Hi I am also out of ideas. I am involved in a new very innovative Health and Wellness MLM. I have a great upline. They have even flown in from out of state to do presentations. My problem is getting people interested enough to show up. I have found, the few people I have spoken with, don't fully understand the product because it is cutting edge technology. So I am not sure how to reach out to a more target audience. I have pretty much exausted my warm list.

Hi Marisa,

I'm only new to MLM so I don't have a lot of experience in that area. I do know this. I do not want to feel the pressure to hound people who are not interested in something to try to make some sales and get sign-ups. That can only be depressing and ruin relationships in my opinion.

I decided to take a different approach. I am building a website based on a niche topic that deals with the problems people face that our particular products address. That way, I am going to be dealing with people who are already looking for what I am offering even though they don't know what it is yet.

I believe it will be a lot easier to 'sell' products to those people as they are already a warm market. I don't feel the pressure of convincing my family and friends. I'd rather have people coming to me, rather than me trying to find them. Does that make sense?

I'm still in the early stages of building my site (the parasite one), but I think it is going to be the best thing for me in the long run. Besides that, I am not limited to only making money from my MLM but there are other ways I can monetize through my site. Should anything ever happen with my MLM company, I still have my business in tact. I can simply find another quality product that meets the same needs and swap it out.

I hope that gives you some food for thought.
Blessings,
Angie

You have gotten some excellent tips Marisa - I know what you are talking about. After trying several different things and not being very successful at it, I didn't tell very many people when I got back into it what I was doing. There are many of my close friends that have no idea what I do from home.

Isn''t it crazy that the folks we would like to be most supportive are the ones that are the most difficult to discuss our businesses with? Crazy! And I'm not sure if it all comes from their desire not to see us get hurt. It may be a bit of jealousy that we are trying to live our dreams!

I wasn't (and I don't think Viola was) really referring to our friends and family being supportive. Mine is completely supportive and not jealous that I can tell.

I was more referring to us trying to 'sell' the business and the products to them. That's what tends to leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth more often than not.
