the presentation is and off course they won’t turn up. The great difference today is, you don’t have to hold meetings, you just leave them with a video and tell them you’ll watch it with them or you’ll come back tomorrow and pick it up.
To Start a Journey
How many people reading this little blog like to grow stuff in their garden. Well let’s look at the analogy.
You find a plot of land, you dig the plot, weed out the grass and weeds, hoe the ground and plant you seeds. You pull the weeds and water your garden, and at the end of the growing season, you harvest your crop. If you would take that much care of a garden, why will you not take such care of your mind and life?
The stage is set for you to take hold of your life, there is a saying
“Don’t just take a breath to live, BUT!!! Take a breath to live, grow and learn.”
Another saying that I wrote a few years back.
“It doesn’t take courage to be a dreamer! BUT!!! It does take courage to turn dreams into reality.”
Let’s assume that you have listened to someone about an internet business, at this point let’s not both with a name. The journey that you are about to embark on can be a great adventure, if you want to look at it that way. There is a saying “To change your life, all you have to do is change your mind,” You will, whether you realize it or not, you are going to have to move out of your comfort zone. You may ask why I have so many little saying, the reason is that they are positive affirmations and when I feel a negative wave, I try to remember a little saying. You ask does it work, sometimes but, regardless I’m glad I can say them to myself.
Why Have I covered so much area
If you are reading this blog and you may be asking a great many questions. I mean I have taken you from the dark ages up to this internet age. My purpose in taking you along this road is having you build within yourself, the realization that all of us go through hardships. The hardships of choice, we can either stay a worker bee or we can take life by the horns and give yourselves and your spouse and your children a better life. I have said it before in this blog and I’ll repeat, never in the history of the world have there been so many opportunities to better ourselves than now.
Conditioned from School age
It’s unfortunate, but whether you realize it or not, we have been conditioned since our school days to fail, some people might say that’s not so, well Government surveys prove this statement, it is a fact that at retirement 67% of the people cannot provide for their own needs, and only 1 or 2 % are independently wealthy.
A Dream in Your heart
Everyone has a vision of themselves in their head, and for most people that vision is identical to their current reality. They don’t see themselves as anything bigger than what they already are and therefore opportunity doesn’t register as anything of intrinsic value. They may work in a convenience store and in their head they are a convenience store worker. Most of what is sold to good people these days is a bunch of bad advice and general information.
If you read this far it means that you are searching for something. You want to be more that a worker bee. So a little exercise, sit and close your eyes. Visualize what it is you want with all your heart, mind and soul. Build the dream in your mind. If you don’t dream, how do you think your dreams will come true? But! It should be emphasized that your success is directly related to how hard you work, as it is in any business.
Helping others along the road to success
But with an Internet Business one other element should be added and that is your success is hinged a great deal on how much you help others. As you build your business do not look on others as dollar bills. Remember they are people who also have dreams. Numbers never lie, pick your goal and then go into overdrive and massive action. If you talk to enough people you will succeed. Bill Britt made a tape years ago, remember he’s a millionaire from Amway. The tape is called “Would you search a year for someone like me.”
Why both writing this article
The main reason for writing this blog is to help you make logical and wise decisions, I have been burned so many times when I started out, that I am determent to stop as many people as I can from being burned and lead astray. There is no need to scam people but the so called gurus want to give enough that you will buy but keep enough from you that you are never a threat to their market place.
What not to look for in an Internet Business
We are now ready to look at a number of Internet businesses; the first item on the agenda is minimum cost, like $1 up to say $25 no more than that. We don’t want to be hit by the so called guru’s; you know we have mentioned the $47 gang. You would not believe how many people rush through things, sign up to every new program in pre-launch and expect thousands by the morning. I am going to put this bluntly… The fact is you are being programmed to buy, Buy, and BUY, over and over again, without asking any serious questions about WHAT it is you actually need to succeed. You are being kept in the dark in regards to the ONLY things you actually have to learn to achieve success online.
Don’t Ever Give up
What I mean by that is you are being programmed to seek and purchase only the “HOPE” of achieving your goals, not the actual knowledge and education needed to help you DO IT!
This is not your fault, but is the natural direction the mind moves into when it reaches a point of saturation and information overload.
This is not some vast conspiracy mind you; it is just how marketing works. The problem is you need to learn HOW it works or it will work you over pretty bad, and you will continue to suspend your logic and reason without even realizing it is happening.
You need to be working for YOU, not some Internet or MLM “guru” who is grooming you to be their retirement fund.
Can I get Rich Quick
There are NO free rides to a successful business.
The truth is this…You CAN get rich quick! Don’t let anyone tell you it is not possible, because it is. You just have to KNOW what to do and what to expect, and that is where my marketing team comes in.
You have to start out with a realistic expectation of what “Quick” means first, or you will get burned time and time again online.
If you can completely replace your current income and then some in 12 months, that is quick! If you do not think that is quick then I know of a few slick marketers that have a product or two to sell you at around $97 a pop…or just go to Clickbank and take your pick!
Let’s Get Real Here…
You are reading this blog because you have already come to the realization that you don’t need to work for someone else your entire life to be financially stable and successful. We all know how that kind of plan works (or doesn’t work).
Remember not to speed read through this blog or skim over it. If you read slowly and let it soak in you won’t be confused afterwards or have to read it over and over again. This is YOUR future we are talking about here so do yourself a favor and Pay Attention!
What type of Business is a Good Business
The type of business that you should look for and I’m going to mention a few, but the choice of which or any that you join is off course your final decision. I cannot and will not make that decision for you. Please understand that. The reason that I do not make those kinds of decisions is because I don’t know how you think and what you present circumstances are.
I give you an internet business address and you must read and think about what you need and what you see. But as I have stated any internet business that you visit from my referrals will not cost a great deal of money. Also they are very easy to understand and if you sign up for a business there are no hidden cost that you will be asked to pay for, so that you can obtain more information.
Always remember the choices that you make will determine the course of your future. No more no less! To finish this blog, I want you remember this; success always comes down to one thing. “Am I willing to pay the price for my personal financial freedom”?
A life full of Stress
Before I mention a number of Internet Businesses, let’s look at what Forbes Magazine has stated that over the next 3 to 5 years 79 million people will be exactly where you are now looking for a home based business. There is nothing worse than having to decide which bills to pay and
which ones you can get away with not paying until next month. Just like you, millions of people will have become tired of just getting by and of being forced to live in “fight/flight-survival mode” each and every day. Let that go for a minute and imagine this…
Finally Life without Stress
Imagine having the time to do exactly what you want to do when you want to do it…Imagine you don’t have to selectively choose to pay your mortgage over your power bill this month…Imagine not having to make a quick payment to your credit card just to keep it from going over the limit! Then answer me this question…How would your life change if 12 months from now, you could have replaced your entire income online through your own business, AND positioned yourself to be able to make as much money as you want to, whenever you want to, from that point on?
Types of Internet Businesses
I now going to mention a number of businesses and give there internet address. If you sign up for one of them or all of them you will find that I am your direct sponsor or up line. How they are listed is in no way telling you which the best is or the worst. As I have stated and will repeat I am not advising on which to join if any, because I believe that is your choice. I will certainly give you guidance and advice but that’s all. So here is a list and brief description of each internet business.
