There are millions of people looking for a home based business every day, the question is where do they start? There are thousands of business programs easily found just by typing in a few keywords to your favorite search engine. But which do you choose.
For some it will be a Multilevel marketing business because there is little to no investment. Yes people can make a lot of money in this type of business but usually the people who make the money are those individuals who have a following from previous MLM business they built through the years.
The ordinary individual with little or no experience has little chance of hitting it big. They end up buying products they don't need or use to meet some type of quota. So the no investment opportunity ends up costing them in the long run. These companies will show you a matrix that explains how you can have thousands of people in your downline if you just get X amount of People to get X amount of people.
It sounds quite simple but in reality the only people the newbie ends up signing up are the couple of family members who want to shut them up. It's a business that preaches chasing friends and family. The so called warm market that tend to turn a cold shoulder when approached. Then months down the road they ask you "how you doing in that MLM thing?" and by that time the newbie has given up.
There is an alternative to the MLM nightmare and that is direct sales. It is quite different and a lot more lucrative then MLM. You see in a traditional MLM business its about building tremendous organizations of people to get to the level where you will be maing 1000's of dollars, but up to that point your are only making small change.
With direct sales you are making 100's and 1000's from your very first sale. Does it cost a lot more to get into direct sales than MLM. Yes it does, normally anywhere from $500 to $3500 on average. but you normally are in profit mode after just one or two sales.
Yes direct sales has a cost but what business doesn't. No matter what business venture you pursue it will cost money. If it is a brick and mortar business it will cost you tens of thousand of dollars. Go buy a card store or bagel shop or start something from scratch. What do you think that will cost you? I'll tell you a lot of time, money and headaches. I know I've been in business for over 20 years until I found direct sales that is. And none of those businesses will compensate you like direct sales can.
I wish I gave this lesson to myself 20 years ago. I did end up making a success in a few businesses but not without a lot of bumps and bruises. I would have been much better off in a direct sales business because I would have risked a lot less while making a lot more. This business model wasn't around 20 years ago but it is now and thats exactly where I am.
The best plan of action is to find an opportunity that has a great training system in place. This is key! Find the opportunity that offers the most training for the money. They all will offer training but some has a greater value than other. Find an opportunity that might be able to plug you into seminars and summits at no cost. That right there is worth the investment and then some.
Also find a genuine person to sponsor you, one that will be accessible to help you learn the ropes. So take a good look around, surf the net, and find the right fit. I always make myself available to those who might need a little one on one tutoring on the subject.
