I just started with a MLM company that sets up new or renewed contracts with cellphone carriers like verizon, t-mobile and sprint. So far it is working well and I am liking it. I have never done well in MLM but this time i have actually became the #1 seller after 5 days of working. I am super excited.
i have found clickbank affiliate marketing as the best mean of generating income but the mist interesting thing is that i only do seo through social bookmarking websites and gets traffic. this is my hobby as well as my business. all i read from woguide.net and find it really useful to get information about basics of affiliate marketing
Direct Selling is giving people an opportunity of Self development and learn how to become a great in branding and promoting themselves as such, not only a business opportunity of extra income and financial freedom. Those who think only of the money are the sales-man/women ;o)
Lisa, I love that you promote the places where we can make money also..my grandpop used to say, "If all you do is scrabble for nickels and dimes, then nickels and dimes is all you are gonna have. Much success girlllll!
Take any and all cash gifting systems. I believe I'm correct when I say that none of them claim to be a MLM company. In other words, their not a direct sales and marketing company. It really would be more appropriate to say "direct sales" instead of "MLM". If one cash gifting program is legal their all legal. That would be because of the model itself. Any time you have a downline, you have an MLM business structure. Just tryin' to help educate you. We can all use that I think.
To put it in few words, a pyramid scheme is just an MLM that has found a loophole and is disguised as a legitimate company selling some product. In both cases it's all about recruiting as many as possible and nothing else. There's no selling involved.
Hello, just getting acquainted with your work, and THANK you! You are the first person who has the guts to explain the difference between a true MLM and a pyramid scheme. Also, to help me assess what I am uncomfortable with in MLM. If you like a product, but don't want to recruit, is there anything wrong with just staying at membership?
I don't think she ever tried a real network marketing business not all business of MLM solely recruits. I can make a really good income just selling retail on my products I only offer the business opportunity if they find the value in it. Other than that I make them my customer b/c I benefit more from the retail rather than having someone whose not serious about the business working in my organization and having them make negative comments about the industry such as its a pyramid scam and such
I've been interested in MLM and affiliate marketing so it's nice to hear people's input...
I'm happy that you didn't say anything negative about MLM as I actually think that it's a very ethical way of earning money and moving quality products...
Love your information as always. I'm an affiliate marketer too and have never really tried MLM before now. I've read some positive case studies of other SBIers who are doing well (no selling, friends, family etc.) So I'm gonna give it a whirl the SBI way and see what happens.
Mlm is not a selling business. It is simply as she stated others simply recommend a product to you. It is a invite and give business which you can make a residual income from peoples purchases. Her affiliate strategy is the same strategy used as what the correct mlm way should be. She writes to her blog and her way of providing content and this is the same approach to mlm. Any business you have provide content to build a business. She would be a great mlm person.
MLM Business are for serious qualified people who are in your target market; those who can see themselves using the products each month.
The affiliate programs you sign into, as a Network Marketer/MLM Rep, should be relevant tools and services which the community can benefit from - This being upfront cash for funding the Biz.
The main thing I love with MLM is you have the ability for residual income from the same customer and from team effort. With affiliate marketing you make the sale and then that's it. Then the company you just referred to has the ability to follow up with them and keep making money from them forever. Lucky for me my networking company has great products that's gets millions of searches every month so I get the best of both worlds. Sales from my blog and residual team money.
@123viewyou This is not quite true. While this may be true for some programs, I belong to several reseller-based affiliate programs (GoDaddy and Hostgator have them) where you continue to earn as the customers buy more products. SiteSell and AWeber also have similar models. You just need to look for affiliate programs that pay recurring commissions. If my sites died today, I could live off my residuals.
@lisa3876 I know that some companies will offer recurring commissions but the majority of affiliate networks out there offer no recurring commissions. Even with aweber you will only be getting about $68 bucks a year per customer. With godaddy and hostgator I know it sounds good but the reality is most people won't be buying much more from these companies once they have their hosting. Maybe a domain name here and there but that is about it.
@123viewyou As a GoDaddy reseller I can tell you that is not true. They do an excellent job of upselling and my monthly product earnings are quite diverse. Of course I have a lot of traffic and maybe I'm the exception more than the rule. Even though most people only buy domains and hosting, multiply the monthly and yearly residuals of the 30,000+ customers I've accumulated and those hosting renewals add up for me. Not trying to argue with you but my earnings don't line up with your comment.
