Multi-Level Marketing Vs GPT (Get Paid Today): What's Real and Not?

Not easily accomplished.

Most people are not aware of how wealth is created nor how it should be managed if ever attained. All you have to do is look at the history of lottery winners. Most of them have been ordinary working people without the necessary education to intelligently deal with their windfall. Sure, if you decide all you want to do is have the time of your life and blow the whole reward in a fantastic year, that is certainly a choice one could make. And for some, that would be perfectly fine. But unfortunately, many manage to do just that without ever realizing what is happening to them and before they know it they are right back in the same financial morass they were in before winning their fortune.

One of the main reasons that 5% control 90% of all the capital is because they DO know what money is all about, and how to not only protect it, but make it work for them. The most appealing prospect of multi-level marketing is that its compensation plan, generally, is designed to do for the ordinary 90 percenter what they most likely would never be able to do for themselves, and that is to create a very significant residual income that will continue long after the person stops actively doing the multi-level marketing him or herself.

This happens because the system works by what is known as leverage, whereas one can build a large network of people, all of whom have equal opportunity to do the same, whose earnings are shared with them. The more people one has, the more money, usually, one can make. This MLM system is frequently referred to in many of the presentations one will attend as being a "vehicle." We will frequently hear that "it is all about which vehicle we choose."

There is truth to that. Donald Trump recognizes it. So does Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad), both of whom are firmly within that 5% of big money controllers. In a recent Forbes Magazine article they both declared that this vehicle is perhaps the only way left in the present economy that just about anyone could expect to create a large fortune. In fact, the Donald has even started his own multi-level marketing company, so he put his money where his mouth is.

But is it really likely that our efforts to create this income stream which could produce $10,000/ month, let's say, have a good probability of success? We all hear about the top producers are making even more than that, reaching $40,000/ month and more...month after month. Well, the fact is that in order to actually realize that dream goal, one would need to have in his/her down-line a dozen or more people in the top tier of the company levels. With attrition being what it is, anything less would likely stop producing such significant income within a reasonably short time.

And for those who think they would be happy to create a network which would provide them with a modest $5000/ month, the fact is that for the same reason as mentioned that would only be happening as long as the marketer kept working, keeping the front line populated and managing the 2nd and 3rd tier motivated and busy. The whole deal could collapse if a significant member should stop, for whatever reason, or move. This is just the way it is. The only security is to have a huge network of top earners under you, if you want to not work and just collect big income.

But we all are used to working and frequently for much less than we would like, so at least here you would continue to work, yes, but you would have more control over your life and also the potential for big gains. I know many very wealthy MLMers who got there because that "crazy" person appeared in their downline, that amazing producer who never quits and turns everything into gold. It could happen; not likely, but certainly possible. Unfortunately, that little event is not something one can control or predict.

So, the bottom line we need to look at here is what is the actual value of creating a business that produces even a "modest" $5000 monthly? That's only about $60,000/ year; not enough to replace many of our incomes if we live in a large city like New York or LA, but certainly a nice addition. To create that $60,000 annually, at a 5% return (not easy to find these days) you would have to have a cash pile of $1,200,000 sitting there, working for you. Anyone in the upper 5% of the population likely doesn't even have to think about that. They know. The problem is, it is still too small an amount to be able to have consistently produced for you if you're depending on a firmly entrenched network that you can forget about. To be truly self-sustaining, your network needs to be huge. And if that is the case, you will also be making a lot more than $5000/month residual income.

All the same, multi-level marketing is still a very good way for the right people to make good money. It's just the big carrot that is the unlikely reward for most. But are there alternatives?

Well, yes. There is one I have learned about called G.P.T. (Get Paid Today) and it is something which many might like to consider. Just like multi-level marketing, G.P.T. isn't for everyone. Anything you do will require commitment, discipline, and work. But financially speaking, it may make more sense to some people to consider this alternative and I'll now explain why.

Growing frustration and dissatisfaction with MLM has opened the door a few years ago to G.P.T. which is now becoming very popular. The financial risks of the downline helped to create this system which changes the focus of the multi-level marketing industry from a long-term residual income to an immediate leveraged income.

Building a network is very difficult for many reasons which we all know too well.

� Most people we approach are employee minded people who don't really understand what it means to be an entrepreneur and don't seem to ever get it. We waste a lot of time with them, and time is money.

� Putting together a network that produces $10,000/month means building a downline of thousands. With G.P.T. you can do it with just 10 customers/ month...or less.

� Money today is worth more than money tomorrow and certainly next year. With G.P.T. you get paid today and can invest that money in bona fide residual income systems other than MLM like real estate or the market.

� Professionals are not usually interested in working a few hours a day selling vitamins, or whatever, for a $300 to a $1200 check, so here they have a vehicle where they can realistically pull in $10,000 / month from the start.

