How to Identify Network Marketing Scams

There is one thing that you have to remember no matter what of scams…. they seem unbelievingly easy. A simple illustration would be when your using the internet a pop up suddenly appears that says “Congratulations you’re our lucky winner you have won $1 million” but seriously do you believe that it’s true?

Common sense dictates it’s not but there are some people who are fooled by these advertisements. This is because no matter what there is always a desire to improve our financial position!

This is what you need to understand about network marketing scams. Network Marketing is generally very susceptible to manipulations by individuals; this is because majority of people who enter into this business is generally inexperienced and knows very little about the business.

Network Marketing Scams crop up all the time. You need to make yourself aware of their existence. This will help you make sound and informed judgments. You don’t want to be like closed minded people who scam everything and miss opportunities. You also don’t want to become a victim.

Why People Like You and Me are not able to discern Scams

Most network marketing scams present themselves as being simple and easy. In fact, this is a major attraction for most scams. Many people work very hard on their day jobs, spending their time and energy on the pressing tasks of the day just to earn an income to get them and their families through and yet they often find that even after all their hard work, they still are not where they want to be financially.

Warren Buffet as so admirably said “you can’t do business with bad people”. I believe that there is a strong fundamentality to this particular statement and it’s important that we remember this line to shield ourselves.

Before putting your money out there ask your self a few questions whether it’s a network marketing scams?
i)    Could you make money just by selling products to customer? No? It’s a scam
ii)    Are you told you can make a lot of money with minimal effort? Yes? It’s a scam
iii)    Do you have to pay a “participation” fee? Yes? It’s a scam

A lot people categorize network marketing scheme with pyramid scheme. Nevertheless its important to point out that it is not indeed a pyramid scheme. Pyramid scheme does not sell any products-it does not attempt to move goods and services in any sense of the term. Network Marketing Scheme is actually a very respectable procedure and this approach is definitely legal. The only similarity that it has with a pyramid scheme is that its in a hierarchy, but its hierarchy is to move goods and services and there is a proportionate relationship with between the amount of goods and profits that the participants make.

The Truth about Network Marketing Scheme

Thus if you are looking to avoid network marketing scams a good alternative is to do your research on Network marketing scheme to prevent yourself from being cheated. The concept behind network marketing scheme is a distribution model that allows a company to sell their products directly to the consumer.

Choosing to use a word of mouth approach (networking) instead of advertising through traditional streams. Instead of paying the media for advertising, Network marketing scheme companies are structured to reward distributors through commission in return for selling their products and finding new customers.

The main focus of a network marketing scheme company is product distribution. In fact, in a legitimate network marketing company, distributors are not required to recruit new distributors in order to earn a commission; they can earn money purely by selling the company’s product.

Conclusion

In closing, I like to stress the emphasis on network marketing scams. There is no such thing as a “get rich quick scheme” in network marketing or on any online business. When any person or expert says that to you, run away. Why? They are obviously legally cheating your money. Think about it for a second before you make any decision.

Be focus and persistent. I have been doing online prospecting since March 2007. I have spent thousands of dollars online and offline. There is no such thing as a secret to success. It is just doing the right thing, create your leads generation system, marketing system and sales funnel.

Recruiting is part of Network marketing. Monetizing your list is when you earn extra income from your list. Always think out of the box.

Here are several proven techniques for seeking out leads online:

Writing articles is the best way to drive traffic to your network marketing site online. When you write articles about your business opportunity, you can connect with people who are looking for your product that will solve a problem, and you can connect with people seeking out business opportunities in the field your product is in.

These are great for both increasing your subscriber base and for driving traffic to your purchasing website.

Paid advertising on e-newsletters and e-zines connects you with a targeted audience. Using stand alone ads, you will be noticed by thousands of like-minded readers. This exposure is priceless.

Social networking sites connect you with thousands of people across the world. You can post articles on your profile and home pages to generate interest and drive traffic to your side.

