Network marketing or MLM can be a viable opportunity, provided the emphasis is placed on selling
products rather than signing up new members. In order to start your own network marketing company
you can enroll with an existing MLM organization or start your own from the ground up, but if you go
the DIY route you'll need to establish a relationship with a wholesaler or manufacturer to turn out your
actual product.

Find a Niche
Select a product line for your network marketing company. Start a nutritional network marketing
company, for example, which is the most popular type of network marketing business.

Wholesale Suppliers
Search for a wholesale supplier through the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors at Naw.org.
Attend NAW meetings to become more familiar with wholesalers. Sign up for some free trade
publications through Tradepub.com, according to article titled "Find Suppliers for Your Business" at
Businessknowhow.com. Examine the "Thomas Register of American Manufacturers" at your local library.
Call several potential wholesale and manufacturer suppliers. Ask them if they offer drop-shipping
services, which will keep your inventory levels down. Find out if the supplier offers catalogs, brochures
and order forms for their products. Choose the supplier that provides you with the lowest unit cost per
product.

Set Price Structure

Set the retail price of your products according to your supplier's recommendations. Establish a
commission structure for your distributors on several different levels. Set commissions at 10 percent, for
example, for first-level sales where distributors earn money off those people they recruit. Set
commissions on levels two and three at 5 percent each, for example, allowing distributors to earn
commissions off people your distributors recruit.

Organizational and Management Setup

Install network marketing commission-payment software. Use your commission-payment software to
calculate the commissions of all future distributors.

Create an instruction manual for all distributors, highlighting various ways to advertise their network
marketing businesses. Create a distributor's kit for all potential dealers, which includes the instruction
manual, a catalog, price list and order forms.

Marketing Your Business

Advertise your network marketing company in major business opportunity magazines, including
"Business Opportunities," "Home Business" and "Small Business Opportunities." Start with classified ads
as they are the most cost effective of all ads.

Mail a sales letter brochure and order form out to people who respond to your classified ads. Call people
back when they inquire about your network marketing opportunity. Recruit distributors into your
business on an ongoing basis.

Create a website and include your website in your classified advertisements. This will give people
another way to join your network marketing opportunity. Get a merchant account through your bank so
you can accept credit cards online. Find a web designer if you are unable to create your own website.
Have the web designer create self-replicating sites for your distributors so they can recruit their own
distributors. Self-replicating sites will have the same URL or address as your site, but with unique
extensions or identification numbers. The success of any networking marketing company is contingent
upon building a deep organizational structure.

A networking business is also known as a multi-level marketing business, also known as an MLM.
Basically, it involves you recruiting other business-minded people into your organization. The new
recruits will then purchase products from the networking company and will then start building their own
downlines, or networks. You could earn monthly commissions from people who are in your downline
when they start buying products from you. This is a legitimate business opportunity, and companies can
legally sell legitimate products through network marketing. Apart from having solid business networking
skills, below are the steps you can take to start your own networking business.

A networking business is also known as an MLM. Basically, the business operates on a network, just as
the name suggests. To make it easier, we will start with the company at the top. The company sells you
its products either on a one-time basis or on a subscription basis, where you receive a package of
products regularly, say, once a month or once every two months. You, in turn, should recruit others to
purchasing the company’s products. If you recruit a person, they will buy the company’s products and
you will receive a percentage of the price they pay for the products as a commission. Obviously, the
more people you recruit under you the higher your commissions. But it doesn’t end there; the people
you recruit can also recruit in their turn. Their recruits will earn them a commission. But, and here’s
where an MLM starts to get lucrative, you also earn from your recruits’ recruits. For every purchase
made by a recruit of your recruit, you are entitled to a certain percentage of the purchase price as
commission. That way, your residual earnings can grow astronomically, depending on how far your
‘downline’ goes.

As you can see, there is a lot of promise in MLM. The trick is to grow your network. In this business, your
net worth is literally determined by the size of your network.

Choose Products to Sell

The very first step is to make a decision about the products you would like to sell as a network marketer.
There are plenty of options here. You could choose home cleaning supplies, cell phones, health
supplements, and so on. Remember to choose a product line that you are familiar with and that you will
enjoy working with others to market this product line.

Gather Networking Tips

The next step is to look for opportunities. You can find opportunities in home business magazines such
as the Small Business Opportunities section of Entrepreneur. You will find network marketing companies
you can contact. You can call some of the listed distributors, as they are people who were once newbies,
just like you. You should ask to speak to their upline sponsors, who have more experience and
knowledge about the company. Ask them to elaborate on the business model and the payment plan to
you. They can even give you networking tips in the process. You can get a few company officers in on
this via a conference call.

Choose Your Network Marketing Opportunity

You can now choose the network marketing opportunity that appeals to you the most. Join a company
that offers you good commissions and deals in the products you are interested in selling. Go for
commissions in the 20 to 30 percent level, so that you'll see profits faster. Your products should
automatically be shipped to you every month.

Set Up a Business Phone

Have a separate business phone line for your business. You can even record a warm greeting that asks
people to leave their name and contact details when they can’t get you on the phone.

Start a Website
Start a website for your network marketing business. You can do this through your network marketing
company. Most of them will give you a good website that is similar to the main company website.

Create Postcards
Create your own postcards or order them from your network marketing company. The company should
include your website on the postcard.

Prepare a Mailing List

You should now prepare a mailing list. To do that, you will need to search for a mailing list supplier
online. Choose one that sells the names and addresses of Business Opportunity Buyers or MLM
enthusiasts. These are people who would like to start a home business, and are open about trying an
MLM opportunity. It will definitely improve your conversion rates. For an initial test mail, order between
500 and 1000 mailing list names.

Mail Postcards
Put the mailing labels on your postcards and mail them to people on your list. When people respond to
your card, call them back. You can even include your sponsor in a conference call to help you recruit
people into the business. You should send the mail out every week, to step up the number of mails you
send, as your profits increase.

Green Business
Meanwhile, learn everything you can about networking. Read networking books, and attend networking
events to improve your knowledge. Remember, never stop learning

Tip
You can also send out email blasts to email lists in much the same way as you do with mailing lists. In
fact, emails are inexpensive and might give you better results.
Warning
Participating in an MLM can be profitable if members have a lot of people in their network, and if
they're willing to put in a lot of effort over time. However, nothing is guaranteed.

Online Network Marketing [How To Start]
19.NOV.2021 . 6 MIN READ
Online Network Marketing [How To Start]
Online network marketing is a business model based on creating a network of people who buy and sell
products or services. The internet is the biggest market where you can find your potential buyers and
companies with network marketing programs. This business allows you to work in a particular niche and
reach relevant customers interested in your products or services.As per statistics, the global network
market industry was valued at US$167 billion in 2019.

To become an online network marketer, you don’t need any specific qualifications or background. With
good communication and customer handling skills and an online presence, you can be successful in this
business.
How to Start Online Network Marketing?
With the excellent knowledge and skillsets required for network marketing, you can certainly earn a
large amount of money. You can either do this work as a part-time side-hustle or as a full-time job.

Here are some of the crucial steps you should follow to become a successful network marketer.

1. Study the market

Before starting your network marketing journey, it is essential to know about the market and industry.
You should research the products that are more useful and relevant in your community or
neighbourhood.

You can choose your niche according to trending network marketing products with higher profit-earning
potential. Healthcare, FMCG, and beauty are some of the domains in which most successful network
marketing companies operate.

2. Determine affordability
Affordability is a crucial factor in network marketing as people like to buy affordable and reasonable
products that are not too expensive.

You should choose products or services to promote through network marketing that is affordable for
your target audience. Expensive products often have fewer takers, and it makes the overall marketing
process difficult.

On the other hand, affordable and reasonable products will help you attract more people and increase
your income.

3. Identify your target market

One of the significant steps in starting online network marketing is identifying your target market and
choosing your niche. You should select your target customers and clients according to the affordability
of the products and services you deal with.

Targeting customers or clients who are popular in society or have a good online presence can be a great
strategy. You can get more customers through their reviews and referrals.

4. Search for a network marketing company

Working for a reputed company with a decent brand image is one of the most crucial elements of
network marketing. It is easier to become a successful marketer while working for network marketing
companies with a presence in your target market. You should search for a network marketing company
with a good customer base and avoid working with fraudulent organisations. Working with a network
marketing company with a bad reputation in your target market can affect your social and financial
standings.
5. Invest cautiously
Before investing in any network marketing company, you should research its history and avoid investing
only on the basis of its promos on the internet or attractive promotional emails.

As a beginner network marketer, you should only work with genuine and reputed network marketing
companies. Because of the huge competition, you might earn less income working for a reputed
network marketing company. Still, it is the best option initially, and you can learn about the crucial
elements related to your target market too.

6. Get your credentials

After selecting the perfect network marketing company and getting on board with them, the first thing
you should do is to get yourself the necessary credentials. You should get online promotional materials
to share on your social media accounts. You can also ask for the company’s brochures, flyers, samples,
etc.

Further, you will also require business cards, cash receipts, and letterhead to make your internet
marketing professional and organised.

7. Identify opportunities
You should start looking for potential clients as soon as you establish your network marketing venture.
You should start making a list of target customers and approach them with your offerings.

It would be best if you always ask for referrals and reviews from satisfied customers. You can share your
customers’ testimonials on your social media accounts or websites to further promote your business
and attract more customers.

8. Connect with other marketers

To further improve your online marketing game, connect with other network marketers to learn
traditional and newer ways and tricks. Having good networking and communication skills will help you in
the network marketing business in the long run.The United States has the highest numbers of
independent distributors of network marketing.

You should join network marketing groups on social media to stay updated and informed on the
market’s latest trends. With good connections with other network marketers, you can strike productive
collaborations.

Types of Network Marketing Programs

Network marketing is essentially a business model that’s dependent on distributors’ networks to grow a
business online and offline. Lead generation of products, recruiting distributors, and building a good
network are crucial strategies to make great money in the network marketing business. The types of
network marketing include:
1. Single-tier network marketing
In a single-tier network marketing model, marketers sign up for a particular company’s affiliate
marketing program to sell their products or services. In this type of marketing, network marketers do
not have to recruit other distributors, and they receive all the payment for direct sales.

Usually, in an online affiliate program, as a network marketer, you get paid for driving traffic to the
affiliate’s website through an affiliate link that you can promote on your social media accounts or
websites. The other examples of single-tier networking are pay-per-click (PPC) and pay-per-lead (PPL)
affiliate programs.

2. Two-tier network marketing

In two-tier network marketing, you can recruit some of the distributors, but your payment would not be
dependent solely on that. You will also get paid for direct sales and the traffic you drive to the website
and the direct sales or traffic generated by the distributor or affiliate you recruited.

3. Multi-level marketing
Multi-level marketing (MLM) is essentially based on a distribution that includes two or more tiers.
Marketing-driven networks and name-driven network marketing are some other types of network
marketing strategies. Many multi-level marketing programs enable you to make money five or more
than five tiers deep. In multi-level marketing, marketers may get incentives for recruiting. As per a study,
more than 1000 companies are using multi-level marketing in the United States.

Benefits of Network Marketing
One of the common questions people ponder before starting network marketing involves the benefits
and advantages it. With the knowledge of all the benefits afforded by this field, you can effectively make
your decisions and decide your short- and long-term goals.

These are some of the main benefits of starting with online network marketing:

1. Cost of entry
Usually, the startup costs in network marketing are low and affordable. You can get your products, some
samples, and your training covered with a reasonable investment. You will get all the essential things for
your network marketing in a starter pack that will be delivered to you in either hard or soft format.

2. Flexibility
Flexibility is one of the main benefits of network marketing. You can make decisions according to your
convenience and what’s perfect for you. In the network marketing business, you work in a comfortable
environment and can have a flexible working schedule that does not affect your overall personal and
professional life. You can manage your responsibilities and have full control over working hours and
days.

3. Income
Marketing work is all about earning high incomes and incentives. There is an excellent scope to secure a
high income with good marketing strategies, plans, and knowledge of network marketing. In the United
States, the MLM market generated $35 billion in sales in 2019.

You can either earn income through the direct sales of your products and services or earn passive
income through the sales made by team members or people you have recruited.

Conclusion
With all the right guidance, knowledge about digital marketing, and passion for the work, you can get
successful and meet your goals in the online network marketing business. You should basically know
how you can solve your target customers’ problems or requirements with your niche products or
services.

Choosing a Company

Download Article
Image titled Man researching a burger company online and looking at their marketing tactics.1
Investigate companies. Choosing the right company is key to becoming a successful network marketer.
Quick and easy internet searches can usually answer many of the questions you may have. Do some
research to determine which company is best for you personally. Some questions you should ask
yourself when researching companies are:[1][2]
How old is the company? Is it well-established or is it just starting out?
How are the company's sales? Are they rising or falling?
What is the general reputation of the company? Reviews and blogs can usually give you a good idea if
the company is reputable or suspicious.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 22
Look up CEOs and other company leaders. Keep the same things in mind as when you investigated
companies. Is the company leadership reputable and law-abiding? If company leaders have been
accused of carrying out scams or have had legal trouble, you may want to avoid this company.

Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 33

Investigate the products or services the company sells. Since you'll be responsible for pitching and
selling this product, make sure it is reputable. Some MLM companies market questionable or dangerous
products, and you could face legal action if you take part. You should keep the following in mind when
considering a product:[3]
Is this product safe?
Are the product's claims backed up by legitimate research?
Would I use this product?
Is this product priced fairly?
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 44
Question your recruiter. When you've found a company you're interested in, you'll likely meet with a
recruiter or another representative. Be skeptical during the recruitment process. Remember that your
sponsor makes more money if you sign on, so they may not be as open with you as they could be. Don't
get distracted by promises of how much money you'll make, and really think about what you're about to
do.[4]
Ask direct and specific questions. If you find the answer too vague, ask for clarification.
Ask exactly what the company will expect of you—how much are you expected to sell? How many
people are you expected to recruit? Are you required to take part in training programs?
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 55
Read your contract carefully. Don't sign anything right away. Take some time to read over and
understand the entire contract. You may even want to consult a lawyer or accountant to make sure
you're getting a fair deal and that the company is legitimate.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 66
Watch for red flags. According to the Federal Trade Commission, some businesses posing as MLM
companies are actually illegal pyramid schemes. Pyramid schemes scam recruits into buying into a
company and almost always result in a loss to the recruit. Some things to look out for are:[5]
If a company makes more money selling products to distributors than to the public.
If a company makes more money recruiting members than by selling products.
If anything seems wrong to you, don't sign a contract.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 77
Draw up a business plan. When you have a few potential companies in mind, write out your plan for
building and expanding your business. Even before you've officially aligned with a company, it helps to
have this plan figured out early. That way you can hit the ground running when you do eventually start
at a company. Keep these things in mind when designing a business plan:
What product or service are you intending to sell?
Who is your intended market?
How much time will you dedicate to this? Will it be a part-time commitment or are you planning on
working 7 days a week?
What is your goal? Do you want to get rich or just make some extra money?
Think long-term. Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years?
What is your marketing strategy? Will you make cold calls? Use the internet or social media? Go door to
door?
You can update or change the plan as needed, but it helps to have a guide when you're just starting out.

Starting Out

Download Article
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 81
Choose the right mentor. In most MLM models, the person who recruited you becomes your mentor.
That mentor will coach you through the early stages of your work. Typically, the more successful you
are, the more money your mentor makes, so it is in their best interest to be there for you. In a mentor,
you'd want:[6]
Someone who is available if you need help.
Someone who you could see yourself working with.
Someone who will be honest with you if there's something you can do better.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 92
Study your products and know them well. It's your job to sell these products, so you should dedicate
yourself to knowing everything about them. You'll need to plan how you will pitch the product to
potential customers, how to answer any questions or doubts they may have, and any relevant research
or studies that support your product.[7]
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 103
Attend company meetings and training calls. These will help you make new contacts and learn new skills.
You can leave them better prepared to build your business successfully.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 114
Build new leads. In network marketing, leads are potential customers. You'll need to keep finding new
leads if you want to keep making money. There are various ways you can find new leads, and you should
use multiple strategies to attract the largest market possible.
Social media is a cheap, easy way to generate buzz for your product. Start a page for your company on
each of the major social media sites and update them all regularly.
Buy advertising space online and offline. Websites and newspapers can help build awareness for your
product.
Cold calling, though old-fashioned, is still a popular method of finding potential leads.
Personal interaction is also useful. Always have business cards on you and be ready to talk about your
company. You never know when you may come across someone who is interested in what you have to
offer.
Issue a press release. Press releases can be a great way to spread the word about your business gain
more popularity, and be known by more people. With press releases you can publish articles about your
business on hundreds of news sites, attracting potential new customers.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 125
Follow up with all leads. To turn leads into paying customers, you'll have to follow up with them and
pitch your product.
Set up your web page with an autoresponder designed to contact people who visit your page.
Manage all your contacts in an organized file with all their information easily accessible.
Have a sales pitch ready at all times when you contact a lead.
Try more than once to turn a lead into a customer. Just because someone wasn't interested once
doesn't mean they will never be interested. Be careful not to overdo it, though—you could easily get a
reputation as a spammer, which can hurt your business.

Building Your Network

Download Article
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 131
Recruit new members. Just like you were recruited to a network marketing company, you'll have to
recruit members to your team if you want to be successful. Always be on the lookout for new prospects
who you think will be valuable additions to your team. Try recruiting services, like MLMRC. Also, you'll
want someone who is personable, a good salesperson, and a team player committed to cooperating
with you.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 142
Mentor your recruits effectively. If recruits are successful, you make more money, so you should be
prepared to train them well. This may be a substantial time commitment, even up to several weeks. But
you should understand that you're building a team and it is in your best interest to spend enough time
making sure your recruits are competent enough to go off on their own.[8] [9]
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 153
Give your team members good commissions. By compensating your recruits well, you're ensuring that
they have a good incentive to sell. That way, they'll earn more money for you and for themselves. It will
also help keep them around longer, which is good for you—you want to keep talented sellers on your
team to keep your business successful.
Image titled Succeed in Network Marketing Step 164
Consult professionals about your business. Remember, you are responsible for everything associated
with running a business—taxes, laws, etc. It helps to have an accountant and lawyer on hand to help you
manage your business in the most effective way possible.[10]

Conclusion
Key Takeaways
Choose the right network marketing company: When starting a network marketing business, it’s
important to choose a company that aligns with your values and goals. Look for a company that has a
good reputation, offers products or services that you believe in, and has a compensation plan that works
for you. It’s also a good idea to research the company’s leadership and track record to ensure that it is
stable and reliable. Taking the time to choose the right network marketing company can set you up for
success in the long term.

Identify your target market: Before you start your network marketing business, it’s important to identify
the specific group of people you want to target. This could be based on factors such as age, gender,
location, or interests. By understanding your target market, you can tailor your marketing efforts to
better meet their needs and preferences.
Create a marketing plan: A marketing plan is a roadmap that outlines the specific actions you’ll take to
reach your target market and achieve your business goals. Your plan should include details about your
target market, the products or services you’ll be offering, and the marketing channels you’ll use to reach
potential customers.

Build a network: Network marketing is all about building relationships with potential customers and
partners. To succeed in this business, you’ll need to be proactive about networking and building your
network of contacts. This can involve reaching out to potential partners, attending industry events, and
staying active on social media. By building a strong network, you can create more opportunities for
yourself and your business.

If you are looking to start a business and make money, network marketing can be a good way to do it.
Network marketing is also known as Multi-level marketing or MLM. It has now become very popular
around the world and millions of people have made their fortune from it.

Network marketing opportunity can be a great way to earn extra income, meet new people, and make a
difference in the world. It is a legitimate way to earn money and should not be confused with illegal
pyramid schemes.

So let’s analyze the fundamentals to get a successful network marketing business.

NOTE – On the other hand, if you are interested in building and starting a network marketing company,
you can find our dedicated guide here.

Section 1 – Business Model

How to start network marketing - Section 1
To start a successful career in network marketing, first it is essential to understand the underlying
business model. The first section of this guide deals with defining it in its most important aspects.

Network marketing is a business model often related to the creation of a multi-level marketing system.
The MLM model allows for individuals to work as independent contractors, selling products or services
to other individuals and businesses.

Network marketing differs from traditional sales models in that it does not rely on a single point of
contact or sale, but rather relies on multiple points of contact and sale.

The basic idea behind this model is that you will be able to build a team of people who are focused on
helping each other succeed. They will help you by buying products or services from you and they will
help promote those products or services to others in their network as well.

Network marketing: the importance of building a team

This strategy has been shown to be very effective at increasing sales and profits while also building
relationships between members of the group.
Benefits Of Network Marketing

It’s flexible: you can work from home or anywhere you want.
You don’t need any special skills or education to pursue this opportunity.

It’s a great way to get out of debt, save money, and start investing in your future.

You have to make sure that your customers are satisfied with their purchases.
Many people try to sell things to friends and family, which can be awkward.
You might have to put up with a lot of people who don’t want to buy your products, but only want to
hear about them.
You might have to put up with people who want you to join their network marketing company instead
of yours.

Section 2 – Profitability Of MLM / Network Marketing Today
How to start network marketing - Section 2
Is it too late to start a business in network marketing today, or is there still room for action? Let’s find
out in this section, delving into some valuable indicators.

Is It Worth Starting Network Marketing?

Short answer: YES.

However, keep in mind:

➤ You’ll probably make mistakes along the way. If you’re not prepared for this, it can be really
discouraging when people don’t respond well to your products or how you’re marketing them. But if
you stay focused on your goals and keep trying new things until you find what works, eventually you’ll
start seeing results!

➤ It can be hard to stay motivated sometimes. If you’re working from home and not having other
people around to keep you accountable for showing up every day, it can be easy to let yourself get
distracted by other things that seem more fun than working on building your business. The key is finding
ways that keep YOU excited about what you’re doing—and there are plenty of ways to do this!
Why Now Is A Good Time To Get Into This Model Of Business
There are a number of reasons why it’s a good time to get into network marketing.

First, there has never been a better time to be an entrepreneur. We’re living in the age of the
empowered employee and the empowered customer. People want to feel like they have more control
over their lives, which is why we’re seeing more people starting up businesses and taking on freelance
gigs than ever before.

Network marketing: people want more control over their lives

Second, there are so many opportunities out there for people who want to start a business that it can be
hard to know where to start. Network marketing offers a clear path: you join an established company
and do what they tell you, while they help you grow your own business through the power of
recruitment and referrals.

Third, networking is all about relationships—and relationships are key when it comes to building a
successful business. When you’re working with other people in your network marketing company, you’ll
be able to build those relationships much faster than if you were doing it alone!

How To Get Into Network Marketing In A Profitable Way

To start a profitable network marketing business, you need to understand the foundations of how it
works.

Network marketing is a great way to make money without having to work for someone else. You work
with people who are in the same position as you, so you can help each other grow.

Here are some of the basics:

You don’t have to own the product or service you sell.

You don’t have to pay for any inventory upfront.
You don’t have to hire anyone else or pay them commissions on what they sell.
There’s no limit on how much money you can make!
Also, don’t forget to be ‘digital’ since your first steps into the network marketing industry.

The internet has been one of the biggest game-changers in modern business. It has created new
opportunities for companies and individuals alike to connect with customers, reach out to them, and
build relationships with them. Network marketing is no different.

Network marketing and internet

In fact, it’s even more important to make use of the internet in network marketing than in other
industries.

Why?
Because there are so many people out there who are looking for ways to make money on their own
terms. They don’t want to have to work at a job they hate, they don’t want to be tied down by office
hours or even a physical location—they just want to be able to set their own schedule and work
whenever they want!

DO YOU KNOW THAT… – One of the best ways to get started with network marketing has always been
considered to tell people about it. This is called mouth marketing, which means you’re telling people
about your business through word-of-mouth advertising.

Section 3 – Choosing The Product / Company

How to start network marketing - Section 3
The crucial first steps are choosing the products to sell and the company to become a distributor. This
section looks at the criteria to follow and the indicators to refer to.

Search For A Network Marketing Company

The direct sales industry is populated by a lot of multi-level marketing companies with various legal
entity, commission structure, and different average success rates for their distributors.

But when it comes to making money from home, the internet can be tricky because there are so many
scams and shady companies out there. It’s important that you do your research before investing any
money in a business opportunity or buying products from an MLM company.

One way to find out if an opportunity is legit is by looking at its website or social media pages. If the
company has been around for a while and has plenty of positive reviews online, then it’s probably worth
investigating further by talking with current members or reading testimonials on their website or
Facebook page.

Signs It Is An MLM Scam

When evaluating a network marketing company, there are some signs that it might be a scam.

First, look for unreasonably low prices for products and services. If the price of the product or service is
too good to be true, it probably is.

Second, look for overly aggressive marketing tactics. If you get an email from someone who has no
connection to you or your business offering to help you make money or get more customers, this is a red
flag.

Third, look at how many members are in the company and how much they earn on average. If there are
only a handful of members and they are all making great money, it’s likely that the company is running
on hype rather than substance.

Fourth, look at what type of products or services they sell and whether they seem legitimate as well as
how they market them. If they seem like they’re trying to sell anything that will make money instead of
focusing on one specific product line or service area—and if their marketing materials aren’t very clear
about what exactly that product line or area is—watch out!

Network marketing scam signalsPin

Network Marketing ‘Scam Checklist’
You should also be wary if you see any of these signs:

The company doesn’t provide any information about its products or services, only showing testimonials
or using vague language like “the best” or “the most revolutionary.”
The company requires you to sign up with a distributor before you can view pricing information. This is
typically done to hide how much things cost so that you’ll buy into the sales pitch before realizing it’s
too expensive for your budget.
The company cannot provide any evidence of independent research proving that its products are
effective or safe for use.
How Do Identify Opportunities?
When you’re evaluating whether a network marketing company is a real opportunity, here are some of
the most important things to consider:

The product or service: Is it something you’d use? Do you understand how it works? Is it something that
people will be willing to pay for?
The compensation plan: How much money do you stand to make? Does your income depend on
recruiting others into the company? Is there any kind of residual income or royalty-based income from
your efforts?
The company culture: What’s the vibe like at this company? Are people friendly and helpful, or do they
seem standoffish or competitive? Do they value their customers as highly as their employees? How does
the overall environment make you feel when you interact with them?
If these three things check out, then chances are you can treat this company as a valuable opportunity.

as you begin your journey and the best free online resources for getting started as an expert.

Understanding Network Marketing Business

When starting a network marketing business, there are a few key steps to keep in mind above anything
else.

First, you should understand the business model and know your brand and products. Understanding
your company’s products will help you be able to explain them to others and can help you identify
opportunities for new ones.

TIP – Start by reading and studying the best network marketing books, written by the world’s top MLM
experts.

Second, aim to begin as a ‘pro’ in your sector. This means that you should focus on building relationships
with other professionals in the field and learning from them as much as possible.

It’s hard to believe that no matter how much you aspire to be something, or how hard you work, there
are some things that just will not happen overnight.

At the beginning of your network marketing career, it can be tempting to think that if you don’t see
results right away, then the business opportunity is not for you. But remember that this is a process!

No matter how hard you work on yourself and plug into the system, nothing will happen overnight.
Network marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme, but rather a proven way to build wealth over time—
and it’s up to you to make sure that happens.

So what should you do? Treat this like any other job: set goals and work towards them every day. If you
treat it like a job, then eventually it will become one for you.

Darin Kidd, in short, identifies these 7 crucial network marketing tips:

Remember it is a process
Work on yourself
Treat it like a job
Learn to manage your emotions
Plug into the system
Associations are everything
Do not compare yourself to other people
Mistakes New Network Marketers Make
Network Marketing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a business and it takes time, effort, and
dedication to be successful.

You might come into this with the best intentions, but if you don’t have concrete plans or aren’t willing
to put in the work, it’s unlikely that you’ll see results. Here are some typical mistakes new network
marketers make:

Not being clear about your purpose in network marketing

Not having a clear plan for your business
Trying to do everything yourself and not delegating tasks
Focusing on yourself too much and not enough on your team
Being uncomfortable with asking for help

How to start network marketing?

Network Marketing Courses

There are plenty of online training courses on network marketing. Some are independent, others are
directly created by companies in the industry.

To get your business started, you won’t need to sign up for premium courses – often very expensive –
right away.

You can start with free training like the ones on the Getpenny site.

The main points that are covered are:

Daily business routine in direct sales

Customer care
Sales funnels and marketing plan
Prospecting
Funnels Guide
If you’re looking to start a network marketing business, many software programs can help. Read this
guide about how to build product sales funnels with Clickfunnels.

Here are their top 3 tips for getting started:

1. It all starts with your funnel

This is the most important piece of advice we have for anyone starting a network marketing business: it
all starts with your funnel! You need to be able to attract people into your funnel, and then make sure
they stay there in order to make any money. Make sure that your landing page, website, and sales letter
are all pulling people into the right place at the right time.

2. Make sure you’re using the right tools

You’ll want all kinds of different tools as you grow your business, but it’s important not to get carried
away with too many things at once—or else you’ll end up spending more time managing than actually
doing anything productive! Keep things simple by only using the tools that will help you succeed and
then add more as needed (and when the budget allows).

3. Don’t forget about customer service!

It’s easy for people who have never done network marketing before to forget about customer service
because it doesn’t seem like a big deal at first glance—but if you don’t take care of your customers your
chance to succeed in the long run is tiny.

Products Distribution Guide

The first step to network marketing is choosing a product that will sell well in your target market. You
need to know who your target audience is, what they want, and how much they are willing to pay for it.
Then, you can choose a good product that meets those criteria.

A useful resource on this topic is this article on Softwaresuggest

You will learn that starting a network marketing business can be a great way to make money and meet
people, but it’s not easy. Here are some tips that will help you get started on the right foot and help you
grow your business.

1. Start by deciding what kind of company you want to work for. Do you want to sell products, recruit
people as distributors, or both?

2. Find out if there is a local distributor who can help you get started and answer questions about the
company’s products or services.

3. Research any potential competitors in your area and compare them to what you’ve found online
about the company that interests you most.

4. Make sure you have enough capital available to purchase inventory at wholesale prices so that you
can resell it at retail prices (and earn profits).

Learn From The Masters

In any business sector, following successful industry figures, top earners, and coaches with proven
experience is always a good idea.

How To Succeed In Network Marketing
There is no one way to succeed in Network Marketing.

The goal of this guide (aimed at beginners or those who have not yet succeeded in achieving their goals),
is to put the best foundation on which to build.

In addition to what we have said so far, there are three non-negotiable concepts to familiarize yourself
with right away:

A- Stand Out From Other Distributors

If you want to succeed in network marketing, you should stand out from other distributors.

How to start and succeed in network marketingPin

Why?

Because if you try to sell the same products as everyone else, people won’t see any reason to buy from
you instead of them. You have to be different—and better!

That means that when people visit your website, for instance, they should see something special about
it and about YOU. They should feel that there is a reason for them to choose you over anyone else. They
should know what makes you different from the other distributors out there, and why they should
choose you over them!

Be positive and optimistic about your company, be approachable and easy to talk to, don’t be afraid of
rejection. And do all that with a personal, unique touch!

B- Develop A Framework For Following Up

Network marketing is a great business model, but if you want to succeed, you need to develop a system
for following up.

It’s easy to get distracted when you’re running your own business. But if you want to succeed in network
marketing and build a team of people who are committed to your success, it’s vital that you establish
and maintain a consistent follow-up system.

Here are some tips for creating an effective follow-up system:

Set specific goals for each prospect. This will help keep everything on track and ensure that you’re
reaching out to prospects in the most effective way possible.
Create a schedule for following up with prospects. This will ensure that you’re staying organized and
hitting deadlines as well as getting through all your leads in a timely manner so that no one slips through
the cracks!
Make sure everyone on your team knows exactly what they need to do at every step of the process so
that there’s no question about how things should proceed from one day or week to another (and so that
everyone feels like they’re contributing equally).
Set regular reminders for yourself about what needs doing next—especially if there are multiple tasks
involved.
C – Leverage The Power Of Referral Marketing
Referral marketing is a powerful way to grow every business. When you have customers who love your
products and services, they can become your best salesperson by sharing them with their friends and
family.

When you ask for referrals, you’re asking for an important favor: to recommend your product or service
to someone else. That’s why it’s important to make it as easy as possible for them to do so.

Remember: communication skills are key.

Section 5 – Network Marketing And Internet

How to start network marketing - Section 5
Network marketing has a long history behind it. The model it is based on is still highly effective, but the
world is changing. This section focuses on the importance of ‘digital’ in a growth strategy as a
networker.

Use Of The Internet

In the past, it was common to meet with people face-to-face and sell them the latest product or service.
This method is still used in some industries, but these days, there’s a better way: online networking
marketing.

When you start networking online, you can reach more people than if you were using traditional offline
methods.
Plus, it’s easier to track your actual sales and make sure you’re getting the most out of every lead. You
can’t always tell how well a face-to-face meeting is going until after it’s over—but when you run an
online campaign, everything happens right in front of your eyes.

The best part?

No need for expensive equipment or lots of training: just follow the right coaches and the internet
courses more appropriate to your needs and attitudes.

NOTE – Typically connected with the use of digital marketing channels is affiliate marketing. It has
something in common with network marketing, but there is no networking with the people involved.
Affiliate marketing is simply when you refer someone to a product or service and they purchase from
this company. You get paid for referring them to the company.

Take Advantage Of The World Wide Web And Digital Marketing

In the past, it was common to meet with people face-to-face and sell them the latest product or service.
This method is still used in some industries, but these days, there’s a better way: online network
marketing.

When you start networking marketing online, you can reach more people than if you were using
traditional offline methods.

Plus, it’s easier to track your sales and make sure you’re getting the most out of every lead. You can’t
always tell how well a face-to-face meeting is going until after it’s over—but when you run an online
campaign, everything happens right in front of your eyes.

The best part?

No need for expensive equipment or lots of training: just follow the right coaches and the internet
courses more appropriate to your needs and attitudes.

The Present And The Future: Online Network Marketing

The internet has played an increasingly large role in network marketing over the last few years, and as a
result, many network marketers have moved away from traditional offline methods of networking and
used the internet instead.

There are many advantages to using the internet in network marketing:

You can use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to connect with other people interested in
your product or service. This is a great way to reach out to people who may not have heard about your
company otherwise.
You can also use these platforms for advertising purposes—you’re not limited by what billboards or
newspaper ads can offer!
You can also get information about your customers without having to leave home: all you need is an

How To Join Network Marketing?

The first step to joining network marketing is to find a company you’re interested in. Once you find a
company, you should do some research on them. The next step is to set up an account and get all the
promotional and informational material. You should also look into whether or not there are any training
opportunities available through your chosen network marketing company.

How To Build A Network Marketing Business Quickly?

You can’t build a network marketing business quickly. It takes time and effort to develop your team,
products, and brand. However, there are some things you can do now to accelerate the process and get
started faster:

Do your research on the company or product so you know what it’s all about and why it’s different from
other options on the market.
Ask questions! If you don’t understand something, ask someone in your upline or mentor. They are
there to help you succeed.
Get involved! Join groups on social media or attend events where you can learn more about the industry
and meet potential customers or recruits.
Where And How Can I Learn Network Marketing As A Beginner?
The best place to start learning network marketing is on the internet. Check out YouTube and Google for
a ton of resources. You can also find a lot of great information in Facebook groups and other online
communities. Start by searching for “how to start [network marketing company name]” on Google or
YouTube. This will pull up all kinds of information from articles and videos to podcasts and live streams.

What Should I Look Out For When Starting A Network Marketing Business?
When you’re getting started with network marketing, it’s important to be aware of the following:

What are the company’s values and mission?

What are the products or services that they offer?
How much does it cost to start up?
Is there a training program that I can take advantage of to learn how to run a successful business?
What Is The Easiest Way To Become Successful In Network Marketing?
The easiest way to become successful in network marketing is by building a strong foundation of
knowledge. If you can learn what it takes to be successful, and then consistently apply that knowledge,
you’ll be able to build a business that will last for years. You should start by reading books or following
courses about the industry and the business model so that you understand how it works. Also, don’t
forget to surround yourself with like-minded people who will support your efforts and help push you
forward.

What Is A Pyramid Scheme?

A pyramid scheme is a business model that recruits members through the promise of payments or
services for enrolling others into the scheme, rather than supplying investments or sale of products. The
earnings of people in a pyramid scheme are not dependent on the sales, but on the number of new
members recruited.

Conclusion
The MLM industry is a growing one, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a great way to make money from
home without having to deal with the hassle of an office job or a traditional 9-5 career.

So what happens now?

Let’s say: you’re ready to start a network marketing business, you’ve heard about all the amazing things
that can happen when you build your own team, and you’re ready to get involved.

You know it takes a lot of work, but you’re excited because you know that if you can just get started and
keep going through one day at a time, eventually you’ll have all the success you ever dreamed of.

But here’s the thing: most people who start with no experience end up quitting after a few months
because they don’t know what they’re doing.

And even if they do stick with it for longer than that, they usually end up in debt and feeling like they
wasted time and money on something that didn’t work out. The truth is that those people aren’t failures
—they just didn’t have the right information before starting out.

On this page, we tried to walk you through all the steps you’ll need to take in order to start your own
profitable network marketing business from scratch.

Whether you’re brand new or an experienced marketer with years under your belt, these general
concepts will stay true all along your path.

Network marketing
Network Marketing has gained a lot of importance in India in the last decade. This is the platform that
combines flexibility of a business and paycheck system of job, to give you best of both worlds. Today in
this post, I will walk you through each step required to start and build a successful network marketing
business on your own. Grab a pen and a paper and let us get started!

Once you have decided which network marketing company to join and how to sign up with them, follow
the steps below to kick-start your business.

STEP 1 : KNOW YOUR WHY.

To be successful in any business, one must first have a dream. Your first step is to determine the WHY.
Why do you want to enter network marketing? Is it because you want to be recognised? May be you
want to live rich life? A car or a house? Education of your children? You must have a dream to keep you
going. Also, ask yourself whether you are ready to commit to it, even if it is one hour a day! In bold,
write down your dream.

ACTION — WRITE YOUR TOP FIVE DREAMS THAT YOU WISH TO FULFILL WITH THIS BUSINESS.

STEP 2: DECIDE A GOAL.

Each step is going to build a great foundation to your network marketing business. Now that you know
why you want to get in network marketing, the second question is how. With help of this guide and your
upline (recruiter), decide long term, yearly and monthly goals.

For example,

Long term goal — earn Rs. 1,00,000 a month by 2019

Yearly goal — 2017 — earn my first 30,000

Monthly goal — recruit and train 5 new leads.

A goal will help you stay focussed and a plan will tell your brain what is needed to be done to reach that
goal.

ACTION — WRITE DOWN GOALS ON A PAPER AND DISPLAY IT WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT EVERY SINGLE
DAY.

STEP 3: TAKE TRAININGS OFFERED BY YOUR COMPANY AND LEADER.

The company you are working with knows the best way to become successful in that business. Thus,
follow their training program and learn various tactics to form a successful customer base. Most of the
good MLM companies will have excellent training program. This is where choosing a good leader is
worth an effort. If you have a good leader, you will have a person to look upon, a mentor to help you
grow, and a friend to celebrate small victories together!

ACTION — ATTEND COMPANY TRAININGS AND LEARN REQUIRED SKILLS

STEP 4: MAKE A KILLER ACTION PLAN.

After you have mastered the how-to’s of business, it’s time to put goals to action. Based on your dream,
goals and trainings, plan your calendar. Create a weekly task list of the month and share it with your
Downline/ team members. Remember, in network marketing business, the more your team members
grow, the better.

Your whole action plan must focus on 1. Team members and 2. New personal recruits. You are a leader
and you are responsible for the growth of your team.

ACTION — CREATE A MONTHLY CALENDER OF TASKS FOR SELF AND TEAM MEMBERS.

STEP 5: PLAN TO ACTION.

Most of the people stop after planning, successful people convert their plans into reality. While 80% will
give up after planning, be a leader and put your effort to convert your dream into reality. Your monthly
goals should include

1. Sales of minimum required order

2. Recruiting new team members

3. Training existing team members

This is all you have to keep in mind. All your campaigns must revolve around these three important
goals. Here on this blog, you will find how to achieve success in each of these goals, so stay tuned.

ACTION — PUT YOURSELVES OUT THERE AND GENERATE POTENTIAL LEADS, TRAIN TEAM MEMBERS.

STEP 6: REVIEW YOUR ACTIONS.

At the end of each week or month, reflect on what you have achieved, the opportunities you have
missed, and what can be improved. Celebrate your victory with team members and learn from the
mistakes you made this month. Progress check session can tell you whether you are going to be
successful or not, how close are you towards your goal and prepare you to generate affective action
plans for the next month.
A journey starts with the first step.

SUCCESS FORMULA à DREAM — GOALS — TRAINING — PLAN — ACTION — REVIEW.

You have your guide to start network marketing. Now all you have to do is find your motivation and start
putting plans to actions. In no time, you will start seeing the fruits of your effort. Network marketing is
an excellent opportunity for people who wants stable, ever increasing income while being your own

4 STEPS TO NETWORK MARKETING SUCCESS

Do you want to become your own boss, work flexible hours and make money? Of course you do. One
way to get to this stage in your professional life is via network marketing.
If you’ve heard of Mary Kay, Avon or Tupperware, you’ve heard of network marketing. These household
names are all examples of this type of business, which can be a great fit for those with an
entrepreneurial mindset. But what is network marketing exactly, and how does it work? It’s time to
learn how you can get all the benefits of being a business owner without all the headaches and level of
risk.

Ready to make the next big move for your business?

WHAT IS NETWORK MARKETING?
Network marketing in business is a model that’s dependent on person-to-person sales of a product or
service. It involves developing a team of people who work together to deliver the product’s message to
a wide range of potential customers. The leaders of these teams are compensated for the products they
sell as well as the products their team members sell.

It’s also known as multilevel marketing, referral marketing and consumer direct marketing. No matter
what you call it, these are businesses where the best entrepreneurs can succeed – and even find their
true gift.

HOW DOES NETWORK MARKETING WORK?

You’ll start your network marketing business by signing up with a reputable company – some of today’s
most popular are Scentsy, Younique Cosmetics and Young Living Essential Oils. You’ll typically receive a
“starter kit” with promotional materials, supplies and other items you’ll need to get started. At first
you’ll work underneath a sponsor who can show you the ropes, provide education and give you tips
about the industry. Once you know everything there is to know about your product, you’re ready to
start selling.

Most network marketing in business takes place face-to-face. All you need to do is talk to people! Let
your passion shine through and use your communication skills to build rapport and get people
interested in your product. Here’s where the “network” part comes in: When you sign someone up, they
become part of your team. You earn commission on their sales and on sales of any people that they sign
up – and so on. The more passionate people you can find, the better.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF NETWORK MARKETING

One of the best advantages of network marketing is that you will feel like your own boss – without
taking on the responsibility of starting your own company. You’ll typically be able to work out of your
home and make your own hours, giving you the flexibility that many entrepreneurs love, with none of
the risks. Another advantage is that you’ll gain skills you can use in any future endeavor, like developing
instant connections with others, making persuasive presentations, cultivating and leading a team and
effective follow-through.

The disadvantages of network marketing are similar to those for any sales business: It will take time to
build your business, and a lot of people will tell you “no” before you start hearing “yes.” Competition
can be fierce, so you must always be a step ahead. Never forget that you are still an entrepreneur, even
though you’re part of a network marketing business. You must strengthen your resilience, build your
brand, market yourself and innovate – just as you would if you started a traditional business.
HOW TO SUCCEED IN NETWORK MARKETING
Now that you know what network marketing is, it’s time to get started. Running a successful network
marketing business doesn’t have to be time-consuming or complicated. You can create a breakthrough
with a few simple steps – change your story, change your strategy and the rest will follow.

STEP 1. FIND YOUR PASSION

According to Tony, network marketing is about “picking the right company and realizing you’re a value
creator. Whatever you enjoy the most, you’ll do the most.”

Your love and passion for a product or service drives you to properly tell its story, and that’s how you
create value. Consider what products have improved your life in the past and what you want to learn
more about. Is it supplements? Home décor? Cosmetics? When you choose something you have a deep
interest in, that passion will shine through.

There’s another benefit to choosing something you love: more sales. Today’s consumer is bombarded
with marketing, branding and advertising. They’re on high alert and know when they are being “sold” to.
If you’re just doing this for the money, they will sense it right away – and react accordingly. The best
network marketing entrepreneurs figure out how to combine their true passion with their ability to
make money. What is network marketing at its most successful? It’s your chance to make a difference in
the world – and make money while you’re at it.

STEP 2: CHOOSE THE RIGHT COMPANY

Passion is the most essential ingredient to successful network marketing – and choosing the right
company that matches your passion is equally vital. You’ll need to research carefully to locate a business
whose message, story and products or services capture your image and make you want to join their
ranks. The network marketing business you choose must also have the following traits:

At least five years in operation:

Fifty percent of businesses fail within the first year, and 80% fail within five years. Signing up with a
business that hasn’t had its doors open for at least that long is an additional risk.

Steady cash flow:

Network marketing companies with nothing to hide disclose their financial statements. Take the time to
read the statements and ensure the business is well-capitalized.

flow

customer base
Professional development:

Make sure the business provides the coaching, technology and support you need, and will send you to
any conferences and meetings required to advance your training.

Established customer base:

Sign on with an established company that already has raving fan customers. An existing customer base
allows a network marketing business to shift gears as necessary.

STEP 3. PUT YOUR RESOURCES TO WORK

Succeeding at network marketing is largely dependent on how many resources you can cultivate. Start
by discovering how you can leverage things you already have – connections, education and
achievements – into business success. You may already have dozens of relationships that you can
capitalize on to grow your network.

As you consider turning to these people, remember that you want to add value to their lives with your
product or service. Don’t pitch everyone in your phone book just because you can. Remember that the
secret to living is giving. Those who thrive in network marketing understand that it’s not about selling –
it’s about using the opportunity to cultivate an abundance mindset and improve the lives of others.

profit sharing plan

STEP 4: MANAGE YOUR MINDSET

In network marketing, the way you think about yourself matters far more than your tactics. You might
have plenty of strategies to deploy, but if you’re not in the right mindset, you won’t be able to execute
them. However, even if you have no business experience, you can succeed in network marketing if you
create the right mindset.

Before you even start network marketing, you need to learn how to cultivate positive emotions and
control your reactions to situations. Choose how you feel rather than reacting to a situation. When you
do this, life happens for you instead of to you, putting you firmly in the driver’s seat. You will face plenty
of challenges as you learn about network marketing, and viewing each setback as something you can
overcome and learn from will help you move on from temporary disappointments.

Figuring out how to succeed in network marketing doesn’t have to be time-consuming or complicated.
You can create a breakthrough with a few simple steps – change your story, change your strategy and
the rest will follow. Tony says, “Most of us get what we tolerate.” It’s time to stop tolerating anything
less than being your own boss.

Franchises Available? No

Network marketing is one of the hottest retail industries out there. It functions on the idea that you sell
products to people who in turn sell to other people who sell to other people . . . and so on. Network
marketing programs feature a minimal upfront investment--usually a few hundred dollars or less for the
purchase of a product sample kit--which gives you the opportunity to sell the product line directly to
family, friends and other contacts. Most network programs also ask that you recruit other sales reps--
those same family members, friends and acquaintances. These sales rep recruits constitute your
'downline,' and their sales generate income for you. Then whoever they recruit becomes part of their
downline as well as yours, generating income for them as well as for you. So the more people you bring
on board, the better your income potential. If you're a sales-savvy type who can convince others of the
beauty of this plan and keep them selling sales memberships (as well as products), you can earn a
substantial amount of money. And you've got lots of network marketing plans to choose from. The most
popular sell health supplements and beauty aids, but you can go with everything from long-distance
phone services to fine art prints. The advantages to this business are that start-up costs are minimal,
hours are flexible, you can start part-time, and you can work from home. About the only thing you need
in this business is a sense of salesmanship. If you've got a background in sales, you're ahead of the
game, but if not, you can still succeed. Just make sure you believe in the products and the company
you're working with. Honest enthusiasm goes a long way toward convincing others to buy.

The Market
Your customers will be anybody and everybody you know or meet. Most network marketers start off
soliciting friends and family. If there are others working for the same company in your area, they may
have organized weekly meetings at which salespeople and prospects gather to cheer each other on and
sign up new members. If so, make it a point to attend with your own prospects. It's harder for people to
decline your invitation to join in a room full of other enthusiastic newbies. In this business, it's important
to keep your distributors selling. Don't sell them a membership and ignore them, or they're liable to
drop down their link in the chain. Talk to them often about how they're doing. Go with them on sales
calls to offer moral support and enthusiasm and help sign up prospects. Many network marketers sell via
the party plan. It's easy and it's fun. Have a host or hostess invite friends to sample your products. You
sell products, sign people up, and the party-giver gets a free gift or a discount on her purchases.