@123viewyou Now I would also like to say that I do believe residuals are harder to come by in affiliate marketing compared to MLM. My niche happens to have more than others. Reselling domains and hosting happens to be the reason I was able to quit my 9 to 5 four years ago (residuals alone) so I have to defend the system that has been working for me. I don't mind other opinions, but facts only please. :)
I would never do mlm because it's just too hard and stupid in some way. I look at some mlm "Leaderboard", which list the top sellers during a period. They're always the same one. You can't do mlm unless you're good at recruiting people, usually through lies.
The product you're promoting usually suck. Probably that's why they make it mlm in the first place.
I was with GDI program for a while and recruit a lot of people, but they drop because they can't recruit new people.
Im studying to become a border patrol agent but Lisa I love business and i love the idea of making money on the internet so Im going to do this as a hobby and i think is perfect for me because i enjoy it and Im willing to put lots of time to this business but first im going to do a lot of research before i begin my business .Affiliate is more of my style so far.
Just a tip.. i think that your videos are really good in the sense that it is telling the truth... but IMO your videos are kinda condescending (not talking about this particular video.. i mean you video in general) .. sometimes people just cant accept that reality, thus the criticism and bad comments. i think your videos should have more positivity in it and thats how u can more views.. and gives people a little more hope too...
Cool YouTube channel my friend, I just finished rating your latest video and appreciate the knowledge u bring forward. Please subscribe back and continue shining your gift with the world.
Aren't you able to do both? It's both pushing products, the MLM you talk about is the traditional way. Have you heard of Internet Network Marketing? Do both. Marketing is marketing!
and for all of you "GENIUS", every single successful business in the world is successful because they have mutiple networks, it's called FRANCHISING for all of you college graduates
are you guys serious......you're listening to someone that does her homework by going on GOOGLE......for all of you college graduates with fancy degrees, GOOGLE is a SEARCH engine, NOT a RESEARCH engine.....this lady is just simply bashing MLM because in MLM everyone helps each other, she's just selfish and doesn't wanna help others...she just wants to selll products and make money only for herself...someone needs to tell this GENIUS that not all MLM's get paid for "recruiting..
There are some awesome MLM programs out there. I am not bashing it. It's just not for me. I'm entitled to my preference just like you are. Thanks for the feedback!
@lisa3876 Hey Lisa, Cpt. Michael here from Thailand! I think he mistook what you where saying. You were just being honest sweetheart, and if you should want to try your hand at MLM, MYLeadSystemPro will make you a believer.Integrity and Trust is hard to find these days,so don't ever bargain yourself away. MLM truly does work, you just have to have the RIGHT product, that is, if you want to succeed.God Bless and Be Safe! Cpt. Michael out from Thailand! ManifestMLMOnlineWealth(dot)com
@lisa3876 Lisa i like your videos and because of your passion for SBI and the success that you are getting i am considering buying it. But to say that you search google and saw the negative things people say about the mlm is wrong. If you search for SBI on google you get the same negative bashing towards SBI. that is why i searched sbi on you tube, to hear from someone who is having success. 99% of people don't get rich in mlm or afm that is why they are at the top of the google list.
Hey there. This is a truly fantastic video! I am involved in online marketing myself and I work in a system which is a little easier to use than the one you are currently involved in. I think you could do very well here, I'd be honored if you'd check out my channel for info. You will not regret this.
Very very clear and very factual. I am apart on the MLM program that is really awsome. Thanks for the support, cause we need more educated people like you to put the word out there that what "they" think may be a pyramid, may not be. I witnessed a pyramid scheme with a friend of mine that was amazed by the cash that could be made..Yet there was no product and you had to give $10 for a pool and gose to some1 else til your turn comes. Crazy
Wow, Thanks for the info...figured out MLM is not for me I'm just not a pusher. I will definetly look into affiliate marketing as a means to make money online.
your actually not selling it's an indirect way of dealing with customers. The relationship ends their. Affiliate marketing is great and your right that gift stuff is not legal.
You don't get paid on recruiting people in legit MLM's, those are called headhunting fee's and that is illegal. Amway global, i know is a complete legitimate MLM company. Its growing larger everyday and its been around for 50 years. You don't last 50 years if your not legit. Just saying, i hate false information being spread in general about MLM's.
Hay you are right. I doing vidoes on M:M and pyramids. You are saying what I saying Cash gifting is illgal. You are right on the mark. I am finding I am not makeing money on affllates mlml programs.I love you for it . Go to the products websites doing afflilates. They are legal NIkon.cannon and soforth. A again I love you
