Not so long ago I used to spend a small fortune playing the Euro Millions lottery and the UK National lottery, only to end up losing money hand over fist. These days however, I make good money every time the Euro Millions lottery draw takes place. But the remarkable thing is – I don’t even have to buy a single ticket. How smart is that?
Winning any lottery is a long shot, but having to match 7 correct numbers makes winning the Euro millions jackpot an almost impossible dream, wouldn’t you agree?
Even matching the minimum 3 correct numbers for the smallest prize isn’t easy is it? But what if there was a way to win a cash prize for matching just one correct number? Wouldn’t that at least increase your winnings and cut your losses whilst waiting for that big win?
Camelot (the official UK National Lottery and Euro Millions lottery organizers) readily admit that 1 in 4 lottery jackpots are won by syndicates, so this should set some bells ringing in your head.
But syndicates aren’t easy to organize are they? Who needs the hassle of chasing down the syndicate members, collecting the money on time, driving to the retail outlet and then queuing up to pay for the tickets, before driving home again?
OK, a small syndicate might be manageable, I agree. But the odds are still too high. You still need to match all of those 7 numbers don’t you? So what needs to change to swing the odds in YOUR favour?
It’s not often that those two Euro Millions Lucky Star numbers actually turn out to be lucky is it? Well not for you maybe. But I can now take them for granted – every week. In fact every Friday night, I know I have matched those two Lucky Star numbers even before the draw has taken place.
So does that mean I play with only five numbers instead of playing with 7 like the rest of the ordinary mug punters who know no better? You bet it does. And before you ask – yes it’s 100% legal and above board.
But this can only be accomplished in one way, and that is by becoming a member of a professionally organized syndicate that buys enough tickets (in the correct order) to guarantee those two Lucky Star numbers every week in every draw. And it must do this in a way that ensures a low entry fee, so that regular lottery players can take advantage of this massive advantage every week.
Joining such a syndicate has only been possible since 2002 when a UK based company set up the first (and only) Internet based UK National lottery and EuroMillions syndicate advantage system. But here’s the best part…….
You can now become a lottery syndicate agent yourself (from almost any country in the world) but without all the hassle that goes with organizing a traditional syndicate. All you have to do, is to direct people to your own unique lottery website, given to you when you join. It really is that easy.
Then, as people join a syndicate from your website, you earn £1 in commission EVERY WEEK that they continue to play. And as you only need 5 new syndicate players to cover your own syndicate entry fee and effectively play for free, you’ll no doubt realise that this really is the smart way to play the lottery and create a second income for yourself at the same time.
Let’s face it. There are no shortages of network marketing companies today, however how do you know what network marketing company is right for you? In this brief article, I’m going to give you some important things to consider when looking at a network marketing opportunity. These points are important and shouldn’t be skipped over if you’re ultimate goal is to become successful with a MLM business.
The first thing that you should look at is the compensation plan. Many multi-level marketing companies today feature compensation plans that, quite frankly, leave a lot to be desired. Are you going to be fairly compensated for your efforts? Will you be rewarded for assisting the members in your downline? These are important factors to take into consideration.
Another thing that you should look at is how easily the program can be duplicated by new people that you sign up. If it takes you 6 months to get up and running, do you think it’s going to be any easier for others? Focus on finding a program that is simple and allows everyone, including those who are brand new to the industry, a chance to get off to a quick start.
Lastly, will you have access to mentors who are already living the lifestyle that you ultimately want to achieve? Mentorship is one of the most important contributing factors to becoming successful, and a lack of it can spell disaster when it comes to a home based business.
Hopefully this short article has given you some food for thought when it comes to evaluating a network marketing company and it’s business opportunity. Remember that while a solid MLM program can make you filthy, stinking rich, there is always work that will need to be done to get to that point. There are no free rides in the network marketing industry, or any other for that matter.
You can find a real dream direct marketing mlm company and create tremendous wealth, but you can also wind up with the wrong company and have a horrendous experience. This article will help you choose the right direct marketing mlm company by explaining to you the types of companies out there and by teaching you how to find the right type of company needed to become very successful in this industry.