So how does this actually work? Most G.P.T. systems are found in what is called "Top Tier" opportunities. They are called that due to the quality of the people they attract as well as the significant incomes they produce compared to a regular MLM. Many of them are set up with a "Two-Up" compensation plan where a product costing $1500-$2000 will pay out an immediate $1000 commission. Originally, these G.P.T.s were getting objections because they did not offer residual income. But that is no longer true! Today, there are growing residual income comp plans and they are getting better each day.

But even without that residual compensation plan, there is another important factor which one needs to consider. And that is when you earn a $1000 commission up front, today, it's the same as getting an entire year of residuals whether the new rep builds out the line or not!

Think about that.

In a traditional multi-level marketing company, how many people would you need to build a $4000/ income? Five hundred? Twenty five hundred? Better double it if you consider attrition and cancelled orders. What if you lose a big leader? Bottom line is that it's no walk in the park to get this bus moving.

But how many customers would be required to make that same $4000 in a good top tier program?

Four. That's it.

That's one customer a week to make $48,000 in a year, and that doesn't even figure in the compensation plan which could dramatically increase that figure as much as ten times.

Also to be considered, as I mentioned before, is the value of the money you get today vs. that which you get down the road. The cost we have to make to keep our MLM accounts active also need to be considered. Sure, many of us actually love the products we need to buy each month, but the reality is that we could easily spend the average $200/ month, or $2400/ year on top of the other expenses we have for travel, etc. So after 6 years with an MLM system we'd have spent a minimum of $14,400, but our total cost for the Top Tier after the same 6 years would still be the original $1500 (average) cost of the product/ service.

That being said, the common objection that Top Tier start-up is too high a cost doesn't make financial sense. The start-up cost for the MLM will be at least $2400/ year and will continue, while the $1500 average Top Tier cost is a one time deal.

And of course the really nice feature about the Top Tier G.P.T. which I personally appreciate even more than the money aspect is that I get to choose who to work with and deal with more sophisticated, serious people. I don't have to put up with cluelessness such as people who really believe that they can start a profitable business with no money! I don't have to hear excuses from people who can't get out of their own way but who say they are "motivated" and want financial freedom. Well, yeah!!

In the Top Tier businesses which in some cases will include complete marketing formulas containing mentoring, software and immediate support, we see the serious business people. They already know how to advertise, have good phone skills, can follow instructions and be disciplined, but have found that it isn't working out too well for them. They are looking to make the big money and can recognize the better opportunities when they see them.

It's well known that we are going to be most like the people who we have around us, so it's really up to us to consider who they should be and act accordingly.

So to sum it up, comparing multi-level marketing to G.P.T., I think we understand that both have certain aspects which work and which need to be considered by any home marketing entrepreneur. The multi-level marketing model is well known, has been around a long time, provides what seems to be an easy entry and has hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of people already working it. Some of the companies, in particular, have very good energy and many people feel confident being associated with these. This is a good thing and is appreciated by many I have seen.

The G.P.T. Top Tier is a model which makes more sense to a more sophisticated person, one who understands money a little better and who can leverage the system to make a huge income without the significant running costs associated with MLMs but often overlooked. It's also a lot more fun to be dealing with people who don't keep repeating "pyramid scheme" like some broken record no matter what is presented to them.

The choice is certainly yours to make. It's just a good idea always to learn as much as you can about something before jumping in, but at the same time I have heard it said that run of the mill, not very successful people take a long time to decide to do something, but they tend to stop doing it when faced with the inevitable frustrations that any endeavor will present. But successful people, those who really make it big are t hose who make their minds up quickly when they see something that they sense is "right," and they just stick with it. They don't quit no matter what junk they are forced to deal with.

After all is said and done, perhaps this is the most important lesson we need to know.

How To Profit From Duplication

I have told this story before but I would like to share it again. If you take one penny and double it the next day you will have two penny's. If you double the two penny's the next day you will have four penny's. If you continue to double the sum of penny's each day, by the end of the month you will have over $5 million dollars. That is hard to believe but it is true. This scenario is a perfect example of duplication.

MLM (multi level marketing) is a form of duplication. If a member of an MLM business signs someone up to sell their product then they make money. This is true of so many businesses such as Avon, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, to name just a few. There is nothing wrong with MLM as long as they offer a tangible product for sale. You then make money off each person you signed up and also make money off of individuals that each one of them sign up. This goes on and on through each level. Some companies give financial incentives off the sales from each of the members. This is called residual income but we will get into that in a future article. True MLM goes through multiple levels.

