You’ve heard the stories of the people who through good fortune aligned themselves with a brand spanking new MLM company in a prelaunch phase. Because of their favorable position in the company, they go on to rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing little to no work.

Are these stories real? Sure they are, but they are very rare. I see a lot of network marketers chasing after brand new MLM opportunities because they believe that their success boils down to their position with the company. They cross their fingers that the company does well so they can sit back and soak up the profits.

If you are trying to build your MLM in this fashion, just know that this is not that different from playing the lottery. Your chances of any lasting success are very, very low.

Now, don’t get me wrong–it is great if you can get in with a promising company in a prelaunch phase. I would NOT, however, put all of your eggs in this basket. What is far more important than the positioning you have within your company is the level of skill and knowledge you have developed when it comes to marketing and prospecting.

You can still do very, very well in a more established company IF you understand marketing and prospecting and you take consistent action. That is why there are still people who swear by companies like Usana and Amway. These companies have good reputations and there are indeed many people who create financial independence through these opportunities (although the vast majority do not).

The main factor in your success really boils down to how well-developed you are as an entrepreneur, both in terms of your mindset and your marketing systems. Most network marketers take these factors for granted and they give a lot of their power to their outer circumstances.

I would rather join a company I was truly passionate about and that I could market with 100% integrity than one whose only positive is that they are brand new to the marketplace. Learn to market your opportunity, regardless of whether you are with an established company or one in prelaunch.

In particular, I highly recommend that you put your focus on internet marketing and social media. My first recommendation is to sign up for the Traffic Mastery series I have created for you here by leaving your name and email below. This training will offer more tips and resources for free than you will find in most courses you will pay for.

Now, the ideal combination of factors is when the company is relatively new AND you are truly passionate about the product/service you are promoting. This is exceptionally rare in this industry. I spent 7 years searching for it and did not find it until quite recently.

Be well, learn to market, and develop yourself on a personal level.. this advice is far more important than how new your company is.
