Stats? How many people join the advg MLM First year? Second year?
360668
For an average MLM, you're looking at between 300 (not doing well) to 10,000-20,000 people for the first year alone. According to DSA, to be considered a fast growing MLM you need about 20,000 people joining. I would caution though that a lot depends on the products/services MLM offers - some are inexpensive and consumable, others are expensive and one time purchase only, so numbers of people joining doesn't represent quality of people joining. Best MLMs, however, grow slower at first, focusing on customer service and, ironically, turning away distributors from out-of-area until other areas become part of business expansion. \n\nThere are close to 3,000 MLM companies in our databases right now; most fail in the first year and never even make it to 2nd year; 80% of all MLMs would fail in 3 years. Also, how many people join doesn't at all mean how many people stay active - 80% of people quit within 3-5 months while 95% of all distributors in average MLM quit within 1-2 years. So a company may claim, correctly, that 20,000 people joined them this year - yet it'll also be true that only 1000 of them are currently active distributors. \n\nLastly, it is also important to consider who's joining - if professional MLMers are joining (like the ones who follow the industry and bring in their own downlines with them to each new company). If such people join, numbers can go way way up quickly - yet the numbers go down just as quick when these same "heavy hitters" take their downlines to the next MLM they're joining. This is one of the best and only ways for distributors to make real money quickly in MLM, but it does hurt the Company that experiences quick growth, invests in its systems/biz, and then deflates because the heavy hitters moved on. All of this impacts the numbers of people joining, but the numbers won't actually represent how many interested distributors joined because their motivations are unknown until quite some time passes.

I started with Isagenix March 2006.  Utilizing the Internet and PPC campaigns I was able to build a list of 450+ retail customers, 160 Associates / Consultantss, 50 personally enrolled and a nice weekly income.\nSince the end of Oct /06, Isagenix corporate is not allowing any associates, etc to use the Isagenix name and product name in PPC advertising.  This has resulted in a substantial reduction in my weekly earnings so now I am shifting over to building tools to assist my downline to replicate.  Tools such as the navigation toolbar you can download at http://isanav.ourtoolbar.com  If you have further interest, feel free to contact me.

It really depends. Just starting out in your first year probably about 30-40 thousand. Many established reps make well over 100,000. It will be easier if you can sell other products as well. Disability, long term care etc...

I started Mary Kay in February. Let me tell u... TOTAL CROCK OF SHIT. There r no other incentives, sure u could make a bit of money but only through minipulating people and pressuring them into holding classes. When I began they gave me a script on how to convince people to buy things they dont want. My family & friends started avoiding me because they thought I was only talking to them to sell them something. Dont waste your time!

I've never heard of Quixtar.\n\nHow was your training & support?  Was there any?\n\nAs far as conning anyone, the training I receive steers away for the old way of doing mlm.  Any mlm is a voluntary business decision for the person that joins.\n\nIf it doesn't work, may the product(s) aren't what they say they are?  Do they sign someone up and leave them out to fend for themself?  \n\nThat's a shame if those things happen.\n\nI guess I've been lucky.\n\nGood luck to you.  Move on and do a lot of research on the company before making your decision.\n\nCheck out the link below for an article I read the other day & posted to my blog.  I thought it was pretty good.  Hope it helps you.

MLM's make 90% of their money through turn-over.  Constantly repeating a cycle of recruiting, training, selling and quitting.\n\nMost people will join, sell what they can to friends and family, then quit.  \n\nIt's only an opportunity for those willing to recruit and train.  Problem is, once you realize you are selling overpriced crap to your friends and family, most people won't be able to recruit anyone if they don't believe in the product they are selling.\n\nBottom line, MLM's are tough for most people to make any real money at, unless you stick through it long enough to recruit lots of people below you, where you make money on their sales.  \n\nAnd of course no one wants to show you their books or really look at hard figures, because it's all pie in the sky.

Most people want to join a guild that is already established. Usually one that has newbie packs, a guild store, 1np auctions, etc. I started my own guild and only had four members, I decided to close down my guild and join one instead. It was a lot of work making layouts, updating it, finding members... and then not having a lot of people join. Try advertising your guild on the Guild Boards, and have other members refer other people to the guild. Start a guild shop, and start making money, so that you can offer birthday packs, newbie packs, etc... for members. Have Scavenger Hunts and other fun games, but remember the guild rules. You can't offer prizes or have contests. So the games are just for fun. Good luck!

I smell a rat. If you are so succesful then why are you advertising on this forum for free?!?!?\n\nHow much does someone have to invest?!? Where's the hard facts instead of the nicey nicey invites?!?!\n\nPeople deserve more up front. Instead of people like you getting people to attend under duress and then you hit them with the 'hard sale'.\n\nStop preying on the impressionable. \n\nAnd if I'm wrong, why not add an internet link to your companys site so we can all see how good an opportunity this is
