You’re Ready To Quit Your MLM. Now What?

Recently, someone I respect in another network marketing company posted a Facebook Live where she was interviewing a top earner in the industry. I figured the person she interviewed was from her company since she was always sharing income claims and success stories from them. I was wrong. She was interviewing someone from another MLM entirely. I thought, “oh…I never thought she’d leave her old company. She talked so highly about them. I wonder what made her switch network marketing companies.”

Truth is, if you’ve been around the MLM market for long enough, then you probably know at least one person who has left one company for another. In some cases, an entire downline exits and starts over. It usually begins with one person looking for greener pastures and, when they think they’ve found it, convincing others on their team to join them. A lot of times breaking away from one MLM company to join another leaves their old business partners angry and that’s (sometimes) when the public mudslinging begins.

If you’re thinking about leaving your current MLM for a new opportunity and want to avoid the drama, there are a few things you can do.

Before I dig into the tips you need to leave your MLM gracefully, I want to clear the air. Leaving your MLM is not treason. It’s not a terrible thing and it’s not the end of the world. Let’s compare network marketing to a job. Most people do not spend their entire lives working one job. They find a job they like or one that pays the bills and then, as they grow and mature, they find new opportunities that best suit them. In some cases, people find their calling and start a career they love, but even then, rarely do they work the same job forever. Network marketing is the same way.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s look at the ways you can minimize your risk when switching from one MLM to another.

Build Your Online Brand

This is one reason why a personal brand is so important. If you have been known as Beachbody coach so-and-so for years and you realize selling CBD oil is your more aligned to who you are now, you’re going to have a hell of a time marketing to an audience that has only seen you as the person who posted their workouts daily. Avoiding that is simple. Build your brand around your LEGAL name and who you are. Sure, you can be coach so-and-so, but you can also be mom (or dad), ice cream lover, coffee slayer, rock band lover, etc. Whatever makes you…well, you, build a brand around that instead of focusing on being a walking ad for your company. That way, if and when you do switch companies, your audience will be so invested in you that they continue to follow your journey.

Don’t Trash Your Team

If you decide to step into another MLM and some of your team members don’t follow suit, respect their decision. Your move should be about doing what’s best for you. And nothing reinforces the stereotype of the money-hungry, unscrupulous MLMer than a person who bad-mouths their teammates for doing what’s best for them and staying put. Plus, in the MLM game, it is unwise to burn your bridges. I’ve heard stories of people who quit an MLM and signed up again a year or two later. If you burned that bridge, do you think you’ll be the one to get that business? Absolutely not. Always remain professional to keep your options open and reputation in tact.

Don’t Poach

This tip is closely related to the one above, however this refers to you taking handfuls of people from outside your downline into a new company. Want to know what happened to the person I talked about in the example above? Well, she wasn’t fully removed from her first MLM company when she started promoting the new one. Someone in her up-line saw the Facebook live she posted. They realized she was using their closed Facebook group to recruit in addition to promoting to what she thought was a custom audience from her personal page. She was immediately removed from their online community mentorship group and lost serious favor with her mentors. That might seem harsh, but the truth is, to the people who have worked hard to build their teams, it’s a slap in the face to have someone recruit their members into a new business. Honestly, unless someone from outside of your team approaches you directly about wanting a fresh start, it’s best not to actively recruit from within the organization when you are leaving.

So you’re leaving your MLM? Here’s How to Make the Move:

By all means, talk to your up-line about your decision, especially if they have served as mentor to you directly.

If you have a team, let them know your plans and who they can connect with inside the company if they decide not to join your new opportunity.

Make sure the company you are joining isn’t all smoke and mirrors. You should be a student of the game and should be able to tell the difference between a good opportunity and BS.

If you know your current MLM isn’t for you any longer, but you don’t have a new one lined up, here are a few tips on what you should consider when deciding on a new company:

Make sure the leadership is solid. It’s one thing for the company to be good, but if no real leaders exist, you and your team will struggle down the line.

What’s more important to you? Risk and reward? Or company stability and brand recognition? If you are ready for a little risk, then a new MLM company may work best. It’s more high stakes, but there’s an upside for more reward as an early adopter. Just keep in mind – 90% of start-ups don’t make it long term and that includes network marketing companies. If you prefer something more stable, an established company may be the way to go. In an oversaturated market you have less chance for a higher earning potential, but if the product is a household name, that can give you leverage starting out.

