IMO everyone flooding online means the money is OFFline.
I was chatting to a guy who had just started in a new MLM. In one month he had 28 people under him simply by phoning people he knew, and he was asking me how he could get into internet marketing. I was shocked!
I told him to stick with what was working!
As you say online make money is a crowded marketplace, probably a bubble, and so the less trendy option is probably where the profits are at.
I work an MLM both online and offline, and more of my money comes from the offline work because it duplicates better there.
Martin,
Great story and insight! Internet marketing, IMO, is simply MLM done online. I know, I generalise things – but from my experience, I totally agree that if you are successful in off line MLM, you only need to learn basic tools to ace Internet Marketing.
“I work an MLM both online and offline, and more of my money comes from the offline work because it duplicates better there.” – yes, Internet marketing products life are, IMO, short compared to MLM.
