One of the main things you should be looking for is a company that has been in business for at least five years. If you’re going to be putting in a lot of time and effort, you want to be sure that it’s going to pay off for many years to come. Choose a company that has been around for a long time, since this is one sign of success. Many network marketing companies fail within the first two years. Don’t become part of that failure.

Find out if the business is well capitalized. This means they have enough cash to be able not only to continue to grow but also to be able to maintain a stable structure even when things get a little slow. They also need to have enough capital to have a top-notch management team. Good management is essential for any company to succeed and network marketing is no different. They should also be able to keep up with all the latest technology that is being introduced every year, such as the latest database capabilities. And lastly, they should of course have the capital to be able to pay you your commissions. You can find information about publicly traded companies, because they’re required to disclose all of their financial information once every 90 days. But if the network marketing company is privately held, search online for customer and partner reviews.

It’s important to choose a top network marketing company that sells unique products or services. With so much competition out there you want to associate yourself with a product that stands out from the rest and is one that people just can’t do without. You’ll also need to believe in the product you’re selling or you’ll have a hard time convincing people to buy. A product you’re enthusiastic about is going to be conveyed to customers as enthusiasm for your company. And it’s this enthusiasm that is going to convince a person that joining your network marketing team is a great idea filled with advantages such as working from home and earning a primary or second income.

I too struggled in network marketing before I got smart! My company told me to buy countless samples (gotta have all of them!), DVD’s, magazines, brochures…you get the picture. I attended the monthly meetings, listened to sizzle calls, did the online training provided on the company website,drove all over creation meeting uninterested prospects at coffee shops…all the while racking up my credit card debt and saw only a trickle of income for all of my effort. Sound familiar?

If you are doing everything that your network marketing company and your upline preaches to you…literally attacking all of your friends and family, and overselling your opportunity, you will go nowhere in the network marketing business. If you continue doing the same thing you are doing now, you will continue to get the same results! By now you may be considering throwing in the towel and taking your losses. But I am here to tell you that there IS a better way, and you CAN be successful in network marketing. Rest assured, you CAN learn the exact steps on how to build a network marketing business, if you are teachable!

In an interview with a group of the industries leading experts, several valuable lessons were revealed that all aspiring network marketing business owners should use to become more effective.



Secret number one: NOT everyone is your prospect! No matter how wonderful your product is, not everyone wants it! You must learn how to reach your target market…those people who have a need, want or desire for what you have, and are looking forit!

Second, and this is essential, Stop begging friends and family and trying to convince anyone within three feet of you that they need what you have. Learn how to position yourself as an expert and put yourself in the path between your prospects and what they are searching for.

Next, Learn how to communicate with three simple tools-the phone(FREE), the internet (not that replicated website that your company had you purchase), and the written word!

Learn how to handle customers objections…there are only two of them!

Educate yourself…this is absolutely necessary if you are to become successful in today’s market. Your upline’s proven

plan is not the plan for you. Bluntly put, those techniqes do not work and never will…invest in your education and

discover the true methods and strategies used by top marketers in today’s world.



The decision is up to you..you can choose to continue getting the results you have been in network marketing, or take the action necessary today and start building YOUR business. Your success is dictated entirely by you and the choices you make, not your upline or your company! To your success!

Perhaps a better question to ask would be “Why Not Network Marketing?”

Of all the various types of home businesses, Network Marketing has proven itself over the years to be the leading method by which the average person can achieve above average results.

Thousands of people, just like you, join Network Marketing companies every single day. Whether you’re only looking to make a few hundred dollars extra each month or create a large residual income, Network Marketing can help you achieve your goals.

“But what exactly is Network Marketing?”

Network Marketing is a method of moving products from the manufacturer to the consumer via word of mouth advertising. Instead of the middleman (wholesaler or jobber) taking his or her cut before moving the product to the retailer, the ability to earn that money is passed directly on to you, the Network Marketing distributor.

For example, a traditional brick and mortar business model goes something like this:

Manufacturer -> Wholesaler -> Retailer -> Consumer

The manufacturer creates the product and sells it to the wholesaler/jobber who then raises the price and moves the product to the retailer. Since the retailer is in business to make a profit, he too must raise the price. The end effect is that the consumer could be paying a lot more than they should be for that particular product.

The Network Marketing business model is somewhat different.

Network Marketing Company -> Distributor (You) -> Consumer

In this example you can see that the Network Marketing Company is selling the products directly to you, the distributor, and you move then on to the end consumer. This allows you, the distributor, to receive the difference in price from wholesale to retail, which would, in a traditional business model, be taken by the wholesaler and retailer.

But that’s only part of it. When you help someone else get started in his or her own Network Marketing business, you will receive an override, or residual, on the volume of business that person does, which can, in and of itself, end up being a large portion of your overall earnings.

“But I’ve heard that Network Marketing has a 95% failure rate.”