If a company only duplicates through one or two levels then it is not MLM because like I said before MLM goes through multiple levels. If a company doesn't pay through multiple levels, does that mean you wouldn't make as much money? Not at all. Lets take for example a company that only pays through two levels. You would get paid for each person you signed up which is level one and then you would get paid for each person that level one people would sign up which is level two. How do you make money after that? This would be from the sale of a product from both levels. This is where you bring in residual income and it increases over time as your 1st and 2nd level grows.

There are many compensation plans that exist with companies but they all work through duplication. Duplication is just one of many way's that network marketers make money off the internet. Once duplication gets started then you can take a nice long vacation and reap the financial rewards.

My name is Marty Lamb and I am a network marketer. I learned how to make money through duplication and I would like to share my knowledge with you.

The Final Matrix Review

They have put together an MLM opportunity which they say is easy to understand and explain to others, is profitable in the early stages and is easy for its members to build a good monthly income with the minimum amount of people possible in their downline. The concept is to promote the services and products offered by the company as well as building a downline of new members.

The cost to join The Final Matrix is $33 plus $30 per month membership. For this you get a replicated website and access to their back office. The compensation plan works on a 5 x 3 forced matrix with level one paying out a total of $50 based on 5 members/$10; the second level pays out $50 based on 25 people/$2, and the third level based on 125 people/$17 which means you can earn a total of $2,125.

The compensation plan is unique in that it pays high for the very first level, meaning you get into profit quickly and it saves its best commissions for when you reach the final level and you have the most monthly earning potential. It is geared up to be simple and to offer great earnings for those members who work hard.

So what are the products and services on offer? They offer onsite advertising for members, special membership bonuses and a library of online marketing help. New products will be added regularly. So will this opportunity work for you? Not if you are the type who jumps from program to program expecting to make instant bucks. Not if you can't commit time and the will to succeed.

It can work if you are committed to making it a success and if you have great marketing skills and strategies. The investment is quite low in monetary terms but you will need to invest in yourself to make things happen and to build up and motivate a team of sales people. If you get into the mindset that this is all about marketing then The Final Matrix could be the last MLM business you ever need to get involved in.

My Cash Pro Review

There are two ways of joining My Cash Pro: as a free member or as a paid member. A free member promotes a referral link and earns $1 for every referral. To become a paid member you will need to part with a one off fee of $5 which covers the cost of your replicated website and virtual back office. You then need to send of $7 to the person who referred you to be able to re-sell the products on offer in package 1 (level 1). The company pays 8 levels deep and a person can only earn commissions from referrals that are on the same level as he is. The 8 packages (or levels) are priced at $7, $14, $29, $59, $99, $149, $288 ad $569 respectively.

The company operates a 2 Up System and in order to qualify to start receiving commissions you need to refer two people who each pay $7 for level 1 and these sales are passed up to the person who referred you. You are then eligible to receive 100% of commissions from all new members that you refer and from their powerlines. You can pay to upgrade at any time. In addition as a paid member, you receive $1000 into an advertiser account and can promote up to 100 campaigns by means of banners of text ads.

My Cash Pro is certainly legitimate since it is providing e-books and also offering advertising rights. However, in order to profit from this company and earn a decent second income, you are going to have to learn some pretty effective marketing techniques coupled with good leadership skills in order to drive traffic to your referral link and motivate your powerline to do the same. At the end of the day it is all about marketing and you need to understand and be good at marketing.

Incremental Cash Review

How it works is that you fill in your matrix by finding 12 people to join you and for this you earn $4. Now, this doesn't sound like a lot but it is double your entry fee. At this stage you are at the bottom level and called a "Worker". In addition the person who sponsored you also earns $4, so another good tip is to keep sponsoring others because the company operates 100% matching bonuses at all levels. This entitles you to earn a new matrix position at Worker level, value $2 and so you start again.

You are automatically placed into your sponsor's current matrix and you are eligible to start earning once more. Once you fill in your matrix again, Incremental Cash promotes you to Supervisor" level and you earn $8. Every time you cycle, you will enter a new level and your commissions will rise accordingly. Following the Supervisor level you become a Manager, then a Director, then a Vice President and finally the President. At this level you can earn $9275 and your sponsor earns $9,255.

Well it sounds simple enough but will it work for you? Well, if you are good at marketing and have first hand knowledge of up to date strategies coupled with good leadership skills to encourage your team to recruit, then yes it could work. Basically all of these schemes work on duplication or "rinse and repeat" but if you struggle to fill your first matrix, then chances are you will lose heart and drop out. You need to have marketing skills and you need to have a determination to succeed. You also need to commit yourself fully to any marketing opportunity and really go for it. If this sounds like you, then Incremental Cash may be just the one for you.

How to Know The Difference Between MLM Known As Multi Level Marketing and Pyramid Scheme

What a deal huh? Yes it's sometimes great to get a good deal but what about the time that there is no deal and you have to purchase this item at fool price. Guess what not a good deal huh? I guess by now you are getting the picture.

