Several years ago I was invited to attend a meeting after I answered the question posed by a coworker "do you ever look at ways of making more money?" Well of course, who doesn't? This coworker convinced me that the two-hour meeting would change my life and my financial future forever. I figured I had nothing to lose (except my two hours). Well after that meeting and a few other gatherings I became an Amway representative. I was ready to hit the ground running so I could build my fortune. The problem was is that I didn't have a good appreciation on what I had to do to build that type of business. It requires talking to a lot of people just to get one person to sign up as a distributor in your downline. Yes - If you are willing to do that I'm sure you can make money in that type of business. So why didn't it work for me?

FEAR! Plain and simple. I was afraid to talk to the necessary amount of people it took to build a successful downline. When you talk to someone who has been financially successful with a business like Amway they will tell you that they made a commitment to "prospecting" any and all people that they came in contact with. Even total strangers. I could never bring myself to do that out of fear. That's why I failed.

So why is MLM still around? Can the average person make money in multilevel marketing? Do you have to market face to face to build a successful downline? I am convinced that internet offers a sound media in which you can build a business! Think about it. You can reach millions of viewers through the click of a button to promote your product or business opportunity. There is no face to face interaction, you can reach far more people than you could if you were network marketing over the phone or at a party or business function and you eliminate the fear factor. There is no fear of rejection if you can't see the person that is researching your opportunity. This is one of the main reasons that the average person fails at MLM - the fear of rejection. People do not want to be told NO.

Even a person without extensive business experience can attain success in MLM using the internet. We don't have to be average anymore! I made a conscious decision to build a better financial future for myself. Why don't you do the same? Research, investigate, discover, get excited, get involved, take action and go make some money!
