My MLM experience dates back about 15 years. I was approached by a coworker that said she was having a "meeting" at her house and that the speaker was from my hometown. I asked what the meeting was about and she simply stated it was about making money. I inquired further (I mean, who doesn't want to make money!). She wouldn't really answer my question and kept insisting that I had to come to the meeting to learn more and that it would be worth my time. Well after that meeting and a few other gatherings I became an Amway representative. I was on my way to building a fortune. The problem was is I didn't have a good appreciation on what I had to do to build that type of business. It requires talking to a lot of people just to get one person to sign up as a distributor in your downline. Yes - If you are willing to do that I'm sure you can make money in that type of business. So why didn't it work for me?

FEAR! Plain and simple. I was afraid to talk to the necessary amount of people it took to build a successful downline. When you talk to someone who has been financially successful with a business like Amway they will tell you that they made a commitment to "prospecting" any and all people that they came in contact with. Even total strangers. I could never bring myself to do that out of fear. That's why I failed.

So why is MLM still around? Are average people making money with this type of business? Can you build a successful downline without face to face marketing? I think you can and it's done through a media called the Internet! Think about it. You can reach millions of viewers through the click of a button to promote your product or business opportunity. There is no face to face interaction, you can reach far more people than you could if you were network marketing over the phone or at a party or business function and you eliminate the fear factor. There is no fear of rejection if you can't see the person that is researching your opportunity. This is one of the main reasons that the average person fails at MLM - the fear of rejection. They don't want to hear the word NO.

The internet offers a relatively simple solution to building a successful MLM business even for the average person. We don't have to be average anymore! I made a conscious decision to build a better financial future for myself. Why don't you do the same? Research, investigate, discover, get excited, get involved, take action and go make some money!

Peter Harris is not an internet marketing guru or a millionaire. He is just an average guy committed to improving his financial future through hard work, dedication, commitment and the internet. http://youcanmakecash2.com