Now, after you have gotten your great supper duper deal, you go home, use the product and realize it does a good job. Right? Then, you become so excited, because you believe you got a deal, you start sharing the offer you got with all your friends and family about the big discount, and the performance of the product. Right?

So you now send them to the exact same store, sometimes, even give them directions on how to get to the store. I have had times in the past where my friends offer to even pick me up, so we can go together, to purchase the product.:) Does that sound familiar?

Colorful vision of something, many of us do, have done and will do again in the near future. Right? So, Network marketing is somewhat similar, but with you being directly the store and making the marginal earnings on a product by referring your friends and family to purchase the products from your store. They then duplicate the same concept and also receive a commission.

Hurray!! Wouldn't it sound good to hear that you made a commission for sending them to your store that you personally own? Oh and it gets better, this commission becomes a residual income, based on them purchasing your product every month.

Just as if they were to go back to the same store and repurchase the same product, where you, did not get a commission for referring them. Hmmm! Interesting concept right! Welcome to Network Marketing or MLM multi level network marketing.

Now as for the pyramid scheme, this is a chain of people that invest their money into a business with the expectancy of other people doing the same and gaining money from others, with the intentions of becoming rich over night. It is illegal!

Network marketing, in contrast is a legitimate business and considered to be over a 140 billion dollars industry. In today's market you are able to grow a network marketing business to a comfort level where you receive residual income.

It can be done on a full time or part time basis right from the comfort of your home and keeping your cost at minimum. No office rental space or warehouse is needed to operate your business.

The Final Matrix Review

Simple and sweet is usually not what you find when you look behind the curtain of most online ventures these days. To understand the compensation plan it usually takes a PHD from MIT and a bottle of your favorite headache medicine and they never really explain what is included to properly promote the venture. Well here is a program that actually gives members what they advertise. The F.M provides:

- Replicated website to promote the business
- Backoffice to track sales & downline activity
- Banner Ads
- Text Ads
- Downloadable Videos & Software
- 3x5 compensation structure

The cost to join the program is $33 and will require a $30 per month membership fee to remain active. Members will receive access to the backoffice and qualify for the 3x5 compensation structure. It is very simple. The 3 levels pay out as follows:

Level I - $10 each - 5 referrals Max
Level 2 - $2 each - 25 referrals Max
Level 3 - $17 each - 125 referrals Max

Members who fill their 3x5 with 155 members will earn $2,225 per month. It is that simple. Members can have as many accounts as they want to build multiple 3x5 matrixes. I appreciate their honesty up front mentioning that it will require effort and the ability to market to earn a substantial income.

The Final Matrix is a legitimate online opportunity. The members that have the ability to build a productive downline by consistently driving target traffic to their website and then mentoring their folks into doing the same will be the top producers and earners. Anyone can overcome the 95% online failure rate by putting in an honest effort and willingness to learn the proven internet marketing methods needed to properly and affectively promote their business.

Online Multi Level Marketing Business

Did you know that it's been estimated that nearly 95% of people who get involved with multi level marketing and do you know why? Well it's either because they give up too easily or they have the potential but don't have the help and support from their upline. I'm always shocked to see how many people just dive right in their and join any old team and then a few weeks later when they have had no success they blame the company. Well it's not the company because it's either the team you joined or your own lack of effort but usually the team.

Always remember that in the multi level marketing business people will do anything to get you to join their team so it's always a great idea to have a search about and explore other teams and find the one that best suits your needs. Find out how your future sponsor is doing right now with the business and find out what their team has to offer such as training Website's and support.

Building a multi level marketing business can be achieved and there are already people out there and doing it right now so there's no reason why you can't. The only thing that's stopping you from success with multi level marketing is if you end up on the wrong team and your business ends up dead in the water.

3 Tips For A Successful Online Business

1 Potential customers are searching the internet because they're unhappy or discontented in some way. Something is disturbing them or making them frustrated. They feel a need to be healthier, fitter, happier, richer or more knowledgeable about something. Each niche has its own wants and each person in a niche a want in a particular way, individual to them. So, you have two ways of making money from providing solutions to your customers. There's the general way of selling the essentials that everyone needs. Then you can go to a deeper level and customise what you're selling to satisfy individual customers at a personal level.

2 In both cases it's a question of building a relationship with subscribers and customers. At the more general level you can communicate with people as a group while still aiming to find out what they want exactly and give it to them. At the deeper level you need to get as close to individual customers and their business as possible. Only when you've communicated one to one, or, at least, in a small group, can you define the nuances of solutions and offer personal help.

3 Of course, having found out what customers want from you, then you need to create products which fit those requirements. For example, some customers may have gone beyond what an ebook can provide and want longer courses or one on one support.