First it is important to understand that there are four types of direct marketing mlm companies on the market, lets put them into categories:
Category#1: These types of opportunities for lack of a better word and no sense beating around the bush are the scams, the schemes, the pyramid deals, etc! Basically ways to launder money between friends! Yes unfortunately there are bad people running around pretending to be real network marketers!
Once you know what to look for it is actually very easy to spot one of these scams. Here are two quick guidelines:
1. If the company tells you they are going to pay you to recruit someone this is a scam, turn around and run away very quickly! You Can Not get paid to recruit people that is illegal! The only time and I mean the only time you can get paid is when a product or service is provided!
2. If there is no product associated with the opportunity! There must be a real viable product and not just some made up hoax camouflaged to be a product. If the regulators deem that it is not a real viable product they will shut the company down quickly! So when in doubt stay clear!
Category #2: The 2nd type of direct marketing mlm opportunity or company you will find out there are the small party plan companies! We have all seen these. The little companies that recruit you to sell Candles, Tupperware and Kitchen-ware type of products around your kitchen table and your friends kitchen table. Basically a part-time retail business. Nothing wrong with these companies except it is very hard to create any serious income with them. They are more of a part time job type of deal where you could make a few hundred dollars a month if you are very good.
Category #3: The 3rd type of direct marketing mlm opportunity are the big guys! The literal giants of the network marketing, direct selling and mlm industry. These are the guys who have been around for 10, 20, 30 even 60 some years! They have an outstanding track record and do at least a billion dollars in sales each and every year in the direct marketing mlm industry. These are companies such as Amway, Shaklee, Mary Kay, Avon, Xango, Usana, Herbalife, etc! There is actually about 20 of these companies out there on the market!
Now I know what you are thinking, you are saying “thanks Rob, now I am set! All I have to do is go and join one of these companies and I am good to go!” NO NO NO!!! This is where 99% of the people who join the direct marketing mlm industry go wrong! A proven track record of success is actually NOT the way to go! I know that is hard to believe and goes against traditional business sense, however, I can virtually assure you that if you have ever been in this industry before or know of anyone who has and failed or did not have they success they desired, they have been involved with one of the three opportunities I just mentioned!
None of the three of these companies is where wealth is created!! These companies are not wealth creating opportunities anymore! In the direct marketing mlm industry these companies are now simply income generating opportunities, very much like going out and getting a part time job! No freedom there and no wealth to be earned there any longer.
You see with a little bit of research into the direct marketing mlm industry you will see that the wealth has ALWAYS been created in the first 5-10 years of each of the category 3 companies launch!
Makes sense doesn’t it? It is amazing how many people do not consider this!
So that leads to the next one….
Category #4: The 4th type of company really is the holy grail of the direct marketing mlm industry. This is where ALL the wealth is created in this industry. This is where all the incredible “rag to riches” stories in this industry come from. And they only come around about once every 5-10 years.
There are two criteria for a company to be considered a category 4 company:
1. The company must still be in its early stages and have not have hit its exponential growth curb to become one of the 3rd type of companies or one of the giants! This window is typically within the first 5-10 years of launch.
2. The company must have everything in place that the category 3 companies had in place when they launched! You see if you go back and do some homework into this industry you will notice that all the successful companies or the category 3 companies all had certain primary criteria in place at launch!
Here are the primary criteria:
The Company Has Just Launched (first 10 years)
A Sexy Product Story (New Revolutionary Idea)
A Breakthrough Innovation in Comp Plan Design.
A Strong Leadership Line With Documented Success
Strong Financial Backing
International Opportunity (Global)
A Experienced Management Team
That is gang, if you take the time to do your research, instead of falling for the marketing hype that companies spew, you will find the category 4 company in the direct marketing mlm industry. It will happen. Simply make sure that the company you are looking at has ALL of the criteria above in place and you stand a good chance of finding the direct marketing mlm company that will help you create serious wealth & freedom in this incredible industry!