Needed Equipment
You don't need any special tools or equipment, except for a phone to keep in touch with your
distributors, parent company and prospects, and a car to go out and sign people up and attend the
weekly pep-talk meetings that are a feature of this business.

Steps to Starting a Network Marketing Company

Table of Content [show]

1. Understand the Industry

Network marketing business is generally referred to as a business opportunity that is very popular with
people looking for part-time and perhaps flexible means of earning additional income. Some of the
leading network marketing companies in the United States are Forever Living Products, Fuel Freedom
International, Avon Products, Mary Kay Cosmetics, GNLD and Tupperware et al.

Network marketing which can also be referred to as Multi-level Marketing (MLM) or Pyramid selling or
affiliate marketing et al is a controversial marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not
only for the sales they are able to generate, but also for the sales of other salespeople (downlines/team
members) that they recruit.

In the United States of America and of course in most countries of the world, companies that leverage
on the network marketing approach for compensation have been a frequent subject of criticism and
lawsuits.

Generally, criticism has been focused on their similarity to illegal pyramid schemes, price fixing of their
products, high initial costs for registering (the amount needed to purchase marketing kits and first
products), emphasis on their recruitment strategies and loads of other techniques that seem not to be
plain and easy.

Interesting Statistics About the Industry

Research carried out by The Direct Selling Association (DSA) of which network marketing is under, shows
that in 1990, 25 percent of their members used network marketing, growing to 77.3 percent in 1999. By
2009, 94.2 percent of The Direct Selling Association (DSA) members were using network marketing,
accounting for 99.6 percent of sellers, and 97.1 percent of sales.

The research also shows that companies such as Avon, Electrolux, Tupperware and Kirby all initially used
single level marketing to sell their products and later introduced network marketing compensation
plans.

The Direct Selling Association (DSA) in the United States has approximately 200 registered members,
while it is estimated there are approximately 1,000 firms using network marketing in the United States
alone. It is important to state that network marketing companies operate in all the 50 states in U.S.

So, if you have the intention of starting your own network marketing company, then you should ensure
that you select a product or service that is easily sellable and of course, formulate a good reward system
for network marketers under your scheme.

You should also ensure that you conduct thorough feasibility studies and market survey before
launching your network marketing company.

Some of the factors that encourage entrepreneurs to start their own network marketing companies are
that the business is easy to set up and the start-up capital is indeed affordable especially if you are
selling the product or services of an existing company; you can actually start your own network
marketing business as a freelance from the comfort of your house.

All you need to do is to create an office or storeroom somewhere in your house and then start
marketing your products and services to your friends and invite them to join the network. Over and
above, network marketing has become one of the best options for stay at home mothers or anyone who
intends making money without registering their own personal business or directly working for an
organization.

2. Conduct Market Research and Feasibility Studies

Demographics and Psychographics
The demographic and psychographic composition of those who enroll with a network marketing
company as freelance marketers and those who need the services or products of a network marking
company are all encompassing.
To a large extent, it depends on the product or services the network marketing company is involved
with. For example, a network marketing company that retails makeup and related cosmetics can only
appeal to female folks and a network marketing company that retails aftershave and related products
can only appeal to male folks.

So, if you are looking towards defining the demographics for your network marketing company, then
you should make it all encompassing. It should include everybody with or without purchasing power
within your target area.

3. Decide Which Niche to Concentrate On

Most network marketing companies tend to operate a general network marketing business that involves
every business activity or services that a standard network marketing company is expected to offer. That
is why it seems that there are no niche areas in the industry.

These are some of the areas of specialization a start-up network marketing company can specialize in
within the advertising agencies industry;

Selling Products
Offering Services
The Level of Competition in the Industry
Surviving in the business world as a network marketing company requires more than your expertise and
knowing how to conduct your business, but also how to network with key people that matters, people
with influence to help you recruit network marketers with the capacity to take your products or services
to every nooks and crannies of the city your operating in.

The level of competition in the network marketing industry to some extent depends largely the location
of the business and of course the products you are selling or services you are offering. If you can
successfully create a unique product or services, you are likely going to experience little or no
competition.

For instance, if you are the only network marketing company that sells children toys or children related
stuffs in your location, you are likely going to face minimal competition. The major competition you will
face won’t be from fellow network marketing companies but from toy stores around you. But if the
prices of your toys are competitive and your reward system for network marketers is enticing, then you
will enjoy a fair share of the available market in you location.

When it comes to network marketing, distance is never a barrier when competing for customers and
network marketers. Your network marketing company can be in the United States and but you may have
some of the largest network of marketers in Lagos – Nigeria.

But over and above, there are several network marketing companies scattered all around the United
States and in the cyber space. So, if you choose to start your own network marketing company in the
United States, you will definitely meet stiffer competitions not only amongst network marketing
companies in the United States, but also all over the globe.
Besides, there are larger network marketing companies like Forever Living Products, Fuel Freedom
International, Avon Products, Mary Kay Cosmetics and Tupperware that determine the trends in the
industry and you should be ready to compete with them for network marketers and for customers.

4. Know Your Major Competitors in the Industry

In every industry, there are always brands who perform better or are better regarded by the customers
and general public than the others. Some of these brands are those that have been in the industry for a
long while and so are known for that, while others are best known for how they treat their customers.

These are some of the leading network marketing companies/brands in the United States of America
and also in the globe;

Forever Living Products

Fuel Freedom International
Avon Products
Mary Kay Cosmetics
Tupperware Brands Corp.
Primerica Financial Services Inc
Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc.
Oriflame Cosmetics SA
Viewer & Co. KG
Natura Cosmeticos SA
Herbalife Ltd.
Ignite Inc.
Yanbal International
Telecom Plus
Ambit Energy, L.P
USANA Health Sciences Inc.
New Era Health Industry Group, Co., Ltd. (Zhong Jian)
The Pampered Chef Ltd.
Thirty-One Gifts LLC
Nature’s Sunshine Products, Inc.
Economic Analysis
If you are looking for a business that requires relatively less stress and perhaps minimal start-up capital
to start, you can consider starting a network marketing business. The cost of running a network
marketing company especially as a freelance network marketer selling the products and services of a
company when compared to the turnover you get can be poles apart (this is applicable when you have
been able to build a robust network of vibrant and result oriented marketers).

People that venture into network marketing business can as a matter of fact start the business from
their home and still make headway in the business. This is why there are loads of stay-at-home moms
who are active network marketers all across the United States and in the globe.
As a matter of fact, the cost of running the business process from start to finish could be restricted to
the cost of making phone calls, transportation, internet subscriptions, PR and in some cases materials
such as fliers, posters and digital billboards et al. With that, it is easier to place a projection on the
profits you are likely going to make if you are able to successfully sell your products or services via the
number of network marketers you have within your network.

5. Decide Whether to Buy a Franchise or Start from Scratch

In the real sense of it, the business concept of network marketing makes it possible for anyone to
become a network marketer for a network marketing company without purchasing the franchise of the
company hence it will be right to say franchising does not really work with network marketing
companies.

So, if you are interested in the network marketing industry, you have the option of either becoming an
active network marketer with an established network marketing company or you start your own
network marketing company from the scratch.

Please note that most of the big and successful network marketing companies around started from the
scratch and they were able to build a solid business brand. It takes dedication, hard work and
determination to achieve business success and of course you can build your own network marketing
company brand to become a successful brand in your area of specialization and even go ahead to sell
your products or services and recruit network marketers both at the national level and global stage.

6. Know the Possible Threats and Challenges You Will Face

If you decide to start your own network marketing business today, one of the major challenges you are
likely to face is the presence of well established network marketing companies and also retailers or
businesses who are selling same products or offering same services that you intend selling or offering.
The only way to avoid this challenge is to create your own market; concentrate on a location that you
can easily penetrate.

Asides from unfavorable government policies, just like any other business, one of the major threats that
you are likely going to face is economic downturn. It is a fact that economic downturn affects
purchasing/spending power. Another threat that may likely confront you is the arrival of a network
marketing company or even a company retailing same products like you in same location where your
target market exists and who may want to adopt same Business model like you.

7. Choose the Most Suitable Legal Entity (LLC, C Corp, S Corp)

When considering starting a network marketing company, the legal entity you choose will go a long way
to determine how big the business can grow. Some network marketing companies design their products
and services for regional/community market, some for national market, while others for international
market via online platform.

Generally, you have the option of either choosing a general partnership or limited liability company
which is commonly called an LLC for a business such as a network marketing company. Ordinarily,
general partnership should have been the ideal business structure for a small scale network marketing
company especially if you are just starting out with a moderate start-up capital and you want to
concentrate on a region. But people prefer limited liability Company for obvious reasons.

As a matter of fact, if your intention is to grow the business and have network marketers from all across
the United States of America and other countries of the world, then choosing general partnership is not
an option for you. Limited Liability Company, LLC will cut it for you.

For example, Setting up an LLC protects you from personal liability. If anything goes wrong in the
business, it is only the money that you invested into the limited liability company that will be at risk. It is
not so for general partnerships. Limited liability companies are simpler and more flexible to operate and
you don’t need board of directors, shareholders meetings and other managerial formalities.

These are some of the factors you should consider before choosing a legal entity for your network
marketing company; limitation of personal liability, ease of transferability, admission of new owners,
investors’ expectation and of course taxes.

If you take your time to critically study the various legal entities to use for your network marketing
company, you will agree that limited liability company; an LLC is most suitable. You can start this type of
business as limited liability company (LLC) and in future convert it to a ‘C’ corporation or an ‘S’
corporation especially when you have the plans of going public.

Upgrading to a ‘C’ corporation or ‘S’ corporation will give you the opportunity to grow your network
marketing company so as to compete with major players in the industry; you will be able to generate
capital from venture capital firms, you will enjoy separate tax structure, and you can easily transfer
ownership of the company; you will enjoy flexibility in ownership and in your management structures.

8. Choose a Catchy Business Name

When it comes to choosing a name for your business, you should be creative because whatever name
you choose for your business will go a long way to create a perception of what the business represents.
Usually it is the norm for people to follow the trend in the industry they intend operating from when
naming their business.

If you are considering starting your own network marketing company, here are some catchy names that
you can choose from;

Extra Income Network Marketing, LLC

Jeff Finn Global Network Marketing, Inc.
Horn of Gold Group, Inc.
Belarus Brothers Network Marketing Company, LLC
The Green Products, Inc.
Avenues 2 Prosperity Network Marketing, LLC
Cee Plus Network Marketing Co.
Brighton Gab Network Marketing, Inc.
Flora Maples Network Marketing, Inc.
Global Moms Network Marketing Company
Mary Jay Cosmetics Ltd.
9. Discuss with an Agent to Know the Best Insurance Policies for You
In the United States and in most countries of the world, you can’t operate a business without having
some of the basic insurance policy covers that are required by the industry you want to operate from.
So, it is important to create a budget for insurance and perhaps consult an insurance broker to guide
you in choosing the best and most appropriate insurance policies for your network marketing business.

Here are some of the basic insurance policy covers that you should consider purchasing if you want to
start your own network marketing business in the United States of America;

General insurance
Health insurance
Liability insurance
Workers Compensation
Overhead expense disability insurance
Business owner’s policy group insurance
Payment protection insurance
10. Protect your Intellectual Property With Trademark, Copyrights, Patents
If you are considering starting your own network marketing company, usually you may not have any
need to file for intellectual property protection/trademark. This is so because the nature of the business
makes it possible for you to successful run the business without having any cause to challenge anybody
in court for illegally making use of your company’s intellectual properties.

But if you just want to protect your company’s logo and other documents or software that are unique to
you or even jingles and media production concepts, then you can go ahead to file for intellectual
property protection. If you want to register your trademark, you are expected to begin the process by
filing an application with the USPTO. The final approval of your trademark is subject to the review of
attorneys as required by USPTO.

11. Get the Necessary Professional Certification

Asides from the results you produce, professional certification is one of the main reasons why most
network marketing companies stand out; network marketers will consider it easier to work with you if
they know you have the major certifications in your area of business.

You are strongly encouraged to pursue professional certifications as they will go a long way to show
your commitment towards the business. These are some of the certifications you can work towards
achieving if you want to run your own network marketing business;

Certified Network Marketer

Certified Training for Direct Sales/Network Marketing
Certified Marketing Management Professional – CMMP®
AMA Certified Professional Marketer
MBA in Network Marketing
Please note that the higher your qualifications and experience (expertise), the easier it is for you to
make impact as the owner of a network marketing company.

12. Get the Necessary Legal Documents You Need to Operate

The essence of having the necessary documentation in place before launching a business in the United
States of America cannot be overemphasized especially a business like network marketing company. It is
a fact that you cannot successfully run any business in the United States without the proper
documentations. If you do, it won’t be too long before the long arm of the law catches up with you.

These are some of the basic legal documents that you are expected to have in place if you want to
legally run your own network marketing company in the United States of America;

Certificate of Incorporation
Business License
Business Plan
Non – disclosure Agreement
Employment Agreement (offer letter)
Operating Agreement for LLCs
Insurance Policy
Consulting contract documents
Online Terms of Use
Online Privacy Policy Document
Apostille (for those who intend operating beyond the United States of America
13. Raise the Needed Startup Capital
Starting a network marketing business can be cost effective especially if you choose to sell the products
or services of a company and you also choose to run the business from your home, share office space
with a friend or make use of virtual office.

Producing your products and securing a standard office/production facility is part of what will consume a
large chunk of your start-up capital, but if you choose to start the business on a small scale by retailing
the product and services of an existing company, you may not have the need to go source for fund to
finance the business.

No doubt when it comes to financing a business, one of the first things and perhaps the major factors
that you should consider is to write a good business plan. If you have a good and workable business plan
document in place, you may not have to labor yourself before convincing your bank, investors and your
friends to invest in your business.

Here are some of the options you can explore when sourcing for start-up capital for your network
marketing company;

Raising money from personal savings and sale of personal stocks and properties
Raising money from investors and business partners
Sell of shares to interested investors
Applying for loan from your bank/banks
Pitching your business idea and applying for business grants and seed funding from donor organizations
and angel investors
Source for soft loans from your family members and your friends.
14. Choose a Suitable Location for your Business
Network marketing business and most product based businesses require that you see physically with
your clients hence it must be located in a good location; a location that is prone to both human and
vehicular traffic if indeed you want to attend to loads of clients and maximize profits from the business.

The fact that you can operate your network marketing business from your home does not mean that
location has little influence on the success of a network marketing company. If you have taken your time
to study the network marketing industry, you will realize that network marketing companies are willing
to pay expensive rents in order to stay in a busy business district; a place where business activities are at
its peak.

Your clients should be able to drive down and locate your office with little or no difficulty. Vendors also
should be able to easily locate your office when they have to come submit their bid/proposals,
documents or for background checks et al.

15. Hire Employees for your Technical and Manpower Needs

On the average, there are no special technology or equipment needed to run this type of business
except for customized network marketing, accounting and social media management software
applications. In a bid to work out sales and marketing monitoring solutions for your clients, you might be
required to design a customized software application. So also, you will definitely need
computers/laptops, internet facility, telephone, fax machine and office furniture (chairs, tables, and
shelves).

When it comes to choosing between renting and leasing of an office space; the size of the network
marketing company you want to build, and your entire budget for the business should influence your
choice. If you have enough capital to run a standard network marketing company, then you should
consider the option of leasing a facility for your office; when you lease, you will be able to work with
long term planning, structuring and expansion.

As regards the number of employees that you are expected to kick start the business with, you would
need to consider your finance before making the decision. Averagely, you would need a Chief Executive
Officer or President (you can occupy this role), an Admin and Human Resource Manager, Software Apps
Developer/Programmer/IT Specialist, Network Marketers/Freelance Marketers), Business Development
Executive/marketing Executive, Customer Service Officer or Front Desk Officer, and Accountant.

Over and above, you would need a minimum of 8 key staff members to effectively run a medium scale
but standard network marketing company.

The Service Delivery Process of the Business

On the average, the way network marketing companies work varies from one company to another
company, but ideally, a standard network marketing company is expected to first and foremost develop
a product or services and then build a network marketing software app. that will enable them monitor
the progress of network marketers and their downlines.

Once network marketers are recruited into the network, they are expected to pay registration fees and
start-up fees (for the purchase of the first set of goods to be sold). The network marketers are required
to recruit network marketers under them and they are encouraged to also recruit more network
marketers as their downlines.

The truth is that if the product that a network marketing company is selling is affordable and of good
quality, it will be easier for network marketers under their network to sell the products. The more
products that are sold, the more money that the network marketer will make and of course the more
money the network marketing company will make.

It is important to state that a network marketing company may decide to improvise or adopt any
business process and structure that will guarantee them good return on investment (ROI) efficiency and
flexibility. It should be noted that the above stated business cum services process is not cast on stone.

16. Write a Marketing Plan Packed with ideas & Strategies

Generally, running a business requires that you should be proactive when it comes to marketing your
goods or services. If you choose to launch a network marketing business, then you must go all out to
employ strategies that will help you attract customers and network marketers – freelance marketers or
else you will likely struggle with the business because there are well known brands determining the
market direction for network marketing.

These are some of the marketing ideas and strategies that you can adopt for your network marketing
company;

Introduce your products or services by sending introductory letters alongside your brochure to network
marketers, stay at home moms, and residents in your chosen location.
Advertise on the internet on blogs and forums, and also on social media like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn
to get your message across, so that those on the social media or those who read blogs can know where
to go when they need to purchase your products.
Create a basic website for your business, so as to give your business an online presence.
Directly market your products and your business concept.
Engage in roadshows in targeted communities from time to time to sell your products and to recruit
network marketers.
Join local chambers of commerce and industry for industry trends and tips.
Provide discount days for your customers.
Advertise our business in community based newspapers, local TV and radio stations.
List your business on yellow pages ads (local directories).
Encourage the use of Word of mouth marketing (referrals).
17. Develop Strategies to Boost Brand Awareness and Create a Corporate Identity
If you are in business and you are not deliberate about boosting you brand awareness and
communicating your corporate identity, then you should be ready to take on whatever the society
portrays your business to be. One of the secrets of larger corporations is that they are willing to spend
fortunes year in and year out to boost their brand awareness and to continue to communicate their
corporate identity the way they want people to perceive them to be.

If your intention of starting a network marketing company is to grow the business beyond the city where
you are going to be operating from to become a national and international brand, then you must be
ready to spend money on the promotion and advertisement of your brand.

No matter the industry you belong to, the truth is that the market is dynamic and it requires consistent
brand awareness and brand boosting cum promotion to continue to appeal to your target market. Your
corporate identity has a lot to do when it comes to building a business that is profitable and can last
long.

Here are the platforms you can leverage on to boost your brand awareness and create corporate
identity for your network marketing company;

Place adverts on both print (newspapers and magazines) and electronic media platforms
Sponsor relevant community based events/programs
Leverage on the internet and social media platforms like; Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube,
Google + et al to promote your business
Install your Bill Boards on strategic locations all around your city or state
Engage in roadshows from time to time in targeted neighborhoods to retail your products and to recruit
network marketers
Distribute your fliers and handbills in target areas
Contact network marketers, stay at home moms, and residents in your chosen location informing them
about your products and your network marketing concept
List your network marketing company in local directories/yellow pages
Advertise your network marketing company in your official website and employ strategies that will help
you pull traffic to the site.
Ensure that all your staff members and network marketers/freelance sales agents wear your branded
shirts and all your vehicles and distribution trucks/vans are well branded with your company logo et al.

Follow These 7 Key Steps To Successfully Launch Your Network Marketing Business
Successful people don’t just tiptoe their way into success. They launch into it!

See, any decent business has a launch process in place. And when I look at all the successful people in
my business, they didn’t tiptoe their way into success. They launched their business. They hit it hard.
They hit it fast and they are still reaping the benefits today, years later, from what they did in the first 90
days.

Now the good news is you can always re-launch your business and start a fresh 90-day run. Even if you
just run hard for 30 days, you can create momentum that you can reap the benefits from for years to
come. It is just taking that timeframe and condensing it. Instead of spreading out your efforts over the
course of a year, condense that timeframe and talk to the same amount of people in 90 days! Then
watch what happens!

So how do you launch/ re-launch your business? What are the exact steps you need to take in order to
crush it? Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!

Follow These 7 Key Steps To Successfully Launch Your Network Marketing Business

Step #1: Know Your WHY

You've got to cut out excuses! And you've got to make some sacrifices if you're serious about your
business. What do you do on a daily basis? The truth is, you can be very serious about your business, but
your daily habits might not reflect it. You might even forget why you started in the first place.

So write down your WHY. Know why you're doing what you're doing! And have a vision for what you
want to accomplish in the long-run! And we want to challenge you - put your vision on a board, so you
can look at it every day!

Because if you're noticing that your battery's empty, you're going to show up to your business like you're
doing a chore. And that's just not a winning formula. So let's get that clarity!

Step #2: Build Your Community

Are you building your tribe? Did you start and then stop? No matter what your situation is, you need to
be building a community. And you need to have clarity about that community.

First you build a community and then you can generate leads inside that community. Makes sense?
And here's the deal. You have to have clarity for yourself so that it drives you in having a vision for who
you want to become and what you want to accomplish. That will amplify your impact!

Step #3: Draw up a Business Plan

Having a business plan might sound scary but it really isn't. Think about it, if you want to go to Florida,
you're not just going to get in the car and start driving, right? You will think about the best route or the
best places to stop along the way.

The same is true for your business. You know where you want to go. Now let's identify what exactly you
are going to do for the next 30-60-90 days!

As Jim Rohn says, "The drama is in the details." So let's write down that business plan!

Step #4: Who Can Help You?

We love this step! Because the truth is, you can have it all but you can't do it all. Most of us,
entrepreneurs, suffer from the superhero syndrome where we underestimate how long something is
going to take, but we overestimate how much we can do, and that mindset keeps us burned out. And
you know what happens when you burn yourself out, right? You are not good to your family, to your
business partners, and to your customers!

launch
So who can help you get the job done? If you want to raise up your income, you need to make sure that
your energy is not wasted on activities that:

a) bring you no money or

b) bring you no joy!

But they have to get done! And that depletes you. So now when you go to build your business, you're
just not effective. Let's break this cycle!

Do you want to find out exactly how you can do that? Check out this training >>> Strategic Outsourcing:
How To Hire And Build The Best Virtual Team!

Step #5: Test & Tweak

Testing and tweaking needs to be part of your monthly audit.

So pay attention, recognize what is working for you and do more of it! Instead of beating yourself up,
evaluate why certain strategies worked and others - didn't. Instead of being frustrated about why things
don't work the way you intended, become fascinated. Detach yourself from the emotion of it all and
look at it logically.

Then continue to step it up, test it, tweak it, test it, tweak it because you're going to fail your way to the
top! That is how that works.
Step #6: Optimize your Infrastructure
Did you know that there are 3 rules for money?

Rule #1: Generate it

Rule #2: Protect it
Rule #3: Make it work for you

That's the true freedom - making your money work for YOU!

I had to learn these lessons the hard way... Because it's not how much money you make, it's how much
money you keep.

For example, I would get so anxious because I needed to spend two weeks every year, just going over
receipts and not making any sense of the taxes we had to pay. Then I hired a bookkeeper! She's been
such a blessing! She put our receipts in order and helped me optimize the backend. Since then, my
happiness level increased exponentially!

That's why finding the fastest and more efficient way to get your tasks done, can do wonders for your
business!

Step #7: Take Massive Action
You have to be willing to outwork the next guy and take all-out massive action!

So what are you willing to do? How many humans are you going to talk to per day? Because that's what
it all boils down to. That's what's most important!

The truth is, you can make up in numbers what you lack in skill, so you've got to get after it. If you don't
like the results you've gotten thus far, think about this: how many hours were you putting into your
business and how hard were you really working?

If you don't have people looking at the information, your business is not going to move forward. You
have to have that urgency and never get complacent! If you've got big goals, don't rely on new
prospects to join because that doesn't depend solely on you. Rely on what YOU can do! So go out there
and talk to some humans!

These are the 7 steps to launch a successful business. Did you already take some of them? Have you
launched your business? If not, are you planning to re-launch it? Let us know in the comments below!
And if you found value in this training, share it with your team! Someone might need to hear this!

You must have heard about the Network marketing business. Several opinions have been cited for this
business. Some people believe, there is nothing like a network marketing business and it is just a scam.

While others have managed to earn handsome profits from the network marketing business. So, if you
want to know about the network marketing business and how it works, this blog is for you.

We have covered different aspects like what is network marketing business, how does it work,
advantages associated with network marketing, and everything you should know about network
marketing.

How to Start a Networking Business in India?

People are not clear with what is network marketing. So, beginning with the same.

What is network marketing?

Network marketing can be interchangeably used with the term MLM. MLM stands for Multi-level
marketing. The primary motive of network marketing is to sell the products directly to the consumers
who need them.

It cuts the role of middlemen and sells the products to the customers at fair prices. The network
marketing business model is different from normal businesses. Usually, the business manufactures the
products and then looks for wholesalers, retailers to sell their product.

But network marketing business has another strategy. A network of distributors is created, who start as
the customers.
If you are planning to start a business with low investment, then network marketing business is for you.
This is a great way of making customers by spending minimum on marketing. You don’t even require
paid workforce for the same.

You can start this business from your home and earn lucrative profits. The reason why it is called a multi-
level marketing business is there are multiple levels of distribution. And the chain goes on.

In the business language, a person forms a downline by word of mouth to further sell the product. In the
network marketing business, the aim of the salesman is not to just sell the products but also expect the
customer to continue the chain. This is how they develop a network and the business is called network
marketing business.

Do you know why MLM business is called direct selling business?

Direct selling cuts the role of middlemen. The products and services are sold directly to the customers. It
is beyond the traditional method (manufacturer-distributor-wholesaler-retailer-customer) of selling
products. In this method, companies deal directly with the customers.

In a network marketing business, one person sells the product to a customer and then asks him to
continue the chain. The customer who purchases products does not continue the chain for free. It runs
on commissions.

When the customer manages to sell the product or service, he receives a commission on the sale he
made. In the whole scenario, the person dealt directly with the customer and not with a wholesaler or
retailer. This is why a network marketing business is also called direct selling.

You can also form a team of happy customers. These happy customers can further sell the products of
the company. In this method, the company does not spend on traditional advertising methods like
distributing pamphlets or other advertising forms. The customer is paid for convincing others to buy the
products.

How does network marketing business work?
The next question that must be striking in your mind is – How does it work? Here we go with the
answer.
In the multi-level marketing business, companies hunt for the people who are ready to sell their
products or who are passionate about pursuing network marketing business.

As we already mentioned, the network marketing business does not work on a paid manpower. Instead,
the company offers its products to these people at discounted prices and urges them to sell and earn.

The amount that team members generated from the sales goes into the pocket of the member who sold
the product. If the customer gets well-versed, he buys more products to increase his income.

The whole strategy is to sell the products or services and prompt the purchaser to build a downline of
the people who can continue the chain. The company encourages them to sell the product and make
more customers. In return, they receive a small percentage from each sale made by the members of
their respective downlines.

The network building goes on. Like it starts from the primary distributors, and every individual is
expected to build their downline and the chain keeps growing. It is also known as referral marketing as
these recruits are referred to the company through primary distributors.

So, the work is to find enthusiasts who are willing to purchase these products and continue the chain.
The earning strategy of the people involved in this chain is- they earn through the sales they make and
their downline members make.

Now the question is, how does the company earn. The company earns from the sale of their products.
The sale that goes on. The company manages to earn heavy profits without investing in marketing.
Marketing is expensive and by adopting this business a company can cut the cost of marketing.

Is network marketing a Pyramid scheme?

The marketing model of the MLM business looks like a pyramid. The company is placed on the top,
primary distributors in the second row, and other members in third and it goes on.

Although, the model looks like a pyramid in the legal sense it is not a pyramid scheme. It is called
pyramid selling, but it is not a pyramid scheme. The concept of the pyramid scheme is different from the
concept of MLM business.

One of the basic differences between a pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing is that a pyramid
scheme is not legal while network marketing is legal. A pyramid scheme is established with the motive of
allowing the company to scam the distributors and arrogate their money.

Although both of them aim at developing networks, the pyramid scheme uses the network to grab
money illegally while network marketing provides a fair chance to recruits to generate income.

Network marketing runs on legit products while a pyramid scheme is a scam. Nowadays, people are
running a pyramid scheme in the name of a network marketing business. You should understand the
difference between the two.
People who are forwarding the pyramid scheme ask their distributors to pay registration fees, while
network marketing business never does that. One of the most important differences is- if a person fails
to sell the products and wishes to return these products MLM companies buy them back for a
percentage of the amount distributor originally paid.

But under the pyramid scheme, there is no such option. The products they sold to the distributors are
final.

You can distinguish between them both. As pyramid scheme starts with an objective of earning money
and they prefer recruits over sales. While an MLM business aims at increasing sales and not the number
of recruits.

Shall I go for Network Marketing Business?

If you are a laborious enthusiast with exceptionally amazing communication and convincing skills, then
network marketing business is a perfect choice for you. Like any other business, network marketing
business also needs efforts. You can earn but for that, you have to work hard.

People make MLM business their second job. As network marketing business is not time-consuming. You
can manage other activities along with working for a network marketing company. As we said, you can
do this business from home as well.

So, if you can convince people and make sales, then the network marketing business is the right choice
for you.

6. Grievance Redressal Process-

Direct selling entity must have a consumer grievance redressal mechanism. It should take the complaints
of the consumer in an organized manner and provide solutions within a decent period. The company
should value the customers and his words.

7. Breach of Guidelines-
If a company that claims to direct selling entity but does not consider following the above-mentioned
guidelines shall not be considered a direct selling entity in the eyes of law and should remain prepared
to bear the legal repercussions.

Is it a fraud?
Do you also think, that network marketing is a scam? It is a genuine proposition to perceive in that way
as several companies are pursuing pyramid schemes in the name of network marketing. Firstly, network
marketing is not a pyramid scheme.

A pyramid scheme is a white-collar crime. It is a money game, that prefers recruits over sales. While a
network marketing business aims to earn through sales. Usually, a pyramid scheme does not deal with
real products or if it has products that are just to mislead customers.

Network marketing aims to provide people with a fair chance of generating income by selling their
products. But, the benefits from network marketing are directly proportional to the efforts of an
individual. It runs on a rule- The more you work, the more you earn.

In a pyramid scheme, if one person earns then another person has to lose money. But this is not the
case with the network marketing business. Everyone earns based on their efforts. Many companies
present a network marketing business as a get-rich-quick scheme, which is not true. It takes time to
deliver results.

A small discussion on what is network marketing. Network marketing is a serious business that does not
have a complicated structure. You don’t have to follow expensive marketing strategies or make sizeable
efforts like other businesses. You just have to sell the products and lure other people to join the network
marketing company.

Networking

The basic concept of a network marketing company can be concluded from this statement by J. Paul
Getty, “I would rather make 1 percent on the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent on my efforts”. This
is how it works.
A network marketing business runs in an organized manner. They work for decided hours in a week and
then recruit other people to work and sell their products. Every individual keeps on creating a downline
and the process goes on.

Network marketing is not a scam for sure. It has been accepted as a legal business form in the eyes of
law. So, if you are planning to engage in a network marketing program, go for it. The only thing required
is consistency. You have to work consistently to witness the fruit.

10 Tips to make your network marketing business successful

People scare to enter the network marketing business due to misunderstandings. A network marketing
business has low success rates, but that doesn’t mean it is always destined to fail. Here we go with tips
to make your network marketing business a big success.

Find a company with the products of your choice- People get lured to the potential income they can
earn from network marketing business. They forget to consider the type of products that the company is
selling.

So, whenever you plan to step into the network marketing industry, make sure you like the product. You
must have enough knowledge of its benefits so that you can convince other people to purchase the
product and continue the chain.

You cannot give your 100% if the product is not of interest to you. Instead of focusing on what you can
earn, focus on what you can give. Consider your comfort for sure. Otherwise, you will lose interest soon.
Follow ethics- Like any other business, a network marketing business also demands ethical functioning.
Make sure you are not making use of unfair practices to sell the product or convince the client. Be
genuine and instead of using deception to lure the customers, explain the real scenario and persuade
them to get into it only if they are liking it.
Don’t force or pester your family members or friends- One of the key points to keep in mind, before
beginning the network marketing business is to persuade and not force. Don’t annoy your family
members and friends by constantly asking them to purchase your products.

They may consider it fishy. Talk to them once, ok twice and if they don’t like the product, then leave.
Don’t pester them about your business. You can be successful in the network marketing business, only if
you treat it like any other business. Consider what your customer wants and then sell.
Find your target market- You cannot go to anyone and start bragging about your products. You need to
identify your target market. You need to find those people who can genuinely take interest in your
products.

This prevents wastage of efforts and energy. Usually, network marketers commit this mistake. They start
discussing their idea with everyone, which should be avoided.
Share your product- You need to share your product. Just like any other business, you need to share the
details of your product. Either you can do it by word of mouth or by using other inexpensive marketing
tricks.
You can use digital marketing techniques to promote your product. You can start a website or go on
social media to let people know about your product. Promoting a network marketing business through
digital marketing could be a great idea.

We, at Traffic Tail, can help you in designing the website after considering your requirements.

Set a goal for parties- While starting a network marketing business, decide who should know about your
product. It should be done in a goal-oriented manner. You should know which group can help you in
achieving your goals and then move accordingly.

Remember it is a person-to-person business. Personal touch matters. Try to maintain the essence of
personal touch.
Sell the solution- Many times businesses serve as a solution to various problems. This is a great way of
promoting and increasing sales. Like other businesses, you have to follow this strategy. Try to present
your product as a solution to the problem of customers. You can increase sales and generate income.
Choose the right way of marketing- Your marketing should be next level. You should choose the right
way of promoting your business. Don’t forget to consider these three points- target market, what it
needs, what you can offer, and how it can be found.

In the network marketing business, word of mouth works perfectly. But it should be combined with
other marketing strategies for the best results.
Outshine your competitors- No business is free of competition, so, is MLM business. You need to
research and find your competition. Analyze his strategies and make your plan accordingly. If you want
to outshine your competitors, you need to offer something unique or uniquely. You can start giving
rewards from your side or you can introduce other offers.
Understand your product- Don’t jump on any marketing strategy only because your competitor is using
it. Understand your product and choose your strategy accordingly. Their strategy may or may not work
in the case of your product.

Cons of network marketing business

It doesn’t work for most people. The reason could be the lack of skills. Although, it is said you can begin
a network marketing business with no skills. But the truth is you must possess extraordinary persuasive
skills to start this business.

You should know how you can sell your product. Another reason could be, people lack consistency. They
want results without much effort, which is not going to work here.
It is a time-consuming business. You cannot get overnight success. You need to have the patience to
witness measurable results.
People fail to develop networks and end up selling products to friends and family members. They are
not confident enough to talk to the new customer and convince them to buy the product.
If you can’t take rejection. Then this is not your cup of tea. You have to face a lot of rejections. As many
people consider it as fraud. But nothing would be appreciable if you appease them with the truth and
convince them to buy your product.
People are cautious. And to prevent themselves from scams, they resist real marketing businesses as
well.
Before entering into the network marketing industry, you must analyze the pros and cons of the
business and if you are ready for both then only you should step in.

Key takeaways
Choosing the right company is the key to success. Investigate the company. Confirm its legality and then
get associated with it. This can be done through a quick search on the internet.

Also, you should research and find the best company for you. Some questions that should be
considered-
What is the age of the company?
What is the status of the sales of the company?
What is the reputation of the company?
You must check the reputation of the CEOs and other leaders of the company. If they have been
involved in any scam or fraud then you should avoid that firm
Check the product. Since you are going to earn by selling this product. Make sure the product is reliable
and is not inappropriate. It should appeal to your interest so that you can pitch to people for the
product. Consider the following questions, while testing the authenticity of the product.
Is this product safe?
Is this product can be used by me and my family?
Is the pricing of the product fair?
One of the obvious points to be kept in mind is reading the contract. Read your contract carefully. Don’t
sign anything. Don’t believe what they say. Read the contract, clear your doubts, and sign when you get
satisfied.
Making a business plan can help you here as well. Like any other business, a network marketing business
can also function smoothly with a good plan. Prepare your plan. It may or may not concern the
company.

It should be prepared for your personal use. You can consider writing marketing strategies, your target
market, your long-term and short-term goals, working hours, etc. You can update your plan anytime you
want.
If you are new in the network marketing business, make sure you attend all the meetings and training
sessions to get acquainted with the way of dealing with and persuading the customers.
You can build your leads by using word of mouth, or other inexpensive marketing methods. You can also
go for social media marketing or develop a website to promote your products.

A network marketing business can be started with a small investment and if done properly, it can
generate income. And the key to success is patience and hard work. Before starting a network marketing
business, consider the pros and cons and every other relevant matter.
You need to be aware of the pyramid scheme. As there are many companies, who are running a pyramid
scheme in the name of network marketing. Also, you should choose the product carefully. The product
you are choosing must have space in the area of your interests. Doing this can allow you to persuade
your customers easily.

Also, hone up your communication skills before stepping into the network marketing industry. Try to
learn some tact to convince people. Learn different tact to initiate the conversation.

Make sure your product serves as a solution to the customer’s problem. Try to identify their problem
and if your product can solve it, then introduce them to your product. For an instance, your cousin’s
wife is suffering from back pain and you have a balm that can help her, so this is the opportunity.
Introduce your product to him and you can further ask him to join the business.

This is how you can reach people out and sell your products. Make downlines, sell products and enjoy
the income generated from the network marketing business.

2. The Benefits of Starting a Network Marketing Business
The benefits of starting a network marketing business are numerous. For one, it is a great way to earn
extra money. In addition, it also provides an opportunity to meet new people and build relationships.
Furthermore, it can help you learn new skills and knowledge. Finally, it can also give you a sense of
satisfaction and achievement.

Network marketing is a type of business in which products or services are sold through a network of
independent distributors. These distributors are not employees of the company, but rather are
independent contractors. They market the products or services of the company to potential customers
and then earn a commission on any sales they make.

The vast majority of network marketing businesses are operated by small companies. This is because the
start-up costs for a network marketing business are relatively low. In addition, the overhead costs for a
network marketing business are also low. This is because there are no employees to pay, and no physical
products to inventory or ship.

One of the biggest benefits of starting a network marketing business is that it can be done part-time.
This means that you can earn extra money without quitting your day job. In fact, many people who start

3. The Different Types of Network Marketing Businesses
Network marketing businesses come in all shapes and sizes. There are small businesses, large
businesses, and everything in between. There are also a variety of different business models that
network marketing businesses can follow. The most common business model is the pyramid scheme. In
a pyramid scheme, there is one person at the top of the pyramid who recruits a bunch of people to join
the business. These people then recruit more people, and so on and so forth. The people at the bottom
of the pyramid make very little money, while the person at the top make a lot of money.

Another common business model is the MLM, or multi-level marketing, model. In this model, there are
several levels of distributors, with each level getting a percentage of the sales made by the level below
it. The people at the top make the most money, while the people at the bottom make very little.

The last common business model is the direct sales model. In this model, there is no pyramid or
hierarchy. Instead, everyone is on their own to sell products directly to customers. The company makes
money by taking a percentage of each sale.

Network marketing businesses can be successful if they have a good product or service to sell and if they
have a good marketing plan. There are many different ways to market a network marketing business,
including online marketing, offline marketing, and word-of-mouth marketing.

If you're thinking about starting a network marketing business, it's important to choose the right
business model for you. Consider your own strengths and weaknesses, as well as the size of your target
market, before deciding which model to follow.

If you're thinking about starting a network marketing business, one of the first things you'll need to do is
develop a business plan. A network marketing business plan is a written document that outlines the
goals and objectives of your business, as well as the strategies you'll use to achieve them.

It's important to have a business plan because it will help you stay organized and focused on your goals.
Without a plan, it's easy to get sidetracked or discouraged. And if you ever want to attract investors or
partners, a business plan is essential.

If you're not sure where to start, there are plenty of resources out there to help you write a network
marketing business plan. The Small Business Administration has a helpful guide, and there are also many
templates and examples available online.

With your goals in mind, start putting together your marketing strategy. This is where you'll decide how
you're going to reach your target market and what kind of messages you want to send them. There are a
lot of different marketing channels you can use, so it's important to choose the ones that will work best
for your business.

Finally, don't forget to create a budget for your marketing activities. This will help you stay on track and
make sure you're not spending more than you can afford to.

Developing a network marketing business plan may seem like a lot of work, but it's worth it. By taking
the time to develop a strong plan, you'll be setting yourself up for success from the start.

build a marketing strategy around it.

2. Create A Business Plan.

A business plan is essential for any business, but especially for a network marketing business. This
document will lay out your goals, strategies, and how you plan on achieving them. Having a solid
business plan will make it easier to get funding and support from others.

3. Build A Strong Team.

In network marketing, your team is everything. They're the ones who will be out there working to build
business and sell your products or services. So it's important to take the time to build a strong team of
people you can trust. Look for people with the same vision and values as you, and who are passionate

7. Growing Your Network Marketing Business
If you're reading this, chances are you're considering starting a network marketing business. Perhaps
you've been approached by someone about an opportunity, or maybe you've seen an ad or social media
post promising easy income. Whatever the case may be, starting a network marketing business can be a
great way to earn extra money - but only if you do it right.

There's no denying that network marketing is a great way to earn money. But like any business, it takes
hard work, dedication, and the willingness to learn and grow. If you're not willing to put in the effort,
your business will likely fail.

Here are a few tips to help you succeed in network marketing:

1. Believe In The Product Or Service You're Selling.

If you don't believe in what you're selling, why would anyone else? People can sense when you're
passionate about something, and they'll be more likely to believe in it too.

2. Don't Try To Sell To Everyone.

The quickest way to fail in network marketing is to try to sell to everyone. Not everyone is going to be
interested in what you're selling, and that's okay. Focus on finding people who are actually interested in
your product or service.

3. Build Relationships.
Network marketing is all about relationships. The people you work with are more likely to do business
with you if they like and trust you. Take the time to get to know the people you're working with, and
don't just see them as potential customers or clients.

4. Be Patient.
Building a successful network marketing business takes time. Don't expect to see results overnight - it
takes hard work and dedication. Be patient and don't give up, and you'll eventually see the fruits of your
labor.

5. Be Willing To Learn And Grow.

The most successful people in network marketing are always learning and growing. They're constantly
looking for ways to improve their skills and knowledge. If you're not willing to learn and grow, your
business will likely stall or even fail.

Starting a network marketing business can be a great way to earn extra money - but only if you do it
right. Keep these tips in mind, and you'll be on your way to success.

8. Managing and Evaluating Your Network Marketing Business
Network marketing is a business model in which companies contract with independent salespeople to
sell their products and services. The salespeople are typically not employees of the company, but work
for commission. Network marketing is also known as direct selling or multilevel marketing.

The network marketing business model has been around for centuries, with early examples dating back
to the 18th century. However, the modern network marketing business model began to take shape in
the early 1900s, with the advent of companies like Amway and Mary Kay.

Today, there are hundreds of network marketing companies operating in a wide variety of industries,
from health and wellness to home and office products. And while the vast majority of network
marketing companies are legitimate businesses, there are a few bad apples that give the industry a bad
name.

If you're thinking about starting a network marketing business, or if you're already involved in one, it's
important to know how to manage and evaluate your business. Here are a few tips:

1. Set Realistic Goals.

It's important to have realistic expectations when you're starting a network marketing business. Don't
expect to get rich quick; most successful network marketers take years to build up their businesses. And
don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate results; it takes time to build a sales team and
generate sales.

2. Plan Your Work And Work Your Plan.

One of the keys to success in network marketing is to have a well-thought-out business plan. You need
to know how much money you need to invest in your business, how you're going to generate leads, and
what your sales goals are. Once you have a plan, stick to it and don't deviate from it.

3. Be Professional.
If you want to be successful in network marketing, you need to act like a professional. That means
dressing appropriately for meetings, being punctual, and following up with people in a timely manner.
You also need to be honest and ethical in your dealings with customers and prospects.

4. Keep Good Records.

One of the most important things you can do in any business is to keep good records. That way, if
there's ever any question about what happened, you can go back and look at your records to see what
happened. In network marketing, it's especially important to keep track of your customers and
prospects so you can follow up with them properly.
5. Evaluate Your Results.
It's important to regularly evaluate your results so you can see what's working and what's not. Keep
track of your sales, leads, and customers, and look at your conversion rates regularly. If you're not
seeing the results you want, make changes to your business plan and see if that makes a difference.

Network marketing can be a great way to build a successful business, but it takes hard work and
dedication. If you're willing to put in the effort, though, it can be a very rewarding experience.

9. Tips for Success in Network Marketing
Network marketing is a business model in which individuals earn income by recruiting new members to
a company and then earning a commission on the products or services they sell. The industry has been
around for decades, but it has seen a resurgence in recent years as more people look for ways to make
extra money.

If you're thinking about starting a network marketing business, there are a few things you should keep in
mind. First, you need to find a company that you're passionate about. The products or services should
be something you believe in and would be happy to promote to your friends and family.

Once you've found a company, do your research and make sure it's a reputable one. There are a lot of
scams out there, so you want to be sure you're working with a legitimate company.

Once you've joined a company, it's important to set some goals. What do you want to achieve in your
first year? How much income do you want to bring in? What kind of lifestyle do you want to live?

It's also important to create a marketing plan. This will help you identify your target market and figure
out the best way to reach them. There are a lot of different ways to market your business, so you'll need
to experiment to find what works best for you.

Finally, don't give up. Network marketing takes time and effort, but it can be very rewarding. If you stick
with it and work hard, you can achieve success.

Network Marketing Meaning and How It Works

What Is Network Marketing?

Network marketing is a business model that depends on person-to-person sales by independent
representatives, often working from home. A network marketing business may require you to build a
network of business partners or salespeople to assist with lead generation and closing sales.

There are many reputable network marketing operations, but some have been denounced as pyramid
schemes. The latter may focus less on sales to consumers than on recruitment of salespeople who may
be required to pay upfront for expensive starter kits.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Network marketing appeals to people with high energy and strong sales skills, who can build a profitable
business with a modest investment.
A network marketing business can be a single-tier program, whereby you sell the products, or multi-tier,
where you also recruit additional salespeople.
Beware of network marketing companies that create many tiers of salespeople or require you to
purchase expensive products or training material up-front, Make sure to thoroughly research the
company before you join.
How Network Marketing Works
Network marketing is known by a variety of names, including multilevel marketing (MLM), cellular
marketing, affiliate marketing, consumer-direct marketing, referral marketing, or home-based business
franchising.
Companies that follow the network marketing model often create tiers of salespeople—that is,
salespeople are encouraged to recruit their own networks of salespeople. The creators of a new tier (or
"upline") earn commission on their own sales and on sales made by the people in the tier they created
(the "downline"). In time, a new tier can sprout yet another tier, which contributes more commission to
the person in the top tier as well as the middle tier.

Thus, the earnings of salespeople depend on recruitment as well as product sales. Those who got in
early and are in a top tier make the most.

The FCC advises that that single-tier network marketing operations tend to be more reputable than
multi-tier schemes.1
Advantages and Disadvantages of Network Marketing
There is some stigma attached to the networking marketing business, especially those with multiple
tiers, which can be characterized as pyramid schemes—that is, the salespeople in the top tier can make
impressive amounts of money on commissions from the tiers below them. The people on the lower tiers
will earn much less. The company makes money by selling expensive starter kits to new recruits.

The appeal of network marketing is that an individual with a lot of energy and good sales skills can
create a profitable business with a modest investment.

A good rule of thumb, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), is that an operation that
ensures compensation which is based on actual sales to real customers tends to be more reputable than
multi-tier schemes, in which people make money based on the number of distributors they recruit.1

Special Considerations
Anyone considering joining a network marketing operation should do their research before making a
decision. Consider these questions:

Was it pitched as a chance to make money by selling products or by recruiting others?

What is the track record of the company's founders?
Are you personally enthusiastic about the products?
Are people you know enthusiastic about the products?
Is the product being promoted effectively?
Do you foresee a relatively fast pathway to profits or a long time treading water?
Is Network Marketing a Pyramid Scheme?
While network and multi-level marketing programs have been accused of being pyramid schemes, there
are some important differences. While those who are able to recruit more members into the program
are often able to enjoy greater residual commissions, network marketing is a legitimate and legal
business structure that offers real products and services sold to customers.

Will I Make Money by Joining a Network Marketing Program?

