Why MLM is a Better Business Model:

You might be surprised to learn that MLM (multi-level marketing) is being taught in many MBA programs (although they often give it another name- relationship marketing, stakeholder marketing or social network marketing).

MLM has gone legitimate. From it’s unfortunate beginnings, when it was associated with pyramid schemes and get-rich-quick scams, distributed marketing (nothing like a new name!) has emerged as a tried and true method for low capitalization entrepreneurs to build their own thriving businesses.

Some of the successful long-term MLM companies are familiar names- Avon, Amway, Neways and others. Critics are left without a good answer when presented with these examples of the MLM business model working day-in and day-out, as steady as any blue-chip company on the NYSE.

What are they teaching MBAs about distributed marketing? Here are some of the advantages over traditional business models:

Low startup costs.

Financing a new business is a task no one enjoys. The hunt for a lender, initial loans and debt financing make most startups a partnership. The unwanted partner is the bank or venture capitalist who’s holding your paper. And this marriage isn’t going to end with a quickie divorce- either you pay the loan off or go bankrupt. When two out of three new ventures fail, you have to wonder at the courage it takes to put your house and future on the line for an idea.

None of this comes into play with MLM. The initial outlay is extremely low. The anxiety of working for your lender is eliminated. The usual setup is low to no inventory, no physical location (rental of commercial property is avoided) and no liability insurance. You get the tax advantages of any business without the overhead. Which brings up employees…

Low labor costs.

Traditional businesses hire, train, and eventually fire employees. The relationship is similar to the one we have with machines. You buy/rent a lawnmower, set it at it’s task and throw it away when it breaks. Is it any wonder most employees don’t like their jobs? They understand the fundamental flaw in the game; they sense it is rigged against them.

With MLM, the closest thing to employees is the down-line. But these people aren’t working for you so much as they are working for themselves. There is a future for them in creating and sustaining their own down-lines. And it’s commission sales. Income isn’t predicated on hours worked, but rather, on sales. There is an old saying that is still true, “You can’t overpay a guy working on commission.” The more your ‘employees’ produce, the more they make and the more you make. All without paying withholding taxes, liability insurance or medical benefits.

This joint success has been artificially mirrored by corporations who talk about ‘associates’. But that’s a fiction; none of those associates are ever going to own more than a tiny slice of the real profit pie. Not so in MLM. The only real way for an up-line to succeed is if their down-line succeeds. Shared profits are built into the system and provide the incentive that is missing from a 9-to-5 job.

The pacing advantage.

When you work a normal job or own a regular business time is a commodity in short supply. There is always pressure to meet some deadline and beat the clock. Without the time to move thoughtfully, we are put under a great deal of stress and we make mistakes. Business doesn’t have to be this way. By easing into an MLM gradually, new members set their own pace. Sure, it can be hustle and bustle if that suits your personality- but it doesn’t have to be. You can’t overstate the benefits of working because you want to, instead of because you have to.

“But,” critics argue, “You don’t know how much your paycheck will be every week.”

My favorite answer to this is: “Yes, but I can’t imagine how you live knowing what your paycheck will be every week.”

It’s simple. A wage slave makes the same amount every week. Stability is the reward. But stability is also a prison. They are never going to have a series of good weeks while their business grows into a series of good years. Since most MLMers transition from a weekly paycheck job by developing their own down-line, the pressure is minimal. It is possible to have your cake and eat it too.

Without the need to make loan payments or meet a sales quota, MLMers can focus on quality instead of quantity. Sure, sales matter, but attitude and motivation matter more. You have the luxury of time. Time to try out new ideas and methods, time to learn and grow, and time to network with peers.

Available support.

Another advantage of MLM is the support structure. Small businesses are usually started on a sink or swim basis. There’s a spirit of competition and survival of the fittest right away. The best you can do with a brick and mortar operation is buy a franchise- but even then you are trading your freedom for any tips and tricks they pass along. With MLM the paradigm is different. Since your up-line depends on your sales and growth, they are more than willing to mentor new members.

By getting real-time advise and direction, new marketers can stay on-trend, taking advantage of other members’ adroit moves and avoiding their mistakes. This is especially valuable when marketing on the Internet, where fast adaptation is quickly rewarded. You can’t wait for some technique to make its way into a book or a lecture; you need the info now, while it can still do you the most good.