Finally, you need to blog regularly. The more often you post, the more often Google and other major search engines will crawl your site and push you to the top of the search results page. In addition, you can direct affiliate orders and capture new leads through your blog. Remember, banner advertising is declining in effectiveness; blogging is a valid way to promote your business online.

We all know the internet has revolutionized the way Network Marketers do business.  Not only can you avoid the shame and embarrassment of pestering family and friends when you market online, you can save yourself time, as well.  But if you’re marketing your Network Marketing business online–or thinking about it–be sure to avoid these traps that will keep you from achieving the level of success you desire.

Trap 1:  Wasting Time on the Internet

Surfing the internet rather than using it for a purpose can be a temptation every time you sit down at your computer . It’s important to be disciplined about what you are going to do when you get on the internet.  If you spend time looking at every story and article, clicking on all the ads, and never actually marketing your network marketing business, you’re not going to get very far.

Solution:  Set limits for yourself.  Give yourself a set amount of time–10 or 15 minutes, perhaps–to do whatever you want.  Check the weather, read the latest gossip about Brangelina, and get to work when your time limit is up.

Trap 2:  Checking Your E-mail Excessively

You want to be accessible to your downline and your prospects, so you check your e-mail regularly.  And that’s a good thing!  But spending too much time checking and responding to e-mail can interrupt tasks you are trying to complete and keep you from getting to tasks you should complete.

Solution:  Again, set limits for yourself.  Turn off the “ding” that notifies you when you receive a new e-mail.  Set some time aside in your schedule a couple of times a day to read and respond to e-mail. 

Your downline will be more respectful of your time if you’re accessible but not always available.  And responding to prospects within seconds or minutes just comes across as desperate, if you ask me.

Trap 3:  Trying to Learn Everything at Once

There is so much to learn when it comes to internet network marketing.  Many Network Marketers try to do it all at once–blogging, pay-per-click, forum marketing…the list goes on.  The result is they never become an expert in anything and get dismal results at everything.

Solution:  While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using more than one method of marketing, you should focus your attention on becoming an expert in one area.  Then once you feel you’ve mastered it, you can move on to the next method and master that as well.

Network Marketers who master a method of marketing before trying something different achieve better results…and they’re a lot less frustrated and burned out as a result!

The factors behind opt in MLM leads is to be inside, where the good stuff is located.

The situation would be like this; you outside of the opt in MLM leads industry, wanting to get in. to get the inside scoop of the leads business. If you knew what actually went on in some arenas, you may think the inside scoop looks like this picture.

How are they generated?

For the most part, these leads are generated over the Internet. While there is no definite study to prove this matter, it is safe to assume that 85-90% of all leads you find for sale are originated on the Internet.

There are two main reasons for this. First, the Internet is where most people are doing their research today when looking for jobs, looking for ways to make extra money, something to invest on, etc. So, why not go where the people are looking?

Second, it is the most cost effective way of generating these leads.

Surely, a person is surfing the Internet, doing a Google search, and checking out their options for ways to make extra income. Or, sometimes the person is not even thinking about wanting more money when an online ad catches their attention and they check it out. So, they fill out a form and hit submit.

That is the basics behind online opt in MLM lead generation. Some person is out there surfing the Net. There is an online ad and a form. Filled out and submit. Then they are now a prospect waiting to be sold.

Quite a nice system. Wouldn’t we all like to receive a batch of leads after people had been surfing the Internet for ways of making money from home. Now you have their name, phone, and E-mail address in your hands.

But there are some variables that can make a big difference in the type of opt in MLM leads you are holding in your hands.

‘Incentivized’ them!

One of the biggest problems that exists among the Internet lead generation business is the incentives that entice a person to fill out a form and submit.

If you have purchased opt in MLM leads long enough, then you have probably come across the person who did not know they were going to be contacted about a home business. Instead they thought they were going to get a new Video iPod, $10,000, or a vacation cruise.

So, what do you do? You go to an opt in MLM leads company and you buy a batch of leads. The leads are about $2.25 each, so you buy 50 of them for $112.50. There is a chance you may find a good prospect in there, one that will be targeted to the product or service that you are offering.