It is certainly possible, although not probable. Some people do enjoy great success at network
marketing, largely due to their ability to recruit more members to the network. There are two main
revenue sources: selling products, and commissions from sales made by team members downline. The
more people there are downline from you, the more money you will accrue - the larger the team you
can recruit, the more money you can make.

Most people who join legitimate network marketing programs make little or no money. People may
actually lose money. Some may become involved in an illegal pyramid scheme and not realize that they
have joined a fraudulent venture, and can lose everything they invest. Do your research and ask around
before diving in.

What Are Some Examples of Network Marketing Programs?

Several MLM programs exist such as Tupperware, Avon products, Rodan + Fields, Amway, Herbalife,
Mary Kay, among several others.

What Is the Top-Grossing Network Marketing Program?

Amway consistently tops the list. Top-selling brands for Amway are Nutrilite vitamin, mineral and dietary
supplements, Artistry skincare and color cosmetics, eSpring water treatment systems and XS energy
drinks—all sold exclusively by independent Amway Business Owners. In 2021, it brought in $8.9 billion in
revenue.2

Network Marketing Business Setup: What I Wish I Knew Before Starting!
There are a couple of things I wish I knew before starting a network marketing business — let’s just say
I’ve learned a lot of things the hard way — but I’ve come out a stronger businesswoman in the process.

If you’re thinking of starting your own network marketing business you need to do as much research as
possible before you get going and this is the perfect start!

We’ll be exploring what you need to think about when it comes to starting your business, the ins and
outs of how to start a business in the UK, what I personally struggled with, managing time and
expectations with results and the challenges of being your own badass boss.

Settle in and let’s dive right into it!

Network Marketing Business Setup

What To Consider When Starting Your Own Network Marketing Business In The UK
Working for yourself can be very fulfilling:

You can do something that you’re more passionate about or interested in.
Choose your own hours and have more flexibility in your day.
Work around other commitments like your children.
Work from home.
Have more power over your income.
Answer to no one but yourself – uh yes please!
However, there can be a few downsides:

Working long hours and weekends.

Never really being able to switch off from work.
Dealing with an irregular income.
Having to do your own bookkeeping and tax returns.
Limited or no access to employment benefits like paid leave.
Expectation

VS

Reality

For me, when I started my network marketing business with Forever, the downsides were and still are a
lot less than if you were to start a business from scratch because:
You choose how many hours you are comfortable working when getting started, so you don’t have to
sacrifice time with the family if you don’t want to.
You can keep your full-time job while building the business until you start earning enough to replace it
completely.
You can earn a part-time or full-time income.
You will have mentors who will support you along the journey so you don’t have to figure it all out
yourself.
You develop a community that you work with so you don’t feel alone even though it’s your own
business.
It’s low risk.
There’s already an established business plan and model in place that you can work off so you don’t have
to create your own.
If you’re looking for some alternative options on how to work from home,
read the ultimate WFH guide here!

The Different Kinds Of Business Entities
That You Can Register
Sole Trader
A sole trader is often the best way to go for starting a business in the UK as it’s simpler and has a lower
cost to set up, it also has flexibility with expenses, but you’re personally responsible for your business’s
debts and you’ll also have some accounting responsibilities to tend to.

In an MLM business, I suggest registering within 3 months of starting trade with selling products, but if
you’re only a customer then it’s not necessary.

Find out more about being a sole trader and how to register.

Private Limited Company (Ltd)

You would look at becoming a LTD company in the UK when your profit turnover is £50,000 or more.
With a limited company your finances are separate from your personal finances, but there are more
reporting and management responsibilities.

It’s always best to seek advice from an accountant, but the company set up is easy enough for you to do
yourself.

Partnership
A partnership is a pretty straightforward way for two or more people to run a business together.

You could consider registering as a partnership before a LTD and then bring a family member into the
network marketing company — this is often less expensive and has less paperwork than going the LTD
route.
You share responsibility for your business’s debts with your partner and you’ll also have accounting
responsibilities like the other structures mentioned.

Find out more about being in a partnership and how to register.

Often new network marketing businesses do not start out as a LTD, most of the time you’ll likely need to
register as a sole trader.

I’ve outlined three of the most common legal business structures above, but I suggest that you read up
further on these and consult a professional so you can decide on the best option for you.

Network Marketing Business Setup

The Network Marketing Industry:
Business Setup & Strategy
When you’ve just signed up to build your very own business through network marketing, there are a
couple of things to think about to set yourself up for network marketing success.

This is not an exhaustive list, but it does cover some key areas I suggest you give a proper think over.

Read “23 Reasons Why Network Marketing is the Biz To Be In Right Now”

Draw Up a Budget
Firstly and most importantly draw up a budget and get clear on what your monthly costs will be.

A network marketing business is great because there’s usually only a small initial investment fee when
you sign up and monthly costs are low.

With Forever, we encourage people to start with the ‘Start Your Journey Kit’ which is only £199.75 and
then they can invest as big or small as they like from there.

Ideally you’d need a laptop or a smartphone — many just use their smartphone — and WIFI to get going
so overheads are minimal when getting your business off the ground and operational.

As your business grows this list will expand and costs may include:

Setting up and hosting a website.

Advertising and marketing.
Business Plan

In Forever (and in many other similar successful companies) they already have a proven business model
and plan that you plug into — that’s the beauty of this business, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

What is pertinent is creating a business plan that outlines your business goals over the short term and
long term and your plan of action for reaching them.
This is something that you don’t have to do alone — you could have a mentor like me who would be
able to support you with this.

Paying Taxes
Having your own business means having to sort out your own tax.

This can make you feel pretty barmy at first if you haven’t done it before, but there are plenty of
accountants and bookkeepers who won’t charge an arm and a leg to help you with this.

A few tips I have when it comes to taxes are:

Mitigate any tax liability by speaking to your accountant about what you can expense through the
company.
Work smart with your money/profit by investing in tax free savings accounts or retirement annuities.
Keep receipts of your spending.
Is a Business Bank Account Necessary?
Whether or not to open a business bank account will depend on which business entity you register when
starting up a business in the UK.

Usually if you’re starting out as a sole trader, using your personal bank account in the beginning is easy
enough and then as your business grows you can look at opening a business bank account if you decide
to register an LTD.

What is great is that you can get free business banking for three banks in the UK — so it won’t cost you a
penny.

Should I Hire An Accountant?

It’s always wise to seek advice from a professional accountant.

What works for someone else may not be right for you because of your personal circumstances so it’s
best to double check with someone qualified to know.

Often an initial 30 minute consultation can be free or low cost and it can help you in the long term.

Any Legalities/Compliance Regulations to Be Aware Of?

Make sure to keep all business expenses as mentioned already and follow the company policy for your
network marketing company — and all should be dandy!

Protecting Your Business From a Legal and Disaster Perspective?

Forever has product liability so this isn’t really something you have to worry about. The only time this
will be necessary is if you run any events in public spaces and then you will require public liability.
Record Keeping
Make this a habit for your business dealings whether it be for expenses, important emails or documents
etc.

Network Marketing Business Setup

Building Your Network Marketing Business:
Important Aspects
Choose The Right Business Mentor
The person you join and sign up to the business with, is the same person you will be working with
directly — so it’s important that you get on, have similar values, feel inspired and motivated by them,
they’re empathetic, they’ve got systems in place that you can follow and that they’ve achieved what the
company has to offer.

No marketing know-how is required to get started on your journey — just the drive and passion to learn
and succeed!

This person doesn’t necessarily need to be direct to you if you are introduced by someone newer as long
as you have the opportunity to be mentored and coached by them.

Many have achieved success without mentors, but if i was looking to start with a new company now, I
would look at how many successful leaders are in their network.

Jess Campbell Quote

Develop a Powerful Message
Think about what problem you are solving that potential customers are willing to pay for?

This is often called the value proposition and think about why your business will be operationally and
financially successful — then develop a powerful message with this in mind.

Whilst this step is important for the future growth of your business, it is only something that you will be
able to hone in on over time so don’t sweat it too much in the beginning.

As with everything enough time and experience will show you what messaging resonates with you
personally and that of your market!

20 Must-Read Network Marketing Books To Maximise Your Earnings in 2020

Create a Brand and Identity

Get your business image in order by creating a personal brand like I have — again, this will only begin to
take shape in your mind over time and you don’t need to fuss over it too much in the beginning while
you’re learning the ropes.

Starting something is always half the battle won!

Many network marketing companies like Forever allow you to create your own “personal brand”, but
check first what is allowed in the guidelines.

Develop an identity that reflects your values and the way you want to be perceived by your target
market.

Do this by getting a logo designed and use a consistent colour scheme and fonts across all your
marketing materials.

When you’re ready set-up a website and get any other necessary pieces of marketing together like
business cards etc.

There are easy-to-use design platforms like Canva that make it quick, easy and even free to design your
own attractive materials and social media images.

That being said, most companies will already have an amazing resource library that will equip you with
everything you’ll need to get moving!

Network Marketing Business Setup

Natalie Heeley Quote
Focus on The Customer and Fully Understand The Market
There are many examples of companies out there that don’t always have the best product/service or are
not first to market, yet are very successful because they have mastered online marketing and sales —
get good at this and you can sell anything, especially something you truly believe in!

Research the demographics of your potential customer base and get to know and understand their
buying habits.

My market is mums because I’m a mum and I can relate to them and understand what they might want
or need.

Look at competitors, browse their websites and understand how they market themselves and gain
prospects.

Natalie Heeley Quote

Are There Pitfalls of Recruiting The Wrong People/Growing The Business Incorrectly?
You can never really recruit the wrong person, some people build a business, others don’t and just stay
shoppers, and some can lead you to someone else.

The most important thing is having a duplicatable system that everyone can follow — you can not teach
what you don’t do yourself or are not prepared to do yourself.

Start Whilst Being Employed – If You Can

Before starting a business in the UK try not to quit your job initially just to work on your business.

I suggest you start building your business part-time in the beginning if you’re working, that way you
keep your steady income while you build your business.

As soon as you feel comfortable with what you’re earning you can let your job go and build full-time.

Many network marketers run their business as a secondary income — it just depends what kind of
flexibility and income you’re looking for!

If you’re a stay-at-home mum then you may have more time to put in, in which case you can go full in
guns blazing.

Who To Consult For Support?

If you are not getting support from your direct upline, I suggest working up towards someone you can
follow or find your own mentor in network marketing and see how you can use their advice/systems for
your own business.

What I Personally Struggled With In Building a Network Marketing Business

I really struggled with having the confidence to start, fear of speaking in front of groups and fear of
rejection as I was a pretty shy person.

Many people often feel this way when starting, but if you’re committed and want something enough,
you’ll do what it takes to overcome those fears.

Network Marketing Business Setup

How to Manage Time When Starting Your Own Business and Working a Full-Time Job/Being a Stay-at-
Home Mum
It is important to plan time in your diary for your daily activities — so blocking out family time, business
time, you time and sticking to it. This helps me immensely.

Make sure you do something in your business in a small way every day. Consistency is key!

Each evening write down a list of the 7 things you want to achieve the next day and then work down
that list from number one first.

This way you will get to the bottom rather than cherry picking. If you only get to 4 then 5, 6, 7 become 1,
2, 3 the next day.

What Are The Challenges of Being Your Own Boss as Well as Managing Emotions and Expectations in
Business?
It’s a rollercoaster ride and like anything in life it’s the hard days that make you appreciate the great
days even more.
Start each day by drawing a line in the sand as a new day. Be prepared to do what other people are not
prepared to do and you will achieve even your biggest dreams!

When it comes to being your own boss, knowing when to switch off is tough and you can often feel
guilty when you’re not working and spending time with the family and vice versa.

Learning not to procrastinate is a big one, realising that your time is precious and that you should
respect the tasks you’ve committed to.

Ultimately when the going gets tough the buck stops with you.

You can end up being too hard on yourself but equally you can be too easy on yourself, so it’s about
finding that balance.

Key Takeaways That Helped Me Get Where I Am Today

Nothing is ever a mistake or a waste of time as there is always a lesson in it. Every failure is a lesson you
will be able to share with your downline and help them from making the same mistakes.
Making a plan is the best way forward!
Always work outside of your comfort zone as that’s where you will truly grow.
By working on your mindset daily half the battle is already won.
Believe in yourself and be the person that inspires you when you come across challenges or fears — just
step into their shoes and be them!

We all remember Tupperware and The Pampered Chef and their products that were a part of our daily

Work only when you want and the way you want. Well, Network Marketing is the name of the game,
which is common for both these brands and many other such brands.

What is Network Marketing?
A business model that involves selling products or services from person to person is called Network
Marketing. It requires building a team of people capable of communicating the product's message to a
wide audience. The leaders and the team members working for the brand receive compensation for the
products sold.

At times, it is also called referral marketing, direct selling, and multilevel marketing.

How Does Network Marketing Work?

You can start by signing up for a reputed and popular company. Once you enroll, you shall receive a
starter kit that comprises promotional materials and other goods that you would require as a beginner.

Initially, you will be guided by a mentor or sponsor who will introduce you to the industry and help you
learn the ropes. In their guidance, you will be learning about the products and the basic tips of selling
and learn more about their business plan. As a starter, you will be required to learn about the product
and the services of the company thoroughly. After all, you will be able to promote it only when you
know about it yourself really well.

You will be acquainted with the ways in which the industry functions, along with how the sales
processes take place.

Types of Network Marketing

Although there are three major categories of network marketing which we will learn about in this
section. The similarities between these categories lie in the way they rely upon individuals to conduct
business via personal networks. In the process, people conduct business by selling or recruiting others to
do so. Let's look at what these categories are:

Direct marketing
As part of this single-tier marketing system, individuals sign up for programs in order to sell products or
services. Participants in these programs do not need to recruit other distributors, and they only get paid
from direct sales.

A direct marketing campaign is the fastest way to generate sales. Encourage your friends and family to
buy the product you like. These types of network marketing are offered by companies such as Mary Kay
cosmetics and Pampered Chef kitchen supplies.

Affiliate marketing
The use of online affiliate marketing programs is a recent development in network marketing.
Webmasters and bloggers incorporate links to products into their sites. If a customer clicks on those
links and purchases a product, the website owner receives a commission or referral fee. Customers can
immediately buy products advertised on the site since it is a trusted source.

If you make money from these links, you can put a disclaimer at the end of your blog post to inform your
audience about it. Affiliate links should be disclosed in a transparent manner.

Both brands and individuals can take advantage of the thousands of affiliate programs available.
Research the most lucrative affiliate programs before joining one. An example of such a program is
Amazon's affiliate program.

Multilevel Marketing
Direct sales and a downline of distributors are two parts of multilevel marketing (MLM). While multilevel
marketing receives a lot of negative attention owing to its similarity with the pyramid schemes, we must
know that the two are different. But they differ in an important way. In contrast to pyramid schemes,
sponsored by fictitious progress and financial growth, MLM organizations offer legitimate products or
services to their distributors. You can be sure of receiving adequate training from your MLM mentors
which will help you create a solid foundation in the business. Furthermore, you are also bound to
receive many bonuses and rewards based on your performance.

Herbalife is one of the classic examples of MLM.

Questions to Ask Before Joining Network Marketing

If you are determined to start a network marketing business and after having shortlisted the brand you
want to work with, now is the time to ask certain questions that give you a better perspective. The
perspective is required here as it will help you know where you can expect to see yourself after some
time down the line.

What is the age of the company?

It will let you know how long has the company survived in the race and if there are new developments,
growth, or establishments through the years.

Are they offering a valuable product or service?

Does their product add value to your or people’s lives, in general? You will get to know if the products
are helpful and will be accepted by people.

Does the pay distribution seem unbiased and generous?

You should know if your efforts are being recognized and awarded correspondingly.

Does the company seem honest and ethical?

You must know if there are any loopholes in the business operations of the company or are there any
practices that do not seem ethical. There are various aspects that will tell you about the company ethics
such as their payment cycles, their market reputation, their behavior in general with their customer and
partners.

Is the company on track with good momentum and successful?

Analyze the company's performance since the time of its inception and assess the signs of growth and
success since that time. Has there been a rise in their output and revenue?

What kind of assistance and training does the company provide?

You must know that if and when you agree to go with the business, then how much support you shall
receive from them in terms of training. Considering you are new in the field, you may want to know if
they will be guiding you or you will be left to fend for yourself.

All these answers will make the path more comprehensible for you and will lead to better decision-
making.

Pros and Cons of Network Marketing

Before getting into network marketing, it is wise to know what kind of expectations you should set from
it. For this, you will have to weigh the process in a balancing machine of advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of Network Marketing

Let’s look at the brighter side first:

Flexibility

Well, there is no denying the fact that network marketing lets you be the boss of your job along with
letting you enjoy flexibility. You can choose the number of hours you work and chalk out the rest of your
personal schedule accordingly.

Enables sharing valued products

There are lotions and creams that have worked wonders for people’s skin, and such great products find
a huge space on social media platforms. The customers keep endorsing and vouching for the products
that have worked for them and thereby, increasing its sales. Such social media marketing becomes easy
when the people, themselves, love the products.

Facilitates more time at home

Network marketing allows you to work while you are at home, outside, anywhere. You can now enjoy
being at home and yet earn money. Almost everyone dreams of having a job that lets them enjoy some
time at home. In network marketing, you can have your cake and eat it, too!

Great prospects of leveraging income

Motivation coupled with the right set of mentors, you could be looking straight towards a successful and
enriching (like literally) experience at network marketing. There are opportunities for direct sales, great
commissions, bonuses, and rewards. With all this and more, leveraging your income can be smooth.

Easy to start

Network marketing is a low-investment and therefore, low-risk business. Anyone who is motivated to
earn can get into the field and start reaping its benefits.

Disadvantages of Network Marketing

Like any other process, pros will be accompanied by cons.

It can be time-consuming

Networking is a time-consuming process. You must go out, connect with people, explain to them the
usefulness of the products. If at all, the prospect is convinced, you crack the deal; else, you continue
with the very first step which is to connect again.

Does not translate into success for everyone

People with different ideologies tend to behave differently in the same situations. Therefore, the
outcomes for each of them will also be different. Similarly, in network marketing, some people quickly
get a grip of the process and are quick to climb the ladder of success. On the other hand, there are some
who struggle to find a strong base and are not able to experience the same success as their other
counterparts.

Requires face-to-face interaction

Not all businesses are online. Some of them require you to work in person with people. Not everyone
will find it easy to communicate and have a direct interaction. Think about the introverts! The newly
inducted individuals or the trainees are not going to have it any easier, either.
Rejection can be demotivating

Network marketing demands a lot of perseverance and patience. There could be times when there
hasn’t been a single deal for months at stretch. This could really turn down the high spirits of the ones
who set out enthusiastically. One needs to have the composure to cope up with such times.

Lack of good mentors

Mentorship plays a pivotal role in network marketing, as the mentors are the ones who will be the
torchbearers of your success. It would not be wrong to state that your degree of success is directly
proportional to the expertise of your mentor. If you haven’t been trained well enough, chances are, that
despite a good caliber you may not witness the momentum you deserve.

One should be wary of scams

Like so many other businesses, network marketing is not left untouched by scams and scammers. Some
genuine companies may require you to sign up with a one-time amount which in many cases, isn’t too
heavy on the pockets. Moreover, the MLM companies also offer some goody bags and learning material
in return.

However, there are some notorious people who would ask you for a sign-up amount and would never
come back. Therefore, it is recommended you ask those 6 questions before enrolling with a network
marketing company.

How to Master Network Marketing?
Now, it is now to time to get into action. Your journey through this business need not be complicated.
Follow these steps to learn the art of marketing:

Take it seriously
At the start of your business, you will have to treat it as a business and not as a mere hobby or a pass
time. The right mindset is the key to starting on a great note. Begin to take those initial baby steps; start
reading about the latest trends, spend time networking, try to strategize your next move. Also, start
applying what you have grasped so far. Application is what brings your ideas to fruition.

Educate Yourself
You have to make sure the products you are selling are ones you are passionate about before you get
into network marketing. Make connections with brands who share your interests, and do your
homework, such as researching the compensation schemes of companies.

Utilizing social media

Using social Media can be magical when you know how to connect the dots on it. These tools offer you
opportunities like no other element, for marketing and presenting your products. From finding new
team members and recruits, to placing advertisements and endorsements, social media gives you a lot
of conveniences to build your dream business. If you invest in paid advertising and actively engage your
audience, you will deliver value. Select one or two social media platforms to begin with and then go on
mastering each one on the way. Marketers have never had it easier than today, in the digital marketing
age.

Seek out a mentor

Choosing someone with experience and continued growth is ideal. As a newbie, you'll have to figure out
a lot of things. Fortunately, expert mentors have experience getting things done. They can help you skip
unnecessary tasks and do what you should be doing. If you are looking to accomplish to expedite the
process, invest in a mentor.

Be growth-oriented
Mindset is important, but being growth-oriented is even more important. No matter how slim the
chances are, you need to stay optimistic. Keep pushing until you reach the point you desire. Believing in
yourself and not giving up is essential.

Maintain Discipline and Consistency

Success is difficult for those who are unable to maintain discipline and consistency. When you are
learning so much, you need to apply the knowledge diligently. Without these factors, you will lack clarity
and the tasks will seem uphill. To avoid this, ensure that you have an effective process in place which
you follow meticulously.

Friends aren't business prospects

While your friends and family have your back all the time, it does not mean you view them as your
customers all the time. Do not force or pressurize them to buy your products. You can explain to them
the benefits of using it, but the final decision to buy or not remains with them.

Be prepared to sponsor
You should make sure you do not invite too many people when you begin to offer your mentorship. You
need to have a keen eye for recognizing the ones who exhibit good prospects and understanding of the
products. You must be ready to offer support, mentor, and help them grow.

10 Steps for Starting an MLM Company

Posted on August 18, 2020
Home » Blog » 10 Steps for Starting an MLM Company
Most people start businesses to share a solution with others – and make money! But it’s not enough to
have a product or solution you believe in. Entrepreneurs succeed when they do their homework and
build their business around a model that lines up with their overall growth goals, customer targets, and
product offering.

For many, a multi-level marketing (MLM) model offers a viable path to market. MLMs appeal as a way to
get your products in front of customers more quickly and with less overhead compared to a traditional
retail model. By relying on direct selling to consumers, MLMs grow through expanding networks of
independent distributors. Plus, a dedicated entrepreneur, equipped with the right technology and tools,
can build an MLM company without needing to hire a large team.

But, because the MLM sales model is so different, traditional startup blueprints don’t apply. To ensure
you’re considering the unique elements and nuances of direct selling, use this 10-step checklist to set up
your MLM company and put it on the path to success.

1. Pick your product.

Before you do anything else, spend time identifying, researching, and testing potential products and
services. The product you choose needs to appeal to buyers, but it also must be something that will
inspire distributors to advocate for and sell.

Look for products or services that are unique in the market or have distinct differentiators from similar
offerings. Test interest levels with formal focus groups or informal outreach among your target
customers as well as potential distributors. In addition to gauging their interest, ask about what they’re
willing to pay. Aim for products you can price with a 5X margin over your cost of goods. Achieving 5X or
higher margins ensure you’ll have enough to market the product and cover the payout for your MLM’s
compensation plan.

For MLMs, there’s also a compliance consideration. Ensuring your product or service has strong
customer demand helps to ensure that representatives will have sales success. This means your MLM
company will be primarily be generating profits from retail sales to consumers, not representative
recruitment.

2. Make a plan.
Putting together a written business plan is essential for your MLM company. Along with helping to
define your business goals, purpose, and vision, it will also serve as the roadmap for launching and
growing your business. And, if you will need outside funding, your plan will give banks or investors
information to help them assess the opportunity and forecast when they can expect a return on their
capital.

Don’t just check the box on this one. Dig in and crunch the numbers. Down the road, as you navigate
different challenges and opportunities, you’ll be glad you did.

Your MLM business plan should include:

Business objectives: It’s good to have challenging goals, but your business plan is where you want to get
realistic. Research your market to develop revenue, new customer, and sales targets for your initial
launch and first, second, and third years in business.
A market analysis: Define your market niche in terms of both size and opportunity. Then, create profiles
of your target customers as well as your key competitors. Analyze the data you compile to identify
where your products and services will fit and any potential barriers.
A profit and loss forecast: Based on your market research, financial goals, and product and operating
costs, project your anticipated revenues, profits, and loss for each of the first five years. Create a cash
flow analysis to show how money flows into and out of your business during a defined period of time.
Sales and marketing plans: Get specific about how you intend to put your products and services in front
of buyers. Based on your objectives and costs, determine how many distributors you need at different
points in time and what their sales targets will be. Then, map out your marketing strategy, including
promotion and website design, and the required budget.
3. Create your compensation plan.
Your company’s compensation plan will be the foundation of your direct selling business and its most
significant expense. A comp plan defines the terms and conditions for how representatives will earn
income, as commission on direct sales or as an override bonus earned on downline product sales.

Getting the balance right is critical. At full payout, you want your compensation plan to be reasonable,
attractive to distributors, and, most importantly, profitable. But, if you pay too much, you’ll be out of
business. If you pay too little, your sales force will leave. Working with a compensation plan expert who
can help you vet possible outcomes and remove surprises can save significant expense and stress down
the road. At ByDesign, we’ve worked with several outstanding compensation plan partners over the past
20 years. We would be happy to make the introductions to help you develop and evaluate the optimal
compensation plan for your business.

4. Secure funding.
You have options when it comes to funding your startup. The most common is debt financing, which
involves an interest-bearing loan from a bank, credit union, person, or specific retirement plan. Another
option, widely used by MLM companies, is equity financing. With equity financing, company owners sell
ownership in the company in exchange for cash. Equity financing can come from a range of sources,
such as family and friends, investors, or an initial public offering (IPO). A primary benefit of equity
financing is that there’s no obligation for repayment.

Over time, many MLMs use both debt and equity financing, depending on business needs, cash flow,
and expansion initiatives. The debt to equity ratio – total liabilities divided by shareholder equity – is a
key metric for assessing a company’s financial health because it provides an indicator of stability as well
as the ability to raise capital for growth.

5. Open a merchant account.

Now, you’re ready to begin setting up your MLM’s operations. The first step is opening a merchant
account, which is a type of bank account that enables your business to accept credit and debit cards in
person and online. It acts as a holding place between your customers’ bank accounts and your business
account as electronic payments are processed.

Here are a few things to consider before you apply for a merchant account:

Who will the signer on the account be? A merchant account functions like a short-term line of credit, so
it’s important the signer on the account has good personal credit.
Is your marketing website launched? By launching your website, you’ll be able to provide potential
processors with a full picture of your business and product offerings.
Is the setup fee refundable? Most processors charge an application fee. Some fees are non-refundable,
even if the account is declined. Always ask upfront.
Do you have enough lead-time? Expect the approval for a merchant account to be time-consuming due
to the unpredictable growth patterns, potential chargebacks, and legal liabilities associated with an
MLM business model. Payment processors classify MLMs as high-risk, so setting up your account may
take longer than you anticipate. Start early and allow enough time. That way, you won’t be forced to
delay your launch.
6. Choose your direct selling software.
MLM software will be the engine that helps run all facets of your business. It will bring your
compensation model to life and deliver the functionality that automates genealogy management,
commissions, API access, replicated websites, e-commerce, party plan solutions, promotions, live and
social selling, mobile apps, and tools for sales representatives.

No pressure! Choosing the right solution will be a critical factor in your success. You want software that
will support your initial needs as well as future needs as you scale and grow the business. There are a lot
of options – and tremendous differences between back-office software providers. Take the time to
research different solutions. Look for companies with published case studies and public reviews. Ask for
references, and call them to learn first-hand what a company’s client experience is like.

7. Retain an MLM attorney.

It’s a good idea to retain an experienced MLM attorney in the early stages of building your business.
Attorneys specializing in the MLM industry are highly skilled advisors who can provide guidance on
everything from product regulatory compliance and product labeling through compensation structure
and international expansion. And you’ll definitely want to work with an MLM attorney as you start to
build out your distributor network.

When selling products through distributors, your company will be responsible for the product and
earning claims representatives are making out in the market. The FTC monitors and regulates these
claims, and is on the lookout for false or misleading claims about income potential or the health benefits
of products. Retaining an MLM attorney gives you access to an expert resource who’s up to speed on
current case law that defines the regulations governing the direct selling industry.

The reality is that you will need an attorney at some point. Be proactive and build an attorney-client
relationship before you need one.

8. Document, document, document.

This one may not be your favorite step, but business documentation – including policies and procedures,
shipping policies, return policies, privacy policies, and sales material – has to be done. These are the
things that establish the business rules and operating procedures for your field representatives to
follow.

For an MLM company, the policy and procedure manual is a cornerstone document. It should cover a
comprehensive range of topics – typically 50 or more – depending on your business model, products,
principles, and ethics. If getting started feels daunting, consult your MLM attorney (see step 7!). He or
she can provide valuable guidance or a template. Whatever you do, don’t take another company’s
documents, and adopt them as your own. While they can be helpful resources, your documentation
should be specific for your business.

Here are a few key points to keep in mind as you create documentation:

Sales and marketing materials – whether physical or digital – are considered an extension of product
packaging. That means product regulations apply.
Protecting customer data is vital for MLM companies. Federal law requires you to disclose how you
collect, share, and protect personal information captured in the course of doing business.
How you use customer data is also regulated and limited by federal law. Make sure your documentation
and practices are aligned and that your information technology is set up to provide appropriate levels of
protection.
9. Ready? Set? Pre-launch.
You’re almost there, but there’s still more to learn about your market, customers, and products. It’s
time to conduct a pre-launch, also known as a soft launch. Essentially, a pre-launch is a limited release of
your product or service to a small audience. It can be a vital step to success for MLM businesses because
it provides an opportunity to gain insights and make adjustments before launching to the general public.

Your pre-launch period should ideally be at least 90 days ahead of your overall launch. To make it
worthwhile, you’ll want to create opportunities for your target audience to interact with your products,
and start to build awareness, interest, and even pre-orders. The goal of a pre-launch period is to validate
your product and positioning while also creating a buzz through sneak previews, promotions, and
limited availability. Creating a pre-launch video is an effective way to get the word out and connect with
potential customers. Here’s a pro tip: Base your video’s length on your product’s price point. For higher-
priced products, aim for 5 to 15 minutes. For lower-priced offerings, keep videos to around one minute
or less.

10. Launch!
There’s one thing left to do before you launch. Measure your success! Revisit the launch goals you set
out in your business plan. These goals will become the KPIs – Key Performance Indicators – to gauge the
success of your launch. You’ll want each KPI to be measurable. For example, if one of your launch goals
is to sign up five leaders with large, existing downlines, break the goal into quantifiable elements. What
defines a leader? How many people need to be in a downline for you to consider it “large”? What’s the
desired timeframe for accomplishing the goal?

Stay on top of your KPIs as you execute your launch. Use the data points as a tool, but supplement them
with insights gleaned from checking in with your representatives and talking to customers. This will help
you validate your assumptions and adjust quickly when needed.

And don’t forget to spend some time anticipating what could go right! What if your product is the next
big thing? Could you – and your supply chain – ramp-up to handle accelerated growth? After all, with
the solid prep work you’ve done, you’re well on your way to building a successful MLM company.

If you look at the statistics, the network marketing business has grown over time. When it first started in
1990, there were 25% of the Direct Selling Association (DSA) members using the network marketing
business model. By 2009, it grew to 94.2% of DSA members using network marketing.

Looking for Multi-Level Marketing Software? Check out SoftwareSuggest’s list of the best MLM software
solutions.
Currently, the network marketing industry is valued at around 167 billion USD, which is estimated to
reach around INR 645 billion by 2025.

The network marketing business model is operating in more than 1000+ and is considered one of the
best industries to gain profit. We understand that there have been myths about how the networking
marketing business doesn’t work. However, we like to disagree here.

In 2018, the direct sales industry, of which network marketing is a part of, earned $35.4 billion in sales.

6.2 million people in the U.S. are involved in direct sales. (Source)

Clearly, the success of networking business has nothing to with the network marketing model itself but,
instead, determined by how effectively you market your products or services.

Now that we have broken the myth for you, let’s get started with the network marketing business.

Understanding Networking Marketing Business

Network marketing business is also referred to as referral marketing or multi-level marketing business. It
implies a model where a distributed network is created to build the business while offering a lot of
flexibility as well.

These top companies, such as Avon, Amway, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Tupperware, and more, have a robust
network marketing model.

If you don’t want to face stiff competition, work on network marketing business ideas that are easily
sellable. Of course, you will also need to have a sound reward system in place for all your network
marketers under your scheme.

Most often, entrepreneurs are encouraged to start their own network marketing business because it is
quite easy to set up. And if you are planning to sell the product or services of an existing company, then
the start-up capital becomes more affordable.

But how does it work exactly?

Let’s understand its pyramid structure to get a clear picture of the multi-level marketing business.

Structure of Network Marketing Business

Companies that are into multi-level marketing business creates tiers of salespeople, whereby these
salespeople recruit their own networks of sellers.

There are three different tiers to the network marketing business model — single-tier, two-tier, and
multi-level.
In a single-tier model, you do not have to recruit other distributors. All your pay comes from making
direct sales. Avon is an example of a single-tier network business model.

The two-tier model involves hiring salespeople. You get paid for your direct sales as well as for
transactions made by affiliates or distributors you recruit under you.

Multi-level tier contains two or more tiers that allow you to make money five or more levels deep.
Amway is a good example here.

One important tip is that you need to have a reliable marketing team at the core of your company. The
stronger you have a base of marketers, the better is your chance of getting success.

5 Factors to Know When Starting Your Own Network Marketing Business

Every business ideas need a concrete plan to successfully launch it. Before starting a business, one has
to carry out a tremendous amount of market research on different factors.

This section will throw light on market research and feasibility studies that you need to carry out if you
are considering a multi-level marketing business.

1. Unique Business Name Ideas

First things first, you need to be very creative while choosing a name for your network marketing
business company.

The name should resonate with your company’s mission and visions. Most importantly, it should be
unique and attractive enough that immediately grabs your audience’s attention.

However, you need to take a step further after you pick your business name; check if it’s available as a
domain name.

You want to visit a domain registration site and see if your ideal business name is available. If it isn’t, use
a business name generator to help you develop an appealing (and available) business and domain name.

The business name goes a long way in creating a perception about one’s product/service/business in
their customer’s mind.

2. Demographics
One of the most significant factors to consider while defining the demographics for your network
marketing company is that you should include everybody with or without purchasing power within your
target area.

The demographic composition should have both the freelance marketer and those who need the
services or products of a network marketing company.
3. Competition Level
Another significant thing to consider in networking marketing business plans is the level of competition.

To survive in the business world, networking with key people is very important. You need to have
contacts that can influence and also help recruit the right marketers’ team that can create an impact.

The level of competition mainly depends on two things — your place of business and the types of
products or services you are going to sell.

If you can create and sell unique products or services, you are less likely to face any competition. But,
dealing with products that already have an established company will require a hell lot of effort and
strategies.

Besides, one advantage of networking business is that you can have your company established in India
and still have some of the largest networks of marketers in China.

Some of the challenges that you might face:

Presence of well-established marketing companies

Presence of retailers or businesses who are dealing with the same products or services
The arrival of a new network marketing company who is going to sell the same products as yours and in
the same location
Unfavorable government policies and economic downfall that will affect the purchasing power of the
consumer
Tip: Try to create your own market and target a location that is easy to penetrate

4. Economic Element
As a matter of fact, the cost of running a network marketing company is relatively low. It requires less
stress and minimal capital to start up, especially if you are working as a freelance network marketer.

As a freelance network marketer, you can start a business from home and can still climb up your
ladders.

The cost of working is generally restricted to the cost of internet subscriptions, phone bills,
transportation, and some marketing collateral copies.

That’s why you will find many stay-at-home moms actively involved in networking marketing business.

If you can build a robust network of results-oriented marketers or referrers, you can earn good profits.
Besides, it becomes easier to calculate the profit you are likely to make if you successfully sell your
products.

5. Legal Entity
When you decide to form a network marketing company, you need to choose the legal entity. This may
not seem important in the beginning, but it helps determine how far your business will expand.

Fortunately, many experienced attorney websites can help you get legal advice at reasonable prices.
These attorneys are great as they have many years of experience and are ready to provide you with an
individual consultation. Individual consultation is essential for legal advice. Also, you can send copies of
all the necessary documents. In this way, you will have a more flexible and pleasurable experience.

Generally, there are two options to choose from — a general partnership or limited liability company,
also known as an LLC. You need to first identify your target audience and location.

Some multi-level companies design products for local/regional markets, whereas some targets the
national or international markets.

To give you a clear-cut answer, a general partnership is best suited for a small scale network marketing
company.

But if you have the intention to grow your business down the line and expand your market, then the
preferred choice should be a limited liability company.

LLC protects you from personal liability. Plus, it gives you more flexibility to operate compared to a
general partnership. And the best thing is that you don’t need to have shareholders meeting, a board of
directors, and other formalities.

Other factors to consider before you choose a legal entity for your company — tax, investors’
expectation, ease of transferability, and more.

Final Thoughts
Since you are thinking of starting a network marketing business, it’s essential to know what the future
holds for the multi-level marketing industry.

Should you really consider investing in a network marketing business?

Despite all the myths surrounding the network marketing business, the industry is on the rise. There are
many reasons why networking marketing is considered the best marketing model.

First of all, it permits people to experience big earnings by experiencing low risks. Next is the time
flexibility.

In every network marketing company, you get to be your own boss, and you can decide on your own
how much time you want to invest in the business. Other than that, it is a great opportunity to earn
some passive income.
To conclude, it is the perfect time to invest in a network marketing business plan. The growth potential
is vast. If trodden carefully with a full-fledged plan, you can take your business to great heights.

Remember, network marketing is all about the connections you make.

STARTING AND RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL MLM COMPANY TIPS
Starting a Network Marketing Company?

© Jeff Babener, Babener & Associates/MLMLegal.com

Begin at the Beginning

Any professional who has been involved in the creation of billion dollar Network Marketing Companies
will advise that no company starts as a billion dollar MLM or Direct Selling Company. Everyone starts at
ground zero.

The famous hotel magnate, Conrad Hilton, was once asked the secret to his success. His response, “I
only know one thing; the shower curtain goes inside the bathtub.” What Hilton was really saying was
that mastering even the smallest fundamental building blocks and understanding even the smallest
components of a business are essential to the creation of a major enterprise. And the same is true for
those that wish to start and build the successful Network Marketing Company.

Start with a Dream

Although it starts as a dream for many, history validates that the building of a successful direct selling,
network marketing, mlm or party plan company can become a reality. Witness: Avon that started from a
door to door bible sales business to Primerica, which evolved from the dreams of a football coach to
applying direct selling principles to insurance sales, to Amway that started with two entrepreneurs
mixing biodegradable soap in a bathtub to create a global giant.

Ten Rules to Keep in a Very Safe Place

The umbrella term for the business is "direct selling." Whether it is the variety practiced by Tupperware
or Amway or Nikken or The Pampered Chef, it still is in the business "species" known as direct selling.
Under that umbrella is found party plans, MLM or multilevel marketing, network marketing and direct
sales. The objective is always the same, however...build a consumer products and/or services marketing
company that distributes through a vast network of salespersons who sell both consumer products and
services, as well as recruit and develop an even larger network of salespersons to sell, and for which
remuneration is paid on the sales volume of those "downline" recruited networks.

Although a significant force with upwards of $30 billion in U.S. sales and $100 billion plus in worldwide
sales, it is nevertheless an ultra niche industry with its own culture and formatting. Those who
understand this focused culture and business model can prosper, and others will be "strangers in a
strange land."

Although it may look straightforward, starting the successful MLM business is no simple matter. A
methodology course could fill a library. A practical advice primer could fill books. The following is an
essentials sampler from an industry tour guide, a professional MLM Consultant and MLM Law
Professional who has spent two decades as a "consigliore" or trusted business and legal advisor to
legions of leading direct selling companies. Those companies have started in back bedrooms and garages
and have grown and ranged in size from mom and pop boutique businesses to multi-national, multi-
billion dollar conglomerates.

If you are looking for detailed insight from this author, attend a conference sponsored by
www.mlmlegal.com, Starting and Running the Successful MLM Company Conference, or read one of two
books by the author, Starting and Running the Successful MLM Company or Network Marketing: What
You Should Know. (Legaline Publications, 1-800-231-2162 or visit www.mlmlegal.com) However, for
purposes of a "to do" list, consider the following very brief but very practical tips on starting the
successful MLM company. Each of these factors is so critical that each one might be placed on the
"make it or break it" list. These ten tips are obviously not good enough to warrant being etched on
tablets on top of a mountain in the Sinai desert, but they are worthy of being tucked into your MLM
"bible" somewhere between "Solicitations" and "Celebrations."

1.Capitalization-Can you Recruit?

Do you have a great recruitment background, the ability to recruit, or a lineup of strong distributors? If
so, your need for capital will be substantially diminished. In the end, your ability to recruit a talented
and motivated sales network will be the number one key to your success. In fact, your need for capital is
in direct inverse proportion to your ability to recruit. If you can recruit, you may have a cash cow on your
hands. If recruitment will go slow, your business plan needs to allow for buffer capital to hold you
through one, two or three years of break even or loss scenarios. That capital should be lined up ahead of
time, either through personal and close relationship resources or through angel investors. The likelihood
of public financing for the new MLM is very remote. Time after time, the best source of capital is literally
"closest" to home. Your ability to manage expenses will be very determinative of your need for buffer
capital and you will find that payroll infrastructure will "eat up" capital faster than anything else. Can
you make it in this business by starting in a back room or garage? Absolutely! The fact is that most of
today’s giants started precisely this way…with little capital, but much passion.

2.Recruitment Capability

You need to be honest with yourself. Do you or those who are key owners in the business have MLM
recruitment background? Without this talent, the best products will continue to languish on the shelf.
Companies like Amway, Tupperware, Mary Kay and Home Interiors were not only founded on a very
limited budget, but by individuals with strong backgrounds in direct selling. Develop a recruitment
strategy for initial key leaders. It may seem odd, but your top distributors may not come to you for
years. To those would-be leaders who come to you seeking special benefits or corporate positions,
design remuneration that is "results oriented." Do not pay high salaries to individuals who claim to be
able to recruit, but cannot demonstrate a strong track record of success. As a general matter, if
individuals are strong recruiters, they would be distributors because the remuneration is much higher.
Obviously, track your warmest market, then move on to lead generation systems and advertising. You
shouldn’t expect initial advertising to bring you distributors, but consider it instead a foundational
industry announcement that you have arrived on the scene. For instance, the best place to create the
institutional announcement of your existence is the industry’s leading trade publication, Money Maker’s
Monthly. Notwithstanding all of the hype, however, about internet, direct mail or mechanized recruiting
campaigns, history demonstrates that this will always be a person- to-person relationship business and
that there is no substitute for "pressing the flesh."

3.MLM Legal—Don’t Leave Home Without It!

At first blush, one might question the role of the MLM Law expert in a marketing driven business.
However, your MLM Lawyer may well be the single most valuable resource that you ever utilize. This
individual, and there are very few in this gene pool, has intimate practical knowledge as well as legal
knowledge of the business, often understanding the business better than most of his/her clients. It is a
unique melding of marketing practical knowledge and experience together with practical legal
experience that may cause this individual to answer questions off the top of his or her head in five
minutes that would take typical business lawyers five years to research…and, in which case, they would
still probably not understand the "issues," let alone the solutions.

For better or worse, the practices of the MLM industry have induced scores of pieces of legislation and
regulatory control, such as pyramid statutes, MLM statutes, business opportunity, securities, FTC and
postal regulation. Notwithstanding the success of the industry, there is always tension between the
regulatory community and the MLM industry. Overzealous regulators and rogue operators guarantee
that this state of affairs will always exist. Layer these issues with distributor relations and discipline, FDA,
trademark, tax and international issues, and it is easy to see why this individual is probably the first
person with whom you should establish a relationship and with whom you should grow, with that
person as a trusted business advisor and member of your business team.

At a minimum, you would be totally premature to jump into the marketplace without a legal review by
MLM legal counsel of the most basic of sales kit contents, whether they be in hard copy, CD-ROM or on
the internet. Those basics include: representative agreement; policies and procedures; product
brochures; marketing plan presentation; and various forms ranging from retail receipts to autoship to
multiple owner applications, etc. Responding after the fact to regulatory agencies over deficient
materials or answering distributor complaints for slipshod documentation is too little, too late…and too
bad for the startup MLM business.

4.Your Trademark-Your Life!

Picture living your life without a name. To some extent, you define yourself and your existence by your
name. Obviously, you had no choice in choosing your name, but nevertheless, in the trademark sense, it
is your branding for life. When others think of you, they think of your name, and vice-versa. Your choice
of name for your MLM is equally important. Not only will you brand your business and product forever,
but what may be worthless today will be your most valuable asset in years to come. Just ask Coca-Cola,
Marlboro, Microsoft, Avon or Mary Kay. And so, this choice deserves special emphasis in the beginning.
A trademark search by your MLM Lawyer is a must. To be told three years down the way that you must
give up your name because you did not bother to conduct a trademark search would be a devastating
blow to your business. Also, it is essential that the name that you choose will suit the expanding product
or service offerings that will be coming down the pike. So, what’s in a name?... everything!

5.MLM Business Experience

Possess it or Buy it!

As mentioned, MLM is not just any business. It is not retailing, franchising, e-commerce internet or dot
com selling, telemarketing, catalog, direct marketing or infomercial. MLM, under all its names, Direct
Selling, Network Marketing, Direct Sales, Party Plan and Multilevel Marketing, is a unique beast. To
launch this business, you must have a substantial background and be well grounded in its written and
unwritten principles. If you know your product and you have a passion to bring it to the public, but you
lack industry experience, then you must buy that experience. You may hire key employees in such
positions as CEO, COO, Sales and Marketing, Customer Service and Distributor Relations, Information
Technologies, etc. The payroll will add up fast, and unless your capitalization can sustain this ongoing
cost, you should seriously consider outsourcing the solutions for these types of expertise. A first
suggestion is to consult with your MLM Attorney, who is likely familiar with the best resources in the
business. Although limited, your search will disclose extraordinary resources in the area of MLM
Management Consulting. Such industry established experts in areas of MLM startup implementation,
compensation plan design and software selection are often tremendous team players and invaluable
assets to your team. Above all, don’t launch without in-house or outsourced MLM business experience.

6.MLM Technology and Software

The Engine of the Machine!

"Having" great software won’t recruit one single distributor for you. Having said that, lousy software and
inferior support will no doubt ruin what might have been a tremendous business opportunity. This
business is a numbers business. It is built on recruiting, payouts on thousands of generations, genealogy
reports to thousands of distributors, timely calculation and payout of commission checks to vast
networks of sales people. The moment you fail in the technology area, you will lose confidence amongst
your distributors. Prepare to watch sales, recruitment, retention and momentum plunge to ocean
depths. Recovery may never occur.

And so, remember cheap is not good in the technology business. Good value is good, but not cheap.
"You get what you pay for" is true in this acquisition. The fact is that cheap software usually means
"cheap software" that is flawed and for which there is no backend support service of worth. Your
software must work, it must be scalable such that your data tracking solutions, your web and e-
commerce solutions and your reporting and communications solutions can grow with your business.
These are important questions for those bidding for your software. Statements like "up and running in
24 hours for $100" are as invalid as "join our MLM and earn $10,000 in your first week." Of course,
expensive does not necessarily mean good either. At least one software firm became infamous in the
industry for promoting seminars that were little more than high pressure sales presentations in which
unwary MLM startups were induced into astronomical priced offerings. Beware the high pressure sales
tactic that does not afford you the opportunity to compare in the marketplace and check references and
opinions. Your best sounding board is your MLM Business Consultant or MLM Lawyer.
Look for established providers with track records with established companies, but that is not to say that
you should not "hold" their feet to the competitive fire. Established MLM software companies all bring
different but important strengths to the table. Most major providers also offer design solutions for the
MLM startup that involves web-based software support that can grow to licensed onsite technology as
the company grows.

7.Get the Product Right the First Time!