This is true of all small businesses, home and traditional brick and mortar, not just Network Marketing, but the figure tends to be incredibly misleading. People quit things all the time for various reasons, not just Network Marketing. Maybe they didn’t understand that Network Marketing does require work, or they don’t have enough time to build it right now, or possibly the time just isn’t right for them.

Whatever the reason people quit, they don’t want to admit to themselves why they quit, so they end up blaming Network Marketing in general or this or that company in particular. This is why Network Marketing gets such a bad rap in the media.

But thousands upon thousands of people worldwide are earning a portion of or a large part of their incomes directly from Network Marketing. So the business model does work…if you work it.

Whether you get involved with Network Marketing or not is your decision. I’d recommend that you keep and open mind, do your due diligence, investigate several different companies, and then make your decision, based not other people’s opinions, but your own research.

A great network marketing company has a certain feel to it that allows to feel as if this is a family you feel a part of. With so many network marketing companies available to choose from, why would anyone partner with a company if it did not feel right.

Still, a gut feeling about a company is not enough these days when trying to determine what network marketing company to go with. There are many different variables to consider when making choices and narrowing down which company to go with, where you can hang your hat and achieve real wealth.

1. One of the first things to consider is how long the company has been in business. If the network marketing company has been in business for more than 5 years, this is considered a good thing. The company is doing a many of the right things. Most network marketing companies will fail in their first two years.

A company may look great, have the right products, the best compensation plan on the market and a crack team behind it but if it has only been a business for a couple of years, then let it go. You are trying to eliminate risk, so don’t even harbor any consideration about it for now. There is nothing more heartbreaking than working day and night for a downline, then the company goes out of business. Where does that leave you?

2. Is there a large demand in the market for the company’s products and are those products of high caliber?

It is amazing that many network marketers will look over the compensation plans, then jump on board without a second thought to the products. Choosing a company that offers products that are in high demand within a growth industry is essential. A large part of the network marketing business is selling the products to loyal customers that keep coming back for the best products. These repeat customers are also some of the best prospects you will have for possible inclusion in your downline.

3. Is the company offering a solid compensation plan that allows you to really grow a solid downline for residual income?

There are many multi-level compensation plans that companies will have in place. Some of them may look good at a glance, but it is up to you to really understand what the company is offering you. If you cannot understand the compensation plan, then it is probably not a simple one that you will be able to explain to prospects either. If you have a hard time understanding the plan, think about how difficult it will be for you to try to recruit a solid downline when compensation plans come up in the conversation.

4. Is the network marketing company in question committed to you reaching your goals?

True support and commitment to the home based network marketers from the company needs to be firmly intact. From the company’s president on down the chain, everyone should be helping and supporting each other. If you do not understand how something is done or what the product lines are about, then these questions should be readily available to you. If the company is quick to shuffle off any questions that you might have to someone else, it’s a good bet that you will not receive the proper support you will need to learn the business at hand.

Hopefully, these tips will help you make some decisive choices to narrow down your search for a good multi-level company to partner up with. It also might be helpful for you make your own list of things you are looking for when choosing the right network company to become involved with.

You most likely have come in contact with a network marketing company at some point in your lifetime, especially if you have attended a home party at a friend or relatives house. Network marketing is definitely here to stay but the question is “How do YOU choose a network marketing business for yourself?” The choices are endless so here are some ideas for you to consider before jumping in:

1. You want to get in with a company that’s been around at LEAST for 5 years, has solid financial backing, excellent management and a “distributor first” philosophy. The company should also have a long-term goal and not just be out for the quick buck. This may sound a little over-zealous at first but you need to be careful. So many companies have the right intentions but barely make it out of the starting gate. You’re looking for someone who has been through that “first five years” and have proven themselves. So often potential distributors are told to get in on the “ground floor” but often this ground will cave in leaving many people very unhappy. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give these companies a look, just go into it with eyes wide open.

2. Look for high quality, unique and reasonably priced products or services. Ideally, products that are consumable so that customers have to purchase them over and over again. Unlike “traditional” companies who have to shell out dollar after dollar in advertising (just picture Super Bowl ads), network marketing companies have their distributors advertising for them. This allows the company to make superior products, all things being equal. And it must be a consumable product. The idea is that the customer will be so pleased with their product that once they run out, they’ll need to buy more

3. A compensation plan that’s fair to both full-time and part-time distributors alike. As mentioned earlier, a successful Network Marketing company will have a “distributor first” philosophy. This should be plainly seen simply by taking a look at the compensation plan. All it takes is some simple math to find out how much you’ll need to sell and how many distributors you’ll need underneath you in order to be profitable. Most people don’t take the necessary time out to do the math and end up getting enamored by the fancy potential income charts put out by the company.

4. Training and support for your team. Many companies do provide training and promotional materials for their distributors but sometimes it’s hard to find that balance between product promotion and training. Be wary of companies that charge high prices for their promotional materials. You are investing your money to advertise for them so the company should not seek to make a profit from you here; however, many companies do.

Keeping these 4 ideas in mind before jumping into a network marketing business will do wonders for your sales and your peace of mind as well.
