Why Is MLM Called A Scam?

Monday, February 9th, 2009

It’s amazing that no matter how beneficial, not only this business has been but the very business model has been, that there are still naysayers out there that will call what we do a scam! Or a pyramid scheme. Or whatever negative terminology that they can think of to call what we do.

In fact, I just saw this very thing in a movie that I saw the other day and I really wanted to share it with you today. Check it out!

Is MLM A Scam Or What?

We have these naysayers even though it’s been well documented that one of the best ways to make money is with an MLM or multi level marketing business. Everyone from Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki and Oprah Winfrey are claiming that these residual income opportunities are a great way for everyday people to leverage their time and limited financial resources and make good money. These people are rich. Do you think they’d be recommending this to you, risking their reputation and the integrity that they have if it didn’t actually work? This is one of the oldest and best ways to make money; using a leveraged residual income opportunity.

How is a successful MLM business leveraged? Simply stated you find several business partners and nearly everyone else you find does the same.  Everyone participating gets a piece of the pie.  The more people consuming products, the more you make.

People often refer to these businesses as scams or pyramids.  Believe me, there may be more than a few scams out there but most of the well known ones are very legitimate businesses with excellent products, training, resources and are designed to make you a lot of money, very legal money, I might add.

These are great residual income opportunities to take advantage of since you are your own boss. You have the power to set your own hours and work as hard or easy as you want.  Rewards come from your own efforts.

Someone I heard the other day mentioned his definition of a financial pyramid and I had to laugh.  So company BCA (Big Corporate America) has a president or two, a bunch of vice presidents, executives, middle management and 26 levels of people higher than the workers that actually do the all of the work.  The people at the top make way more money than the people at the bottom.  There are less people at the top and more at the bottom.  Tell me, if you’re not the guy at the very top, do you want to spend your life in this corporate pyramid, on the bottom?

In a legal MLM business, each and every person has the same chance to make money.  You are rewarded by your ability to add motivated team members. It’s much more “fair” that the ‘lion’s share’ of the rewards be given to those who earn it.

What You Need To Suceed!

One piece of information that I have observed is that you don’t need to personally sponsor a lot of people in order to be successful in an MLM business.  I’ve seen it with multiple people who are extremely successful in MLM.

In the beginning it might seem challenging to find people interested in joining your business but if you make a commitment to make it work, it will. You just have to keep at it.

What You Need To Succeed!

You need to sort through people as fast as possible in order to succeed quickly.  Your job is to find the right people, not convince the wrong ones. To your success!

The Twitter Effect!

Monday, September 1st, 2008

If you haven’t yet created a Twitter account then you are really missing out.

This service has exploded in growth in the past few months and I don’t see it slowing down anytime soon.  There are now MILLIONS of users and it’s becoming really mainstream. In fact i see Twitter related sites popping up all over the web.

I’ve been running some interesting tests and I’m already seeing some great traffic results — far greater than the traffic from Facebook or any other “Web 2.0″ service.

Facebook and the others certainly have their place, but Twitter is more powerful.  At first I didn’t really “get it” but now I do and the traffic stats don’t lie.  It works.

As a communications tool, Twitter is probably only second to email right now. It’s a great way to network with people as well as to drive visitors to any of your sites, blog posts, or sales pages.

But Do Not Wait…

Create a Twitter account now and start ‘following’ the people that you want to follow. Others will eventually follow you in return.  Observe how others post and you’ll quickly learn the culture, etiquette, and uses for Twitter.

It’s not rocket science.  In fact,  it’s a lot of fun. Just watch this short video on Twitter:

You really need to start today because the sooner you start the sooner your followers list will start growing and more people will see your posts, which will then virally grow from there.

Make Sure To Follow Me! There is also a link to Follow Me, right here on the Blog.

I’m actively tweeting ( explanation is below) all the time.

Create an account then go here:

Omarra Byrd

Click the “Follow” link that shows under my photo. There is also a link to Follow Me, right here on the Blog.

That’s it.  Everytime I post you’ll see it in your main “timeline” area.

After you click to “Follow” me look at the right-hand side of my profile page.  Click the blue “Followers” link and you can see all the people currently following my posts.  Follow some of these other marketers also, if you like.

