Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful
committed citizens can change the world:
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Network Marketing Overview
Network Marketing has been
around for more than 50 years. It allows a company to sell products or
services with little overhead and little to no advertising cost. For
someone looking for part-time or full-time work, network marketing sales
is an “easy entry, easy exit job,” says Liz Doherty, a spokesman for the
Direct
Sellers Association (DSA).
“Easy in” means almost anyone can become an independent distributor out
of their home for a small investment, usually less than $200.
Distributors continue to sell product and recruit others. The company
pays an “override” on the sales of those under them in the chain, or
“down-line,” in return for having trained them to make the sales.
Network Marketing
companies often are confused with illegal pyramid schemes, which charge
hefty investment fees and pay participants to recruit others as the sole
focus of the sales field. Network Marketing distributors are paid based
on product sales and have the benefit of “up-line” training and support.
The Multi-Level Marketing
International Association estimates that in the United States alone,
nearly 10 million people sell for 1,200 companies. The industry is
expanding rapidly abroad. Through Network Marketing, many distributors
earn $200 to $300 a month for part-time work. Earnings can be
substantially larger. That is because, unlike other retail sales jobs,
this one is not limited to one person’s 24 hour day. That time limit is
expanded exponentially by the other people in the down-line. Leaders in
the industry have been know to make over $100,000. per month. But,
industry experts are quick to point out that even part -time income
takes work. A network marketing job is not a get-rich-quick-without-work
scheme, especially with a reputable company.
Why the
popularity of Network Marketing?
First, high technology has
become very cheap. That means virtually anyone can afford a personal
computer, fax machine, copier, toll-free telephone number, and the
software to run a home-based business (though these things are not
essential).
Many have found
traditional job settings inappropriate for their families. Many
distributors are women who want to stay home with young children and
want control of their schedules & environment. Many appreciate contact
it gives with like people.
Network Marketers
appreciate the flexibility that their job provides. Network Marketing
gives us the chance to directly reap the rewards of our efforts while
building toward unlimited earning potential.
There is a well-organized patter to the
development of successful Network Marketing companies. Most stable
companies go through 4 discernible stages:
Start-Up: 90% of all companies who
start fail.
Consolidation: Company enjoys sales of
$3 to $50 million, and must solve problems that come with significant
growth, like warehousing and order processing.
Momentum: The geometric growth kicks in
as the product becomes a household word. Consultants jump on board, and
sales rocket in a very short time span (usually about 5 years) from $50
million to $500 million. Those with networks in place at this point have
been know to make fortunes overnight.
Stability: The company is well known,
and enjoys continued solid, if less spectacular, success.
