Could You Market Your MLM Online??

Posted by amm on Monday, 31 May, 2010

So You Want To Bring Your MLM Business Online??

Ok, so you want to bring your Network Marketing business onto the internet? Well maybe I can save you some (well quite alot) of time! Because there are 2 ways you can go about bringing your MLM business online. The first one is to run yourself ragged trying to find out how to market, where to market and what tools you will need; then trying to set it all up yourself.

The second alternative is to get yourself a system which has everything in place, so that all you have to do is follow the instructions! Obviously, if you prefer the first way, that’s fine; you obviously have lots of spare time. But for anyone who wants to cut down on the learning curve and all the necessary research then grab yourself a system to follow. You see, Internet Marketing is nothing at all like marketing your MLM business offline. So no more hotel meetings and one-to-ones!

A good system needs several things. It needs basic step-by-step instructions on setting up your marketing system. You should be shown what you will need to do each step of your marketing, how to get it and how to use it.

You also need regular, effective training on every area in your marketing arsenal. Because marketing on the internet is ever-changing, make sure your system has periodical updates to keep you in the know. Regular fresh information needs to be available, in the form of webinars or training calls.

Another necessity is a funded proposal. If you are new to internet marketing and do not know what this is, I will explain it briefly for you. This means of offering a inexpensive product early on to your leads, from which they will derive good valuable information, and from which you willget commission in order that you can afford to pay for any marketing costs you incur in the running of your Network Marketing business.

The system you use should have a great network of help and advice for you to use. Telephone help, some sort of community network and probably some chat forums are all good ways for you to be able to find help. Everyone needs help occasionally because we all learn in different way. I had never really done much more than a few google searches on the internet before I became an Internet Marketer, so I was probably very slow at learning!.

So if you want to bring your business onto the internet, great! Whatever your upline might have told you, it’s a good decision, maybe even a great decision!! But just make sure you use a quality system. Find out who founded the system and see if they have made it big online!!

Is Joining The MLM Industry The Smart Thing To Do?

Posted by amm on Tuesday, 15 December, 2009

Join MLM

When I remember the past six or seven years, it’s funny to think life could be any different than wading through the struggles I’ve experienced in the MLM profession.  I wanted to take a minute and share some insights with you that I’ve gained over my failures and struggles with the Network Marketing business model.

Network Marketing can be a great profession to join, and it can be a huge source of pain and frustration, too.  There are some misconceptions, however, that are important to understand if you do decide to join Network Marketing.

First, let me just share with you that I joined the MLM industry part time in 2002, and I had an absolutely miserable experience attempting to be successful at it all the way from 2002-2007.  I wasn’t just a failure in every aspect of my business, but I managed to lose most of my friends in the process of shamelessly promoting my businesses again and again to my loved ones.

If you just glance at the surface of that situation, you might think that I should have quit. (In fact, a lot of well intentioned people encouraged me to.) The fact is that looking back today it was a darned good thing that I didn’t.

So what is it about my life that allows me to justify continuing in the Network Marketing profession after so much catastrophic failure?  Let me compare my current situation to USA average income statistics.  I never graduated from college.  In fact, I went to one year of college and then I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur and I just quit.

The average household income for someone who’s a high school graduate without a college degree in the USA is $25,900 per year.  At the same time the average household income for someone with a professional degree is $109,600.  While I certainly am not willing to make any income claims, I’ll say that I currently make way more than anyone I know who works in the professional arena.

So looking at the numbers, does that mean that you should join MLM?  Well, let me tell you the TRUTH how I see it.  You might join a Network Marketing company and fail miserably for your first five years AND the statistics show that most people will experience a certain level of failure before they have any kind of significant MLM success story.  So rather than asking if you should JOIN MLM, maybe you should ask if you’re willing to do WHATEVER it takes to learn the skills you need to learn to be successful in the MLM industry as a PROFESSIONAL who treats their business like a business.

Before you join MLM and dive head first into a nightmare of failure, you might want to take a look into what it’s actually going to take to prosper in the MLM industry.

