Opportunities for Home Business

When I was just eight years old I joined the local Australian Rules  little league Under 10 side.  My coach must have been a mighty man.  We were all eight buy cialis online or nine.  He organized us to play to position and he taught us to play for the team.

Some of us struggled to win a possession in a game that inspired Joe Satriani to write a tune called Kill The Guy With The Ball, but we all worked for each other and played for the common good.

We came from fourth place to win the Grand Final and we did it because we were a team.  It’s funny, nearly forty years later I can remember the names of all my teammates, from our inspiring Captain Ross “Gutsy” Gear to the twentieth man (2nd reserve) Daryl Bath.

What I learned from Mr Warren, I carried through in every team that I’ve ever played for and coached.  We play for each other – there is one goal and we’re only as good as our weakest link.

I’ve played in successful teams at higher levels but none had the magic of that first premiership.

What I’m saying is that I hold the team concept very dear to me.  I believe passionately in people working together for a common goal and playing for each other.

So when I see Internet Marketing “teams” forming I’m interested in a curious sense.

Right now there are some heavy team marketing efforts.

They all concentrate on MLM products (now there’s a surprise) and on the face of it they’re very attractive specially to the struggling or new internet marketer looking for a quick and easy way to make some income.

Every one’s working for each other they spruik, every one works for the common good, no one gets left behind.

Remember the  team concept  is close to my heart.

I wouldn’t join an Internet Marketing team under any circumstances.

Here is why.

They’re MLM based – the very nature of MLM means that the “team” is giving greater benefit to the team leaders then to the people on the bottom.

Secondly the nature of MLM matrices means that for people to make serious money with them the matrix has to be filled down four, five or six levels.

Thirdly as the team grows, it needs more members to fill the funnel and while the team owners will argue that the recruiting buy Cialis Soft Tabs online is always the same, the truth is that its not, because no matter what, people lose interest, cancel memberships and drop away, leaving holes to be constantly filled in the matrix.

While this is happening people at the lower levels grow impatient and guess what?  They cancel memberships.

And so while there is heaps of hype, and at times it may feel like you’re the only one not swept up in the team hysteria, it’s almost certain that within twelve months the teams will have imploded under their own weight of false expectations.

And here is the other thing that perhaps concerns me more than anything.

MLM is a good marketing model as long as the product being offered gives real value.

A team marketing effort places no value on the product – it’s all about the income stream and that is scary spelled with a capital S.  The very nature of the marketing plan and the material attracts people likely to be attracted to Ponzi schemes.

I’m not sure of the legal ramifications of taking a quality product like Traffic Wave and simply marketing the pay plan without drawing attention to the real benefits that the product offers, but I sure don’t want to argue the point in court.

Far better to recommend products and services because they’re products are good then to be trapped in to selling a pyramid scheme.
