MLM Affiliate Program Industry - Knocks Out Another Pretender?

MLM Affiliate Program -VS- G.P.T. Program

Can this new MLM Affiliate Program Industry continue to set very high standards when it comes to the Home Based Business Industry?

Now we got these new fly by night G.P.T. (Get Paid Today) Programs? Are their intentions for the home based business seeker Good Or Bad?

One continues on with a huge up-side while the other is finding itself caught in a downward spiral.

We are all familiar with Multi Level Marketing, Network Marketing, MLM. Then you have the new 21st Century names like MLM Affiliate Program, MLM Affiliate Business, Online MLM Business and the list goes on.

With a MLM Affiliate starting to learn how to market their MLM Online Business on the internet more effectively.

The MLM Industry is finding that it is once again the darling of the Home Based Business Industry.

Then you have these get rich quick programs that started coming on the scene a few years ago called 1UPS, 2UPS, 3UPS, G.P.T (Get Paid Today) or whatever cleaver name they are using nowadays.

Normally I wouldn't even give this topic a second thought. But I've been feeling a little edgy lately, so I figured...why not?

Plus these are the main programs who have tried bashing the Network Marketing Industry in order to try to make a name for themselves.

If what you have to offer is suppose to be so rich & grand? Why attack a Industry that has been proven to last and proven to produce results for so many individuals is beyond me?

As the truth continues to get out, these G.P.T. (Get Paid Today) Programs are starting to find themselves in a major declining trend.

Mainly because of the very high buy in costs, the cut-throat mentality that the top marketers are having. As well as the over-promising and under-delivering results that the G.P.T. programs are producing.

To make matters worse the marketing schemes that these G.P.T. Programs are putting out are making people believe that they can get rich within a short period of time.

Basically these companies are promoting a get rich quick method that people are starting to catch on too.

But the problem is that these same people have already spent close to a thousand or more of their hard earn money just to find this out.

They should have known that something is fishy about the whole thing. When the sponsor who is trying to recruit them into the business, starts showing them how much money they are making from all of the passed up sales that are given to them by the people on their so-called team. While their so-called team partners are not making a dime. Does this sound fair to you?

Well, what is this passing up sales?

I'm glad you asked. These programs require that you must pass along your first or first two sales to your sponsor, before you can keep any of your own sales.

So you are giving up thousands in commissions to your sponsor before you even make a dime. Not to mention the money you had to spend on advertising to get those sales.

So since the sponsor is 'Getting Paid Today' (G.P.T.) by being paid on your 1st and 2nd sales. Then you break off from the sponsor after he gets your money. Which means that he won't make anymore money off of you and now you are considered his direct competition .

So why would they want to help their competition? The answer is - that they won't and it doesn't matter to them - Why? Because they already "got paid today" off of your efforts already?

Plus there's a very good chance that you are still sending your so-called team leader your sales even after you break away from them.

You see most of these team leaders are very good Internet Marketers. They know that majority of the people they come across will have no ideal about how to market on the Internet.

So what these team leaders are doing, is that they provide you with a "Automated Marketing System" that's branded with their name all over it.

So even though you are on your own. You are still using the "Automated Marketing System" that has their name all over it. So when prospects are looking at the marketing system you are using.

They don't see you - they see the team leader who put it together to help their so-called team partners. So what's going to stop the prospect from searching the Internet trying to find this marketing genius who put together the marketing system you are using?

Nothing - after all they're spending close to a thousand dollars or more just to sign up. You can't blame them for wanting to work with the best.

This is not the case with a MLM Affiliate Program. The sponsor wants to help you succeed, because if you don't succeed, then they don't succeed.

So it's not fair that the MLM Industry gets penalize for being honest in stating that it will take you between 1 to 3 years to become financially independent with a MLM Affiliate Program.

This is just a reality and the truth. Get rich quick schemes are not real truth, and you will lose a lot of money learning this fact.

Now back to these G.P.T. Programs. Okay, so you give up your 1st couple of sales, you are probably out of money. Not to mention that it's a good chance you won't have any profits to show because you passed up your commissions.

No wonder people come out of the whole ordeal feeling like they have been involved in a scam and violated.

Violated because you will probably go through your advertising budget (if you had one?) before you had a chance to make any money.

