Network Marketing for Dummies - How to Spot a Scam

Most stories about getting involved in a network marketing business start out the same. A recruit is approached by someone they know well; perhaps a friend or neighbor. The friend has just joined an opportunity with some type of network marketing company, for example, a health and wellness opportunity. They rave about the products, and talk about how much money they will be able to make by growing their business just a little bit.

The recruit's interest is piqued. Eventually, he or she decides that it would be nice to have a bit of extra cash, for what seems to be very little. And a network marketer is born. Enter a slew of information about "network marketing for dummies," found all over the internet: "Is this opportunity a scam? The real deal?" Most novice network marketers will start to wonder if they have made a big mistake.

Most of these new network marketers have never been in business or sales, and the idea of beginning a home-based business is quite appealing. But, unfortunately, often times the opportunity isn't as "easy" as it once seemed. And the new recruit is left wondering if he or she has been "had" by a company preying on the likes of him or her.

Network Marketing for Dummies: The Basics of a Scam

Unfortunately, scams do exist. Pyramid schemes are the most popular of all of the "scams" out there. A pyramid scheme exists when a company pays representatives money for each person they recruit into the company; commissions are purely based on how many people one can add into the opportunity (and pay the investment fee, of course), and not based at all on the actual sales of the product.

A network marketing opportunity is not a scam, however, if its compensation plan is based on actual sales of representatives. While it's true that many companies face bad press and poor reputations for their "Sign up, it's easy!" attitude, few are sued for this type of behavior. Unfortunately, this is an attitude promoted by reps who are desperate to increase their downline.

So, if an opportunity isn't a scam, how can a novice network marketer get out of his or her rut? Network marketing for dummies tools are located all over the web to help network marketers. But the tools that will truly make a difference in the success or failure of an opportunity involve learning how to generate warm leads, and craft perfect pitches to turn prospects into recruits. These tools include utilizing SEO, driving traffic to an opt-in page on your own website, and using ever-changing social media tools to spread the word about your opportunity.

Starting A Foundation For Dummies

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]

Can you recommend an Accounting book "for dummies"?

I'm majoring in accounting but just started with my core (accounting) courses and am having trouble understanding the way my books are written etc. I heard from other people (with different majors) that the "for dummies" books help to create a foundation for understanding the text books. I was wondering if anyone could recommend that book or another.

Thanks.

Dolch Words: How Dummies Teach Reading

I never stop being amazed: some public schools are still pushing Sight Words and Dolch Words. This is highly irresponsible.

Whole Word rarely works. It expects children to memorize words as graphic designs, which is exceedingly difficult to do.

Please note, there is nothing special about our words that makes them easy to memorize. Memorizing 1000 sight-words is comparable to memorizing 1000 paintings, flags, cars, monuments, or movie stars. Indeed, memorizing English sight-words is probably more difficult than memorizing all these other categories of objects. 

I’m always trying to think up quick ways to explain this difficulty, especially to young parents. I believe I’ve got a good one here. As a thought experiment, let’s think of the 100 people you know best. We’ll put their pictures in a projector and flash them randomly on the screen at one per second. Do you think you will be able to name them at that pace? First names are good enough.

Keep in mind that we’re talking about only 100 names; these are the people you know best in the whole world; and presumably there are lots of differences to jar your memory--gender, age, hair color. And one per second is slower than reading speed. But I’ll bet you won’t be able to name those pictures, no, not even for a minute or two. 

Memory is capricious. A person you know can come into the room, and your mind goes blank. You turn to somebody and say, “Uh, you know, that guy in accounting...What’s his name?” Happens all the time, right? But during those blank seconds, a lot of pictures flash by.

Now let’s suppose it’s not your favorite 100 people, it’s just 100 people. And you have to memorize their names to the point where you have instant recall of 100 strangers. Doesn’t that sound like a tremendous amount of work? But this is basically the task thrown at little children in first grade, when they are shown their first Dolch List.

Do you know what happens? Many children master the material only in a half-baked way, but the teachers pretend the students can “read” and pass them along. Many children just give up, because very quickly it becomes evident that 100 words is only the beginning. The teachers clearly expect this process to go on and on and on.

So now, to put this in the terms of the thought experiment, suppose you have to memorize the names of 500 strangers, then 1,000 strangers... Seriously, do you think you could do this? Ever? Or you would even attempt to do this?

Bottom line, if you have a photographic memory, you might be able to do it. But no ordinary child could. And 1,000 is still only the BEGINNING. Basic literacy in English requires that you know at least 5,000 to 10,000 words. 

Do you have some sense now of how hopeless this project is? Even if you could memorize a few hundred names per year, you would still be illiterate all the way through high school.

Meanwhile, children who learn Phonics can read real books in the second and third grades. Phonics is basically a big bag of mnemonic devices to help you recognize what you are looking at. To put it in the terms of our thought experiment, it’s as if our photographs have initials in the corner  or nicknames or post-it notes. The memory needs all the help it can get.

 Whole Word is impractical because it relies 100% on information you can retain indefinitely in your brain. You are always on your own, whether it’s a picture of that old friend from high school or a new word such as fahitw. You have the names in your brain or you don’t. Phonics might be described as user-friendly--there are lots of clues and reminders to help you along. Whole Word is user-hostile. It’s a method, I’m convinced, perpetrated by insensitive dummies.
