| Network Marketing Anyone?
|
|
|
Has anyone out there tried this? How does it work? I'm trying really hard here, ok so maybe I am trying but my efforts seem somewhat useless. Do you sit around in coffee shops and the library trying to find people? yeah I don't think so... what about talking to your friends... not too successful either.
Can anyone help me. I want to join a team or a person who has direction and knows where they are going. I am ready to succeed.
Am I crazy? Is anyone else looking for help or looking to help someone? |

Hey Letsbe..!
Network Marketing is basically a "network" of people who "market" product(s) for a parent company who chooses to offer profit sharing rather than pay them as direct employee. They, therfore, become independent business owners marketing the parent company's product. There are many advantages to this... the most attractive being 1. You don't have a boss; 2. you make your own hours; 3. you are not bound by a salary ... a.k.a what someone else thinks you're worth!
Network Marketing is also sometimes known as Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM), but not all network marketing is an MLM. MLM's (Amway now Quick-start & Herbalife are big names) usually have a gimick product (vitamins, drinks, etc) that you become an independent distributor for and must purchase (at a reduced price) & stock for re-sale... you end up with if you can't get rid of it! Common to all network marketing is recruiting of additional people, which you earn a profit from (and the people they recruit.. and so on). In the case of MLMs, profits are low unless you have a few hundred people under you.
To answer your questions... Yes, I've tried Herbalife (no success) & have several friends who tried Amway (also no success).
A year ago my wife joined a non-MLM network marketing business (though a friend at church) which we are hugely successful in. We don't sell to friends or family (Soft market) unless they first show interest. Prospecting methods vary depending on how you choose to get the word out about your business. These can be through Personal Contact Marketing (PCM), newspaper ads, flyers, internet, etc. and can be done cost effectively if you know how.
We are part of a success driven company of individuals who's goal is to have fun "living life" and make lots of money doing it. We travel the world to meet with hundreds of like minded "success" oriented entrepreneurs... who are down to earth just like us.
Wherever your path leads you, I can see you have the most important ingredient to acheive success... and that's a desire to have it!
