thanks for your input Jack. It does take time to get into profit. In some cases it might be a little longer than 12 months but that is fine too.

I agree with all of the above…

You are building a business here….

Also i think if a newbie starts out their business with a mindset of doing everything on the cheap including their lead generation, then its not going to work out well…

All the top online network marketers are spending money on advertising…

Yes you can get alot of free leads online every day using social media and articles but its takes alot of skills, time and it not easily duplicable..

This is a BUSINESS and it may take u 6 – 12 months to get into profit…

If you are doing your paid marketing well at about $2 a piece per lead, then you should be in profit after a few months as long as they are going through the right sales funnel that brands you & will spit out cash flow which will pay for your marketing

Good points Charlie

People start businesses without proper financing, even in the brick and mortar businesses.

I have advised people in the past that they need to be able to pay their monthly bills themselves assuming they generate no revenue.

Now that's how to tell it like it is Charlie,
People coming into this industry need to understand that you have to treat this business like a "real" business because that's exactly what it is. You have to be willing to invest money in your business and yourself.

If you are not willing to do that, then there is always corporate America to fall back on, but if you even have a little bit of and entrepreneur in you, that won't be acceptable.

Way to lead like a leader. keep up the good work.

good to meet you Steve, thanks for commenting. Yes as long as people have an awareness of the costs then the potential is fantastic, done steadily over time as you rightly say.

you make a good point Oliver. If people are fully aware of these points, then in a sense there is no risk
thanks as always for your insights which I really value
