“MLM’s Dirty Little Secret” .

Why Network Marketers Are Giving Up on Building a Downline, and Using a New Concept Called G.P.N. to Make More Money Than Ever…
Location: Chandler, Arizona Subject: “A Rude Awakening…” My friend, I’m afraid that you are in for a rude awakening if you are hoping to find financial freedom through Network Marketing or “MLM”
If it seems like you are out there night after night, struggling to build your MLM business with every breath you’ve got but you know that you are loosing ground, you need to realize that it’s not your fault … The times have changed.
This industry is changing very quickly and the purpose of the “MLM’s Dirty Little Secret” Report is to make you aware of some very disturbing insights that you need to know in order for you to make $10,000 per month or more from home in 2010 and beyond.
As we share this information with you, we realize that this report may anger some, but help countless other people.
Read this document thoroughly, what ever you do. Every sentence that wasn’t relevant was removed to keep this report as short as possible, so consider it absolutely vital if it’s in these pages.
Now we’re going to proceed under the assumption that you are either involved in a home business of some sort right now, or that you have been involved in one in the past. You should consider yourself extremely fortunate if you are in neither group, because the information in this report will save you lots of money, not to mention years of blood, sweat, and tears.
So what’s happening?
Well, to make a long story short, the old sales pitch of an MLM’s “life-long” residual income is all but dead for most people. An unlikely culprit, whom I’ll reveal to you in a few moments, has destroyed any possibility of that happening.
We have all seen the signs. And they are, right at this very moment, plaguing your organization…of this, I can assure you… But the cause behind them is what you may not be as aware of or give enough respect to.
These Are My Questions to You:
Are you forever dealing with complaining distributors, who need constant attention, in your downline?
Is constant attrition depleting your organization?
Are you weary of seeing you monthly bonus check cut by more than half because of some slick maneuver in the compensation plan like a “you get 3, who get 3, who get 3″ requirement?
Are you weary of working for just for a few hundred or few thousand dollars each month, but feel like your efforts are worth much more? Well, my friend, I hear you …and you have got lots of company!
Even as we speak, the network marketing industry, is struggling to survive in a time when the cost to sign up a new distributor has gone through the roof and people quit just as fast as they join, as soon as the “latest and greatest” plan of the day rears it’s ugly head. So this basically means…
In Age of The Internet, Trying to Develop a Downline Is Like Trying To Fill A Bucket That Is Full of Holes
If you have the time, money, and energy, you can stay ahead of the trend for a while, but it’s only a matter of time until you’ll burn out.
Yes, it’s a tough world for networkers, but fear not…
In an industry where the order of the day has become hype and the razzel-dazzel of the newest pre-launch, a growing trend is gaining popularity quickly with professional networkers who are sick of the craziness that MLM has become.
In The Future, A Major Change In Network Marketing Will Be Toward A New Concept Called…G.P.N.
G.P.N. is not a program…it’s not an company…it’s not a product or any kind of system.
It’s a solution to small checks, dwindling downlines, and the “fast turn over” mentality that has overtaken the MLM industry.
It will help you to actually put many thousand dollars of real cash in your pocket within weeks or months… not years. And the best part about G.P.N., is that you don’t even have to build a downline.
Network Marketing, As You Know It, Is Dead… And The Internet Killed it!
TThe basic sales story of the MLM industry is you work 4 or 5 years to develop a residual income that would be around for a long time.
And it sure sounded good at the time…didn’t it?
Well, it just isn’t true anymore!
No kidding … I promise.
Let me explain why…
So just for a moment, let’s take a good look at network marketing industry…
It’s not nice, but in a word, here is what you’ll find:
Cannibalism
‘Timing”, “pre-launches”, and “the next big thing”, have become the obsession of Network Marketing and it truly appalls me. I’ll explain why shortly, but all you need to realize is that…
Every 8 to 12 months, there is a group of people who are traded like cattle from one company to another. They were once called MLM groupies, however, the infection has spread to people beyond that description.
We may never be able to close this Pandora’s Box that has been opened.
So what’s causing this terrible condition?
