In order to be successful in network marketing, it is important to be aware of MLM pimps and how to spot one in your local coffee house.  Depending on the person, these pimps can either help you make a lot of money or can be just downright annoying.  By now, most people are aware that MLM is dependent upon a strong downline.  However, the jury is still out as to whether building the largest downline possible always translates to strong income potential.  While many try to recruit as many clients as possible in order to make up their downline, doing so sometimes results in a group of people that drain time and resources instead of making you money.

However, although a quality group is obviously important, without a large enough client-base, it will be very difficult to make money.  Because of this, there has become a recent onslaught of MLM pimps.  These pimps tend to troll places such as coffee houses as they often get a fair amount of foot traffic and have a captive audience from which they can easily recruit.

Often found mulling around the same coffee house day after day, these MLM pimps could represent your success or your demise depending on their training, opportunity, and motives.  While there are some that have a valid and reputable business opportunity that could end up being well worth your while, the fair majority will end up taking your money and then leaving you roped into an opportunity that keeps you in a holding pattern without any promise of any real financial gain.  Therefore, it is important to be wary and learn how to spot these opportunists who might be hanging around your local java joint and looking to prey on the unsuspecting folks coming in looking for their daily caffeine fix.

However, should you find one of the often talked about but rarely seen MLM pimps that actually deliver, you will definitely want to take advantage of what they have to offer.  The trick is spotting the money-makers from the money-drainers.  Although it might seem difficult at first, a good tipoff is the way they go about recruiting you.  Those with a more laid back, yet still enthusiastic style tend to have a higher likelihood of being legit.  However, those trying to talk to every Tom, Dick, and Harry with gusto should probably raise a red flag.  So, if you happen to encounter one these opportunistic MLM pimps, it is best to get your coffee and run!

Well, you’ve taken the plunge.  You’ve decided to start your own home based business through a multi-level marketing company.  What now?  Where do you start and how do you get going?  The deer in headlights feeling is pretty uncomfortable so you want to get going quickly so you don’t have to feel it anymore.

Start by doing an inventory of the tools the company you’ve signed on with offers.  They may provide you with a website.  If so, it likely has some kind of back office feature that will allow you to track leads from the website, view your status with the company in terms of sales, points earned, and so forth.  It may even provide you with tools for following up with leads and generating email campaigns.  They may have provided you with brochures or packets and perhaps even business cards.  Most likely that offer a series of training videos or conference calls to help get you started and keep you on track.

After you understand what you already have, make a detailed list of what you need.  If you don’t have the handout materials, like brochures and business cards, you will want them.  You can design a simple one page flyer and business cards and have them printed relatively inexpensively.  Make a list of all the places or people you could contact to sell your product or present the company for recruiting.  List all the places where you could place your handouts for people to read or pick up.  Be creative and think outside of the box.  If a website and back office system are provided, make sure you know how to maximize the use of all the tools offered.

Now that you have all the tools, it’s time to hit the ground running.  Start talking to people everywhere.  Don’t be afraid to pin a small stack of business cards on the bulletin board at the grocery store or leave them on a table at your dentist’s office.  Figure out creative ways to introduce your products to your friends and family.  Make sure they understand what you’re doing, so they can spread the word.  Take advantage of one of today’s most effective tools, social media.  Log into your computer and set up accounts on networks that work, like Twitter, Facebook and My Space, but learn to use them properly.  That means being genuine and authentic.  In other words, be a person and don’t just sell when you’re using these networks, interact and converse with people just like you are face to face.

Not too long ago I was an MLM Newbie-Wet Behind The Ears, but then I was introduced to a Network Marketing Legend that has helped me every step of the way in becoming a Master Marketer .Who new this industry would be so much fun.

Addiction is partially defined as the condition of one being compulsively or habitually occupied by or involved in something.  Is it possible to become addicted to MLM businesses?  Absolutely!  We’ve all heard about one of them, read about one of them or know one of them, the MLM junkie.  This is someone that is crazed about every new gimmick that they come across.  They are convinced that the next one is the best thing since sliced bread and will make them an instant millionaire.  They sign up for every multi-level marketing company find, especially if they think they are getting into it on the ground floor.  When it’s all said and done, they are probably associates in dozens of companies, have spent thousands of dollars getting into these companies and have actually lost money rather than making it.

