You see, with online MLM programs of today, it's very possible that you may be only person in your country joining a certain online MLM program and all your downlines reside in other countries across globe. This holds especially true for some countries where internet access is not as common as in US and most European countries.

In such condition, that certain online MLM program won't have a representative office in your country yet. This means your commisions will be paid directly from that online MLM company's head quarter.

Even if you live in US or Europe and online MLM company's headquarter is located in your country, it is still crucial to know options you have in receiving money you've earned as commision from them.

Generally speaking, there are four ways of online MLM commisions payments:

- Bank Transfer - Pay Card - Check - Paypal and other "virtual money" forms

Let's take a closer look at each of these payment methods in order of flexibility:

1. Bank Transfer

This is by far most flexible payment form of online MLM commision payment. With this method, MLM company orders their bank to deposit your money directly into your bank account by means of bank transfer. Typical processing time from payment until money can be used is two days until 1 week.

With this method, you will receive your money within 1 week after payment. Since money is in your local bank, you have liberty of spending it any way you like, just like you would with your "normal" income.

If your online MLM has this payment option, it is best to check if they charge any bank transfer fee and whether or not they will deduct it from your payment.

Writer's suggestion: Go for this option even if you have many other payment options. This is best.

2. Pay Card

With this method, MLM company will send you a Pay Card that functions as an ATM card that can be used in any ATM machine in any country that supports Visa/Mastercard transactions.

The most important feature of this method is: there is no delay between payment time until money can be used. The minute your payment is done, you can retrieve your money from almost any ATM in world. One drawback though: for every money withdrawal transaction there is a typical withdrawal fee of around US$3 (this may vary from country to country and from bank to bank).

Only big online MLM companies can afford to this method, as Visa/Mastercard only accept reputable companies as their partners.

Writer's suggestion: Choose this method only if you don't have Bank Transfer option.

3. Check

As "offline" as it may seem, check is still most used form on online MLM commision payment until today.

Every where I have honor of speaking, I see over and over 5 types of recruiters on MLM, and they all remind me of animals. (smile)

Animals have a particular way of creating in their habitat what they need to survive and live on, and to become what nature meant for them to be. You may even see yourself in one of these Recruiting Animals that run rampant in MLM.

There are 5 Types of recruiters in MLM and Network Marketing:

The first:

1) "The Snake".

This is type of recruiter that deceives and takes advantage of folks and is a cancer to this great industry.

This recruiter has one focus: To TAKE and do whatever it takes to recruit you, including unethical things and practices.

Why?

Who knows, but they are out there, and it is a shame. A snake slithers around ground silently and looks for prey.

Sound familiar? Know anyone like that?

If you do, stay away from them as they are bad news.

2) "The Hyena."

This is person who simply cannot shut up during a recruiting meeting or call. They are focused on themselves and talk about themselves and like a hyena, run their mouths and laugh a lot all in name of "look at me, and what I have done."

Give me a break.

INFERNO Secret:

People come into this MLM business for THEIR reasons, not yours.

Keep conversation focused on them and not you. Don't be like a hyena and dominate meeting. Don't be like a hyena and look foolish to prospect. Don't be like a hyena and constantly be engaged in bringing attention to you.

Keep your attention on them, and you will have a much better chance of recruiting someone.

3) "The Cow."

The Cow is "Lay around all day and do nothing and chew on CUD" Recruiter.

These folks are less-than ambitious people who wander around in MLM and chew on "Failure Grass" and it ends up CUD.

Cows chew CUD daily. What does "CUD" stand for?

"Consistently Unproductive Daily."

That's what Cows do. They do nothing and get nothing in this business.

Brutal?

Yes.

The Truth?

Absolutely!

Are you a Cow in recruiting? Do you MOOOOO? (As instead of working, you end up watching MOOOOvies?)
