AtricleZine - MLM Success - How Many Network Marketers Does It Take To Screw In a Light Bulb?
How many of you have heard, like I did when I was first started out, 'Man, you get into private practice and it is so hard, and it is so much competition, and you'll never make it'? We've all heard that one.There are many, many people, and some of yomay believe this, 'There are just too many people in my niche; there is just too many folks for me to make it.' OK, that's part of what the mindset is not.The other part of the mindset, interestingly enough, another part that it is not, is that in order to play large, you do not have to be famous, you do not have to be well known in your niche, in the relationship, you do not have to be a John Gray, or a John Gottman, or any of those folks, OK?It's not becoming a name, becoming well known, or a celebrity or something.So those are the three
While the simplest method for determining this figure would be to ask someone in your upline how many people they have and how much money they are making, they may not be exactly forthcoming in their response. So the best solution is to figure it out for yourself.

Although the formula for this equation is relatively simple, depending on what type of Compensation Plan you have it will probably require the use of a calculator.

Site Architecture1. Utilize search engine friendly URL links which have hyphens instead of underscores, dynamic or session URLs which often confuse crawlers.2. Rewrite dynamic URLs via .htaccess into URL friendly ones.3. Use robots.txt to control access to which pages crawlers analyze and index. Restrict robots from “print” html pages for example to control duplicate content issues.4. Put each domain on a separate IP address. Sharing IP addresses with other sites that could potentially be spamming or using black hat techniques isn’t smart, and at $3-5 a month for a unique IP it’s worth it.5. If you’re running Linux as your web hosting server then read about creating an .htaccess file to avoid canonicalization.6. If you’re running Windows as your web hosting server then le
Are you looking at your Compensation Plan through rose-colored glasses?
Caution needs to be taken when trying to evaluate a Compensation Plan merely by looking at the way it is presented to potential distributors. Often a company may explain it in their literature and on their website in a way that is simply trying to paint a pretty picture for your financial success.
For instance, some companies would have you assume that everyone in your organization will be ordering their required auto ship and, in the case of the binary plan, that both legs are equally balanced. Yeah, right…in a perfect world! They don't illustrate the reality and consequences of breakage and spillover. These are funds that are retained by the company and never make their way into the pockets of the distributors who put their blood, sweat and tears into generating them.
As a result, the majority of Network Marketers do not understand the dynamics of compensation plans. This is primarily due to the lack of statistical information available in the MLM industry.
Compensation Plan Basics
The first step is to understand what type of Compensation Plan a company offers. Assuming you have a basic knowledge of MLM, here is a very brief overview of the five most common plans and how they work:
- Matrix: A fixed number of people in width and depth paying a percentage based on each spot.
- Unilevel: Unlimited width with a fixed number of levels that pays out a certain percentage for each level.
- Binary: Two people in width and unlimited depth. Pays on volume cycles when a fixed amount of volume moves through each of the sides.
- Stairstep Breakaway: Unlimited width with a volume based percentage payout that breaks away once someone in your downline hits a particular level of sales.
- Aussie 2-Up: The commission on the first two people you sponsor goes to someone up-line from you.
Often these are designed to work in combination with each other, so it is important that you analyze your individual plan thoroughly. Ultimately, however, the goal should be to find a plan that provides the most income with the least amount of people.
Do the math
Look at your Compensation Plan and ask yourself the following question:
- How many people will it take in your organization to make $10,000 a month?
I'm talking about passive, recurring, residual income on the backside, not including bonuses, one time commissions and any additional perks. This $10,000 figure can be replaced with whatever dollar amount you choose in order to reach your personal goal for financial success, but we'll use $10,000 for the purpose of our example.
While the simplest method for determining this figure would be to ask someone in your upline how many people they have and how much money they are making, they may not be exactly forthcoming in their response. So the best solution is to figure it out for yourself.

The virtual assistance industry continues to grow, but there are still some business professionals out there who don’t know what a virtual assistant is or what they do. Here is a brief explanation and some ideas on how a virtual assistant can help you.Simply put, virtual assistants are off-site administrative professionals. They should be able to complete any project that an on-site administrative assistant can complete. Virtual assistants typically have expertise in their particular area, whether it’s paralegal, administrative, marketing, writing/editing, or online business experience. Often, these individuals will also have a college degree. They are professionals you can depend on to help you make the most of your business.Hiring a virtual assistant is going to be much like hiring a new empl

A car is no more a necessity; in fact, it has become a status symbol. It is something which can draw envious glance of your relatives and friends. You cannot end up with just any car. It has to be grand, special, having an imprint of your own personality. This was the story of your heart, what about mind, which may rendezvous with the harsh reality. Besides high dreams, you may find that the price of that particular vehicle may be sky rocketing and beyond your reach. What can one do in such situations? Well, you are lucky enough since there are so many lenders offering personal car loans. You just have to put in some extra effort and find out a loan option that can offer you much benefit.After discussing the need and purpose of personal car loans, let us come directly to what all you need to know about the

Although the formula for this equation is relatively simple, depending on what type of Compensation Plan you have it will probably require the use of a calculator. But the time expended on this short remedial math exercise will prove to be well worth the effort and will give you a clear idea of exactly what level of success you can expect from your efforts. It will save you a lot of frustration and feelings of failure later on when you realize your paychecks aren't quite what you were expecting.
Formula for Success
For a matrix or unilevel plan the equation is pretty straightforward. Figure out the average percentage of commission you are making on each level (usually there is a different percentage for each). Then determine the average monthly dollar amount (BV, PV or CV) spent by each member of your organization. Divide that by the average percentage, leaving you with the dollar amount generated by each member of your downline. Divide $10,000 by this average amount and you have the number of people you will need.
Example: Say you have a 5 X 7 matrix that pays an average of 7%, seven levels deep. If the average monthly purchase for each member is $50, then 7% of $50 is $3.50 per person. $10,000 divided by $3.50 equals 2,857 people.
Wow! They didn't explain that in the literature, did they?
Just for reference, for a monthly income of $10,000 a stairstep breakaway plan typically requires anywhere from 1600 to 1800 people (if you can keep them from breaking away), a binary somewhere in a range of 3000 to 5000 (taking into consideration the balancing act you'll need to perform), and a matrix about 2200 to 3200. However, I recently crunched the numbers for one unilevel plan that required almost 14,000 people!
Do your math homework
If you do a bit of investigating, you will find that there are some great Network Marketing companies with beneficial compensation plans requiring less than 500 people in your organization to make $10,000 a month. But don't just take the company's word for it. Do the math! Just because you happen to be mathematically challenged, don't let this deter you from figuring out how much your paycheck will be. Even if math just isn't your thing, it really shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. But if you have difficulty it's worth eliciting the help of one if needed. And if you can't find one on a nearby street corner, I'm sure you can find someone who is more left-brained than you are that will be willing to help.
Don't rely on recruiting alone
One final tip: Make sure that your company offers a product or service that has a legitimate need in the marketplace and that it is priced competitively. The company must emphasize getting products or services into the hands of consumers, not just on finding new recruits. If the company is not centered around the movement of a product or service, your success, if any, will be limited.
