MLM Odyssey-”What’s Marketing Got to Do with It?”

I started working on the internet on July 8, 2008, four weeks after I moved to Suffolk Virginia. I purchased a “travel store” which came with a website and a back office. The website fee was $59.95 per month. If you signed up three people then your website would be FREE. The hype surrounding this business was in the compensation plan and the exotic travel locations at a reduced rate for you and your family. Yes, they had a training module, but one had to to get family and friends to sign up for this opportunity. Hence, I asked family and friends via phone calls, letters, e-mail, fax, etc. Not one signed up.

So living in a city in which I new no one, I had to find a way to market this product. My upline was friendly, but of no assistance whatsoever. Their solution was to cold call leads that you purchased. They even called some leads that I had from my days of working ten hours per day, but that’s another story. I endured for several months. I did earn some money – $80.80! But to get this commission I had to write the company telling them that I was going to start a letter campaign against them for non-payment, a breach of their contract. I received the check and deposited it quickly.

The tax deductions were all good for this first attempt at earning money via an online MLM. The next part of this odyssey is concerned with finding a legitimate business on the internet. Stay tuned.