If your software runs the "machine," and the business is the "machine," then your product or service is,
as the French would say, your "raison d’être," your reason for existence. In looking back on history of
the direct selling industry, a chicken and egg analysis makes it difficult to determine whether the
business opportunity or product was the essential reason for commencement of the business. There are
instances of both. The founders of Avon, Mary Kay, and Home Interiors came from successful
experiences in marketing other products. They found a product suitable for their marketing talents. On
the other hand, the founders of Nikken, Amazon Herbs and Shaklee had a passion for bringing uniquely
new products to the world and direct selling became the best vehicle. You will fit in one of these two
categories. Whether it is one or the other, however, choose a product or service for which you can
promote with passion. Be sure that the product is unique or that its formulation is unique to your
company. If it is a commodity or generic product such as telephone service, then you will need to create
another unique marketing edge, such as great service and value, to market the product. The better of
the MLM products are those with high margins resulting from the "perception" of uniqueness in the
marketplace. In the end, a company will only succeed when selling a product of high quality at a
reasonable price to a market that purchases the product on its own merits. Overpriced products of
dubious worth have no real long-term future. The death knell occurs when distributors are caught
informing business opportunity meetings that the product is really irrelevant and is merely an excuse for
the marketing plan. Another vocabulary term for this phenomenon is "pyramid."

Equally important to choosing the right product is the assurance that your marketing will not be
impaired by poor planning. Your initial vendor agreements should be drafted or reviewed by MLM Legal
Counsel so that you do not find yourself stranded without product, or worse, find your manufacturer in
competition with you. Regulatory compliance is essential for such issues as FDA for labeling and claims,
consumer standards for water and air products or compliance with discount buying legislation. If you are
importing products, you should be assured in the beginning that your product will not be subject to
embargo or detention. And, obviously, you should be assured that your distributors and customers
would have an uninterrupted supply of product because you have established adequate capacity to
produce the product or service.
8.Compensation Plan

It Better Be Good!

Does a compensation plan make or break a startup MLM company? History suggests that a good one is
helpful and a must. Does it drive success? Probably not. Will a bad plan contribute to failure? Probably,
together with other unlucky breaks. As industry expert Michael Sheffield notes with respect to a "good"
compensation plan, "its absence will be noticed more than its presence."

Is there anything new under the sun as far as compensation plans? Probably not. Whether the plan is a
unilevel, breakaway, binary, party plan, Australian two up or utilizes enroller, infinity or coding bonuses,
the goal is the same….motivate varying behaviors of distributors ranging from direct sales to building
wide to building deep to supporting downline to maximizing sales volume production and retention. Of
key importance is that the plan is easy to explain to recruits and that it is perceived as fair and balanced.

Typical plans may pay out upwards of 30% to 50% of sales volume in commissions to distributors.
Various plans merely divide the pie differently. As long as the perception is that the plan is competitive
within the industry, it appears that other factors, including bonding with the product, management, field
leaders, company philosophy and corporate communication will be a more significant driving force for
recruits and distributors. In fact, companies whose pitch leads with the compensation plan are often
merely hiding the weaknesses of other key components such as quality of product or stability of
management. In designing plans, leading MLM management consultants serve a vital role in balancing
all of these factors.

There are obviously significant legal issues in evaluating and implementing the compensation plans.
Review and input by a competent MLM Lawyer is essential.

9.Clear Agreements Between Owners

It is one thing for an MLM business to fail because of regulatory challenges, legal challenges or even
financial challenges. Periodically, the industry is aghast when MLM companies fail as a result of disputes
among owners. Unfortunately, such events have occurred. The causes for such failure can be many.
Often, the failure occurs because the owners of the business did not, at the time of inception, take
sufficient care to outline their respective rights and responsibilities. It may be a legal matter, but then
again, it is often a case of differing expectations about the future of the business. These expectations
should be out in the open at the commencement of the business and mechanisms for dynamic change
should be anticipated, including exit strategies for owners. The worse case scenario, which has occurred,
is paralysis of the business while owners argue over management objectives. Obviously, this problem
cannot occur when there is one principal owner to the business. It tends not to occur when there are
two owners. Three owners tend to produce a revolving alliance of two against one. More than three
owners may well be a prescription for future disputes. In any event, managing expectations starts "at
home" and at the beginning of the business.

10.Attitude—The Three P’s:

Passion, Patience and Persistence

Success coaches and motivational speakers will often note: "If you think you can, you’re right! If you
think you can’t, you’re right!" This is not a mere placebo. There is something to such advice. Attitude
makes all the difference in survival and success of the startup MLM. Every successful MLM company was
driven by a leader who had passion for the product, the opportunity or both. The charisma of the leader
could not be shared successfully without passion. You must be in a sense what the philosopher Eric
Hoffer referred to as a "true believer." A "true believer" is a founder of cultural, religious or business
movement….and that’s who you must be. There is little room for the skeptic or cynic. As Eminen would
say, you can’t just sing the song, to succeed, you must "lose yourself in the music."

Only with passion will persistence and patience occur. And, only with those two additional attributes will
an individual be successful in the start of an MLM company. It is a rare day that an MLM company is an
overnight success. Some companies become overnight success stories because of the migration of
thousands of seasoned distributors as the result of the collapse or implosion of other large MLM
networks or companies. This occurrence is the exception to the rule. In the end, it is often the case that
a company will not experience its more rapid trajectory until it has been in existence for two or three
years. It is usually at that point in time that the combination of its stability, and some other fortuitous
event in the marketplace, causes its discovery by legions of potential distributors and customers. So, in
the end, attitude, the culmination of passion, patience and persistence, is a defining factor in the success
of the startup MLM company.

This Advice from Experience

You won’t find these ten rules in a textbook. You will not find them in a college course. You will not find
them at Staples or Office Depot. You most definitely will not find them by consulting with corporate
business lawyers or general business advisors. These very important factors are forged in the furnace of
experience. These are practical rules that arise from two decades of practical hands on involvement.
These rules come from the school of "been there, done that." If you pay attention, is success
guaranteed? Well, go to rule eleven, which is "success is never a sure thing, but opportunity is always
guaranteed."

Best Age To Start Start A Network Marketing Business
Leave a Comment / Network Marketing Training / By Dereco Cherry
Best age to start a network marketing business

Are you wondering what would be the best age to start a network marketing business?

In this post, I’m going to share in my opinion the best age to get started.

Building a network marketing business will require you to sign a contract to become a distributor for
whatever company you decide to join but the best age to start a network marketing business is your age
at this very moment. I also did a bit of research and what I found is that usually, you must be at least 18
years of age to join an MLM business. It can vary depending on what country and state you leave in. So
make sure you check your local laws just to be sure.

Your Age Doesn’t Matter

Your age does not mean a thing when it comes to building a business. Your never too old to build up
some passive income for yourself or your family. It’s all about your work ethic and mindset.
I’ve seen young and older people get involved in this profession.

So if you think you’re too young or old to get started, get that nonsense out of your head right now.

Here is a list of people you might recognize who got started a little later in life:

Martha Stewart – Was almost fifty years old before you got her magazine deal.
Ray Kroc (McDonald’s”) – Was 52 when ran into the MacDonalds brothers eventually buying them out
and starting McDonald’s.
Colonel Sanders (KFC) – Was 62 years old before he hit success.
This is just a short list of examples. There are people everyday from all ages having success in business.
Don’t ever let your age hold you back from getting started.

Does Your Background Matter?

Nope, you can get started with network marketing if you’ve been fired from a job, have bad credit, or if
you’ve never had a job at all.

Network marketing does not care about your race, religion, or sex. You don’t need any type of degree or
schooling either.

Everyone starts off on the same playing field, with access to the same tools and information.

Really all you need is your vision, a few bucks, and a hell of a work ethic.

Oh, you thought it was going to be easy?

While the business model of network marketing is simple it is going to take a lot of consent work to
build a business.

If someone tries to tell you differently I personally would suggest you find yourself a new sponsor or
another company to join all together.

How Much Does It Cost To Get Started

Network marketing is the perfect business model with its low cost and low risk you really can’t find a
better business to start.

The cost to get started is different for each company. It can range anywhere from a couple of hundred
bucks into the thousands depending on your start-up package.

When I joined my first company I think I paid $299 to get started. Then I had to get my products on auto-
ship to stay qualified to earn money.
I’ve seen some people get hung up on their auto-ship. Which to me is insane. Think of your auto-ship as
an expense to run your business.

If you ran a Subway you would have to pay building rent, employees, insurance, and a few other things.

And as you can imagine that won’t be cheap.

So what your auto-ship is a couple of bucks per month. Where else can you go and have operating
expenses that low?

So just for a few bucks you can be a business owner and depending on how hard you work you can make
your money back pretty fast.

Now let’s say you want to start a franchise such as a Subway or some type of national chain restaurant.
You’ll have to come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars and at least 10 years is when you can
expect to make your money back.

So let’s compare, a few hundred bucks and you can make your money back the same day or week with
unlimited income potential vs a traditional franchise that’ll cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars
upfront and at least 10 years before you’ll see any of your money back.

Low Cost Sometimes Hurts This Profession

Like I just mentioned it only cost a few hundred dollars to get started on a network marketing business.
So sometimes people don’t take their business as serious because they only paid a few hundred dollars
vs spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a traditional brick and mortar business.

Put the time into your business and treat it like a real business and it will pay you like a real business.

Half ass with it, and it will pay you like a hobby which last time I checked, hobbies usually cost you
money.

What If You Are A Student?

Students usually fall within the ages of 18-25. These are young people with goals and dreams. Network
marketing is the perfect business to help them achieve those dreams.

Let me be upfront here, I’m not any type of expert of recruiting college students so I had to dig around
and here are some of the best tips that I’ve found to recruit students into your business.

Prospecting students is no different than prospecting anyone else. In fact, what I’ve heard a lot of
people say is college kids are more open to at least hearing about an opportunity that could change
their lives.

Most people want the freedom and lifestyle building a successful network marketing business offers.
College students do too!
If you’re thinking like me, you’re probably saying, wouldn’t a college kid be broke or on a very limited
budget?

Well if someone was serious about joining your business they would find a way to come up with the
money. College students will too IF they are serious about doing the business. If not they’ll just make
excuses like any other person.

Network Marketing Tips For Beginners

Here are some guidelines to help you if you do decide network marketing is right for you.

Say less to more people. Don’t give out too much information when you’re prospecting. You should
collect their information and follow up with them at a later date. Your main goal with prospecting is just
finding out who is open, that’s it.

Always maintain your posture. You’re going to have people question you about what you’re doing. It
even might be someone in your family or one of your closest friends. Posture is simply you having the
belief in something without requiring someone eles’ approval. You

Operate your business like you’re already making a million dollars. Don’t chase, beg or try to convince
ANYONE to buy from you or join you. When you’re prospecting think of it as you are interviewing them.
You want to make sure their dreams qualify for your time.

Get good at asking questions. If a person tells you they are open to take a look at your business, ask
them why. Find out why they are looking to make some extra money. If someone tells you they just
want to make more money, dig deeper becaue just wanting more money is not a strong reason.

If you use these tips your MLM success rate can’t go anywhere but up!

[Video] Best Age To Start Your MLM Business

Conclusion
The legal age in most places is 18 years of age. But like I mentioned in the beginning make sure you
check with your local laws in your state just to be on the safe side.

Outside of that network marketing provides a great opportunity for someone to achieve time freedom
and financial independence. If you are willing to put in the work.

Network marketing does NOT care about your background, how many jobs you’ve been fired form, your
credit history, color, religion or sex. All that’s required is patience, a coachable attitude, and a good work
ethic.

If you have all of these then I highly suggest you get started with your own network marketing business.

What is Network Marketing

The quintessential focus of every business on its customers has never been as emphasised as it is in the
digital era. With the presence of social media, a wider scope of feedback and better relationship with
buyers and sellers has become quite apparent. Amongst different branches of marketing in the digital
world, a new concept of network marketing has significantly emerged.

Network marketing refers to a business model that involves a person-to-person model of sales which is
created by developing a network of independent representatives. If you are a business major, network
marketing is an essential topic that will be encompassed in the degree and make you privy to its features
and applications. This blog seeks to answer the question of what is network marketing and understand
all its features and applications along with the major courses and universities you can consider in this
field.

What is Network Marketing and How does it work?
Network marketing is a medium of marketing that is used by producers and sellers to accelerate their
sales rates. In network marketing, manufacturers deal with a large number of distributors who develop
‘networks’ to operate at various levels and thereby encompass a larger section of society. They often act
as independent representatives of the company and result in curtailing the large costs involved in
traditional marketing.

These distributors earn profit at their levels and also expand the earnings of the conglomerate per unit
sold. Its uses are multifarious and wide-ranging and its intricate process is carried out by big
corporations creating tiers of salespersons who using their independent networking and circle try to
promote the product. Popularly known as multilevel marketing is trending globally. Companies that
encourage network marketing often create tiers that have the authority to hire sub-tiers under them.
This works on a commission-based system.

Types of Network Marketing

Now that you are aware of what is network marketing and how it works, let’s explore the types of
network marketing. There are three types of network marketing.

Single-Tier
You join an affiliate programme to sell a company’s products or services via single-tier network
marketing. You are not required to recruit additional distributors, and direct sales are your sole source
of income. Avon, a well-known cosmetics company, uses one-tier networking marketing.

Some internet affiliate schemes compensate you for directing visitors to the affiliate’s website. Pay-per-
click (PPC) and pay-per-lead (PPL) affiliate schemes are also examples of single-tier networking.

Two Tier
Unlike single-tier network marketing, two-tier network marketing requires some recruiting, but your
compensation is not entirely dependent on it. You are paid for direct sales (or traffic driven to a website)
as well as direct sales or recommended traffic generated by affiliates or distributors you hire.

Multi-Level
Multi-level marketing (MLM) is used by some direct sales organisations to encourage existing
distributors to recruit new distributors in exchange for a percentage of their recruits’ sales. The
distributor’s “downline” is made up of recruits. Distributors benefit from direct product sales to
customers as well.

A well-known direct sales organisation is Amway, a well-known multilevel marketing organisation that
sells health, beauty, and home care products.

A career in eCommerce Marketing

Advantages of Network Marketing
The major advantages of Network Marketing are as follows:

The size of a network marketing organisation is unrestricted. This occurs because businesses may form
distribution partnerships with a large number of people. Distributors can also collaborate with other
sub-distributors to boost company sales.
Companies do not need to rely on advertising to promote their products because they have a strong
distribution network that directly engages customers.
Firms consider retailer profit margins to be an expenditure, which is influenced by distributor structure.
These profit margins are passed on to distributors, relieving corporations of their financial burden.
Another advantage is that businesses do not have to spend as much money on storage and delivery as
they used to. This is because distributors are responsible for these costs.
Because of this framework, distributors can make an infinite amount of money from their business
transactions with the organisation. They can profit from their own earnings as well as commissions.
Applications
Simply understanding what is network marketing isn’t enough. The actual understanding comes from
being aware of its applications in a practical world in a lucrative sense that expand the growth of a
business. It results in establishing a multi-level marketing structure involving a large number of
distributors. With no inhibitions or size limitations, the network structure grows beyond any other kind
of networking and supports a large number of people.

Companies don’t invest immensely to build a network but earn sufficient returns. Additionally, in the
process, distributors are also positively affected by its creation and the profits are substantial. Being a
reliable system, there is no chance of collapse and creates a direct connection between the company
and the target audience.

How to Be A Successful Network Marketer - Follow the 10 Tips!
Table of Content
Network marketing, often known as Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), is one of the most popular ways to
get into the world of business. It is one of the most popular home-based businesses since it has a low
barrier to entry. Companies and marketers can increase their online exposure and reputation by
connecting with their consumers. Affiliate marketing may be standard, but it isn't always easy to
practice. A large number of people have voiced dissatisfaction with their MLM results. But motivation
and strategy are essential to succeeding at it. Take a chance and read more about network marketing
tips and tricks.

Did you know?

Many big brands utilise network marketing to increase their internet brand and reach!

What is Network Marketing?

This is an excellent question with several possible responses. Network marketing is a business concept in
which corporations offer discounted items to network marketers.

The primary concept of network marketing success is to sell things about which you are enthusiastic to
subsequently resell these items. Network marketers may also be paid commissions for bringing in new
customers.It is critical that you have a strong desire to sell and that you can connect with a company
that matches your beliefs. However, before you become engaged in this company, you need to do your
homework and discover more network marketing tips for beginners. In this post, we will go over some
of the most crucial network marketing success tips to keep in mind while thinking about this sort of
business opportunity.

Network Marketing Success Tips

It is critical to understand how to be successful in network marketing. Many successful network
marketers did not do business with their friends and family. Even if they were not members, they
frequently invited others.But by following the network marketing tips and tricks listed below, you can
maximise your time and profit. Here are some of the best network marketing success tips:

Also Read: Get Your Local Marketing Up & Running

Create a Positive Mental Attitude

The most critical component in gaining network marketing success is handling it with the seriousness it
deserves. Make a list of your goals and keep it someplace secure. Some of these goals may involve
making a certain amount of money or establishing a certain number of distributors. Consider the
likelihood that one of your future goals is to create a decent livelihood as a network marketer. To be
specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-based, you must give your whole focus to that goal.
You will never be able to attain it if you do not. Always be truthful and ethical in your interactions with
clients and consumers. If you are excited about your product, your excitement will be enough to
stimulate interest in it.

Recall All About the Topic

Any great accomplishment demands effort and expertise! Most established organisations that depend
on network marketing will have tools to train their staff to sell their goods. You may utilise these tools to
help you through the process of selling your items online. These resources may take the shape of
movies, eBooks, or other sorts of papers. Use the training and research possibilities available in the
direct sales profession to your advantage.Participants in business conventions and meetings with the
objective of training should attend as many as possible.

Choosing the Right Company

As previously said, achieving success as a network marketer will be simpler if you pick the correct
organisation to associate with in the first place. Concentrate your search on well-established
organisations that provide outstanding items as well as an effective remuneration plan. It also helps if
you are informed about or passionate about their goods or services. You may research multi-level
marketing companies on the internet to discover which one is the most excellent match for your
requirements and tastes. When investigating firms, consider the following questions:

When was the firm founded?

Is there a specific product that you are enthused about?

What is the company's current level of sales?

Thoroughly investigate the things. If you suspect a firm is conducting a pyramid scam, exit immediately.
Learn about the numerous items and services important for network marketing success. Also,
understand the commissions that the company gets. Because you will be selling these things, you must
ensure that they are secure and trustworthy before putting them on the market for purchase. Failure to
comply will result in legal actions being taken against you!

Find and Contact Potential Clients

Prospecting is a vital skill in network marketing. If you want to succeed, you must grasp how to prospect
successfully. Make a list of your most prospective consumers or prospects and reach out to them as
soon as possible to get your networking company off to a good start.

Since you cannot depend on your downline to create leads, you must manage your own lead generating
operations. You must actively recruit new salespeople or 'downline' for your team to receive a
percentage of the revenue earned by their efforts.

Around 90-92 percent of individuals depend on recommendations from family and friends when it
comes to increasing the success rate in network marketing. As a result, you may be able to recruit the
help of family members, friends and acquaintances to work as sales representatives for you. They are
more inclined to do business with you than a total stranger if they are familiar with you, appreciate you
and trust your judgement.

Develop Leaders and Give Them the Tools for Success

A network marketing leader's role is to extract more value from new distributors while also supporting
them in reaching their own goals and objectives.
The more you develop as a leader, the higher your odds of recruiting future leaders to your organisation
succeed. If you have two actual leaders on your team, your company has the potential to be highly
successful.

Network With Other Marketers

It all comes down to the relationships you build with individuals above and below you in the
organisation if you want to be a successful network marketer. Furthermore, having a solid connection
with clients is critical.

You should evaluate the likelihood that those in positions of control above you recruited you for this
organisation. You should talk to them if you need direction or support to sell more because of their aid,
resulting in a win-win scenario for both of you.

Meanwhile, you must advise others who have been asked to join you. Guide them and guarantee their
network marketing success, but also pressure them to fulfil their duties.

Keep Your Focus on the Task at Hand

You must approach network marketing as if it were an honest small company of which you were the
only owner and operator. As part of your tax preparation, prepare correct tax returns, establish a
company plan and build new approaches.

When you start earning a livelihood, you may employ an accountant to help you with your tax
preparation and filing needs. It is structured so that your revenues are directly proportionate to the
number of individuals that join your team. Independent sales representatives are self-employed that do
one-on-one business with consumers, often from the comfort of their own homes.

To create leads and complete sales, you must first build a network of like-minded people. Furthermore,
every individual they recruit becomes an employee of yours and a part of their downline in the
organisation.

Create a Marketing Strategy That Works

Individuals joining your network or buying your products and services are the most significant success
variables in multi-level marketing. Determine who has a need or desire for your goods or services before
creating a marketing plan. Make a list of everyone you know who may be prospective customers or
distributors, and have it close at hand at all times.

Utilise the Social Media Tools Available

Working from home with network marketing is one of the most popular online business ideas for
individuals looking to earn a livelihood from their computers. If you want to gain network marketing
success, use the internet.
The internet has fundamentally transformed the market environment when engaging with potential
customers. Reach out to them on Facebook or other social media sites, and you will gain a fan following
in the process. You can also utilise Instagram to enhance the number of sales of your items.

The cheap cost and convenience of using the social media marketing platform will simplify producing
extra revenue. Another alternative is to develop a website or blog devoted to a given subject or to
generate YouTube videos. Don’t forget to collect leads' email addresses.

Conclusion

Earning a consistent income through network marketing success is complex and not for everyone.
Furthermore, many people do not regard multi-level marketing as a real business, similar to a shop. In
contrast to traditional work, Multi-Level Marketing permits you to earn more money than those in your
organisation who are 'higher' up. You must, however, approach it as if it were an actual business. You
are now ready to dive in and start earning money following these network marketing tips and tricks.

Learn How To Start A New MLM Company All On Your Own
Image featuring a merchant account and a new MLM company, symbolizing financial transactions and
the establishment of a network marketing business.
Candles. Cosmetics. Health Supplements. Jewelry. All of the above have been the base niches for multi-
level marketing companies for years. From leggings to legal services, these businesses gain traction and
pull in quite a profit for both distributors and owners alike.
So why not start a new MLM company of your own? It’s easier than you think. Instead of searching for
the best MLM company to join, read on to learn about the logistics of starting your own direct sales
adventure.

Find Your Niche

The MLM model can be lucrative in any niche. Whether you’re selling candles, makeup, or diet wraps,
the product itself is secondary, but equally as important as your niche. First and foremost, you’re selling
a lifestyle. As in every MLM’s your goal is to develop a network of independent distributors who then
earn from welcoming more independent distributors as well as reselling your products.

Your product and your niche are your vehicles, while your network of members provides fuel to the
business.

Pick your niche carefully. Do some research on the latest trends, both in the direct marketing industry
and otherwise. What do people like to buy these days? Also, who should be the target demographic for
your MLM?

For instance, research shows that millennials cherish a healthy lifestyle. If they’re the demographic you
want to cater to, stick to a health-related niche.

That being said, be careful not to enter an overly saturated market. There are already hundreds of
health-related direct marketing companies doing business worldwide. That kind of competition makes a
niche difficult to break into.

Figure out what can set your MLM apart from the rest. On the product and niche level of your business,
try to offer something no one else does.

First, choose two or three niches you’re interested in. Then, study the most prominent network
marketing companies across those niches.

Find out how you can stand out among your potential competition in terms of your product line. Ideally,
you should zero in on a sub-niche when you’re just starting out.

Develop Your Products

Now that you’ve selected a niche to work with, it’s time to develop or source your products. Are you
going to offer something entirely original, or are you going the wholesale route?

The type of products you choose will depend on your budget. How much do you want to invest in your
new MLM company, and how much overhead can you work with?

Some companies manufacture their products from scratch. For example, the eco-friendly MLM called
Melaleuca has a manufacturing plant on its own property. In fact, it claims to be the largest
manufacturer of packaged consumer products in the Northwest.
That kind of dedication to a product line requires billions of dollars in overhead costs. It also calls for
skilled product management. However, manufacturing your own products gives you an edge over other
network marketing companies in your niche.

The easier and less expensive route is to purchase from a wholesale product supplier. If you choose the
wholesale route, you can still build an outstanding direct marketing company. You may choose to buy
from overseas buyer platforms such as Alibaba or Ali Express, where wholesalers offer private label
products to US business owners.

Using online wholesale suppliers is low-risk, especially because you can select the perfect products by
buying a few small test batches first. Once you find the ideal products, you can roll them out in your
catalog without having spent tens of thousands of dollars on the manufacturing process.

Determining Your Compensation Plan

Now that you have something to sell, take time to create the meat of your company: the payment plan.
How will you price your products, and what commissions should you offer to your members?

According to the nature of the MLM model, your company should thrive on both the sales of products
and the building of an organization. So what kind of incentives will you offer to both your customers and
distributors?

Typically, MLM businesses offer three or more tiers of membership. Each member earns a commission
from the sale of products and services in their organization. Sometimes, members also earn
commissions from product sales.

In place of product sale commissions, you can offer product discounts for members who make a certain
sales quota. You can also offer special member-only pricing for the products. This serves as an incentive
for both prospective and veteran members of an MLM.

The point is to come up with a structured pricing and incentives plan. You can figure out the percentages
based on your product pricing and overhead costs.

Structure Your New MLM Company Online

Once you write out a payment plan, it’s time to put it all online. Use a dedicated MLM web design and
software service to serve as your digital baseline.

With this kind of service, you can build the original website for your company, and then have it replicate
member sites for all of your recruits. It’s important to use dedicated MLM software that can easily
streamline the filing and payouts of commissions. If your payouts are delayed or disorganized, the
organization as a whole will suffer.

Your members are counting on you in order to make their businesses work, so timeliness is an important
factor. A smooth, easy-to-use website interface can make all the difference in the success of an MLM.
Advertise Your New MLM Company
Once you establish and incorporate your new company, it’s time to roll out the ads. Your prospective
members are the bread and butter of your business, so drawing them in with a strong and friendly
recruitment process is paramount.

Social networking platforms are the best friend of direct marketing organizations. Not only can you
recruit your first members through social networks like Facebook, but your organization can thrive
through your members’ own social media promotion.

Market your business as a life-changing opportunity for entrepreneurs. Your target market should
ideally be comprised of people who are ready to make a living from home. These people should be
motivated and coachable. This way, you can lead a team that follows your business model with
enthusiasm.

Focus on spreading the word about your company through direct sales groups online. Many of them
allow promotional posts for free. If you have the budget for it, you can also invest in paid social media
ads.

Once you recruit some members, make it your priority to teach them how to do the same. When your
company is trending in various direct sales and entrepreneurial circles, it’ll be a strong sign that your
MLM is thriving.

Will Your MLM Be Lucrative?

The success of your new MLM company depends on all of the points above. Every detail counts, from
establishing a solid online platform to creating a detailed compensation plan to recruiting motivated
members.

With that said, a well-designed organization website and payout service is the backbone of any MLM. To
kickstart your direct marketing journey, contact us today to ensure that your MLM software stands out.

author
Pavanan Ghosh
Updated on November 26th, 2022
Since the idea of multi-level marketing (MLM) was first proposed, it has been increasingly popular. Even
corporate titans like Donald Trump and Warren Buffett have been incredibly transparent about the
scope and potential of MLM opportunities. More people are now considering and giving attention to the
thought of how to start a network marketing business.

What are those special things that make the MLM business really attractive?

One of the major reasons that we can find out is that it’s a really perfect platform that combines the
flexibilities of both business and the paycheck system of a conventional office job. Or in other words, it
delivers the positive of both fields.

Well, we will discuss in detail here those things to be taken care of before starting an MLM business! But
before, you should make a thorough research on how to choose the best MLM company, so that you
can be a part of the opportunities provided by them.

Also reading about the reviews on various MLM companies will give you an added advantage in doing
so!

And then follow the methods expressed below. Hope it will be really helpful for you guys out there!

Steps On How To Start Network Marketing / MLM Business

Step 1: Why Start an MLM business?

To be successful in any sphere, and especially in the business sector, one needs to have a clear insight
into the scope and possibilities regarding his area. They should have a proper dream on why they are
choosing or planning to enter the network marketing industry and must have the knowledge of each
step that helps them to understand how to start network marketing

Is it mainly to have a status in society? Or do you want to make some good money from the field and
lead a luxurious life with a huge house, some great cars, etc. ? You should have a clear dream for your
life to go on perfectly!

Well, take a book and write it in bold letters about why you are selecting the network marketing field.
After fixing your dream, you should really be committed and dedicated to acquiring the same.

MLM Company registration legal regulations

Most countries have different rules on registering an MLM company. In very few countries Pyramid
schemes are legal.

But the majority of countries have strong provisions relating to MLM company registration to avoid the
Pyramid scheme exercising companies registering under the facade of being an MLM.
Most of the legal regulations on the registering of MLM companies ensure that the registering company
focuses on its sale rather than growing its distributor network. To ensure this there are rules that
companies need to mandatorily follow. This includes rules such as the company should provide during
registration details on their business, goods, and services, terms of return and exchange need to be
properly specified. The states are also advised to closely monitor Direct selling companies consistently to
avoid scams from happening again.

Step 2: Fix a Goal

Fix a Goal
Take each and every step with some really great care and precision, because every step will be acting as
a foundation for your network marketing business. After fixing your goal to be achieved, the next thing
to figure out is how are actually going to achieve the target?

One thing you can actually do is either consult with your upline sponsor or also make use of this guide
and decide on your long term goals for a term, year or even monthly goals.

For instance, consider the case given below.

Long Term Goal – to earn One Lakh Rupees every month by coming year.

Yearly Goal – To make at least Rs. 50,000 this year.

Monthly Goal – To build your downline and train them.

Having a fixed goal will help you in staying focused all the time and ways to reach that goal.

Pro Tip : Write down your notes in some sticky note and fix it in a place where you can see it every day!

Step 3: Prepare a Perfect Action Plan

The next thing you should do after learning the tactics of how to start Network marketing / MLM
business, is to put your plans into action. Prepare a well-structured calendar depending upon your goals
and training. And remember to share those weekly or monthly tasks to be finished to your Downline
members in a timely manner.

And note that as your team grows, so does your business! So give the necessary attention in building up
your team.

How to determine if an MLM company would be successful?

We can foresee that a successful MLM company would have a product or service that has a real-world
market. Those MLM companies that do not have any real product or service gradually perish by either
being brought to close down by the concerned legal authority for being a Pyramid scheme or for other
reasons.
We can determine that an MLM company would be successful in the future if it has well studied and
implemented MLM plans that are genius in its strategy and implementation among its distributors who
are spread far and wide in its network.

If an MLM company is hired or managed by reputed or popular personalities then such companies have
a bigger chance of being trusted easily by their audience and have more chances of being successful in
the future

Things to avoid to properly get registered as an MLM company

The following are stated as potential elements that lead to illegal market plans and should be avoided by
a company registering as an MLM company.

Products that do not have a “real world” market.

Products that are sold at high costs.
Mandatory purchase of company products is required.
Plans that reslit in distributors stocking up on inventory.
A significant monetary investment is required.
Purchases of peripheral or additional items or services are mandatory
Company’s products are consumed entirely or almost entirely by distributors.
Plans in which distributors are left with large amounts of unsold products when their participation is
cancelled.
Purchases made by distributors to further the marketing strategy rather than out of real want and need
for the product.
Plans that wolid fail if participants do not purchase.
Plans which make no effort to emphasise retail sales to the litimate nonparticipant consumer.
Plans which require no meaningfli participation by distributors after becoming a distributor.
Plans in which fees are paid to distributors for headhunting.
Plans in which commissions are not based on actual Products which have “no real-world retail product
sales.
Plans in which emphasis is on recruitment rather than the sale of a product.
Plans which contain elements of a lottery rewarding participants based on chance rather than on bona
fide sales efforts.
Earnings misrepresentations or inflated earnings representations.
Pro Tip: Prepare a monthly calendar on the Tasks to be Executed by you and your team members.

Step 4: Execute Your Plan With Proper Attention

The successful people do not stop after planning, they proceed further by converting their plans into
reality. It has been found that almost 80% of the people will give up their plans after the planning phase.
And you should never do this. Be a champion and put in that additional effort required to convert your
dreams into a reality! The various things that you can include in your monthly goals include:

Completing a minimum of sales every month.

To recruit new members.
And to train the existing and newly added members properly.
Always try to keep track of the above-mentioned things. And you can see the difference it brings in your
business career.

Pro Tip: Always try to maintain the minimum sales required, generate new leads on a regular basis and
train the newly added as well the old members in your downline.

Step 5: Make an Analysis of Your Actions Regularly

It is very important to make an analysis of the things you have done each week or at the end of that
particular month. Have a glance at the things you have achieved, the chances you missed out and the
things that can be improved.

Also, try to celebrate the small victories you have made with your team members, so that it all gives a
positive boost to them in some form or the other. Preparing an analysis will help you in knowing how
near are you in achieving your goal and will help you in creating a better action plan for the next month.
Always research for new helpful tips that makes you and your teammates better understand how to
start network marketing which will be result oriented.

Remember every small step moves a step nearer to your MLM success!

Pro Tip: In short success formula is a well-balanced combination of Dreams, Goals, Training, Plan,
Actions, and Analysis!

Step 6: Choose the Best MLM Compensation Plan

Designing your MLM plan is the most important phase that will decide the fate of your MLM business.
Deciding on a plan that would best benefit the company takes a good understanding that can foresee
Product category, Service or product, Ratio of cost to the consumer, Corporate objectives, the ease with
which sales can be made, whether there is room for incentives, and more.

If you are a layman in this field getting advice from an expert will give you a good insight into ow MLM
plans to need to be developed and what factors will matter the most. Doing proper research into each
plan will contribute very much to developing a successful MLM plan. The cost of developing each plan
and how such a plan can benefit your distributors and at the same time benefit companies need to be
budgeted and forecasted.

How To Start Network Marketing Business in Nigeria or Africa: A Guide

How To Start A Lucrative Network Marketing Business In Nigeria Or Africa: The Complete Guide | Image:
Pinterest

The 21st century marketplace has widened far beyond the traditional methods used decades ago.
Business owners have realized that they do not have to limit the reach of their sales by focusing on the
immediate market around them when they could contract a loose team of marketers all across the
nation to sell their products to their respective contacts without having to bear the expenses of
expanding their sales team. Network marketing or multi-level marketing provides the fluidity that
traditional businesses lack, and is now gaining acceptance across major cities and towns of the world.
Available global statistics bear testimony to this.

As of 2019, the global network marketing industry was worth $167 billion. Although this is a dip from
the $192 billion value of 2018, the industry has been estimated to hit $200 billion by the end of 2020.
Several factors influence the success of network marketing in different parts of the world, and this
explains why USA have the leading multi-level marketing industry in the world worth $35.2 billion as of
2019. They are trailed by China ($23.95 b), Korea ($17.68 b), Germany ($17.45 b) and Japan ($15.62 b).
The other countries in the top 10 countries with the biggest network marketing such as Brazil, Malaysia,
Mexico and France all recorded less than $10 billion in the same year.

It is not clear how much the network marketing industry is worth in Nigeria, largely because it is
relatively new and people are still skeptical about its legitimacy. However, going by the growing number
of multi-level marketing companies and increase in participation level, it is safe to conclude that
network marketing is set to find a foothold in the country. Already, there are many established
companies in the country and new ones are joining the trend by the day.

Perhaps what many people enjoy about the direct selling business is that you can operate at your own
time and rate and can combine it to your regular job as a way of getting extra income. If you’re
considering starting a network marketing business, here is a detailed guide to get you started on the
right foot.

What Is Network Marketing?

Also known as direct selling or multi-level marketing, network marketing is a system in which sales
representatives sell products on behalf of companies to consumers for commissions. The major
difference between network marketing and the regular sales distribution is that sales representatives do
not only sell products to consumers but also recruit others into the network. The more sales generated
by the ‘downline’ of a sales representatives, the more commissions they get. This pyramid structure
makes network marketing appear like a Ponzi scheme but it is a completely legal system of marketing.

What Is A Network Marketing Business?

A network marketing business refers to the process of building a sales link for a company product or
service. To start a network marketing company, you do not necessarily have to own a manufacturing
company or a physical location. With a team of trusted salespersons who are interested in marketing,
you could build a strong network sales representative. An alternative is to join an existing multi-level
marketing company. The good thing about starting a direct selling business is that each sales
representative takes the risk for their products. This means you do not take the risk for others because
they get to pay for their products before claiming them for retail.

Business Opportunities In Network Marketing In Nigeria And Across The World

1). Retail And Supply Services:
The most basic opportunity in home business for everyone who is interested is that you get a retail job
which you can take up as a full-scale job or an added business for extra income. This system makes retail
service much easier and bridges the gap between manufacturers and end-consumers.

2). E-marketing Services:

Although there are several methods for practicing home business, much of the actual sales occurs on
the internet, especially on social media platform where sales representatives get to display their
products for friends and acquaintances to see and possibly develop interest.

3). Social Media Advert Placements:

Advert placement is another vital business opportunity associated with network marketing. In addition
to the physical person-to-person interactions that occur between sales reps and those around them at
home and work, they deploy the services of advert platforms on the internet to make people aware of
their products. This includes email marketing and WhatsApp marketing, among others.

4). Delivery Services:

Distribution and delivery drive the success of multi-level marketing. Sales reps and manufacturers work
with logistics businesses and nationwide courier services to get their products delivered to other sales
reps and end-consumers across the country.

Types Of Network Marketing

1). Health And Wellness:
When classified by the kinds of products, health and wellness products are the most common items
distributed via network marketing channels, thanks to the growing consciousness about health and
wellbeing among the global populace.

2). Cosmetics And Body Care:

Cosmetics and body care is another broad niche on the multi-level market. They sell faster than most
other products mainly because people are constantly willing to try out new skin care, hair care and
general body care products.

3). Communication and Internet Services:

Internet and communication services are fast gaining grounds in network marketing. This is perhaps the
easiest niche in network marketing because it involves no physical delivery of products. Items purchased
are in forms of internet subscription, mobile data and TV subscriptions, payment of utility bills and other
related services.

How To Start A Network Marketing Business: A Step-By-Step Guide

1). Study And Understand The System:
It is necessary to understand the structure of multi-level marketing before you delve into it. Whether
you are starting a direct selling company of your own from the scratch or you want to join an existing
one, you should acquaint yourself with all the information relating to structure, payment, setup and
distribution.

2). Choose A Niche:

It helps to focus on a particular niche. If you plan to deal in communication services, stick to it. If
cosmetics and skin care products are the items that interest you, you should be upfront with your
decisions.

3). Find A Supplier:

Network with manufacturers in the particular niche you selected and make concrete plans with them on
how you intend to carry out your network marketing.

4). Set Up A Management Website:

Since there will be lots of people in the downline, it is necessary to make things easy by creating a
suitable website where sales representatives can register, make orders, take inventory of goods bought
and sold and also get their commissions after sales.

5). Set Up The Price And Commission Structure:

A multi-level marketing business operates basically on referral and commissions. You need to set up the
commission structure form the start, so that new sales reps can be informed on the prices of items, the
commissions they are entitled to, how many members they need in their immediate downline, as well as
every other terms and conditions involved.

6). Advertise Your Business:

Once your website and business structure are all set, you are good to order products from your
suppliers and place adverts both for the products and for interested sales representatives.

Cost of living is on the upswing, regardless of which part of this world you live. Everyone from
governments to citizen is locked in this centuries old battle of combating inflation.

Of course, some degree of inflation- or price rise- occurs naturally due to our dependence on imported
or expensive stuff. Market factors including demand-and-supply dictate inflation indexes worldwide.

The best way to battle inflation is by increasing your personal and family incomes. Of course, there are
various options available should you decide to boost your regular earnings.

However, in recent years, network marketing is fast becoming popular as an excellent source of extra
income.

I have over 15 years experience in network marketing and was associated with dozens of good and bad
MLM companies. I have recruited thousands of people in my downline and made excellent income from
many of the companies.

So today, I am going to share you all my experience about network marketing business and how can you
become successful if you want to work in a MLM company.
Understanding network marketing
network marketing
The term itself is self explanatory. Network marketing simply implies marketing- or promoting and
selling- a product within your own circle of family and friends.

You can extend it to include colleagues, neighbors, business associates and anyone whom you can
network with effectively.

And if you want to make it big then you can promote to strangers through offline advertisements like
newspaper, pamphlet ads etc. and online marketing like blogs, Facebook, WhatsApp etc.

Advantages of network marketing business

You can do it part time.
In my 15 years career, I have seen hundreds of people who earn more income from MLM than their full
time job.
I have seen many people become wealthy including me during the same period.
MLM business provides ample opportunities for students, housewives, retired persons, senior citizens as
well as people with special needs to earn a decent income.
You can start network marketing business without investing much money or even zero investment.
You don’t require infrastructure such as a dedicated office for network marketing business.
Academic qualifications are not important for network marketing; just anyone can do it.
Network marketing effectively utilizes the society to introduce new products and concepts within a
specific geographical area or demographic group.
Products and services offered by network marketing tend to be lower priced than same stuff available at
stores.
And the best thing I like about network marketing business is meeting new people & travelling to
different locations around the world.

Other names for network marketing

Network marketing is known worldwide with myriad names. These include

Multi Level Marketing (MLM).

Direct Marketing.
Pyramid Schemes/ Pyramid Marketing.
Direct Marketing.
Ponzi Schemes.
However, it is worth noting that the terms ‘pyramid’ and ‘Ponzi’ have negative connotations. They refer
to scams.
Direct marketing refers to schemes where you are the sole supplier of goods or services provided by a
company. It explicitly implies, no agents or third parties are involved.

This means, the consumer does not pay unnecessary intermediary commissions.

Skills required to work as network marketer

skills required for mlm
Frankly speaking, your academic achievements and qualifications are irrelevant for network marketing.
You could be a medical professional or a reputed architect or even an illiterate.

However, you can sell mundane daily objects such as herbal soap or food supplements as network
marketer. Regardless, here are some skills that can help you become a successful network marketer:

Excellent communications and interpersonal skills

Patient listener
Pleasant personality
Convincing talker
Astute judgment about money and finances
Great organizational capabilities
Friendly and gregarious
Willingness to exert extra efforts
Open to new ideas and concepts
Skills to develop and consistently maintain network of contacts
And most important, helping their team members to grow their network
Additionally, if you are a native speaker of any particular language, this ability can help you develop a
network within an ethnic community.

There are no empirical studies to contradict this statement but generally women and senior citizens
make better network marketers.

However, this can be attributed to more time they spend on this work, compared with men and
youngsters.

Evolution of MLM in India

Network marketing or MLM companies entered India in late 1960s and early 1970s. Mostly, they offered
small savings schemes with large returns. Foremost among them were chit funds.

Other schemes would promise anything from stainless steel utensils to saris and jewelry as rewards for
members who enroll more people.

Sadly, these indigenous schemes became extinct within a few months. Inability to sustain the schemes
was the main reason, as people balked at these offerings. Indians were not as affluent then and hence,
reluctant to invest in such schemes.
Tracing history of MLM
Interestingly, network marketing is not a new concept worldwide.

The accolade of the world’s first network marketing firm goes to Avon, which began its business in New
York in 1886 with fragrances and beauty products for women. Despite its impressive history spanning
over 130 years, Avon continues to sell its products through network marketing. Today, this firm has
annual turnover exceeding US$ 10 billion. Avon is also the world’s second largest network marketing
company.
In 1922, Kleeneze, a UK based firm began its humble business of garden, home and body care products.
This firm also operates till date with network marketing as its backbone.
The third oldest network marketing company is Betterware that sells household and beauty products.
Other notables in the network marketing industry include:

Wachter’s Organic Sea Products (founded in 1932)

Tupperware (1946)
Cutco Cutlery (1949)
Jewels By Park Lane (1955)
Shaklee Corporation (1956)
Golden Neo Life Diamite, famous as GNLD (1958)
Amway (1959).
Further, these companies are flourishing till date. Clearly, this indicates that network marketing is a
success. Millions of people worldwide have become rich fast selling products of these firms.

Notably, several companies also lost business and had to close doors during this era. However, their
failure was due to various reasons ranging from World War-I from 1914, Great Depression of 1929 and
World War-II from 1939.

Mainly, economic uncertainty during these intensely difficult times this planet has seen, led to failure of
many network marketing companies.

A unique system at work

Understandably, network marketing is a unique business model in its own right. Here, the company does
not open its retail showrooms or sell its stuff through other stores.

Instead, people who wish to capitalize and make money on a company’s good reputation, buy and sell
its products for a small profit. Usually, these products are sold by network marketers within their
personal clique.

Steps to Become a Network Marketer

mlm business steps
Obviously, there are several benefits of becoming a network marketer, full or part-time. Should you
meet the above criterion and have great life skills, you can easily enroll for network marketing and get
rich quickly.
Remember, network marketing, by no means, is a cakewalk, as one could get deceived into imagining.
Instead, it requires extra efforts.

All your interpersonal skills and social contacts will undergo rigorous tests when you enter network
marketing.

Step-1: Study the market

Firstly, find out which exclusive products can be useful in your community or neighborhood. This can
indeed be very tricky.

Remember, a majority of successful network marketing companies operate in rather avant-garde

domains of healthcare and beauty.

Meaning, the products will most likely be untested for results are based on traditional or shaman
recipes. However, the biggest challenge is selling financial products or schemes that offer high returns
for low investments.

Here, network marketing is at severe disadvantage for several reasons.

For one, investors prefer conventional offerings such as bank deposits, mutual funds and insurance.
Especially since the network marketing industry as a whole continues to reel under various major scams
involving investment schemes.

Secondly, selling financial schemes often involves excruciating efforts. Obviously, nobody wants to part
with money to invest in dubious sounding schemes by nondescript companies. Meaning, you will waste
precious time on convincing someone without prospect of a sale.

Thirdly, you will require astute and excellent mathematical and financial skills to convince a buyer to
take your investment product.

Step-2: Determine affordability

Regardless of whatever product or service you intend to promote through network marketing,
affordability matters. Meaning, your target clientele should be able to buy your stuff easily.

I started MLM business in 2001 and my first company was Japan Life. I attended their seminar in Mahim,
Mumbai and was very much impressed with the overall presentation of the product & the earnings of
MLM leader present there.

The product offered was a magnetic bed. You won’t believe, but the price of this magnetic bed was
around Rs 90,000.

It was not affordable to me but still managed to buy it. I worked very hard for 6 months, tried to
convince each of my friends & relatives but not able to sell even a single product.
The reason was “It was very expensive”.

Expensive or high-risk offerings have fewer takers. Affordable product means you attract more people.
This directly translates into higher or lower income for you.

Generally, reasonably priced products stand a better chance of success in network marketing. For
example, nobody will buy a shampoo for Rs.500 or toothpaste worth Rs. 300 unless they have proven
miraculous predications. However, a product that costs reasonable for its quality and ingredients will sell
faster.

Step-3: Scout network marketing companies

Once again, this is a very essential element of entering the network marketing business. As mentioned
earlier, several fraudulent companies continue to mar the market almost daily.

I joined Speak Asia Online in 2010 and recruited few of my relatives & friends in this MLM company but
soon I begin to doubt about the authenticity of the company.

Thank god I did not promote it heavily because the company proved to be a biggest fraud of that time.

Therefore, you need to be extra cautious in selecting the company you wish to represent in your social
network. Associating with perfidious companies can tarnish your family and your social and financial
standing.

Further, you also need to ensure the company you wish to represent has limited presence in your target
market. It is easier to build on a reputed, established brand but returns can be lower due to tenacious
competition from existing network marketers of the same company.

Step-4: Identify your targets

Upon completion of the first three steps, you need to identify your target market. This involves
compiling a list of your closest people who can afford the product or service. Additionally, you can also
determine popularity of your target customers in the society.

Remember, network marketing depends heavily upon the proverbial word-of-mouth publicity. Hence,
the better connected your target customers, higher your chances of promoting the stuff to a wider
clientele.

Step-5: Invest cautiously

Frankly speaking, every network marketing based company brazenly brags about its popularity. This will
be evident from their promos on the internet, mailers and other literature.

Undoubtedly, there would be several rags-to-riches stories that a company highlights. However, you
also need to determine whether there are any riches-to-rags stories among the company’s network
marketers.
Usually, glamour of network marketing promos tempts a beginner to invest heavily. We recommend you
assiduously resist such allurements. Remember, a reputed brand means intense competition, little
known product means slower progress.

Therefore, be cautious when investing in network marketing products and schemes. Further, never
empty your coffers or bank balance to invest on network marketing.

Step-6: Approaching the MLM company

Like insurance, “Network marketing business is sold not bought”. Someone will knock your doors in the
form of relatives, friends or colleagues offering you a great-sounding scheme..

But if you have already decided to join a particular company, then easiest way to join it through an
existing network marketer working in that company.

Just Google “Company Name” + leader or associate or distributor and you will find ads from network
marketers in various classified sites.

Now contact each of them and find the best network marketer who can provide you complete help for
growing your network.

Network marketers are desperate to join such people. You have good chances of negotiation. Now you
decide what you want from them.

