Before Joining Web Prosperity, there are some things you should know.

#1 - Who are you going to join under, who will your sponsor be?

Picking a sponsor for any type of MLM program like WebProsperity is almost as crucial to your success as the validity and sustainability of the program itself.  If you pick a sponsor who doesn't have the capabilities to train you and the rest of his/her team, then you're going to be facing an uphill battle with your average MLM program.

Not everyone has a big list they can mail out to, so when a sponsor tells you they're team is growing super-fast and to get in now, well, they're correct in saying that, but also wrong.

The average sponsor wants you to get in sooner rather than later so you can enjoy their spillover referrals, but if you join later, after taking a week or two to decide whether or not you want to join for free, then you're slipping further and further down in the referral system and matrix.  Therefore you'll be susceptible to less spillover because you'll have less knowledgeable marketers above you in your downline. This is typical of MLM programs, where it's usually the fast movers who benefit the most.

So my point here is that you need to pick a sponsor who can help you increase your downlines and referrals without a list. 

Let's face facts here.  Not everyone has a list, or even a responsive list, so getting new referrals will be the main issue facing not only the johnny-come-latelys of the MLM world, but it is also an issue for those who signed up right away.

#2- The second thing that could hurt you about joining WebProsperity or any other MLM program.

Does your team or sponsor have a plan for doing group marketing?  Is there any plans in store for co-operative solo ad mailings or co-operative PPC campaigns?

As I mentioned earlier, MLM programs and MLM teams are only as good as the sustainability of the team, it's members, and the program itself.

In this Web Prosperity Review you'll notice that I've been burned by MLM programs in the past, even while doing pretty well with them, so I know that management and helping team members succeed is the ultimate way to ensure that everyone in your team succeeds.

My predictions are already coming true about this.  There are a lot of people who are somewhat new or inexperienced with marketing on the internet who are merely trying to figure out what it is they really want to to online.  Then, when they realize that a good opportunity is sitting in front of them, they don't know what to do first.

If and when they decide to take action, what is to be done first, build a site, a squeeze page, write autoresponder messages, get backlinks to their new site, find a good blog theme for their site etc...

Then, when the momentum gets going for them the experience some learning curve hiccups and push themselves to overcome those.  And when all is said and done, they worked their butt off for 2-3 days just to get 5 or 6 signups. 

When it comes to getting in on hot new launches, it pays to be a first mover.  However, the success or failure of your team depends on your team, especially with MLM programs like WebProsperity.  If you don't take care of your team and help them do more good things right away, then your base will suffer, and if your base suffers, then the team leader will start to see some attrition rates, and then the program starts to lose its steam. 

This is why I am not a big fan of MLM programs.  It seems to draw out the hype-driven ads and emails and blog posts, while it's the "newbies" who are left holding the bad trying to prop up the leaders.

The typical leaders will smugly state they got 150 signups in 2 days, and it might be true of they had a list or knew how to slap together a real nice page for promotion via PayPerclick marketing prior to the launch.

Do you know what happens to the cost of the Google Adwords clicks once everyone starts using PPC to advertise their sites?

Well, the price goes up and up because everyone is trying to outbid each other for top spots.  So when the cost per click goes up and the launch has already passed, we all know that the conversion rate for new signups is highest while the hype is still overwhelming, so after the launch, the newcomer to the downline is faced with higher PPC costs for clicks going to pages that don't convert as well as they used to.

Maybe that sounds like a negative way of looking at things, but that's exactly what happens before, during, and after product launches, especially with new MLM launches like WebProsperity.

The best thing for team leaders to do is to be conscious about what they say to their team members. 

As a team leader you should teach your team members how to build sites of their own and not just try to promote the program via their affiliate link.  A lot of these MLM programs and network marketing programs offer their people self-replicated sites to promote.

What makes people succeed in business, especially online businesses?

One good way to succeed is to differentiate yourself from everyone else so you stand out.  The MLM leaders you see promoting via Pay-per-click are using custom-made pages they created themselves and they can also boast that they have the hottest team in the program, like anyone can verify that.

The point is they got on board early knowing full well what they were going to do.  Once an MLM leader decides to promote a program, they go full-bore with it, and hopefully start helping their team members afterwards.

The best thing for team members to do is realize they won't get 200 signups in a day unless they have a list or incredible pay-per-click marketing and copywriting skills.

My suggestion to those who are involved with the WebProsperity product launch or any other program launch for that matter, is to ascertain where you are in the food chain.

• Are you a leader helping others? Then remember to have a plan for your team to succeed.
• Are you brand new and don't know where to start to get sign-ups of your own?  Well, hopefully you have a leader that will help you out with that.
• Are you halfway in between and just need a little help?  This is the category that most people fall into.  You can probably build a site and have seen enough marketing promotion on the web to do fairly well for yourself.  With a little help and advertising and promotion, you will succeed with any program you work on.