Twitter is extremely viral. When you make posts (called “tweets”) they can be exposed to all the friends (followers) of others.  Then they can choose to follow you.

I think Twitter is going to really evolve into a “must use” marketing tool.  It’s a great way to announce you’ve just made a new blog post, released a new product, or anything else you’re up to.

I’m already seeing 40+ visitors each time I make a tweet that I’ve made a new blog post.

So trust me, this is no flash in the pan.  In fact, this may be one of the most powerful marketing tools ever, depending on how it evolves. 

But so far you’d be crazy not to use it.  It’s producing great results.

Take 2 minutes to create an account, you’ll want to do it now so you can at least get your name before someone else takes it.  Or your company or product name, etc.

Just go to:

 http://www.Twitter.com

Then visit my page at:

Omarra Byrd

And click the “Follow” button that is displayed under my photo. There is also a link to Follow Me, right here on the Blog.

See you on Twitter!

You will definitely want to be following me on Twitter because I’m going to be doing some really cool stuff with it soon.

The Internet Marketing Cure?

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Who is this guy, and who is he to claim that he has a Cure for Internet Marketing? Well, his name is Scott Boulch, and he creatively calls himself a “Doru”! You might be saying, ‘What the *#@! is a Doru!’ If you are, I can’t blame you, I said the exact same thing.

 

The Internet Marketing Cure!

The Internet Marketing Cure!

The Internet Marketing Cure!

 

His explanation is that a Doru is a person who is doing and implementing whatever it is that they are trying so whole-heartedly to sell you on. He claims that they are the exact opposite of a Guru who attempts to sell you on any and everything that he can promote without ever implementing ‘the next best thing’ himself first! His only concerns is his affiliate commissions! So he will get into bed with any marketer who has a huge commission and promote that person’s product with the fervor of a raving lunatic!

That is just the tip of the iceberg! He touches on many more subjects like this in his ebook. Subjects that hit home with stinging truth! I won’t get into all of them here because I don’t want to spoil the read for you. Just click either of the two links above or below the ebook image, download and read the ebook! Then, of course, you have to come back here and tell me what you think by leaving me a comment!

Now on to a lighter note. You may have noticed that my comments on the blog have a picture of me by my posts. You may have thought that this was because it’s my blog and that was simply a feature of my blog. Well it isn’t. Anyone can have this same feature on any of their posts on any blog. It’s called an avatar. But how does it know when to put my picture up and not someone else’s? I ain’t no tech guy, by any means, so I can’t tell you how that works. What I can tell you is where you can go to get your very own avatar at though.

Just visit:

     Gravatar

and create your own by following the simple instructions there. Then show it off when you post a comment here!

Learn How To Speed Up Your Computer!

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

I have to tell you right off the top that you and me are quite possibly very much alike. Me myself, I am a very impatient man! If I want something, I want it now and I don’t want to have to wait until later. Are you like that also? Usually, most people are.

=================================================
-editor’s note-

IN A HURRY? It can all be easily explained here: PC Secret Formula

=================================================

I know this isn’t one of the best traits to have in your personality but I’m just a man, I ain’t perfect. So what does this have to do with what your computer may need?

Well your computer may be a lot like mine also. My computer was slow as blackberry molasses. That is until I came upon this valuable resource that changed all of that for me and my slow poke PC. If you thought that RoboForm was an incredible time saving tool, wait until you see this resource that I have tested and that I highly recommend for you and your computer!

Ever get frustrated with your dead slow PC that used to run like a champ? Are your downloads and uploads taking you crazy amounts of time? Do you wonder sometimes just how safe your PC is from identity thieves, viruses, malware and hackers?

Then you definitely need to discover this life saver of a resource that I just found out about. Developed by a former hacker turned certified computer geek, this is an easy formula that helps average, everyday folks like you and me to Speed Up, Optimize and Secure ANY COMPUTER… new or old, PC or laptop.

This formula literally takes you by the hand and leads you click-by- click, step by step through the process that your local computer geek or the guys down at the Big Chain Electronic stores will charge you hundreds of dollars for… all for an incredibly low price!