Overall, if you are considering switching companies, make sure you conduct yourself with class and tact. You have your reasons for moving on and, despite what anyone says, that is okay. And, being a network marketer, you already know people will have opinions on what you are doing. It’s your job to ignore the unwarranted judgement that may come your way during this process. As long as you follow the tips above, you will be in the clear.

Why I Stopped Building Landing Pages the Hard Way

If you've ever sat down to build a landing page and immediately felt overwhelmed by the blank screen staring back at you, you're not alone. For a long time, I was in that same spot. Drag-and-drop builders help, but they still take time. And when you're running a solo online business, time is the one thing you don't have enough of.

That's why I started experimenting with using Claude AI to build my landing pages for me. And what I found changed how I approach the whole thing. In this post, I'm going to walk you through exactly how I do it, step by step, so you can start doing the same.

What You Need Before You Start

You don't need to be a developer for this. You don't need to know HTML. You just need two things: a Claude AI account (the free version works for basic pages) and a Systeme.io account (also free to start).

That's it. If you have both of those, you're ready to go.

Step One: Writing the Right Prompt for Claude

This is where most people get stuck. They open Claude, type something vague, and get back something that doesn't really work. The fix is being specific.

Your prompt needs to include your product name, what the offer is, your brand colors, and what you want the page to do. For example, you might tell Claude: 'Build me a Systeme.io-compatible landing page for a digital product called [Product Name]. The offer is [what it includes and what it costs]. Use a dark navy background with red accent colors. Include a headline, features section, countdown timer, and a buy button.'

That level of detail gives Claude enough to work with. The more specific you are, the better the output.

Step Two: Getting the HTML From Claude

Once you submit your prompt, Claude is going to generate a block of HTML code. This usually takes about one to two minutes. When it's done, you'll see a full page of code on your screen.

Don't panic. You don't need to read it or understand it. All you need to do is hit the copy button and move on to the next step.

Step Three: Importing the Code Into Systeme.io

Now you'll head over to your Systeme.io dashboard. Create a new blank page and give it a name. Once you're inside the page editor, look for the HTML element in the sidebar and drag it onto your blank canvas.

Click on that HTML element, go to 'Edit Code,' delete the placeholder text that's already in there, and paste in the code you copied from Claude. Hit save.

At this point, you'll see your page take shape. It might not look perfect yet, but the structure is there.

Step Four: Fixing the Padding Issues

Here's something that trips up a lot of people. Systeme.io adds default padding to every element on the page. So when you paste in your HTML, you might notice a white bar at the top or gaps where there shouldn't be any.

The fix is simple. Click on the section that's causing the issue. Look for the padding settings, usually labeled in the element options. Drop the top and bottom padding down to zero. Do this at both the section level and the row level. Once you save, those gaps should clear up.

Step Five: Checking the Mobile View

After your desktop version looks clean, always check the mobile view. Claude does a solid job with mobile-friendly code, but the font sizes can sometimes come out a little large on smaller screens.

If that's the case, just go back to Claude and ask it to adjust the font sizes for mobile. Something like: 'Can you update the HTML so the heading text is smaller on mobile screens?' Claude will spit out a revised version of the code. Copy it, paste it back into Systeme.io, and you're done.

The Hybrid Approach: AI Plus Drag-and-Drop

One thing I want to be clear about. When you build a page this way, you can't use Systeme's drag-and-drop tools to edit text or buttons directly. Because the entire page is HTML, those elements don't work the same way. Every change has to go through Claude.

That's why I recommend what I call a hybrid approach. Use Claude to build the sections that are design-heavy, like your hero banner or feature blocks. Then use Systeme's native tools for the simpler pieces that you'll want to tweak often, like your opt-in form or your footer.

This gives you the speed of AI and the flexibility of the builder. Best of both worlds.

How Fast Is This Really?

Here's my honest answer. From opening Claude to having a live page preview in Systeme.io, I've done it in under 10 minutes. The prompting takes about 30 seconds. The code generation takes about two minutes. The import and padding fixes take another five minutes or so.

Compare that to spending 30 to 60 minutes building a page from scratch, and this method isn't even close. It's faster every single time.

Final Thoughts on Using AI to Build Landing Pages

If you've been putting off building your funnel because the tech feels like too much, this is your sign to just start. You don't need design skills. You don't need to hire a developer. You just need to know how to write a decent prompt.

Claude handles the code. Systeme.io hosts the page. You just put the pieces together. That's the whole thing.
