If you're considering MLM - then you have to consider favorable marketers.
Don't be fooled by lame MLM presentations where they tell you you're going
to be super rich overnight. I make a lot of money but it took months to make
a real income. It took months before I could actually quit my job.
Rule #1:
Get a mentor. Somebody who is truly who they say they are. For instance, I picked John Paul Raygoza because I always heard good things about him.
Sure enough, I attended a seminar and since then we work together on Joint Ventures from time to time.
Rule #2:
Make sure you ROI (return on investment) can be measured in Real Time. If someone is saying "invest $30,000" and "you'll double your investment within 4 months" then you should reply with "That means I'll see $500 each day for the next four months." I invest in Pay Per Click (PPC on Google and Yahoo)...I'm able to see results every 5 minutes.
Rule #3:
Be committed! You can't quit your business because it didn't make any money the first day, or the second day, or so on. Results is not always money.
Results can be "Leads". I generate 3000 leads a day. I make about $300 a day. If I had to choose I would pick the leads over the money any day of the week.
