That’s a great question……..

It’s becoming harder and harder to advertise as a distributor in a networking business and that trend will only continue to grow in the coming years. 

Companies find themselves between a rock and a hard place.  On one hand, they understand the importance of advertising, and want you to do as much as possible.

Believe me…

There’s nothing they’d like to see more than a market flooded with distributor placed ads promoting their products and opportunity. On the other hand, attorney’s who are more than aware of the FTC sharks that are constantly circling handcuffs them and are just waiting for someone to screw up so they can dive in for the feast.

As the legal risks continue to rise, the more strict parent companies must get with their advertising policies.

This is an inevitable outcome. Think about it… 95% of distributors in a network marketing company have no real experience as a business owner or professional advertiser.

They have no idea what’s within the law and what’s not.

Income Disclaimer? Terms Of Use? Privacy Policies? What are those?

So you take an eager group of people with ZERO education and little sense of personal liability, and you let them loose onto the biggest communications platform in the history of mankind… The Internet.

People end up placing stupid ads, and making insane claims, all in the name of their beloved parent company.

The Gov shows up a few weeks later, knocks on their door, and says, “clean up your act or we’ll shut you down”. And just like that, the ability for distributors to use advertisements with any information about the parent company at all is taken away.

You can’t blame corporate. They’re just doing what they must in order to stay in business. This will only get worse and it’s a shame.

Personally, I can’t stand government intervention into a capitalist market. They walk into a market under the excuse of protecting the “ignorant consumer” from the evil savvy marketers.

“Your testimonials are too persuasive which caused Mary to spend her last $50 on your product and now she can’t pay her cable bill. You need to remove those testimonials and replace them with something stale, boring, and un-compelling”.

Excuse my 3^rd grade verbiage here, but that’s retarded.

America is quickly becoming a country where no one takes personal responsibility for anything in their lives.

If there’s a problem, you go crying to the government who will gladly take your side in exchange for a vote, or a hefty donation during election time.

The weak whine the loudest, which is heard by the politicians who just want to keep their job, so policies are changed to cater to the whiners which means that this entire country is slowly turning into one big pile of finger-pointing meat puppets who cry for their bottle until someone else sticks it in their mouth for them. 

Can you tell I’m a little jaded by this trend? So as far as your networking business is concerned, what are you going to do about it?

Well that’s the million-dollar question isn’t it? I have to be honest. There is no right or wrong answer. You will define your own solution depending upon your personal views and opinions.

I found mine two years ago, and though I’m probably biased, I believe it to be the strongest.  Why?

Well in less than two years it allowed me to go from waiting tables to “millionaire” by the age of 29, and it is the only solution that is completely immune to any and all market changes.

It is, in a word… “Timeless”. And it’s very simple really… You don’t just build a networking opportunity because there’s no real value or equity there.

I hope you realize that.

When you build a business opportunity, you’re not building a real business at all because you don’t own any part of it.

You don’t own the product. You don’t own the company, and you don’t own your downline.

You are an independent distributor that can be let go at the owner’s discretion.  Building a business opportunity is fine, but it shouldn’t “BE” your business. It should only be a part of your business.It needs to be focused and centered around you and your name…. 

What I like to call, “You Inc”, because the equity you build in your name, your reputation, and your relationships is priceless because it can never be taken away from you.

When you build a following of people, and a business around “you” instead of your company, your income will never be at the mercy of other distributors, market changes, competition, or company owners again.

That’s the key to dealing with the growing limitations when it comes to advertising your company. You don’t advertise IT… You advertise YOU.

Sponsoring distributors becomes effortless, building a downline can be done in days, and making $10,000, $20,000, or even $100,000 in a single day is as simple as writing an email.

That’s how you build a real business in the networking industry today.