Beyond this, mentoring helps you establish the essentials. There’s a huge amount of business knowledge available to tap into. Affiliate marketing, ezine and forum marketing, network marketing and a host of other techniques for growing a solid and productive down-line are there for the taking.

Instead of the trade secrets model found in the rest of the business world, you find helpful teachers who’s profits are tied directly to yours. Compare this with bosses and managers whose sole function is to keep your wage as low as possible. The contrast is apparent and makes you wonder why anyone would take a salaried job.

Financial freedom

In truth, this is the reason most people get into MLM. They recognize how limiting their current employment situation really is. MLM is full of examples of people who have made outrageous sums and live exotic lifestyles.

What isn’t as well reported are the folks that make it less than super-rich. That’s enough for most of us- a steady source of income to augment and eventually free us from the daily working grind. What MLM offers us is a future worth having. We don’t have to be ultra-rich (although that would be nice) we just want a chance to grow out of the current rut we are stuck in.

We see that the time we have to sell an employer is limited. It is limited in amount and it is limited in how much we can get per hour. The beauty of MLM is that my efforts today do not die away as tomorrow dawns. A down-line is like a garden, you plant seeds, you water and weed a bit, but mostly you sit back and let nature take its course. And then you reap the benefits of a harvest that grew up while you were doing other things.

By leveraging my time- in essence multiplying it- I am freed from the inherent limits. Something I do today will be paying me for years to come. If I repeat the same process tomorrow, I can add more and more to my storehouse. This is the real reason MLM works, this ability to keep yesterday’s efforts alive and well. And it’s something you won’t find in a traditional job.

health insurance


are many factors that affect what the health insurance company will charge you. Perhaps it would be helpful to you to learn about those factors, so that you can understand the quotes you are getting.

Whatever you do, please work with an experienced agent. He can explain how this works and help you to understand the different terms and how the factors affect your quote. There is no cost to you to use a good agent and he can make the shopping experience less stressful.

Let’s go through the different factors now:

Age: As you might guess, the younger you are, the less you have to pay for health insurance. Why? Because generally speaking, younger people are healthier than older people. As we age, different and various illnesses show up.

Perhaps you are eating too well and you develop type 2 diabetes. Maybe you don’t get the exercise you should. Certainly, you will agree, that younger people are usually healthier than older people.

Gender: Males are much less complicated than women. This is said, tongue in cheek, but you might also agree. Just take the annual physical for example. A woman needs an OBGYN exam, a mamagram, pap smear along with all the other blood tests to determine if she is well. Men usually will have blood tests and a cancer screening PSA test.

Psychologically, women tend to use medical services much more than men, also. A typical man feels invulnerable and won’t go to the doctor unless he is really sick. I know, this is generalization, but it is frequently true!

Health history: How healthy have you been? Are you the right weight for your height and gender? Have you developed a condition such as elevated blood pressure or elevated cholesterol? Our human body is extremely complex and so many things can go wrong.

Healthy individuals will get a lower premium quote because the health insurance company in NC extrapolates your health into the future. That means, a healthy person will likely remain healthy. A person with many health challenges, will have those challenges or more in the future.

Exercise: People who exercise typically have fewer problems with their weight. They have less susceptibility to insulin resistance – type 2 diabetes. They have fewer health problems of any kind.

The recommended minimum amount of exercise for Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina is twenty minutes of exercise for three times per week. Obviously, you can exercise more than this, but if you do at leas this amount, it will be beneficial.

Whether already insured: If you have been covered by a health plan for years, the new insurance company interested in insuring you is less worried.

Certainly, if you have been under a doctor’s care, it is less likely that you will develop an undiagnosed condition that the new insurance company would be responsible for.

Perhaps the most difficult person to insure is one who has never had a family doctor. He may think that he is very healthy because he has not needed to see a medical person.

However, there may be some condition that has been developing over the years that he is unaware of. That is why health insurance companies are happier if they need to insure someone who has had continual health coverage.

Type of plan chosen: If you choose a relatively new type of plan called a high deductible health plan, and use it in conjunction with a health savings account, you will definitely save money.

The HSA type plan costs you less each month in premium amount. It costs about $60 for a doctor sick visit, but you are likely to save thousands of dollars each year on premiums.

In addition, if you have a high deductible health plan, you can open up a health savings account at your local bank.

