Why I Joined Jerky DirectMy MLM StoryWhy I joined.
A few years ago, I was introduced to network marketing by joining an organization that I found through some online message board. The poster, a fellow mom halfway across the country, said she worked with a company that helped moms earn money to stay home with their children.The company name was "hush, hush"; she couldn't mention it to me in email, but did tell me when I called. They sold all natural personal and cleaning products and sounded great! Although it made me feel funny about all the secrecy, I decided to give them a try, so thats why I joined. The company worked off a points system; I was required to purchase so many points per month. I can't remember how many exactly, but let's say it was 75. Each product in their catalog was worth a different amount of points, and the points didn't necessarily translate evenly. For example, a $7.99 cleaner might be 3 points while a $7.99 candle might be only 2. On average, including shipping, I was spending approximately $175 per month on my 75 points. When I got my first shipment, I was in love! The products, albeit a little expensive, were wonderful! They smelled good, they worked good, and it was so much fun getting something in the mail! So I set about trying to sell the opportunity. I had originally wanted to do so online, but at the time, I was ignorant on how to market effectively online. So I didn't do such a good job. I bought all the "company sponsored" websites and such, but was just spinning my wheels. Of course, it would have helped if I could have mentioned the company name. I always felt like I was tricking someone with it all. That's not why I joined.
Offline, I spent several hundred dollars to get some print materials made – again, not mentioning the company name. I then spent several hundred more to get them included in new resident welcome packs. I got one lead in four months of doing this; did a home presentation, but they passed. Over time, it started to wear me out. I was spending tons of money online and offline to promote this business, I was paying 5 times more per month in health and beauty aids and cleaners than I typically did, and my husband finally confessed that he didn't even like the product! Defeated, after 6 months I quit the business. In that time I had sponsored one person total, who stayed in less than a month. I had never made a single dime, I had spent over a thousand dollars, and I had product left over that took an additional 9 months for me to use. I vowed never to join such a company again. It wasn't that the company was bad; it was just difficult to sell, and honestly, I never did fully understand the compensation plan to begin with.
In 2007 I came across a different network marketing company. Jerky Direct. At first, I didn't even know it was an MLM! I had ordered some product from a girl in a shopping group I belonged to. Within seconds of receiving my first shipment, it was gone. (Unfortunately, hubby was home at the time.) Since the price was good, and the quality was excellent, the following month I ordered more in another shopping group I belonged to, from a different distributor. We couldn't keep the stuff in the house! I had heard about the autoship program they offered, and then started to investigate it. I found out that it was an MLM, but I was confused. In my experience, MLM companies had difficult payout scales, and all sorts of qualifications and minimum purchases to get paid. Jerky Direct did not. It was so simple! You got paid from your very first sale and very first person you sponsored. And all that was required was buying 2 bags of jerky a month! I kept looking for the loophole, looking for the catch, but there was none. So thats why I joined. And when I explained it all to my husband, for the first time in all my money making adventures, he was interested. Very interested. He now sells the jerky, retail, at roadside stands, farmer's markets and the like. We can help you get started with that too. All in all, I'm so glad we found Jerky Direct. It has helped to make our dreams, travel across the USA on a permanent basis, possible. ~Rayven. More Information:Please Note: No portion of this website should be construed as a promise of earnings.
