in The Traps To Avoid In Finding A Hot Product on John Cow dot COM
Great post - also a good idea to check out the niche and subniches using Google Trends. (1 of about 50 million things one can do when researching affiliate programs!)

in Inter-Network Marketing - The New Revolution Turning Failure On It’s Head on John Cow dot COM
I just couldn't resist replying to this...
For the past few years, I've been quietly making hundreds of thousands of dollars in Network Marketing using nothing but the Internet. No meetings. No traveling. Never having to talk to friends, family, or people standing in the business section at a bookstore (I get prospected often when I go to Borders or Barnes and Noble and see people sitting with others doing a one-on-one presentation - so glad I never had to do that).
I've been living a lifestyle that would never have been possible if it wasn't for Network Marketing and using methods and techniques I've created over the years. I feel very fortunate.
There's a lot of things I've done over the years using different pen names so my steps could never be traced which allowed me to earn hundreds of thousands (should hit one million this year or at least be very close to it) in Network Marketing.
And I have a MAJOR bone to pick with several "trainers" out there.
Recently, a "trainer" who teaches people how to build their MLM business on the Internet sent out an email to his entire list to recruit everyone into a new company he's jumped into.
Seeing someone do that is what I call, "The Instant Reputation Killer".
Think about it - he provides training. If you buy his training materials and get something out of it, you'll share it with your downline, who will in turn share it with theirs. And why not, there's an affiliate program attached to it, so you're compensated.
However, I've been watching a few of the so called, "trainers" out there for quite some time. I wondered how much they actually valued their reputation. I wondered if greed would get the best of them. And right now, they are all falling like a pile of bricks into the world of greed.
I feel so bad for those who purchased his training because I'm sure they shared his sites with most, if not everyone in their downline.
Then one day, he sends an email about a new company he's decided to join and that he's looking for a few people to work with... and of course provides some compelling offers.
Before you know it, the downline you worked so hard to build in the company you're in have all jumped ship and are now with him and the company he's associated with.
Overnight your business is gone.
I've seen this happen time and time again. And it happened to me ONCE many years ago (lost a few thousand people in my organization), and I've been very careful ever since.
There is SO much to this.
There's so much about building a Network Marketing business on the Internet that is not being taught out there - mostly because the methods I've created and used are unknown. And there's so much when it comes down to the training - and who you can trust... because if you choose the wrong trainer and refer your downline to them or their products, you could lose everything you've worked so hard for.
I've felt a strong calling.
I've fought the calling for the past two years. It's telling me NOT to be associated with a Network Marketing company ever again and launch a professional company teaching people the methods I've used over the last several years to become financially free. It's something that I think about each and every day. I talk to my wife about it at least one a day. And although I know I need to make a decision soon, it'll be one of the toughest decisions of my life.
Leave a six-figure income that comes in working an hour a week (or less) and start a business that would require 80+ hours of work a week (or more) to get up and running.
However, seeing people get burned.... seeing people run around in circles... seeing people only stay in other companies for 3 months because they just don't get it... is really starting to get to me.
I haven't made any final decisions yet... but over the last few months I've begun to start the preparations, just in case I decide to pull the trigger. Bottom line, be careful who you not only learn from, but be careful who you refer people in your downline to learn from. It's best for many, many reasons for the person or company who's hosting the training not to be involved in another company - and promises never to be involved in a Network Marketing company as a distributor.
So time will tell. I'll be making my decision by the end of this month whether or not to pull the trigger on launching something that would put the entire MLM industry on it's head. Or, I can continue to enjoy the quiet and comfortable lifestyle I've created for myself. We shall see...
