Discussion of the factors that go into the decision to join many affiliate network programs or a single work from home opportunity.
One MLM Program vs. Many MLM Programs

Depending on the MLM guru to whom you are listening, your best chance for success is finding one program and focusing all your attention on it or signing up for as many successful programs as you can find. These diametrically opposed perspectives could be classified as the following schools of thought: One Program and Many Programs, respectively.

Which school is right? As is so often and frustratingly the case, the answer is: It depends. The programs in questions, your finances, the time you have to spend, and your personal disposition are all important factors in this decision.

If your financial and temporal resources are limited, spreading them out between multiple programs will probably not get you over that initial hump of development that each opportunity will require. (Overzealous MLMers who are trying to build their downline perpetuate the myth that the code affiliates earn money without doing anything. That is the expected finish result, but it takes a lot of hard work at the initial to reach that point.)

Certain programs also lend themselves better to one school or another. Many programs to make traffic for your web page are costless and require a browser window to be open to a certain page on your computer. Since you might easily open multiple browser windows and pay $0 as many times as you might click a button labeled "Join Now", it only makes sense to sign up for every code you come across.

Its also important to look at your personal situation. I run a internet site that compares various affiliate programs. People come to this page because they are interested in joining one or more programs, but do not understand what they want from a script or whats available. It behooves me to participate in multiple programs so that I can provide opinions, insight, or just information on the opportunities I think would be a grand fit for them.

In truth, the right course for most many people is somewhere between these two extremes. Your main code might be a site that resells household goods. In order to bring visitors to this page , you decide to also join an internet selling code and several visitors generation programs. The household goods page produces most of your income, but the other programs support its growth.

There is no right or wrong answer. Just get started and be ready to increase or decrease the number of programs in which you participate as needed.

One Program Looking to find people to fit into your program All advertising efforts and funds are focused on one code If the script or downline folds, your income is gone You will meet minimum payout quickly because all of your earnings are in one program Exposure to a little experience and few ideas with building your downline Can work well for paid to surf, internet selling , and product referral/resale programs

Many Programs Looking for everybody interested in opportunity, then may recommend code that is the best fit Marketing efforts and money are scattered over multiple programs If one script or downline folds, you have other sources of income You will meet minimum payout slowly because your earnings are spread out in several programs Exposure to much acquired skill and vast array of ideas in building your downline Can work well for paid to email, traffic generation, internet selling , and item referral/resale programs