=================================================
-editor’s note-

IN A HURRY? It can all be easily explained here: PC Secret Formula

=================================================

Besides, have you ever used one of those guys to fix your PC? I have… and the results were a joke. About $250 later and my computer still didn’t work right. Plus I really don’t trust just handing over all of my private files and data to just anyone! Would you?

I’m sure you’ve heard all the horror stories that I have heard… critical files and data lost forever, fried hard disks, virus and spyware attacks… just to name a few. Wouldn’t it feel better to KNOW that you’re protected? I can tell you with great certainity it does for me.

How about speed? Do you realize there are hundreds of programs and scripts recording and archiving your every move as you use your computer on a day to day basis? Even worse, every last one of these things hogs up all your system’s resources and slows your computer down to a crawl. Use this formula to remove the programs and scripts that are not needed. The formula will show you how.

Now, I can tell you the best part, this formula is designed for even the BIGGEST COMPUTER ILLITERATES out there (that would be me). I am not tech savvy at all. Yet, this formula is so easy to follow even I could do it! I even followed along like I knew what I was doing!

If you still don’t think you can do that you can get the videos that were created to go along with this formula, that takes you through the process step-by-step and click-by-click with video. Some people work better when they can see it being done. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Better yet still all the resources that you need to follow this formula and implement it on your computer are FREE! You just need to get the formula!

It’s called PC Secret Formula and you really should do yourself a favor and check it out right away.

PC Secret Formula

It was one of the best decisions that I made in a long time! Check it out now before the price increases again. I got it for $9.97 and it has already went up $5.00 since I purchased it. The owner must have saw that it was selling like hot cakes! In order for you to take advantage of this hugely discount price you need to get your copy RIGHT NOW!

PC Secret Formula

If you go to the link and you see that the price has increased then that means that you were too late. I hope all of you can get there as soon as possible because your computer needs this formula and you need to get The PC Secret Formula at the discounted price!

If you do pick this up, please be sure to drop me a line and let me know how you liked it? The same goes for the videos too! In the meantime here is a video showing you just how this formula works on my computer!

Okay I need to give you this warning before you start the video, I haven’t optimized my mic on the live feed yet, so the start of the video is very loud. You may want to turn your speakers down. But, my screen capture part of the video is done with my headset, which I have optimized, so once you get to that part of the video you may need to turn your spekers back up again. Sorry for the inconvenience! Now with no further delay…

As always please leave me your comments, concerns and questions! Tell me what you think, what you feel, heck tell me what kind of day you had today. I would love to hear from you! Until next time…

RoboForm an Internet Marketing Tool!

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I believe that RoboForm is one of the most useful Internet Marketing Resources that is not used to it’s fullest potential! I have been a firm believer in RoboForm for a couple of years now. If you have ever followed any screen captures of the so-called “Gurus” online, you will see that almost all of them have a RoboForm toolbar in their browser window. Why is that?

Well, simply put, it’s because the potential of RoboForm makes it any Internet Marketer’s dream tool. The various options that you have for it’s use are many. In fact I created a PDF Report that deals with many of it’s uses from an Internet Marketer’s point of view. These uses are not the standard uses that Tech Smith intended for it’s software but they are uses that RoboForm can perform well within it’s scope of intented use.

For instance do you use article marketing as one of your ways to drive traffic to your site? Did you know that RoboForm could help you in this capacity? In fact, not only help you but also cut the time that it takes for you to manually do this task drastically. I show you how in my Special Report.

Do you search various sites on the Internet for information. We all do, that may have been a stupid question! The real question is, did you know that you can save all the different sites that you search to your RoboForm toolbar and now search any one of them in two clicks? One click to the toolbar and then one click to the search button. I show you how in my Special Report.

Want a free download of RoboForm? There is one in my Special Report! Watch the video:

     The RoboForm Video!

Now do you want to read the report? You can get it here:

Any Marketer’s Dream: Word Of Mouth!

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

In my last post I placed a video in the post and asked the readers to explain what this video would mean to them in terms of their business. If you have yet to read that post and see the accompanying video, then I suggest you scroll down to my last post, watch that video, leave a comment and then join the rest of us right here. We’ll even wait for you to do that before we begin…

You back already! Well, anyway, what do you think this short commercial represents? For me, this video represents the power of “Word Of Mouth”! Word of mouth is such a powerful weapon in your business, whether it be an online venture or an offline one. Why is it so powerful?