You make lots of good points. However, I've found a MLM opportunity that is really an Affiliate Marketing program on Steroids. It is relaxed and you don't have to be a salesman and push it on your friends and family.
great video lisa. very clear and concise. the trick for newbies to understand is that you can also make very decent money in MLM as long as you are plugged into a system that allows you to affiliate market as well while u are building your name and driving leads to your site. ;)
A newbie can earn much more money (and faster) with affiliate marketing, then with multi level marketing. You can signup at Clickbank and promote digital products. It's not difficult to start a simple affiliate marketing business, you can learn it.
There are some good businesses here in the internet world, but there are alot more that are very shady and just after your hard-earned money. After years of experience, I can tell you which ones to avoid and show you ones that are very inexpensive (around $10) to start and very effective at creating a very solid and more importantly recurring income! I welcome you to view the videos on my page, you won't regret it!
Great video. It was informative and unbiased. I myself , am a network marketing addict. I just love the attributes inherent in MLM. The ability to create ongoing income, the compounding aspect and the chance to help others. The problem I ran into is I am sort of like you. I hate being pushy and I don't like rejection. So I started studying how affiliates do their marketing and I love the concept.
'Anyway loved the video and I definitely will be a subscriber.
However I think that you will be interested to know that what you say about MLM is not 100% correct. Even thouh your description of MLM fits most companys, they are in fact MLM+direct sales hybrids.
Traditional MLM is based on the idea of what you describe as affiliate marketing, where you symply share info on a product you enjoy with other people who do the same. No hard sales and convincing. Only difference is you get payed for several levels down
I make a living from affiliate programs and I know many others who do. I don't think I was overly negative about MLM. I even mentioned that many people find success with it. It's those pyramid schemes that are the problem and I clearly stated those are NOT really MLM. Sounds like you do well with it and that is great! Keep it up. It's just not for everyone, just like affiliate marketing isn't for everyone. I think we're saying a lot of the same things.
hmm some people think affilates are silly and a waste of time. Of course I'm not one of them. Heck if it works, then it works keep it up. Both of them are in the marketing business
A pyramid is when money is exchanged without a product or service given. Technically, corporate america is a pyramid more then a legit MLM program. The CEO has all the leverage, bonus etc.. from everyone else below. The people at the top of MLM work their butt off to get to that point. Everyone starts with 0 customers. I hope that helps.
Great video lisa. Comment on cash gifting. I was in a cash gifting program a while back, and yes you should do your research on it. The main reason why people says it's illegal is because people give gifts to join. If you get what i am saying. But having that said Great video.
Nice stuff Lisa. Put very well. MLM that you are talkining about is replaced by automated marketing system . with this approach, you stlll create content and followup are done by auto responders.
Hi Lisa nice vid on mlm vs affil marketing.. "In the end if you look hard enough and are honest.. Everything in life is a pyramid but only people can make it a scam." Elk
Lisa, FYI plenty of pyramid scams sold legitimate products, some were even quite good. But they were pyramids scams nevertheless. I have yet to find an MLM that IS NOT some form of pyramid scam. The model itself was rightfully criticised for its "intolerable potential to deceive" in the 1970s, and it's only spread like a cancer since then!
I also wish I saw this before i spent $800 on a mlm program that i will never use...affiliate marketing is the best way. I've created 3 sites so far and as an english major my content is niccee...
Yo i agree lol! I tried MLM and i was so stressed at that, I can't sell for anything, after i found affiliate marketing i realized i found the only way out.
The most effective way to make is living is with residual income & leveraged residual. MLM offers this to the common person with NO skills with just determination & desire. Most people want to have nice things & make money but they are not willing to do what it takes, instead they spend their time bad mouthing the industry when "THIS" industry has made more millionaires then any other industry combined, some of the wealthiest people in the world support MLM. Professions sort not sell.
I agree. Even though I'm doing extremely well with residual affiliate and reseller programs, there is some big money to be made with MLM. It's a shame that these worthless pyramid schemes that disguse themselves as MLM ruin its reputation a lot of times.
Hi Lisa, great video. You are 100% right about cash gifting programs. WIth any program, including a so called mlm program, if all the money that is being made is solely through recruiting, just passing money, and a rep does not have a physical product that is being sold to the end consumer, it is illegal and the federal governement will eventually shut that program down. So yes, homework is important!! I advise people to get educated before joining any program.