Here Is The Honest Truth…
Today, you can literally launch your own new MLM company from your bedroom. As a result, thanks to the internet, thousands of new MLM companies launch each year.
Unfortunately, each year there are far fewer people coming into the MLM industry, than there are new MLM companies starting up.
So there are only so many people to go around.
The promise of “getting in on the ground floor”, is the only chance a new company has to catch the attention of network marketers, in hopes of steering them away from their current program.
Then the game starts all over AGAIN before you can even catch your breath. However, now it is with a new company that promises to be the biggest and best with their new patented “Jimba Root Juice 3000” that will change the world. So, welcome to the world of the new “Pre-Launch”.
So many networkers will inevitably be sucked into it by the ten’s of thousands, and all of them are trying to “get their place close to the top”.
But to make matters worse, another brand new MLM will launch in about 8-12 months. So all the people at the bottom will scurry around trying to find their position in the chain, as they proceed to destroy their old company in the process.
Vicious fights start to develop between these companies over the diminishing supply of warm bodies, complete with back-stabbing, name calling and countless lawsuits.
People are the commodity that is traded in network marketing, and YOU are worth lots of money…of that there is little question.
The “Buffer Zone” is Gone and Along With It, Went Your Residual Income!
It used to be that companies and organizations were somewhat insulated by an information buffer zone, which shielded them from this onslaught of competitors, ads and opinions.
Friendships could blossom, skills could be developed and loyalties could be strengthened because of this buffer zone.
However, all this has quickly changed because of the internet.
But now this happens all the time…
You think you’ve finally hit the jackpot and found that residual income stream that will last forever because you’ve built a pretty large team.
Maybe you are making about $15,000 to $20,000 per month and you bagged your day job 6 months ago and purchased a new home, as well as paid off all you old debts. Maybe you even bought that new sports car you’ve always wanted. In general, Life Is GREAT!
But then one day,out of nowhere, your company makes a little change the compensation plan.
One of your downline or upline leaders decides to move to another program because he is NOT happy about the change, and wants to move his, and your group, along with him. So with one single email to his list of a few thousand upline, downline and side-line people…He basically wipes out dozens of people’s businesses, cutting their checks in half…including yours!
And the income you were depending on to pay for your new home and car, fund your retirement account, and put your kids through college literally disappears overnight.
If something like this hasn’t happened to you yet, I assure you, it will.
When you finally realize that, with an MLM program, your entire lively-hood depends completely on people whom you’ve never even met before, the thought will hit you like a brick.
You don’t know what they’ll do next…you don’t know about their family problems…you don’t know their long-term plans…but still your income relies completely on thousands of people just like them. Because the structure of a traditional MLM compensation plan was never designed so that you can earn a full-time living on your own personal efforts, you are totally dependent on lots of weak, uncommitted people.
This is the problem today, unlike 20 years ago.
Today the level of communication has changed so fast that in the blink of an eye opinions, rumors, advertisements and promotions can spread across the world.
With little more than a well placed negative opinion on Google, Yahoo, or MSN incomes can be built or obliterated, for a company, in a matter of a few days.
Bogus rumors or leaders who jump ship at the drop of a hat can wipe out downlines overnight.
Unethical as it may sound, today you can always find competing advertisements at the very door-step of a company’s search engine results.
And if that were not bad enough, today distributors have instant access to an overwhelming array of programs, tools, training, leaders, opinions, and sales pitches to will distract them with the promise of easier, better and faster as they plant seeds of doubt in their minds.
And You Can’t Do A Thing About It
Just as soon as your new our new distributor starts to feel frustrated or that they are failing, they will open their email inbox and find a countless array of options with the very thing that will relive their pain. Then ‘poof’, they are gone into the arms of another deal.
Because networkers are only as loyal as their options, now their options are now endless and only one click away. Thanks to the internet there is no such thing as long-term commitment.
You know it is never going to change from now on and if you are a leader in this industry, you know exactly what I am talking about.
So anyway, this is the new reality of network marketing, for better or worse.
So How Do You Deal With It Today?”
