It cracks me up that everybody researching a home based business opportunity wants to know if it’s a “scam”! The fact of the matter is that most of the “review” information that you can find online about network marketing opportunities are written by people who have motives that you can’t always determine…they are either looking to sell you on the business or product or slam their competition so that they can sell you on their business or product. That’s it!

I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago about Primo Vacations and I have found that I am getting traffic to my blog (which is what I want!) from people searching Primo Vacations Scam. It just seems a normal search term in the home based business industry but I don’t think it should be. Although, TVI might make me look bad on that front! TVI unfortunately looks like it may have been a scam all along. That’s too bad…it’s like the few Major League baseball players who were caught doing steroids. It’s tough to look at any player now who is successful and not think that they must be doing steroids too! But, imagine when you researching an offline business…Is Red Lobster a scam? Is American Airlines a scam?

Primo Vacations may not be for everyone, because nothing ever is, but it is a legitimate home based business owned by Rob Hanley, who also owns and runs the successful YourNetBiz program. There is nothing  illegal or scammish about either the company or owner. It’s not an MLM but rather a direct sales business where the product you sell actually has value on the open market that is at least equal to its’ price, which is unusual. If you take the tour, you will note that not a penny was spared in creating the best marketing system that I have seen on the internet. Plus, the people involved in marketing the business are all top marketers who take their businesses very seriously. A good sign in my book!

Now, the real reason that people tend to think network marketing businesses are scams is that the masses do not succeed. It’s really that simple. I’ve spoken many times about the high failure rate in network marketing. But, the reason for the high failure rate in my opinion, is that people never learn how to properly market their business and they don’t spend enough time trying to learn and/or they aren’t willing to spend any money to advertise. You need to spend either time or money (or preferably both) to achieve the desired network marketing success. It’s not hard…you just have to “want it’!

Continue to do your due diligence before joining any program and research your sponsor as well. Just realize that most “scam” articles have an ulterior motive To see the Primo marketing system and decide if joining Primo Vacations is the right decision for you: 

Why Is The Network Marketing Failure Rate So High?

I got to thinking about this yesterday and thought I’d write a quick post about my opinion of why the network marketing failure rate is so high and causes so many people to quit. To learn what I think about how most people choose the wrong business opportunities to join, which hurts their chances of success…More About The Network Marketing Failure Rate.

In my humble opinion, network marketing offers tremendous opportunity for wealth creation for the average person. The entry fee to start your online business is inexpensive and the upside is great. The low entry fee is why many people who do not have the entrepreneurial drive get involved. They are suckered in by claims by companies of making gobs of money while the marketer is either sleeping or on the beach.

To succeed online, it takes work. To most people, this is a 4-letter word George Carlin should have included in his skit from years ago (those of you my age will know what I’m talking about)! To give you an example, I received an email from one of my downline members recently who had received an email from his downline member. His downline member was wondering if the program she had joined was really going to work because she hadn’t gotten any sign-ups in her 1 day of marketing! She was thinking that the program might be a scam! This, unfortunately, is the mindset of the majority of “network marketers” and contributes greatly to the 97% failure rate and high attrition rates that we always hear about. This failure rate is the same with people starting off-line businesses as well.

Most people are just not cut out to run their own business. It’s not in their make-up and that’s OK. But, this makes the failure rate arbitrarily high. I have no way of proving this but the failure rate of people who actually apply themselves and have a success-oriented mindset is much lower than 97%. Probably lower than 50%.

Another contributing factor is “The grass is always greener on the other side”. This statement is rarely true. I’ve learned this the hard-way throughout the years in my offline business life. The key is to find a business opportunity, or a few, that you believe in and that are legitimate, and work those programs. If you don’t know how to market, learn. That’s what I’m doing with MyLeadSystemPro. I have been in sales and marketing for my entire 20 plus year career and had done some internet marketing but nothing like this. Online network marketing is dynamic and we all need to learn as much as we can and apply what we learn in our marketing efforts, even if it’s not perfect. This applies to any business: If you educate yourself consistently, you will know more than 95% of your competition. Most people are either overwhelmed or too lazy (sorry) to apply themselves.

Then, it is the sponsor’s job to relay this information onto their members. I have been involved in a few business opportunities where I never hear from my sponsor. Even when I reached out to them! I don’t think they’d answer the door if I showed up at their house and knocked! These people will never be successful. No matter what your experience level, you need to educate, mentor, and motivate your downline. Sometimes this can be difficult because they are not receptive but you still need to do it. This will come back to you ten-fold because your message will resonate with some.

Basically, it is my opinion that the network marketing failure rate is inflated by the people who shouldn’t be in the business to begin with. With a negative mindset, there is no way to be successful. Without seeking out and following a proven system, it will take a long time to realize some success and it might be too long. For those who are giving real effort, and consistently educating themselves, I assure you that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Do not give up because this is a great business with plenty of room for everyone who wants to…to succeed. And create the lifestyle that they’ve always dreamed of.
