The Truth and Lies about MLM

With the quarantine and the movement of our world towards all things Social Media marketing, I wanted to take fa few minutes and share some truth and lies about MLM.  It is not the magic bullet for everyone so its important to hear some unbiased truth.

having built 2 businesses predicting multiple millions in the health and wellness space(one MLM) and looking forward to build another MLM among other endeavors, I wanted to take my resources of 1000s of hours and dollars of paid training and 10, 000 more in unpaid training and experience and multiply that into people who it will add value to.

Therefore..... if you are looking at MLM, this video is for YOU!

The questions I cover are:
  1. Do you have to sell?  Yes and No, I define selling and give some realities.
  2. How does it compare to starting a Brick and Mortar (pros and cons)? There are so many similarities.  And some key differences.  One I didn't mention in the video that I will here is that with a Brick and Mortar you are now in real estate and its now about dollars per square foot no matter if you'e selling food, doing hair, have a coat shop, a travel agency, or you are a Doctor's office.  You do have to think differently there.  
  3. Is it really easy money? It is pretty simple and with enthusiasm you can be successful, it will take skill to keep that success and grow it.
  4. Do I have to sell to my friends and family?  There is a big requirement to answer this.
  5. Do I have to invest weeks on end watching and attending every training to make any money?  You will need to do some basic things, but you may find this approach simplifies your life if you do decide to take the next step.
There are so many questions but these are recurring in my experience talking to people looking to know more.  I hope there are some gold nuggets in here for you....remember its just my experience and my opinion after all.  Make your pro and con list and factor in YOUR needs and goals and please share additional questions with me below!  I expect there are alot more questions and opinions out there!  Best, Anna