I like your presentation. I too have a problem with gifting because it seems shady. On the other hand I have never heard of anyone actually prosecuted and convicted. Hmmm
Hey saw your videos and was very impressed. I did purchase SBI and have a top ranked website with very little effort. And my site isn't even that great but just something I did for fun.
If someone is going to get into an MLM business then I suggest just make sure you have a good sponser who is a good marketer.
Very cool. Key phrase in that sentence "something I did for fun". Many of the successful sites online start because of something fun. That's the best way to start. Congrats!
I do have an interesting question and scenario Lisa. A company comes out with a new hot product with all kinds of benefits.
It's a monthly service so the commissions are residual.
They have decided to use the MLM model.
Unlike many MLMs the product will be purchased by consumers that are not in the business.
Would you join and just sell the product like you normally do? Then if someone sees your marketing and says I would like to join this business with you can say yes or no.
I like your initial explanation but we disagree about the MLM approach however. I don't blame you for not wanting to convince anyone to join anything. I don't do that either. Like yourself I record videos, give tutorials and write articles. If people want to join me in an MLM I am completely honest with them and let them know upfront that not everyone makes 6 figures in this industry. It takes hard work like any other profession that has the potential to make 6 and 7 figures.
That's great! You know it's always good to hear people succeeding and loving MLM. I really think it gets a bad name out here and there are some really solid programs if you are good at what you do. And it sounds like you've mastered it. Great work!
Crappy? Sure, tell that to Lisa's paychecks and all the other people out here making a living online as an affiliate (shall I go thru the list?). "The best way" to make money is relevant. What is best for Lisa and the other people making a full time living online may not be best for you. Find what you do best and stick to it. Obviously Lisa does this best. When you make the kind of money online that these people make, them maybe your comments will have more merit/respect.
your right about the cash gifting, I checked out a few sites on them and it's a shady area. Your position is correct and I join you in warning people about these guys, scam artist.
this is bogus, "two tier" sounds just like the pyramid scheme. I agree with much of what she says yet I don't trust her. If you didn't understand all of it, watch the video again. you may be able to see the contradiction is some of the things that she says.
The only thing bogus is you not knowing your facts. Two tier affiliate programs have been around for ages and they are perfectly legit. It would be like Best Buy paying you to refer someone to buy a TV from their site (which they already do) and then when you refer a friend to join their program you get a commission of your friend's sales. That would make it two tier. Many respected companies out here have Two Tier programs. Might want to do your homework before calling people out.
@smooshcrickets -powwebvideos has already taken you to school, but i want to get my licks in. i found this presenter to be quite open and straightforward. there were no contradictions. affiliate programs are FREE to join, while MLM programs have a FEE to join, which is why suckering a lot of people to join is so important in mlm. she said very clearly these second-tier affiliate programs are not the main thing for her because no matter how many join, most fail, so little money. watch again!
Lisa, Very good job. I'm featuring this video on a Squidoo lens I have about affiliate marketing. On a side note, another thing a some marketers are finding themselves in legal hot water over is email marketing.
I quit mailing to my lists and focus on social networking instead. keep up the good work!
You mentioned 2-tier affiliate programs. Does Clickbank come into the definition 2-tier affiliate program due to the fact that Clickbank comes in between the merchant and the affiliate marketer?
CB is not 2 tier, but they have a few residual programs where you earn multiple commissions from one product if it's on subscription based. I think you can sort by those programs if you go search their marketplace. I don't think there are many though.
SBI! does not pay you for multiple levels of recruiting people. They have an affiliate program but that is not MLM. For something to be considered MLM, recruiting has to take place more than 2 levels deep. SBI! does not pay you to recruit people who recruit people who recruit people to buy their product.
Great Video! I would like for you to visit my Regenesis website and if you think it's worth your time to get involved. Your a true leader and that's exactly the type of people I like to network with. Hope you consider it. Would love to hear your feedback.
Loved the video. I like how you bring your blog into promoting your affiliates. I do some affiliate marketing along with direct sales through my blog too. I'm Also not a fan of cash gifting. You're right on the money. I really appreciate your video. You're a smart gal.
Very informative. I thank you for telling people the difference between MLM/Network Marketing and pyramid schemes. I'm involved in network marketing and hate the stereotype that it is a pyramid when we have a quality product that many use and purchase more then their autoship!
I never thought of it like you put it and I appreciate your views.

