I’m a firm believer in achieving traffic and major credibility through forums, but it’s not a perfect method. Sometimes the benefits may be slow to come and you may start to think you are gaining nothing. Well, now there is a solution. Russell Brunson has just launched a forum where you get immediate benefits from participating in forums.

It’s called the “Conquer Your Niche” forum. This forum is moderated by top internet marketers. This means it is not there to serve as free for all advertising and will contain real useful information on how to make your site profitable, from those who talk the talk and walk the walk.

The real benefit is that you can display your ad on the forum and you earn advertisement credits every time you post or even READ a forum post. Is that cool, or what?

If you haven’t joined any internet marketing forums, you are missing out on solid advice from those who are doing what everyone else is dreaming about. Unlike many internet marketing forums, this one is free and you get paid (in advertising).

Be sure to join before you forget. You don’t want to miss out on free advertising and free top-notch internet marketing advice. Check it out at:

It’s free to sign up …and your ad will start displaying
ASAP.

Here’s to your online success,

Recently I saw an MLM opportunity that sounded good. It’s called Zooloot. Buy a $2 chocolate bar, refer others and earn commissions. Sounds pretty good. Lots of people love chocolate. It can’t be too much of a hard sell, right? The picture of the chocolate bar certainly looked good. They have 4 flavors, including chocolate, white, strawberry and toffee. Yum, Yum! $2 is not really much of an investment in order to earn commissions, I thought.

So I signed up. Paid my $2. I clicked the “Ship My Chocolate button”. I wanted that chocolate right now, baby. It’s 2 a.m. and I got the munchies. But then, whoa! How much is the shipping?!

Shipping for the $2 chocolate bar is $4.75. Ouch! That’s more than twice the price of the bar.

This is a perfect example of what’s wrong with MLM. Even when the product is fantastic and practically sells itself, you find that the price is unreasonably expensive. Offline you can get one of those charity chocolate bars for $1, and that’s a perfect price. Whenever I see someone selling these, I also find that they have no problem selling out.

So why would you need to pay $6.75 for the same type of chocolate bar. Because with MLM chocolate bars, you’re paying the commission for the seller and their whole downline. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need chocolate that badly. My cheapskatedness has way more fortitude than my sweet tooth.

Also strangely, I don’t remember seeing any mention of this shipping cost until after I paid the $2. Hmm…

Painful lesson learned here: There’s no such thing as a good cheap MLM deal. You’re always paying way more than the products are worth, which outweighs the fact that the product is perfectly legitimate.
