This was the first blog that I ever wrote, however based on what I am seeing today and based on what I have learned since I originally wrote this article, I felt the need to dig into the archives and revisit this little piece of commentary. In my original article I indicated that, “Today we are bombarded with get rich quick offers. These offers tell us that we can be overnight/internet sensations if we only buy a particular system.”

I also stated that,  “I am a firm believer in entrepreneurial enterprises. In fact I would have to say that being your own boss is probably the most satisfying experience a person can have. However, before you decide to jump on the “I’m Rich” bandwagon I suggest that you do the research.”

However what I did not know then that I know now has made the difference in eating crackers and cutting steak. I was focusing on the wrong things. I was focusing on statistics, wisdom and knowledge as it pertains to the entrepreneurial world of business. What I should have been focusing on was the how as opposed to the why. If you allow me to update my thoughts I would be much obliged.

Yes the rumors are true MLM companies are all the rage and yes, they are making a lot of people very wealthy, or if you prefer rich. However there are a couple of caveats that one has to keep in mind. In a nutshell one has to understand that just by joining an MLM doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be rich. The idea is to choose on that will really work for you one that saves you the hassle of constant cold calls or direct contact with potential prospects. This constant uphill battle can be achieved simply by choosing an MLM that offers some type of constant contact and an auto responder. Aweber and GetResponse can solve these problems for you.

The next on the list is getting with a program that offers you training, training and more training. In an MLM business you never want to stop learning. The Internet is forever changing so it should be assumed that you MLM business would change as well. My suggestion to this problem would be to find a reputable Internet Marketing professional that offers a proven system that works such as Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring System or his Black belt Recruiting system. Think about it without proper marketing and being unable to attract prospects your business will undoubtedly fail.

Last but definitely not least is to learn how to create your own web presence that will brand “You.” What does that mean? It means that you should create a web address that will make people want to click on your name link. Keep in mind you don’t want to get a clever name just to have a static (non- updatable) web site, What you want is to create a name and learn to mask it in you WordPress blog. GoDaddy has the tools that you need to achieve this goal.

Study, read, learn, do your due diligence. You can “Get Rich Quick” but I suggest you do the research. Napoleon Hill may have said it best when he said, “”Success Requires No Apologies. Failure Permits No Alibis.”
