Just prior to New Year’s Eve, we have a family tradition of tossing out old, worn, broken or useless “stuff” that seems to accumulate over the year. 

Some items just seemed to be sentimental and I have a high degree of reluctance to “let go.” However, this year was different. I have hoarded a collection of “Old School” Network Marketing “stuff” around the house that has accumulated over the last ten years. My wife Addie reminded me that I still had boxes full in the attic while most of this antiquated marketing materials remained in the basement. I found remainders, all over the house from the top to the bottom. It was stuffed everywhere. 

In retrospect, the reluctance to not categorizing this stuff as junk is an admission that the ideas and expense and the dreams of instant wealth that went along with them was a waste of time and money.  

 These MLM/Network marketing materials worked for me in 1970, but in the last decade, I must now confess, they were a dismal failure.

 Don’t get me wrong, they provided us with a very nice part time income  

Screwed by MLM before?

that enabled Addie and I to buy a second home when we married ten years ago.  However in this “New World” of ” Attraction Network Marketing,” these advertising/marketing materials and techniques did not help create the level of financial independence that we all are capable of achieving and that we all deserve. They simply didn’t apply anymore! They lost their MoJo! The unlimited power of the Internet combined with Social Media with the ability to reach thousands of potential business partners every day made “Old School  marketing”  techniques regress back into the world of the horse and buggy. 

Wistfully, I sorted out hundreds of audio cassettes, offered my high speed cassette duplicator to a ministry that still recoded their sermons on tape, tossed a pile of marketing CDs and sorted out printed posters, mailers, “drop cards,” brochures, windshield flyers, door hangers, company literatures for the paper recycling bin. 

I must admit my best business card “drop card” is a facsimile of a $50 bill. I t is so realistic I still have a few left that I use as a business card. I really haven’t gotten a response or sponsored anyone with them, but they are absolutely fun to see people’s reaction when you “drop” them on the ground and watch people’s reaction.

In retrospect I now realize that my 1970’s success in Amway just plain “luck.”

Is the Lottery your retirement plan?

Despite the fact that I really was “working hard,” admittedly it was due to these antiquated “Old School” marketing techniques were “hardly working.”. One night I had a Divine Inspirational “brainstorm.” In 1970, it was perfectly acceptable to advertise an MLM business in the “help wanted” classified ad section. Yes this, is admittedly misleading, but an accepted practice in those days.

This one newspaper ad was my key to success and I understand many other groups across the country later picked it up. “Local Business owner retiring early. Seeking to train an honest and ambitious individual to take over the successful product sales and distribution business. No investment can start part-time. Call 1-555-123-1234.” The phone rang off the hook. Some people were unhappy when they showed up at my house to find a room full of ambitious and excited people with me at the blackboard drawing circles. However,I sponsored people left and right from that one ad. My group was growing exponentially in the beginning. However, duplication like they tell you really wasn’t really happening. People were supposed to bring two who brought two didn’t, never happened. 

So anyone considering becoming a distributor in a Network Marketing company must really understand that there is a whole new way of doing business.
