Here’s another big lie circulating in MLMs, Melaleuca, Inc. included – the market is saturated. You might have heard it from a former distributor who’s looking for any reason that would explain his failure. In fact, you may have even heard it from your upline.

The truth is that the market can never be saturated. Forget the fact that McDonald’s or Starbucks appears at just about every street corner – they don’t know what market share or saturation is about. You and your one home based business has reached all the people you could ever reach. You’ve made all the sales that you could ever make and for that reason, you’re deciding to believe that real reason you’re not successful in Melaleuca is because the market is saturated.

How have you learned to sell your products? What has your Melaleuca upline told you? Have they instructed you to go distribute flyers on cars, post signs on telephone poles or takes ads out in the local newspaper or telephone books? Yikes!

When a distributor keeps using the same prospecting methods over and over, a reputation will begin to develop. Let me ask you this. With the current marketing strategy you’re using, what type of person is going to respond to your prospecting? How will they see your business – as a credible, professional business or as a home operation that’s here today and gone tomorrow?

Melaleuca, the Wellness Company is also famous for saying that everyone can do this. If everyone can really have the success they desire, then why can’t distributors tell clients that this is Melaleuca, Inc. and they are a network marketing business? What kind of business person “hides” what their business is really about? That’s not professional behavior. In fact, people who tend to hide or are vague about what they do usually are doing something shady or illegal. What a great first impression for both the prospect and the new distributor!

“The products are so good that they sell themselves!” This statement often goes hand in hand with the “sharing” approach used as a marketing strategy in the Melaleuca business and I want to tell you that this is no marketing strategy! If you’ve used these lines, you might already know what I’m talking about – they don’t work! Somehow, the product that was supposed to sell itself ended up going back in its box and into the trunk of your car as you left yet another home party without a sale! The Melaleuca oil products are good, but distributors are still needed so that prospects can see the real value of the product!

Change your marketing techniques! One of the quickest ways you can get your Melaleuca MLM distributorship back on track is to set up a website. A website is great because it is a direct sales machine that operates 24 / 7! You don’t even have to be online when prospects and leads start contacting you for more information. Your website can house things like product reviews, benefits and other information about the Melaleuca tea tree oil. You can even use an e-book as a give away for your prospective clientele. There’s no limit on what you can do with your direct sales machine!

Operating online is easy! You’ll have your links that point your prospects towards Melaleuca.com, but you’ll also have a way to contact them for a follow up. Here’s another benefit. A lot of the follow up takes the form of auto-responder e-mails so you’re not really following up until they are solidly “hooked” into your business!

You want to talk about success? If you’re in the Melaleuca home based business opportunity you should already know by now that there is no such thing as a saturated market – just an outdated way of marketing. Even Wal-Mart is changing their marketing slogan to keep up with the changes taking place in society. The idea of a saturated market is like saying that since everyone has a car or a cell phone, then I can’t possibly sell anymore and the market is too saturated. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? The market is still wide open but you just need to update your marketing techniques.

Has building your business taken forever? What have your results been? If you are not getting any results after a week or a bit more of building a business online, this article could prove to be very important to you.

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been there. It took 2 years of my time and over $10,000 in credit card debt for me to learn the lesson I’m about to teach you today.

But first let me tell you about the biggest problem I had.

I was stuck in the so called “study phase” of building a business or what some people call information overload.

The truth is that information overload doesn’t really exist. It is just a way to avoid taking action. You don’t have a problem if you put into action all that you learn at the time you learn it.

Every time you read some thing you must immediately take action. And when I say immediate action I mean immediately. Not next week. Not tomorrow. Not even 2 hours from now. Do it right now. Otherwise you probably won’t do it. And you are just wasting your time.

To save you years of time and bundles of money in getting your business going, I am going to tell you a secret.

There is no such thing as an ebook or software program that will magically make you wealthy overnight with no work on your part.

Reading it here you can see that it is so obvious but there are a lot of hopeful people who buy all latest and greatest programs that come down the pike. There is no need to do this. Truthfully, it actually works against you.

It’s just distracting you from taking the simple steps you need to in order to run your internet business.

All you need to do is follow a proven plan and take consistent action each and every day.

So there you have it. Action is the cure to information overload.

There has been a lot of talk about how 2008 will turn out financially. The word recession has been thrown around a lot perhaps for shock value but maybe not. Lets pretend for a moment that these predictions of s recession are accurate. How would that effect the stock market? Well, the stock market will always be there even if the numbers change. However, in a recession, everything is relatively a penny stock. So even though penny stocks have received bad press they will always be there during good and bad times.

Recessions are times when all companies are struggling to make a profit right. Yet that doesn’t stop people from investing. People are more desperate and then to exercise more faith in a company and hence willing to take more risk when economic times are tough. During times like these people can afford to be more picky and avoid the more risky stocks. Penny stocks are risky no matter how the economy is but are a great investment if done wisely.

If there was a recession then penny stocks would get a lot more attention since people would have less money to spend and would not be as picky. There would be less negative talk about a stock that would present more people than ever before with an opportunity to invest. People would see it as more of an opportunity than a gamble. You see its all about perspective and approach. Anybody can lose money doing anything if done incorrectly. Penny stocks can make you a lot of money if invested in correctly.

All the people who talk bad about penny stocks are either the ones who have got burned investing in them or the ones who know nothing at all about them except what others have told them. It makes for interesting stories but the truth is that the gains of penny stocks will kick butt against any other stock type. Other stocks can make great gains but definitely not as quickly as penny stocks.

So will 2008 be a recession? I don’t think so. Will it be a good year to invest in penny stocks? Well of course it will be. Just invest cautiously. Penny stocks have never represented a bad investment just one that should be approached with caution. Its easy to take the advice of others without really knowing the truth but including penny stocks as a part of your portfolio is a smart move any day of the week.