No lead is ever pure because you do not know what other sites the prospect has been to, filling out forms, and checking out other businesses.

However, if you are going to invest in these leads; it is worth a few extra minutes of research or an email or phone call to the owners; to know what kind of leads you are purchasing.

Opt in MLM Leads are all about results. So go ask and test first.

Network Marketing has come a long way in the last 4 years. I don’t even think that people even refer to it as “Network Marketing” so much anymore. The new terms are “Online Marketing” and “Internet Marketing” thanks to technology and you guessed it…The Internet. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, this business is still ultimately about networking. You still need to get on the phone, meet people, build relationships, share the goodness and follow up with your prospects. The whole process is set into motion on the front end by efficient & effective marketing and lead generation. This is the life line of your business where technology and systems now play a key role in anyone’s network marketing business. If you do not have this in place you are simply going to be left behind.

That being said, you are terribly mistaken if you think you can now hide behind the technology and auto responder’s and still build a long-term, successful network marketing business without spending the majority of your time interacting with people personally each and every day.

I would highly suggest that anyone who is interested in using technology and systems as one of your tools, that you do the homework, educate yourself and take a look at the systems out there including Mike Dillard’s “Magnetic Sponsoring”. He is the pioneer of all systems to follow and has created the blueprint for success. “Magnetic Sponsoring” was built on the premises of attracting people to you and have them pay you to do that. You are provided with high-converting capture pages, sales funnels, banners, courses, training materials, tutorials, e-books, text ads, sales letters and more. You also get to utilize his full time staff of marketers that provide you with a back end system that helps you generate traffic, track leads & prospects, produce marketing videos, track campaigns, keep you up to date on the latest online marketing trends, give you detailed statistics and traffic reports, provide you with training products and more. He does all of this for you at no charge. All he asks is that you get a copy of the Magnetic Sponsoring course which will educate you in the methods and systems that are most effective in today’s market. That’s it!

The key to effective marketing is to promote and sell a solution and system that applies to everyone, instead of pitching your business opportunity on the front end. Remember, nobody likes to be sold. YOU just need to give out YOUR affiliate links, contact YOUR prospects and build YOUR down line. “Magnetic Sponsoring” will do the rest.

You can very quickly set yourself apart from the masses by providing your prospects with valuable knowledge that can help them get what they want and make their life easier, instead of pitching them some business opportunity. You begin to attract them to you and position yourself as a leader who has power, knowledge and value to offer others. Remember people don’t join business opportunities, PEOPLE join PEOPLE.

So what is the best way to successfully build a network marketing business? Here are six things that will allow you to achieve financial independence:

• Start treating it like a real business and not a hobby that you dabble in. You need to spend time, educate yourself, take action, stay committed and make it your #1 priority.
• Increase your value to others by reading, listening and purchasing training courses and material on marketing and personal development. Listen and read them over and over again and apply the knowledge that you learn.
• Instead of selling your opportunity, start selling yourself and the other leaders on your team, which generates attraction and then market and sell your team’s system to your prospects.
• Lead with your systems funded proposal or self liquidating offers which are the front-end retail products which will target other network marketers. This will allow you to generate new leads for free.
• Start promoting your product in your warm market and build a good size customer base. They are quite possibly your prospects in the future.
• Develop an awareness for being able to notice and seek out other leaders in your down line. Educate and support them.

It is important to remember that the fastest way to create wealth in life is to solve other people’s problems. Do not place emphasis on your network marketing company. That’s just selling people another problem. Market a solution, solve their problems, provide value & leadership and you will automatically become a sought after resource that everyone will be attracted to. One way you can start claiming yourself as a leader is by getting Mike Dillard’s 7 Day Video Boot Camp. You can get free instant access here:

People are starving for leadership & direction and will do almost anything to fulfill that need. When you are seen as a leader you will effortlessly attract new distributors. To become a leader you must increase your value to the world. “Magnetic Sponsoring” is the promotion of leadership, expertise, and a solution to network marketer’s problems instead of a business opportunity.
