Disadvantage: You don't have power to change market plan, product or any tools. You have to use them whether you like it or not.

Which one you choose is wholly up to you. But for me who is so lazy of doing any thinking and working, I'd choose option 2.

Still, you have to make filter out millions of products that you can promote for your business.

Here are guidelines for choosing them:

1. Available marketing tools: Are they giving me any marketing tools? eg. email ad, banner ad, sales letter etc. The marketing marketing tools provided, better.

2. Product is suitable for huge market: Choose a product that can be use by many people and not only for certain group of consumer.

3. Recurring commission: For me this is most important factor. Some product, you earn your comission only once when you make one off sales. Normally, you earn a recurring commission when you sell product that needs buyer make recurring payment every month. So, you will earn your commission every month as long as buyer makes payment.

It is easy, isn't it?

Let's we summed up everything that we learn.

If you want to start you home based business immediately, promote other people's product. This product should have excellent support, all marketing tools are provided to you, many people use it and buyers have to pay them every month.

There you have it. A perfect home based business for you (at least it is for me ;)).

Because I'm a kind person, however, I go ahead and say, "Sure Ted - what do you need?"

At this point Ted's thinking, "Woo! I've got a live one here!" He responds, "Well, it's really something we need to sit down and talk about in person. It's kind of a visual thing."

Ding, ding, ding, we've got a winner! There's another statement that should be setting off your MLM radar. Yes, some of these things actually work. I suspect, however, that they work for a very small minority of people who are successful in MLM.

Let's face it folks, if you want to be successful in MLM you've got to be real. Aren't you going to sound rather weird when you start spouting these phrases to your buddies when you normally call em up and ask their opinion on phone?

Yes, I know reasons you're told to not talk to your prospects. You don't understand opportunity, products, etc. What it really amounts to is that your upline wants to get prospect in front of him so he has their full, undivided attention.

If that's case, why all blathering about high school or latest bears game or whatever. Shut up and get to point! And, for God's sake, please be sincere and don't sound like you're reading a script or are a parrot!
