Top Ten Questions asked by Tire Kickers looking into network marketing

1. Is an Internet Marketing Business Risky?

- I love that question.  I will answer it partially with a question.  Is your job risky?  Being that companies are laying people off left and right, I would have to say that your job is way riskier than having your own business.  With any venture comes risk and overcoming risk leads to a chance of victory.  Personally, I never think of my business as being risky, I think of it as my ticket to a better life.

2. How much money will I have to invest?

-As much or as little as you want.  Here is where most people blow it.  Must get started in an MLM/Network Marketing company and think that just because they paid their sign up money and have bought product, they are in business..Yes and no.  That just got you started.  You will now have to invest in your education, tools for your business, marketing and anything else that is associated with becoming successful in your industry.  It’s your business and your future.  Treat it like a hobby and it will pay you like one.

3. How quickly can I make money?

-As quickly as you want it.  Now let’s get this straight..MLM’s take a substantial amount of  time to build.  I played that game and failed miserably.  I never made money online until I started my own online business with some partner companies and I made money my first month and every month afterwords and it keeps getting better and better.  You can get into some cheezy mlm for a few hundred bucks or….You can get into top Tier Direct Sales for a few thousand on up to twenty thousand.  All depends on where you want to position yourself.  Come in high, get paid high, come in low..Well you get the point.

4. Do I have to sell anything?

-In MLM, yep and you betcha. In top tier direct sales, nope, it sells itself through a funded proposal system that sifts and sorts your prospects for you and follows up with them on autopilot. Your choice.  I always say, I don’t sell, I market.  There is a big difference.  I never convince anyone to join my business. I give them enough information on my website to make a qualified decision themselves.  All I am left with is a qualified prospect with money in hand wanting to know where to put it.

5. Do I have to talk to people on the phone?

- ummm.  That is a silly question.  We are in a people business. Its relational and yes, your going to have to develop some self esteem and learn to talk to people if you ever want to become successful in any business.  In my company, we have business coaches that call all of my applications for me.  I love it.  But ultimately, I try to talk to as many of my leads as possible.

6. Do I need a business license?

-Silly rabbit. Nope. See, when you own an online business, you dont have to deal with the same hassles that traditional businesses deal with like liscenses, light bills, employees, payroll, etc. etc.  You dont need a liscence but you do need a social security or Federal tax ID #.

7. How much money have you made so far?

-First, let me tell you what I think about that question before I attempt to answer it.  Generally people don’t go around asking people how much money they make at their JOBS right? So why do people have the audacity to ask that question to business owners? Ignorance is the only thing I can think of.  Ok, here is the answer.. I make more money in a month than the majority of people in the world make all year long, period… How do you like them apples? It’s there for you too.

8. What kind of tax benefits do you get?

- I am no accountant nor tax attorney but I will tell you that the tax code was written for business owners and not employees.  I write off my office space in my house, my phone line, internet, all of my office equipment and supplies. Dinners, trips around the country and a whole lot more.  Can you do that as an employee? Nope..Enough said about tax benefits, they are abundant.

9. Do I have to build a downline?

-Depending on whether your in MLM or Top Tier Direct Sales, the answer is a little different.  In MLM, You get paid on multiple levels so you have a vested interest in helping people help people help people. So yep, you better build a huge downline so that your $200 autoship/person ads up to $50K/month in your pocket.  Try 20-30,000 reps in your business.  In Top Tier Direct Sales, I can make that with about 10 people in my business and it builds itself, I just support the process and my team.  Which would you prefer?

10. Is there a time limit on my success?

-Only if you put one there.  Most people put time limits on whether something is going to produce for them or not and when that time limit is up and nothing is produced, they QUIT.  Why, because they have no vision.  I read a book that states man without vision will perish.  There is no time limit on success.  For me, I knew that I knew that I knew that I was going to be successful.  Take as long as you wish.

Now that I have answered all of your most frequent questions, what are you waiting for?
