Are You Setting Your Downline Up To Fail?

Are you a hard worker when it comes to marketing your online business? If so, then you may be setting your down-line up to fail.
If you’ve noticed, many marketers are doing A LOT of different things to build their online businesses. Many marketers are creating lead capture pages, using auto-responders, putting together you-tube videos, doing live conferences, setting up blogs, marketing their businesses online and even creating their own information products to build their businesses. There is nothing wrong with this, but you have to understand something that is really important. Your down-line in most cases will want to do exactly what you’re doing if they partner with you. If they do decide to partner with you, this can be VERY discouraging to them and this is very understandable. Most people simply want to join an opportunity and start making money. If you’ve been marketing online long enough, you’ll know this is not possible in most cases, but many business opportunities on the internet give newbie marketers the impression that this is exactly what they can do. I’ll admit, many opportunities throw out pitches that can be very deceiving. Marketers like myself who’ve been around long enough know better though. In order to make money from MLM or affiliate programs, you must advertise and market your business properly.
If you’re a newbie marketer, you should be VERY careful if you join anything under a sponsor who uses powerful marketing strategies to recruit you. Chance are that you’ll have to do exactly what your sponsor does if you want to duplicate what he/she is doing. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced marketer, your marketing strategy should not be too difficult to follow. If your marketing strategy is too difficult, no one will be able to follow what you’re doing. Yes, you’ll be able to make money, but the people in your down-line simply won’t be able to keep up with what you’re doing. I know this from personal experience. About 2 years ago, I was in a business where I earned over $10,000 in a very short time. I sponsored many people, but I didn’t have one person in my down-line who could follow what I was doing.Yes, I was able to make money, but I felt bad for the people who could not follow along with what I was doing.
Most people I recruit into any program I’ve ever joined have failed. I’m not saying this to discourage you. I’m just being honest. I’ll admit that I’ve used many marketing strategies that many people simply could not follow. Think about this for a moment. If you join my main business under me today, you have no idea how I even market my business before joining. All you see is the business opportunity with a hyped up sales pitch. You don’t see the money I spend on advertising. You don’t see me sending out emails to my list on daily basis. You don’t see the phone conversations I have with potential partners. You don’t know that I may have used a personal lead capture page I created that is tied in with my auto-responder. Like I said, all you see is the business opportunity with a hyped up sales pitch. I make a lot of money from my main business, but I already know that most people simply do not have the drive to market the way I do.
I’ve learned that 95% of failing marketers should stay away from MLM opportunities and affiliate programs altogether and stick with passive income solutions where they can earn guaranteed money without sponsoring. This will ensure that they don’t lose any money. There are many programs on the internet that a person can join without spending any money at all and make really good money it they put their mind to it. There are also investment programs(can be risky) you can get into as well.

Hope this has been helpful to you in some way. Just know that if you put your mind to it, the sky is the limit. If you don’t think you’re up to learning how to market online, stick with passive income solutions.
Take care,
