Tell Me Once Again How Much Of A Scam My Network Marketing Company Is.

Yesterday I received email from two different people asking me which network marketing company I was affiliated with. I responded. And, each fired back that it was a scam. I did not bother to respond. One of them was associated with an online advertising type of program that claimed that they were able to get you on page one of Google. He made it sound as though this would be done with the magical selection of just the right keywords to get you to the top when in reality this was going to be done by paying outrageous amounts to participate in THEIR pay-per-click program. And, on top of that slapping on commissions to pay a network marketing chain of command.

The other emailer referred me to a YouTube video proving that my company was a scam. Ironically I formerly belonged to the same network marketing company that the YouTube video maker belonged to. And, they actually encouraged you to make these type of videos with the word "scam" being used in the title as well as in the keyword list as they claim negativity attracts article readers or video viewers.

Sad. Very sad.

If you are unable to stand behind your own network marketing company without tearing down another network marketing company, I can assure you that you are not going to be a network marketer for long.

Other network marketers will not be brow beaten into submission that your business opportunity is better than the one they are involved in. Quite the contrary. They will be repulsed by your blatant cross recruiting efforts as I was with yesterday's messages.

The best way to get me (or any other network marketer) into your business is to let me see your leadership qualities. Let me see your brand - the YOU factor - splattered all over the internet. When I do a Google search of my nickname Andy Acci, it returns 365,000 hits. This did not happen overnight. It took me a long time to write gads of online articles, post to blogs, create and schedule Twitter Tweets, etc. (FYI: when I Googled one of these emailers it returned several dozen hits. A suggestion: build your own online brand before attacking mine.)

P.S. If Mary McLaughlin was in network marketing today, I would be willing to guarantee that she would have a massive group. When we were at East Hartford High School a number of years ago (don't even think about asking me how many years ago), a bunch of us gathered for some activity after school. One member of our group was not there...matter of fact, she rarely joined us. So we all started to gripe about it and Mary said that it was wrong to talk about this person behind her back. She then walked out. I remember few details of my high school days, fewer names cross my mind. But Mary McLaughlin was and, I assume still is, a true leader not having to advance herself by stepping on someone else. And if she became involved in network marketing, I am quite sure she would not bad mouth anyone's business by branding it as a scam in an attempt to enhance hers.

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.

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.
