People think that MLM is like getting salary for almost nothing. That's not true. The top most distributors too make sales and get paid for that. Only a part of his commission is from other's work. Some youngsters are not aware of these facts and figures. That is why some companies take them for a ride. They lure them by saying that they can get richer in few days and would have to do nothing but get people to make sales. People should stay away from such cheats.

Getting into MLM business without knowledge would not give you any returns. Instead you would lose lot of money. Initially these expenses would seem to be nothing, but once you are a dropout, money that you have spent on sample products, commuting charges, purchasing prospectus, consultation fees and buying stuffs like books and tapes would suddenly add up to your expected one month's salary.

This business is just like any other business. A lot of hard work, planning, time and dedication are required to make it an established and successful business. Don't expect to build Rome in a day. It is next to impossible.

2. Email Blasters

Email marketing is a great way to promote your products or your business opportunity. With that said, email marketing is all about building a relationship with your mailing list, and NOT sending emails to people who didn’t request information from you!

First, I would doubt if anyone has a legal mailing list of 50 or so million of people that have asked for more information.

Secondly, sending email to millions who did NOT ask YOU for more information is considered spamming, and it will ruin your credibility, which is a very important key for a successful online business.

3. Automatic ‘Traffic For Clicks’ Software

Traffic for clicks are deals where you get traffic for every website or ad that you view. The more websites you browse, more credit you’ll get, which means more your own website will be displayed to others using same service.

I have noticed an ad for a software that automatically browses others websites, so you would get credit without having to do anything... I laughed out loud after giving it some thought, here’s why...

Let’s assume you buy such software, you activate it and go to sleep. The software starts browsing others websites, and you get a HUGE credit. Meanwhile, someone else is using a similar software, and HIS software is browsing YOUR website, and vice versa!

So you get tons of hits, your web statistics will show an amazing rate of visitors. However, ‘people’ visiting your website, are actually a small ‘piece’ of software ;-)

I could go on and give more examples. The saying “it sounds too good to be true” applies here! While some of those tools might have worked for some (probably first guys who laid their hand on them), they do NOT build a solid base for a successful online business.

To avoid any of those hypes, just use your common sense, ask your self a simple question: If you knew a quick way to drive millions to your websites instantly and without some efforts, would you give that secret away?!
