My Journey As A Recovering MLM Junkie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"recovering<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hi everybody, my name is Miko. I am a\u00a0recovering mlm junkie<\/em>! Let Me Tell You My Story (Read Below)<\/strong>– Mike Mikovich (Miko)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first meeting was simple. A guy was talking about how you could earn money off your telephone bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t connect with it then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But But that phrase stuck with me: residual income. Man, I chased that high because I was a recovering mlm junkie chasing a dream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man, I chased that residual income high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, I tried a bunch of them. Not several – A BUNCH. Health and wellness programs. The $50 distributor kit. The tapes on how to pass out business cards. And it had to be marketing approved by the company, so that cost extra money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried every “Network Marketing for Dummies” book. Every Zig Ziglar book I could get my hands on. I just wanted to feel success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to be that person they talked about on stage. Cashing the check. Doing the MLM dance. Running with the crowd, shaking hands. I wanted to become an MLM rockstar. I wanted people to say, “Man, you changed my life.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the trainings? They were all the same. But I loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Go make a list of 100 people you want to talk to.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the internet came around and all these beautiful programs were popping up left and right. All beautiful. “You can make residual income from the comfort of your own home!” All these companies were giving you their replicated website. “Just send it to people, you’re gonna get signups fast!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then it was the same thing: “You still need to reach out to your friends and family. People you know. Your coworkers. The 3-foot rule.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I really learned? A lot of it was BS. Because you know what? That doesn’t work long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the companies I tried – Nu Skin, Reliv, Herbalife a few times, Shaklee a few times. I had that dream to make money, but I knew I wasn’t going to make it doing programs like that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Video That Pissed Me Off (And Then Woke Me Up)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One day I was watching a video. At first, I did not like this guy. Not that I didn’t like him personally – I thought he was funny as hell – but I thought he was just bashing programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now I see what he was doing. He was telling the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: You don’t need to go on Facebook or TikTok and do a dance to try to go viral. You just need to produce VALUE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you produce value? You don’t put on some zesty slogan every morning by joining 100 business groups and posting the same crap. That doesn’t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then one of my buddies told me about a program that teaches you how to market correctly by blogging, getting ranked in Google, and eventually buying ads. 100% commissions. But they also taught you how to GROW the money you’re making and make it work for yourself, so you can actually walk away from The MLM Matrix and all the other nonsense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My Truth Right Now<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I got bit by the AI bug a little bit, cause I like to use pictures and stuff like that to add to my blogs. But I write my own blogs. The only thing I might use AI for is just to clean it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 years ago, I was 400 pounds. I’ve lost 160 pounds so far. But one of the effects of being that obese is I had heart surgery. I was dead for three minutes. My heart stopped for three minutes. You can still see where they zapped me to bring me back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So sometimes I have to use AI to help correct my patterns. But that’s it. I make some videos, I make some pictures, but that’s about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t rely on AI voice. I don’t rely on automatic replies because that stuff doesn’t work. If I have my prospects hear from me, then let them hear ME. You can’t hear the passion from a computer. AI does not create passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was introduced to this system and I’m starting to learn to blog again and it’s starting to get ranked again. It’s simple and it’s easy. I no longer have to try to figure out what to do. Now I know what to do and where to place it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I finally found ONE system I’ve been looking for. It’s the only system I’m going to be promoting besides one other program. The wellness MLMs are over. The MLM crypto schemes, the AI games, there’s a lot out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to share with you what works NOW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If You’re Where I Was…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re tired of selling shakes and stuff that doesn’t last long. If you’ve noticed that a lot of people don’t stay in programs very long. If you’re tired of the fly-by-night programs where some person launches one program and three weeks later they’re launching another one offering all these bells and whistles… that money grab BS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those days are over for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s what I want you to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to\u00a0mikeymiko.com<\/a>\u00a0– just put in your name and email and watch the 30 minute video. and then Call The Number On The Page<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you have any questions, you can go to the top of the page and talk to the owner of the company. He will answer any questions for you. What company does that for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can learn 100% commissions. Learn how to blog correctly. Learn how to market correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how you can actually make money from home the right way. And we help each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk soon,
Mike Mikovich<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

But that phrase stuck with me: residual income. Man, I chased that high because I was a recovering mlm junkie chasing a dream But Now We Have A Solution<\/p>\n\n\n\n
