Network Marketing Blogs – I Am Not Paying For A Business Center!
Image by tind via Flickr
$149 is way to much money to pay to start a business, then if that isn’t bad enough I have to pay $30 a month. Forget this, it’s gotta be a scam! I really do hear something along those lines frequently. The reality of the matter is that starting a business online or offline really could cost tens of thousands of dollars before even seeing a profit. Of course if you get yourself one of those fancy network marketing blogs set up , you would spend thousands less for exposure to your business opportunity.
Network Marketing Blogs – Not Everything Is A Scam
Another reason why network marketing has a bad rap is because many times people are sold on all the money they can make, but they never actually become a product of the product. They simply just want money. This type of mentality comes through on many of the network marketing blogs I have read.Â
Consequently many people join businesses based on hyped up marketing, only to discover that their network marketing team really doesn’t offer much help. Even worse they aren’t even sure what they are going to do with the product.
Network Marketing Blogs – The Business Center
One of the biggest hurdles for someone to get past is the business center. Let’s be clear on one thing, if you are in a network marketing business or thinking about a network marketing business you are indeed doing it for the money. Generically speaking what you get for your 1 time payment is your replicated website. You will also hear terms like quick start bonus, fast start etc.. When a person joins, the person that referred them earns a percentage of that.
One last thought… Don’t think about how much something cost, rather think about how much you can earn.

You’re absolutely right. Everybody these days think that they can make thousands of dollars per month without spending anything. It’s true that you can do that almost without any costs, but only if you spend months working hard everyday. Money is the easiest and fastest factor to invest in when it comes to building businesses. As they say “Money brings Money”

Hi David, it’s true you need money to make money..
Jumping in without knowing what to do with the product can mess up everything. The internet is a very big place and there are numerous players out there trying to either help or to trap you and it would be utter folly to just join some team without proper research. New beginners specially, should read such informative articles. Great write-up Larry!

Thanks Mel !
If you are referring to MLM as Network Marketing, then the word SCAM is really hard to separate from it.
Also, every once in a while a thread will appear over at WF highlighting a case where some gets sued.
Personally, I prefer to stay away from these.

Hi Mark, Network Marketing “IS” MLM, multi-level marketing, direct sales etc…
There are bad apples in every bunch.

Great post.
I am totally agree with you. Menatality of earning more and more without paying or paying less than required will emerge such situation.
Anyway thanks a lot for sharing this so that folks who do such thing might get to know that sometimes PAYING is also equally important for LONG TERM benefit.

I also agree with you Larry! This is a business like anything else, it just costs less to get started.
I honestly believe the reason most people complain about it is because they aren’t willing to do what it really takes to move forward in their lives. Whether it’s through this method or another. They want something for nothing or they still have that lack mentality and aren’t willing to change. That’s really too bad.
Thanks again, enjoyed the post and LOVED the video!

Hi Adrienne, thank you!
earning something out of expanding much money is not a good idea but if one can earn more than expanded than nothing can be better than that

Hi kathrine thanks for visiting my blog.
You know the saying. “Nothing ventured is nothing gained”
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
“You must invest money, if you want to gain money” This statement is the real thing. Investing is good if you profit from it, but a lot of crooks it taking advantages of this and fooling people to earn money or simply scam them. That is why we need to be wise in investing, specially online. MLM is a good business with a minimal investment.

I know everyone likes to say “it takes money to make money”, but let’s not forget the other saying “if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is”. No matter which business you decide to start, one thing is for certain – if the business is going to be both sustainable and profitable, then you can bet the farm it won’t be easy. Anything worth having is going to require hard work, simple as that.

I agree with you 100%
the minds of people are still at the same place they just know its better to earn something rather than having nothing. just still your mind is not a good thing. however spending more to expand is also not a good thing to do . we needs a proper planning.

It is very important to have a budget and sticking within that budget.
I have to admit that I entered this bussines because I was sold on the idea of “easy money”. I have to learn and remind myself almost daily that this is bussines where you have to work hard and spend some money to see results, it is not really that much different from the offline world.

Hi Mario, I think many of us at one time or another thought about easy money.
Many moons ago marketing online was easy money.. But in today’s marketplace. The competition is a lot smarter.

Make sure you are aware of where you are spending your money because their will be so many different products, programs and services out there if you decide to start investing in your internet business. This doesn’t mean there are not a lot of quality places for your $$$ to go; just that you have to do your homework before clicking buy.
I can say that it is possible to make money without spending any penny in the process. However, it’s very difficult to work on this way because you need to do everything. Starting from planning, making an action, etc… In short, you need to be a boss and as well as an employee that can make yourself crazy! At least the capability of you to spend even just a minimal amount of money that will serve your investment is much in need.
