Real Second Job/Volunteering vs. Instant MLM Reps Software

Tweet

If you are working in a network marketing business, chances are that ads upon ads of "instant MLM reps" software bombard you. But, the software often is a scam. Mostly, they'll make you pay for that service and you'll likely end up as an MLM failure story. So why squander your money for those "get prospects quick to get rich quick" schemes? (Some people believe all MLMs are "get rich schemes," and I respect their opinions. Ditto for those who quit them and never look back.) The best way to get new reps (and customers, should they think of it as a scam or are not in the process of starting a business yet) effectively is to get a real second job. I know, it sounds hokey because you'll probably have to face a horrible-ape manager/boss and have to work your 9-5 on top of your 9-5. On top of that, it's a slow process to get to know people. But in the long run, you'll eventually get new leads with the right piquing methods and their readiness to work with you in the business (providing they are). If they are not interested in it or think it's a scam, at least you'll obtain customers effectively. If a second job sounds daunting or if you are doing an MLM and still can't find a job, at least do some volunteering. Do you know a hospital, food bank, or cleanup crew in your area? Don't be afraid to join in. Just like a second real job, you'll meet new people and get to know them and they will eventually be your new sponsors or customers. I figured that out months after joining one network marketing business, but it would have been much more effective for me if I've done that sooner. (I'm jobless and doing an MLM, by the way.) So ditch the idea of considering software that promises you free representatives! At least help out in the community in person or if lucky get a real job when doing an MLM. You'll get yours effectively without having to spend a lot. So, how do you get new business partners and customers without having to spend money or get scammed? How effective are those methods? Again, I respect everyone's comments (even those who perceive all MLMs as Ponzis) and am not afraid to respond to them.
