Professional and ethical network marketing

As I tell my prospective clients: "I am an independent representative of MCA and I am a customer."

True, a person can sell a product/service without using it but it is folly to do so. Knowledge of the product/service through first hand experience is the only way to go.

Okay Mr. Todd, I understand
If you include the name of your program from the beginning, I would have to answer relevant.

Thank you for sharing.

Honest ways

You are going in the opposite direction of the question, The question was about programs or services. Marketers Coop is a service, MySafelistBiz is a program.

Training baseball is a product.

Do you understand the difference?

Mr. Todd,
If your intent is MLM, then it's true. But you do not get stuck that products can be promoted only to the extent that the program looks for referrals.

If I want to promote "training baseball" then I make a review and put your affiliate links there. Was previously I should try first?

This is truly marketing strategy

I. Badrudin, I am an affiliate of getmoneytoday it's a great program, but I have never tried the program but I would like you to signup, spend your money on it, find out it is a scam or just a junk program, You lose your money. Now the next time I send you a program or product are you going to sign up? answer is NO!

The point to the question is why would you associate your name to a scam or junk program. In doing that you are setting yourself up to fail and never be trusted.

Now a days there

You are right Penny,
If your intent is copy writing, then there should be no testimony that customers trust and coming.
But if the question is to promote affiliate products, then one does not need to try it first. As long as he understands the product, it is good.

Absolutely not! How can you expect your customers or prospects to buy what your not willing to buy yourself? It doesn't matter what you are promoting you should be a walking testimonial of what the program, product or service has done for you. That is what creates sales and duplication.

I used to consider myself a freak when making a review for a product. Though I've never used it, it's like lying to the public is not! :). I asked some masters, "this is a marketing strategy"
