There are a lot of Network Marketing companies out there,
especially with the advent of the internet, and its marketing
schemes. Everywhere you look, you hear people saying, “Get paid
for reading emails!”, “Get money for traffic to your site”, “Get
paid per click”, “Get paid to surf the web”. But what really is
a good product to have for multi-level marketing? How do you
recognize it?
First of all, I like products that are tangible, that you
usually have to ship to the consumer. This allows the business
to be “real”, it has a backbone, a core product. This can be
telecommunications, health products, etc.
Second, the product needs to be unique. Don’t give me the
products I can buy in the supermarket delivered to my door, it
just doesn’t interest me as much as a unique product would.
Therefore, if it doesn’t interest me as much, it certainly
wouldn’t interest other people who aren’t as interested in
Multi-level Marketing.
“The product needs to be unique”
Third, the product should be consumable. Why sell someone
through networking… you want passive income? Do you get as much
passive income from people that don’t buy regularly? Of course
not! Why sell garage doors, when you can sell something they
need to buy EVERYDAY!
It also needs to be a product that people need, more than want.
In the majority of MLM companies, they ask for a “qualifying
purchase” of product for you to be eligible for compensations.
Are you buying the product for that reason? Or are you buying
the product, like Donald Trump says, because you love it and
have a passion for it?
“The product should be consumable!”
A while ago I was introduced to a “Get Paid for Clicks”
advertising toolbar. The problem with this, is most of the
people who used the product only used it for the reason of
making money. There needs to be a BACKBONE. A backbone of
core-consumers that needs or wants your product. Consumers in
which you can rely on, to bring in income for you consistently.
This is a fundamental neccessity that you need to find in that
product. What is the REAL market for this product? Is this
product self-sustaining, could it be sold outside of Networking?
If the answer is YES, then you may have a promising product.
Before picking a product to distribute or represent, go to some
close friends and get their opinions. If it is a health related
product, then simply get them to try it. By doing this you can
get honest opinions and if it works, promising testimonials
and/or future business partners!
