Just wanted to say this is looking like a great forum. I have been involved with MLM for about 4 years. 8 years if you count my attempts with a long list of companies who never materialized into profits.
I think I have tried every way to make money online in the last 8 years. They all sound so good but without traffic, not much happens.
Only when I discovered how to get people to want to come to my webpages did things turn around. Instead of a main goal of getting a sale or signup, I switched to providing good information for free and getting them to come back again and again.
If you have a unique free offer, then people will take you up on it and tell their friends too. Teach them how to make money first with great free advice and a story about what you do to earn. After they read that, you have a much better chance of persuading them to opt in for your advanced help and assistance.
Welcome to othe forum! i couldn't agree with you more. People get online because they are looking for something in particular. Why not give them exactly what they are looking for, which of course is information. And even better FREE information.
It just might be better to give than receive. Or maybe its actually best to give and THEN you shall receive.
