G'day me Aussie Mates,

I'm just getting back in the saddle so to speak, I have a couple of companies to promote, I've been with these for a good number of years and even when I was not promoting the companies, I was still using their products. One of the companies was and is, GDI, I have been very ill for over a year and now that I'm feeling better, I'm getting back to my MLM things.
I have just finished publishing a club site for we MLM'ers, if you join me, you can promote your GDI URL from within the club site.
As the site is so new and uses frames, there are no members just yet so I thought I would invite a bunch of fellow Aussies to join me before offering the site to all comers, you can join for “free” and if interested, upgrade to a paid member later but you can stay a free member if you wish, anyway! I'm still working on things and would appreciate your ideas and any criticism you may have of the club site.

Wishing you every success in your MLM efforts,

Bill Whiteside

PS. If you would like to check-out the club site, The Downline Power Club, drop me a line and I’ll send the URL to you.

G'day mates in MLM,

I was with GDI and two other MLM based companies several years back but I had to resign due to ill health, first with my wife then I too became ill. As I was seriously ill I could not use my computer or the net, anyway, I had more important things to think about at that time.
When I was released from hospital and my health improved, I decided to get myself another ISP and "try" to generate an income from MLM again... So starting from scratch I rejoined two of the companies I had been with before my bout of ill health, the third company, I found out later, has been renamed, but I had already found another long standing health company with a great reputation to take the place of the old health company and I plan on staying with and promoting them!

I had been with those first three companies since, 1, 2000, 2, 2004 and the health company #3, 20001 and I did use the three companies products, then a mystery illness hit me in Sep' 2006, after that I had a massive heart attack at the end of Jan' 2007 and was hospitalised for a procedure, I was released from hospital at the end of Feb' 2007 and I did not feel well enough to get a new ISP and get back online till Nov' 2007.
Once I got back online what was the first thing I did? I went and joined the companies I had been with "before" I became ill!
Anyway this saga is about MLM and promoting MLM programs so here's what I found.
Back in 2004 I bought a cgi script that would let me run my own downline club, I listed the programs I was with and started promoting my downline club URL and I did manage to recruit a couple of hundred members but...Not "one" of those members followed me into any of the Business Building Programs I had listed in my club!
The products I was promoting are great products that are in demand world wide, the monthly fees were very reasonable and I was using and recommending the products! But no-one would walk in my footsteps!

Okay! So what did I do? I dropped the club, dumped the members list and stopped promoting the club and the products but I continued to use the products myself...till I became ill, so I had been using those companies products for over five years...from 2000, up till I became ill in 2006!

When I got back online in Nov' 2007, I rejoined the companies because they all have great product which I use, I know these products are used by millions world wide and after five years or more of dealing with the companies, I know the companies are honest and above board.
I updated my downline membership script and published the script to a new domain I registered for that purpose and I am working on a few other sites (community site) for the members of my downline club, I want to build a MLM community where people/members can earn an income, can correspond with each other, share pictures and ideas with each other and more but... I feel I have little chance of success.

In the past, before I became ill, I had a couple of hundred members in my club...I wanted those members to take the easy way to making money in MLM by following me into the programs I "knew" to be honest and had in-demand world wide products but
Each and every one of my members wanted to promote a "Pay Your $25 And Become A Gazillion air Overnight"!
I got pretty fed-up receiving emails from members stating,

Bill, I have just found this great program, it's in prelaunch at present and will only cost you $25 or whatever to get in! This is going to be gigantic Bill, you don't have to do any promoting, no meetings, no phone calls, you just pay the money and reap millions! So let’s promote it to all the members so as they get in early!

Needless to say, I did "not" promote any of those rip-off programs to my club members but I did join two of them so that I could give an honest report to my members, with one I got in early and got my $25 back but that was all, with the second, I paid my $25 but got nothing in return! Anyway, I found most people "want" to believe the BS that says they can pay $25 or whatever and make millions by doing no work of any kind, just get one or two friends to join the program!

And so I don't hold much hope of people believing me when I say that making money from MLM is easy and fun, they only need to be prepared to "invest" around $1.50US per day in "their" future, follow me into two programs that I have been with for five years and they will be well on their way to MLM success! But too many people have the “Do Nothing” BS mentality on making an income online...and that’s a great pity!

Sorry for the long rambling post, I wish you one and all great success in your efforts to be successful with MLM.