Violated because you pay very close to a thousand dollars or more just to join, plus monthly fees. That sounds like another major problem - but I'll leave it alone for right now.

I'm sorry just one jab - please?

Why would you spend thousands of dollars just to sell information products that you can get pretty much anywhere over the Internet for under a hundred dollars.

If all you wanted to do is sale informational products? Then why not go out and buy reseller rights to a really great informational product and then start promoting it over the Internet?

If you go this route, you won't have to pay thousands of dollars just to get started. Plus there's no need for you to pay a monthly maintenance fee.

You will probably pay a few hundred dollars for the resale rights to the informational product. Which will leave you with around $800.00 or more to start to do your online advertising with.

You will be able to keep all of your profits and don't have to worry about giving any more of your hard earn money to somebody else.

So your paying the high cost and monthly fees to these G.P.T. Programs basically for convenience and some Internet Marketing training.

For one I don't think convenience should cost that much. Plus you need to keep one thing in mind when it comes to Internet Marketing...it's always changing.

Methods that use to work one way, sooner or later has to be approach a different way if they are going to continue to be effective.

This is a fact because the Internet is constantly changing. So you must understand that learning Internet Marketing is an ongoing process.

So if you are going to spend thousands - plus monthly fees to join a reseller program. Then they better have a very good ongoing Internet Marketing Training Program to go along with it.

Okay I'll leave it alone - I just had to vent a little, I'm sorry. Now where was I...YEAH - VIOLATED!

Violated because you are giving up sales worth thousands to people who are already making tons of money from others just like you.

On top of that your market potential for this type of program is extremely limited. In todays time with how the economy is shaping up with high energy prices and the cost of food constantly climbing.

I hate to mention the declining housing market and bankruptcy's are at all time highs. Also, I could go into the dropping of stock markets all around the world in reaction to the American Dollar weakness, but I won't. Okay, I guess I just did.

Now check this out?

The advertising for these G.P.T. Programs states in there marketing that they are after the 'white collar' individuals who are making close to six figures a year.

So what about the people who are working two jobs trying to make ends meet. What about the ones who can't spend time with their families because they are working so much.

I hate to mention the ones who have to take food off the tables just to put gasoline in there vehicles. I could go on and on, but I won't - you get the picture.

With a MLM Affiliate Program this is not the case.

(1) : A MLM Affiliate Program is very affordable to get into and maintain.

(2) : A MLM Affiliate Program market potential is not limited because it's designed for anybody who wants to make a change in there life.

(3) : A MLM Affiliate Program provides a real level playing field for everybody regardless of education, income or lifestyle.

(4) : A MLM Affiliate Program has real consumable products that you can buy at great discounts. This helps with your finances , because now you are able to save on something that you would normally be using anyway.

Now I will mention a little about these 3UP compensation plans, just a little bit, because all of these G.P.T. plans are still very similar in nature.

The 3Up compensation plan allows you to keep your first three sales. This allows you to at least put $3000 back in your pocket to help recover some of the cost it took for you to join. Plus the advertising cost you incurred trying to make the sales in the first place.

Well that's nice I guess, but you still have to give up your 4th, 7th and 10th qualifying sales to your sponsor. So you are still giving back the $3000 you had made from the program when you first started. So your financial dilemma was just delayed a little.

Bottom line is this folks, It doesn't matter how they try to dress it up, you are spending way to much just to get started. Plus you are still paying for your monthly administration fees which can be anywhere from $14 on up.

Plus you will eventually break away from your sponsor making you their direct competition. Now with the limited market potential cause by the very high buy in rates, do you really think that your sponsor is going to help you. Heck, just like the advertising states:

"They're trying to get paid today"

You don't have to worry about people bailing out on you in a MLM Affiliate Program. A MLM Affiliate Program will also have the training and support that you will need.

Also with a MLM Affiliate Program you can enjoy great discounted products that you would probably have been using anyway.

But since you are now a member you can get these same products or services at a huge discount. With a MLM Affiliate Program your market is not limited because of high buy in rates.

A MLM Affiliate Program won't make you rich overnight, but it will give you a plan of action that will give you financial independence within 1 - 3 years. Now that's real truth!!!
