How to earn money from the net

Lukacat · 27-04-2009, 11:07 AM

Hi there,
Network marketing is doing it for me. I have my own business thanks to a great American company that has been in existence since 2005. I am selling a product that is unique and patented and craved by 9 out of 10 people. Also one that offers amazing health benefits that I am experiencing myself for the best. The business costs under £30 to start. What more can you ask for ? I'll be happy to explain more to anybody who wants to do the same as me.
I have tried affiliate marketing but simply got nowhere and it ended up costing me money. Could do because I didnt know how to do it. Has anybody got any hints ?

Hi Lukacat,

This looks interesting. Not had a chance to watch the video properly yet, but anything to do with chocolate has to be fun : )

Just one question though, can this business be a totally online business?

Lukacat - stop promoting your business. It is an MLM scheme that has already attracted a lot of bad press and not something that this forum endoreses.

Bad press ? I only ever found 2 negative articles about it - one of which written by a company that's trying to compete with mine. ok -tell me about a better way to make money from the net then ? I have tried affiliate marketing - and lost money. I'd be happy to receive any advice on the subject.

Any MLM scheme relies on the continuing recruitment of new members. This is exactly how companies such as Xocai and Amway work. You don't make your money through selling chocolate, you make money by recruiting new members and taking a cut of their income.

This is OK for those at the top of the scheme but increasingly difficult for those who join later. What sounds like a great idea at the beginning can mean many many hours of work to make a small profit. It has been calculated that you can make more money pushing leaflets through doors than you can in an MLM scheme.

There is no easy way to make money online. You need to put in the same amount of effort as you would running any other business. Putting in a hour a day is nowhere near enough, to get an MLM scheme to work you need to put in every waking hour you have in order to earn somewhat less than the minimum wage. Do the calculations, multiply the number of hours you sit in front of the screen promoting your business by £5.73 and that's how much you should have earned.

Incidentally, I make more money from my offline activities than I do online. There are loads of business opportunities, you just need to get out and find them.

Hi,

First, why did you remove your quote?
Let us now talking about your business ;did you have a good revenue with your business ? I mean if it works perfectly.
Is it bad as fisicx said about it?
I read about MLM but i don't know if it's good or bad business ,please develop more about your business .
And what do you think about the drop shipping ?did you ever tried it?
If we read the quote of fisicx we understand that there are any good way to earn money from the net ,who share the same opinion with ficix?
Thanks and best wishes
Salem

Salem,

There are lots of good ways to earn money online, it's just take time and effort to do so. Just like on the offline world, there are no quick fixes, you can't do things on the cheap and expect to make lots of money.

Actually I completely agree with you ! I'd never done MLM before, and have since realised there is a lot of work involved - no you don't just sit in front of your computer waiting for the money to come in ! In fact, I feel like I live with the business - I talk about it, write about it almost constantly - it has become a part of myself. But because the opportunity is ground floor in the Uk - the product was launched here on 30st January after 3 successful years in 5 other countries, and is about to be launched in other countries I have lots of contacts in (being a European and not a Uk native...), I feel this is definitely the time to get involved. 10 months down the line I am not so sure. Most importantly the product is something I completely believe in and have had amazing benefits from myself - so it feels great sharing it. Yes it is a lot of work, but it feels good. That is how I see it. I definitely wouldn't be selling cleaning products ! Incidentally I know somebody who's made a great residual income from Amway - and 2 people who havent !

So although it is a great product you aren't actually making any money. If this was your full time job would you still be in business?

most of those involved in MLM schemes never really make more than pin money. As I've already suggested, you could earn more money leafleting, washing cars and doing gardening. You say that you are European, you could earn far more running a foreign language course in the local college.
