According to the market research team at www.global-ads.nl anyone who has been exposed to MLM business opportunities realises after a time that over 80% of MLM affiliates should not be
involved in this kind of business. Although the MLM business principles are simple, over 80% of affiliates never achieve even partial success with their business building. Their
expectations are not met, and they end up either feeling that they have failed or that the MLM industry is one big scam. They feel that their up-line is profiting from their efforts.
The study reveals that reality is a two-sided coin, with the up-line feeling they have wasted valuable time and effort on coaching and training downline members who effectively do
nothing. Success in MLM ventures is achieved through network marketing, and an affiliate who does not actively apply network marketing, will simply not succeed.
In their study the market research team has identified two stereotype affiliates, the active affiliate and the passive affiliate.
In an MLM venture the ratio of active to passive affiliates is typically 20% to 80%. According to the survey results this ratio is closer to 90% passive and 10% active affiliates. So the
question arises if these 90% are involved in the right kind of business And if not, is there a more passive type of business for them The study came up with the following answers.
There are plenty of passive income opportunities, where the affiliate simply invests some money, and is promised a guaranteed daily or weekly return on this investment. Once again the
makeup of active versus passive affiliates is close to 10% versus 90%. But these opportunities are true scams, because they have no real product or service value. Provided there is an
incoming flow of investments, they are able to provide the early investors with the promised returns. This incoming flow of investments is created by the active affiliates, therefore the
passive affiliates are benefiting from their efforts. This is the down-line taking advantage of the up-line. As soon as the up-line lightens up on their efforts, these passive income
opportunities come to a sudden and grinding halt's8230; they are renowned for disappearing overnight and starting up again a few days later under a new name.
The market research team at www.global-ads.nl made an additional, interesting observation. The MLM industry is viewed by many people as being a scam, where up-line members take advantage
of down-line members. Evidence appears to indicate that the opposite may be true, that in reality it is the down-line members who are taking advantage of their up-line members. Any
partial success that has been experienced by passive business affiliates has come from the efforts of their up-line. The contribution of passive affiliates to their up-line members is
effectively zero.
And regarding the question "Which business scam is the right scam" the team is unanimous about their advice: "Passive income opportunities are without question real scams. They have no
intrinsic business value and are the modern day version of the chain letter scams. MLM business ventures are a mixture of scams and genuine business opportunities, which is why we are
actively involved with a business such as GDI."