Step-7: Get your credentials

As soon as a network marketing company welcomes you onboard, get yourself the necessary
credentials. This involves getting company brochures, flyers, promotional material, samples, testimonies
of satisfied users and other similar stuff.

You can also have a small signboard at your premises and posters/ banners on streets stating your
network marketing business, products, services and contact numbers.

Further, you will require business cards and some basic stationery including invoices, cash receipts,
quotation books and letterheads. This can cost a small fortune. However, investing on these will impart
a professional tinge to your network marketing business.

Step-8: Identify opportunities

Immediately upon establishing your network marketing venture, you need to look for clients. For
starters, begin with the list of target customers you made and approach them with your offerings.

Further, you can request them for referrals, regardless of whether these initial targets culminate into
successful sales. Furthermore, you can promote your business during fairs and fests, at religious shrines,
sports and community clubs and social events.
Look for opportunities to set up a small stall or showcase your products and services wherever people
will attend in large numbers but will have ample time to speak with you.

But if you need quick results then I will highly recommend you to promote your network marketing
business on internet.

From 2001 to 2009, I promoted all my MLM companies offline only. I would start with all my contacts
and then with pamphlets distribution and newspaper ads.

But when I started online promotion, I got more members in just 1 year than what I got in 8 years of
offline marketing.

Network marketers in Thailand and the Philippines serve as excellent examples about how Facebook can
be effectively deployed for network marketing.

They post excellent pictures and videos of their products, complete with testimonies and pricelist. These
network marketers not only attract clients within their country, they frequently bag foreign customers
too.

So I will highly recommend you to start promoting this online through blog, social media and many other
ways explained on MoneyConnexion.

Step-9: Help your downline for duplication

One of the biggest mistake most of the network marketers make is not helping their downlines to grow
their team.

You need to invest part of your earning to provide training & other help to your team members. Each
and every member in their team will give you same earning as your direct members.

You can take separate meetings of your team in a nice hotel and provide them all the support & training
they needed to expand their MLM business.

Remember, other network marketers are also active. You need to develop your own tactics to keep your
contacts and network loyal. This can be done by hosting occasional parties to celebrate an achievement
or family outings.

Often, you may have to part with freebies to ensure your customer, contact or network remains loyal.

Insight into workings of network marketing

Understanding how network marketing works is rather simple. Once you enroll with a company, you
become their associate. You do not represent this company. Simply put, you are selling stuff produced
or offered by that firm as your business.
Meaning, you buy from the company and sell to the end user. There are absolutely no intermediaries
like distributors or agents who get commissions. Usually, you will have to place an order for the stuff you
wish to sell.

This can be done before or after getting orders from your customers. The company will send you its
products through appropriate channels such as road, rail or airfreight.

For smaller packages, the company can use the postal service or a good courier. Once you have received
the ordered stuff, you sell it to the consumer.

The difference between your buying and selling price determines your profits. Often, companies give
incentives such as freebies that can also be sold to consumers. This money is also your profit.

Further, you can increase earnings by enrolling more network marketers for the company. Your new
recruits have to submit completed forms to the company, clearly indicating interest in promoting its
products and services.

Sometimes, a small entry fee is charged for enrollment. A portion of this entry fee is paid to you as
incentives.

Different Compensation Plans

mlm compensation plans
Compensation plan is one of the most important thing to check in a MLM business. Better is the
compensation plan, better will be your income in short time & less work.

Although there are dozens of MLM plans, but I am going to explain you only the most popular plans.

Generation Plan: This is the oldest & safest plan. Most of the big companies like Amway, Herbalife etc.
use ths plan. Here you get maximum earnings from your upper levels. But as the levels go further deep,
your earning decreases.

Matrix Plan: It’s one of the most popular MLM plan. You have limited width on your first level.
Maximum, you can sponsor 5 people in the first level of downline. If you sponsor more members than
max then it will be spillover and gives the benefit to your downline. Popular matrix plans are 3×5, 4×7,
3×9.

Binary Plan: This is my favorite compensation plan and this is also called as 2xn matrix plan. You need to
recruit only 2 members, one on left and one & right. Your 2 members will recruitment 2 members each.
You get same commission till unlimited levels.

Pyramid or Ponzi scheme

Invariably, companies offering financial products follow the traditional pyramid scheme. Meaning, as a
new network marketer, you are at the top of the pyramid.
You are required to enlist two or more new network marketers. Once again, you are paid a commission
or incentive for these new recruits.

Your new recruits get more subscribers to the pyramid scheme and get commissions or incentives too.
Further, you also get a small portion of the commissions paid by your new recruits and any new
members they enlist.

Unfortunately, such companies pay you from membership fees received from new recruits. These
payments cease the instant any part of this human pyramid fails.

Pyramid schemes are also called Ponzi schemes. It gets its name from Carlo Ponzi, a swindler from Italy.
Ponzi schemes involve paying older investors from membership fees paid by newer members. There are
no legitimate business activities.

Pyramid and Ponzi schemes are destined to doom. The moment a few members cannot enroll new
recruits or pay membership fees, the pyramid collapses.

Great MLM/ network marketing companies in India

Amway: This is perhaps the most reputed network marketing companies of India. Amway offers home,
beauty and nutritional products.
Herbalife: A popular brand in beauty and nutritional supplements, Herbalife ranks as the second most
popular MLM company in India.
Forever Living: Also locked in the fray for India’s huge body and healthcare products is Forever Living.
This company has made forays into rural India too, thanks to depots opened at strategic places to keep
network marketers well stocked and faster deliveries.
DXN: A South Korean company that offers exclusive, traditional products from hitherto unknown
formulae and recipes. DXN has recently entered herbal beverages market in India through its network
marketers.
Avon: The oldest company and pioneer of MLM is also present in India through its wide base of network
marketers. Avon cosmetics and beauty products are in great demand in the local market.
Although these are popular and recommended in India but you can join these companies from any part
of the world.

Legality of MLM companies in India

In recent months, all nutritional supplements offered by foreign-based MLM companies are under the
scanner of FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) and Food and Drug Administration.

The Ministry of Ayush plans to regulate import, distribution and sale of these products, based on proven
medical values and benefits. The move comes in wake of hundreds of complaints from Indian
consumers.

Apparently, some unscrupulous MLM firms had dumped substandard nutritional supplements in the
local market. They are alleged to have caused varying degrees of harm to consumers.
Several Indian states including Kerala and Rajasthan have specific laws governing MLM/ network
marketing companies and activities.

Also note, MLM schemes offering financial products are outlawed in India under the Prize Chit and
Money Circulation (Banning) Act 1978. Offering any products that contravene Indian laws is thus a
criminal offense.

Following adoption of Goods and Services Tax (GST) across India from July 1, 2017, all network
marketers are mandatorily required to switch to the new taxation system. Some nutritional and beauty
products from abroad offered by MLM firms have already become expensive.

India is moving towards a new Maximum Retail Price (MRP) system post-GST. Hence, all MLM firms are
now required to display MRP of their products clearly on their labels.

Last word
Obviously, network marketing business is a great way to get rich quickly. However, you need to get
associated with a great company. Before entering into any network marketing/ Multi Level Marketing/
Pyramid or Ponzi scheme, it is better to take a few precautions.

Ensure that the scheme is legal in your country.

Verify credentials of the MLM company and its officials.
Network marketing financial schemes that offer high returns on low investments can be frauds.
Read testimonials and reviews about the company.
Do not invest or sell in any products offered by dubious network marketing companies.

How to Start Your Network Marketing Company in 2021
December 30, 2020 VentaForce 0 Comments
The year 2020 has been disastrous for businesses around the world, but not quite so for the direct
selling industry. Home confinements and social distancing drove the demand for direct selling of
products and essential goods. Network marketing flourished in a year that caused a global economic
slowdown. And, this has encouraged millions of entrepreneurs in starting their own network marketing
business in 2021.

While the COVID-19 pandemic may end soon, consumers are expected to continue purchasing their
goods from direct sellers. After experiencing the profits made during the pandemic, the demand for
direct selling businesses is at an all-time high. According to Forbes, the direct-to-consumer business
model holds the key to success in the coming decade. With the high penetration of e-commerce
platforms and the upsurge in digital consumerism, 2021 is perhaps the best time for you to start your
own network marketing company. Here’s how:

How to Start a Network Marketing Company

Starting a network marketing company is not difficult. However, some may find it hard to understand
and implement the different multi-level marketing (MLM) techniques used by these companies. As an
entrepreneur, a new MLM company is your viable opportunity to become a successful businessman. It
not only provides the means of livelihood for all the members working your MLM network, but also
helps you master the selling of products in the most competitive marketplaces.

To start your own network marketing company, you need to get experience in an MLM organization or
consult MLM experts. This helps you understand how your company would evolve from the ground up.
If you’d consider doing it yourself, here are some professional tips on how to establish a network
marking business.

Specialize in a Product Category

A sure-shot way of running a successful network marketing business is product specialization. Most
MLM companies focus on a single product category before diversifying into other categories. You can
select your product line based on the motto of your network marketing company and the profitability of
the products. The global health crisis can be considered opportune to open a network marketing
company that sells healthcare products. Based on the niche of your business, you can devise network
marketing plans around it.

Tie Up with Wholesale Suppliers

After finalizing the product category and the product lists, find a wholesale supplier that can partner
with you. Make sure that the supplier is associated with the National Association of Wholesaler-
Distributors. You can also become more familiar with wholesalers by attending a couple of their
meetings. There are multiple wholesale suppliers and product manufacturers that can become potential
partners to your business. But, make the selection based on their dropshipping services, inventory level,
product catalogs, and brochures. It is important to develop network marketing plans by including the
perspective of your suppliers and how they can manage your orders. Before selecting the supplier, try to
arrange the supply of the products at the lowest cost per unit.

Build a Price Structure

Next up, you need to set the retail price of your products. Here, you need to consider the
recommendations of your supplier. While creating network marketing plans, you can use an effective
MLM software to create a commission structure. With the help of network marketing tools, you need to
determine the pricing of products that pays every distributor at different levels of the network. Ideally,
you can set the distributor commissions of 10% of the product price. First-level distributors should be
able to earn significant money from the sales made by their recruits. Hence, set the commissions for
second-level distributors at 5 percent each and so on.

Set Up Your Organization’s Management

Network marketing tools provided by MLM software can improve your business management. Your
newly-formed company needs to be organized in a way that the commission-payment structure is
properly implemented. Use Ventaforce, a cost-effective commission-payment software to calculate and
process the earnings of your fellow distributors. Additional features of the software can also help you
create instruction manuals, add product catalogs, manage websites, and place bulk orders.

Leverage Modern-day Digital Marketing

Advertising the final step to the launch of your network marketing company. Start promoting your
company, the products you sell, and the lucrative prices on digital magazines, social media platforms,
and mainstream publications. From email marketing to social media promotions, maximize all digital
marketing solutions to create a hype around your business. Try to get public figures and local celebrities
engaged with your company to drive your brand awareness.

In 2021, the success of your networking marketing company will be tested for its organizational
structure and technological advancement. Make sure to use the best MLM software while running your
new network marketing business in 2021 and beyond.

How To Setup A Network Marketing Business
Printer Print Email Email

Setting up a business is always a hassle and many entrepreneurs find this beginning stage the hardest.
While this is true on most occasions, one thing they should understand is the fact that, if you get it right,
then setting up your business in the right way will help you to get a head start in the industry. In this
article, we will take a look at how one can set up a network marketing business in the best possible way.
A network marketing business can be defined as a marketing strategy which is done for the sale of
services or products. Network marketing is also called as multi-level marketing or pyramid selling. Under
this model, the revenue for the multi-level marketing (MLM) company is acquired from a non-salaried
workforce selling the company’s services or products and at the same time, the earnings of those who
participate in this is decided based on a pyramid shaped or binary commission system.

Even though there is immense potential to succeed in this industry, it is crucial that you launch the
company in the best possible manner. And in this article, we will take a look at how an entrepreneur can
setup their network marketing business in the most efficient manner.

1. Understand why you want to Start a Network Marketing Business: This is one of the most crucial
aspect of starting a network marketing business. You need to identify why you want to start a network
marketing business and this will help you to not only be more motivated about making your business
successful but it will also allow you to understand what you are passionate about and start your
business around that particular product or service.

2. Identify and Set Goals: This is also a crucial facet of starting a network marketing business and
identifying and setting goals will allow you to have a guideline which you can follow. Setting goals will
help you to remain motivated in making your company a success and this is crucial if you want to run a
successful network marketing business in the long run. While setting goals, make sure that they are
practical and if you are setting unattainable goals, then it will de-motivate you which will adversely
impact the success of your business.

3. Have an Action Plan: Having an action plan is important and basically an action plan will allow you to
chart-out you company’s operations. This framework is crucial for most businesses and make sure that
your action plan is in sync with the organizational goals that you have set. If they are in sync, then you
will be able to take your company forward in a much better way and you will have better idea regarding
where you want to take your company to.
4. Reviewing your Performance: This step will help you to understand how you are performing and if
things are not going according to plan, then you can always take corrective actions to get back to the
right path.

As mentioned before, a network marketing business is a segment with immense growth potential and
following these steps will not only help you to launch your network marketing business but it will also
help you to run a successful business.

How to Build a Network Marketing Business Quickly

out how to achieve them. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be well on your way to building a successful
network marketing business.
Another important factor in building a network marketing business is to focus on the basics, and have a
disciplined daily routine. We must remember that the most successful people in any industry were those
who focused on the basics first. They built their businesses on a foundation of solid principles and then
added the bells and whistles as needed.

Below are three more tips to help you build your network marketing business quickly:

1. Create a Website
A website is one of the most important tools to build any type of business. It gives you a presence on the
web and lets people find out more about you. A website also makes it easier for prospects to contact
you.

2. Grow Your Email List.

Network marketers need an email list from the beginning, just like any other business. With social media
completely and utterly oversaturation, it makes sense to stand out from the crowd and create an email
list.

3. Use Social Media.

Social media has become one of the most powerful tools for building relationships with prospects and
customers. It’s also a great way to build your network marketing business quickly. Social media allows
you to connect with people who share your interests and goals. This makes them more likely to buy
from you. And when you’re ready to sell, you’ll already have a built-in audience.

Should You Build Your Network Marketing Business Online or Off?

To grow your network marketing business quickly you should use both online and offline prospecting.
Building your network marketing business online allows you to reach more people in a way that isn’t
possible offline. You can have people watching a video on demand at any time of the day from around
the world, and you can do it at any time you want. Offline, you might meet someone at the mall one
day, but nobody else will hear what you have to say except that one person.

Building online has more advantages, but if you want to learn how to succeed in network marketing fast,
you should use both. Online should be used to get you going and once you grow, then prospecting
offline will become a more important option for you to use.

Below I go into more detail on growing your network marketing business and helping you get the
breakthrough you need.

Introduction
Hey everyone, this is Darin Kidd. Hope you’re having a great day. Listen, today we’re going to talk about
five top tips when it comes to building your network marketing business. Do me a favor, as you join, let
me know where you’re watching from. We’re going to get right into the content, because what I’m
trying to do is keep these videos a little more compact and get straight to the information. So those of
you that are watching the replay, you don’t have to go through several minutes of me chatting. So again,
let me know where you’re watching from.

By the way, as you’re looking on the screen, you can see darinkidd.com/3laws. Hey Howard, welcome.
Thanks for joining. What you can do is you can download. We have updated that information, and so if
you have not had a chance to download that, it is now a workbook type completely free download. It’s
something that you can actually send to your team as well. I would encourage you to maybe take that
and you could even use that for a small training for your organization where you walk them through the
three irrefutable laws to build and having success in network marketing.

All right, and then for those that are … Hey Colleen, thanks for joining, in the bathtub in Florida. Well,
you know what? That’s a great place to be, Colleen. At least we know you’re clean. Clean Colleen. All
right, well, listen, happy Friday. Listen, for all of you that are constantly plugging into my trainings every
single week, the biggest way that you can support these trainings is depending on which platform you’re
watching on.

If you’re on Facebook, if you can make sure you click that like and smash that heart button, that’s going
to help the algorithm, it’s going to help push out this information to more people. If you’re on YouTube,
make sure you hit that like button, make sure you subscribe and then share this with any of your
teammates or friends that you believe this information will have an impact on. So that’s the way to help
me, because what it does, it allows, again, us to reach more people and that’s the way the algorithm
works.

5 Tips to Building a Strong Network Marketing Business

All right, so let’s talk about five top tips to building a network marketing business. Some of this, you may
have heard it before, maybe a little bit differently than I’m going to explain it today. We’re not going to
spend a lot of time going in depth, but I will tell you, as I was sitting back going, “You know what? what
are five top tips that I can share with people that are really impactful for their business?” These are the
ones that I came up with that helped me have some of those breakthroughs in my business.
Tip #1: How To Track Your Goals
Number one, knowing and having your goals and your why written down, okay? Knowing what your
goals are, knowing why you’re in the business, but very importantly, you want to make sure that you
write them down. Okay, one of the guys that I follow on YouTube that is a friend of mine, he’s had 40
million views on YouTube last year, and he was talking about the same thing. He’s like, “Hey, look, I had
some people in the comments that said, Hey, look, it’s a lot of the same information.” He goes, “I went
to that person’s channel and I looked at them, and they hadn’t even done any of the steps that I’ve been
teaching. So they were fussing about hearing the information over and over and over again, but yet they
never implemented anything that I had shared with them.”

So you want to make sure you’re not just hearing the information, but ask yourself, am I doing the
things that Darin is talking about on a weekly basis? Have I written down my goals, and have I written
down and taken time to really think about why I’m building the business? If you have not written them
down, then you know what, you’re just going, “Hey man, I’m crossing my fingers and I’m hoping that it’s
going to work.” Your life is more important than that, your business is more important than that, so
make sure you take time to write them down.

Tip #2: Be Intentional

Number two. Colleen, thank you so much for just sharing that with your team. Hey Justin, thanks for
joining. All right, so let’s talk about number two, being intentional. Being intentional. Locally my son and
I, we went and spent some time with John Maxwell here about two weeks ago. He was in Virginia and he
was speaking to several hundred CEOs from all over the world, and here’s what he said. “No one ever
drifted to a desired location,” okay? “No one ever drifted to a desired location.”

We can’t be random when it comes to building a business, we have to be very intentional with the
things that we do. So, what are some things that you can be intentional on a daily basis when it comes
to building your business? Well, you can have your DMOs, your daily method of operation. What are the
things that are going to get you to where you want to be? What are leading indicators to help you grow
your business? Let’s talk about new connections, okay? That’s being intentional. Okay, how many new
connections am I going to have on a daily basis?

What I used to do was go, okay, here’s my minimum. No matter what happens, at least five days a week,
I would train five days a week. For me, I would make sure it was six days a week, and I would go, no
matter what, this is my minimum when it comes to new connections on a daily basis. That I had a
realistic goal and I had a dream goal, and very rarely was I able to hit that dream goal, but most of the
time I was hitting between the realistic and the dream, and I knew that my reach-outs were going to
determine how fast I built my business.

So it’s about new connections, it’s about reaching out to people, it’s about posting on social media, your
follow ups, and promoting, okay? Those are just a few. When it comes to, hey, look, am I being
intentional treating my business like a business on a daily basis? You may go, “Hey Darin, but you don’t
understand, I’m busy, right? I’ve got a family, I’ve got a career. My wife and I, we have five kids.”

Make Sure You’re Being Effective

I had a team of several hundred thousand people all over the world, different time zones. We had
multiple franchises, but when my mentors taught me, “Darin, it’s not how much you do, it’s the
effectiveness of what you do.” So, it’s about knowing what hours you have to build your business. It’s
like the mom that I interviewed a while back, and she’s like, “Hey, look, I’ve got two little kids under four
years old. I am a teacher full-time, I don’t have a lot of contacts. I’m married, my husband works a full-
time job.” But she figured out what hours that she was going to work her business, she was intentional.

She’s like, “Look, I’m going to show up early at work, and I’m going to sit in the parking lot.” She got
there at 5:30 in the morning, and she worked her business where there was no distractions. Not only did
she know, okay, I’m going to work at there, I’m going to work it during my break, a little bit during my
lunch break, at night when the kids get in bed. She was putting in about 12 hours a week two hours a
day six days a week. Okay, she was very intentional with what hours she was going to work, and then
she was prepared and intentional knowing what she was going to do during those hours.

So when you’re intentional, you’re sitting in the parking lot in the pickup line for your kids like I’ve done
many times, but yet you got your hot prospect list and you’re on your phone making the most of the
time that you have, that 15 minutes, right? 15 minutes here, 15 minutes there. See, the great thing
about the network marketing space is I used to have to work my life around my business, but with
network marketing, you can work your business around your life. So it’s not how much you do, it’s the
effectiveness of what you do, all right?

Hey, I believe it’s Lily. Yes, you called me live. That’s awesome. Hey Charles, thanks for joining. Look, I
appreciate everyone sharing, I appreciate you smashing that heart button. For all of you that have just
jumped on, the way that you can help me with my YouTube channel and Facebook is smash the heart
button, the like button and subscribe.

All right, so being prepared and then having that action plan in place. We can confuse busy-ness and be
busy, but yet not be productive. So, a question that you can write down and spend some time after this
training, going through what are the MMAs, okay? What are the money-making activities or HPAs, high
payoff activities, that are going to get me to where I want to be, right? So, are you reaching out to
people? We talked about that. Are you promoting trainings?

But make sure that you’re not just busy, because it is so easy, especially when you start getting a team,
“Hey, look, I’m going to check my reports, I’m going to check in with the organization.” It’s okay to do
those things, but you want to make sure that you are leading by example and you’re being very
intentional. So, being intentional. No one ever drifted to a desired location. You don’t ever see someone
at the top of a mountain and they go, “Hey, I accidentally stumbled to the top of the mountain.” It takes
intention and it takes some effort to get to the top of that mountain.

Tip #3: Have Discipline

Number three. One of the top tips, you’ve got to have discipline. When people are like Darin, “I need
you to motivate me on a daily basis.” The only type of motivation that lasts is internal. I can inspire you,
but if it’s going to last, the only person that can make sure that happens is you. In the beginning, all it is
is pure discipline. You’re never going to feel like doing the things you need to do to build your business.
Very rarely do you just wake up and go, “I just feel so motivated,” unless you’re different than me and
most of the people that I work with, right?

Most of the time you’re not going to feel like. It is pure work ethic, it is pure discipline, and the secret is
motion creates emotion. Like Emerson said, do the thing, have the power. He didn’t say, wait, sit back
and just wait. Wait for the power to come to you, then you go do it. That’s not the way it works. Motion
creates emotion. When you make sure that you’re disciplined going, “Okay, I’m at work 30 minutes
early. I don’t feel like it, I’d like to take a nap.” Like this mom. “Hey, look, it’s 5:30 in the morning, I’m
exhausted. I’ve got two little kids, I had to get them prepared, I had to get them to the babysitter, now
I’ve got to go work my job.” But her why, her reason, her motivation, the motive for her actions was
strong enough to go, “Look, it’s not about how I feel, I’m going to go do it anyway.” So, that’s number
three is having discipline. Motivation will come, you will create the habits.

Tip #4: Focus On The Basics

Number four, focus on the basics. What’s the difference between an amateur and a pro in really any
business? Pros do the basics better. Pros do the basics better. Amateurs get bored with basics. They’re
like, “Hey, I’ve heard this stuff before.” It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve heard it, are we
continuing to do the basics knowing that the basics compound, knowing that if you continue to do the
basics, your team catches on?

If 80% of your production comes from new people and you’re constantly reinventing the wheel, then
what’s going to happen is you’re never going to create duplication. You’re never going to create that
rhythm and that culture in your organization that works with or without you. So, one of the top tips is
stop over-complicating things, focus on the basics. At the end, I want to know your favorite tip. I’ll recap,
but I want to know what was your favorite tip.

Tip #5: Create Daily Positive Habits and Rituals

Last but not least, number five, create daily positive habits and rituals. At first we create our habits, that
our habits create us, okay? At first we create our habits, that our habits create us. So, what are some of
the things? This is not just about business, because guess what? Your health affects your energy, that’s
going to affect how you build your business. Your business and your health, they’re going to affect your
family life. So, it’s about having a balanced life.

So, what are some of the habits and rituals that I do on a daily basis? I’ll just give you a few, right?
Getting up in the morning and meditating and praying, drinking 20 ounces of water on an empty
stomach, right? There’s a lot of science behind that. Listening to educational, inspirational, motivational
information first thing in the morning. I have this whole little ritual that I’ve created. I do the same thing
at night. So, whether it’s prayer, meditation.

Another thing that I do on a daily basis, I try to move my body. Yesterday, crazy busy day. Family things
going on, very stressful, but I still made time to go by, warmup, and then I did a workout that was only
12 minutes. It took me 12 minutes and 30 some seconds. It was a hard one, right? It was 1,000 meters
on the ERG. We call it a ERG, ERG bike, and then I did 33 dumbbell snatches, and then I did 1,000 on the
bike, and I did 22 and 1,000 on the bike. I did 11 and 1,000 on the bike. I think that was it.

So it took me 12 minutes and 30 seconds, but it was intense, and afterwards it felt so good. Those
natural endorphins. I was sweating, I looked like I jumped in the pool, but I’m like, “Man, if I can move
my body on a daily basis, even if some days it’s 30, 45 minutes, some days it’s 12 minutes,” but I moved
my body, right? I knew I was going to sleep better, I knew it was going to relieve stress. Every single day.
So, can you move your body? Can you go for a walk outside and not only move your body, but another
daily habit and a ritual is gratitude.

This morning before I was even consciously awake, because I’ve continued to do this every single day, I
was thanking God for my blessings as my eyes opened, right? “Thank you God for another day. I know
you’re not finished with me yet if I woke up,” right? So when you create a daily habit and a ritual of
gratitude, gratitude is one of the healthiest emotions you can possibly have, if not the healthiest. So
then personal growth, you have a daily habit for personal growth. I’ve told you a little bit of mine. Get
sleep, okay? That’s another daily habit and ritual.

I used to think, “I don’t need to sleep, I’ll sleep when I’m dead. Sleep is for wimps.” Not the case, right?
Your body needs sleep, your immune system needs sleep. It should be a priority. So, I’ve created daily
habits and rituals where I try to at least get seven hours of sleep. For me, my body needs at least seven
hours, I’m not ashamed to admit it. I go hard during the day and I want to make sure that I take care of
my body, we only get one of them. Drink water. So, those are a few things. So again, it’s creating daily
positive habits and rituals. At first we create them, then they create us.

Now all five of these things that I just went over, let me know which one is your favorite of the five, and
let me know maybe which one you’re going to start working on to get a little bit better at. That’s every
day. Some days we’re going to fall off the wagon. There are days I miss working out. When I was tracking
how much water I had today, I’m like, “Oh my gosh, I’m way behind.” We’re all going to fall off the
wagon, it’s a matter of getting back on the wagon a little bit quicker each time. That awareness leads to
growth, that awareness leads to change.

Conclusion
So number one, again, five top tips for building a network marketing business and improving your life.
Let’s just face it, these things improve your relationships, your life, your health. That’s the beauty of the
space we’re in, is that it can make you a better version of you in everything that you do. So number one,
having your why and your goals written down. Number two, being intentional. I just love when John
Maxwell said, “No one ever drifted to a desired location.” If you’re drifting, you’re going downhill. That’s
not the way we want to go.

Number three was having discipline. Doing it when we don’t feel like it. Number four was focusing on
the basics. Basics create a successful business in network marketing, fancy doesn’t duplicate. Number
five, having daily positive habits and rituals that we create and then they create us. Here’s a bonus tip,
okay? Never quit, right? If you want to have a successful business, you never quit. Failure is a great
teacher, right? Failure is the fertilizer for your business. Failure and success are not separate, they’re
together. So if you never quit, it is impossible to fail.

So let me know, let’s see, which one was your favorite, because that’s the five tips and that’s the
training. I appreciate all the love, the smashing the heart button. I appreciate you tagging people in the
comments. If you’re on YouTube, man, you haven’t seen anything yet, we’re getting ready to revamp a
lot of things. Then make sure you download darinkidd.com/3laws.

Once again, for those that just joined late, that’s a workbook that we updated. I’ve even got the why
worksheet, where you could do a dream building workshop with your organization, even virtually. They
can each download it, and you could go through that together. But very good basic information that
helps people start to get that dream machine turned on and that clarity, giving them focus and that
focus gives them energy and fuel.

If youre looking for tips to speed up growth in your network marketing business, click here.

So I appreciate everybody jumping on, and as always, I appreciate your support when it comes to the
different channels and the trainings. We have got so much more coming your way, I’m cheering for you.
Have an awesome rest of your day and we’ll see you soon. Take care.

Whether it is extra income you seek or a chance to see how far you can fly as an entrepreneur,
becoming an independent distributor for a multi-level marketing (MLM) company is a viable option.
MLMs, often referred to as network marketing or direct sales, provide a proven product, marketing plan,
mentorship, and training and support. It's a business in a box that supplies everything you need to get
started ASAP.

MLM success; however, isn't automatic or necessarily easy. One mistake many new network marketers
make is in not treating their new venture as the business it is. Just because MLM businesses come pre-
made with a product or service, a plan, and support, doesn't mean it will run itself.

Here are some important resources for you to check out regarding networking marketing, including
common myths and mistakes, tips for success, how to avoid scams, and more.

Network Marketing Myths and Truths
Social Networking

Many people avoid MLM based misinformation. Legitimate MLMs are not illegal pyramid schemes and
don't require you to "use" or hassle people. Anyone can be a success no matter where they are in the
network and saturation is impossible.

While there are some issues in network marketing, before ruling it out as a home business option, make
sure you're not letting one of these myths cloud your judgment.

The Realities of MLM Success

One big problem of MLM is how it's surrounded by so much hype. While companies try to temper their
reps' enthusiasm, too often the programs are promoted in a way that suggests you make big money fast
with little effort.

The reality of MLM is that big money is rare. That's not to say that it's not a viable way to make money
from home, but it's not automatic nor easy. With solid advice and elbow grease, you can beat the odds
and achieve success.

Signs it is an MLM Scam

The MLM industry, like most other industries involving money, has its share of scams and schemes.
Some make their money by forcing reps to have an inventory (a practice the FTC has worked to put the
kibosh on).

Others are outright illegal pyramid schemes, that focus on recruitment, not product (pyramid schemes
are seen in financial products, as well).

In order to avoid getting sucked into a less-than-legit sales opportunity, consider these signs it may be a
scam.

Success in an MLM business starts by choosing the right product and company and then treating your
business as a business. Like any other business, it requires work to find customers and make sales, as
well as building a team of home business owners.

MLM businesses have one of the highest failure rates in the small business industry. To help give you a
leg up on profitability and longevity, consider these ten helpful MLM success tips.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of direct sales companies to choose from. It's always best to
choose a company that has a product or service you enjoy, and a marketing plan you can implement.
But if you'd like to see a handful of potential companies you can join, here is a list of 40+.

If you're interested in a company that's not on this list, or you want a list of more companies, search the

Myth 1: Impossible to get rich through network Marketing
Personally, this myth is true and false for every kind of business and this is the thing I have felt even
when I started writing. You have no supernatural powers to know if any business can earn exactly how
much. So everyone gets this feeling that getting rich is not impossible but through such kinds of new
mechanisms like network marketing, it becomes difficult to accept.

Myth 2: Network Marketing is not a sure shot success

Well while reading this myth I just thought why not? How can people even think like that? By looking at
large scale network marketing businesses this myth sounds untrue. Especially in India if you give
something of value, customers come asking for it. That is the power of true service. Let me tell you that
nothing is a sure shot success in this world, you have a 1% chance to fail at anything. But this doesn’t
stop us from trying.

Myth 3: Eventually Network Marketing comes to a shutdown point

Here anyone could be busted I bet all those criticizers of network marketing are gone all wrong here. A
business that basically works on making new members each day and literally works on networks can
never go out of demand. If you don’t agree then think about it; do all your networks will cut you off on
the same day? That doesn’t happen, it is the biggest myth ever.

Myth 4: It is just an illegal Pyramid chain

First of all, do you know what a pyramid chain is? The hierarchy on which a network marketing works is
a form of a pyramid. Even the government organization is a pyramid so would that be illegal? I don’t
think so. This form of a business may not be acceptable by some but given proper recognition by the
law. So anyone can oppress it by spreading myths in society.

Myth 5: Marketers are using their network

Who doesn’t? At some point in every business, our networks help. The myth is taken in a much negative
way but it works positively in each business. If you don’t agree then why do you call all your networks at
the inauguration party of your business? It is because every business starts with their networks and
eventually expands it on the way to success. I am really happy to bust these myths that are actually
prevalent in society.

Myth 6: Network Marketers are tricking their clients

Starting a business calls for good reasoning and purpose on which your services are based. The purpose
of the organization defines who you are. Ultimately an organization fulfills the need of society and hence
it can not be called tricking the clients. While any illegal method is used then every business comes
under the charges of law. But if you say using good marketing strategies is a way to trick clients then I
am sorry because the myth is busted.

Myth 7: It is not an opportunity for all but just for top management
Whenever you come to know about network marketing business the first reaction is just what we are
discussing here. It goes like this, “what will I earn, the entire money is earned by the owners”. Did you
think that owner has come for loss and your profit? Not at all, we all are here for profit. Your earning is
totally dependent on how much sales you create. But yeah! There is a charge for the services you take
from top management.

Myth 8: It is a group of people forcing others

During the initial stages of group learnings and various discussions, you will think that this business is
too good to be true and I am just forced to be here. Why? Because you will be persuaded and motivated
to do more. The marketing strategy to attract more clients is already followed by almost every business
then why not here?

It is the way of looking at things differently. You got to understand the business world demands your
keen eye towards the small gaps. If you don’t think out of the box you are out of the box. Don’t let these
myths stop you from achieving your potential.

How To Start Network Marketing: Learn & Earn

Identify the Business Model
Don’t be shocked while reading the first step as earn when you are learning about how to start a
network marketing business. This strategy is followed by a few and usually kept secret, but it is time to
reveal the hard and fast methods. You, me, or anyone else none is a master at it but we need to start
from somewhere. So here is something where you can learn and earn.

The direct joining in the large scale network marketing business is the best way to learn from the core.
First of all, understand the process to join the best of network marketing business world.

Modicare: ever heard of it? If not click on the name now and you can join there network marketing
chain. It is really easy and you will get to learn from the experienced sellers.
Oriflame: the biggest haul of India that provided jobs to various women. I myself use Oriflame products
that last for really long but being in the organization is kind of great.
Vestige: I found this network marketing business while searching for discounted products. It provides
great training and even online classes. Yes, you need this opportunity so why wait to grab it.
DXN India: Indian based firms are the best to learn about Indian customers. DXN gives you a great
experience to know about food culture and various food facts that are hidden. So if you are into the
food industry, this is your biggest shot.
There are tons of other businesses that you can directly join but I want you to know how these are
helpful. Sometimes we are doing above mentioned jobs but we don’t seriously learn the core concepts.
So here are some things to take care of.

The biggest rule that you should never forget is you are not working for money but for a good exposure.
You must know when to stop and take the next step. There is no good time to start but analyzing the
best time to move to the next stage is an art.
Expand your horizons, you are planning not just for a network marketing job. You are going to be an
entrepreneur so think like one. Learn about top management.
Don’t stick to one job, explore multiple jobs. Why? It helps to identify which market segment suits you.
Don’t worry, if you can’t explore each sector you have better ideas mentioned below.
Grow your roots, yes you may find your customer even at your workplace. No, you are not stealing
customers but just giving them better services.
Identify the Business Model
Did you think that network marketing was an easy chain that could be started anywhere? If not, you
must know the full-grown strategies so as to avoid major setbacks. And let me assure you that the major
setbacks are the outcomes of minor mistakes. So here are the true business models of network
marketing that are explained in simple terms.

Multi-Level Marketing or MLM: It is the biggest chain that you can form through network marketing with
huge numbers of underlying teams. This kind of business needs to come up with an incentive plan that
works for a different level of sellers.
Two-tier network marketing: the limited number of sellers can be hired. It is found in small scale
businesses. You will be required to get direct sales to your clients or get volume boosted on the website.
Single tier network marketing: it is a kind of job where you directly sign up to sell products of a
company. It has nothing to do with any distributors who work under you. You can even call it an affiliate
marketing program.
How to choose a network marketing business model?

For starters fixate your goal on which your company will want to work in the future. Ascertain the
demand of the industry and know the number of funds.
Select a business structure suitable available from a partnership firm, sole proprietorship, corporate
company, or a HUF.
Now, what will be the size of your company? Small scale, medium scale, or large scale.
If you figure each of the points mentioned above then you will get an obvious answer.
Attract Market Niche
The network marketing industry is certainly larger than you thought of. It has numerous products and
services with different variations. Knowing different sectors enables a closer look at their business. Let
us quickly know about the main sectors of network marketing.

Personal Care: The cosmetics industry is booming since the birth of beauty and will exist to the end of
time. The overflowing demand has not even left the network marketing industry. Even the best example
of Oriflame is mentioned above to start with. Here you must check the huge variety of products that are
never-ending.
Healthcare: The necessities of life will be found in every aspect of the business world rather than a
luxury. Healthcare products are largely demanded in India and network marketing is its good source.
Well, the good news is you don’t have a huge number of variations in the products so have a smooth
start.
Household Goods: yes, housewives demand a good collection of household products. This demand for
new styles has found household network marketing in existence. Tupperware has maintained a good
market share so as to be mentioned here.
IT Services: The reach of the internet is known to all and network marketing has given a source of
income to millions in the world through IT Services. A web hosting company is a popular form of the
network marketing company that is found in India.
E-Commerce Companies: what will you call Flipkart and myntra? Are they doing direct sales from their
manufacturing factories? Certainly not, these are the distributors of various manufacturers. It is known
as single-tier network marketing that is already booming now.
Various other market segments of the network marketing industry are yet undiscovered. If you have one
of those eyes to identify the gaps of society then you can tap on to the innovative segment of network
marketing. Also, the growing returns of network marketing are already looking towards new discoveries.
Top Management Requirements
Top Management Requirements
If you are serious about knowing how to start a network marketing business then start taking your
decisions wisely. There is a thin line between an expert and an overconfident guide. Here are the points
that will keep you in check at every step.

Create some specific positions for your company, you may know about some already such as an
accountant, a legal advisor, designated marketer, and some others.
Top-level management requires major experience in the network marketing industry and it should never
be compromised. At least 3-5 years of experience is compulsory.
Know about their goals for your company, the common question asked is where do you see yourself
within 5 years? If they are wanting to be with your company then it is a good start.
Get a complete background check, some of the experienced network marketers get easily inclined
towards money. It is a big no for them in your company.
Check the personality and characteristics by engaging them in group exercises and challenges. Also, it
will help you to know about their contribution to the company.
A good level of education is necessary for being in a network marketing company’s top management.
They should have a proper understanding of the market, especially your market.
Recruitment
Hiring top management was just a start that doesn’t end, now you require employees who do the
groundwork for the company. It is possible only with the help of experienced top management. The
main positions to be hired are;

Network Marketers
Advertising planners
Distributors
Product promoters
Manual workers
What makes the hiring process worthwhile? It is knowing what you are looking for in an employee? But
what is the most important part of the recruitment process is that you are not looking for an employee.
Confused? Let us learn below;

Hiring a network marketer calls for good marketing skills but is that it? Not at all, what if they are not
liked by your clients? You don’t want an exaggerating marketer. So yes there should be potential but no
need to overdo it.
Match your goals and employees’ goals, do they fit in there? If not let them know. You may find a good
position for those employees who has extra skills. Some individuals are good at motivating hence they
are really helpful on your team.
Learn about the spirit of employees, do they find happiness in what they do? Is it just a matter of
money? Do they really use what they sell? These things place them in a different column of employees.
If they tick right on these qualities then they should be hired.
A learning spirit in every employee is the most demandable aspect that can not be missed in a network
marketing company. Network marketers are continuously coached until they reach a point. Quick
learners are of great value here.
Where to find employees who match these skills?
Online websites: post a job at various online websites available just for you. Even free websites are
available to take advantage of. You will find various employees who are ready to learn.
YouTube: create a video for your company and post it on YouTube. The abundant following of YouTube
by millions of youngsters is a good way to reach out. While it is important to create an engaging video.
Networks: Being in the network marketing industry calls for good networks. Ask your networks to find
good employees and that will be easy enough if you just give them enough details of the job.
Emailing: your website will find a way to the email list and this will be the best road to good employees.
Don’t forget that employees are the foundation of network marketing so ensure these tips.
Training Period
The huge share of earning sources also goes to training courses available for network marketers. You
may provide free training to your employees but the same is chargeable to anyone who doesn’t join four
companies. Even some network marketing companies charge their employees to get online training.

How to design the training course? Learn some important aspects.

Designing a training course starts with knowing about the time period of training. It depends on how
early you need an employee to start work. Even the first day an employee can start working with their
continuous training.
The next stage is dividing the training program into multiple levels so that the difficult part can be taught
after learning the basics. It will require proper strategies to recognize each area of training.
Hiring online tutors or recording online lectures in one go to provide an online training course. It will
demand investment in good teachers and technology so that recordings don’t get damaged over time.
Pricing each module of the training program and limiting its time period to learn. Different programs can
be charged differently according to their weightage.
Online distribution channels are to be organized for different kinds of software. These should be
compatible with any kind of browser and smartphone. You will require professionals to help while
designing an online course.
Also, your course should have copyright so as not to get copied by others. Or don’t give these courses on
different channels. A limited website can be maintained to learn these courses.
Compensation Plan
Compensation Plan
The most important thing to know about how to start a network marketing business is creating a
satisfying compensation plan. While choosing a compensation plan you have two options;

Create a customized compensation plan

Buy a compensation plan
Here are the various compensation plans suitable for a different kind of business;
Board plan: It is also known as the revolving Matrix plan. It is the most trending plan which you can
choose. Here, each time a marketing chain splits in two. It is one of the most systematic forms of
compensation. It means every new marketer will create at least two other networks.
Unilevel Plan: Uni means one so one marketer can form any number of networks and there are no limits.
It is the easiest form of the compensation plan. It is difficult to maintain the records in this kind of
compensation plan.
Hybrid plan: if you are interested in more than one plan and both if they suit your organization then
create a hybrid plan of these two. You can mix and match but don’t forget to test these plans.
Binary plan: it is a systematic plan based on mathematics. Here you have 2 multiplied by n. Where n is
infinity, it suggests any number of networks. Here the distributors are known as business centers.
Matrix plan: where a fixed number of networks can be formed and in a very systematic manner then it is
a matrix plan. This is generally called a forced compensation plan. Width and depth are multiplied to
create a specific number.
Stairstep plan: large scale companies require this kind of rigorous approach to create a compensation
plan. The volume of product and sales determines the structure of the compensation plan. While an
unlimited number of networks can be created through this approach.
Software Systems
Every organization works on a modern approach that helps to reach up to the level of its competitors.
Network marketing business is a cut-throat business where technology is placed in the utmost position.
It can make or break your situation. Here are some important technical aspects to be looked at.

Marketing software: these are the tools that help the company to market the products easily without
applying high cost on employees and training. The software will do the work of website management,
Social sharing, email marketing, and much more.
Automation software: a hybrid software that is customized for the type of network marketing business.
You can buy it at your convenience. It will help to work on every aspect of the business from accounting
to marketing.
Customer relationship software: maintaining customer relations is the major of the network marketing
business. Recording the data of customers and using it effectively is the basic use of this software.
Sale software: The management of sales and the formation of new customers is recorded under this
software. It basically helps in accounting by keeping records of sales.
Order management software: purchasing is the short term for order management. A huge part of
network management is handled by this software. It is a necessary component of the network marketing
business.
You can easily buy software online by visiting here. It is important to choose software for your business
according to the need. It basically depends on the number of networks and sales. The variety of
products comes into the picture after considering the other two requirements.

Legal Plans
Network marketing comes under those businesses where you will get the least guidance about the laws
applicable. But this is not the case here. I am going to solve the most found legal query about network
marketing business.
The network marketing industry is governed by The Prize Chits And Money Circulation Schemes
(Banning) Act, 1978.
Gst registration: every network marketing must get a GST number to complete the liability of taxes
payable to the government of India.
Income tax: the person or the owner should follow the income tax ruler by applying for a pan card. The
pan card is a must rule to be followed.
A bank account is required to be under one nationalized bank. At least one. This account will be used for
official purposes.
Memorandum of Association should state the purpose and nature of business. It should be clear and the
same as followed by the company.
Sales incentives or the compensation plan should be mentioned by the company. These plans should be
clearly illustrated to the employees in their agreement oral or written.
The address of the company should be mentioned on the website and other official papers. The
presence of the name of the business is a crucial part of the rules of the government of India. It also
enhances the presence of the brand.
A grievance portal should be available for the customers. it is important to be in the network marketing
industry. The portal can be given on the website or a contact number.
Do’s and Don’ts of Network Marketing
Starting with do’s of network marketing
Find a product that you love; why? You can’t sell what you yourself don’t appreciate. As a matter of fact,
it is impossible to sell it. You need to find out that thing which is a need and your love. It is a kind of
meeting point with these two requirements.
Quality is the major focus that is generally ignored by network marketing companies. They often get
regular clients and the quality gets out of the picture. Without even realizing the shutdown point comes
and then they start by blaming as we mentioned the myths above.
Being ethical is the first need for a network marketing company that can get you ahead of the
competition drastically. Some of the small network marketing businesses are not following the ethical
requirements but those who do are looking at a great future.
The Target market is your whole market. Even if you start to step out of your targeted market, it will
require major thinking. Hence cover your targeted market in initial stages.
Let us learn about Don’ts of network marketing
Don’t over recruit, it means there is no need to recruit a large number of employees. Even the limited
group can build enough networks if given proper resources provided they have good skills.
Don’t force your friends and family, generally, you waste your time on those who are not interested. The
basic rule of business asks you to identify potential buyers and convince them. If you are just practicing
then it is fine.
Don’t stress out too much on the negative things, network marketing is the game of mind. You must
conquer your brain first in order to win others. Once you yourself are satisfied then you can fulfill others’
needs.

Network marketing is a business model that relies on a network of distributors to grow a business. There
are many types of network marketing, but one of the most well-known types is called multi-level
marketing.

Key Takeaways
Network marketing is a business model that relies on a network of independent distributors to sell a
product.
Multi-level marketing is a type of network marketing where the salespeople also earn money by
recruiting more salespeople.
To earn money with network marketing, you must commit time, money, and effort—possibly more than
you'd expect.
What Is Network Marketing?
Network marketing relies on individual distributors who market and sell a product to their network of
friends, relatives, and people they know or meet. The distributors make money through commissions on
the products they sell. Often, they're not employees of the company, but rather independent
contractors.

Distributors in network marketing businesses typically use three strategies to succeed: lead generation,
recruiting, and building and management.

Lead generation is the process of locating new customers and clients who may be interested in the
product. Recruiting is the process of adding customers and business partners to your network. And
building and management are the way you train, motivate, and manage your recruits.
Multi-Level Marketing
In some businesses, the distributors are also paid a commission for recruiting more distributors to sell
the product. The more people they recruit, the more money they can make.

The result is multiple tiers, or levels, of salespeople: the top, original tier (called "the upline"), and then
one or more tiers below them ("the downline"). Each new recruit might then also recruit additional
distributors, which would form that level's downline. This type of network marketing is called multi-level
marketing (MLM).

Some MLM programs allow you to make money five or more tiers deep. The top-level tiers make the
most money, because they receive commissions from all the tiers below them. It is difficult for the
newest recruits to make money.1

Examples of MLM businesses include LuLaRoe, Magnetic Sponsoring, and Amway.

Does Network Marketing Pay Well?
Network marketing does not pay equally well for everyone. The amount you earn depends on the
volume of sales you can generate on your own and, in the case of MLM companies, the success of your
downline as well.

Note
A study published by the Consumer Awareness Institute noted that most of the commissions paid by
MLM companies go to a tiny portion of distributors, with 99% of recruits actually losing money on their
efforts.2

There are several reasons why it can be tough to make money with multi-level marketing.

First, the company may require you to buy its products, pay for training, or keep a certain amount of
inventory on hand. These costs often come before you can make your first sale, so you start out behind.

Then, the exciting bonuses or prizes the company offers are often only available to sellers who "pay to
play," by making incentivized purchases of a certain dollar amount. This inventory then has to be sold as
well if the salesperson is to make a profit. Sometimes these purchases are required if the seller wishes
to advance, and reselling is tough because the seller needs to mark the product above retail to recoup
their costs.

