What is Network Marketing?

Networking marketing basically is direct selling. It is actually the oldest form of selling, starting back with peddlers who would go from town to town selling their wares. Today it has changed with our modern technology with computers and the postal service, you can sell anything. It then evolved to include requiting others in your team to maximize the efforts of a lot of people. Leveraging the time of a lot of people is a very effective way to manage your time and makes a good income.

The average person at a job can only work 8 hours a day and make an hourly wage but with network marketing where you work as a team you could have thousands of people only working 8 hours a week but get paid way more than the person getting the weekly pay cheque. The thing is you need to assist your team and get everyone paid. It is not a “me first” business. It doesn’t work that way. It only successfully works if you diligently put time in training your people properly and getting them paid. How do I know this? I have seen large teams grow and I have asked questions and I have found out what makes them successful. I have also researched other people that gave up on the business because they too focused only on making money. This is not a get rich scheme. It is a business like any other business and it needs to be worked. You need to take action! I myself learned the hard way and spend so much time “getting ready to be ready” and never move forward till now. That is why I am taking my valuable time to teach people what to do and what not to do. I was so sick and tired of watching people fail in this business, when I saw the possibilities. I knew it had to work but I just didn’t seem to know how until now.

Paul Zane Pilzer, New York Times Best Selling Author speaks about this in his book “The Next Millionaires” He talks about “A vast amount of new wealth is being created over the next ten years.

He said in his book that Direct Selling = Intellectual Distribution.

It is the simple and inexpensive way to market products. There is no store to pay rent. You don’t have to pay a huge amount to staff. You don’t pay huge amounts for advertisement. Tons of money is saved, so they are able to pay their distributors very well.

Think about the last time you told someone about a good book. From my experience my friend went down and purchases that same book. Did I make a commission? No, nothing. This is a referral system where people are paid by recommending products or services.

Can you just imagine the power of telling a friend and they tell a friend, so on and so on? Hey this sounds like a Shampoo Commercial I remember seeing years ago where there were tons of pictures popping up on the TV screen showing the potential of telling others and how it grows.

You take one store trying to sell products in a town and run ads and promotions to get people to come and buy verses having one central distribution location and you have millions of people recommending the products. Who do you think would have the more successful business? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Now if each of the people has unlimited income potential depending on how much work they want to do. Wow can you just see the possibilities now? Would you personally like to make a hourly wage and it never changes or an income that is sky’s the limit.

Do you think this is possible or even a reality? Well there are tons of people doing it.

In the Book “The Ultimate Guide to Network Marketing” edited by Dr. Joe Rubino you will see 37 examples of the Top Network Marketing Income-Earners and they will share with you their secrets to their success.

Another great book from Paul Zane Pilzer – “The Wellness Revolution – How to make a Fortunes in the Next Trillion Dollar Industry”

Another great book is “The New Professionals - The rise of Network Marketing as the Next Major Profession” by Charles W. King and James W. Robinson. This is a really great book if you’re just looking into network marketing. Even in the foreword it say “If you are thinking about getting involved in a network marketing opportunity, you must read The New Professional by Charles King and James Robinsons. It is the best, most authoritative and up-to-date source of information on the stat of multilevel marketing (MLM) at the turn of the twenty-first century.”

It also talks about “Network marketing", known in the past as multilevel marketing and historically disparaged as pyramid schemes for schemers and suckers – is today emerging at the most powerful distribution method and the most appealing enterprises model in the new economy. It’s an approach to sales and entrepreneurship so powerful that traditional companies struggling to find new way’s to reach a fragmented market while containing the prohibitively high costs of full-time sale forces and national advertising campaigns, are now borrowing its best features to apply to their operations.”

This is what I was speaking about earlier but don’t take my word. Do your due diligent and check out the tons of books on network marketing. Always learn about the company before you get involved. Do searches on the internet to see what people are saying or not saying about a company. No news is always good news.

Questions to find out about:

1. How long has the company been around?
2. Who do they have involved in the company?
3. Ask around from others about what they think about products or services?
4. Do the products have patents on them?
5. Are they scientifically based?
6. Do they have life changing results?
7. Is there people actually making money at “all” levels?
8. What kind of investment do you have to put into this business?
9. How much is the products and services going to cost me a month?
10. What are the policies and procedures?
11. What are the do’ and don’t of the business?
12. Most importantly is, what kind of training and support are you going to get while you are learning about the business?
13. Okay I lied, the most important is, is it fun! Is the people fun to be around at meetings? You have to like what you are doing and get along with the people around you.

These are really great questions and I mentioned before, do your homework NOW! You don’t want to get signed up and find out something you are not happy with.

Sometimes when people really get the concept of “Network Marketing” for the first time they can’t sleep for a few days. Their eyes glaze over because they really get it. This was me the first time I found out about Network Marketing.

Yes you can be successful and make a good income but always remember it is not easy. It takes time and effort! The nice thing about “Network Marketing” is it not limited to any kind of people. The most successful people made it not because they had a super great education or had some special skill. No most times they were mothers with children at home, a butcher or an unemployed worker. Anyone has a change to make it!

Now I suggest you read my section on The Renegade Network Marketer because I want you to know the other side of Network Marketing so you can have “all” the information.
