How Much Money Do You Make I want to talk about something I’ve seen pop up a few times over the last couple of years when I’ve joined different MLM companies. And that is, when you’re going out to sponsor, how do you answer the question, when prospects ask, ‘Well, how much money do you make?’ There are a couple of different ways to answer this. I’ve heard some of the top marketers say, which I agree with, you’re not going to use numbers. You can just say, ‘Well, I’m just starting. However, people in my upline and other members I know who have been in this business for a while, are making a decent income. And some have even left their fulltime jobs to do this business full time.’ So, that’s one way to generally answer the question.

How Much Money Do You Make

I want to talk about something I’ve seen pop up a few times over the last couple of yearswhen I’ve joined different MLM companies. And that is, when you’re going out to sponsor,how do you answer the question, when prospects ask, ‘Well, how much money do youmake?’

There are a couple of different ways to answer this. I’ve heard some of the top marketerssay, which I agree with, you’re not going to use numbers. You can just say, ‘Well, I’m juststarting. However, people in my upline and other members I know who have been in thisbusiness for a while, are making a decent income. And some have even left their full­timejobs to do this business full time.’

So, that’s one way to generally answer the question.

And the reason why you want to take that stance, why you would want to reply to them thatway is because you can never make a guarantee that they’re going to do what other peopleare doing, or even that you’re going to do what other people are doing.

You see these people who are advertising their business opportunities as, ‘You can make$1000 in X amount of time,’ and ‘You CAN and it’s guaranteed,’ etc.

Nobody can guarantee that the way one individual is going to market their business is goingto be exactly the same way another individual is going to market their business.

What you earn is going to be based on what you put into your business.

So when you’re going out and marketing, don’t use figures. Don’t blast, ‘Look how much I’mmaking!’ with PayPal screenshots and such.

You don’t need to tell anybody what you’re making, because what that does is give the wrongidea, that people out there are going to think they can make the same thing and make it reallyquick.

And then if they don’t, they’re going to drop out of the business because they’re not going tobe happy if they’re not making money.

So when you’re looking to build your team, you need to target people who are in the propermindset of ‘I’m not just going to try this and see if I can make money with it.’ They’re going tothink, ‘I’m looking for a business that is reputable, and I’m willing to put the time and effort

into it and eventually the money to invest into it, in order to make it work for me.’

That’s my tip. If you’re marketing and blasting your PayPal and Clickbank screenshotsonline, you are setting yourself up for people who are going to sign up with you who that areautomatically going to think that they’re going to do the same thing.

And that’s not going to happen, because even in duplication, if you are doing what yoursponsor’s doing, you can’t guarantee that everybody that you bring into the business is goingto do what you’re doing, which is what your upline is doing.

It’s like the old saying, ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.’ You cantell your new members every step that’s outlined and how you work it, but unless they havethe mindset to put in the effort and be patient and take the time to work the program and findwhat works for them, they’re not going to make money.

So just keep that in mind in your marketing efforts. Don’t make claims that you can make thisamount of money and it’s guaranteed, because nobody can guarantee that.

The only people who can guarantee that is if you go to a company, get hired, sign off all yourtime and your hours and life to this company to have a guaranteed paycheck at the end ofthe week.

You have to get out of the employee mindset when you’re marketing.

And if you’re out there looking for an opportunity, you have to get your mindset out of makingmoney fast. The only way you can make money fast is to set up a yard sale and sell yourstuff.

Even if you go get a J.O.B., you’re going to have to wait two weeks, sometimes three weeks,before you even get a paycheck.

But for people who are in MLM or any kind of business, don’t go out there bragging abouthow much money you can make. Don’t be sticking dollar signs in front of all your ads. It’s aturn off.

And for people who are looking for an opportunity, don’t believe the hype. The advertisers

may have made that amount of money in that amount of time, but you don’t know the behind­the­scenes, what money did they have to invest. Did they have other people working forthem to do things for them?

So keep that in mind, especially if you’re new in a network marketing business or if you’relooking for a new opportunity, don’t believe the hype. Do your own due diligence. Look intothe company, see how long it’s been around, talk to different people who are in the company,and at the same time, keep an open mind that you’re going to have to work to build yourbusiness up.

You’re going to have to work, and it’s not going to happen in a month, it’s not going tohappen in two months. It may take you six months to a year, depending on what you’re willingto invest and how aggressive you are.
