Autoship – Does It Really Kill a Business?

I saw the following posted in a group on Facebook not long ago:

I have learned so much this past year!! MLM is such a great business and alows us to be home with our families more! I have also learned that Autoship kils MLMs sometimes which gets me so pumped i found one that has no autoship!!

We all talk to people who want something but aren’t willing to pay the price, but it’s the  regular/consistent movement of products/services out to end users that is the life blood of any legitimate company.   Unfortunately the commenter is in a business that only moves people and money.

What do I mean by that?

If there is NOTHING being moved but people and their money, then more than likely the opportunity is on the fringes of being a Ponzi scheme, NOT a viable business.

I’ll say it again, because it bears repeating for some………. People must understand that all the profit to pay your  monthly residual commissions from any company, from a legal company that is, comes from one thing: the sale of a product/service to someone. The difference between the cost of the product, plus the overhead, equals the amount of commission that they can pay you.   This is true both in Traditional business and Network Marketing.

I see all these “Free to join, Free to earn”  online businesses……   Someone, somewhere has GOT TO BE SPENDING MONEY for YOU TO EARN an income.  Money does not just flow ONE WAY…Out to YOU!

Traditional Business:  You pay for the building, the lights, the telephone, the products or tools to provide a service, and of course there are many other ‘hidden costs’ .  Money is still going out before any comes back to you.

Network Marketing:  Most generally you pay a small fee to become a representative and in most cases you are expected to purchase products/services on an ongoing basis to maintain your eligibility to earn on the movement of products/services to others.

If you don’t want to use the products/services of the company you are looking at, DON’T JOIN THAT COMPANY!!!!!  If you can’t afford the monthly required autoship, then maybe you need a part time job, not a Network Marketing business.

Both a part-time job AND building a Network Marketing business TAKE TIME EACH DAY!
What best serves your need for that TIME?

A part-time job will bring instant rewards and cash flow…. Network Marketing, you’ve got to be able to sustain while you build your self, your skill level and you business.

It’s sad to hear people say that Autoships KILL Network Marketing.  From the first day someone gave someone else one item in exchange for another…… a business transaction was created. Movement of products/services WILL always be the mainstay of business…. any business, whether you are trading a pig for a TV, flipping burgers, the CEO of some company or building a Network Marketing Business……
