Let’s all admit it, part of the appeal when you first were considering getting involved in an online MLM business was that it was supposed to be EASY. Am I right? I know that was a major selling point for me.

The person (or people) who introduced you to the whole MLM thing made it seem like once you were in, that your business would practically build itself. Right? Buy some stuff, get into their downline, and not only would your business just magically grow — but they would practically be building it for you as they were loading up people in the downline below you.

What you quickly find out, though, is that it isn’t quite that easy. In fact, if you’re reading this article I am guessing that your online MLM business (and your downline) are not growing quite as you had hoped — and certainly are not growing on autopilot.

If it was that easy, then you would have millions of people signing up for an online MLM business turning into overnight millionaires. It doesn’t happen that way.

Does this mean that the opportunity itself — that deciding to invest in an online MLM business — was a mistake? No! In fact, I will be the first one to trumpet the proposition that they can be one of the best ways for an individual to go into business for themselves.

Even if you follow the directions your upline gives you for how to build your MLM business, though, you very likely will be frustrated with how slowly (if at all) that your business grows. That is because there are three keys to building a successful online MLM business that most people who start an MLM business don’t know and are never told.

Integrate these three things, however, and you will be surprised how your business growth will explode.  (more…)
