Most MLM opportunities involve selling (and thus inventory) a physical product and a lot of face to face contact. Recruiting other marketers to work on your team is a separate step, and often involves an “upsell” to get the target person to spend more money (beyond the product). Global Domains International, or GDI, is different. They have all the MLM Marketing Tools done for you and it involves no face to face selling. GDI and their MLM Marketing Tools help you promote what everyone wants these days (their own Internet domain name, website, and email, not to mention the business opportunity). The promotion involves really no sales. The team at GDI has put together a short high-tech sophisticated but informative video that your prospects can watch, and then want to go sign up for immediately. All you need to do is generate the prospects, using methods from several options provided in the MLM Marketing Tools you receive when you sign up.  

Another item that other MLM opportunities have in common is that they often involve high start up costs that many cannot afford. If you are selling a physical product, you need to have the actual products in order to let your customer see them. With GDI, you can actually begin using the MLM Marketing Tools immediately after you join, and you get them absolutely free for 7 days as a trial. There is no inventory since the tools are all online. After the trial period ends and you get to see how effective the MLM Marketing Tools are, you can continue with the program for only a very small nominal monthly fee.

The core of the GDI MLM Marketing Tools is really owning your own domain name using the .ws domain. For example, it is easy to reserve www.yourname.ws (i.e. www.mikesomebody.ws).  The .com and .net domains are mature and are rapidly filling up with a lot of the key domain names already purchased and parked (with speculation on selling it to the highest bidder at some point in the future) or already in use. The .ws namespace is still wide open and has the natural affinity for the association of the word “website” (i.e. .ws).

You really can have everything you want in life, if you will just help enough other people get what they want. In noticing the payout and bonus schedule with the GDI offer, you really succeed with their MLM Marketing Tools by helping others get their own business started and having them build their own team. As you sign up people to help promote the domain name, website service, and business opportunity, you profit and they profit from each internet domain they promote (again there is no real direct selling here). The MLM Marketing Tools offer from GDI almost sounds too good to be true.

In Summary, the opportunities presented and the MLM Marketing Tools you get with Global Domains International really do help you succeed without a lot of the classic face-to-face sales. The introduction and traffic driving systems, as well as the training video provided in the MLM Marketing Tools allow you to literally “sell while you sleep” to prospects, anywhere in the world. This represents quite a difference when compared to other MLM type products. If you are really comparing two MLM opportunities and one of them includes the MLM Marketing Tools offer from GDI, I speculate that you could actually do both since with the GDI MLM Marketing Tools, there is no direct selling, or competition against others, or against the competitors. Terry & Sara Orsack and their website http://www.GetGlobalDomainsInternational.com have all the details behind this effort.

Members of multilevel marketing (MLM) currently are growing by leaps and bounds. But just as there are multiple members of MLM, there are as many myths and misconceptions that surround those who practice multi level marketing.

The following are myths commonly associated with MLM.

First MLM myth: Multi level marketing is a form of pyramid scheme.
The fact is that – it is not. Fist of all the obvious difference between MLM and a pyramid scheme is that the former is a legal means to perform business while the latter is definitely illegal.

The common process in a pyramid scheme is that you usually have to part with a significant amount of you hard earned money in exchange for literally nothing. You get no visible services or goods. What you are supposed to have is a lot of luck and a chance to double, triple or quadruple the money you put in – if that is ever possible. But chances are — and there is a lot of chance of this happening – the only person or persons that do get rich are the ones on top of the pyramid.

The idea is that pyramid schemes is a way to transfer funds from one person to another.
But in multilevel marketing, you are given the opportunity to involve yourself in a system of business that is legal. There are actual products distributed among MLM members and networks composed of various clients and buyers.

Second MLM myth: Multilevel marketing provides better money making prospects than
conventional businesses and business models.
The fact is that that is not the case for all MLM ventures. There have been instances where only a mere one percent of MLM investors and distributors actually gained profit. Meanwhile, those who earn a living via MLM are also smaller in number.
The conclusion that opportunities for success in a multilevel marketing business is slim is mathematically sound. This is because the structure of MLM can actually support a very small number of successful MLM winners.

Basically the system is unstable and the quantity of distributors in a specific area is unlimited, also there is no clear or specific market potential evaluation.

Third myth: Multilevel marketing is a Ponzi scheme in disguise

The fact is that – it is not. A Ponzi scheme derived its name from a man who existed during the 1920’s whose last name was Ponzi. Charles K Ponzi operated a scheme wherein older investors earned money literally by sitting down and doing nothing thanks to the influx of money invested by newer members.

The difference between a Ponzi scheme and a pyramid scheme is that the Ponzi scheme ollows no clear structure or hierarchy. Actually, there is only one — lucky – person who collects money acquired from new investors. This person then uses the collected funds to reward, award and give these cash to older investors who were earlier promised that they will be given the proceeds originally promised to be given to them.

So the bottomline is: if you are involved in a Ponzi scheme, you are then merely paying off profits originally promised to earlier investors. Ponzi schemers make you believe that they will help you make money when in actuality they are taking your money and giving it to those investors who earlier put their money in long before you did.
In a Ponzi scheme there is also no visible goods and services provided or distributed.

Fourth myth: Multilevel marketing is a way of life that gives you security and fulfillment.

The fact is that — it does not. In reality no such business exists that will give anyone a secure and fulfillin way of life. No business is perfect, there will always be financial ups as well as financial downs. And multilevel marketing is just as subject to that.
Unfortunately most MLM advertisements and come-ons involve truly tempting forms of materialism. The excesses presented by multilevel marketing companies would make even Fortune 100 companies blush. Most MLM ventures promise scandalous wealth, personal fulfillment and luxury.

Fifth myth: Multilevel marketing is as easy as one two three.

