I am sitting in the large hall on the last row. I came here based on an advertisement - “We invite you to work.” The hall is full of people and almost all of them know each other. Music plays and they smile at each other. It's easy and fun for them. Some of them go on stage and talk about how interesting they are to work. The whole hall applauds.
I didn't expect this. It's all too much like a game. I'm ready to leave, but then a man approaches me. He says: “I can guess what you are feeling now. Let me tell you more about our company.”
This is how, or almost like this, the acquaintance with network marketing began for many. A business that often leaves one feeling frivolous, a business in which the ability to play turns out to be more important than other, seemingly more important abilities. What is one of the main secrets of this business - the secret of the game?
“Time for business is time for fun”
"WITH important things they're not kidding"
"You have to be serious to succeed"
Our lives have been filled with these and similar ideas since childhood. Case And a game found themselves in opposite parts of our soul and began to be perceived as mutually exclusive. The game was seen as something harmful, interfering with success in business, which must be, if not eliminated altogether, then limited and controlled - hence the “hour for fun.”
Placing a priority on organization, discipline and control in work, society until recently did not notice the price it pays for this. In fact, when play leaves work, a number of very important things disappear along with it, namely:
1. Energy.
2. Creativity.
3. Meaning.
This happens because only through play does a person gain access to the depths of his consciousness, to layers filled with strength and creative energy, to layers that give meaning to his activities. Become too “serious” and you will lose it for a long time, if not forever.
I am again sitting in the large hall on the last row. I came here because I like it here. I have only taken the first steps and I have achieved something. It is still difficult for me to smile and applaud, although every time I hear applause, I want to be on stage myself. It seems strange to me that the most successful people in this room they look the most cheerful and frivolous. I conscientiously try to understand the secret of their success.
When network marketing first came to Russia, it caused an ambivalent reaction. On the one side, he attracted with the feeling of play, lightness, relaxed, friendly communication between people, the opportunity to work freely and creatively. On the other side, this is also what alarmed me, falling under the sight of strong social stereotypes of the incompatibility of business and play. “A serious person won’t do this”, “Housewife business”, “This won’t last long” - these are often the first (and not only the first) reactions to getting acquainted with network marketing.
But gradually the ice of mistrust melted, and it became noticeable that it was precisely those companies and organizations that more fully use the potential of the game in their work that received an advantage in the market. They attract new distributors more easily, train them faster and better, and retain them more firmly. Game factors become especially important in conditions of increasing competition in the market. network marketing, when the emotional atmosphere in the company and the quality of training of the distributor network come to the fore.
I am sitting in a large hall among my friends. In the short time that I have been coming here, a lot has changed in my life. I feel more confident and lighter at the same time. I don’t consider myself a leader yet, but I have already invited many to this room. I enjoy coming up with something new in my work. I noticed that it became easier for me to communicate with people. Work and play no longer seem so incompatible to me.
Let's now look at how network companies themselves use the principles of the game and how you can practically apply and strengthen these principles in your work.
Firstly , one look at the product lines successful companies makes the heart of any adult “child” beat (and we are all children at heart). For some, beautiful jars and bottles remind them of construction sets or blocks they played with as children, for others - a collection of stamps or badges. Naturally, all this happens on a deep, unconscious level, but nevertheless, rarely does anyone remain indifferent and many will immediately want to start playing.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 1 . When talking about your company’s product line, be sure to show the entire (or almost the entire) line. It is also important that each person at the presentation holds several products in their hands.
Secondly , a marketing plan that entices with words like “ruby director,” “diamond executive,” “five-star president,” evokes the equally natural desire for every person to be the best player, the desire to play and win.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 2 . When presenting your company’s marketing plan, focus not only on earning opportunities, but also on moving up the ladder of titles and ranks, emphasizing the accessibility of such advancement. By doing so, you will bring into your work the enormous energy of natural ambition.
Third , the entire training system of successful companies and organizations is built on play, ease and creating a feeling of support and care for those new to the business, an atmosphere of team and family.
All this makes network marketing so attractive to millions of people, playing games, which is so much fun to play and where everyone wins.
