Why is the failure rate in MLM so high? People are attracted to this industry because they want time and money freedom but many never stick around long enough to realize that dream.
These people will have spent a chuck of cash to get into the business opportunity and most likely have also spent money on products that are destined to sit in the garage collecting dust…don’t let this happen to you.
Why Do People Give Up On Their Network Marketing Business?
The short and straight answer to this question is because they are not making any money…plain and simple. Not only are they not making any money, more often than not they are losing money!
It takes time to make any real money in MLM, it’s definitely not a get rich quick scheme. Every now and then you hear stories of someone that got rich after sponsoring a superstar but it rarely happens in the real world.
Actually, hoping to sponsor an MLM heavy hitter will damage your long term chances of success in MLM. Rather than having a lottery mindset, building your busy slow and steady over a longer time frame will bring better results.
The Primary Reason People Fail In MLM
Not having enough capital to market aggressively is the number one reason people fail in network marketing. Depending on the MLM company, autoship requirements may be quite high leaving little or no money for marketing activities.
As the cost of autoship starts to pile up with no signs of success, peoples confidence in being able to succeed in MLM starts to wain. This is the time most people are likely to quit.
In business, the phase between start up and reaching a level of success where profits are realized is called the dip. Every business has a dip but the length of the dip varies, it could be months or could be years. Top CEO’s go through an average dip of about 25 years before they get to that position, sometimes it pays to stick around to reap the rewards of your hard work.
Making It Through The MLM Dip
As mentioned earlier, a limited budget is one of the main reasons people fail in MLM. What’s the solution to this? One way that many savvy network marketers are getting through this dip is finding a way to bring in extra money while attracting their prospects. In many cases it’s a simple matter of creating a report that they can sell for a small price, typically between $20 and $40.
The has two big advantages;
1. Selling inexpensive information products gives you much needed cash flow into your business.
2. The people that buy your report are more qualified than people you approach about your business. These are people who have qualified themselves by investing money into learning about your business or product.
Creating Your Offer
Your report doesn’t need to be and exhaustive thesis on building a home business, a well written report with 15 or more pages will do fine. If you already have some articles written you can just put them altogether and use them as your report.
If can’t be bothered writing your own report, then getting someone to write it for you is also an option. There are some excellent outsourcing companies that you can get these kinds of reports written for a very reasonable price.
Another option is to sell someone else’s report and get a commission on the sale. There are quite a number of programs on the Internet that allow you to do this and at the same time you get the purchaser’s information so that they become your lead.
Having Your Cake And Eating It Too
The major reason for failure in network marketing is lack of money to continue in the business and the other main reason is because people don’t have enough qualified leads to speak to about their business. This simple strategy of creating an inexpensive information product solves both of these problems in one fowl swoop.
This is how many of the top network marketers are building their businesses on the Internet today.
It’s sad to think that as high as 97% of network marketers never get through the dip and realize their dream of financial freedom. It doesn’t have to be that way. If you would like to know more about getting through the MLM dip and how to avoid home business failure, I got just the story for you…