The economic basics of MLM are changing and you need to be aware of it. The real cost of sponsoring a new distributor in a cold market has gone crazy and continues to do so, but the real profit and “life time value” of that distributor is plummeting downward.
So the reality is that…
You will be forced to recruit everyday for the lifespan of your business just to combat the constant attrition that will plague your organization.
An industry magazine display ad that now costs $3,000 was only $500 eight years ago,
The ability to advertise in a massive, targeted, and affordable way like Email marketing has gone away
The professional white collar type is much less likely to be interested because they simply can’t believe that they can possibly replace a six-figure income by peddling some new vitamin or herb root juice.
The concept of retailing products has gone out of fashion, thereby putting most of attention of the business on recruiting a new distributor, instead of customer acquisition, which is where the long-term and consistent money is found.
Instead of concentrating on the development of personal skills and a proven system, an attitude of “I’ll try it for a few weeks to see if it works” or “where are the magical tools that will build the business for me” is the order of the day.
An organized training approach has become almost impossible because new systems keep surfacing from different leaders within the same company just about every 30 days, which promise to be the answer for the newbie who is struggling.
So What’s The Answer?
Well that is the big question isn’t it?
Honestly…I guess there is no right or wrong answer.
It will really depend on what you are trying to achieve from your business, and if you’re willing to deal with the negatives that come with an MLM in these times.
If you enjoy going through the challenges of building and rebuilding a new business every 8-24 months. Then, by all means, be my guest. Sure, there is LOTS of money to be made quickly in MLM. However, it simply will not last very long and you’ll probably get tired of seeing your business shrinking just as fast as it grew.
This kind of revolving door approach is not very appealing to us, because we’ve looked past the hype and come to the realization that…
You are never going to find a single product or compensation plan that will fix the problem because the industry itself has changed. Regardless of which company you build in MLM, you will still have to face the same issues we just mentioned above with all of them.
So the promise of long term residual income, I’m sorry to say, is all but a memory. Network Marketing, for the most part, has developed into nothing but a bunch of “quick-turn over” hype, mostly driven by greed and the fear of loss, where only a very skilled professional marketer can make a significant amount of money consistently.
We are all weary of the program jumping, rumor control, attrition, hand holding and baby-sitting, as well as always having to explain why our opportunity is better than the other guy’s. Not to mention always dealing with prospects who think $300 to start a business is too much money… Really…
It’s really not much fun and it certainly isn’t worth the time. We know for a fact that an ever increasing group of professionals in the industry are feel the same way which has given birth to the concept of G.P.N.
G.P.N. Is The Answer You’ve Been Waiting For If You Want To Make More Money Faster Without The Stress Of A Building A Downline.
Although G.P.N. has already been around for a few years, it is now quickly becoming THE solution, in the internet age, for the challenges facing network marketers.
G.P.N. stands for: “Get Paid Now”, which is the idea which answers the growing challenges of the MLM industry for immediate leveraged income to long-term residual income.
There Is A Simple Premise To Get Paid Now
If the cost recruiting a new distributor continues to soar. If network marketers are going to jump from deal to deal. If your competition is going to advertise on your front door with a “Cheaper/Better” product, there is a simple answer:
Regardless of Whatever Else Happens…Get paid for a year or more of residual income from the First Day
Consider this…
Since a “Bigger and better” deal seem to come out about every 6 months or so, taking a sizable chunk of your downline with them, Get Paid Now to cover your losses.
Get Paid Now because distributors come and go like the wind, in the age of the internet.
Get Paid Now because money in your pocket today is always worth more than it is next year. You can then invest that cash into real residual income streams outside the MLM industry like precious metals or real estate.
The majority of network marketers have an “employee mentality” and are just pretending to be entrepreneurs. They will rarely do what it takes to be successful, so you should look to Get Paid Now to cover yourself for your time and effort whether they build their business…or not.
Today, it costs more to advertise and recruit a new distributor than ever before so Get Paid Now instead of waiting for nickel and dime commissions to come in over months or years makes more economic sense.
