WHY YOUR MLM STINKS And Why You Are So Frustrated

I know, your intentions were good.

All you wanted to do is make money for you and your family.

You tried different things before.

A job was the first. Go to work, get paid. Simple system, right? Work more, make more. But too many other things got in the way. Bosses. Layoffs. Coworkers. Conservative Republicans ruining the economy and keeping wages low. You need MORE MONEY. But how?

I got it! You need a BUSINESS. But what kind? A franchise? Too expensive. Real estate? Too much work (and too expensive). Organized crime? Too messy.

HEY! Wait a minute! You know a guy who knows a guy who knows a girl who makes MILLIONS in “multilevel marketing”! But what’s that? Isn’t that one of those “pyramid deals” where everybody goes to jail? Nooooo! It’s legitimate! It’s not a “pyramid”. Social security’s a “pyramid”. Your JOB is a “pyramid”.

Buy this “kit”. Follow this “system”. Recruit all your friends and family. We’re all gonna be RICH! All it costs is $49.95… plus whatever the limit is on your credit card. Like Dave Chappelle said, “I’m rrrich, BEEYATCH!”

So why did all your friends scatter like roaches? Why does your family screen out your phone calls? Howcome the Spam-O-Matic didn’t work? WHERE’S ALL THE MONEY??

Pull up a chair, Rockefeller, and I’ll explain it to you.

See, you’ve been “had”… BAD. The reason it didn’t work is not because it CAN’T--- you just went about it the wrong way. You started with skunks and you got SKUNKS. You know how this works:

You reap what you sow. You grow what you plant. Like follows like. Nature develops its own kind. It’s pretty simple, really.

Put men and women together in society, and they’ll make more men and women. That’s the way it works on up the food chain. Put two rabbits together, you get more rabbits. Gerbils will get you gerbils. Skunks will get you skunks. Cats/cats, dogs/dogs, etc.

Everybody loves rabbits. I’ve never seen anyone look at a bunny and say anything other than, “Awwwwww.” But starting with a skunk, you’ll never get a rabbit. And skunks STINK.

Bunny ears on a skunk don’t make it a rabbit. Same thing with MLM. I don’t care how “cute” or lucrative it LOOKS like it is, if it starts out as a stinky, immoral, unethical SCAM, it’ll end up as a stinky, immoral, unethical scam.

SO, HERE’S WHY YOUR PROSPECTS RAN…

They wanted to be in the bunny business with you. They had cute, furry bunny rabbits named Good Intentions. You had a skunk with bunny ears, which you called Nettie (short for “network marketing”). So you put the animals together and expected rabbits. But what came out was skunks. And your partners would rather fly into the side of a mountain than deal with that, so that’s why they ran.

Your downline flew into the side of a mountain and left you holding a bag o’ skunks with bunny ears. Stinks, don’t it? I know, I know.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT…

First of all, STOP. Just stop! Don’t do ANYTHING ELSE until you learn the truth about MLM. You need to know what went wrong and why… what to do to fix it, and how.
Once you learn, you won’t have to go and find people anymore, THEY’LL COME FIND YOU. And they’ll do what you need them to do, which is build you a business and go get your money.
