I use to ask myself that question. I joined a MLM a few years back thinking that I got the perfect opportunity that what I had everyone needed it and wanted. WRONG!
People don't care about your opportunity!, they just don't. Nobody jumps out of the bed saying "lets get a MLM business today" no one does that. People don't care about your opportunity!
Really!
I had met people that a soon as I say hello to them they come and say "I have great opportunity that I know you will like to hear about. So simple that a monkey can do it" than they go on and on. I dislike so much when people come and puke on me this way.
Yup, they puke on me
You must understand that the marketing rules of network marketing have changed. If you are not providing people with value, with information on how to do this or that, people will simply not buy from you.
Don't get me wrong there are people online right now willing to join or buy what you have. But they are waiting on someone who can teach them how is done. As a matter of fact people don't join businesses they join people that can hold their hands and show them the way.
For Example:
I'm looking to learn how to ride a motorcycle because I'm planning to buy one. Than I do some research and I found 2 dealers offering motorcycle classes, in dealer (A) the sales person was pushy talking about how good the sale are doing how great the specials that they are running.
But they really are offering the best price in town, while the other dealer (B) YOU are offering me the same classes for FREE but the prices are not as good as dealer (A).
I decided to go with you, and you took me by the hand and taught me everything that I needed to know and even gave me a manual on how to do motorcycle maintenance all this for free no cost what so ever.
The time comes I'm ready to buy my motorcycle who you think I will buy from?
1) Dealer (A) The Best Price In Town.
2) Dealer (B) YOU! That Gave Me FREE Classes, But Prices Are Not As Good As Dealer (A)
3) I save My Money and Don't Buy My Motorcycle That I Always Wanted.
4) None of The Above
If you picked answer number 2 you are correct. Why pay more? Because you gave me value you showed me the how to, you never asked me to buy from you. Now I feel that I owe it to you. That's how Network Marketing works mixed with Attraction Marketing.
If you are not implementing techniques like this one in your business you are leaving money on the table and sadly you will be another one that shortly will join the list of the 97% of network marketing owners that fail.
Sorry but is the reality!
If you look good in this forum you will learn many Attraction Marketing techniques. This is just one of many.
You must learn to generate traffic and turn the traffic into leads and eventually into prospects create a system.

People only want information and not preaching or hard selling. It will make them drift further.
Actually, most online businesses work in this way. Preaching or hard selling will not help at all.

Well said, Franklin.
The trend in online marketing has recently started to reflect your observations. Marketers are starting to 'move the free line' and give away quality information in return for contact details.
I think this is a great thing for two reasons:
1) the receiver of the information (hopefully) gets quality content at no charge to help them in whatever topic they are inquiring.
2) the marketer is seen as a helpful resource by that person, which makes the relationship-building that comes later much easier to accomplish.
Win/win for both involved - a beautiful thing...
Best,

If you can show people how to get rid of debt with network marketing and improve their lives, then you will get a few to join you.
This business is a numbers game and if you can work with a few key legs and they will go out there and build their own team, then you will succeed.
Not everyone will join you but let's say that out of 100 people that you speak to, maybe 10-20 will see the big picture and build a large team too.

Franklin: You must learn to generate traffic and turn the traffic into leads and eventually into prospects create a system.
Yes, Marketing steadily and consistently where you generate quality traffic to your website/business from people looking for an opportunity will help you be successful.
Most people fail to follow the steady and consistent part, and thus stay in the same ole' situation.
Residual income with network marketing has great powerful life changing potential, this is why so many go after it. More would see better results if they learned to market online and offline and not give up.

Interesting,
I would have to agree with your example, if I backed up ten years, but in todays economic collapse, deep recession, it all comes down to price, why else is the internet exploding with online stores and lowest price search sites, because most people only care about low prices now, not the nice salesperson, or fancy store, or free samples, it is now a bottom line world as I see it.
Yes, being nice, not hammering people over the head with a hard sale pitch is still appreciated by many, but if your example of free classes was to hold up, that would only apply to those newbies who don't know how to ride a motorcyle, so the market attraction would be reduced significantly given most people who purchase motorcyles for the first time is small, as example.
We are entering an age of frugality, people are hurting financially, and I have researched hundreds of businesses over the years, and in the end, price wins when equal product or quality is involved. A perfect example is with name brand products, why would you pay more than you have to? I shop lowest prices, period, and so do millions of others who are financially pressed in this economy and look at value first and foremost when shopping. Times, they are a changin. lol
Success to all,

I tell people all the time, if you can have the same attitude (Hugely motivated) like you had when you got started, you will succeed.
If you stay consistent and persistent even though things don't seem to move forward for you, just keep going and going and things will turn out for you positively and for the better.
Always focus on the PRIZE and not the price that you need to pay.