Money that you deposit into your health savings account can be used for any medical expense…and importantly, that money is not taxed! Money that escapes taxation saves you about 40%.

By the way, if you don’t spend all your savings in any year, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t go away like in a flexible spending account. This savings money is yours, like an IRA, and it will be there to help you pay your medical expenses. At the age 65, you can take the money out of your account and use it for anything you’d like…finally though, you will have to pay taxes on the money.

If you spend your health savings account on qualified medical expenses, you will not have to pay income tax on this money. Great sound to that eh?

Deductible chosen: If you choose a high deductible plan, the insurance provider will not charge you as much of a penalty, called a “rate up”.

A rate up is extra premium that that require because you may be on high blood pressure medicine, for example. That rate up takes into consideration that you will need medication for the rest of your life, most likely.

If you choose a high deductible plan, they calculate that you are willing to take on more risk. Therefore, the insurance company doesn’t have to charge you as much per month. If you are looking to save money, choose a higher deductible plan.

Insurance company: The insurance company that you choose is very important in how you will be charged. Some insurance providers have many subscribers in the state and consequently, they can spread the risk over many, many people.

As an example, BCBSNC, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina insures about 90% of the people in NC. Consequently, their rates are more stable and they aren’t affected by pockets of the state that my turn up to be less healthy.

The insurance company is important in being able to see the doctor of your choice and go to whichever hospital you need to go to.

Because an insurance company has great penetration in a state, means that virtually all the doctors and all the hospitals will participate as a health provider. That’s good for you because you have better choices.

Health Insurance Agent: A good agent who specializes in health insurance can provide you with a depth of knowledge about the plans that might fit you best. Another way the agent can help is interpreting how to answer the questions.

Many times, people read something into the question that isn’t there, and answer it improperly. You don’t want to answer a question that wasn’t asked. Ask your agent his opinion about what it means. The agent is paid a commission by the insurance company – not the insured. It is advisable to use in insurance agent who has specialized.

Are there other factors that you think I should have listed here? Have you had an experience that would tend to disagree with what I have written? Was this article helpful? Let me know.



Understanding health insurance isn’t easy because of the confusing terms and concepts. It just takes a little concentration and you will find that it makes sense. Learn about health insurance plans at RichDayHealthPlans.com/blog Get quotes on North Carolina Plans at RichDayHealthPlans.com

business bankruptcy


Bankruptcy is a concept that is common to many people all over the world. It refers to a situation where a person or a business is unable to make regular and constant payments to their creditors. This is mostly as a result of having more liabilities than assets and poor spending habits. The law recognizes the fact that some people may find themselves in such a scenario.

To protect you from the wrath of angry creditors who may be out to recoup what you owe them, the law gives provision for people to file for bankruptcy. This is to say that you are allowed to file a petition in court, explaining your current financial position and stating why you are unable to meet your financial obligations.

Once this is done, your creditors will be notified and their actions against you in an effort to recoup whats theirs will be stopped. In many states, the bankruptcy law falls into different chapters. You are at an advantage if you get to understand what is required under each chapter. This way, you will know which one suits you best if and when need to file for insolvency arises.

Just like there are two sides to a coin, insolvency has both its positive and negative effects. On the positive side, it gives you a break from being harassed by creditors every so often. In fact, if all goes well for you, you could eventually have most of your debts canceled. On the bad side, insolvency paints a bad image of you to potential business partners, creditors as well as employers.

With the introduction of the method of getting free insurance quotes for motor vehicles on the internet, this has become a hassle-free method for anyone making a comparison about the best insurance price to them.

While doing this research on the internet, you can have a look at the rates of the company, the coverage they are offering, other relevant information on deductions, and also the discounts on offer. Insurance and premium rates for motor insurance will always differ among different companies, and there will invariably be some variations in the plans. So it is prudent to make a comparison among the rates of various companies.

It goes without saying that if insurance for your car already exists, then you may prefer to stay with that company, but if at the time of renewal of the policy, there exists a policy of another company offering cheaper rates, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t consider switching. Insurance rates are subject to constant change, so ensure that you have latest quotes.

A few insurers also consider the report of the car’s credit rating for fixing the rate of insurance and the premium as well. A poor credit rating will not let you get benefit of the discounts that would have accrued to you if you had a good FICO standing. Ask them about the low-cost deductions.
