Network Marketing = Slacking Off, Getting Rich Quick, While Others Do YOUR Work!?

 Hey what’s going on? Landon Stewart here. This is actually my very first article that I have written directly for the BetterNetworker. I can honestly say that I am excited just to be in the presence of such great marketers. 

I must have been living under a rock for the past 2 years to never hear about the BetterNetworker. I might have heard of it, but I sometimes have the problem of hearing one thing in one ear, and having it shoot right out through the other.
 
But hey, better late than never right?
 
I thought for my first article here I would just share my biggest pet peeve of network marketing.
 
It’s simply just a little ad that you see every once in a while. You might have noticed it, but maybe not.
 
It’s the google adwords ad that goes along like this:
 
[Company name]
Don’t worry about working
We do all of the sponsoring for you
 
Now that ad above is not word for word of course. That third line might even be a bit long, but it really has the right concept.
 
There are so many network marketers that buy into this BS, yet we are surprised that 95% fail.
 
They do a quick search on google, see this little ad on the side, and get a nice tingly feeling in their stomach and bam before they know it another 300 bucks down the drain.
 
How many times does a person have to blow their money on some idiot (pardon my language) claiming to be the next network marketing god, before they realize hey no one is ever going to do all of my work for me. I might actually have to do something for myself.
 
I heard a quote that either Mike Dillard or Mark Weiser say once, and I think they even quoted it from somebody else, but I cannot remember the name, “You will continue to be unsuccessful as long as you rely on others to make you successful.”
 
I don’t know how many times a day I get the email “ Hey Landon how can I get up to six figures by the end of next year only putting in ten hours a week?”
 
I honestly do not want to offend anyone here. If this you and you can only devote ten hours a week to your network marketing business, then I apologize.
 
But look at me I am sitting here working my butt off every single day, and you want me to get you great results putting in less than half of the work?
 
I mean maybe I just don’t have the magic touch. Maybe I am the only one that has to work my butt of to get results. Maybe you don’t necessarily have to put in as much work to get the same return.
 
All I know is that if you are not willing to work as hard as I am working, do not expect to get what I am getting.
 
I honestly have no clue how to even reply to that email.
 
So I say the only thing that I can think of that might bring some quick results: go play the lottery.
 
As for the person making the ad promising the innocent network marketer that he can join up and he will not have any work to do, shame on you.
 
And shame on the innocent network marketer for believing him.
 
There is no magic success button.
 
I apologize for the aggressive tone, but the more I got to talking the angrier I got. I would like to hear some opinions on this article.
 
If you disagree you can tell me about it.
 
If you agree make sure you tell me about it.