I'm standing on stage in front of a large hall. It’s easy and simple for me to talk about my path in network marketing. I love this business. He brought me independence and success, joy and confidence. I'm pleased to hear applause. They make me want to achieve even more. I'm very glad that I didn't leave here that first time.
How else can you use the principles of play in your work with your organization?
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 3 . When bringing a new person into your organization, remember that he wants to play and at the same time fears play. When giving him the opportunity to open up in game and business, be careful - do not overplay. Choose your own game for everyone.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 4 . Use only those elements of the game that bring you pleasure. The game cannot be faked - this becomes immediately noticeable.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 5 . Learn to play from others, especially from leaders, but do not copy blindly - it should be yours a game. In particular, do not copy the games that Americans use - we are still different.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 6 . When talking about business, giving schools and presentations, use metaphors and images. Illustrate each important point you want to emphasize with images and practical examples.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 7 . In your network’s training system, use only original company color literature, magazines, books and videotapes good quality. Don't make copies or use poor quality materials - it kills the game.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 8 . Be sure to include competitions and lotteries with fun and unexpected prizes in your network reward system.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 9 . Applaud and teach everyone to applaud. Applause awakens the deep energy of a person.
PRACTICAL ADVICE No. 10 . Create a team and family environment among your network members and teach them to do the same. Celebrate birthdays, relax and travel with your team.
I go down into the hall from the stage. In the last row I see a man with frightened eyes. He looks like me the way I came here the first time. It's easy for me to understand. I come up to him and say: “I can guess what you are feeling now. Let me tell you more about our company. Welcome to the game of games.”
Have been popular for several years now Online Games with the withdrawal of money. There are quite a few names for this type of income. I'm used to using the abbreviation - MLM games. In this article you will learn About, what are MLM games, reasons for their popularity And Why, from my point of view, they are not worth wasting money and time on.
Many participants in online earnings come to this area precisely after getting into some game with the withdrawal of money. This is not surprising, because they are advertised at every turn on the Internet. I was no exception and started my journey of making money on the Internet with one of these games. I wrote about this in, and it’s time to dwell on this in more detail.
“MLM games” - what is it?
MLM games are online investment projects that operate on the basis of network marketing. That is, this ordinary money pyramids wrapped in a beautiful shell, where it seems that you are just playing, but in fact you are losing your money (you can also earn money with it, but more on that later).
Such projects work when they receive new investments and new users. If this does not happen, then the project is either closed (investments are not returned to anyone, of course), or it is seriously changed, which also does not bring any benefit to the “players”.
Types of MLM games
There are 3 types of MLM games (there may be more, but I have only encountered these). Next we will talk in detail about each of them and Let's see if it's possible to make money on them.
First type - Games with points
The operating principle of such projects is a semi-deception called “non-negotiation”. Users see colorful advertisements on other sites, YouTube bloggers and many other places on the Internet. They become interested, and they decide to try, invest in the project and wait for the promised riches. At first, everything looks great: money is being withdrawn, profitability is gradually growing, and the project is not even thinking about closing. However, you can’t do without a catch. When payments approach 60% of the deposit amount (values may vary and usually range between 60-80%), the user understands that for further withdrawal of funds some payment points are needed. Of course, they will be mentioned on the site, but in the most inconspicuous places. For the creator of the project, everything is simply wonderful - most users will never withdraw all the invested funds.
Usually there is 2 ways to get payment points: invest more money in the project (in order to withdraw only part of it again) or invite new users to the project who will invest new funds in the project. Thus, in this type of game you can only earn money if you invite new investors to the project.
Potential investors are unlikely to be interested in the project if they are immediately told about payment points. From this we can conclude that in this type of MLM games you can make money, but you can’t do it without cheating(non-statements of the most important features project). Here everyone must make an independent choice as to whether they need it.
I started making money online after I came across one of these sites, famous game—Golden Birds.
The second type is a HYIP project disguised as an MLM game
To understand this type, I will briefly describe what a HYIP project is.
