So Just What Is The Trump Network?

While not a huge fan of MLM’s, I am intrigued by them. I recently found a website that ranks network marketing companies by how they have been performing recently. Looks like they use website traffic statistics to determine whether an MLM is on gaining or losing popularity. One of those companies that has seen a large gain recently is, “The Trump Network”.

So when you see the name, “Trump” in something…you gotta look a little further, right?  This is a man who pretty much has it all, so it’s easy to wonder “why” he would have created a network marketing company?  But…who am I to question his motives?

The Trump Network promotes health, wellness & weight loss products.  Best I can tell from the website, it looks like at this time, it’s about $48 to join which gets you the “Marketer Kit”.  I honestly don’t have a lot of details on the compensation plan as it appears you’ve got to request additional information to find out exactly how everything works.  Their website doesn’t provide a ton of details.

If you’re thinking this is a “Trump network scam”,  I wouldn’t be quite so hasty to jump to that conclusion.  Think about it…this is Donald Trump.  His  name, face and videos of him speaking to everyone are plastered all over the website.  I find it hard to believe that someone of his status would be perpetrating some kind of scam?  You may not agree with how network marketing works, but I don’t think I’d call this a pyramid scam.

Like any network marketing company, they recommend you start out by telling your family and friends about it.  I don’t know about you but I absolutely “hate” the thought of doing that!  You’re out here calling on people you haven’t talked to in years, and as soon as they hear you utter the words “opportunity”, they start thinking…”old Bob has gone and got mixed up in some crazy pyramid scheme”!  At that point…they don’t even want to hear what you have to say.

Well wouldn’t you much rather promote a product to people that are actually interested in what you are selling?  Wouldn’t that make life much easier?  And lets face it…you may have a huge family and tons of friends…but you’re eventually going to run out of people to sell to.  These are reasons why I recommend you promote your network marketing via the internet.  And thats easier said than done if you’re not an internet wiz.  There is a science to promoting your business on the web.  There are lots of ways to advertise…sometimes that advertising costs money but many times it’s free!  Thats what I’m talking about!

If having the “entire world” as your list of prospects sounds exciting, (and it should), then you absolutely must get your business on the web.  The best and easiest way to do this is typically NOT what your company recommends.  They aren’t in the internet business.  No the best and easiest way is to go with someone who has already put together a complete “internet system” that makes it a snap to get on the web and start getting leads quickly!  If you’re like most people, you don’t have months to wait around on the leads and income to start rolling in.  You need something to happen fast!  A proven internet business guru with proven strategies will take the frustration out of the web and will likely be the best investment you can make at this point.

Best of luck to you and if you ever have questions that I can help with, don’t be afraid to ask!

  10. Can’t understand why anyone would pay for that when there are so many good affiliate-type programs available for free.

  12. I guess it’s just like those common networking which endorses their product personally with the ones they’ve known…I also would not think that it is a scam but one should always bear in mind that we are not that secure of whom we are dealing in the web…we must have to be wise…

  14. I agree with you about the prospect that you have to start selling “stuff” to your nearest and dearest that they might not really need. It doesn’t feel right to me to have to conjure up enthusiasm for something that I don’t really have enthusiasm for. However, if the product was one I really believed would benefit their lives, I would be interested in trying MLM for sure. I guess it’s just a case of finding something that you believe in.

Tell me what you're thinking...
