BellaOnline Forums Career Business Coach MLM vs selling products

I've decided to investigate a theory of mine. I have selected several healthy living products that I use, like and support. I've found tho that I can get traffic to my blog, my website pages about products and even to my product sites, but only get occasional sales.

I decided to create an online store and select various products from each product line and see if people are more comfortable just purchasing products than "joining" something or becoming a preferred customer.

Do you think some people are uncomfortable purchasing from MLM's, even if they sign up as a preferred customer and purchase retail?

I've had an ecrater store for a while but didn't promote it much. I just got a sale from it this weekend tho so decided to add more products and really promote it as an alternative to purchasing off my product MLM replicator sites.

ecrater is free to sign up for. Has anyone tried any other store options they like? ecrater seems pretty easy to use. You can also get html from it to post on a website or blog that displays your products in various banner sizes.

Here's a link to my ecrater store

Sounds interesting.

I agree that sometimes selling products is a better idea. I've found too that sometimes people shy away from "biz ops". If you have a good product and it's priced reasonably, you should be able to interest people in it.

I agree. Most people don't want to invest a bunch of money into something they'd rather just buy what they want and get on with life.

That very interesting Joan. I have never really thought much about it, but yes it does make sense. Can't wait to hear how the change goes for your business.
