Part of the guide: Network Marketing Lead Generation
Are you a network marketing failure guru? Chances are you are and you are insuring your success in never making a nickel in network marketing.
If you have been successful and are tired of being that way then you just need to follow these tips to insure your failure.
1. Treat your networking business as a hobby. The problem with multi level marketing companies is that they don’t charge enough money to join. When your cost of entry is so low you will not take it seriously. Heck it was only a few hundred bucks and no big deal to lose.
2. Don’t bother learning about the business. This is one of the best ways to fail. Just join, never attend any training, and don’t read any books on the subject. You will be on the fast track to failure if you ignore education and training.
3. Join a company that is so good you won’t even have to tell anybody about it. Potential business partners will know just by walking past you in a store, mall, or any other area, you are in the best company, and they will approach you. You won’t have to say a thing.
4. Start out full time. If you currently have a regular job, you should quit right away. To make the big money in network marketing, you will need to spend at least ten hours a day walking around where there are lots of people. You won’t have time to do that if you are working your regular job.
5. Listen to your family when they tell you that you don’t have what it takes. You probably joined the wrong company with the wrong pay plan anyway. Your well-meaning friends and family know what’s good for you. Don’t let your own independent thinking and drive interfere with what people think of you.
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.
However, you need to make sure that you have something in writing from them that ensures they will insure your financial independence.
Of course, this is just a humorous look at an industry that has a 97% or higher failure rate. I don’t know if the failure rate is actually that high. In order to fail, you have to give it a try. I bet the network marketing industry has a 97% quit rate.
This is good though, if everybody was successful in network marketing, then who would do all the regular jobs?

Get paid 100%, on-chain, the second the sale clears
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.

Small correction: the “97% failure rate” doesn’t trace to any verifiable source, so read it as folklore, same as the post’s own aside admits. That said, the satire underneath lands. Tip five, listening to family who’ve never built anything themselves, is the one I’ve watched do real damage.
What tip three satirizes is a real fallacy people actually fall into: mistaking product quality for a self-executing marketing plan. Quality doesn’t distribute itself — attention has to be deliberately directed at it. It’s the same mistake product-led-growth advocates in tech make when they assume a good product markets itself without anyone doing the marketing work.
Philip, the best case for the opposite view: there are products, rare ones, where word of mouth genuinely does most of the work without deliberate distribution, because the product itself generates unprompted conversation. I’m not convinced most MLM products clear that bar, but the tip’s satire assumes the premise is always false, and it isn’t always. The honest failure in tip three isn’t believing quality can spread on its own, it’s believing your specific product is one of the rare ones that does.
Tip one, treating it like a hobby because entry is cheap, is the only one on that list I’ve watched hold up across three companies and thirty years without exception.
Priya’s right about the number, and it reminds me of every “benchmarking survey” I sat through for twenty-two years that turned out to be one consultant’s opinion wearing a percentage sign. Tip four made me laugh, because I effectively did that in reverse — quit a director role at fifty for something new, and the joke about walking a mall ten hours a day isn’t far off what the corporate version demanded, just indoors and in a suit.
