Building a list of your friends and family. You know...your warm market. Companies love teaching you this. Why? If they have 100,000 associates and everyone builds a "list" the company is growing! What did this do for your business? OK...maybe you added one or 2 associates and got yourself a whopping check for $50.00. This method, mathematically speaking, is terribly inefficient.
Passing out business cards, brochures, audios and DVD's. Does this technique sound familiar? Companies love it! They make money all over the place. Every time you purchase one of their "promotional" products they're making money and guess what...when the one in 100 cd's that you handed out turns into a new associate their business just grew. Again, for them it's about numbers. If they have a huge associate base even if the conversion rate is only 1% they're still growing and better yet, they're making money off you every single time you run out of "promotional" items and have to purchase more. Not a bad situation for them now is it?
3-way calling. This has got to be one of the most counter productive methods to grow a business that exists. One of the biggest things that's critical in growing a business is that you need to be the expert. Not your upline or the "triple platinum" that's 3 levels above you. YOU need to be an expert. Why would you let someone else fill that role for you?
Hotel meetings and driving all over town. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of having a "home based business"? I can't tell you how many people that we consult with that are constantly driving all over town picking up meal tabs for this "prospect that's about to become a new associate". Uh huh. If we had a dime for every time we heard "I'm gonna bring this one in during lunch" we'd be rolling in deep, thick piles of cash.
The Product sales itself! I love this one. If the product truly sold itself why would the company need you? Do you think they would have resorted to network marketing as a business model and form of distribution to get their products in the hands of the masses? Fat chance. They would have opened up retail stores all over the country. They wouldn't have a need for you. I'll be blunt. Products don't sell themselves. They need advertising and promotion. Look at every commercial on TV.; radio, newspaper ads, etc are those products selling themselves. If so, why'd they spend big bucks to purchase airtime or ad space? Big myth. Please, for the sake of your wallet, don't fall into this trap. Products don't sell themselves. Companies know this, but it sounds so good when they make those types of statements that they can't refrain from telling us things like that. Products have to be marketed and if you are good at marketing congratulations.
The ‘ol 3 who get 3 who get 3 and you're filthy, stinkin' rich. I'm sure you've heard of this one. All you have to do is get 3 and then help those 3 get three and get those people 3 and POOF...your checking account explodes and you're making a nice tidy 6 figure annual income. This one almost makes me chuckle out loud. This mythical, completely unrealistic way of growing a business flat out, does not work. We have yet to see one single person (out of over 4,000 students) that has used this approach and found the success they were seeking. It just doesn't happen. You have to find true marketers who are willing and able to receive proper training. What is the purpose of having a business if you are not going to promoted properly. You have to find people who are organized and driven for success. How great would a real estate agent be for a broker if he just sits around expecting things to happen. It's the same exact thing just a different business.
All you have to do is put up a website, share it with your neighbors (or put it on your business card) and you're well on your way to a nice, sizeable income. This couldn't be further from the truth. If you've done any type of marketing you've quickly realized that this isn't the way to get the job done. Not even close. There truly is an art and science to how the site should be constructed, what to have on it and getting targeted visitors to your site that truly have a need and desire for what you're marketing. Just having a website means absolutely nothing. It's a tool that must be used properly and the vast majority of marketers have not been skilled on how to use it appropriately.
Holding home parties will make you rich! How many leaders do you know that are making in excess of a quarter million a year that are holding house parties? This is a technique that can and does work if you're looking to grow your business at a snail's pace and you're on the 40-year game plan to start making the "big bucks". If you're on a different plan, you need a faster and much more efficient way of making this happen. Home parties just won't cut it. There are other ways of making it happen that is a whole lot easier and you don't have to have strangers in your home every week either!
Look, we're not bashing on companies or even the techniques that they teach and promote. They're a business. They have to survive. If they don't you (and everyone else) doesn't get a check because they were forced to go out of business. They have to put the numbers in their favor. Companies know that only a very small percentage of associates are going to grow a huge business. Most associates have no clue on how to build an enterprise so they are forced to teach techniques that are very easy and simple for everyone to grasp and understand. Do they work? Absolutely, but statistically speaking, not for the vast majority. Honestly, what happens when your warm market runs out? What happens if you go to do a 3-way call and your upline doesn't answer? You may use these techniques and enroll 10 or even 20 people into your business, but it also might take a year or two to make that happen. If you're like most reading this you're on a different timeline. You'd rather be doing that in a week. It is possible...you're leaders and true marketers do that every single day...sometimes every single hour!
The bottom line is the claims they are making a legitimate claims, but the majority fail. WHY? Because we are lazy by nature and we tend to follow the leader and money strikes our interest. All network marketing is a way that you can earn residual pay but you must be willing to run it like a business. Find the right people who have the same interest as you do. Remember you are promoting a product or a solution. Do your homework don't let others dictate your future, and know that MARKETING is one of the keys to your success.