These are the folks that give multi-level marketing a bad name.  They inundate their friends and family with requests to buy products or sign up as recruits.  They perpetuate the unjustified stereotype of MLM companies as all being get rich quick schemes.  What can be done about them?  Can they be helped and in turn help you by not having to tell them no all of the time?  The answer is only if they want to be helped, just like with any intervention.

If you are in MLM, how do you prevent them from ruining your business?  This is more within your control.  You must promote your business responsibly and consistently.  Being responsible with promotion involves being persistent without being overbearing.  If people see that you are committed to one particular business they will be less likely to assume you and your business are just like the MLM junkie and his businesses.  You can also make sure that you have solid facts and figures to support your claims regarding your business.  This will assure people that your business isn’t one of the fly by night operations just gearing to take people’s money.

The probability of MLM junkies disappearing is slim to none, but their impact on you can be controlled.  On a personal level, you can choose to deny their requests, ignore them or avoid them.  More importantly, on a professional level, you can make sure you and your company are represented on a professional and respectable level.  This should minimize or completely negate the less than desirable impact these junkies could otherwise have on your livelihood.

Not an MLM Junkie anymore,here’s what changed my destiny Master Marketers United.

Do you need a feather duster every time you decide to move that box of business cards that you got when you started your business?  That means you’re not maximizing one of the best tools you have to promote yourself.  You’ve probably already given one or more to every person you know, so you’re not sure what else you’re supposed to do with them.  The key is to think outside of the box and be creative because those little two inch by three inch pieces of card stock might be your best promotional tool.

What are some things you could do with business cards to grow your business?  Well, there are a lot of possibilities.  You know those big bulletin boards in grocery stores, sandwich shop, and cafes, put cards on them and not just one, stick a few up there.  Ask your hair salon if you can leave a few on the magazine table.  Check with medical professionals, accountants and any other business you visit regularly if you can leave a few cards for other clients to see and pick up if they are interested.  Drop one of your cards in every fish bowl drawing you see.  After all, you never know who might be going through those cards later for the drawing.  You’ve seen the big boards in businesses with stacks of cards from various businesses. Get your cards onto one.  These are generally owned and stocked by a company, so find out how to contact that company and sign a contract with them.  It is usually a fairly inexpensive way to get someone to do some of the leg work for you.

Once you’ve saturated the obvious market with cards, create a way to distribute them to the less obvious and less accessible market.  Create or buy a mailing list within a specific geographic area and send a letter introducing yourself and your product or service and include a business card in every letter.  Contact local charities and establish giveaways that benefit those charities.  Make sure your cards are attached to every piece of correspondence or gift that goes out in relationship to the drive on which you are working with the charity.

Business cards are sometimes a neglected tool, but they can be one of your best business assets.  People hold onto business cards and you never know when they are going to decide they need your product or service and go looking for your card, so make sure you are getting them out.

MLM positions are often touted as a way to earn a lot of money very quickly with minimal effort.  After all, everyone will want to jump on that particular wagon.  Unfortunately, this isn’t necessarily the case.  MLM companies can be an avenue to make significant amounts of money and they generally offer the freedom of being your own boss.  They do, however, require an amazing amount of work and dedication to actually reach this potential.

Beyond the hopeful lure of instant money, there are often hidden caveats as well.  Many times these companies will require reaching a certain level before they will cut a check to you.  They may require that you have a certain number of recruits and reach a particular dollar amount in sales amongst you and your downline before they pay you.  Generally, the money will be credited to you, but held until the specific milestone is reached.  If it is a company that requires a buy in, but spreads payment of the buy in across your first sales and recruits, then your first pay day may be delayed until you’ve paid the buy in.  If products are advanced to you without purchase, your initial earnings may become a reimbursement to the company for the product advancements.  Some companies pay on a specified time table as well.  In these situations, they may provide payment only on a certain date each month or after a stated period of time, like quarterly.

Any of these scenarios may impact your payday.  Regardless of what part of the fine print impacts when you will be paid, you have to understand that significant effort on your part will be required to fulfill the dream of becoming rich with through multi-level marketing.  It is certainly attainable, but requires tenacity and patience.  You will have to be out there every day promoting yourself, your product and your company to make the paydays what you envision.  It’s not easy, nor is it quick, but it is possible.  We’ve all heard the old cliché, “you reap what you sow”.  This notion is truer with MLM businesses than almost anywhere else because your paycheck is completely dependent upon your individual effort.