Just a tip.. i think that your videos are really good in the sense that it is telling the truth... but IMO your videos are kinda condescending (not talking about this particular video.. i mean you video in general) .. sometimes people just cant accept that reality, thus the criticism and bad comments. i think your videos should have more positivity in it and thats how u can more views.. and gives people a little more hope too...

@lisa3876 Lisa i like your videos and because of your passion for SBI and the success that you are getting i am considering buying it. But to say that you search google and saw the negative things people say about the mlm is wrong. If you search for SBI on google you get the same negative bashing towards SBI. that is why i searched sbi on you tube, to hear from someone who is having success. 99% of people don't get rich in mlm or afm that is why they are at the top of the google list.

There are some good businesses here in the internet world, but there are alot more that are very shady and just after your hard-earned money.

Great video. It was informative and unbiased. I myself , am a network marketing addict. I just love the attributes inherent in MLM. The ability to create ongoing income, the compounding aspect and the chance to help others. The problem I ran into is I am sort of like you. I hate being pushy and I don't like rejection. So I started studying how affiliates do their marketing and I love the concept.

I have to say I enjoyed watching this video!
However I think that you will be interested to know that what you say about MLM is not 100% correct. Even thouh your description of MLM fits most companys, they are in fact MLM+direct sales hybrids.
Traditional MLM is based on the idea of what you describe as affiliate marketing, where you symply share info on a product you enjoy with other people who do the same. No hard sales and convincing. Only difference is you get payed for several levels down

MLM is not a Pyramid ! there is a pay plan system created and and when Products are sold, is it NOT a PYRAMID !
Most Affiliate Programs are also just selling INFORMATION .

I make a living from affiliate programs and I know many others who do. I don't think I was overly negative about MLM. I even mentioned that many people find success with it. It's those pyramid schemes that are the problem and I clearly stated those are NOT really MLM. Sounds like you do well with it and that is great! Keep it up. It's just not for everyone, just like affiliate marketing isn't for everyone. I think we're saying a lot of the same things.

