You will agree that it doesn't make sense to listen to someone who has not achieved success in network marketing telling you it does not work, won't you? Failures will tell you how they fail or will give you all kinds of information to justify their failures!
I personally have listened to internet marketers who shot themselves in the foot knocking down an industry that have proven itself for over 50 years! It is very unprofessional to knock down an industry to promote your own internet marketing business, every business has it pros and cons and it is a matter of preference, some people prefer to do network marketing and some prefer to do internet marketing and some prefer to do both! In fact network marketing combined with internet marketing is truly a marriage made in heaven!
In fact most businesses are multi-level and even internet marketing affiliate programs that offer two-tier is multi-level (which technically means more than one level) and why two levels? It is all about leverage! I predict in the near future, that many programs will turned into network marketing because two-tier program do not give you as much leverage as a seven-tier program - it is simple common sense! It is all about leveraging and in fact from my perspective, I find network marketing has more heart because it involves more emotions and relationship where people see each other physically at meetings and conventions.
In life you will always have the spectators, the amateurs, the critics, the failures and the winners. In fact there are no "failures" in network marketing, only quitters or those who joined the wrong companies or did the wrong things and decided to try other businesses such as internet marketing!
Even in internet marketing, it is the same, you have the spectators - people who are there to watch and be entertained, the amateurs or dabblers - people who didn't put serious effort into it, the critics -people who are not doing it but are good at criticizing, the failures or quitters - people who tried a few times (most likely they were doing the wrong things)and say it doesn't work! And the winners, those who "fail" many times but do not see them as "failures" but learning experiences and keep on doing it and usually they took three to five years to get it right and not three to five months!
That's life! Example, in a football game, you have 22 players in the field and thousands of spectators, amateur or dabbler players, and critics watching the professionals play the game! Does that mean that it is impossible to be a professional football player? Does that mean the majority wants to be a professional football player? Thousands are happy to be spectators and amateur players. And, of course, you will always have the critics there giving their opinions, criticizing, and cursing!
I have been in network marketing business for 14 years and over the years I've heard many people who tried network marketing a few times but it didn't work for them and they started to bad-mouth the entire industry! It is very silly to do that because it is like experiencing food poisoning in a few restaurants and telling people not to eat at restaurants! Two major factors for not achieving results in network marketing, joining the wrong company and doing the wrong things!
There are many companies that have hurt the industry with poor compensation plans where the newbies find it difficult to earn a decent part-time income and plus the misrepresentation and hype which is also very common in internet marketing, people are promised the moon but left in the mud!
The other important factor is you! You can't expect to get good results when you are doing the wrong things, most likely you joined the wrong companies with "leaders" front-loading you with thousands of dollars of products and misleading you! Plus the "wolves in the sheep skin" companies who disguised themselves as MLM or network marketing companies and offer you a get-rick-quick scheme or promote a money game scheme!
The next time you hear someone bad-mouthing network marketing, ask him if he has been successful in network marketing? Most likely he was not successful in network marketing. And if not, why not, and I can bet he will have lots of reasons to justify his "failures" and probably he is promoting his own internet marketing business. I've got nothing against internet marketing, it is just another form of marketing which also has its share of poor "leaders", misrepresentation and "wolves in sheepskin".
So what can you do about it? Use your intelligence and ask yourself, is the person speaking to you sincere? Is he telling the truth and what is his motivation? Is he being professional or is he simply knocking down another industry to promote his own business? Do your due diligence and check the person or company's track record, are there many people earning a decent part-time income or is it similar to a pyramid scheme where only a few make the money and the rest ask "where's the money?". Is it simple, profitable and duplicatable? Can you understand what he is talking about? Can you do it? If it is not clear to you and you find difficulty understanding how it works, that is a good indication not to jump into it!