HYIP (Hyip) project- this is one of the types of online earnings, when investments are returned too quickly with additional profit. For example, you are offered to invest 100 rubles and promised to give back 200 rubles in a week - this is a HYIP project. In fact, any contribution that brings the investor more than the bank rate can be classified as hype, but this is an overly simplified explanation.
IN in this case The HYIP project is disguised as an MLM game to attract more users. There are no points(restrictions on earnings from the project), but this is a dubious advantage. Such sites live exactly when new investors actively come and profitability grows. As soon as profitability begins to decline on the site, payments are immediately closed in order to squeeze the last juice out of the project, and then the entire site is closed.
The third type is MLM games without withdrawal options
With this type It is impossible to withdraw funds from the project initially. There is an illusion of payments, but this main function has not worked since the creation of the site. Such projects are usually made using templates from other, more popular MLM games and are designed for the most inattentive Internet users.
It is initially clear that It is impossible to earn money if you visit such a site. In the field of online earnings you should always be extremely careful and try not to miss any details. This will help you earn money, because there are sad statistics that on the Internet almost everyone is trying to deceive others in order to get rich.
conclusions
Everyone must draw conclusions for themselves. I think that Don’t waste time on games with money withdrawal. Yes, it is possible to make money from them. However, this involves deceiving other users or unreasonably high risks.
The MLM direction of the company is very popular among hype projects. They always get a lot of traffic, usually due to interesting and highly profitable investment plans. Let's take a closer look at what exactly they are.
MLM companies are not hype in the usual sense. The thing is that, unlike standard HYIPs, there are no legends in MLM companies. That is, the administration does not write about what the MLM business does and how it makes money. Instead, only investment plans are indicated, and in some cases it is directly indicated that the MLM company is financial Pyramide, and here you can lose all your money.
Hourly MLM companies
First of all, they differ in the type of payments. There are MLM businesses that pay out funds every hour (hourly). They are very popular, since receiving money into your wallet 24 times a day is very pleasant. In addition to this, hourly payments reduce the burden on the MLM company, because the amounts that go towards payments are small and constitute a small percentage of the initial deposit.
In addition to hourly workers, there are MLM companies that credit funds once a day (2 days, 5 days, etc.). There are two here possible types payments The first is with the inclusion of the deposit body in payments, and the second is when the initial deposit is returned at the end of the investment period. The first type is more suitable for investors, because here the risk of losing all funds is reduced. A participant in an MLM business receives equal amounts from his deposit every day and can withdraw them.
Even if the administrator closes the MLM business, part of the money will be returned by the investor. When paying the deposit at the end of the investment period, the HYIP participant may not receive anything at all, because at the time of payment of the deposit, the administrator can simply close the MLM business.
A popular type of MLM company is queues
Their essence is that the participant who made the contribution receives a payment immediately after someone has made a new contribution. All payments are made in order of priority (those who invested first are first in line). You can only make money in such MLM companies if you are one of the first to enter. Once the queue grows, deposit payments may take months instead of several hours.
This fact will only push away new investors, and the queue will be full. Therefore, today admins use this type MLM business is becoming less and less common.
Another type of MLM business is doublers
Everything is simple here - you invest a certain amount and get twice as much. The main feature of these MLM companies is that the amount doubles in a very short period of time, from an hour to two days. If you enter such an MLM business wisely, you can earn quite good money, but the risk of losing funds, naturally, is disproportionately higher than in ordinary HYIPs, where the amount can double in 2-3 months.
"Perpetual motion machines" in MLM businesses
They simply cannot collapse theoretically (depending only on the conscientiousness of the administrators). These are different kinds of matrices and referral chains. You can make money here only if you actively invite new participants to the MLM business, and they, in turn, will invite others. Thus, your chain will grow, and you will earn money from your structure constantly, but only if there is a constant influx of new people. Income will fall only when this influx stops, but the system, as a rule, warns all participants that in order to make money in this MLM company, it is necessary to invite new people.
So we have looked at the main types of MLM companies. It’s up to you to decide whether to participate in them or not, but if you do decide, choose the type of project that best suits your character and financial capabilities. We wish you success in investing.
