I remember the old days in network marketing, where new
companies would pop-up, recruiting anyone that had a pulse
and could leave a 'dot' on the mirror when held under their
nose ... it was considered a bonus if you got two dots
(just kidding).
They promised "Don't worry ... we'll build your downline
for you.
At first glance, or hearing, that sounds good .. less
stress and work for the new recruit. However, it seems to
promote two different thoughts for me.
First, If you're going to do it for me, what in the world
do you need me for? And, are you going to put like minded
people in my downline? Isn't this a guaranteed way to build
a 'dead leg'?

Good article Phillip! I'll continue along with Dane's comment. I really think you should continue along this line some more. There's so much to be said on this subject about the reality of building an online business (or offline). Network Marketing can be a viable business for some folks, the problem is.. most folks getting involved still have an employee mindset. Treat an MLM like a real business, and it may very well perform like one for you. Setting goals, performance measurements, etc... sounds like a business plan to me.
Hi Dane,
Thanks for the heads up :)
The article is now complete ... not quite sure WHAT happened, but it's done now :)
Phillip
Were you planing on developing this thought any further?
