Online Business Systems aka Herbalife

I was looking at Global Online Systems also called Online Business Systems.  They have a lot of sales promises.

Before I spent any money I figured out they were run by Herbalife.

You don’t have to do too many searches on the internet to find sites like these.

This guy has a good site and a lot of other funny stuff on there, it reminds me a little of Mythbusters – a tv show I like.

Here is another link: www.mlmwatch.org/13Victims/fox.html that has a lot of the same information.

Funny how many of these online marketing or muli level marketing schemes work the same way.

There is money to be made but you have to be one of the first or you have to sign up a lot of people under you and I have no idea where you would go to find a large group of suckers willing to part with their money.

Plus, I don’t really even like the idea of trying.

I would rather work on something a little more productive than tricking people.

There are people who use that tactic and it seem they usually end up have problems, I always try to be honest with people and things just seem to work out better for me that way.

So the bottom line is if I can’t be honest and upfront with people I am really not interested in making money that way.

This kind of reminds me of a guy I knew who talked me into going to a sales meeting but would not tell me about it, only that it was a great opportunity and he could not disclose what it was.

It turned out to be Amway, and they have the high pressure sales people there to try and slam you fast, before you think about it too much.  I decided I would never again go listen to anyone speak if they couldn’t tell me what it was about.

"There is money to be made but you have to be one of the first or you have to sign up a lot of people under you" - No you don't. You can retail the products directly to the customer.

"I would rather work on something a little more productive than tricking people." You are not tricking people, but you are unintentionally misinforming them.

For an opportunity to start some proper reasearch, try Kiyosaki's Book, The Business School:

"There is money to be made but you have to be one of the first or you have to sign up a lot of people under you" - This is a common misconception that most people have about MLM. It's sad that ignorance like this prevents people from understanding the freedom that can be achieved by working for themself rather than someone else. Doesn't an employer profit more from having more employees? It's how all companies make money. Would you rather be the owner or the employee? In MLM, everyone is an owner.

"I would rather work on something a little more productive than tricking people." Educating people on how to run a business is not tricking people. First you have to attract people to the benefits being offered. If they want what you have, then they are willing to be educated on what they need to do in order to get it for themselves. There is no trick, the information is free or nominal at best. After all, would you pay to put a bunch of tire-kickers up in business? Or would you want to screen for the serious ones? Our business model is simple service 20 repeat consumers and teach 5 people to do that, too! If you can't maintain 20 customers, it's a reflection on YOU not the products, the company or the compensation plan. Most people don't want to face that truth.
