: I think humans have a very strong need to know why and how. We have a hard time simply being in the "unknown" or the "mystery", which is the same to me as wanting closure.

: Hi five folks - when I tried MLM what I was taught was especially with certain products and depending on which products chosen - was its best if you use the product yourself so you understood what it was all about before you sold it on to a customer because some how I was told the prospect would be more in tune with you if you honestly spoke about the product from experience and I think I got the message back from my own customers with repeat orders - some how the pay structure was the last thought in my mind and thats probably the reason I drifted away from MLM I should have read a post like yours before I went in to MLM - then MLM might have turned out differently - what i did like about the MLM biz was the enthusiasm spread by the most successful dealers in this MLM industry it was very refreshing and a buzz going to the distributors meetings a lot of marketing knowledge can be learned through this kind of salesmanship model -

Way to go Bill great post mate

: Great article Yaro,

I really like your point about looking for people that are on fire about what they do and supporting them. Although it may take a few years, supporting a network of enthusiastic, positive people could lead to all sorts of incredible openings down the track.

: It was funny to see 'needing a hubby' from a guy. :-) Your article is spot on, though, because just getting a name on your list doesn't mean much of anything. This is even more true in the age of social media where the buyer has all the power. Consumers have gotten much more savvy and are demanding high quality products and excellent customer service. All honest biz owners should applaud this development.

: There is a huge market for green businesses now. The people are very concerned with the environment and protecting it, but they need people or businesses that are not only concerned for the environment but know what they are doing when installing solar panels for example. We need to stick together in order to save our planet from further damage.

: Wonderful list of ideas, Rita! And guess what. I'm part of a green business that I don't see listed there. I'll tell you a little bit about it.

Have you realized how many plastic bottles from bottled drinking water are thrown away these days? I've heard we have so many to dispose that we actually send some to China to be recycled.

The business I'm now a part of is water ionization. It turns your tap water into pure drinking water just like glacier hexagonal water. Very good for alkalizing your body (no disease can live in an alkaline environment) and very good for going green. Far less pollution when we don't have to dispose of water bottles.

: Wow, I hadn't read about this, I have seen that you can use Twitter not only as a social medium, but also a money making venture.

I think maybe not only is the moral of the story 'think before you tweet' - why is it that you're tweeting in the first place, is it to brand yourself for business, keep in touch with friends and family?

I think with technology the way it is, we've forgotten the good ole days of 'the telephone', not texting or emailing and actually visiting people in person, where one can.

Twitter is now the modern day version of 'bush telegraph'!!

Happy twitterererering :-)

: When doing any business online, you should take note of every single detail especially if there are payments to be made. Even those that offer money-back guarantees and trial periods still have some tricks to make you pay a whole lot more than what you expect! People who are looking for extra income online are usually the helpless victims of such promotions. I'm sure many are now aware of these scams, thanks for sharing your story.
