Each week, over 100,000 people start out in their own mlm home based business. It is a reduced cost, low risk, high reward model proven to work.

Firstly, if someone tells you it's straightforward, they have honestly forgotten about the tedious hours they put in at the start. Perhaps it's easy now, but there are critical factors you need to take into consideration before you write a personal check or sign on the dotted line.

Bear in mind that there are less than 30 mlm companies which have been in operation for over 10 years. There is nothing wrong with the business model, just that all those firms that failed simply did not set things up right.

There are 2 important reasons why these firms folded. First, their products were not as desirable as they suspected they might be or not profitable enough, or 2nd, their compensation payouts were minimal.

When you are looking to join an mlm home based business, the compensation plan is the 1st and most critical thing you should look at. Raise questions and ask what system they use. There are plenty of complicated systems out there, so make sure you understand what you are getting into.

Then look at the product, is it well advertised? Is it something most would want, that they cannot easily get in a store, is it good quality and is it enduring? Will consumers desire this in 5 years time? If they don't, then where will you be?

If you have a company in mind, get on forums and find other folks to talk to who work for that company. You'll have to look out for those who've failed though, the attrition rate is very high in any mlm business. Mainly because people think they're going to make money from the first day, or they don't put in any effort.

Building a lucrative home based mlm business takes time, ability and a major commitment. So doing your required research before you invest your hard earned cash is a good step down the right path.

You should also outline a sales and selling plan to promote both the product and the venture, before you enroll, seriously. Because the only real way you may ever make any money is via selling the company products, services and recruiting others to do the same.

Do you have any idea what you intend to do to initiate a regular stream of highly interested prospects who will have a look at your wares? Will you build a website and market online? How are you going to drive traffic? Do you plan to run adverts or participate in a company or team bankrolled advertising co-op? What kind of budget do you have to invest into your business? What kind of coaching, tools and information will you make available to your new team members?

Hard questions that all demand a well thought out answer. As the difference that makes the most significant difference between people who make cash with their mlm home based business and those who don't, all reduces down to sales and promoting.
