I feel one of main reasons is way people are advertising their opportunity to prospect.

Just think about that for a moment, also think about how you are bringing prospects into your program or opportunity.

Far too many new affiliates tend to over-hype their opportunity in hope of getting a new sign-up, some do it through miseducation about opportunity and some through a deliberate effort to mislead to get an end result.

Unfortunately, this form of advertising will have a huge negative affect on their monthly online income and also on way a prospect will react when they realize that opportunity is not all that was promised.

If this type of advertising and promotion describes way you are promoting, I can predict your online future for you right now..................

.................................you don't have one!

That's right, you are wasting your time and money trying to build a successful online business in this way. If your business is MLM or network marketing based then you will soon find yourself dead in water.

To build a solid residual income from one of those business types, you need to build a solid team of affiliates and members who trust you, and are prepared to follow you and your methods to get results.

More often than not you can not be successful unless your team or downline is successful, if you bring them in by promising more than you can deliver they will be gone before they earn you a cent.

If you want to build a successful online business in MLM or Network Marketing then you need to be honest and upfront about your program. If you have to make false claims about your opportunity to get people to sign-up, then you need to start looking for a new opportunity to join.

Network Marketing can produce outstanding results if you know a few simple concepts, understanding of which is critical to your success.

Network Marketing, MLM, and Multilevel Marketing are unlike franchises or conventional businesses in that they take advantage of all three of important, yet misunderstood principles of:

1) Leverage (of Time and Money) 2) Residual Income 3) Geometric Growth Through Duplication

Unfortunately these principles are not well understood by many of people that undertake network marketing. And that's just one of many reasons why so many fail at network marketing. There are lots of other reasons, and it would take volumes to cover them all. But this is one of more common ones. Because if you don't comprehend and believe in these principles, it's impossible to help others fully understand and appreciate them.

First, lets look at LEVERAGE:

Every successful person or business takes advantage of leverage. There are only 24 hours in a day and no matter how talented you are or how much you get paid per hour, if you don't take advantage of leverage you're limited by number of hours in a day. As a side note, I have heard of cases where an occasional lawyer was billing more than 24 hours per day…but, I guess that’s another story. By learning to leverage your time, you can also benefit from a percentage of other people's efforts, and dramatically increase your income while creating more free time for yourself.

The unique and wonderful thing about Network Marketing business model is that everyone has same opportunity to become 'owner' of his or her own business - with a fraction of investment of time and money of a franchise or traditional business.

In network marketing people at top definitely have a vested interest in helping others on their team succeed.

Would you rather receive 100% of one person's efforts, or 5% of efforts of 100 people?

Obviously 100% of one is always only ONE. But 5% of 100 is FIVE. Not only will total result with leverage almost always be amplified, but your income is not dependent on only one person. If your income is produced by activities of many, it is much more dependable. Even if something unexpected or negative happens to one or more of those people, it only has a minor effect on total production.
