ACN state they are the largest direct seller of telecommunications in the world, is this truth, hype or even an ACN scam? Today's article highlights ACN on whether this is in fact a good legitimate network marketing business opportunity or not.

ACN was created in 1993 by Greg Provenzano & Robert Stevanovski. They initially ventured out trying to provide a cost saving option for services similar to house and office phone lines. The co-founders understood that attempting to compete alongside some of the other big telecommunication networks would not only be a huge task but also charge thousands if not millions in advertising charges just to be a presence within the industry.

Network Marketing had been launched to the world a few decades prior with businesses like Tupperware and Nutrilite so it made perfect sense to work with this proven marketing system to expand the organisation. MLM has always been a concern to people who do not know the industry so it was not long for the question to be asked is ACN scam? By giving a low cost but quality service saw ACN grow and grow at a quick speed. Within the first year the business recieved revenues of two million dollars . By 1998, ACN was listed in 'Inc. 500' magazine as No. 22 in this annual list of the 500 fastest growing private businesses in America. ACN expanded its operations to Europe in 1999 and then to Australia in 2004. It now operates in 20 countries on 3 major continents. By 2006 the business had grew to such a height it gained interest and endorsement by billionaire Donald Trump.

ACN have added extra products and services over the years like Mobile Phones, Internet, Satellite TV, Home Security and most recently the Videophone (VOIP), all of which have great low-cost and competitive pay packages which appeals to customers.

ACN has very good credentials, endorsement and foundations so I think we can safely say "is ACN Scam - NO!" although will it seriously make you the income it claims it would? MLM has at times had a stigma attached advising network marketing is just like a pyramid scheme and will not carry through the enormous income promises that is stated when signing up. Unluckily ACN has not escaped that stigma and in 2004 the company's Austrailian branch had a formal investgation advising breaches of the trade practices act 1974 regarding the provisions in the act relating to pyramid schemes. Luckily the courts were in favour of ACN and the MLM moved on.

You may possibly hear the occasional argument that ACN scam unexpected people although people who state this would generally talk this way about any MLM company, the general reason maybe because they have struggled to generate a adequate income from it. The reality is that most MLM's propose huge great payment plans and ACN is no different. The possibility is great and has made normal everyday people millionaires! Kick starting your network marketing business ought to be simple, you want just a few associates to start with however you may well end up finding this the biggest, challenging experience you will face within this industry. Many of the traditional methods i.e. speaking to friends and family, doing home presentations, delivering leaflets, chasing leads etc etc do not work for everyone (I speak from experience), most associates may leave within the first 6 months and then maintain that MLM does not work.

The answer to expanding your MLM is a range of marketing strategies. Quitting cannot be a alternative, there is a way to make ACN and all other business's work although you must go on searching for a solution. I initially marketed offline completing weekly hotel presentations for months with not much success, my up line made around $15,000 each month however I just couldn't get my warm market to take action, every person loved the business model but nobody was entrepreneurial enough to really make this work. I did not resign and instead looked for a solution.

The internet is a fantastic way to help any MLM business grow, by using easy attraction marketing strategies I discovered online marketing will permit me to have interested and qualified people coming to me requesting more information about my MLM business opportunity instead of me chasing them. This proven method permits you to contact people from all over the world and can be much more useful than traditional methods. Online marketing also allows networkers chance to produce an income from those who even say NO to ACN or whatever business your market with. Learning the right strategies are key and could kick start your MLM today online. Many more network marketers are turning to the internet as a way of marketing which has produced great results for lots of people. Some might say Internet marketing is the present day marketing method where as traditional methods are exactly that 'traditional' (oldskool) i’ll leave it to you to decide.
