Hi Everyone,
About 2 years ago I decided to get involved in network marketing. I had been to a family event, where an uncle talked me into joining the Trump Network. He made it sound so good. It was going to make me rich and I wasn't going to have to do a thing. Just sit back and let this thing develop, and watch the money start rolling in. Ok, so I was gullable... but I did see how online marketing could be a viable source of secondary income. Needless to say, the Trump Network wasn't something that was going to just take off without me putting in the effort. And I wasn't ready for that opportunity, or the work it would have taken to make it really pay off... or at least I wasn't ready YET.
For the last 2 years I have spent a lot of time developing my knowledge and skills for online marketing. I've worked as an affiliate marketer for a couple of very good companies that provide tools and training for new and seasoned marketers. I've made a little money as an affiliate, but more importantly I've learned how this business really works. I understand the work it takes to make the most of an MLM opportunity. I have learned how to generate an endless stream of fresh, highly targeted leads to keep replicating and growing my business. And I've learned that the only way to succeed in an MLM business is to:
1. Select an opportunity that you believe in completely
2. Learn everything there is to know about that opportunity
3. Dedicate yourself to just that one single opportunity
My business plan will result in a progressive increase in income from $10-14k in year 1, to $100K+ in year 5 and beyond. It requires an average of 10-15 hours per week initially, with very specific simple tasks each day. I use a "learn the business/do the business" approach to each new business day. This approach requires a minimum of 30 minutes reading new materials, and minimum 30 minutes taking action each day.
Now I'm at a point where I'm selecting an MLM opportunity that I can totally embrace and spend the next 5+ years developing. My business plan is solid, and I have a great base of tools and training knowledge to help my downline replicate my plan. I'm ready to take on this new opportunity, and ready to be the best leader I can be for everyone that is willing to join me in this quest.
One of the companies that I've promoted as an affiliate marketer put together a list of the top 25 MLM business opportunities based on a number of criteria. From that list (link to the list: http://www.profcs.com/app/aftrack.asp?af=1272446&u=www.nexera.com/top25 ) I've narrowed my choices to 3 MLM's:
A. Nikken (35 years in business)
B. Herbalife (30 years in business)
C. Amway (51 years in business)
Beyond the criteria Nexera applied to the top 25 list, I have my own set of criteria as follows:
1. Would I be a customer?
2. Do I believe in the products?
3. Do I have any negative impressions when I research the company?
4. Can I get traffic and leads to support my business model?
Ok, here I am... I've done my homework. I've ranked the three opportunities above based on my additional criteria (the list above is shown in no particular order). I know the opportunity that I'm leaning towards... I think... But I want to do one more bit of due dillegence...
So now I'm asking for your input.... Which one should I choose? Which one of these three would YOU choose? We're talking about the next 5 to 10 years of my life, so this is important. I truly appreciate any feedback you can provide...
Yours in Success!!
Tommy
P.S. If you would like to join me in this new business endeavor, I would love to talk more with you. Just drop me a line...
UPDATE:
The feedback has been overwhelming! Thank you to everyone that responded. Your opinions along with additional research on my part have brought me to the conclusion that I'm not NOT not joining any of the three MLM companies mentioned above. My search continues...
Thanks again!!!
Tommy