A Brief Review of Ardyss

Posted by amm on Monday, 7 December, 2009

In my years working in the multilevel marketing industry I have looked at more than my fair share of MLM products. While I truly believe success is possible in any MLM system, it would be naive to pretend that any MLM opportunity is as good as another.

In the course of all this, I developed a system I like to use when I am reviewing MLM products. By always looking at the same 3 factors I manage to create a certain level of objectivity that I find incredibly useful when looking at a potential MLM business.

When I evaluate any MLM business, Ardyss included, I always look at the product, then the company, and finally any marketing materials that the company might make available. These three traits are obviously a part of any MLM business so they provide me with guideposts when trying to determine the value of an MLM product.

That being said let us go ahead and look at the Ardyss product, or more realistically, the Ardyss product lines. While they started out manufacturing body reshaping garments, they now carry not only a wide selection of reshaping garments for men and women; they have diversified into the fields of skin care products and health supplements.

Ardyss the company is relatively strong in my estimation too. Incorporated in Las Vegas back in 1991 they have been around for nearly 20 years. Keeping a company in business that long is not feasible if your products are substandard and customers are not satisfied with them. I have to admit that their entry into those competitive markets, health supplements and skin care products, leaves me scratching my head.

Lastly there is the marketing system. It is always helpful to find a MLM opportunity that has a solid marketing system in place that lends its self to duplication, but those are not all that common. The truth is that success with Ardyss, or any other MLM opportunity ultimately falls on the shoulders of the distributor.

Understanding the basic principles of marketing is absolutely essential to success in the MLM industry, and the Ardyss program is no different in this regard. Lack of marketing techniques is often what drives people to give up on an MLM business in frustration.

If you want to see your MLM Business grow into a healthy revenue machine you need to take the time to research effective marketing techniques. Doing so will not only enable you to succeed with Ardyss or any other MLM product you are currently affiliated with, but any MLM product at all.

Ardyss International Complaints – A Brief Review

Posted by amm on Monday, 7 December, 2009

I have seen plenty of complaints about various MLM products in my time in the MLM industry. That means I have seen my fair share of Ardyss International complaints as well. The open forum of the internet can be a real breeding ground for negativity, so I am sure you have heard of some complaints as well.

I want to start off by saying some of the Ardyss International complaints out there do have some validity to them. However, these complaints are in the minority and tend to be subjective in nature. A customer’s dissatisfaction with a product is based on their personal experience and is by no means shared amongst all the users of a product. While people are obviously entitled to their opinions, these complaints are purely subjective in nature.

Like any MLM business, lots of the Ardyss International complaints accuse Ardyss of using false or misleading advertising. Not only is this accusation lodged against the assorted product lines offered by Ardyss, they are also lodged against the money making potential of their multilevel marketing system.

So, are the Ardyss International complaints about the products being falsely advertised true? In short, yes, sometimes they are true. While Ardyss itself and most of its distributors do not engage in this practice, there will always be some distributors who in a moment of desperation will turn to such tactics in an attempt to make their business succeed. This is something that is true of any MLM product though, and no matter how hard a company like Ardyss works to prevent this from happening, it is impossible for them to monitor all of their distributors all of the time everywhere.

As for the Ardyss International complaints that focus on the business, they tend to split into complaints about some of the widely popularized benefits of an MLM business. MLM businesses are often described as being something that anybody can do. They are also touted as being an opportunity for people to derive an income from their business without needing to work. While both of these statements are true, the MLM business is by no means simple or clean cut.

It is true that a MLM business can provide its owner with a steady income with virtually no work, however it takes a lot of work before the MLM business reaches the strength necessary to do this. It takes plenty of work and energy to grow a MLM business to such a point, and all too often people expect an MLM business to dump money into their lap as soon as they sign up.

Then there’s the “anybody can do it” claim. This one is also true; anybody can succeed in an MLM business assuming they have the right tools. Anybody can turn a screw with a screwdriver, too, but attempting to use your fingernail to turn that screw probably will not get you very far.

The Ardyss International complaints are similar to the complaints you can find about any multilevel marketing program out there. Typically these complaints are lodged by people who attempted the business, but lacked the needed marketing knowledge to succeed. If you want to succeed with your MLM Business, and not be left feeling bitter, make sure to educate yourself on effective marketing.