Today, white collar professionals are not willing to work 3-4 hours a night selling herb root juice for a lousy $500 – $1,000 per month, so with G.P.N. you can offer them a vehicle that they can Get Paid Now and really make $10,000 per month with just 5 to 10 customers a month.
Developing a downline of several thousand people in a MLM program is needed to make $10,000 per month. So now you can Get Paid Now and make $10,000 with just 10 customers or less.
In today’s world of MLM, do you realize how this concept can have a profound effect on your business? Do you see how it solves all of the problems that network marketers experience?
This quick and concentrated flow of income can also bring the dream of “working from home” into reality in a very believable manner for most people.
“Top Tier” Opportunities Are Where You Will Find G.P.N.
The reason they are called “Top Tier” opportunities is because of the high-level incomes they can produce when compared to traditional MLM, and also because of the higher caliber people they tend to attract.
Usually, they will have a “Two-Up” compensation plan and also a product or service that will retail for somewhere around $1,500-$3,000. They will also pay at least $1,000 to $2,000 in up-front commissions on the sale of that product or service.
Network Marketers usually object to Get Paid Now, Top Tier programs because they appear to have no residual income.
Is That Really True?
Already several companies have begun to alter their compensation plan to integrate a residual income feature, yet there is still another approach that you should consider regardless of that…
It’s like you’re getting paid a year’s worth of residuals up front on the First Day when you make a $1,000 commission, whether the new distributor goes on to build the business or not.
In order to make $4,000 per month in a traditional MLM, how large of an organization would you have to build?
500? 1,000? 1,500? 2,500?
Choose any number you wish, but then you’ll need to double it because more than half of your distributors will cancel their product orders within the first 90 days.
So when (not if), one of your leaders jumps into another program and takes half your distributors along with them, what are you going to do?
If you have been around this industry for awhile you probably realize that maybe 1 in 500 distributors will ever go on to build a team of over 500 distributors. However, we still sell the idea that this is an “easy way” to work part-time and replace your full-time job.
That’s B.S….and we both know it!
So then how many distributors do yo think it would take in a Top Tier opportunity to make $4,000 per month?
Let’s hear the drum roll please ………… 4.
You would need only one new distributor each week to make $48,000 a year, not even considering the leveraging effect of the compensation plan. This could actually multiply that amount by as much as 10 times or $480,000 per year by only recruiting 1 new distributor each week.
So now you really can make a legitimate claim when you offer your prospect a way to replace their income.
Today, the bottom line is, you must be able to make enough from your personal sales too justify your time and effort, otherwise, if you don’t, you’ll just continue to spend more money than you make.
So when it comes to “residual income” that leads us to still another important consideration.
Money Is Worth More Now Than Later So Get Paid Now
Just for a moment, think about this…
If you were to work very hard for a year to build up an MLM business that paid you a residual income of $3,000 per month for the next 36 months, that would be a total payout of about $108,000.
In reality, this would never happen because that check would dwindle due to attrition, but just for the sake of simplicity, we’ll use with that number anyway.
So let’s just say $3,000 per month for 36 months. Well that’s not bad, but is that really the best path to take?
Or don’t you think it would be better if you made all the $108,000 within the first year without the “residual”?
Logic would say “Yes”…
Simply because money is always worth more now, than later.
You can invest that $108,000 into a good long-term residual asset such as mutual-funds, real estate, precious metals, etc…
Who wouldn’t rather have that $108,000 in cash, real-estate or mutual funds instead of having try to siphon off $3,000 a month for 36 months? Especially when you realize that money can disappear in an instant if one of your leaders decides to jump ship.
Even if you’d like to feel like you have a residual income, you could always put the $108,000 you made and put it into a savings account and instruct your bank to transfer $3,000 each month into your checking account.
There is no dwindling sales volume or vanishing downline to worry about, and at least you could earn some interest on it for a few years.
Get Paid Now. Why should you wait on nickel or dime commissions to dribble in, especially when they may dry up any day. Let’s get paid a years worth of residual income up front from the First Day, and then make some real money outside of the MLM industry.
Which Really Costs More: A Traditional MLM Or A Top Tier Opportunity?
