5 Reasons To Not Join Multiple Network Marketing Companies At The Same Time.

Written by: Andy Acciaioli

Article Overview: The temptation to join more than one network marketing company is easy to succumb to. However, you will find it nearly impossible to operate multiple business opportunities simultaneously. Only work one networking business at a time and give it all you have.

5 Reasons To Not Join Multiple Network Marketing Companies At The Same Time.

Do you jump on nearly every network marketing business opportunity that is presented to you? I am not talking about if after you study a new opportunity you decide that it presents a better opportunity to you than your present company. No. I am talking about jumping on multiple companies thinking that you can be a success in all of them. Perhaps you are the exception and can simultaneously run four or five network marketing business successfully all at once. I have never met anyone who has done this but as I said, perhaps you are the exception.

First, do you project an image of success to someone you are talking to about a particular company when you have three or four others that you are participating in? If you are so successful in the company you are attempting to present to a prospect, why do you need to be involved with the other business opportunities?

Second, which business are you the most passionate about? Or does that change with the level of success you might be experiencing at any one moment?

Third, are prospects being given mixed signals about the business they find most interesting simply because you would rather promote your favorite?

Fourth, your participating in multiple business opportunities at the same time will encourage your downline to do the exact same thing. Unfortunately, the other companies that they join will vary from yours...as will their loyalty.

Fifth, and perhaps the MOST important factor, what happens when your upline finds out about your being disloyal to their network marketing company? Surely you cannot expect their level of assistance in working with you when at any moment you can turn around and attempt to get your (and their) downline to switch to another network marketing company du jour.

One time I spoke to someone, a friend and an excellent salesman, I had personally sponsored into my opportunity. I later found out he was involved with three other network marketing companies plus operating a few internet affiliate programs. When I asked his about this, he informed me that he viewed himself as owning a micro-conglomerate with multiple divisions. I will spare you the details but the last I heard, this tycoon's micro-conglomerate had dropped off the radar screen as he had to quit all of his network marketing businesses and is waiting tables in Dallas.

Bottom line: be a successful network marketer in one business opportunity instead of dabbling in multiple opportunities at the same time.

10 best franchises to get involved - My advice is: 1) Go to the library and start reading business books (accounting, finance, etc.) 2) Go to your local community college and enroll in night classes 3) Join the local Chamber of Commerce 4) Network / Network / Network -- through the above sources. Once you have spent two years doing the above, then look for a 55 - 60 year old business person that is looking to reduce their time in the business.

Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.

Revenue Streams for Websites - Too funny, I was just reading a book: Multiple Streams of Internet Income: How Ordinary People make extraordinary money on line, by Robert G. Allen. 2001 That's a misnomer, though - they're not ordinary people, they're people with established careers who can take their expertise and exploit it on the web. Ways to generate income? 1) Sell your own material on the site. Ebooks, etc. 2) Join various affiliate programs that match what your website is about. 3) Google adsense - All my money comes from this... it's started out slow but as readership of my sites grown, the income has grown. Nothing to write home about yet... 4) Google adwords - the advertisers whose ads show up on Google Adsense. Unless you're selling big ticket items on your site you don't want to use it, your keywords can cost from 20 cents upwards.
