Do You Know Five People?

I'm sure you do, you probably know far more. And it would probably surprise you who you know by association.

Do you remember the movie 'Six Degrees of Separation'? Will Smith starred as someone who claimed to be the son of the famous actor Sydney Poitier, but wasn't. What the story did highlight was that each person you know is one step from knowing a far greater number of people and six steps, or degrees, from knowing everyone on the planet.

And it can go very far very quickly. In 1987 I holidayed in New England and whilst in Kennebunkport, a lovely coastal town, we met a couple who used to live in Warrington and we stayed with them in their b&b. The point of knowing the couple was that the President of the United States has a residence in Kennebunkport, so the chances of me knowing someone who knows someone who knows the President is very high!

So, you may be thinking, what has this got to do with Internet Marketing? Quite a lot, actually.

One of the main ways you will make money with a home-based internet business is by residual income. That is money you earn, usually on a monthly basis, from one original action. An example of this would be to enroll someone into your downline and when they stay in your downline you earn a commission each month they remain.

Now one person will not make you very wealthy, but what if you know five people? And what if they know five people? And what if those five people know five people each? Now do you see why that question was asked at the beginning?

Very soon you have a downline in the thousands and your commissions are very high indeed.

Important note of caution: Pyramid selling.

What I have just outlined is what a pyramid seller offers, and the important thing to do is check out the company you are dealing with. Pyramid selling is illegal. Genuine businesses are members of the Better Business Bureau or similar organisations.

It is very important to know who you are dealing with.

With OnlineSalesSuccess you are dealing with businesses who I have researched and vetted, that have a track record of several years and are members of BBB.

Yours in Online Sales Success