Finally, there are often operating expenses, such as computers, phones, internet access, and "training
tools" required by the company. These costs further erode the possibility of profit, requiring the seller to
meet such rigorous sales or recruiting goals that it's nearly impossible to get ahead.3
Not everyone who wants to sell something will be good at it. However, sincerity and genuine
enthusiasm about a company or product is a form of marketing in and of itself. If the only incentive to
the sales team is money, they may cut corners or mislead others in an attempt to earn more for
themselves. For network marketing to be successful, the salespeople must be sincerely enthusiastic
about the product as well.
Note
Take the time to research your state's laws regarding network marketing. Deceptive marketing practices
and pyramid schemes can land you in legal trouble if you are not careful.4

Multi-Level Marketing vs. Network Marketing

Multi-level marketing is a form of network marketing with several levels of distributors. A large part of a
multi-level marketer's success will come from recruiting.

But there are two other, simpler modes of network marketing as well: single-tier network marketing and
two-tier network marketing.

Single-Tier Network Marketing

With single-tier network marketing, you sign up for a company's affiliate program to sell their products
or services. You do not need to recruit other distributors, and all your pay comes from direct sales. Avon,
the popular beauty company, uses single-tier network marketing.5

In some online affiliate programs, you get paid for the traffic you drive to the affiliate's website. Pay-per-
click (PPC) and pay-per-lead (PPL) affiliate programs are other examples of single-tier networking.
Two-Tier Network Marketing
Unlike single-tier network marketing, two-tier network marketing does involve some recruiting, but your
pay isn't solely dependent on it. You get paid for direct sales (or traffic you drive to a website) and for
direct sales or referred traffic made by affiliates or distributors you recruit to work under you. An
example of a two-tier program is Ken Envoy's Site Sell.6
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can you make money with network marketing?
Yes, it's possible to make money with network marketing. However, it's not easy. To be successful
typically requires a serious application of effort, time, and money. Casual salespeople will quickly find
themselves losing money.4

Is network marketing risky?

Yes, there are risks that go with network marketing. You risk the money it takes for startup costs,
inventory purchases, and training materials. You'll also spend time and money filling out paperwork,
filling and shipping orders, and recruiting new salespeople. To make your money back, you'll need to sell
a lot of product. And to continue to make a profit, you'll need to continue selling more (and sometimes
recruiting new salespeople for your downline). Consider whether your network truly has enough buyers
to support your business's needs, and research the network marketing company thoroughly before you
get involved.4

experience of 5 years, how I spent my time in direct selling for a long time and understood the depths of
this business. By the time I was engaged in this business, I used to hide its reality and power.

I still remember the day when my upline was guiding me in the beginning of this business, they told me
that today many people have become successful with this business and are fulfilling their dreams. After
seeing and understanding all these things, enthusiasm arose in me as well and I also started doing
business from the heart and I also got its parental results from today.

What is network marketing?
Network marketing is a common tactic for companies that involves selling products to individuals within
salespeople's personal network, including friends and family. People who use network marketing focus
on person-to-person sales, rather than selling to business clients. Most often, companies that use
network marketing employ independent representatives who work from home. Network marketing
relies on connections between representatives who work together to generate new leads, close sales
and source others who may want to become independent representatives for the company.

It's important for companies to ensure that each representative places more of a focus on sales as
opposed to recruiting more representatives. People often make a small investment by buying company
products to then sell to their clients. This type of work often requires dedication, self-motivation and
strong sales skills. Professionals may also refer to network marketing as multi-level marketing or affiliate
marketing.

17 tips for network marketing success
If you're interested in becoming an independent representative for a company, it's important to prepare
for the role. Since you are responsible for generating your own income by selling products, there are a
few specific strategies that may improve your profitability. Here are 17 tips for network marketing
success:

1. Take selling seriously

When you begin network marketing, it's important to take the work seriously. Since you've invested in
products, it's best to start your business by investing time, effort and genuine care into your marketing
efforts. Taking yourself and the products seriously may improve your ability to sell to others. Network
marketing requires personal motivation to connect with potential clients and sell the product, so taking
the job seriously can keep you motivated.

2. Treat your connections with respect

While many network marketing professionals begin by reaching out to close friends and family
members, it's important to treat everyone with respect. This can help you maintain your relationships
with your friends and family as an independent representative. Instead of treating your connections like
prospective clients, consider explaining your new business venture to them before discussing the
product with them.

3. Find a mentor
Most companies that use network marketing already have a system in place with many participants, so
you can choose a mentor. When you become a representative, consider asking an experienced network
marketing professional if they could mentor you. You can learn what strategies work for them, how to
best pitch the product and how the company operates. Learning from someone with more experience in
the field is a great way to develop professionally.

4. Utilize social media

One of the most common methods used by network marketers is social media marketing. Each social
media platform has many different tools you can use to promote your business. For example, you might
post regular videos of yourself explaining each product you sell. You can describe why you like the
product, what you use it for and the price of the item. Then, if people want to learn more, they can
message you directly on the social media platform. You can expand your audience and increase profit by
utilizing social media.

5. Change your mindset

When you begin a new business venture, it can be challenging to start. It's important to consider your
mindset before you begin. For example, a growth mindset can help professionals think about ways to
develop their business. This is a healthy mindset that can motivate independent representatives to work
hard each day.

6. Be consistent
Network marketing requires people to be consistent. If you want to generate a profit in this field, it's
best to consistently reach out to potential clients. Consistency shows potential clients that you still use
the product, that your business is still available and that they can participate when they feel ready. You
can be consistent by following up with interested parties, posting regularly on social media or offering
deals to recurring clients.

7. Use digital marketing strategies

Another tip is to use digital marketing strategies to your advantage. You might pay for an ad on a friend's
blog to increase your audience. Another digital marketing strategy is email lists, which you can use to
reach all your clients at once. You can use email lists to send newsletters, discuss upcoming sales or
explain how a new product works.

8. Conduct extensive research

Before you begin selling products, it's important to conduct extensive research. Having knowledge about
the products can make you a better salesperson. As you interact with potential clients, they might have
several questions about the product. If you've done the research, you can provide answers in a timely
manner which demonstrates your commitment to the job.

9. Be authentic
Since network marketing requires interacting with your pre-existing network of connections, it's
important to be authentic. Remaining authentic can help your friends and acquaintances feel more
comfortable discussing a product with you. By incorporating authenticity into your business, you can
also implement unique elements into your marketing strategies that show your personality.

10. Prepare to sponsor others

Many network marketing companies ask representatives to train and develop incoming representatives.
You might find people who want to participate in your company. If this is the case, you can begin to
sponsor their business. You might provide guidance about marketing strategies or teach them about the
products the company sells.

11. Choose a company you care about

When you choose a company to sell products for, it's best to choose one that you care about. For
example, if you want to sell skincare products, consider choosing a company that produces high-quality,
safely tested products that you enjoy using. Caring about the product can increase the authenticity of
your business by showing clients that you have a passion for your work.
12. Use the products
Using the products that you sell is another helpful tip. When you use the products, you can develop
more robust selling points to include in a client pitch. Using the products can help you better understand
which product is best for each client's needs, which could improve your sales.

13. Ask other representatives for marketing tactics

Since network marketing companies have many independent representatives, consider asking others for
ideas about marketing tactics. Since each person in the company sells to a unique crowd, they might
have new ideas that you can test on your target audience. This can increase workplace collaboration and
help you boost your sales.

14. Develop a support team

Another tip for people with an interest in network marketing is to develop a support team. A support
team can consist of people inside and outside the business that support your work. This may include a
mentor, your family members or a close friend. Your support team might offer assistance with shipping
orders, share the link to your website with their friends or simply provide encouragement.

15. Understand your target audience

As you begin selling a product, you might market to a wide audience to see who purchases your
products. After a while, it might be more helpful to choose a target audience based on your previous
sales. For example, you might notice that older women are your biggest client demographic. You can use
this data to tailor your marketing strategies to this specific audience.

16. Listen to potential clients

As you reach out to potential clients, try spending time listening to their needs. For example, imagine
you sell hair products and you're speaking to a client who wants to add volume to their hair. Rather than
recommending a shampoo that's best for oily hair, you might offer them a volume-increasing
conditioner instead. By listening to clients, you can better understand what type of product they might
need.

17. Understand your company's structure

Before you agree to sell products for a company, it's important to understand the structure of the
company. Try to choose one that focuses more on the product rather than on recruiting new
representatives. Additionally, try to find a company that has a long-standing, positive reputation.
Conducting research before you start can protect you, your investment and your future business.

19 Tips On How To Build a Network Marketing Business Quickly
August 15, 2020

How I make $52K per month

Looking to build your network marketing business at light speed?

Well, we took the time to create the absolute best list of tips that will help supercharge the growth of
your network marketing business faster than you can say Punch it, Chewie....

How do we know our list is the best? Because we’ve read what else the internet serves up for you on
this topic. And it sucks.

Below we're gonna give you the most helpful and actionable tips to growing your MLM business fast.

Whether you are new to network marketing or just trying to infuse some serious growth (and money)
into your mlm business, we've got what you need.

Let’s jump into the list right now:

1. Listen To Your Mentor/Up Line

You wanna build your business fast, right? Then the last thing you should do is go rogue trying to figure
it out on your own.

Find a successful up line individual or mentor in your company and LISTEN!

They will have likely mastered important techniques such as duplication, presenting, and closing new
reps for your team.
Even if what they say you should do sounds uncomfortable or unappealing, do it anyway. Trust their
process and the fact that they wouldn’t want to steer you wrong because they benefit from your success
as well.

Not only will you be putting effort into tried and true methods, but you’ll also be learning from their past
mistakes and how you can avoid them in your own business.

2. Identify Any Company Fast Start/Monthly Bonuses

Network marketing companies understand that incentivizing reps to quickly build their businesses via
customers and new recruits benefits everyone.

The company is able to generate more revenue, your up line gets benefit from your success, and of
course you are the main recipient of growing your own business.

To help motivate growth, most companies offer fast start bonuses for new reps as well as reoccurring
monthly bonus opportunities for everyone, usually tied to selling a certain volume of products or hitting
a new rank.

Whether you are new to your company or just looking for a way to revitalize your existing team, you
should take the time to understand what additional bonuses and incentives are up for grabs.

Sometimes these bonuses can get into the thousands and provide a great way to spark fast growth in
your business!

3. Commit a Set Amount of Time

Nothing will provide you with a strong frame work for quick success in your mlm business like setting a
specific amount of time to work on it every day.

Consistency beats intensity every single time.

What does that mean?

It means that even dedicating 1 or 2 hours every day will impact your business more than doing nothing
all week and then trying to cram 8 hours of growing your business into a Saturday.

Even if it may not seem like it, committing to and keeping a set amount of time you work on growing
your mlm business is a key pillar in developing your organization efficiently.

4. Set Daily Goals

Ok, you’re focused on working on your business daily. What will you actually be doing in that dedicated
time though?

It’s easy to let that time kind of just slip by with “busy work”. Set specific goals of what you’re going to
do in those windows of focused time.

STAY FOCUSED ON RGA (revenue-generating activity)!

Set a target for every day that you want to hit. Some great ideas of what these goals could look like
would be:

Use these examples as ideas to set up your own. Maybe you are capable of setting daily goals much
more aggressive, or perhaps your work and personal life only allows for more conservative goals.

No matter what amount of time and resources at your disposal to pursue these daily goals, set ones that
stretch and challenge you.

5. Think Beyond Friends & Family

You’ll never grow your business quickly if you only ever try to get friends and family to sign up in your
business.

Part of growing your network marketing business quickly is finding your way into new social circles and
connections.

Statistics clearly say that most of the people you start your mlm business with, won’t be there in a year.
Finding new people you didn’t know before is a crucial part to building your business fast.

Stop trying to fish in the same pond. Bring along the friends and family who do want to build the
business with you, then move on.

There are infinite growth opportunities for your business if you’re willing to get out there and network
to meet them!

6. Find New Social Circles

Think about your regular routines and what you can change to consciously run into new people.

New people equals new opportunities to grow your business. Here are some different ways you can do
this:

There are countless ways to find yourself meeting up with new people, you just have to get out there!
Be someone that other people want to be around.

At the end of the day, attraction marketing is unstoppable and that happens when you become the
leader your business needs.

7. Know Your Why

If you’re in network marketing, you need to have a “why”. This is the reason you started your business
and expands beyond simply making more money.

Your why is the deep rooted reason for why you need your business to grow fast.

This is what you wake up for. This is what you work for. When your why is defined, you’re unstoppable.

It doesn’t matter how many “NO’s” you hear. You push onward.

Maybe you’re looking to financially retire a parent, or provide for your family in a way you’ve always
dreamed.

Whatever it is, when you know what your WHY is, it will create a never-ending source of motivation to
grow your business.

8. Know Your Target Audience

Want to build fast? Don’t waste your time talking to people you shouldn’t be.

We realize this contradicts the widely popular “3 foot rule” that exists in MLM. Don’t get sucked into the
“everyone is a prospect” mentality.

Yes, you should always be prospecting, but think about what you’re doing if you want your efforts to pay
off quickly and efficiently.

What kind of individual is most likely to benefit from your company’s product or service?

If you are selling health supplements (good chance you are since health & wellness products make up
about 35% of the MLM industry), you should avoid trying to convince people to live a healthy lifestyle
and buy your products.

You should also consider the kind of demographic that you resemble. If you are a 38 year old
professional male with a family, your message and approach may not resonate with a 34 year old stay at
home mom.

You can, however, curate a pitch for dads who work all the time and don’t get to spend enough time
with their families.
9. Master Social Media
Social media can either help you build your business fast or burn it to the ground even faster.

If you’re looking to build quickly, observe how successful reps in your company use social media.

Don’t turn your profiles into a digital billboard for your business. You must retain your authenticity.

When you talk/post/go live on social media, focus on the way your business is impacting your life and
bettering your family.

People don’t want to hear about how you can help them make $1000 next month. Enough mlm reps are
already on social media pitching their business like that.

Most people are scared that they are just seen by reps as a way to make a quick buck and then they’re
left holding the bag. Reassure them that you want to connect and help them on a 1 on 1 level.

10. Find Your Second Home

Don’t worry, we’re not trying to get you to take out a second mortgage or anything.

But should you find a second home? Yes.

Here’s what we mean….

The “trenches” are where most successful mlm reps built their foundation.

The trenches are where you grind out back to back to back phone calls with prospects.

You follow up with leads. You meet with your team. You might even prospect strangers in-between all of
this.

The second home can be the local Starbucks, Panera, or wherever you set up your “mobile office” to
work.

Not only does this provide you a location free of distractions that you may find at home, but it also
doubles as a suitable location to hold meetings and even smaller presentations.

Aggressive builders will even take the time to scope out other mobile workers and approach these
strangers with a quick pitch!
11. Keep A Full Schedule
The last thing you want to be doing is wasting precious hours on your business inefficiently.

Keep a full schedule of what you should be working on during your devoted business building hours.

Focusing on never wasting time in your schedule ensures that every hour is put to good use.

Every effort is going towards team building and revenue generating activity - all things you want to have
happen for fast growth.

12. SW, SW, SW, SWN?

Confusing title? We’ll clear it up:

It stands for “some will, some won’t, so what, so who’s next?”.

It's a mindset that you should carry in your mlm business.

It means that some will join your business, and some wont. It doesn’t matter whether they do or don’t,
who or what is next on my list to accomplish?

Appreciate when new reps join your organization. Don’t pause or feel down when people tell you no.

Stay moving and focused on the next goal. Don’t get comfortable because that breeds complacency.

13. Eat Sleep & Breathe Your Product

You should definitely have selected your network marketing company based on the fact that their
service or product is something you 100% can stand behind.

That being said, you should have no trouble at all becoming the biggest cheerleader of all for it.

If you are in the health and wellness vertical, take before and after photos if it has impacted your
weight, skin, or overall health. Become a case study of your own product and share the benefits you
have received using it.

Here's a quick example of a great testimonial on social media:

Bonus points for video testimonials!

Nothing tells the story of what you’re offering better than a customer testimonial video.
Never miss an opportunity on social media or in conversation to give props to how awesome your
product/service is.

14. Duplication is Key

Fast network marketing growth is unlocked when you can master duplication. Duplication is more than
just learning how to sign up as many reps as fast as you can.

True duplication happens when your effort and training into the individuals on your team can perform
and grow their own business just as good (or better than) as you.

This should be a major priority for your network marketing business.

This is the heart of why network marketing leaders focus so much on helping develop their team. They
know that if their downline is performing and growing on their own, they will reap those rewards in a
passive manner over time.

It also is simple math at the end of the day. You only have so many hours you can work, and only so
many people you can talk to during those hours.

Duplication is growth with no cap.

15. Pretend You Just Spent $100,000

This might trip people up the most in network marketing. Since your barrier of entry into the business is
significantly lower than launching a traditional business, most reps don't take it very seriously.

This low fee to get started then tends to have an effect where the stakes to “make it work” aren’t really
there.

Avoid this pitfall and hold yourself to a higher standard in order to achieve fast growth.

Pretend that you just took out a $100,000 loan from your local bank to launch your company and that
first payment is due in 45 days.

What would you being doing today, tonight, or tomorrow? With that level of financial responsibility as a
business owner, you bet you’d be working your butt off!

Excuses like “It’s uncomfortable talking to people on the phone” doesn’t fly when the bank wants their
payment.
Look, only you can make the decision to take your business this seriously. They say if you treat it like a
hobby, it’ll pay you like a hobby. So treat it like a business!

16. Automate Any Part of The Business You Can

Automation is really about taking things off your plate that slow you down from moving fast.

What areas of your network marketing business can you become more efficient in and automate?

Here are some ideas….

Find ways to make technology work for you.

Every minute spared by leveraging automated processes is more time you can put into revenue
generating activities!

17. Be Elevator Pitch Ready

Ever been asked at a social event with new people what you do? Did you shy away from talking about
your business because you though it would sound too “pitchy”?

If that is you, fix it IMMEDIATELY.

It doesn’t matter if you need to spend 10 minutes in front of the mirror every night before bed, practice
your elevator pitch.

Personalize the pitch, and learn how to tailor it to who is hearing it. Keep it around 30 seconds long.

Your objective should be piquing someones interest enough from what you just said to want to have a
more detailed conversation about it.

When you get asked what you do and your elevator pitch results in listeners wanting to know more
about it, you know you’ve got an elevator pitch that is ready to go.

18. Plug Into OR Start a Weekend Training

Weekend trainings are the lifeblood to mlm organizations. As you grow your team, connect with local
leaders who are already hosting weekend training events.
If there are none in your area for your team to plug into, create your own. Not only does this
environment create a habit of commitment for your team, it fosters a culture of growth and challenge.

It is also a phenomenal opportunity to bring new prospects to and show them that your business is not
just about money.

It brings together people from all walks of life and builds a community of support for them to succeed in.

Some mlm teams have weekend trainings so big that they rent entire halls to host the hundreds of
attendees. If yours does not have this level of atmosphere, make it a goal!

These kind of massive trainings are contagious environments to be in and will play a huge part in
growing your business quickly.

Pro Tip: Talk to high ranking reps in your up line and ask for them to come present at your weekend
training events. Once one commits to coming, push yourself and your team hard to get the attendance
as high as it can be. The end result will be worth the extra effort to turn it into a big event!

19. Buy Leads

We were somewhat reluctant to put this tip to growing your network marketing business quickly on the
list because it does need to be taken with a grain of salt….

One way you can potentially expedite the growth of your business is with buying leads online for your
network marketing business.

We want to stress that your success can vary wildly by using this method and it shouldn’t be viewed as a
shortcut to the “organic” methods we have listed above.

Nevertheless, companies such as buymlmleads.com do offer the ability to buy leads. You can even filter
them based on certain demographics.

Cost can vary based on the amount of data the lead provides, such as contact number, email, name, and
additional personal data that fit the scope of what you’re looking for.

Keep in mind that while you may be able to take a “shortcut” in buying leads to find new people to talk
to about faster, the QUALITY of these leads will never compare to the warm ones you can create on your
own.

One More Thing....

Why I decided to Quit MLM and What I'm Doing Now Instead
A quick note about why I decided to leave behind trying to build my network marketing business….
If you’re like me, you probably found this list because you know that it’s possible to leverage what’s
inside your head to make a great living.

You also probably already knew some pretty alarming statistics like:

But we made the plunge anyway, didn’t we?

I’m gonna tell you exactly why we both made a decision to bet against the odds….

Because like me, you believed in yourself and what you are capable of.

And also like me….

you probably didn’t have several hundred thousand dollars lying around to open up the next McDonalds
money printing press franchise location in your city.

So we found ourselves stumbling into the world of network marketing all wide eyed and bushy tailed.

Who cares if less than 1% of us make the big money….

It's gotta be me that makes it, right?

So we grind hard. We listen to our up line. We go all in on the roadmap to success.

Maybe you made some decent bonus money and a little residual action like I did. Maybe not.

Inevitably, you found out the same thing I did. RARELY do we find that diamond in the rough who is
willing to go all in like we did.

No matter how many people we begged convinced to join our business, we just couldn’t quite get that
steamrolling momentum to happen that would catapult us to financial freedom.

The hard truth I had to face is at the end of the day, I STILL HAD TO RELY ON OTHER PEOPLE to make
significant money.

ENOUGH.

I wasn’t going to waste another day trying to convince someone to work as hard as I was willing to.

Call it fate or whatever you want, but I course corrected my path to financial freedom.
No autoships, no living room meetings, and no pitching family or friends. In case I’m not being clear, I’m
NOT talking about another MLM.

Stick with me for a second, cause I’m taking you somewhere you want to go…

What I am forever grateful that I found is something that keeps me in high demand and helps me truly
make a passive income.

I’m talking about local lead generation for small businesses.

Confused? i’ll explain it really easily right here:

There are literally COUNTLESS opportunities out there for generating leads for local small businesses. I’ll
show you exactly what I did and how you can too….

Below is a local lead generation site I own that produces customers wanting a quote for tree work. You
know trimming, removal, that kind of stuff either at their home or business. And yes, this ONE site
makes me $2000/mo every month...

And it makes me that because it produces phone calls like this:

What do I do with all these phone calls and leads?

SIMPLE.

I reached out to a local tree trimming company in the area who has never had his website produce a
single lead in his life and offered him 100% of everything my site produced. All phone calls, all quote
request forms, everything.

Guess how much of an issue he has paying me $2000 every month for hundreds of new customer
requests.

You're correct, ZERO issue.

And I've done it several other times in other cities for other business owners, all of them still paying me
to this day. The beauty of this is you can do it in practically any service based industry...industries like:

Landscaping

Pressure Washing

Construction/Remodeling
Party Bus/Limos

Carpet Cleaning

Fencing

Roofing

And literally 100s more....

You might be thinking, "Creative way to make money, sure, but I don't know the first thing about
websites or using Google like that.".

Once again, you would be just like I was a few years ago. I knew nothing about that stuff. Still don't know
a ton to be honest...

Let me tell you though, that it didn't matter.

I found my way into local lead generation through what I confidently can tell you is the premiere
coaching system I have ever been a part of.

I was literally taught everything. I had the phone ringing for business owners in less than 90 days:

The BEST part?

Not a single thing was left out or required me to jump through any special hoops to unlock the TRUE
secrets.

They showed me how to quickly build EASY websites and legitimately dumbed down the only
fundamentals that truly matter when ranking a website on Google, or SEO as some call it.

It is why I have definitively determined....

If your gears are spinning as fast as mine was when I first saw this, you probably have already figured
out some of those points above.

5 “Firsts” How to Rock A Fast Start In Network Marketing

Hey there Rock Stars, Sarah “Rockin” Robbins here!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being asked to train on two team calls, as well as on my own team call. I
decided to choose a topic that I have recently been reflecting on–the power of a “fast start”–how to
start newbies strong!

After recruiting 10 new people personally last month, I really honed in on what the most important
things are to get new people into action—and how to keep them (and myself) from getting
overwhelmed, and get them off to a rockin start! Watch this quick video, then read below for an outline
(and language) to help start your newbies strong (and if you’re new, use these tips to start yourself
strong too!) =>

The core principals of what it takes to build big in network marketing are timeless and universal. Stick to
your system (which will include these tips)–I want to share with you 5 focuses within my system to help
newbies start strong! I call it my “5 Firsts” To Help Your “Rock Your Network Marketing Business”

Here are 5 things I do to focus on getting newbies off to a rockin start=>

1) POWER PARTNER TOGETHER FROM DAY 1

Set an enrollment appointment to help them choose their getting started package, and enroll in your
monthly auto ship. Good leadership starts from the enrollment appointment. When you’re done, do a
website walkthrough together. Teach them how to place an order and where to find training. Get them
excited about starting the products, and have them take their “before” picture for before and after’s to
build belief with their prospects later on! (if applicable).

I send them a welcome email and give them homework that’s income producing. I tell them: Write
down every name you have in your Facebook, phone, and the memory jogger I send you, and write
down the people you want to share your new business with—and let’s set a time to talk about HOW
tomorrow!

2) Goal Setting and Going Through Their Contact List (Day 2)

We talk about their why—their immediate goals and any company goals they can go for. We then talk
about how to get there–which requires daily activity, and consistent activity of “exciting and inviting”
their prospects to learn more via call with me, coffee, or to their launch event or a team event. I tell
them– If you reach out to a few new people every day, you will build a big business over time. We then
discuss ideas of how to reach out to people on their list— I brainstorm with my newbies regularly “who
is your hottest prospect today, tell me about them, how can I help you reach out to them?”

You can email them language, and prospecting tips too. For example:

Call or message people you know

“I wanted to share some exciting news with you. I know you’ve built an incredible network in Chicago.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but I am building a business there and I immediately thought of you
because I know how well networked you are there. I’m hoping I could share more about what we’re
doing, and who we’re looking to partner with as we expand there, and see if this is a good fit for anyone
you know in the area. I’d love to pick your brains and get ideas of how to expand my business there. Do
you have just a few minutes so I can share more?”

Talk to people who provide you service (waiters, bank tellers, cashiers, etc)

“Thanks for your great service today! We are looking for people like you for our business! I know you are
working, but could we exchange information? I’d love to tell you more about what I do! What time are
you off of work so I can call?

Talk to people when you’re out and about

Start with compliments—ask them questions about their family, where they work, etc. I like to
eventually ask: Where are you from? –This question will lead you into what I like to call your
“professional pick up line” later on. Keep conversing like the game of ping pong, and eventually say
how nice it was to meet them. Then ask: “Do you have a card? Earlier you mentioned you were from
<their city>. My business is expanding to <their city>. I would like to give you a call and take just a few
minutes to tell you what we’re doing there, and who we’re looking for and pick your brain. I’ve so
enjoyed talking to you—I’d love to reconnect and see if you can help me out.”
OR Use the “Sample pack approach”

When you’re out, give compliments, ask a lot of questions, and network! Have a normal conversation.
Before you leave: “I’ve loved chatting with you today and want to leave you a little gift. I wanted to
share some products with you that I am in love with! I know you’ll love them too. There are instructions
on how to use them. If you promise you will use them, I promise I will follow-up and stay in touch!
Today is Sunday. I will call you on Tuesday to see how you love them. What time works best for you?”
Exchange info, schedule a time to follow up, and FOLLOW UP!

Prospect on Facebook

“Hi Joanna! I realize this is out the blue…. hope you’re well! I know you live in Utah & that market is an
important area of growth for my business for multiple reasons. You may or may not have a personal
interest, but either way I would love to tell you who I am looking for in the hopes you might know
someone. Can you please shoot me your cell? I’m hoping you can help me & would love to catch up with
you if nothing else. (*personalize the conversation here*) Congrats on your darling son! 10-15 minutes is
all I need, as I’m sure that’s all you have time for as well right now. Thanks & I’ll drop you another
message later next week if I don’t hear from you first.” Thanks Amy B for this language!

Teach them to invite people on to a call or coffee with you – or to your next meeting or event!

I tell my newbies: Now, you need to start calling people, and scheduling calls and coffees with me. I will
present to them and help you to get new customers and consultants. Let’s talk again when you get your
kit. Text me when it’s here!

3) Their distributor kit is here! I have them text me the day they get their kit to announce their business
formally and to plan the official launch of their business! Doors are officially open! I tell them: When you
get your kit, take a cool picture of you with it. If you have kids or a family, make it fun and do it together!
There’s a cool app that allows you to put some fun text on it called “Rhonna” (iPhone app store). You
can say something that creates intrigue such as “mommas got a brand new business!” Announce your
new business on Facebook, and be sure in the post to include a link to your website “check it out here
(link)”! When people “like” the post, or “comment” on it, you know they see it! Message them in their
inbox and say “thank you for supporting my business! I saw you comment on my post, and it meant the
world to me. Do you have some time that I could share more with you? I’m looking to expand my
business and would love your ideas, support, and referrals! What’s a good time and number to reach
you?

I’ll announce them on my personal page a few days following, using the same picture, and tagging them
to get them more visibility that week.

We then talk about launching their business with an official event!

This is a simple way to get their business and products in front of a lot of people at once! You know that
list they made? They can invite everyone on that list to come to the grand opening of their new
business. It can be a fun theme (leave the aging to wine and cheese, cocktails and conversations, or
coffee and conversations if during the day!) Sending out invitations gets the best response, and always
have them follow up a day or two before the event with a text reminding your guests of how happy they
are they will be there (this keeps them from backing out). Encourage guests to bring a friend—the more
people you have, the more new customers and consultants they will get!

If they are local, I will do the event, so not much prep is needed besides setting up! If they are long
distance, I will do the presentation via skype! I just did 2 of these for new out of state personal recruits
yesterday. It was simple. I skyped into their event. They have their computer hooked up to their TV via
HDMI cord so everyone could see me, along with loud speakers so everyone could hear me. I held up
the products while giving the presentation about the business and products. They closed the event by
making product suggestions, taking orders, and asking guests if they saw anything about the business
that intrigued them—and if so, they scheduled a 3-way call with me.

To keep the momentum going, I tell them after that they can always ask friends to host events for them,
to get in front of a lot of people at once! Say: “My business is building in your area. I would love to meet
new people. Would you host an event for me? I‘m happy to give you free product as a thank you!” This
is a great way to grow a customer base fast!

4) I make sure they continue to keep posting, keep calling , keep inviting.

I tell them: Follow my lead on Facebook, play “follow the leader”!

Keep reaching out to a few NEW people every day with the ideas I shared! Set up calls, coffees, events
with me! Keep doing events! I will stay in touch regularly your first month to ask you about your
progress, ask you who your hottest prospects are and help you close them, and help plan your events.

5) KEEP THEM PLUGGED INTO SYSTEMS:

Keep them plugged into calls, meetings, and events!

You keep recruiting, and be available for their “income producing activity”!

Have Fun With This guys!!!

You can create your own fun experiences for your team too, as it grows! This creates culture, which is
the “glue” that holds your team together. The friendships are what keep people in the business when
there are distractions in life. Set up parties, barbecues, quarterly recognition events, team get-togethers
at conventions, or retreats.! A team who plays together, stays together!
As your team grows, so will your leadership. It’s important that you decide today what kind of leader
you want to be, and what kind of culture you create for your team. Always remember, whatever you do
will duplicate, starting today! Create the culture that you desire and your team deserves.

“LIKE” what you learned? Please give me a “virtual thumbs up” by liking, and don’t forget to “share”
with your team (straight from this source, as this is copyrighted material) on your favorite social site!
Sharing ROCKS and so do you! Rock on, rock stars!

Network marketing business ideas with low investment Gokul P
Updated on 27 June 2023
17 min read
You've probably heard the pitch for a network marketing firm that requires little in the way of initial
capital but promises huge returns at least once in your life. You probably started to doubt its
authenticity and decided to dismiss it right away.

You are not entirely wrong in suspecting fraud if the promise of high returns on a small investment is
overstated. But what you should also understand is that it is possible to execute successful network
marketing business ideas out of low investments and generate a good amount of money, given that you
have put in the right amount of hard work and dedication, with proper planning and following guidelines
from authorities.

Factors affecting MLM success

For quite some time, network marketing has been a prominent business model. It involves a business
strategy that sells goods and services directly to customers via a network of independent distributors. As
was mentioned at the beginning, the low initial investment need is a major selling point of this business
concept. However, the advantages of utilizing this business model go beyond that single benefit.

Making sales and cultivating a committed customer base are paramount in network marketing. It is
essential not to lose sight of the primary objective, which is selling products and services to customers
while recruiting and building a downline of distributors. Focusing on what your customers want and
developing solid partnerships with them will bring in repeat business and commissions. Your passive
income will grow in tandem with your sales and customer base.

Starting out as a distributor by joining an MLM company is a common first step for many who eventually
go on to launch their own firm. The commissions they earn from their expanding downline will provide a
continuous stream of money as they work toward funding the business's launch. The extensive network
they have cultivated over time makes it simple for them to launch a new venture since they can easily
find the first set of customers through their existing network of distributors. This gives the company a
tremendous head start.

But if you're confident that your MLM business ideas can stand out from the established and thriving
MLM companies, then there's no reason to hold back. However, before you launch your new direct
selling business, it's crucial to keep these guidelines in mind to avoid common pitfalls.

How to develop your own network marketing business ideas

Determine your vision, area of expertise, and market niche.
Conduct a thorough market research, including customer purchasing patterns, demographics, brand
recognition, etc.
Learn the ins and outs of different kinds of compensation plans.
Seek additional guidance from consultants to fine-tune the business plan.
Conduct a profitability analysis and feasibility study.
Invest in an efficient software for MLM business to simplify the management of your organization and
increase productivity.
Learn the pros and cons of network marketing and use that knowledge to reorganize your business plan.
In addition, it is beneficial to develop your soft skills and build your personal brand. People tend to put
more emphasis on technical and sales abilities while ignoring this important factor. In the beginning,
your company will be more closely linked with your name than its own, so how you present yourself is
crucial. Planning your day and making effective direct sales routines that help you reach your business
goals can put you a long way ahead of the competition since not many people do this.

The perks of starting a network marketing business

Perks of network marketing business
1. Achieving a substantial return on investment
The earnings potential of a network marketing business is enormous. Building a thriving network of
distributors is the first step to unlocking massive growth and income potential for your business. With
an effective plan in place, you can effortlessly witness your company soar to greater heights. When
compared to the potential earnings of a conventional business, which typically requires an initial
investment of millions of dollars, a well-established network marketing company often offers superior
earning potential. Once you’ve made it past the initial years of your business’ existence, when you are
just trying to keep your head above water, your company will experience exponential growth unlike that
of any other traditional business.

2. Leveraging your way to success

When we discuss leverage, we're essentially referring to how much profit you can generate while
investing as little as possible. Having said that network marketing can be highly rewarding, the reward
could be in the form of either time or money and depends totally on your level of effort and
commitment. And the best part is, the potential returns are limitless! In addition, building a network can
happen quickly, as your friends and family may be the first to join your business and provide the initial
momentum. As your network grows, you'll be able to earn more income with less invested time because
you'll also earn from the business that other members of your network generate. Although it may seem
simple, success will only come with dedication and persistence in the work necessary to achieve it.

3. Boundless freedom
The importance of this particular aspect of network marketing is often overlooked. Generating a
substantial income does not necessarily require working tirelessly all day or being confined to the office
for the entire week. Network marketing allows you to make a good living without compromising your
freedom to set your own hours, work from your couch, and associate with whomever you prefer. To
those in search of a fulfilling profession, this business model's emphasis on both financial independence
and work-life balance makes it an appealing choice. Being able to make money this way without
experiencing any negative emotions is a sign of true enjoyment.

4. Minimal marketing efforts

For their initial market recognition, traditional startups must spend a lot of money on marketing and
advertising. The biggest benefit of network marketing businesses is the ability to leverage the most
potent form of advertising, word of mouth. The number of distributors in the network increases
proportionally as the network is built. They need to advertise your goods and services widely if they
want to increase sales and your customer base. Consequently, your company reaches a wider audience
in a shorter amount of time. This makes marketing effortless and maximizes its benefits for your
company.

5. Easy entry
You don't need a four-year degree for success in network marketing. With a solid product and the
confidence to build a network of like-minded individuals, you can create a thriving network marketing
business. The fact that network marketing can be initiated with a small investment removes the entry
barrier for anyone interested in the field. There is a minimal requirement for domain knowledge, which
can be easily acquired through online reading. However, keep in mind that only the initial steps are
simple; to build a successful business, you must be consistent and diligent.

6. Personal development opportunity

Network marketing offers limitless exposure opportunities and personal development benefits. With
network marketing, you can expand your business without being limited by geography. Therefore, you'll
have much less trouble getting to customers from all over the world and creating partnerships that will
help your company grow. Working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill sets provides
invaluable knowledge transfer and equips you to tackle tough business situations with ease. In time, you
may even be able to land a job working alongside top earners in the network marketing industry, whose
extensive knowledge you can learn from as your company grows. Further, this contributes to your
development as a businessperson and an individual, helping you and your company stand out over time.
Overcoming the challenges in network marketing
Challenges in network marketing
1. Lower success rate
While network marketing is a popular career choice for many, the success rate is often low due to a
range of factors including inadequate planning and execution, market saturation, and unrealistic income
expectations. A lack of success in this field may also be attributed to inadequate support and training.
Also, it's common for individuals to treat network marketing as a side gig and not invest the necessary
time and energy it requires. However, with a strong work ethic and dedication, success in network
marketing is still attainable.

2. Low response rate

If you're new to the network marketing industry and still finding your footing, brace yourself for the
possibility of encountering rejections along the way. Unfortunately, there are those who confuse
legitimate network marketing schemes with pyramid schemes that dupe people with fraudulent earning
claims. This common misconception can make people hesitant to join such businesses. Helping people
understand the fundamental differences between a legitimate MLM scheme and a pyramid scheme is
vital to building trust and confidence in your business.

3. Slow expansion
While network marketing offers great earning prospects, establishing a strong foundation for your
business can take time. Finding the right people who can provide your business with the initial
momentum is a crucial yet time-consuming task. Rushing through this step can end up with a foundation
that can't support the weight of your business. Convincing people about your products and services is
another challenge that can take time. However, having a solid blueprint for your business can
significantly reduce the time taken for expansion. By mindfully planning and executing your strategy,
you can set your business up for long-term success.

4. Overhead costs
It's important to keep in mind the costs that may or may not yield immediate returns, as your
professional network grows and develops. For example, training new team members, whether offline or
online, requires expenses for venue, training materials, and more. Even after training, there is a risk of
losing team members who lose interest in the business, leading to a loss of the training expenses.
Additionally, maintaining an inventory can also lead to overhead costs. Fortunately, there are platforms
that support customer acquisition, offer distributor training suite, and other advanced tools to assist and
mentor your team. Utilizing these tools can help you manage your team more efficiently and minimize
potential costs.

Efficiently train your distributors by enhancing their proficiency and competence

5. High degree of dependency
One of the most significant benefits of network marketing is the potential to earn income from the sales
generated by your downline members. However, this can also have a downside: inefficient hiring can
hurt your earnings. If your downline members underperform, the sales they generate will be lower,
which in turn reduces the commissions you earn. The results of this could have a negative domino effect
on your company. To avoid future regrets, it is crucial to invest sufficient time and consideration in the
lead generation process and make well-informed decisions from the outset. Rushing through this
process can result in poor choices that may have long-term repercussions for your business.

Top profitable network marketing business ideas

With the context set, let's dive into some business ideas that can perform extremely well with the
network marketing approach.

Rest assured, we won't be suggesting the typical long-running health and wellness or cosmetic products
businesses that everyone in this industry seems to be peddling. Instead, we have curated a list of unique
and unexplored business ideas from various fields where there's still a lot of ground to cover. You can
choose any of these based on your past experiences and interests.

So, without further ado, let's explore some exciting possibilities for network marketing business ideas
with low investment.

Network marketing business ideas

E-learning
Selling your courses via network marketing is a great way to advance your career as a teacher if that is
something you are truly passionate about. This approach involves using an e-learning platform to sell
your courses. Members can not only learn the subjects they love on the platform but can also earn
commissions by referring new people to the course. You can even offer your members extra benefits like
free courses, priority access, and more for successful referrals they make to the business. This way, you
can encourage them to keep learning and simultaneously promote your business.

Pet products
The annual spending on pet supplies is in the billions, making the pet industry a lucrative business. The
American Pet Products Association estimates that consumers spent a whopping $136.8 billion on pet
supplies in just the year 2022, which is a very significant sum of money. By utilizing network marketing,
you have the opportunity to offer a diverse range of pet supplies, such as food, supplements, grooming
supplies, and beyond, to a broad audience.

The market for pet supplies is sizable, and you have the opportunity to carve out a portion of it. Finding
your first customers shouldn't be too difficult, given that many areas have a sizable pet owner
population. You can also increase your exposure and gain new customers by participating in regional pet
shows and other similar events. Since many people have a deep and abiding love for their pets, finding
distributors shouldn't be a problem either. You can win over customers and earn their continued
patronage by consistently delivering superior goods and services.

Travel and tourism

In the aftermath of COVID, the tourism industry has experienced a significant growth spurt. As you may
notice, many people who previously showed little enthusiasm for taking time off work to see the world,
have caught the travel bug recently. This is a rare positive effect of surviving the COVID era.

To implement direct sales travel and tourism, you can sell tour packages, vacation packages, and related
services such as hotel bookings and flights. There aren't a lot of industries like this one, where you can
draw customers from all over the globe. You can offer cashback discounts, premium hotel perks, and
discounted flight bookings as incentives for successful referrals to the business. Furthermore, you can
provide them with exclusive membership plans at various levels that provide benefits such as early
access to deals and personalized travel recommendations.

Art
Art comes in all shapes and forms, from traditional paintings to the latest NFT masterpieces. Its
versatility means that the possibilities for experimentation are endless.

Network marketing allows you to sell digital and non-digital artwork to customers in both online and
offline settings. Because art posts on social media typically garner a significant number of likes and
comments, you can leverage this fact to your advantage as a potent instrument for expanding the scope
of your reach. You can collaborate with other artists, host art exhibitions, and try various strategies to
enhance your art's exposure. Furthermore, if you put your imagination to work, you can provide various
art forms to various clientele, inspiring them to spend more money and allowing you to advance to tiers
where you can sell works in fashionable genres. Offering art classes is another way to attract art-loving
people who may become customers down the road.

Personal development
Training your mind in the same way that people used to train their bodies at the gym is becoming
increasingly important in this age where brain power matters more than physical capabilities. Keeping
up with the world today requires you to have a mind that can match its increasing level of competence.
That's why courses devoted to self-improvement are continually growing in popularity. A personal
development service offers a diverse range of training on valuable skills such as mindfulness, critical
thinking, leadership qualities, and much more.

Many aspiring business owners are on the lookout for mentorship from seasoned executives. Corporate
workers who are overworked are concerned about maintaining their mental health. The market is ripe
with possibilities like these, and by utilizing network marketing strategies, your company can capitalize
on more of them. By utilizing social media to distribute free content that showcases the value of your
service, you can successfully attract a wider audience. This initial step can help you acquire your first
customers, and as you continue to establish yourself, you can incentivize them to refer to new
businesses by providing them with exclusive deals, early access to your content, personalized
consultations, and more.

Legal services
The legal services industry has great potential for exponential growth, despite its relatively smaller
market size compared to other industries. With the help of network marketing, you can achieve success
in this field if you have a passion for it and deep domain knowledge.

You can offer various legal services such as real estate planning, insurance claims, and family law. To
attract your initial customers, you can start by sharing educational content related to law on social
media. This can help you expand your business through networking. Having collaborative relationships
with other businesses in your industry, such as those in the domains of insurance and real estate,
additionally helps you in broadening your customer base. You can incentivize members by rewarding
them based on how much business they bring in. You can offer unique benefits such as fully-paid trips
and special bonuses for achieving beyond their target.

Key takeaways
These are just a few of the many fantastic ways to launch your direct selling business. It will be much
simpler to build a successful business if you pick MLM ideas and concepts that play to your strengths
and interests. This will help you to stay passionate about the business and can make it easier to both
establish the company and stay motivated.

Thorough market research can be highly helpful for figuring out the demand and supply for the product
or service that you plan on selling. This will allow you to narrow down to the finest item or service to sell
and market it in a way that draws in the most customers.

A low-cost network marketing investment does not imply that there will be no costs. Depending on the
size and domain of the business you plan to start, there will be initial investments required such as
inventory and paid advertisements. Budgeting and keeping track of your spending helps you control
your finances and make smart decisions.

Remember that social media will be your best friend in getting your business on its feet and will be the
most inexpensive and straightforward means to reach out to more people. Similarly, your business's use
case should guide your selection of a suitable network marketing plan. This is also fundamental when
you start an MLM business. You can stay on track and see what lies ahead for your business if you create
a detailed marketing strategy and establish reasonable deadlines for reaching profitability.

Finally, you should always put your customers' needs first and make networking your top priority.
Investing time and energy into cultivating lasting connections with your customer base will yield
dividends for your company in the long run.

All the best!

Network Marketing
With the economy in a recession making unemployment reach the highest since the 1920's; curiosity in
creating an income online is on the rise. Many people have decided to seize the opportunity of earning
their living by Network Marketing. Despite age, situation, or location, Network Marketing allows
everyone to be a celebrity.

Introducing your business is not hard once you know what to do. Without proper knowledge failure may
occur. In order to introduce your business successfully, follow the next four steps to get you on your way
to a triumphant introduction!

1. Share your personal story -By sharing your story, tell prospective customers what led to the beginning
of your business. Some people may have the same or similar situation, while others may not. Either way,
if your story is written well, anyone will connect to your story. Remember, your goal is to catch the
attention of people and compose a way for them to relate to you.
2. Be Brief - Providing too much information is a major error that many people make. When you met
your special someone for the first time, did you disclose everything at that very moment? No, you gave
him or her just enough information to spark that interest and keep them hanging and coming back for
more.

3. Ask Simple Questions - The basic initial question is often, "Are you interested in my business?" There
will be either a "yes" or a "no" received; when you receive a "yes", you have permission to ask another
simple question. A successful introduction, only takes approximately 10 minutes. Provide that
information when asking "Would you like to complete that now or schedule for a later time?" Asking
short "yes" or "no" answers through the introduction allows the potential customer to back out at
anytime, providing you with only interested people.

4. Schedule time to speak - Making following up calls gives the interested customer a sense of
importance and a live person is on the other end of the computer.

5. Create an easy Duplication Process for People to follow. Brainstorming ideas with what works and
what does not is going to save you time and money!

6. Do your research on your demographic and what is pulling the most results now! If you do Keyword
Research, along with seeing what is viral out on the internet, if you follow success, you in turn will be
successful in whatever business venture you promote.

In closing, using the preceding four basic steps, you will shortly witness an increase in your traffic. Bear
in mind that you need to put forth a genuine effort in following the four steps or the introduction will
fail. Following these four basic steps will guarantee success when structuring your Network Marketing
Business online.

Five Steps to Restart (Jumpstart) Your Network Marketing Home Business

First of all, it's okay to start over as many times as you like. You never have to apologize for stopping. On
the contrary, it takes courage to restart. You're worth it to go after it again.

Many people start off to build a network marketing (although I prefer to refer to it more appropriately
as Teamwork Marketing) team only to walk away. Perhaps you even quit and said you'd never do that
again but now really want to succeed.
For all the many reasons there are that people walk away, there are as many reasons for people to want
to come back.

I can relate to how you might be feeling right now.

I entered network marketing in February of 2006 and only dabbled in the business side of it until 2010
after the 2009 bad economy did a number on my CPA/Investment Advisory business. I began to build a
team and like so many starting out, I made a ton of mistakes. But to my credit, I never quit.

In 2015 my income had hit multiple 6-figures. In 2019 I was recognized as our company's 297th
millionaire (cumulative earnings *). However nice that was, the wheels were already coming off.

In 2016 I entered a phase of my life that pulled me away from the business to overcome some serious
family problems and for me to heal and recover from a lifetime addiction. While I felt I was still a part of
the business and would still gain an occasional recruit, the team was starting to falter and my income
took a nosedive and bottomed out in 2020.

In the mid part of COVID 2020, I began to reengage with the business. But perhaps like you may be
feeling, I was scared, uncertain, and really didn't know what to do. What generated the first million,
wouldn't work again partly because the FACEBOOK algorithm changed that allowed me an easy supply
of leads, but I too through my recovery had changed.

I was restarting all over again in life and my business.

I'm in full network marketing mode now and these five steps are a big part of my restart.

The Five Steps to Restart Your Network Marketing Business

Step One: Why is Restarting Important to You?

In order to succeed in network marketing, you have to have a passion for where it is you are wanting it
to go. Perhaps it is because of some of these reasons:

To pay for your dream (the money)

The time freedom to go and do what you want, when you want, without any financial burden
To leave a legacy for your family of pride, success, and money
Because it will fulfill the purpose of your life and the reason you were created.
I believe you have to have what Napoleon Hill describes in his book, Think and Grow Rich, as a "burning
hot desire." That level of desire is created by your reason to excel in network marketing.

