Mail Order Tips From MLM'ers

:: Home » Library » Home Based Business Ideas Part 3

Multi-level marketing is a fantastic business. If you are the type of person
who enjoys a lot of people contact and have a great product you believe in
multi-level marketing can work out great for you. There are people making
$1,000's of dollars per month in commissions alone _ but they worked hard
for it. I prefer mail order though because it's slow-paced and more
"people-oriented."

Multi-level marketing is "people-oriented" too, because a product is being
sold to people. However, multi-level marketing is also a "money-making"
industry that places great emphasis on building downlines and selling lots
of product to meet the monthly criteria established by the main multi-level
company.

Although the articles in multi-level publications are not related to mail
order, they teach you about positive thinking that is needed in any type
of business. You can pick up some good business tips whether you are in mail
order, MLM or selling homemade pies at a garage sale. Business is business.
Marketing is marketing. Selling is selling!

When people are asked: "What would you do if you won $100?" they would say
that they'd take their spouse or friend to dinner and a movie. When asked,
"What would you do if you won $10,000?" most say they would buy a car, pay
off old bills or take a trip. But when these people were asked, "What would
you do if you won $1 million ?" they all said they would INVEST it.

The article went on to say, that if these people would only INVEST when it
came to big money _ how could they ever hope to achieve it? I mean, how can
you ever accumulate $1 if you don't start saving the change? How can you save
$120 per year if you don't start putting in $10 bills now?

Some of the best multi-level type publications on the market today are
"Opportunity Connection," "FreEnterprise," and "Big Al's Recruiting
Newsletter." In every issue you will find information that will help motivate
you to sell your product and fantastic marketing tips that the professionals
use. Multi-level marketing is truly a professional business. This is the
place you will find new and exciting products that are not available locally.
In fact _ multi-level marketing firms produce some of the best products in
the world.

Please don't confuse multi-level marketing with birthday clubs, chain-type
schemes and those circulars that ask you to place your name and address in
Position 1 and move all the other ones down before making copies. These
pieces of "trash" will never make you a dime and if I could _ I would outlaw
their existence. They steal lots of money from many innocent people on a
daily basis.

On the other hand _ multi-level marketing is when you have a REAL product to
sell. You build downlines (people who sell the same product under you) and
you make commissions every time these people sell. But watch out for those

matrix definitions too. Many people don't really understand them fully and
just look at the bottom line of how much money they'll make. Also, many
newcomers think that if they get a friend to sell products for them that
they will earn commissions off every sale the friend makes. Sometimes this
is true and other times it isn't. More often than not _ you have to build a
downline of 10 or 15 people before you start earning commissions, so make
sure you know exactly how a particular multi-level marketing company works
before you sink a lot of money and time into it and think the entire industry
is a big waste.

Look over your business goals. Decide what you really like to do. Basing your
decision on how much money you make won't cut it. You wouldn't decide to have
children just because of the tax deduction you would receive would you? Well
you should never start a business for the sole purpose of making money.
Instead _ find something you enjoy doing that will make you money. When you
love what you are doing, the money will flow naturally and you'll see a
business emerge within a few years that you never dreamed could be possible.
Have fun!