How To Get 1 Million Visitors Without Paying A Dime In Advertising!
Are you frustrated by the lack of traffic coming to your site?
Let's talk candidly!
The reality is, even if it's true that at this precise moment there are literally hundreds of millions of surfers on the Internet, it's just not true that it's easy to get them to visit YOUR website!
Are you wondering why some sites are getting millions of visitors while yours is only getting hundreds?

If you are a person with NO advertising budget, you really need to read this article! If not, you will never get enough visitors on your web site and it will die in a couple of months ... like so many others have!
Contrary to what every fast-buck artist claims about the so-called "it's-easy-to-make-money-on-the-Internet" dream, 95% of all the millions of existing web sites are not making a dime on the Internet!

It is a proven fact that the majority will never do anything else other than waste money, effort and time with their web site.

Answer by Mr. Ducharme: "Nowadays, everybody is buying advertising on Google because free advertising brings very poor results.
... or should I say, used to, because the rules just changed ... Technology always improves: Well, I've just launched THE new tool everybody will want to use from now on.
I've just invested half a million dollars in programming. It literally took me 4 years to create it ... and it's amazing!

Here's an interesting article we've found that we think will interest you:
"Not so long ago I was making $400 a week. I was drowning in debt. I was stressed. I was terrified to go to the mailbox every morning and see the amount of bills I had received. The last months, I simply piled them up in a closet, without even opening them, because I knew I just couldn't pay them anyway.
I NEEDED MONEY. So I went online to find a way to make money.
If you could cut $10,000 off your mortgage, what would you use the money for?
That's the whole point of Let Your Mortgage Make You Rich!
We all know we should be investing more. We should be putting away $300 a month, or $500 a month, or $1000 a month - or more - depending upon our current age, desired age to retire and lifestyle goals.
But where does the average family get that kind of money?
Since your largest single payment each month is likely to your friendly lender, and since most of that money goes to interest (not to paying off the debt!), anything that helps you avoid those hefty interest payments is the same as money in your pocket.
Just a little while
Your mortgage will be paid off one day. What if that day were within 5-8 years, instead of 20-30? Would you then be able to direct the amount of your current house payment to some investments that would serve you well during retirement?
Try this scenario on for size. Let's say you have a $150,000 balance with a $1000/month payment. Whenever your home loan is paid off, you begin directing $1000/month to investments.
at 8% return for 20 years, compounding monthly, you'd have about $593,000
at 11% return, $1000/month for 20 years is $874,000
If you were paying a larger house payment, for example $1750, your payments going to investments would create:
at 8% return for 20 years, compounding monthly, you'd have about $1,038,000
at 11% return, $1000/month for 20 years is $1,530,000
at 15% per year average, compounded monthly, $2,653,000
That's a lot of money! All accumulated because you paid what would have gone to a home mortgage into a sensible investment account instead.
Is it possible to get visitors to your website for free?