Generally, that desire is linked to one or more of the bullet points I've outlined above. This is why this
step is so important.

The passion and desire you have to succeed is the single factor that will pull you past the hard spots in
your network marketing business, and I'll guarantee you'll have them. Perhaps a key reason you walked
away before was you didn't link the reason you wanted to embark on network marketing to your
passionate desires. Perhaps you didn't have the success you were expecting and were overcome with
resistance.

For me, network marketing links me to my God-given purpose for my creation. And honestly, I didn't
discover that the first time around. I only discovered my "Why" during my healing and recovery.

My Why

I help people and couples to live a dream life by not quitting so that they achieve freedom and
wellbeing.

Step Two: Review

Take a step back and do a self-assessment of why you stepped away in the first place. Being aware is a
principle of success because it's like a mariners compass telling the captain that he or she is off course.
Being aware allows you to make course corrections.

Perhaps you discover that you allowed yourself to become distracted and you took your eye off the
prize. Like many, perhaps you succumbed to "expectation" and believed that you "should" have had
better results. This led you to become frustrated. Now you understand that expectation is the enemy.

One of the biggest reasons is that you lost belief in your ability to make its network marketing home
business work.

In this step, you become aware of the reasons you left and you

ELIMINATE
them from your life. If you were driving on the freeway going to visit loved ones and one of your tires is
losing air and now it's slowing you down. You would eliminate the reason for losing air so that when you
put new air in the tire it would hold. If you want to succeed in your business you'll focus perhaps as
much time on eliminating challenges as you do adding resources to help you succeed.

Step Three: Set a New Declaration

Goals are one thing but they are not as powerful as a declaration.

A declaration is a statement of who you are and what you're going to become. Its power is in leading all
aspects of your life toward its end.

For example, the Founding Fathers of our Country create The Declaration of Independence. It outlined
how Americans were to live. That document created 245 years ago in 1776 set the stage for the
American way of life. All Americans to this day live based on that one declaration.
Your declaration will set the stage for how you live your life.

It has to be concrete and without any uncertainty of your path. It needs to contain two key phrases, the
words "best" and "in the world." For example, the declarations I have are;

To be the best home business mentor in the world, and

To be the best (or fastest) age-group Ironman triathlete in the world.
A leading psychologist has indicated the reason this form works is the word "best" because that leaves
little doubt in your mind what that means.

Step Four: Go hard no matter what

The most resistance you'll face in your business is right from the beginning. Everyone who has ever
achieved success has faced it too. Resistance is fed by fear. It has stopped many great people from ever
getting started. Perhaps it was the reason you stopped in the first place. It's so uncomfortable you
walked away because of the pain and struggle.

This is why you need to start out hard.

In the video, I used the analogy of an airplane taking off. The Earth's gravity is a big force keeping the
plane on the ground. Pilots know this and to create the lift they need they have to give the plane about
85% throttle to break free of this resistance and get the plane into cruising altitude.

This is what you'll want to do too.

Action is the great equalizer in all success. It is what separates achievement from being mediocre.

Step Five: Honor the resistance and your struggle

I believe the number one difference between a person that achieves success and all others, is the
successful person

Honors Their Struggle

We live in a culture that has ascribed to mediocrity, pleasure, and comfort. It's a natural course for your
brain to seek comfort. Being challenged simply doesn't feel good.

But there are two kinds of stress; the kind that is harmful and the kind that is beneficial. The beneficial
stress is called eustress.

Simply put, you need struggle (eustress) to grow.

Athletes and high achievers understand this and create eustress and struggle in order to achieve. An
athlete puts their body in very uncomfortable situations that are controlled and timed. Their body then
adapts to the struggle and gets stronger, faster, and bigger.
Your success in network marketing is paramount on your ability to work through the struggle and
overcome it and like an athlete, you become stronger, better, and a bigger person.

There is one other very important truth about struggle; it confirms the path you're on is right. Another
way to put it, no one ever achieved anything of worth in their comfort zone.

Go Today and Restart Your Network Marketing Home Business

Of course, you'll need to developed the skills necessary to achieve success. Following these 5 steps
above will put you in a position to apply new learning, which is always uncomfortable, and then "do the
do."

I've put together some free training that sets the stage for the three critical areas to live a full life and
achieve success.

Grow, Build & Scale Your Network Marketing Business with Digital Marketing

Grow, Build & Scale Your Network Marketing Business with Digital Marketing
Your business entrepreneurial journey can begin anytime, anywhere with technology.

Launch yourself into the e-commerce game, but a strong groundwork has to be laid in terms of
overseeing production, quality control, inventory management, and more.

Affiliate marketing is a no-brainer if you are already a brand-in-itself or know how to generate traffic
online. Ultimately, your income is dependent on you and you alone, as it involves less teamwork.

Becoming a freelancer is a good option. However, when you stop working, your paychecks stop coming
too.

So, where’s the leverage?

Network Marketing has again become the buzzword in the pandemic. It is one of the better ways for
your business to generate a passive stream of revenue.

We are sure “Amway” strikes you first when you hear the word ‘Network marketing’. How often have
you heard (and used) the directive “make your customers your marketers”?

Three Objectives Of Network Marketing - Colorwhistle

What’s New in Network Marketing 2.0?
Network Marketing has always involved developing a team of people who work together to deliver the
product’s message to a wide range of potential customers, while the corporate handles everything else.
The leaders of these teams are compensated for the products they sell as well as the products their
team members (downline) sell.

“Just because Multi-Level Marketing businesses come pre-made with a product or service, a plan, and
support, doesn’t mean it will run itself.”

Fellow Marketer.
With the digital revolution in business, Network Marketing has become a better version of itself in the
sense that influencers today share each other’s domain strengths, contacts, and businesses more
effectively.
Digital Marketing has the potential to complement all the three objectives of Network Marketing via
appropriate platforms. We find many finance industry influencers drive network marketing with evolving
social media and digital modes.

And so a new marketing terminology is now synthesized which is, Digital Network Marketing or Network
Marketing 2.0.

Your Success Code to Digital Network Marketing

Create a website.
Optimize the website with SEO.
Target intended audience using PPC & Content marketing.
Create ‘responsible’ awareness with Social media marketing.
Catch up with the latest marketing trends using Video marketing.
Depersonalise email marketing.
The rules of engagement are also changed such that:

Facebook sometimes denies MLM or company-specific ads. It might be time to get creative with HOW
responsibly you use social media to prospect and include others in your network.
News reports read that TikTok just became the first major platform to ban multilevel marketing
companies recruiting on its platform.

It might be time to refocus on the fundamentals of inviting, presenting, and training so that you set a
good example for your team to follow.
Here’s an interesting read from Neil Patel’s blog on why should you de-personalize your marketing in
2021?

It might be time to lean into your natural personality and brand, instead of trying to “become” like
someone, thinking that is the key to selling (it isn’t).
Practical Table of Comparison
Alejandro Chabán or Tony Robbins, or Eric Worre, all their programs involve a direct selling component,
explaining how technology can be a vehicle for positive change within the world of MLM – both for
direct sellers and for business owners.

BASIS OF COMPARISON TRADITIONAL NETWORK MARKETING DIGITAL NETWORK MARKETING

Selling Mode MLM business models depend on shipping physical products to sellers, who then sell
them to buyers.If companies set up their sellers with their own eCommerce websites, buyers can place
orders online, and this eliminates the need for sellers to store their products on-site.
Work Flexibility

Sellers are constrained to conducting their business around other people’s schedules. As buying and
selling are done on the internet, sellers are presented with unparalleled flexibility.
Market Size
Probably limited to selling in your town or around your neighbourhood. The most obvious advantage
that technology offers the world of MLM is its nearly unlimited geographical scope.
Training MLM programs required their sellers to attend expensive in-person workshops – or
simply dropped off a bunch of products at sellers’ homes and let them to their own devices. MLM
companies can utilize cutting-edge technology like webinars and live streams to provide sellers with free
or inexpensive skill-building materials – which they can attend from the comfort of their own homes.
Wrapping Up
The direct selling industry in the retail market is now at $108.5 billion USD in 2021 with “Wellness” being
the largest product category.

Indeed, Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) has gone way beyond small-town college group parties. In the
digital age, MLM presents sellers with more tools than ever to set their business on the path to success.

If you are thinking of starting a business that will rely on multi-level marketing of any kind, be sure you
have a solid marketing team at the very core of your organization. Consulting a digital agency like
ColorWhistle can set your MLM business on the path to the digital revolution by effective use of the
website to generate traffic online & build custom marketing plans.

Network Marketing Meaning
Network marketing or multi-level marketing refers to a business model which constitutes a network of
people earning directly from sales commission depending on the quantity they sell. It’s a flexible
approach that allows people to work online. It evolved as a strategy that adds salespersons to a
marketing network.

What is Network Marketing?

However, most network marketing strategies are pyramid schemes, which try to make money by selling
expensive training materials to new hires rather than getting them to sell a product. Hence, people
interested in this type of marketing should be aware of network marketing scams and research them
before enrolling.

Key Takeaways
Network marketing strategy works by adding more people to a business, marketing a product, and
generating sales. The people are paid a commission depending on the quantity they sell.
Common types include single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier marketing. Of this, single-tier marketing is
considered more authentic.
Some notable network marketing companies are Amway, Tupperware, Avon Products, etc.
The applications of social media in marketing are not new. Similarly, social network marketing is a
strategy gaining prominence. The salespersons market the product to their online connections.
Network Marketing Explained
Network marketing businesses usually begin with a core sales team. These people specialize in sales.
Next, the team adds another tier of salespeople enthusiastic about the product or sales prospects. The
second tier recruits the third tier, and this goes on. Finally, the salespeople earn commission by the
number of items they can sell.

But what makes this marketing strategy interesting is that the top-tier salespersons who recruit another
tier will get a share of others’ commission. For example, consider a company that sells skincare
products. The core sales team consists of A, B, and C. They recruit D, E, and F, who hire G, H, and I,
respectively. A earns a commission on the sales made by her. She also earns a part of the commission on
sales made by D, G, and the others hired by her recruits.

With the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns, there has been a rise in such marketing strategies.
Since people were confined to their homes, looking to make money, with the internet being a huge
relief, social network marketing grew. It encouraged using social media tools like posts and
stories/statuses to advertise certain products to the salespersons’ contacts.

However, this led to an exponential increase in network marketing scams. By recognizing the potential
for such gig works, many businesses exploited the people looking for jobs by making them pay upfront
for training materials. Their objective is to earn money from people in the name of a business. Thus, the
pyramid schemes focus not on customers but on workers who become the bait.

Types
There are mainly three types of multi-level marketing. Let’s look at each in detail.

Single-tier marketing – This is considered the most authentic type of marketing, where people earn
based on direct commission. They are not often required to recruit another tier of people. Affiliate
marketing strategies like Pay-Per-Click (PPC), Pay-Per-Lead (PPL), Pay-Per-Acquisition (PPA), etc., are
followed in this.
Two-tier marketing – In this approach, the salespersons earn direct sales commissions. However, they
also earn indirect commissions or incentives to recruit other tiers. Earning indirect commission is more
often restricted to two tiers of salespeople.
Multi-tier marketing – This method has more than two tiers of salespeople. They can earn direct and
indirect commissions up to five to six tiers. Some companies provide top-tier salespersons with
incentives as long as their tier of recruits grows.
Since two-tier and multi-tier marketing provides incentives for recruiting people, it might be considered
a pyramid scheme or less genuine.
Example of Network Marketing
The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) noted the proliferation of network marketing
businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. With rising concerns about the common public becoming
prey to pyramid schemes, the agency, in February 2022, decided to introduce regulations allowing it to
track the unlawful gains by such companies and appropriate this money.

Decently established network marketing brings together people who are enthusiastic about sales. So
rather than just being a salesperson or a representative, they can act as an affiliate. It is a secondary
source of income for many people and allows them to work online flexibly.

From a company’s perspective, it only needs to pay those who contribute to sales instead of having to
pay fixed salaries or wages. Thus, it is a gain for businesses. They need not pay additional benefits to the
employees, as the salespersons are not actual employees of the business. This reduces the company’s
time and effort it puts into the recruitment process.

Another advantage of multi-level marketing is that it supplies quality products in demand – organic,
natural, vegan, and sustainable. Most such businesses focus on bio-based products in cosmetics,
skincare, health supplements, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is network marketing a pyramid scheme?
No. Network marketing is not supposed to be a pyramid scheme. Unfortunately, however, many people
are turning to such fraudulent activities. Consequently, more multi-level marketing initiatives are
becoming pyramid schemes.

2. How to succeed in network marketing?

Due to the criticisms and misconceptions about fraud in multi-level marketing strategies, it is first
important to add authenticity to the business. For this, it is advisable to use different approaches than
those followed by pyramid schemes. Businesses can undertake affiliate marketing programs, which are
considered more genuine than regular multi-level marketing initiatives.

3. What are network marketing companies?

Network or multi-level marketing companies generally generate sales through tiers of recruits. One tier
of recruits will generate a second tier, and this goes on, thereby increasing sales for the business. The
recruits will earn a direct commission on sales conducted by them and a second commission from the
sales made by their recruits.

4. Is network marketing legal?

Yes. Multi-level marketing is a legal business strategy. But some people misuse this strategy to make
unlawful gains by exploiting people.

Network Marketing Meaning
Network marketing or multi-level marketing refers to a business model which constitutes a network of
people earning directly from sales commission depending on the quantity they sell. It’s a flexible
approach that allows people to work online. It evolved as a strategy that adds salespersons to a
marketing network.

What is Network Marketing?

However, most network marketing strategies are pyramid schemes, which try to make money by selling
expensive training materials to new hires rather than getting them to sell a product. Hence, people
interested in this type of marketing should be aware of network marketing scams and research them
before enrolling.

Key Takeaways
Network marketing strategy works by adding more people to a business, marketing a product, and
generating sales. The people are paid a commission depending on the quantity they sell.
Common types include single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier marketing. Of this, single-tier marketing is
considered more authentic.
Some notable network marketing companies are Amway, Tupperware, Avon Products, etc.
The applications of social media in marketing are not new. Similarly, social network marketing is a
strategy gaining prominence. The salespersons market the product to their online connections.
Network Marketing Explained
Network marketing businesses usually begin with a core sales team. These people specialize in sales.
Next, the team adds another tier of salespeople enthusiastic about the product or sales prospects. The
second tier recruits the third tier, and this goes on. Finally, the salespeople earn commission by the
number of items they can sell.

But what makes this marketing strategy interesting is that the top-tier salespersons who recruit another
tier will get a share of others’ commission. For example, consider a company that sells skincare
products. The core sales team consists of A, B, and C. They recruit D, E, and F, who hire G, H, and I,
respectively. A earns a commission on the sales made by her. She also earns a part of the commission on
sales made by D, G, and the others hired by her recruits.

With the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns, there has been a rise in such marketing strategies.
Since people were confined to their homes, looking to make money, with the internet being a huge
relief, social network marketing grew. It encouraged using social media tools like posts and
stories/statuses to advertise certain products to the salespersons’ contacts.

However, this led to an exponential increase in network marketing scams. By recognizing the potential
for such gig works, many businesses exploited the people looking for jobs by making them pay upfront
for training materials. Their objective is to earn money from people in the name of a business. Thus, the
pyramid schemes focus not on customers but on workers who become the bait.

Types
There are mainly three types of multi-level marketing. Let’s look at each in detail.

Single-tier marketing – This is considered the most authentic type of marketing, where people earn
based on direct commission. They are not often required to recruit another tier of people. Affiliate
marketing strategies like Pay-Per-Click (PPC), Pay-Per-Lead (PPL), Pay-Per-Acquisition (PPA), etc., are
followed in this.
Two-tier marketing – In this approach, the salespersons earn direct sales commissions. However, they
also earn indirect commissions or incentives to recruit other tiers. Earning indirect commission is more
often restricted to two tiers of salespeople.
Multi-tier marketing – This method has more than two tiers of salespeople. They can earn direct and
indirect commissions up to five to six tiers. Some companies provide top-tier salespersons with
incentives as long as their tier of recruits grows.
Since two-tier and multi-tier marketing provides incentives for recruiting people, it might be considered
a pyramid scheme or less genuine.

Example of Network Marketing

The United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) noted the proliferation of network marketing
businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. With rising concerns about the common public becoming
prey to pyramid schemes, the agency, in February 2022, decided to introduce regulations allowing it to
track the unlawful gains by such companies and appropriate this money.

Benefits
Decently established network marketing brings together people who are enthusiastic about sales. So
rather than just being a salesperson or a representative, they can act as an affiliate. It is a secondary
source of income for many people and allows them to work online flexibly.

From a company’s perspective, it only needs to pay those who contribute to sales instead of having to
pay fixed salaries or wages. Thus, it is a gain for businesses. They need not pay additional benefits to the
employees, as the salespersons are not actual employees of the business. This reduces the company’s
time and effort it puts into the recruitment process.

Another advantage of multi-level marketing is that it supplies quality products in demand – organic,
natural, vegan, and sustainable. Most such businesses focus on bio-based products in cosmetics,
skincare, health supplements, etc.

MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) company is a promotional marketing strategy in which a salesperson sells
the services or products for a specific MLM business and recruits new sales promoters to further sales of
services or products. The company salesman aims not only to sell the product but also to get more
people to carry on and continue the chain of selling the product further.

The profits of the initial salesperson continuously grow as the chain grows. It is also known as network
marketing, multi-level marketing, matrix marketing, etc. A manufacturer or a trading company with
some unique and exclusive services or products to market and willing to tap worldwide customers
without setting up expensive showrooms or shops can start an MLM company.

MLM Company Registration Laws in India

There is no separate law in India that governs the registration or setting up of a Multi-Level Marketing
Company. It was proposed before the Parliament in 2005 but has not yet become a law. However,
certain acts need to be considered before setting up an MLM Company. The following business and
schemes are illegal multi-level marketing in India and cannot be carried out by an MLM company in
India:

A scheme through which an organiser builds a pyramid structure that initiates with one person
representing the tip of the pyramid, also known as the pyramid scheme, is banned in India. It covers the
Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969.
It should not be a money circulation scheme banned under the Prize Chit and Money Circulation
Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.
Government Guidelines for MLM Companies in India
The government has issued guidelines to regulate the sale of services and goods outside of retail
establishments, also known as ‘Direct Selling (Multi-Level Marketing)’ and protect consumers who
purchase services or goods from direct sellers.

The MLM companies need to fulfil the following conditions for permissible direct selling under the
government guidelines:

31st July is the ITR filing deadline

Should be a direct selling entity, having Income Tax, TDS (Tax Deduction at Source), Goods and Service
Tax (GST) number and other required licenses as per the law or regulations of the principal place of
business of the company.
Should have a bank account with a nationalised bank.
The company Memorandum of Association (MOA) should clearly mention the nature of business.
Pay sales incentive at the decided rate within the agreed period.
Should display identification numbers and names of their authorised direct sellers on the official
websites.
Must have a consumer grievance cell ensuring redressal of consumer grievances within seven days from
the date of making complaints.
The website should provide space to register consumer complaints hassle-free.
The government guidelines prohibit the following activities by an MLM company:

Payment of incentive by whatever name unrelated to the respective sales volume.

Distribution or supply of goods with the knowledge that such products or goods exceed validity period
or are inferior as per the manufacturer.
Direct seller or direct selling entity should not indulge in money circulation schemes or any act banned
by the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, I978.
Registration of MLM Company in India
The MLM company should be a separate legal person registered as an LLP under the Limited Liability
Partnership Act, 2008 or as a company under the Companies Act, 2013. The objects in the MOA of the
MLM company should specify the business model as direct selling, deploying direct, single-level or multi-
level marketing compensation plans.

An MLM company should comply with all the applicable statutory formalities of the Central and State
Governments, including taxation laws, Shops and Establishments Act, trade licenses, Legal Metrology
Act, custom duty law, Consumer Protection Act and sector-specific laws.

An MLM company should apply for the IDSA (Indian Direct Selling Association) membership. The IDSA is
not a government body but a private body set up by Amway India. The IDSA is trying to govern all the
problems of the direct selling companies in India and stop illegal and unethical MLM companies and
multi-level network marketing business practices that destroy the MLM business route.

An MLM company should apply for service tax, VAT (Value Added Tax), TAN (Tax Deduction Account
Number), and all necessary licenses and registrations required to manufacture and sell its products. It
should submit the list of products it wants to promote and the compensation plan during the
registration.

Documents Required to be Maintained by MLM Company

An MLM company should maintain the following documents at its head office:

Certificate issued by Registrar of Companies, MOA, Articles of Association and Management and
Operations Memorandum (MOM).
Copies of Director Identification Number (DIN) of directors, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN),
Permanent Account Number (PAN) and TAN
Certificate of GST Registration and copies of GST Returns filed with the authority.
Copies of the IT Returns of the company filed with the authority.
Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) Statements of direct sellers and the respective challans paid.
Copy of the latest profit and loss account, balance sheet and reports of the auditors.
Records of the Know Your Direct Sellers (KYDS) and Know Your Customer (KYC) formats should be
available on the company website.

6 Things to Consider Before Joining a Network Marketing Company
by Catherine Wilkinson | Network Marketing, Start MLM Business

Are you considering joining a network marketing company? There are certain things you should consider
about the company and yourself before. Check out this post to read more.
When you are thinking about joining a network marketing company, there are a number of factors to
consider. Just like with any job, you need to research the company, find out details relating to the job
description and assessing your own skills as a match.

The fantastic news is that network marketing is open to everyone and anyone can learn the skills to be
successful. However, I am going to go against the majority and say that not everyone WILL become
successful or SHOULD join for that matter.

I think many people misunderstand the industry and treat it as a ‘hobby’ not a business. It is absolutely
fine to treat it as a hobby and join a network marketing company for your own discount on products.
But, don’t then expect to be earning $10,000 a month if you aren’t willing to work for it.

If you are looking to run a successful business through a trusted network marketing, not only is it
important to treat network marketing as a business, you also need to ensure your sponsor is as
transparent as possible when it comes to telling you about their company.

I have heard stories where some people have been misled with incorrect information when they have
discussed joining someone’s team within network marketing. It isn’t always intentional, some sponsors
might not know the information themselves, but there have been occasions when sponsors have
exaggerated their own personal income and not being truthful about the effort needing to be put in.

It isn’t until an individual has signed up and read documentation themselves that they realise their
sponsor might not have been 100% honest. This is NOT something that every network marketer does
but I am here, to be honest, and tell you that it can happen and to be aware of it.
Related Post: Read more about my story and how my sponsor introduced me to Network Marketing.

This post may contain affiliate links. These are products or services that I have personally used and
recommend. If you choose to make a purchase using one of my links, this will not cost you any more but
I may receive a small commission, which helps towards my kid’s love for baking biscuits! (and my love
for eating them!!)

This is why I have put together a list of things to consider about yourself AND information you absolutely
MUST find out from the beginning before you think about joining a network marketing company.

Here are 6 Things to Consider Prior to Joining a Network Marketing Company:

Time
Dedication
Network Marketing Company
Products
Compensation Plan
Support

About you

Time
Yes, network marketing is fantastic in that it isn’t your standard 9-5 job, you can choose your own hours
and be flexible with when and how often you work. However, if you truly are serious about building a
successful network marketing business, you need to invest an appropriate amount of time.

Think about it with any industry, such as say I wanted to become a Chef. I would need to learn about
ingredients, how to use knives correctly, hygiene and this is all before I have even started to learn how
to cook! It would take dedication, time and consistency to learn everything I could about this trade and
put it into practice BEFORE I could become a professional Chef.
The same principles apply when you think about network marketing. It is a professional trade. Yet the
great difference when compared to other professions, you have the opportunity to learn on to go. You
already have your business and can earn money WHILST you learn.

Dedication
This point relates to the above in that network marketing isn’t a skill you learn overnight. With any
profession, if you want to become a professional you need to dedicate yourself and devote time and
effort. For example, athletes, Doctors, Pilots and Teachers all work hard and consistently to learn their
profession.

Eric Worre, a top leader within the field of Network Marketing with over 25 years of experience,
explains a formula many network marketers work towards with their business, the 1/3/5/7 formula. He
states that it can take around 1 year to become competent in network marketing and 3 years of part-
time consistent effort to go full time. Within 5 years of consistent effort, you can become a six-figure
earner and in 7 years, you then become an expert. (more details can be found in his book, Go Pro: 7
Steps to Becoming a Network Marketing Professional.)

This point is to show you that it really is possible to reach the top level within your network marketing
company if you are dedicated to putting in consistent time and effort in developing yourself as a person,
your skillset and actioning your training.

It doesn’t mean you have to put in 12 hour days, 7 days a week, hell no! But it does mean you need to
commit, show up and take action.

Ensure to turn up at your companies training sessions, whether this is weekly online calls or monthly in-
person events. Follow in your sponsors’ footsteps, with them leading by example and keep in touch with
them and the activity they are doing. Most importantly, be open to being teachable and willing to listen
to those where you aim to be and learn from them.

About the Company

Network Marketing Company

With 100s of network marketing companies to choose from, it is really important that you take the time
to do your research. Not all network marketing companies will succeed or even stick around for you to
have a stable, growing business. A whopping 90% of companies actually fail within the first 2 years (The
Balances MB).

So it is definitely worth looking at how long the company has been around for, ensuring they have a
good reputation and are a trusted company. You also need to consider what they are selling and
whether these are high-quality products.

Whatever product a network marketing company has to offer needs to be consumable. Simply put, this
just means that once your products are used, your customers will buy them again. For example, say you
sell shampoo. Your customers use the shampoo to wash their hair and once it runs out, they will need to
buy it from you again.

Is there a need for the products you are selling?

This is a pretty important point to consider. A network marketing company will collapse if people do not
have a need for the products they are selling. Using the above example, everyone who has hair needs
shampoo to wash and maintain hygiene. So there will be a continuous market to sell this product to.

Though not quite as important, but I think worth mentioning, you need to consider how BIG you want to
grow your business.

Is the company just based within your home country or are their opportunities to grow your business on
a global level?
Many successful companies have grown substantially and have launched into countries around the
world. This then enables network marketers to grow their own business globally within these countries.

For example, if your company is in America, the UK and Australia, you would be able to build your
business with customers and clients within all three of these countries. With the growth of social media
and easy access to the internet, many network marketers are doing just that, growing their business
globally through social media.

Products
I have already touched base with products in the above point. Just to reiterate, you really need to be
fully informed about the products you would be required to sell as part of your network marketing
business. A large proportion of your earnings as a network marketer are through product sales. Ask
yourself if the products are consumable, high-quality and if there is a market for them?

An area that people don’t consider is how the products will be sold. Each network marketing company
has their own method. Some involve buying and storing stock to sell, others require you to go door to
door with catalogues and many are sold online via your own online shop link provided by the company.
This is a pretty big factor you need to consider.

I personally, would never sign a company that requires you to bulk buy and store stock to sell. I just
don’t have space and do not want to be tied down to one particular area. However, I know of an
extremely successful network marketer who does just that and makes a couple of £1000 a month. You
really need to think about how you would like to run your business and that will help you choose the
right company for you.

You MUST like and use the products yourself.

If I was your customer, I would be asking you questions about your results, what’s your favourite
product and why. It is really important, to be honest with your customers, they will know if you are
lying.

Another point is that it really is ok if you don’t like a product your company sells. If your company sells
500 different products, nobody expects you to have tried and like every single one of them.

But you need to be genuine and honest to your customers if you have or haven’t used a product and
your personal experiences. There is no point even joining a company if you don’t like what you would be
selling, you’ll just grow to resent it.

Compensation Plan
Every network marketing company should have a detailed compensation plan. This will clearly outline
every single promotional level they offer, what you need to do to reach each level, your own discounts,
how much you need to personally purchase each month and any additional bonuses on offer. Make sure
you read this through with a fine-tooth comb.

You need to know what you are signing up for if it is realistic and clearly laid out.

Within the company, each consultant should be given an equal opportunity from the onset to achieve
each promotional level. The only difference being, in the consult’s efforts NOT in the opportunity
presented to them. Finding all of this information out will also help to ensure the information your
sponsor is telling you is accurate and up to date.

Support
When you start any new job, it can feel overwhelming learning new skills, background about the
company, tasks to complete and meetings to attend. Network marketing is just the same and it is really
important that you start your business alongside someone who will hold your hand every step of the
way in the beginning.
Your sponsor should be your guide, teaching you how to do things, where to find information on your
companies website and who to contact in case or order issues etc. Just a note though, your sponsor is
not there to do it for you. It is your business to grow as quickly or slowly as you choose. But your
sponsor will be there to support your growth in any way they can.

You also need to be aware of if your company provides any additional support to help your business. Do
they host any local training sessions or information evenings? Where can you find their ingredients
policy? Are there any materials to help you with social media such as images or training on what to say
to prospective clients and customers? Your sponsor will be able to show you where to find these details
initially but it is worth asking before you sign up to a company.

Some network marketing companies also have a head office within each country they are trading in. This
is fantastic if your company has one. Even better, ask your sponsor if there is a dedicated support team
for network marketers to contact relating to any order issues/information.

For example, what happens if an order is delayed or part of a customers order is missing? All these finer
details need straightening out and answering to help you make an informed decision. If your sponsor
does not know the answer to a question, that’s ok but give them time to find out and come back to you.

These are a couple of factors I would really love for you to take into consideration before you join a
network marketing company. This list is not extensive but provides clear points that I consider important
to think about. Choosing the right network marketing company for you can really make all the difference
between loving and hating network marketing.

Working within network marketing is fantastic, there are so many benefits, especially the opportunities
to grow a successful business and grow yourself.

I liked it when you said how you should have a guide instructing you on how to do things, where to find
details on your corporation’s website, and who to reach in case or order an issue.

My partner and I are looking to join a networking business offered to us by our friend that will
commence next week; I’m glad I came across this article and learned what to consider when joining the
company.

I will share this with my partner and see how this can help us decide who and when to contact a
networking service before joining.

Top Tips to Grow your Network Marketing Business Using Social Media
by Catherine Wilkinson | Grow MLM Business, Network Marketing, Work from Home Opportunities

Grow network marketing using social media

Are you using social media as part of your business plan to help you grow your network marketing
business? If not, why not!

Social Media right now is one of the most valuable marketing assets for any brand, and it’s especially
true for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

It’s easily accessible, millions of people are using it on a daily basis, and, without using paid advertising,
it’s a free way to market your business.
But the question I hear most often from network marketers isn’t whether or not to use social media, it’s
how to use it effectively in order to grow their MLM business.

In order to answer this question in detail, let’s first take a look at the benefits of using social media and a
closer look at each platform.

tips grow MLM business with social media

There are affiliate links used on this page. If you use any of the following links to make a purchase, I may
earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. I do not make any recommendations for products
which I have not personally had a positive experience using. Read my full affiliate disclosure here.

Why Use Social Media?

In a nutshell, utilizing social media for your MLM business provides you with access to a much larger
audience than say if you were to attend a face to face event.

Millions of people use social media on a daily basis. They look for answers to their problems, ways to
make money online, family-friendly recipes, eco-friendly products, and more.

Which Social Media Platform to Use?

Each social media platform can help you to grow your network marketing business, but not each
platform should be used in the same way.
For example, if you are a Beach body coach and focus on supporting mums to get fit from home, you
probably aren’t going to find your ideal audience hangs out on LinkedIn. It’s more likely that your
audience, mums at home, spend their social media time on Facebook or Instagram.

So, it would be most worth your time sharing your recipes, healthy tips, and live exercises on these two
platforms.

In order to know which platform (s) will work best for your niche, you need to start with who your ideal
audience is.

Who are you looking to support?

What questions do they have?
Where do they hand out?
How can you offer them a solution to their problems?

Let’s discuss the different social media channels and their place in Network Marketing:

Facebook
The most evergreen social media platform, and still the most popular. Facebook works with almost
every target audience. Your customer is probably on it, so is her mother and grandmother and her
husband and uncles.

If you have a wide audience group, then focus on Facebook. I usually suggest starting with Facebook,
and then expanding to other social media channels as you grow.

Some tips to grow on Facebook:

Create and grow a Facebook group to interact and engage with your audience more personally.
Join other Facebook groups where your audience is, and interact with them, answering their questions
and growing your authority.
Grow your friend’s list. People watch your MLM journey from behind the scenes. You never know who is
silently watching. If they are on your friend’s list, seeing your growth and gaining more exposure to your
business, they then have an easy way to reach out to you if they are interested in the future.

Twitter
Twitter is a social media platform that is dominated by males. There are two males for every female on
the platform, and the average age of these users is between 30-50 years.

So, if your target audience is males between the age of 30-50, then Twitter’s the place you should be on.

Some tips to grow your network marketing business on Twitter:

Post 1-2 times a day

Use relevant hashtags and create content around trending hashtags
Engage with others. Reply, Retweet and tag.
Find your audience and follow them.

Instagram
Instagram is definitely one of the most popular social media networks and it seems to be growing. It’s
one of the best platforms for organic growth, meaning you don’t have to invest in ads.

Instagram has a higher female userbase, and most of them are between the ages of 18-34 years. So if
you are aiming to reach a younger female audience, then get active on Instagram.

Grow your Instagram following by:

Post 1-2 times a day

Be personal. Focus on lifestyle posts
Use relevant hashtags.
Engage with your target audience. Follow them and comment on their posts.
Post a new story daily.

Pinterest
Pinterest is my personal favourite. Even though technically it is more similar to Google as a pictorial
search engine, I’m still going to include it in this list as it’s incredibly valuable.

70% of the users on Pinterest are women, and the majority of these are below the age of 40.

People come to Pinterest for ideas and inspiration. So if you’re going to use Pinterest, fuel their
imagination. If you’re selling a skincare brand, post about skincare regime and tips.

Many network marketers shy away from Pinterest because it isn’t quite like other social media
platforms. Don’t worry it’s not so difficult, and I end up having so much fun on Pinterest. I’ve done a
detailed post on how you can grow on Pinterest.

Snap Chat
Snap Chats for the younger audience. Most Snap Chat users are between the age of 12-24. Females
dominate the platform more than men.

Snapchat can be a good idea if you are always on it, and know how to navigate through it. Even if you
aren’t, you’ll be happy to know it isn’t as saturated as the rest of the social media platforms. There’s a
great chance you’ll make it big on Snapchat if you get in and start generating good, useful content. Even
silly would do, if it’s entertaining to your target audience.

TikTok
Yes, I’ve put TikTok in here. Hear me out before you discard it off.
Tik Tok isn’t something most businesses consider as a marketing platform. And that’s exactly why it’s
best for network marketing. Get your users to interact with you on an informal platform. Engage with
them and build a connection. Selling will come easier after that.

Top Tips to Grow Your Network Marketing Business Using Social Media
When it comes to social media, most of us are often using at least one social media channel on a daily
basis. We know how it works mostly, don’t we?

But, there is a distinct difference in using social media as a hobby compared with trying to grow your
business.

Make sure to read and review the following top tips which will help you to use social media
professionally in order to grow your network marketing business.

Consistent and Professional Image

I would recommend hiring a professional photographer and getting a few shots of yourself. The photo
should be of you, not your company logo, and not your pet or baby but YOU.

That’s because a picture of you looks more personal. People relate more with people than with brands.
It makes them think the brand is being used by people like them.

Another reason I suggest putting up your own picture is that when promoting a network marketing
business, you should always always brand yourself.
So, if for instance, you were to leave the company or the company goes out of business, you don’t have
to start from scratch with your next MLM brand. Also, you can add more brands to your business. You
could branch into skincare from fitness easily if you keep it about you and not just the brand.

And it also looks less spammy.

Don’t Spam
MLMs get a bad name because of just that. And it doesn’t work. Put yourself in the same position. When
someone keeps posting or messaging you to join their team, it gets annoying after a time.

And nobody buys from an annoying salesperson, so avoid:

Sending DMs to people who messaged you once to just get to know you.
Tagging everyone on your friend list whenever you post.
Auto DMs. They look impersonal and get annoying with time.
Share everything on your personal profile. Not everyone on your personal profile is your target
audience. And when you target anyone and everyone, you look spammy.

Attract, Not Repel

The worst thing you can do to sabotage your network marketing business is selling. Okay, yes you are in
the business to sell, but there are better ways to do them.

And that’s attraction marketing.

If you have been in the network marketing business for some time, you already know how that works.
Attraction marketing is basically making your brand so attractive that your customers come to you. You
don’t have to go running after them.

So, how do we do that?

Let me tell you a story. There was a girl in my high school. Let’s call her the Cheerleader. The
Cheerleader was a highly sought figure in the entire middle school. Everyone was under her magic. If she
tried on a new brand of gloss, within a week almost every girl carried that lip gloss in her bag.

Even though the cheerleader wasn’t selling anything, girls were still buying it. She was attracting people
with her lifestyle, and her choices.

My point is don’t push your product. Show them a lifestyle they will aspire for.

Build Curiosity
This is one tip that most network marketers are not following, and it can be your ticket to big growth on
social media.

Here’s my biggest secret tip: Never mention the name of your network marketing brand on social media.
Don’t do it.

What you should do instead is build up curiosity. Post about results and feedback. Post tips and reviews.
Humour them. Inform them.

Let the customers think, ‘What brand is she using?’

That’s when your customer will come to you. You don’t even have to go to the customer.
Start A Relationship
Have you ever made a friend on social media?

If you haven’t, then start now. Start making new friends. Start expanding your network, because you are
eventually going to market your brand to that same network.

Here’s a little thing you can do to jump-start that relationship process.

Start by making your profile public. Make it easier for people to become your friends. Now choose a
group, and post a question. Something that’s easy for people to answer and get the dialogue going.

Some questions you can ask are:

What’s your biggest fear?

Would you rather hike in the mountains or lay down on the beach?
What are you most thankful for today?
What’s the one thing you want to accomplish this week/month?
If there’s anything you could change about last month, what would it be?
Your favourite skincare tip.

When asking questions, try to make them relevant to your industry and niche. Or to your audience.

When people respond to those messages, reply. Start a dialogue. Make friends. Add those people to
your friend list.

Understand that people won’t buy from you the minute they see you. Research shows that most of your
customers will come to you after at least 3 contacts with you on any social media platform.
A quick important reminder to make here, you are not just adding friends so that you can immediately
spam them with your products and why they should join your team.

The idea of adding new friends to your friend’s list is just that, to build new connections and make new
friends.

People do not want to be contacted on social media just for you to immediately sell them your products.
They want to make a connection with you, have an honest conversation.

But, whilst they are on your friend’s list, they can then see your lifestyle, what it is you are doing, and
how you are helping others.

It goes a long way if you build a genuine connection with someone, rather than use them as your next
potential team member.

Adding people and immediately trying to make a sale with them is an outdated and quite frankly, an
appalling tactic many MLM companies used to teach.

What to Post
If you haven’t created a posting strategy before, you might be confused about what should I post on my
social media as a network marketer.

Here’s what you can post:

Informative Posts
Think of something that will provide informative value to your followers. Keep it relevant to your MLM
industry. For instance, if you are selling protein powder, you can compare how one glass of the protein
shake compares with a meal or a shake from say, Starbucks.

Humour Posts
Who doesn’t love a bit of humour in their life? Humour posts generate a lot of interest. You can share a
short video clip of a stand-up comedy of something that will relate to your audience.

Or share a meme or a humorous anecdote.

New Offers and Products

Every MLM rolls out new offers and products and when they do, inform your users of that product. Talk
about its uses and benefits. Tell them how it solves one of their problems.

Tips
We are always looking for tips to make our lives easier, right? Think of the life hack videos you have
watched, and even tried.

Give tips relevant to your industry. Give them recipes. Find out what problems they are having with your
product and try to solve it for them.

Reviews and Feedback

Got a good review of one of your products. Create a graphic of that feedback. A simple graphic text on
Canva would do and put it on your social media for your audience to see.

It shows them that the results are possible. And those reviews go a long way to convince your customer
to buy from you.
Giveaways
Giveaways are a great way to increase your following also. It’s also a great way to get your products out
in the market and get honest feedback about them.

Get your followers to add new people to the page by hosting these giveaways. Give them something
worthwhile, and don’t make them jump through too many hoops to get to the prize. For most people,
tagging ten friends and liking all your social media pages to get a gift card of your MLM company is
probably not worth it.

And when you host a giveaway, offer your best products. You want your winner to love the product, and
promote you genuinely amongst her friends and family.

Don’t Be Everywhere
You’ll spread yourself thin. Think of 1 or 2 social media platforms that suit you and most importantly
your audience, and stay on these platforms.

Many network marketers make the mistake of opening accounts on all social media platforms in their
excitement. And once that excitement dies down, so does all activity on most of those accounts.

And when activity stops, people assume that you aren’t in business any longer.
Say, for instance, your audience is active on Instagram. She hears about you from a friend or in a group
and then tries to search for you. Then she sees you aren’t posting any longer and has less than 10 posts,
what do you think her impression about you and your brand will be?

I know it’s not going to be impressive enough to get her to buy from you.

So, keep that impression and focus your energies on one social media platform. This will give you time to
focus on your business as well.

Follow Your Competition

Always keep a close eye on your competition. On social media, there are two reasons for that. You will
get to understand what strategy is working. How they are interacting with customers and what edge you
can offer your customers over that of your competition. Review and replicate the good strategy.

Also, your competition is your inspiration. See what content is working for them, and adopt the same on
your social media.

10 Powerful Tips to Succeed in Network Marketing
Network marketing is more popularly called ‘Pyramid Marketing’ and it’s a concept where you run your
own agency, sell products, grow, and recruit more members along the way. You even train them and
take a tiny commission. The dream of every network marketer is to get full-time benefits from part-time
work and although we’re not saying it’s impossible, it does take work.

10 Powerful Tips to Succeed in Network Marketing

Interested in networking marketing? We’re glad you stopped by. Here are 10 powerful network
marketing tips for guaranteed success that smash those business goals and get you the results you want.

Tips for Successful Network Marketing

1. Be Serious
Don’t treat it like a joke. Your business is your soul and not a mere hobby. It starts with the right mindset
and if you’re willing to succeed, you have to be willing to make sacrifices. That means spending more
time investing in yourself, networking with your industry peers, studying up on the latest trends and
applying them. Because knowledge is useless without application.

2. Don’t Treat Your Friends Like Business Prospects

Your friends could turn out to be your most valuable inputs or customers, but that’s a natural process
and not one you want to force. If your gut tells you not to sell a product to a friend or pitch it, don’t do
it. It only makes things worse and they can tell. Use your judgment and don’t blindly follow what your
network marketing class tells you. Learn and tweak what you learn in a way that works for you.

3. Use Social Media

Social Media is like your ultimate marketing vehicle in the cyberspace and a proven kind of network
marketing success formula. In real life, finding new team members to recruit can be difficult. But with
social media, you could work your way towards building a dream team you want. Invest in paid
advertising and actively connect with your audience so that you deliver value. Start with any two
platforms and stick to mastering them – like Facebook and LinkedIn. Because you don’t want to be a jack
of all trades and master of none when it comes to the digital side of your network marketing.

4. Invest in a Mentor
Investing in a mentor is a big YES. You want someone who has been there, done that and is still growing.
Why? Because when you’re first starting out, there are a lot of things you’ll have to figure out. Mentors
know that and they also know what it takes to cut through the clutter and get stuff done. It’s like
achieving 80% results with 20% productive and focused effort. Want that? Get a mentor.

5. Have a Growth Mindset

We’ve talked about mindset above but here’s the difference with this one – it’s not just about being
serious but having a growth mentality. What do we mean? You have to be positive even if the odds are
stacked against you. You have to believe in yourself, not be afraid of failing, and keep pushing until you
get to the point you want. Most people fail and give up when they’re on a losing streak. Be different and
you’ll achieve what you want, is what we say.

Tips for Network Marketing

6. Be Consistent
Consistency is the key to discipline and getting the results you want. You can be successful as a network
marketer if you’re successful as a human being. There are many things out there that you have to learn
about. But that won’t happen if you don’t stay consistent. The more consistency, the more results, and
the more results, the more doors open up for you.

7. Use Automation Tools

From scheduling posts to sending newsletters, reminders and other MLM strategies for network
marketing success, use automation tools in your network marketing efforts to free up time and get really
productive. These days, things like Artificial Intelligence, chatbots, and social handle management suites
make communicating with your prospects a lot easier. You’ll be saving time, making more sales, and the
best part? You’ll be loving every minute of it.

8. Do Your Research
When you’re getting into network marketing, you have to make sure you sell products you are
absolutely passionate about. Tie up with brands who have similar interests as you and do your research
such as looking into the company’s compensation schemes.

9. Be Real
When you’re marketing your products or services, make sure you be real and stay real. Be genuine to
your customers about what you’re offering and never oversell. Nothing turns away people from you
when you advertise flashily or look desperate. Explain the pros and cons, show the good and the bad,
and let people decide.

10. Prepare to Sponsor

While you let new recruits join in on the action, you don’t want to invite a huge crowd. Sponsor a select
few who are trustworthy, mentor and train them in your products and services, and give them the
environment to grow and thrive in.

Yes, you’ll be making a cut from the profits but it’s only after they succeed. The more they succeed, the
more you win and the reality is, you’re actually helping them get off the ground and running miles.
Making those sales through network marketing is doable but only if you do it right. Take note of these
above tips, use them to the fullest, and you’ll surely see results. And lastly, make sure to constantly keep
learning and keep up with the trends. Learn from others’ mistakes and try innovative ways of
entertaining and generating new leads. You want your marketing efforts not only to yield rewards but
also to be fun.

How to build a successful MLM business in 8 simple steps
March 10, 2019 Ross Crawford

Building a business of any kind is tough, and a lot can be learnt through experience, but what if you
could learn from others who have ‘been there and done it’? Here, we take our learnings from several
successful network marketers and summarise them into 8 simple tips to building a successful MLM
business.

1. JOIN A COMPANY WITH PRODUCTS/SERVICES YOU WILL USE, AND YOU BELIEVE IN
When most people see a network marketing business opportunity for the first time, it’s the first time
they have been introduced to the MLM industry. With the MLM industry offering significant income
potential and the offer of freedom, it’s easy for people to focus on those and believe that the company
first exposing them to the industry is the right company for them. It’s rare for a person to go and
research other companies in the industry to find the one that offers the products or services it most
believes it, but this research will pay off as you will find it much easier sharing products/services and a
business opportunity that you are genuinely passionate about.

2. IDENTIFY AND UNDERSTAND WHO YOU ARE TARGETING

The key is in the name – network ‘marketing’. Marketing is a key part of growing any business, and in
particular, an MLM business, and marketing is all about delivering the right message, to the right person,
at the right time. To achieve this, you must first identify who you are trying to target and understand
their behaviours and interests. This means, don’t try to offer everything to everyone, that approach
won’t work.

3. SHARE YOUR PRODUCTS/SERVICES AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY EVERY DAY WITHOUT FAIL
This is an obvious one, but it’s extremely common for business owners to focus on either their
product/services or the business opportunity and forget about the other. But, to grow large successful
MLM business, you need to focus on both, and that means talking about them EVERY DAY!

4. BE GENUINE
Don’t be one of the reasons the industry gets a bad name; be sincere and genuine in everything you do;
your approach, the information you give and your personal experiences and results. False claims or
exaggerations of any kind will not help you, your business or the industry.

5. DON’T BOMBARD YOUR CONTACTS

Bombarding your contacts will only ruin your chances of them joining the business or buying your
products/services. Focus on sharing your successes as well as case studies of your products/services and
let your contacts ask you about questions. Create curiosity, and they will ask you to tell them more; far
more effective than you forcing it upon them.

6. SET CLEAR GOALS FOR ALL ACTIVITY

Every successful business started with goals, and MLM businesses aren’t any different! Having goals
enables you to track progress and hold yourself accountable so make sure you set clear achievable goals
for all of your activity; events, prospecting, team trainings, etc…

7. SELL SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS

We understand you’re trying to sell your products and services, but remember to sell them as a solution
to a problem. This approach is super affected and, it keeps your conversations with your contacts super
relevant. Listening to your contacts’ problems and offering them solutions will make the sales process
seem effortless.

8. DEVELOP DUPLICATABLE PROCESSES

The whole MLM industry relies on duplicatable methods so make sure the tactics, tools and processes
you use in your business are easily duplicatable so you can train them down as you grow your team.

Hopefully, you’ve found these 8 tips for building a successful network marketing business useful. Please
feel free to share them with your friends.

