    I totally agree.

    You make lots of good points. However, I’ve found a MLM opportunity that is really an Affiliate Marketing program on Steroids. It is relaxed and you don’t have to be a salesman and push it on your friends and family.

    There is a new way to marketing MLM online. The line between affiliate marketing and mlm is more blurred now.

    excellent video 5 stars

    Correct to be legal, you have to be provide a product or service.

    you rock Lisa

    great video lisa. very clear and concise. the trick for newbies to understand is that you can also make very decent money in MLM as long as you are plugged into a system that allows you to affiliate market as well while u are building your name and driving leads to your site. ;)

    keep up the good work!

    A newbie can earn much more money (and faster) with affiliate marketing, then with multi level marketing. You can signup at Clickbank and promote digital products. It’s not difficult to start a simple affiliate marketing business, you can learn it.

    There are some good businesses here in the internet world, but there are alot more that are very shady and just after your hard-earned money. After years of experience, I can tell you which ones to avoid and show you ones that are very inexpensive (around $10) to start and very effective at creating a very solid and more importantly recurring income! I welcome you to view the videos on my page, you won’t regret it!

    Great video. It was informative and unbiased. I myself , am a network marketing addict. I just love the attributes inherent in MLM. The ability to create ongoing income, the compounding aspect and the chance to help others. The problem I ran into is I am sort of like you. I hate being pushy and I don’t like rejection. So I started studying how affiliates do their marketing and I love the concept.
    ‘Anyway loved the video and I definitely will be a subscriber.

    Hey Lisa, great information. keep the hard work. From the UK

    hey lisa,
    A bit off topic. I see that you don’t have a opt-in list
    on your site. Do you or have you ever done email marketing? Do you have an opinion about it? I’d love to hear it.

  18. Rkaa on November 14th, 2009 17:34

    I have to say I enjoyed watching this video!
    However I think that you will be interested to know that what you say about MLM is not 100% correct. Even thouh your description of MLM fits most companys, they are in fact MLM+direct sales hybrids.
    Traditional MLM is based on the idea of what you describe as affiliate marketing, where you symply share info on a product you enjoy with other people who do the same. No hard sales and convincing. Only difference is you get payed for several levels down

  19. tdubb099 on November 14th, 2009 18:27

    hmm some people think affilates are silly and a waste of time. Of course I’m not one of them. Heck if it works, then it works keep it up. Both of them are in the marketing business

  20. lisa3876 on November 14th, 2009 19:24

    I make a living from affiliate programs and I know many others who do. I don’t think I was overly negative about MLM. I even mentioned that many people find success with it. It’s those pyramid schemes that are the problem and I clearly stated those are NOT really MLM. Sounds like you do well with it and that is great! Keep it up. It’s just not for everyone, just like affiliate marketing isn’t for everyone. I think we’re saying a lot of the same things.

  21. nopromisss on November 14th, 2009 19:34

    I think, everyone has to chose there own way and believing !
    MLM is not a Pyramid ! there is a pay plan system created and and when Products are sold, is it NOT a PYRAMID !

    Most Affiliate Programs are also just selling INFORMATION .
    How many truly making Money with Affiliate for living ?

    Just find the RIGHT HONEST MLM-COMPANY with right Conditions!!!

    WHY you have such a negative mind set for MLM ?

  22. stuntactorsagaftra on November 14th, 2009 20:24

    Theres Paula! You are such a good person. When can we talk? Let’s really get at the bottom line of it all.

    A pyramid is when money is exchanged without a product or service given. Technically, corporate america is a pyramid more then a legit MLM program. The CEO has all the leverage, bonus etc.. from everyone else below. The people at the top of MLM work their butt off to get to that point. Everyone starts with 0 customers. I hope that helps.

    Great video lisa. Comment on cash gifting. I was in a cash gifting program a while back, and yes you should do your research on it. The main reason why people says it’s illegal is because people give gifts to join. If you get what i am saying. But having that said Great video.