It happens to be very powerful because in most word of mouth situations, it tends to be just everyday conversation. We live in a world of constant advertisements. So much so, that in our psyche, even on a subconcious level, we have been trained to tune out any form of marketing. We’re bombarded with forms of advertisement every step of our day. In the morning we have commercials on the radio when we get up. If you check the weather, you will most likely have to wait until the run of commercials is over before you can get the temperature. Even once it does come on, it begins with the lead in of, “Today’s forecast is brought to you by…”! On the way to work we have radio commercials again, billboards, the tax person in the gorilla suit or the statue of liberty outfit. If you get to work and check your email, you have pop-ups. If your pop-up blocker is on then you still get hit with banner ads! And on and on, and on and on!

As a people we have learned to tune all of this, once clever, forms of advertising out. We’ve become immune to it and honestly, oblivious to all of it’s herculean efforts. So what does this mean for the marketer? It means that you have to find other avenues in order to get your message heard. Which is why word of mouth is such a great form of advertising. With word of mouth you find yourself in a conversation, instead of being shouted at! Which is what most advertisements amount to. Someone screaming at you, “BUY, BUY, BUY!”

Why do you think social marketing is so big right now? Simply because social sites amount to conversation. You have peers talking to you, not at you! Master this in your marketing and you’ll reap the rewards of breaking through that marketing barrier that many people have up at all times!

How can you attain “true” word of mouth and not feigned word of mouth through spamming the social site hemisphere. Over deliver on your product. Put what everyone else wants ahead of yours, starting with your customer’s, also your affiliates and your JV partners. If they can get what they want and more, you’ll get more than what you were looking for! As always your comments are welcome.

On a side note, I have a funny video for you guy’s that I actually taped myself. The unsuspecting victim had no idea that he was even being recorded! The victim was me! My web cam must have popped on while I was burning the midnight oil and exposed me in my weakest state of sleep deprivation. You might want to turn your speakers down since the king of the jungle has a mighty roar!

You can hear the washing machine in the background going strong and everything. That’s a pretty good mic! If you can’t laugh at yourself then you don’t deserve to laugh at all. Until my next post…

New Video To Analyze!

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

I’m up late tonight working on my next project that I hope will be a benefit to all of my members. In the end I’m sure that all of this sleep deprivation will be worth it! There was a video that I saw once before that I wanted to use for this post but I didn’t know if I would find it. My seemingly endless search of You Tube eventually paid off though and I have it here for your Enjoyment!

One last note: please disregard the advertisement itself at the end, I want you to focus simply on the concept of this commercial.

This video, for me, represents the most important aspect of any business, whether online or in the brick and mortar field (that means offline for you “newbies”). Do you know what I’m talking about? Post a comment answering that question. I’ll answer it in my next post.

“Battle At Kruger” Second Analysis!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

First of all, have you watched the, “Battle At Kruger” video? If not, then scroll down to the previous post and watch the video in it’s entirety, read the post and then leave a comment! Then venture back to this post and continue on with the discussion of this video. Please tell me what you think. This blog is receiving plenty of hits but I still don’t see anyone posting comments! You do the math on that one! Please register and post comments. Your feedback is what makes all of this even possible!

So what else can we take personally from this unique video from the web. There is a lot that can be taken from this video. One of the things that I felt was that this video was a great example of the power of perseverance.

At any moment that calf could have given up his fight for life, just laid down and not resisted the frontal attacks by the lions or the crocodiles. If so, he may have been dead even before the herd had a chance to even attempt a rescue. Do we at the first sign of any resistance find ourselves giving in to heavy pressures? Or are we similar to this calf and fighting fully for our dreams and in all actuality, our life?

Or how about the power in numbers? Just the sheer numbers of that herd was enough to scare off a pack of lions. In our Online pursuits, the power of numbers can never be under estimated! Could you use the support of others giving you much needed encouragement whenever times seem to be at their roughest? Who couldn’t?! How about others pushing you to chase your pursuits and accomplish your goals?

I’m in the process of creating something that will do just that: Create power in numbers! Stay tuned for that.

For now just post a comment telling me how this video could apply to you directly or indirectly. I can’t wait to read and reply to your comments!

But for now…
