Why Has The Free Franchise Concept Taken The Online World With Such A Storm?

By: Don Keith

When one realizes the phenomenal growth of some of the Free Franchise systems since early 2006, the question of "Why?" often comes to mind. Well, as with most new phenomena, there is more than one good reason and I'm sure I haven't identified them all but here is what I believe to be the "big" reason for this growth explosion.



The idea of a free franchise for online business building has addressed a large and obvious need in the Network Marketing, Multi-level marketing or MLM industry. There are more than one of these systems where they provide a proven step-by-step type of franchise system for marketing almost any product or service successfully online using the internet. Following a generic proven process of online marketing allows almost any distributorship or MLM to work successfully for the "average Jane or Joe" without the age old "dread" of having to "take it" first to ones friends and family.



A few years ago the movie Pay It Forward demonstrated the value of investing today in people and resources and then making them available for free to benefit the lives of others. It's a little different slant on the old theme of "we reap what we sow". This principle of "paying it forward" ie: investing today in people with the expectation that the good fruits will return to you in the future has boomed online since early 2006.



Those who have started these free franchises have invested thousands of dollars and hours and then taken their finely tuned success system with vast resources of training and made it available to the masses for FREE. They could have charged large fees for their system and training as most traditional franchises do, but instead, they have chosen to "pay it forward" (using the movie's terminology). The results are seen in an amazing growth within these franchises as people from all kinds of different businesses start to learn and use these systems as the vehicle for growing their existing business or starting a new one online.



When one starts poking around in the free members areas of most of these systems, it is almost overwhelming. There is such a vast array of live and recorded training, member forum activities, tools and resources. These are available to help one learn and use the system to realize profits that can then be used to fund your business's accelerated growth. The main thing that prevents it all from being overwhelming is the clear and straight forward step-by-step or "paint by numbers" system they use to walk you through the learning curve.



There are hundreds of companies that use the MLM approach to marketing their goods or services because of the low start-up costs and quick to market results that often accompany that venue. The appeal of MLM to the millions who would love to become independent and "take their job and shove it" is well known. Equally well known however is the traditional (and VERY unappealing) approach of trying to take the "opportunity" first to friends and family (commonly referred to as your warm market).



What the developers of these free franchise systems have done, is to provide a system to train and educate the average person (including those with minimal computer or internet experience) in successful internet marketing without any out of pocket cost for the training and sometimes personal mentoring. With these new skills in hand, the "newbie" starting out can get their business up and running and profitable before they ever go talk to their friends and neighbors about "the opportunity" or their products or services. In fact the systems are designed so that you really never need to talk with any one until they have already responded to an impersonal online invitation and thereby shown an interest and asked for more information.



When a person starts with a proven online marketing system, they are directed to the top productivity tools on the internet. These are among the very best in their class - proven over time by the system developers. While the tools do cost money, with many of them, there is also an affiliate or commission program that can also earn cash to put into or "fund" the promotion of one's main business. This quicker cash flow that then funds the building of the main or primary business is why the systems are often called "funded proposals".



By making small amounts of cash with business building resources like website domain and hosting, lead generation, networking, traffic and advertising tools or services, the online business person then has fresh cash to "fund" the growth of their primary business. These systems not only point the uninitiated to the best tools and services, they often provide audio and video training on the best and most effective ways to use them. The developers have really taken thousands of dollars worth of trial and error out of the process of building a business on the web if a person follows the proven system.



I have been very impressed at the number that really "tell it like it is". With the best of these, you are warned that if you are looking for that ever evasive "silver bullet" that will solve all of your problems without any expense or effort then you need to look elsewhere. These successful (and sometimes multi-millionaire mentors) actually tell you that you have to invest your time, talent and resources and be patient and persistent if you want to be successful.



They give you training, point you to the tools, programs and techniques that are proven to help you in the process, but they also regularly "hammer home" the principle that there "is no free lunch". Success comes as a result of a burning desire, determined effort and your own actual ACTION.



Would you like to work at home or work from home and be your own boss? Are you tired of all the hype - the "make a million in minutes while sipping your pina colada" sales pitches and the "quick easy money" seductions (because you've tried them and lost both time and money)? If so, then one of these free franchises for building your existing business online (or starting a new one) might be just right for you.



Because they are free, you can register and then go look at the steps. Listen to the training, ask questions of other members in the forum if they have one and decide (with no pressure) if you really are willing to work and invest in a realistic and proven way to gain your future financial freedom. If you are, you might be the path you will want to follow is one where you have the benefits of a proven franchise but where the system and training are free. Take some time and check them out - it may change your future dramatically.
