Are You Calling Me A Squatter? Them's Fightin' Words! is the title of my last article
and it is about what most Affiliate Marketers have experienced...failure and frustration.

That's where the 95% or so give up on trying to make an income online. Then there's
the other 5% that gets back up on that horse and goes for another ride. Hey, that's
a description of me. Almost every successful Marketer has had their ups and downs,
learning from mistakes, spotting the "cons", and honing their Marketing skills using
methods that produce results.

After trial and error, I learned that evaluating a program or company to see if is worth 
advertising is important. What I mean is, after a trial period of bringing people into your
downline, matrix, powerline, or whatever, you need to analyze if it's working out or not.
Are you getting the results that the Affiliate program's Admin stated on his webpage.
Are you going to destroy your credibility promoting something that you know is wasting
your time and everybody that joins under you. Is your downline making any headways.

BINGO! Is your downline making any headways?

That's what Multi-Level Marketing is all about. Where are you without your downline?
Top of your Matrix with a big zero on your backoffice commission report.

After joining the Figbiz back in February, I entered my trial and evaluation phase. The
evaluation was made easy by joining the Figbiz Group Forum and reading about some
long-term members success that have been with Fig for a few years. Stable and producing
results...that's what I like to see in a business. I began promoting and had my initial
matrix filled in a short time.


As I continued promoting, I contacted my downline members and was looking for some
feedback. I still remember that first email I sent out..."How are you doing with the figbiz?"
I hesitated before hitting the "send" button. The moment of truth...

One member quickly emailed back, 'Great, filled my matrix, moved on and joined the
first nutritional company." Huh!!?, Was my reaction. He has shot past me in a week,
which took me over a month to fill my matrix. A quick phone call to Fig admin confirmed
that I will remain his upline in the "health" company when I am ready to join.

There is no better feeling to know one of your members is doing just as well as you
or better. Two days ago a member that joined under me in March, replied to a thread
I started months ago in the MMG (MoneyMakerGroup.com) Forum. Jose is a long-time
MMG member and concurred with what I was posting that Fig works. MMG is not
the place to spread false information or members will descend on you and practically
"run you out of Dodge" and destroy the credibility of your Thread.

So, a big Thanks goes out to Jose in California, USA. In conclusion the biggest obstacle
to overcome in MLM these days, is building trust. That is the reason I only write articles
about programs or companies I know are legitimate. Doing otherwise will only destroy
the trust I have with my members and readers plus my Home Business.