The fact is that MLM is not for the lazy at heart. There is a misconception that MLM equals to easy money. Some even think that all they have to do is establish a few contacts – preferably those they already know like family and friends – and from there wait for their checks to arrive in the mail.
Most people who actually get rich from MLM ventures are those that worked the hardest.

Several questions buzz in one’s mind regarding Multi-level Marketing business. People seem to be perplexed by the status of this business…is it really a business! Then comes the question of its productivity….can it generate enough money for livelihood? Is MLM business is a distribution business? Does it care for the satisfaction of customers and looks always for new customers?

All the answers of these questions are positive.

Let me clarify how and why it is called a business. There are 5 business factors test questions whose replies are required to qualify any venture as a business.

Does MLM business distribute some kind of goods and services?

Yes. Goods and services are distributed in MLM business by personal distribution methods. The goods are directly distributed to the customers without any involvement of middle man. The MLM company can certainly manufacture these goods and services but they generally don’t. In the MLM business, the goods and services are fabricated by outsiders; those are then shipped by the MLM business to the distributor or customer. The distributor now takes possession of the goods and is ready to sell them to their own customers.

Is there any existence of official office, headquarters or structure from where the MLM business is done, with an address?

Yes. Every MLM business possesses some sort of headquarters of office from where the goods are shipped; they must take the responsibility of the handling of the shipments to the customers. The office need not be a pretty looking edifice, but a structure which provides proper atmosphere to accomplish the necessary works in scheduled time. All the MLM businesses must have a visible address for the convenience to communicate.

But the distributor works out of this office as his business is home based.

Does MLM business possess a structure of accounts for an effective and legal running of its works?

Yes. The MLM businesses have an accounting structure; there should be professionals for taking care of the smooth running of all business transactions. These persons maintain the book keeping task for the MLM business as well as the MLM distributor. The MLM business taking place from home must also have some kind of an accounting function. This is needed for profit and loss statements and tax purposes.

Are there business licenses and legal structures of MLM business which are required to do business in the countries and states they work in?

Yes. Every MLM business, irrespective of the time period of their operation, requires having the necessary legal structures and business licenses to work in any corner of the world. They are subjected to cease in a state if they cannot show proper documents. A large portion of MLM business possesses some kind of a corporate body under which the company operates.

Is the basis of the operation of any MLM business ‘for profit’?

Yes. A traditional or non-traditional successful business, in general, operates on a ‘for profit’ basis. The MLM distributor even requires working on a ‘for profit’ foundation. This ‘for profit’ basis is needed because operating not in a mode of profit and incessant loss of money can mar the prospects of a business.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) home based businesses have very little to do with the selling of products. The very reason they are called MLMs is that those levels are what makes all the difference. The difficulty with MLM schemes and home based businesses is the building of as big of a downline as possible. Downline members are basically people who you refer to become part of the MLM sales team below you. These members then have to do the same, with more members in their downline, and each member in the downline at that level have to keep doing this before profits really begin to look like profits.

One way to find prospective downline members (or recruits) is lead generation. This is not as simple as it sounds and needs some amount of planning. Naturally, it is not going to be as easy as people seeing the advertisements about your home based businesses, its products and getting excited enough to sign up instantly. There are millions of MLM home based businesses out there with the same products and payouts. Most people considering joining an MLM scheme will have questions. At the very least, you should be able to answer all of these questions without repeatedly emailing backlinks to a FAQ page. To that end, you must familiarize yourself as much as possible with the MLM distributor, the products, and the compensation plan.

You have to have a comfort level with the knowledge about your own home based business so that when you talk to people it shows through. You might generate a ton of leads but if your answer is not satisfactory, chances are you will not convert most of those leads. Some sort of appointment calendar or planner should also be kept diligently so that follow-ups are not missed. It can take several callbacks before people will be willing to invest in your MLM home based business. You are basically selling, and selling can take convincing many times over.

So once, you know everything about your MLM home based business and you have the few basic sales tools in place it is time to start generating leads. To begin with, make a list of everyone you know, friends, acquaintances, relatives, anyone with a computer and an internet connection that could be a prospect. Start with these people. If you make mistakes in your sales pitch, they will forgive you and since their answers will be more candid, this will make good practice for later on. One important thing to do upon discovering that someone is not interested in your MLM business is to ask him or her for a few names of people who might be. This way you can build a healthy network of contacts. Sometimes they may hesitate to give you the names, so just ask politely for only the names of the people they feel they can give you without any trouble.

Start collecting business cards, email addresses, and phone numbers. This is for the purpose of making cold calls because you never really know who might be interested. Cold calling is one of the most difficult things to do for any fresh salesperson. It might be uncomfortable in the beginning but keep at it. All it needs is confidence. There is no trick to it. Then there are the MLM trade journals, another good lead generation source for home based businesses. People considering MLMs are already reading these journals. Sometimes it is a nice touch to include a press release, along with your advertisement. Naturally, the first rule of advertising is that your ad should be unlike all the others in order to get attention.

Most affiliate programs will have a hidden cost for those who don’t know better. That is the purchasing of MLM leads. The trouble is there are probably dozens of people out there with the same leads and the competition gets tougher. A lot of companies will have a list of emails and phone numbers for people who in the past might have shown interest in MLM opportunities. Purchasing leads for MLM home based businesses is finally a matter of how good you are at converting those leads.

There are a lot of people out there and a lot of websites that are in the business of nothing but selling leads. Therefore, before buying leads for a MLM home based business make sure that the leads are relevant and that a genuine company of good repute is providing them. A list of emails and names can be sold many times over, make sure you are getting fresh leads only. Do some background research on the company selling leads. The Do Not Call registry has phone numbers that you should not buy. Checking for those numbers is up to you. The company selling you the numbers is not required to do this.
