This blog is my way of giving back to Network Marketing.
Okay, right now you're probably asking, "Awesome! So what is Network Marketing anyway?"
I'll save myself a lot of typing and simply copy-and-paste the Wikipedia definition.
"MLM), also known as Network Marketing, is a business-distribution model that allows a parent company to market its products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and direct selling.
Independent, unsalaried salespeople of multi-level marketing, referred to as distributors (or associates, independent business owners, franchise owners, sales consultants, consultants, independent agents, etc.), represent the parent company and are awarded a commission based upon the volume of product sold through each of their independent businesses (organizations).
Independent distributors develop their organizations by either building an active customer base, who buy direct from the parent company, or by recruiting a downline of independent distributors who also build a customer base, thereby expanding the overall organization. Additionally, distributors can also earn a profit by retailing products they purchased from the parent company at wholesale price."
That's a pretty cut and dry definition. Network marketing is about PEOPLE. It's a people business. It's that simple. In network marketing, we meet people who are either interested in a product that we offer, or interested in working from home (which is why I joined).
Now, if you google network marketing, you'll probably find SOMETHING about the dreaded
PYRAMID SCHEME!!!
I can teach you a very simple method of discovering if you're in a pyramid scheme or not. This actually came from the district attorney in Florida.
1. Would a logical thinking person spend this amount of money on this PRODUCT or SERVICE if there was NOT a business opportunity attached to it?
and
2. Does the income stop when the recruiting stops?
If the answer is yes to EITHER of these questions, chances are you are in an illegal pyramid scheme. Get out, quick.
As for me, however, I am in a legal Multi-Level Marketing company. I make money from people I sponsor as well as from people buying the products.
It's a very lucrative business, but before jumping into any old one, it's important to educate yourself. Here's a site where you can download a free e-book that will help you on your journey.
