Web designers nyc
Right out of college, I was ready to get into something, anything. One day, my buddy at the time “invited” me to an after hour gathering at his apartment. As I walked in, I saw his big smile and “hey buddy” with a bunch of people in the background looking at pill bottles listening carefully to my buddy’s girlfriend who was wearing shorts with a tube top.
Yes, it was one of those MLM group meetings for new sign ups.
It was a lot of talking about making 6 digits together. I tried a few products and under peer pressure I signed up for the sliver package which cost $5,000 for “just enough” products to try myself and to demo.
After about 1 month, I noticed some weight loss on myself and with social pressure from my buddy, we were hitting the gym every day, doing abs exercise while signing up newbies to build our pyramid.
With all of this going on, adrenaline was running through my body, I really thought I would be making 6 digits that year. With all that socializing, I started noticing how little was my “upline” doing for online marketing as the local communities have been saturated by my buddy’s fame. I needed a different way to promote myself and the weight loss products “I” carried.
While chewing on the chocolate protein bars and sipping the energized green tea, I came across some web design websites. I started looking into online marketing and some New York marketing firms. With my buddy’s big smile and big abs in the back of my head, I wanted to explore a new territory and believed that the internet is my only way out. I started applying for part time work to learn from one of top nyc web designer at the time.
I then built my very first web pages. New York web designers that I worked for didn’t quite like it but it was satisfying for what I needed to do. Yet, there was so much restriction on how to present the product. Due to my upline’s jealousy or something that they asked to shut down my website.
Obviously, my MLM experience was a failure. What I learned from this experience is that, even though a product works like magic, or it is the best product on the planet, without proper branding and website marketing, this product won’t sell. My buddy probably ends up owning a dream house with a big swimming pool in Texas. He had the right products at the right time, his face and body was the branding of it, his marketing strategy (staying 24/7 at the gym, approaching mid-aged overweight women at the supermarket, etc.) works for MLM.
