MLM v Top Tier Direct Sales - Apples to Oranges

If you've been around the world of MLM home business for any time at all, there is no doubt you've heard about something called Get Paid Today or G.P.T. This relatively new home business model has quietly been taking the Online home business world by storm. Having been around for the better part of 5 years now, Get Paid Today is phrase designed to describe exactly what this new business model does. What G.P.T. is really all about are the new "Top Tier" business opportunities now available in the home business arena. What is a "Top Tier" business opportunity and will it work for you? Let's take a look.

First off, a "Top Tier" business opportunity is just that, it's the top of the food chain when it comes to Online home business. The King of the Jungle, the creme de la creme. These businesses are characterized by a "Two-Up" compensation plan that is tied to a product or service which is typically retailed in the $1,500 - $2,000 range. They pay out $1,000 or more with a lump sum, up-front commission payment instead of a small, long-term, residual payout, which is typical of most MLM companies.

Because of the higher start-up costs, Top Tier businesses typically attract a much higher caliber person who is much more serious about building a successful Online home business. This is one reason individuals within Top Tier organizations will typically experience more financial success than those in a zero or low cost start-up MLM business. When you make a $1,000 commission, it's like you're getting paid a year's worth of residuals up front on day one with a product purchase, whether the new rep goes on to build a business or not.

Many who have objected to this business model have sited the initial start-up costs to be too expensive. Are they? Upon examination, top tier businesses are actually less expensive than traditional supplement based MLM. Here, I'll explain. The average start-up cost and monthly auto-ship order for a traditional MLM is about $200. That comes out to $2500+ per year when you factor in taxes and shipping costs.

A Top Tier program is usually a one time expense. That's it. A one time payment and you're in business. By the time you hit your third year with a traditional MLM, you've spent over $7,500 on vitamins or juice you could have purchased at your local store for at least a 70% savings. Wow, that means if you've been in MLM for seven years now, you've personally spent over $17,500 on products. Have you even made that much money back from all the work you've put into building that down-line?

So you see, had you spent all those years in a Top Tier program, working with other professionals who can appreciate what it means to invest in their business, you would have only spent the initial average start-up amount of $1,500. That's it. And the odds are, within Top Tier organizations, after seven years, you would have made at least 2 sales, don't you think? You see, just two sales would have made you more money than you initially invested and you could have saved a bundle on your vitamins and juice.
