I have joined an MLM.
Almost every site with chat, message boards etc prevents me from recruiting.
I have a brilliant product, but I can’t seem to be able to sell it. This weekend I put 500 fliers out and got one response which did not buy.
(1) considering my financial situation where can I find people who would be willing to help by just BUYING from me?
(2) Considering my business, how do I get new customers and new distributors?
(3) Is there any organization or person who would be willing to market for me? I dont mind paying for results.
First off is your MLM niche?
Ever thought of starting your own msg boards for promoting or even a small website?
email me if you want more info.
In an MLM it is not how many but whom you recruit that makes all the difference. you can recruit 200 people and out of this amount only 10 will be successful. In MLM you need to recruit a few, take care of them while they get started and support them all the way. Only in that way you can secure your business long term. MLM pays good money but you have to work really hard in the beginning but if you take it seriously then you are looking for success. I was in an MLM myself and believe me at first it was hell, I had various opposition which along with the pressure of my actual work forced me to put aside my dreams.
Make your own list of contacts whom you wish to be their sponsor and start from there. Don’t look at mass marketing; if you do it you will be out of business quite soon.
It’s rarely an instant return on the Internet. You need your website coming up relevant to what people “search for” on the Internet. It takes time to get placement in the right places within the Internet and if you’re listed in the right category of searches you stand a better chance of returns. The following is one of the better ways.
For a small charge you can have a “Permanent” website advertisement placed in an index such as this in a choice of around 750 categories to target your business trade.
This will raise your website profile and increase its chances of extra sales because this site is indexed by the search engines placing your site within public searches.
The advantage of a site like this is that you don’t have to update your listing again.

(1) The answer is the same for MLM or any other business. You need to a marketing system. There are many to choose and they work differently (i.e., funded proposal vs reverse funnel), but the idea is the same; prequalify prospects automatically. This is usually done via some type of opt-in mechanism (i.e., single, double or even tripple opt-in). Each layer screens out non-prospects or rather lets the non-prospect filter themselves out. Those that are left are pre-qualified prospects. For example; 100 people find your landing page, website or whatever the marketing plan is. 60 opt-in at the first layer to receive whatever that layer offers (usually free information). Maybe 10 continue to the next opt-in layer, which may require the purchase of something such as the marketing system itself, ebook or product (this is usually called a funded proposal system). These 10 folks are your prequalified prospects. What that means is that you haven’t wasted any time talking to the 90 others.
(2) MLM is sales and that sales is a process (that takes time), not an event (i.e., just buying). See (1) for new distributors
(3) You have to find a system or systems that work for you. I use a funded proposal system and augment that income with affiliate marketing. Often, it is a mix of marketing systems that are required to reach your goals.
Above all you’re on the right track. A marketing system is key.
