The MLM Company Website belongs to the MLM company and not you. You could spend many hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars promoting your MLM opportunity and collecting valuable leads. If you use the MLM replicated website to collect email addresses and names they are going on the MLM company’s list and not yours.
You could wake up one morning and find your MLM company has gone out of business and with it your list of prospects. It has happened and I’m sure it will happen again. Alternatively you could find yourself in a dispute over something with your MLM and they deny you access to the MLM replicated website and your MLM back office. Again, your prospect list has disappeared and that’s your business.
If you OWN your own website and prospect list, your hard work has not been in vain. You can pick up and start over at the drop of a hat. I know it’s a pain. But you still have your list and I’m sure you’ve all heard the saying ‘The Money is in the List. Imagine how much harder it would be to start you MLM business over WITHOUT your list