The initial start up cost being “too high” is another objection that you might hear to a Top Tier program.
There is usually a one time expense in a Top Tier program. Only one time investment, and then you’re done.
In reality, a Top Tier program is far less expensive than a traditional MLM when you consider the auto-ship order for a traditional MLM is about $200. That means over $2,800 each year, if you take into account the shipping and taxes.
In addition to that, by the time you get to your third year in a traditional MLM, program, you’ve spent over $7,500 on vitamins or herb root juice that you could have purchased for far less than half at any local health food store!
Now, let’s look ahead to seven years of being in an MLM, you’ve spent around $17,500 on products alone!
However, a Top Tier program has only cost you about $1,500 for the same 7 year involvement.
But wait, there’s more…
Although it may not be obvious at first, there is another benefit to a Top Tier opportunity. This something that you will come to appreciate if you don’t already…
It Is Far More FUN To Work With Successful People
Nothing wears you out faster than working with people who are brand new to the industry? I mean that person who insists that they will do “what ever it takes” to be successful, until you mention the start-up cost…then they start making excuses.
Are you plagued with a group of cry babies who blame you for the fact that they still are not rich, even after they have purchased some product or a website?
Do you feel beat up because all you seem to do is spend most of your time babysitting the whiners, complainers, and excuse makers for much less money than it’s worth?
Top Tier Programs Attract Top Tier People.
Wouldn’t you rather work with the highest caliber of people possible if you had a choice?
You know, people who make things happen, with no excuses. Do’ers, movers and shakers!
They have no problem with the fact that there is an investment of time and money required because they are true entrepreneurs.
They are passionate about this industry, and they don’t require any hand holding or convincing. This can make all the difference in the world when you work with people who are more like you.
Savvy, experienced entrepreneurs are much more fun to work with…don’t you think? You know, people who don’t complain, whine, and constantly make excuses, or need you to hold their hand all the time.
Most of the time-wasters and tire-kickers are usually scared off by the initial start up cost of a Top Tier program so it will attract a much higher quality of person.
People who don’t want you to “save” them or who “need money”, but instead have a track record of success in business and in life but are simply looking for a better vehicle to invest their money, time and energy into?
You want to be spending your time with people who talk the talk, and walk the walk, as they build and speak with self confidence.
With a Top Tier opportunity, you can make tremendous money and you will not have to work with thousands or tens-of-thousands of people to do it.
Only a handful is necessary to work with.
Top Tier Programs Attract People Who Want To Make Serious Money Because They Pay Out Serious Money
So lets proceed under the assumption that you are an experienced network marketer who really know what you’re doing.
You have good phone and communication skills. You know how to advertise and work diligently everyday at your business. You are the leader of your team…
So how’s that doing for you?
Are you making $30,000 per month yet? Is there a new Porche in your driveway? Are you sleeping in 5-Star Hotels or Flying First Class? Do you take a Helicopter from the airport to the company convention?
More than likely not, but it’s not because you couldn’t have that kind of success. It’s simply because you are working with a Lower Tier program that requires more work for less pay and it also attracts people who have goals are only to make $500 – $3,000 per month… Not $50,000 to $100,000 per month.
So why not work with people who truly live lives of luxury instead of people who drive around in mini-vans with “Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How” stickers on the window? After all, you will only become as successful as the people you permit yourself to associate with.
Most people get into this industry to earn a huge and stable income, but we are faced with the fact that traditional MLM just isn’t the opportunity it used to be.
We all have the same 24 hours each day, so why don’t we use them in a business venture that can pay out BIG instead of small, especially when it really doesn’t require any more effort or time?
So does this G.P.N. model makes sense to you?
Are truly ready to discover the business that can propel you into the $10,000 to $50,000 monthly income bracket, within just weeks or months, instead of years? Are you ready to discover the ultimate business opportunity that is free of the headaches and risks of building a downline? Then we would like to invite you to continue on to the next page where you’ll have an opportunity to meet the fastest growing team in the most Elite Top Tier Opportunity in the world, which can show you…

YES G.P.N. MODEL MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
