MLM Compensation Plans - Can You Draw a Circle?

By Adam Sheleon


Are you considering getting into the Multi Level Marketing business? Many are because it's a great opportunity to have your own home based business and make plenty of money. But consumer beware : not all MLM compensation plans are designed the same. Here are a couple of things to consider.

Let's make the assumption you have just done some homework about the company you have in mind, and they look solid. You poked around on the web and found both bad and good info about the company. It appeared that all of the complaints came from disgruntled distributors, but hey, the man in the fancy vehicle said that's due to the fact they failed to work hard enough to build their team. You have got to work at any type of job to be a hit don't you? That will not be a problem, you know hundreds of people.

One thing you can never have been told about was the compensation plan. Did you even trouble asking? And if you probably did was the answer so tricky that you continue to don't get it?

Hear this. Even though many MLM compensation plans have fancy names they don't seem to be too tricky to understand if you write them down on paper. You ought to be making a bunch of notes anyway, not simply about the compensation plan, you should also have an inventory of your ambitions and a business plan already down on paper.

Do not get all heated up about what these compensation plans are called. The difference between an Australian One Up structure plan and a matrix or a binary plan is really not that vital. It isn't what matters. The question is, are folks in this business making the sort of money that you wish to make yourself? If they are , then glaringly the compensation plan is working for them so you've got the perfect opportunity to get in and build up your very own business.

One this to look for is if the company pays any type of sign up bonus. For instance, it may cost $150 to join and the company may pay out a $20 sign up bonus. This is good, but not good if you compare it to a company that costs the same to join but pays out a solid $50 per sign up.

At some particular point everybody on your team is going to run straight out of folk they know and they'll have to get involved in marketing. Marketing costs money. So think of the bonus as rainy day cash that can be put away to start your advertising or selling budget which should add to your success in the future.

But if you don't make any money signing folk up, how can you afford to continue to market and promote your business? So commissions earned for staying in private production could make or break your business.

There's one more thing to think about, when you look at MLM compensation plans what happens if your sponsor is the genuine go getter, he's one of those folks it gets busy and can build business very quickly? Are you likely to get a proportion of what they make as you would in a binary program or would you like to have to find someone else who is as good as he's to balance your legs?

This is the deal, it is smart to choose a couple of corporations and have a close look at their MLM compensation plans comparing one to the other. It's up to you to figure out which plan will help you in achieving your final business aims.
