Every day, millions of people click online for a variety of
reasons. From researching information to finding a date,
the internet seems to offer just about everything. Work and
employment has by no means taken the back burner. Thousands
of people are clamoring to the internet everyday in an
attempt to earn a daily income, make some money, or get
financially free. And it is being proven time and time
again that "there is money to be made on the internet".
From research projects, to software engineering, the
younger and eager generation is presented with a boundless
array of opportunities to show off their intellectual
properties. Certainly, there is no shortage of work or
possibilities online since cyberspace is "virtually"
limitless.
But what about investments, network marketing and the vast
array of "get rich quick" schemes? Do they really work? Can
you really trade in your measly $20.00 for a comfortable
paycheck of $2000.00 to $5000.00 per month? The answer is
"yes and no".
Let's take a brief moment to examine network marketing. As
a network marketer, you are selling something that you
already own--a membership to a website in most cases. Let's
say you pay $19.95 to become a member of company "Make You
a Star Dot Com". Your $19.95 will be payment for the
product (usually information, training and marketing
tools). On top of that, you have the potential of making
money by "referring others" to the company "Make You a Star
Dot Com". When they join by clicking on your affiliate
link, they are placed in your "downline" and you earn a
fraction of their membership fee... as well as the
membership fee of the people they sponsor--up to five
levels deep.
Many people are of the misconception that the membership
fee of $19.95 is paid for an income opportunity alone. And
that they need to sit back and wait for the checks to start
coming in. Of course, it wouldn't be off the mark to say
that these people were deceived into thinking so. Many
network marketers do not place emphasis on the value of the
product they are selling in their advertising campaigns, or
what the product really is or offers. All they tout is the
potential to make money just by joining. This is an
impractical proposition--if everyone pays 19.95 to receive
$5000.00, where does the money come from?
A typical network marketing company may offer a cutting
edge training center prepared by experts aimed at making an
entrepreneur out of you. It will give you all the tools,
advice and information you need to run a successful
business, online or off. It may include sections for
example on "setting up a legal entity", "bookkeeping and
accounting", "ecommerce and merchant tools", "self
improvement", "real estate" etc.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you join a
network marketing company, by all means, make use of what
you are paying for. Go into the training center, or
resources section, or back office, or whatever you call it,
and max it out...get your money's worth. The "two thousand
to five thousand dollars per month" will come on the side!
In order to become a successful network marketer and earn a
six figure income in the least amount of time, any "Guru"
will tell you that you need to understand how to use an
autoresponder programmed with a newsletter, ezine or follow
up emails. It is an established fact that people tend not
to buy into a program on the first pitch. So if you're
thinking of investing your precious time into this
lucrative field of business, think "autoresponder, follow
up messages, and subscribers". At first, learning how to
use such tools might seem like a daunting task, but like
most computer technology, once you get to know it, it
becomes pretty simple and transparent.
A typical network marketing company will also provide
training, tools and resources on how to recruit others into
the company. These may include autoresponder training,
Google tutorials, web design and various other advertising
strategies. However, to avoid the mass of confusion and
possible wastage of money associated with first starting
off in network marketing, it is best to join under a
successful network marketer who will show you exactly how
to copy his/her success in a no-nonsense, simple and step
by step process.
