Part of the guide: Network Marketing Lead Generation
When it comes to money making systems there seems to be a bunch of confusion. Not only do we have to deal with the scam artists but we have to brace ourselves against all the hype in the marketplace. Hi my name’s Eric and I’ve been researching different money making methods for quite a while. These money making systems can range from crummy little scams online to reasonably priced franchises all the way up to huge publicly traded companies like Apple and Microsoft.
What’s the Best Money Making System?
Now to be fair some of these systems you find online are outright scams that take peoples hard earned cash but others are totally legitimate money making opportunities. I know there are some people out there that would disagree with me but I think one of the easiest and most legitimate money making systems to date is actually network marketing. I’m going to be using the network marketing module as our money making system because it’s been around for over 100 years and it’s a proven system.
People Don’t Understand MLM’s
One of the biggest problems with network marketing is simply just a misunderstanding. What do I mean by misunderstanding? Well what I mean is that network marketing is NOT what it seems. You see it turns out that the products in network marketing aren’t Really the true products. Believe it or not the job of an mlm distributors is not to sling vitamins, sell services, or even to get people into the business! Sounds confusing right? How can you make any money if it’s not your job to sell product and get people signed up? Let me see if I can clarify with a list of a few things that Do NOT matter when it comes to network marketing.
- My product (or service) is Cheaper
- Our vitamins have a higher absorption rate
- Our product as a patent
- My product is better and faster than yours
- Our juice has super berries from the Muka Mucho tree in the Zambizi forest. Lol.
The reason these things aren’t important is because your business is marketing not selling. Still don’t understand? Here’s a quick scenario. Let’s say I just dropped off a truck load of super-duper ultra-soft facial cream, but you don’t have a clue as to how to market it. Do you think you’ll make any money? Probably not. You see the money isn’t in the product it’s knowing HOW to market the product.
So now the question becomes, “How do I market my product?” Think of McDonalds here. When someone buys a McDonalds franchise what are they buying? Well I think we can all agree that they’re not buying it to sell the best hamburgers in the world. They buy it because it’s a money making SYSTEM. The investors aren’t buying a bunch of ingredients to make hamburgers and french-fries. Investors want a proven system that sells the product for them and gives them a monthly income stream.
Focus on the System Not the Product
Alright! Here’s the breakdown if you still don’t quite understand how to market your product or service. Take your focus off of your product and put your energy into selling the system you’re using. Your product is NOT your company’s vitamins or service. Your product is the marketing system you’re using, and the people that come out the other side as customers and leaders. Your system can be anything so long as it has a common set of tools and instructions.
An Easy to Use Money Making System?
Now you’re probably saying, “That sounds great Eric, where can I find a super sweet money making system?” To tell you the truth, there are a lot of really good money making systems you can buy, but there’s also a lot of systems that are complete garbage. Finding a good system is only the first part of the equation. The next part is finding a system that’ll work for you, so make sure that the system you go with is a good fit for you. Now I have something that I think is the best thing since sliced bread but on the other hand it might not be for you. All I can say is that with this particular system even a 19 year old kid can do it…. Seriously, if you don’t believe me then watch the video and listen to Dakotas Story..

You have been paid late before
You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.
Read the contract →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.

This article was an eye-opener for me. I always thought selling the product was the main goal, but now I see that the system is what really matters. Thanks for the insight!

Eric, I love the analogy with McDonald’s! It’s all about the system, not just the product. Great post, Eric. This is a fantastic explanation of how MLMs should work. The focus on the marketing system rather than the product itself makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing!

Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.
See how the payout works →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.
Funny, the McDonald’s line always gets trotted out but nobody follows it to the end. A McDonald’s franchise comes with quality control, inspections, someone from head office who’ll shut you down if the fries are stale. The ‘system not product’ pitch borrows the analogy without the accountability that made it work in the first place.
Strongest version of the skeptical case: if the product genuinely doesn’t matter, price and quality should be irrelevant to recruitment, which means the incentive to ever improve the product disappears entirely. Eric’s own list of things that ‘don’t matter’ includes patents and absorption rates — fine in principle, but a system selling a product nobody would buy without the system attached is still selling something.
A hundred years old isn’t the same as proven. What’s the dropout rate for people who follow this system versus those who don’t?
If the product truly doesn’t matter, why not just build the system around whichever company is cheapest to join?
Redrawn as a process: input is a prospect, throughput is ‘the system’ — capture page, follow-up sequence, presentation — output is either a customer or a distributor. Eric’s argument is that the product sits entirely outside this diagram; it’s just the SKU attached to the throughput, and the diagram runs the same whether the SKU is vitamins or facial cream. Fine as a model, and it does explain why the article-vs-blog-post distinction he skips past doesn’t matter to the mechanics. But every process has a failure point, and a post that spends this much time on ‘the product doesn’t matter’ skips straight past where people actually drop out of the funnel, which is usually step two, not step four.
The ‘system’ Eric’s describing here still assumes video — Dakota’s story is delivered on camera, and most of the online systems built around this pitch lean the same way. Some of us built an audience entirely in writing. The framing that the system matters more than the product is right, but the system on offer is rarely built for someone who won’t go on camera.
