Can the Trump Network really live up to the hype? Is Buzzirk going to be able to deliver on all its promises? The typical MLM presentation leans heavily upon how much you can make and how much the compensation plan will pay out. That is all nice to know, but it isn't what you really need to know. A little due diligence early on will save you lots of headaches and lost money later. There are certain questions you must ask before you spend your first dime. The following list is a place to start, but certainly not all inclusive:

1. What is the product or service being sold?

2. Does it represent value to the consumer?

3. How much does it cost to join the company?

4. How much is the monthly requirement?

5. What type of compensation plan is used?

6. What marketing tools are provided?

7. What training and support are provided?

8. Does the company have a track record or is it a new start-up?

9. What is it about the company or its product that sets it apart from the competition?

10. Can the average person make money?

The fact that the product or service being offered shows up in the first question is no coincidence. This combined with the second question is a critical sorting point. If the product or service does not meet a timely market need or want and does not represent true value to the ultimate consumer, there is no point in even asking the remaining questions. Finding a good market niche is highly important to your potential success. The third and fourth questions are particularly relevant to today's economy. If the start up cost is excessive, you have just ruled out a large chunk of the population. If a company is truly going to have long term staying power, it has to be affordable for the "little guy". The monthly maintenance amount should start very low. The trick you have to look for is whether the amount stated is real dollars or based on an artificial amount frequently called Business Volume. A separately calculated volume amount means that the credit you receive for the sale is being reduced by anywhere from 10 to 40%. This then directly effects how many more sales you need to meet the qualification to be paid in whatever compensation plan the company is using.

You begin to see that you need to clear the smoke away to get a clear picture. If you do your homework, the good companies will quickly stand out from the not so good. We constantly evaluate companies and occasionally find some that pass initial muster and some that have passed the test of time.