A pyramid is when money is exchanged without a product or service given. Technically, corporate america is a pyramid more then a legit MLM program. The CEO has all the leverage, bonus etc.. from everyone else below. The people at the top of MLM work their butt off to get to that point. Everyone starts with 0 customers. I hope that helps.

Lisa, FYI plenty of pyramid scams sold legitimate products, some were even quite good. But they were pyramids scams nevertheless. I have yet to find an MLM that IS NOT some form of pyramid scam. The model itself was rightfully criticised for its "intolerable potential to deceive" in the 1970s, and it's only spread like a cancer since then!

The most effective way to make is living is with residual income & leveraged residual. MLM offers this to the common person with NO skills with just determination & desire. Most people want to have nice things & make money but they are not willing to do what it takes, instead they spend their time bad mouthing the industry when "THIS" industry has made more millionaires then any other industry combined, some of the wealthiest people in the world support MLM. Professions sort not sell.

Hi Lisa, great video. You are 100% right about cash gifting programs. WIth any program, including a so called mlm program, if all the money that is being made is solely through recruiting, just passing money, and a rep does not have a physical product that is being sold to the end consumer, it is illegal and the federal governement will eventually shut that program down. So yes, homework is important!! I advise people to get educated before joining any program.

lisa3876 2 years ago
I do have an interesting question and scenario Lisa. A company comes out with a new hot product with all kinds of benefits.
It's a monthly service so the commissions are residual.
They have decided to use the MLM model.
Unlike many MLMs the product will be purchased by consumers that are not in the business.
Would you join and just sell the product like you normally do? Then if someone sees your marketing and says I would like to join this business with you can say yes or no.
buzzirkreviews 2 years ago
I like your initial explanation but we disagree about the MLM approach however. I don't blame you for not wanting to convince anyone to join anything. I don't do that either. Like yourself I record videos, give tutorials and write articles. If people want to join me in an MLM I am completely honest with them and let them know upfront that not everyone makes 6 figures in this industry. It takes hard work like any other profession that has the potential to make 6 and 7 figures.

gamer4life898 2 years ago
Crappy? Sure, tell that to Lisa's paychecks and all the other people out here making a living online as an affiliate (shall I go thru the list?). "The best way" to make money is relevant. What is best for Lisa and the other people making a full time living online may not be best for you. Find what you do best and stick to it. Obviously Lisa does this best. When you make the kind of money online that these people make, them maybe your comments will have more merit/respect.

this is bogus, "two tier" sounds just like the pyramid scheme. I agree with much of what she says yet I don't trust her. If you didn't understand all of it, watch the video again. you may be able to see the contradiction is some of the things that she says.
smooshcrickets 2 years ago
The only thing bogus is you not knowing your facts. Two tier affiliate programs have been around for ages and they are perfectly legit. It would be like Best Buy paying you to refer someone to buy a TV from their site (which they already do) and then when you refer a friend to join their program you get a commission of your friend's sales. That would make it two tier. Many respected companies out here have Two Tier programs. Might want to do your homework before calling people out.
powwebvideos 2 years ago
@smooshcrickets -powwebvideos has already taken you to school, but i want to get my licks in. i found this presenter to be quite open and straightforward. there were no contradictions. affiliate programs are FREE to join, while MLM programs have a FEE to join, which is why suckering a lot of people to join is so important in mlm. she said very clearly these second-tier affiliate programs are not the main thing for her because no matter how many join, most fail, so little money. watch again!

You mentioned 2-tier affiliate programs. Does Clickbank come into the definition 2-tier affiliate program due to the fact that Clickbank comes in between the merchant and the affiliate marketer?
Thanks in advance!

CB is not 2 tier, but they have a few residual programs where you earn multiple commissions from one product if it's on subscription based. I think you can sort by those programs if you go search their marketplace. I don't think there are many though.

SBI! does not pay you for multiple levels of recruiting people. They have an affiliate program but that is not MLM.