Download PDF 18 Feb 2018 82,125 Views 55 comments CS Mohit Saluja Page Contents What is Multi-
Level Marketing Company (MLM Company)? Why It Is Called Direct Selling Why Indian Laws Against
MLM Companies Government guidelines for MLM companies in India Basic MLM Guidelines by the
Governments are as follows: What is Multi-Level Marketing Company (MLM Company)? MLM (Multi-
level marketing company) is a marketing promotional strategy in which a sales person sells the products
or services for particular MLM business and recruits new sales promoters under his/ her downline to
further sales of products and services. this is a system of marketing in which a hierarchal pattern is
followed where The sales promoters are organized in a pyramid structure. The aim of salesman is just
not to sell the product, but also to lure some more people to carry on the chain of selling the product
further, and the chain goes on and on. Here the profits of the initial salesperson continuously increase as
the chain grows on. This is also known as multi-level marketing, network marketing, matrix marketing,
etc. Why It Is Called Direct Selling Direct Selling is an alternate form of distributing products and
services. Instead of using traditional distribution channel (manufacturer – distributor – wholesaler –
retailer – consumer), Direct Selling companies sell their products and services directly to consumers.
That is why it is called ‘Direct Selling’. When these consumers or customers like their products and
services, naturally they start sharing it with others. Direct Selling companies pay you when people buy
their products and services from your recommendation. But the awesomeness doesn’t stop there, you
are given an option to build a team of distributors (generally consisting of happy consumers
recommended by you and those you recommend and those they recommend and so on…). Contrary to
common misconception, you are not paid to recruit people, you are paid depending on the total sales
volume generated by your entire team. Instead of spending money on traditional advertisements &
other marketing methods, Direct Selling companies rewards their consumers turned distributors for
their word of mouth advertisement effort. Unfortunately, most people are unaware of the clear
definition of this industry, and frequently confuse it with pyramid schemes recruiting people to earn
money. ADVERTISEMENT Ads by How to Start MLM Business To start a new MLM company you need to
register the company under the specific Act of your country law and follow the guidelines of the law and
also discuss with your Company Secretary for certification and other formalities. Decide the products or
services you want to sale and choose the best MLM compensation plan as per your business strategy.
There are various types of MLM plan in MLM business industry like Forced Matrix, Binary Plan,
Australian Binary, Stair-Step Plan, Uni-Level Plan, Generation Plan, Board MLM Plan etc. Why Indian
Laws Against MLM Companies There is a law made for regulating chit fund and money circulations in
India which is “The Prize Chits And Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978”. This ACT is Made
TO BAN THE PROMOTION OR CONDUCT OF PRIZE CHITS AND MONEY CIRCULATION According to this
law money circulation scheme means any scheme, by whatever name called, for the making of quick or
easy money, or for the receipt of any money or valuable thing as the consideration for a promise to pay
money, on any event or contingency relative or applicable to the enrolment of members into the
scheme, whether or not such money or thing is derived from the entrance money of the members of
such scheme or periodical subscriptions Government guidelines for MLM companies in India To

against the MLM Business since, it is the basis of providing employment opportunities to a large no. of
people but since, the government has seen a no of business concerns doing the business of CHIT Fund
Companies etc., hence, it keeps an eye over such MLM Business. But if any of the MLM company go by
the laws of the State and does his business in a systematic way, there are no restrictions all around. The
author is a company secretary in Practice and legal consultants and with a no. of MLM companies and
hence written this article on basis of his experience being earned from such companies and can be

What is Network Marketing? Types, Working & Examples
Utsav MishraJun 19, 2021
What is Network Marketing? Types, Working & Examples title banner
Marketing, the word itself has several images floating with it. When we hear this word, we think about
shops, big businesses, everything. We start thinking from the smallest grocery shop in our area and end
up at the IT firms providing services and manufacturing new software to internet marketing. All the
things that come in between these thousands of thoughts come under marketing.

Like all the other things, marketing too with time has evolved a lot. It's not just limited to buyers, sellers,
salesmen, and businessmen. It has transformed rapidly with time. New types of marketing have evolved,
new ways have come up, expanding the territory of marketing.

One such type of marketing is Network Marketing. In this blog, we are going to focus on the same.
Network Marketing

Network marketing is a business concept that grows a company by relying on a network of distributors.
To create money usually entails the use of three fundamental types of systematic strategies: lead
generation, hiring, and building and management. Network marketing is divided into three categories:
single-tier, two-tier, and multi-level.

Simply speaking, Network marketing is a business concept that relies on independent agents selling to
other people, generally from their homes. You may need to develop a network of business partners or
salespeople to help you generate leads and close sales if you start a network marketing firm.

Terms related to Network Marketing

Direct Sales: Network marketing companies promote and sell their products directly to customers,
rather than through a well-defined distribution channel. The participants are given the job of selling the
items, and they are paid a commission for each sale they make.

Entrepreneurs that are self-employed (IBO): The participants are referred to as IBOs since they act as if
they are running their own company.

Distributor: Most multi-level marketing companies refer to their members as distributors rather than
salespeople.

Downline: Members recruited by the distributor or fresh recruits registered by these members make up
the distributor's downline. All distributors profit from their downline sales.

Upline: All distributors in the hierarchy above a member's personal sponsor. All the way up to the Head
of Sales is the upline. On sales made by downline partners, all distributors in the upline get a
commission.
Plan: It Makes a list of all the many methods salespeople may earn money. The plan also demonstrates
how pay varies based on sales volume and the number of partners recruited. For their staff, reputable
organizations make the strategy as open as feasible.

Sponsorship: A person who brings in a new employee to the company.

Recruit or collaborate: An individual who is brought into the company by a sponsor. The sponsor is
compensated for the sales of the partner.

What are the Types of Network Marketing?

Network marketing functions on different tiers. This makes three types of it-

Single-tier Network Marketing

Two-tier Network Marketing

Multi-level Network Marketing

Single-tier Network Marketing

You join a company's affiliate program to sell its products or services through single-tier network
marketing. You don't need to recruit other distributors, and direct sales are your only source of income.
Avon, a well-known cosmetics firm, employs single-tier networking marketing.
Some internet affiliate schemes pay you for driving traffic to the affiliate's website. Single-tier
networking also includes pay-per-click (PPC) and pay-per-lead (PPL) affiliate schemes.

Two-tier Network Marketing

Two-tier network marketing, unlike single-tier network marketing, requires some recruitment, but your
compensation isn't entirely dependent on it. You get compensated for direct sales (or traffic driven to a
website) as well as direct sales or recommended traffic generated by affiliates or distributors you choose
to work for you.

Multi-level Network Marketing

Some direct sales organizations employ multi-level marketing (MLM) to encourage existing distributors
to recruit new distributors in exchange for a portion of their recruits' sales. The recruits are the
"downline" of the distributor. Distributors also profit from direct product sales to clients.

Amway, a well-known multilevel marketing organization that offers health, beauty, and home care
items, is an example of a well-known direct sales organization.

How does Network Marketing work?

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), cellular marketing, affiliate marketing, consumer-direct marketing,

referral marketing, and home-based business franchising are all terms used to describe network
marketing.
Network marketing companies frequently construct layers of salespeople, in which salespeople are
incentivized to recruit their own networks of salespeople.

The persons who start a new tier (or "upline") get paid commission on their own sales as well as the
sales of the individuals in the tier they started (the "downline").

With time, a new tier may emerge, providing additional commission to the top tier as well as the
intermediate tier.

The earning of a member of network marketing depends on the sale of the product as well as on the
recruiting.

Any person joining the network marketing team goes through two processes: the first one is training and
the other one is sales.

Training

The first step after joining is to become the distributor of the company i.e. you will be the one selling the
products from now.

Because the business entails selling and recruiting distributors, the firm you are joining or your sponsor
will offer you comprehensive product and sales training.

To assist you in getting started with the company, the Company supplies you with thorough product
information as well as promotional items such as advertising materials and Marcom tools.

You'll learn about the intricacies of your company's product line, the quality and safety requirements
that they satisfy, how they compare to the competition, what inquiries to expect from customers, and
solutions to commonly asked inquiries, among other things.
Most of the companies provide sales training along with the training to recruit new people, generally
they organize a short workshop for that.

Sales

You are ready to begin working when the Company has instructed you on selling, product knowledge,
and equipped you with the necessary tools and supplies, as well as a startup package. Your sponsor will
be available during your training and will also assist you in getting started with the business.

Prospecting or making a list of prospects, qualifying the prospects, making an appointment with the
prospects, meeting them and making a presentation of the MLM business proposal, answering
questions and assisting them in making a decision to join the network, and following up with them on a
regular basis for a positive decision will now be part of your sales process.

The process continues with them signing up as distributors, receiving product training, selling, and
supplying them with tools, marketing materials, and a beginning kit, as well as inspiring and working
with them to help them grow their network.

You'll strive to increase retail sales in addition to hiring and developing your distributor network. Making
a list of prospects for retail sales includes your family, friends, neighbors, and the local community, as
well as your coworkers, your firm, and other firms with which you have known contacts. This is how a
simple Network Marketing business model functions.

Examples (Case studies) of Network Marketing

Tupperware

It is one of the most well-known multi-level marketing organizations in the world. The brand, which was
founded in the United States in 1938, has become associated with its whole product category – plastic
food storage containers – to a degree only equaled by firms with traditional distribution methods like
Scotch tape or Hoover vacuum cleaners. Every minute, approximately 40 Tupperware parties are held
throughout the world.

Avon

It is a cosmetics company with millions of sale agents and a $3.63 billion yearly revenue in 2020. It is one
of the world's largest multi-level marketing firms. Avon Products, Inc. was purchased by Natura & Co, a
cosmetics company that also owns The Body Shop, in early 2020.

Herbalife

It is a multi-level marketing company that sells dietary supplements. It was founded in 1980 in California
and today has about millions independent distributors globally.

Amway

Amway is the world's largest network marketing corporation, with about $8.5 billion revenue in the year
2020. Since its founding in Michigan in 1959, the company has grown to over 3 million representatives
selling health, beauty, and home care products in over 100 countries.

Advantages of Network marketing

There are no restrictions on the size of a network marketing organization. This occurs because
businesses may form partnerships with a large number of people to become distributors. Distributors
can also work together with other sub-distributors to increase the company's sales.

Companies do not need to rely on advertising to advertise their products since they have a solid and
powerful distribution network that engages customers directly.

(Must read: B2C Marketing Strategies)

Distributor structure also affects retailer profit margins, which are considered an expenditure by firms.
These profit margins are passed on to distributors, and the corporations are relieved of their financial
load.

Another benefit is that corporations do not have to spend as much money on storage and delivery as
they once did. This is due to the fact that distributors are responsible for these costs.

Distributors can make an endless amount of money from their business transactions with the
organization because of this framework. They can make money from both their own earnings and
commissions.

To sum up, Network Marketing is one of its kind marketing techniques. People involved in it find it
unique and believe that the market is expanding at an amazing pace. In the near future, we might be
able to witness some drastic expansions of the network marketing world. Till then, we can witness a
happy growth of it.

3 Tips for Building an Unstoppable Network Marketing Business
April 20, 2020
omar-lopez-0-uzdU3gUYw-unsplash
Whether you’re new to network marketing or are a network marketing pro, your top priority is to make
your business a success. The level of success you wish to reach depends on your goals. Some network
marketers reaching for the sky and others simply hoping to have some extra cash each month.
Regardless, most people don’t get into the network marketing business with an expiration date. You
want to succeed for as long as possible and master your business.

In order to master your business, you have to master relationship marketing.

What is relationship marketing?

Relationship marketing involves growing your business by building relationships with the people you
know and, eventually, the people who are introduced to you by the people you know. It’s the opposite
of traditional sales methods, which involve aggressively selling your products and services to everyone
you know, even if they’ve said they’re not interested.
Relationship marketing is the opposite. The intention is to develop your relationships with the people in
your network through service and care, and if you can make a sale, that’s great. The focus isn’t on
merely selling your products; it’s about finding ways to solve the problems your network is facing and
being of service to them. Instead of annoying the people you know and love, you build them up and find
ways to make their days. It’s a far more positive experience than the traditional network marketing
route that many people take, especially when they first start out in the industry.

Network marketing can be a difficult industry for many people, even if they have the best intentions.
While there’s no guarantee that you’ll succeed, you can increase your chances by following these three
tips.

Build your relationships

At its core, network marketing is a relationship business. You tap into your relationships – from your
close relatives to people you know tangentially through your children’s school – to sell more and more
products and services so you can build your business. However, traditional sales methods take this
concept off-track. They put the focus on selling products instead of on helping the people in your
network.

With relationship marketing, the focus is on building your relationships with the people in your network.
Instead of seeing them as the next sale, you see them as the next person whose life you can improve.
You believe in your products and services – in short, your business – and you see it as a way to help and
improve people’s lives.

Honing a heart to serve

Relationship marketing appeals to people who have a heart for service. That is, they want to serve and
help other people. They care about the people in their network . They may have started their network
marketing businesses with the intention of helping the people they care about the most. Basically, if
your goal is to get rich quick, relationship marketing may not be for you.

Help and service are also central to relationship marketing. For too long, people felt like marks when
their network marketing friends came around to try to sell them on the next ‘brilliant’ product. They
may have even purchased an item or two in the beginning. However, over time the relationship soured
when they realized that the only time they heard from their friend was when they needed a sale. That
would annoy anyone!

Relationship marketing nurtures your relationships by making the relationship the priority. Your network
understands that you genuinely care about them and wish to help. Since relationships take time to build,
building a network marketing business takes time. It takes commitment to your business and the
relationships you serve. It also takes consistency to follow up with people with a short message. The
messages aren’t long and don’t involve selling at all; their intention is to make the day of the person
who receives it. This allows you to build trust while creating opportunities to serve. Sometimes you can
serve by telling them about a product you sell that is sure to solve the problem you’re facing. Other
times, you’ll serve by connecting them to another person in your network who can help. This shows that
you see them as more than a sale, but as a person as well.
Leverage your time
Life is busy. Your day is likely full of tasks and activities to do, whether you work full or part-time, stay
home with your kids, etc. Often, people start their network marketing businesses with thoughts of riches
and success dancing in their heads; however, they may forget that there’s still a lot of work involved.
You have to work on your business if you want to enjoy the fruits of your business.

If you come from a traditional 9 to 5 job, you may think that you need to work on your business 8 hours
a day. This is totally false. In fact, you can work on your business for one dedicated hour a day and reap
the benefits of a thriving business. You see, most people who put a lot of time into their businesses
aren’t using their time productively. Sure, they’re keeping in touch with people, but there may not be a
rhyme or reason to it.

Power Hour
At Teamzy, we advocate a 60 minute Power Hour daily (although to be fair, most folks get it all done in
less than an hour). During this time you’ll contact the people who you are due to follow up with. The list
of people to check in with is based on how you’d rate them in your network. For example, you’d contact
someone who’s purchased from you and is a great customer far more often than you’d contact
someone who expressed vague interest in your product a few months ago. While you may contact that
person once or twice a year, you’d contact your best customers much more often. This helps you build a
stronger relationship and provide a higher level of service to the people who make up the foundation of
your business.

Prioritize your business

Sure, you know you have to work on your business daily; however, things come up and if you’re like
many network marketers, your business falls slowly down your list of priorities. That’s no way to build a
strong, lasting business.

At Teamzy, we encourage you to put your business first and offer tips to help you make it a reality. It’s
one thing to say your business is important; however, if you want to succeed, it’s crucial to do the daily
activities (like your Power Hour) that make your business a priority.

And, since we know you’re busy, Teamzy’s Dashboard gives you the list of people to call as well as some
scripts to use to get the conversation started, whether you’re messaging them for the first time or you
go way back to the sandbox. There are scripts for every type of relationship and situation, from the first
message to follow up messages to whoops, let’s get back in touch messages. You’ll always come out
looking like a star to your new and existing customers, prospects, and distributors.

Grow your network marketing business

When you commit to your business by doing your daily Power Hours and you focus on building
relationships with the people in your network, your business is sure to grow. Not only that, but you’ll
also find that you enjoy working on your business. After all, you get to live your purpose and help people
while becoming closer and more connected to the people you enjoy. There’s nothing better than that!
What’s better than doing what you love every single day?
“Our passion is helping independent business owners operate more effectively and efficiently so they
can help more people and make more money, enjoyably.”

– Teamzy
It doesn’t hurt that you’ll begin to make more money along the way. You won’t feel shame or
awkwardness going back to customers and discussing your business with them because you haven’t
burned any bridges. Your relationship with them becomes stronger with each message you send. They
know that you have their best interests at heart and are eager to help you grow your business, whether
it’s by buying your products or services, introducing you to their friends who may benefit from your
business, or joining your team themselves. That’s right, they may see the success you’re achieving by
working from the heart and wish to emulate it themselves. You can have a positive impact on the people
you care about by living according to your mission and values.

What is Network Marketing? Questions to Ask Before Joining
January 1, 2021

Derek Doeing photo by Derek Doeing

SHARE

Do you remember those Tupperware and Pampered Chef parties your mom would host when you were
younger?
You’d have to clean the house all day just to get confined to your room while your mom dealt some
high-quality kitchen gear and entertained the other moms in town. You weren’t entirely sure what was
going on outside your bedroom door those nights.

Turns out, your mom was an entrepreneur – running her own home marketing business and
participating in network marketing.

What is network marketing?

Network marketing is a method of marketing that relies on individuals harnessing their personal
networks to grow a business or sell a product. These networks are used to generate leads and recruit
customers or partners, usually implementing a training and mentorship process for new recruits.

Types of network marketing

Network marketing can be broken down into three essential categories. These categories are similar in
that they call upon individuals to use their personal networks to run their businesses. Through these
networks, individuals make sales or recruit others to sell products.

Network marketing, although similar, is not to be confused with influencer marketing.

Direct marketing
This single-tier marketing system requires an individual to sign up for a program to sell a product or
service. Individuals who sign up for these programs do not need to recruit other distributors and are
paid only on the direct sales they make.

Direct marketing is the most immediate form of sales. Find a product you like and get your friends and
family to buy into it. A few top companies involved in this type of network marketing are Mary Kay
cosmetics, Avon cosmetics, and Pampered Chef kitchen supplies.

Affiliate marketing
A newer aspect of network marketing is using online affiliate marketing programs. Website owners and
bloggers integrate links to specific products on their platforms. When people click on those links and
purchase products, the website owner is rewarded a referral fee. This provides customers with access to
a trusted site where they can immediately purchase the products being advertised.

It’s important for those using affiliate links to be transparent about that. A simple disclaimer at the
bottom of a blog post fits this purpose and lets your audience know that you’re making money from
these links. Amazon’s affiliate program is one of the most well known, but Partnerize and Google’s
Affiliate Network are also options.

Those are thousands of affiliate programs out there for both brands and individual individuals can
leverage. Be sure to research the most high-paying affiliate programs out there before you join a
program.

Multi-level marketing
Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a distribution-based marketing network that includes direct sales and a
downline of distributors. These home businesses tend to get a lot of bad press for their similarity to
pyramid schemes. In reality, they have one key difference. Where pyramid schemes require people to
invest in a false promise of wealth, MLM organizations sell real products or services that distributors
believe in.

Many MLM companies provide a healthy infrastructure and great training, plus extra rewards for high
performers. Scentsy, Herbalife, and Advocare are some well known players in the MLM field.

There are also many MLM software tools to help multi-level marketing organizations run efficiently.

To understand how these network marketing systems have evolved and become prominent, let’s take a
look at where these marketing strategies originated.

History of network marketing companies

During the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s, a large number of new products were being invented that
needed to be sold to consumers. These products were often complex and required explanation to
potential buyers. Network marketing began to hit its stride following World War II in the 1940s with the
California Vitamin Company (renamed Nutrilite in 1939) and the California Perfume Company (now
Avon).

The products produced by the California Vitamin Company were in such high demand that founder Carl
Rehnborg began recruiting independent distributors to increase the number of salespeople. These
independent distributors were instructed to find new distributors in their circles of friends,
acquaintances, and customers. The representatives were paid on the sales of the distributors they
personally recruited.

In 1959, two employees of Nutrilite, Rick de Vos and Jan van Andel, founded their own company:
Amway. Amway was created using the MLM organizational structure and paved the way for MLM
companies to be established in other countries like Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany,
and France. Amway allowed for companies like Panasonic, Palmolive, and MasterCard to include
network marketing in their omnichannel marketing strategies. Amway's success has even led them to
sponsor an NBA arena, the Orlando Magic's Amway Center (and the older Amway Arena), since 1989.

networking-marketing

By the 1980s, the landscape of U.S. economics was transformed. A financial boom coincided with
women entering commercial life. These women were a huge target for network marketing companies,
as they sought jobs that allowed them to earn money without neglecting their children and families.
Women were able to acquire high positions within these companies, creating opportunities for women
to achieve financial independence without giving up their families.

At the end of the 1990s, network marketers were learning to harness the power of the internet. The
implementation of online shops and electronic orders made employing social networks much easier for
individual distributors and businesses. Since the rise of social media platforms, it’s become common to
see advertisements by people in your network for companies like Rodan + Fields or ItWorks.

The categories network marketing is conducted in will continue to grow and evolve as society does. At
its core, though, building relationships will always be the key to successful network marketing.

However, there are some other things you should take into consideration if you think network
marketing is for you.

What to consider when entering network marketing

If you’re ready to start your own home business as a network marketer, there are some things you
should consider and research first. These organizations want access to your network of friends and
family.

You value the people in your life, so protect them and only market what you personally find valuable.
6 questions to ask before joining a network marketing organization
How old is the company?
What product or service do they offer (and is it something you find valuable)?
How fair and generous is the pay distribution?
What is the integrity of the company?
Does the company have good momentum and timing?
What support or training is offered by the company?
Like in any career, you need to make sure you are securing yourself and your customers. A large number
of scams exist, claiming to be network marketing opportunities. Use the simple checklist above to begin
research into network marketing organizations.

Remember that this is a business. You are your own boss and your own employee. If you want to call the
shots, you need to be okay with facing failure and trying again.

Keep in mind that not everyone in your network may be supportive.

Additionally, have a clear understanding of how this affects your taxes and finances. If you’re not versed
in accounting, consider hiring an accountant. There are many people who specialize in dealing with
home-based businesses.

Mentorships are key to successful network marketing

If you joined a network marketing organization, chances are you were recruited by someone you know.
This person has likely been around longer than you and should function as your mentor until you get off
your feet.

It’s in the best interest of your mentors to help you succeed, so be willing to listen to them and learn the
system.

Equally as important, it’s vital for you to be a good mentor when the time comes. When you recruit
someone into your organization, support them and teach them how to be a successful network
marketer.

Long-term relationship building is how you’ll find success in network marketing.

Network marketing is here to stay

We’ve covered almost everything there is to know about network marketing, including what it is, the
different types, its history, how to choose an organization, and the importance of mentorships.

As you go forward and employ your network to sell a product or service, keep in mind that before they
are your customers, they are your friends and family. Building a great relationship first and selling a
product second is the way to be an effective and successful network marketer.

Introduction: What is Network Marketing?
Network marketing is a business model that has been around since the late 1940s but has seen a
resurgence in recent years. It allows people to work for themselves and earn income by selling goods or
services to customers.

The network marketing business model is often called multi-level marketing (MLM). This is because the
company recruits multiple levels of distributors, each recruiting their groups of distributors. The
company then sells products to both the distributor and their recruits.

Benefits of network marketing for businesses

Network marketing is one of many emerging trends that help companies to cultivate customers.
Network marketing is a type of business structure that often uses MLM. With this kind of structure,
manufacturers can create & develop a vast network of consumers who can become affiliates and trust
each other to sell the product. Many benefits can be reaped from Network marketing. Listed below are
the top 5:

Regarding the network marketing structure, the sky is the limit: Network marketing allows corporations
to grow exponentially due to how they can tie up with distributors. This is because the structure can
extend to numerous people in the organization and connect with other distributors or sub-distributors.
Freedom from advertising: Companies don’t need to rely on advertising to market their goods because
that’s what our distribution network does. It uses credible marketing to reach customers in their own
homes! In case your company has a strong distribution network, you can leverage this to distribute
other company products and third-party products that they sell.
Saves capital and is cost-effective: Distributors also don’t have to deal with the expenses of adding a
warehouse, staff members, and so on. This saves the companies much capital, which they can put
towards other parts of their business.
Exponential earnings: This structure ensures that a distributor will earn an unlimited income from their
dealings with the corporation.
Build a robust online presence: Network marketing companies with a solid online presence can help
build a highly visible brand and reach out to potential customers. With the right tools and strategies,
they can achieve their business goals.

What Is Network Marketing?

Network marketing (also known as team marketing) is an effective and proven business model that uses
personal recommendation to promote and retail a company’s products or services.

Forever Living is a well-established, structured network marketing company, designed to enable our
members to develop their own independent business. Instead of investing large amounts in advertising,
Forever Living generously reward people for sharing its products and business opportunity with others.
We hold regular award ceremonies where our members are rewarded for their role within Forever
Living.

This lucrative business structure offers many incredible financial benefits that traditional business
models cannot match.

Own your own business with Forever Living's networking marketing opportunity

Network marketing with Forever Living allows you to enjoy the freedom and flexibility of owning your
own business. As an entrepreneur, you get to choose where and when you want to work. Instead of
working hard to make your boss rich, all of the hard work you put in benefits you thanks to the Forever
Living's incentives scheme.

No risk. Minimal overhead costs.

Traditional businesses typically cost many thousands of pounds to establish and often involve
getting into debt. Starting your own network marketing business means you do not have to
borrow money or hire employees, and you’ll have little overhead cost. It’s that simple.

No income cap.

Corporate jobs limit your pay range based on the market standard. The network marketing industry,
however, does not cap how much you can make. The harder you work, the higher your financial
rewards.

What are the benefits of network marketing?

The benefits of network marketing with Forever Living are endless, from taking control or your schedule
to easily managing overheads. Here’s our top ten:

Work to your own schedule

Work from anywhere

No commute

International possibilities

Your own personal growth

Security

No employees
Scalability

Minimal overheads

Building your own dream

How does network marketing work?

It’s simple. In the UK and Ireland, the vitamin and mineral supplements industry alone is worth £414
million, the skincare sector is worth £2.2 billion, the weight management sector £2 billion and sports
and nutrition sector £356 million. With Forever’s networking marketing scheme, you can be a part of
this growth.

Sharing is key with network marketing. By sharing the range of products and the business opportunity
with others you can start to build an income. Forever Living will supply you with the knowledge and
support you need to launch your business and be there every step of the way to help you succeed.

Who can do network marketing?

Networking marketing is an ideal business opportunity for anyone looking to take control of their
finance and who has a passion for sharing their knowledge and love of Forever Living products.
According to Forbes, more than half of all baby boomers (76 million) are interested in starting their own
business, and network marketing is the perfect opportunity for this. If you’re confident, driven and
passionate, then network marketing is for you, and the earning potential is endless.

It is illegal for a promoter or a participant in a trading scheme to persuade anyone to make a payment by
promising benefits from getting others to join a scheme.
Do not be misled by claims that high earnings are easily achieved.

An ambitious young man wondering how to start network marketing
Network marketing has become very popular in modern days. Many people in the country are shifting
from their conventional jobs and trying their hands in the industry. This includes people who’re seeking
opportunities to earn an extra income and those looking for a part-time gig.

On the other hand, there are also people who’re tired of their conventional jobs and seeking a different
path. Network Marketing provides a great opportunity for individuals trying to step out of their routines
and take a leap into an alternate path towards financial freedom.
So, this article is for all the folks who’re wondering how to start network marketing. In addition, we also
present an opportunity to start a network marketing journey today with QNET.

So, what is network marketing?

What is Network Marketing? How does it work?

Network marketing is an opportunity that allows individuals to network with others to create a business
stream. This might include selling products or services to friends and family. Since, the marketing
process is direct, it is also referred to as direct marketing or direct selling. The direct sellers are
compensated for selling a certain amount of products or achieving a certain amount of product sales
volume (PSV).

In addition, the network marketers also recruit sales teams under them, who would also follow the
network marketing process by directly selling to their contacts. The members recruited by the network
marketers are referred to as downlines.

A great benefit of network marketing is that the network marketer or the upline stands to earn a
percentage from the overall sales. So, every time a downline reaches a certain percentage of sales, the
upline is also incentivised with compensation. This process is also called Multi-level marketing (MLM).

Sounds like music to most network marketers’ ears. So, let’s shift our focus to an opportunity that helps
in starting a network marketing business and experience a lot more benefits.

QNET’s entrepreneurial opportunity is a great way for individuals to become network marketers and
carve their path towards financial freedom. Being one of the most reputed companies, QNET has helped
thousands of entrepreneurs realise their dreams and become successful network marketers.

Let’s explore a few more benefits of becoming a network marketer with QNET.

Benefits of Network marketing with QNET

QNET provides great potential for growth and a chance to create your own destiny. Here are some of
the major benefits in the realm of network marketing with QNET –

Flexibility of working hours

A conventional job requires a commitment of a fixed amount of time. Most jobs require you to be
available between 9-5 every day. This is regardless of whether you’re motivated or not on that particular
day. Moreover, during the pandemic, you need to spend your time being sedentary in front of a laptop
screen.

However, with a career as a network marketer, you have the liberty to choose the working hours.
Furthermore, you are responsible for your own tasks, whether it is driving more sales or expanding the
team. You have the opportunity to be your own boss.

High earnings potential

Most conventional jobs have a cap on your earnings. This is a straight swap of time for money. However,
with network marketing, no longer are you required to work for years in the same position or the same
salary.

The power is in your hands to increase your income based on your sales. The more products you sell, the
more will be the earnings. The business model provides an advantage to scale the revenue and achieve
your dream income.

Opportunity to learn from mentors and successful entrepreneurs

Network marketing with QNET gives you access to individuals who’ve started from scratch and made it
big in the industry. It allows you to learn from them directly and apply your learnings to grow your
business. Furthermore, you get to network with like-minded people in your journey, ones who will
support you and help you achieve your goals.

Once you grow your business and become successful, you will gain respect and credibility. Furthermore,
you will also have the opportunity to help other entrepreneurs grow their businesses and positively
impact their lives.

Now that we know about the network marketing business model and the benefits of becoming a
network marketer with QNET, the next question you might have is – “How do I join QNET?”

QNETQNET provides a great opportunity for individuals to start their journey and scale it to great
heights. However, in order to successfully become a QNET network marketer or a distributor, there are
five important steps.

1. Examine
Before beginning your journey, we would recommend you to make a clear assessment of the
opportunity. The best way to do that is to understand the business better. So, ideally, you can visit the
website and learn more about the company. Furthermore, you can visit the social media pages to
understand more about the trends and important information about the business.

While filling the form, review the details. In the end, you’ve got to feel confident about the process and
understand that you are signing up for a mission to change your life and the people around you.

2. Orient
After successfully filling the form, the next crucial step is orientation. This would involve signing the
Principle to Principle (P2P) contract. After that, you will attend regular meetings and network with your
uplines to learn more about the business.
In addition, you will go through other collaterals to understand the business concepts, products,
compensation plans, policies and procedures.

3. Kick-start
Now that you have registered and oriented yourself as a distributor, you are ready to start your network
marketing journey. We would recommend you to start by buying the products and experiencing them
first hand. Understanding the benefits of using the products gives you the confidence and information
needed to believe in the product.

The next step is to create a plan. Having the foresight to plan and scale the business is important. In
growing your business, the most crucial part is to sell your products. Remember, the commissions are
not earned just for recruitment, but they are earned on the sales.

To reiterate, buy the products, experience them and sell them to raise your net profits from the
business.

4. Advance
The next step is to advance your business. As you scale your business, you will advance through the
ranks to a higher position. The more sales you make, the more you will earn and the higher you advance.

Now, in this process, you need to identify partners to support your sales organisation and collaborate
with them by sharing your experiences as a network marketer. Furthermore, you can train them to
boost the overall business.

Your downlines help you grow your business. So, it is also important to help them scale their businesses.
This brings us to the next step – Maximise.

5. Maximise
Now, you’ve got to maximise the potential of your business. As we reflected earlier, training your
downlines will help them advance in rank. Synergy is an important factor for you to become a successful
network marketer with QNET.

In this process, you need to help them maximise their commission earnings and further inspire their
recruits. In essence, you are conveying your mission and helping them realise their potential as a
network marketer.

propel you towards success.

IN YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS Isha Parmar 2 Stories Monday July 01, 2019, 5 min Read
Image Credit - iOSS To start an MLM business, the first and foremost thing you should build a strong
team and it is not easy to build a strong team. Many MLM business owners have started adopting
network marketing software to make their daily tasks easier. It is very difficult to get people to listen to
your MLM presentations or goals. You will get irritated when you expect prospects to attend the MLM
meetings or presentations and sometimes they don't turn up to this meeting. Though you make use of
many marketing techniques like Attraction Marketing to invite prospects, it is not easy to make leads for
your MLM business. You would have seen that you may try many times to invite prospects, in the end,
they don't even bother to update anything whether they will be able to make the meeting. In this article,
you will find some strategies which will help you to invite more prospects in your MLM business. Read
on MLM Warm Marketing Strategies to approach people 1. Maintain a short invitation to prospects
Most of the people talk too much during their first meet. That is the biggest mistakes which they do
during their inviting phase or prospecting. Don't talk too much, please keep something with you to
share it during your next meeting. Sometimes your prospect may be very eager to know what will be the
next step to proceed. Don't give away all the points right before the event or meeting. Don't forget that
you have wonderful opportunities which are not easy to explain in detail. Have control over sharing the
information at a time. Let them attend the MLM meetings to know the complete information from the
meetings or presentations or from the videos that you will be sharing later. Always share the success
stories to make them excited about how your MLM business is going to change their lives too.
Remember this inviting phase is important to carry away your prospects deep into your MLM business.
2. Don't focus always on your outcome When you begin your MLM business, you will be more excited
about your MLM business. So you always focus the answer as "Yes" from your prospects. If you
concentrate more on this outcome, sometimes you may get desperate. Instead of that, interact with
more people and try not to focus on your outcome. Your main responsibility is to invite and just think
that it depends upon an individual's interest to show up. If they do, make them learn more. To improve
this prospecting skills, try to interact with more people. When you meet up with those people who are
not interested, try to understand that each and every person may not like your offer, so keep moving
and keep prospecting. Don't be emotional for any negative answer, so keep on moving further by
interacting with more people. 3. Make use of Facebook Messenger for inviting prospects Most of the
marketers will not keep the relationship through calls. When they get any leads they don't call their
leads, instead, they message them. The reason behind this is the marketers sometimes don't know what
to talk when they were questioned by the leads. So we can consider that phone communication will not
be effective in all the cases. At the same time, the easy way to communicate and connect with people is
through messages. Here comes the Facebook Messenger, it is simple to send messages through
Facebook. You can send messages to the users of Facebook. Maintain a short and understanding
message, so that people will try to read your messages. Try to collect those user lists in your contact list,
so that you can have contact with them later. Try to send some requesting messages. For example, "If I
send you an audio clip, would you hear it?". They may give you a positive answer. Now you can send the
file so that it will help them to educate more about your MLM business. Always remember that it should
not be bugging them or convincing them to know or join your business You can maintain a good rapport
with Facebook users by sending them more simple and short messages. 4. Cooperate with Coach or
trainer You have to follow your trainers for years to understand very well about the MLM business.
Learning or getting trained from coaches or trainers is the best way to carry on with your MLM business.
It will make your learning easy by directly getting trained from them. You can learn Attraction
Marketing, the ways to invite the prospects for your MLM business. A trainer can assist you more on
how to proceed with prospecting. Nowadays it is easy to find any good trainers online. Actually, you
should be so thankful for internet technologies. In online you will be able to view a huge number of
webinars and training materials or resources to build a strong team for your MLM business. From online
resource, you can learn many techniques to attract prospects via online and you can invite them to join
your MLM meetings. As a result, you will be able to build a strong team with more leads and prospects.
Trying to understand how to present yourself through conversation, blogging, posting videos will help
you to invite more prospects. Conclusion Mastering on how to invite prospects in your MLM business is
a skill and this skill is necessary to enhance your MLM business. As I already discussed you should not
always focus on your outcome. So it is always necessary that you should not take anything personally, it
is all the part of your MLM business. The online materials and training will help you to develop your
skills. MOST VIEWED STORIES 1 5 Reasons Why You Should Plan To Retire From Your IT Career By 45 2

Success Tips for When You Join a Network Marketing Company
August 17, 2017

Productivity Pantry, Work From Home

If you’ve made the decision to become a professional network marketer, you may be asking yourself
“now what do I do?”. It could look overwhelming, but there are some things you can do to set yourself
up for success when starting your network marketing business.

For starters, congratulations on your decision to build a business that provides flexibility, work-life
balance and the opportunity to work from home, or wherever your travels may take you. It’s an exciting
time, but also a little frightening as you figure out how to make this work. Below are several tips that
should help you on your way to developing your business without losing who you are in the process:

Success Tips for Your First Few Weeks of Your Business

Make the decision. Yes, you may have decided to join a network marketing organization, but you need
to now decide to WORK at building your business. You’ve decided you wanted to BE an associate, now
you need to decide if you want to DO the associate work.
Set up your home office for success! – Set aside a specific place where you can concentrate and build
your business without the distraction of family members and friends. If this is your first time working
from home, you may want to check out my blog post on tips for working from home.
Make a business plan! Set goals. If you’ve decided to make this opportunity full-time, or just part-time,
setting goals will ensure you grow your business.
Don’t get bogged down with organizing your file folders– there is no need for you to create a fancy
organizational system, or tag all your file folders with project names. The best thing you can do with
your time in the beginning is to just START working the business. Organize you business once you have a
business to organize.
Manage your time – in the same way that you now have your own space, and your own business plan,
you need to work the plan. Ensure you have set aside strategic time to tackle your plan. Need more info
on how to manage time? Check out my blog post on The 5 Choices here.
Join the community – Your particular company likely has a great network of resources, mentors, and
colleagues – make sure you tap into those resources and people (including your up-line if applicable)
Seek advice and counsel from those outside the industry – Given you’re reading this blog post, I’m
hoping you’ve already bought into the value that comes with seeking counsel from outside of your
company. Hearing perspectives through different filters and lenses will potentially give you a
competitive edge in the marketplace.
Don’t lose sight of who you are! Often the excitement of a new business can be all-encompassing (hey,
I’ve been there, and continue to be there when I start a new project), just don’t forget who you were
before you joined. Continue to fill your time with other activities that energize you, not just growing
your business.
Don’t alienate friends and family – your family and friends loved you before you joined your new
company and they will support you, but be careful not to swamp them with your new business. Here are
some areas to watch for:
Personal social media posts – don’t make it all about your business. Start separate social media accounts
for “all business, all day every day”, and ensure you still update personal pages with things about YOU.
Don’t pester about sales or recruitment – One of my favourite quotes is “Sometimes the people around
you won’t understand your journey. They don’t need to. Its not for them.” This is a GREAT quote for
people who start their own network marketing business. Not everyone will understand your journey.
In the same way, your friends and family are potentially on their OWN journey, and selling essential oils
is not part of their journey. It doesn’t mean they are afraid to start their own business, or afraid to take
risks. It means they don’t want to sell essential oils. Be respectful of that.
Be ok with setbacks – this is a new experience for you, there’s a learning curve ahead of you, be ok with
disappointments and setbacks. Take each new success or setback as a way to learn for the next day.
Setbacks do not mean you’re not cut out for this, they simply mean there’s more to learn and
implement.
By keeping the above tips in mind, you are well on your way to enjoying network marketing success!
Enjoy learning, enjoy growing and tending to your own business, and enjoy the great benefits that come
with working from home!

10 Amazing Network Marketing Tips to Achieve Success
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 6 MINS READ

When it comes to any business model, marketing remains one of the key pillars. Without a strong
marketing foundation, it is quite difficult to succeed in your business. When we talk about home-based
business opportunities, networking marketing figures are right at the top of the list. This business model
has been in the limelight for several decades; however, very few actually succeed in making a go of it. In
fact, network marketing is also considered one of the most sought-after business models by people who
wish to begin their entrepreneurship journey.

In this post, we will provide you with a brief description of what network marketing is about and some
amazing tips that can help you achieve success in your network marketing.

What is Network Marketing?

Network Marketing
Source: The Learning Institute
Network marketing can be described as a business model which relies majorly on individuals who use
their various skills and personal networks to sell products/services and grow the business. It often
involves individuals working from home and selling products person-to-person by individual
representatives. One of the key requirements of this business model is building a strong network of like-
minded individuals who can contribute to lead generation and successful sales.

The other key requirement of network marketing is effective collaboration, without which it can be
really difficult to succeed in this business model. Apart from selling products and services, this type of
marketing also offers commissions to network marketers who recruit or bring in more people to the
business. Also known as pyramid marketing, network marketing can be categorized into three main
categories:

Direct Marketing
Affiliate Marketing
Multi-level Marketing (MLM)
Top 10 Network Marketing Tips
If you are already in the business of network marketing or are interested in this business model, then
you should definitely check out these amazing tips that will help you in your network marketing journey.
1. Have the Right Attitude – Network marketing is a long and tedious business model, and you cannot go
ahead with it unless you are serious about it, develop your mindset, and have the right attitude. You
need to have a strong work ethic and be really professional. In the long run, network marketing is all
about putting in part-time efforts for full-time earnings; however, you need to put in a lot of hard work
in the initial stages.

2. Clear Goals – Ensure that you start off your network marketing with clear and defined goals. We also
recommend that you write down your goals so that they help you stay on the right path. These goals
also act as your ‘why’, i.e., they remind you why you decided to get into this business and why you
should put in your hard work and efforts. You need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve out
of your network marketing business.

3. Be Sincere and Genuine – Always ensure that you stay sincere and genuine to your customers.
Provide them accurate information about the product you are selling, its pros and cons, etc., and allow
them to make a decision. When reaching out to your network, don’t fake the reason. Give them a
genuine reason for reaching out.

4. Make Use of Social Media – We do not have to reiterate how important social media has become
today! Having the right social media strategy can do wonders for your network marketing business. But
this does not mean that you end up spamming on all the various social media platforms. First,
understand what the platforms are offering and then map them to your business idea, target audience,
etc., and choose 2-3 platforms that will work best for you.

5. Target Market – For any business to succeed, understanding the target market is absolutely vital. This
stands true for network marketing as well. In order for your business to succeed, you must first identify
your target audience, understand what their requirements are, and then analyze how your business can
fulfill those requirements. Once you have these details locked in, you can assure the longer sustainability
of your business.

6. Keep on Learning – As a network marketer, you need to be always open to learning. Today, we are
living in a fast-evolving world where everything related to network business keeps changing and
evolving – whether it is your audience, product, social media platform, marketing channels, etc. So, in
order to stay with the current trends, you need to keep learning and updating yourself.

7. Embrace the Right Tools and Technology – Network marketers who wish to succeed should make
technology their best friend! One of the best ways to scale your network marketing business and reach
more and more people is to take complete advantage of various automation tools and technology. With
artificial intelligence, chatbot software, automatic email scheduling, automating social media post
scheduling, etc., becoming readily available, network marketers should use such tools to save their time
and focus on making more sales.

8. Build your Team – As a network marketer, you cannot solely run the business on your own. In fact, the
entire concept of this business model is recruiting more network marketers who can generate leads and
increase sales. As a leader, you need to ensure that you pass on all the key skills, learnings, insights, and
information that will help the new recruits to perform well.

9. Stay Consistent – As mentioned earlier, when you think of network marketing, you need to
understand that it is a long-term investment. You cannot simply do things for a month or two and expect
results. Staying consistent is extremely important to meet your goals and making your business a
success. The more consistent you are, the better results you will achieve.

10. Be Open to Rejection – The chances of rejection in network marketing are definitely on the higher
side, especially when you are just starting out. Some of the reasons for rejection include lack of clarity
on the target audience, using incorrect channels, hiring the wrong talent, etc. You need to be ready to
face these rejections as they will in turn help you to improve your business and plug all the loopholes.

Apart from these top tips, some other tips include finding the right mentor to give you market insights,
being ready to sponsor new recruits, creating effective marketing plans, etc.

Conclusion
You cannot achieve success in your network marketing business overnight. It requires you to be
consistent, clear, and concise. You need to be really patient, as it can take quite some time for your
business to take off. However, all the time, efforts, and patience truly pay off when your network
marketing succeeds. We hope the above-listed tips help you strengthen your business and take it to new
heights!

How to Build Your Network Marketing Business Quickly Blog Post Featured Image
Today, I want to share with you my best tips on how to build a network marketing business quickly (and
it’s probably not how you think). I struggled for over a decade, through 5 different companies and
having zero success, so I know all too well what it’s like to feel stuck.

When I finally found the right strategies and the right company to build my network marketing business,
my team started growing quickly and I know you can replicate that in your network marketing business
as well (even if you’re starting with very little influence and don’t want to bug your friends and family).

No where in this post will you see me mention that I did home or online parties… because I didn’t.
Boring Disclosure: I use this site to teach you how to make money. That comes with expenses & my
family likes frozen yogurt, so occasionally I use affiliate links to recommend products I love and I know
will help you. Click here if you want to read the full disclaimer (or take a good nap).

Let’s dive in!
First, you’re going to want to pick up this free daily action plan checklist. After countless hours of
attraction marketing training & mentorship from my 6 & 7 figure upline, I documented it all in this
blueprint of exactly what activities they were doing every day to build their business online without
doing parties or sales calls. If you’re trying to build a network marketing business quickly, this guide is
ESSENTIAL.

Download Free Network Marketing Action Plan Guide PDF (attraction marketing)
Next, here’s a video I recorded 5 or 6 months into building with my new network marketing company,
where I talk about how I grew my downline team to 18 in just my first 4 months (while only
implementing around 60-80% of the guide) and made my first $400-500/mo CONSISTENTLY in network
marketing. Yes, I know that’s not mind-blowing, but when you’re coming from zero and no social
influence and have two little kids at home, that’s HUGE.

If you take action on these strategies, you can most definitely hit your first $500, $1000, or even $10,000
month. Your journey is yours & the sky is the limit.

If you prefer it in text, skip the video, grab a cup of coffee, and keep reading because this is pretty
meaty, but so worth it.

P.S. – I always keep it clean, so it’s safe to listen with your kiddos around.

How I discovered These Amazing Strategies to Build Quickly in Network Marketing...

If you know my story, you know I’m an average typical person who tried out several network marketing
companies & even several other home businesses & never had any real success with them. The most I
ever recruited to my team was 4 people. Three were my best customers who just wanted the discount
(can you relate to that?) and one borrowed hundreds of dollars worth of products that I loaned her to
help her get started & then ghosted me when I tried to get them back!

I realized that if I was going to fulfill my big dreams, something needed to change. I started learning
about attraction marketing & how to brand myself and have people coming to ME asking ME what I do
or how I can help them…. but I had a problem… It was looking like a lot of work to implement what I
wanted to do with the network marketing company I was in at the time. I wanted a business that fully
supported what I was learning and that wasn’t the case where I was.

So I decided to get bold & reach out to a 7 figure earner and coach & just ask what company he was in.
And oh my gosh, what he showed me BLEW MY MIND!

I finally understood why I was spinning my wheels before. Then I realized it was silly to try to replicate
what he was doing in my current company when literally EVERYTHING I needed to be successful was
available to me in this new company… so I made a leap into my SIXTH network marketing company. I got
immediate access to the mentorship of some major rock stars in the direct sales industry, thousands of
dollars worth of attraction marketing training, the tools & strategies that actually work. Not to mention
they didn’t have me doing parties or going broke buying inventory! I decided to get focused & do what
they taught me & it WORKED!

So How Does That Help YOU Build YOUR Network Marketing Business Quickly?
I’m going to share with you exactly what I learned right now!

Here’s exactly how I started to build my network marketing business quickly (so you can implement the
strategies into YOUR business and recruit new team members and get more customers faster)…

Tip #1: Stop Spamming Your Product Names & Links Everywhere
First, I stopped spamming my company name & products all over the place. That’s called REPULSION
marketing. I wanted to ATTRACT people to me, not push them away.

You know you hate doing it & it makes you feel slimy, so let’s just pinky promise right now that you are
going to stop pushing your product names & links on your Facebook wall.

What can you do instead?

Create curiosity and provide value. Become the go-to person on your topic (not your product, but your
topic) by sharing tips and create curiosity so interested people have to ask you for more information.
Start genuine conversations with people who comment on and like your posts, without pushing your
products, service, or opportunity on them. People want to feel cared about. People buy people in
today’s world, not products, so be a human first. They love to buy things, but they don’t want to be sold
to. They like to feel like they discovered something cool.
Tip #2: Launch (or Re-Launch) Your Business
I LAUNCHED my business. And I learned from my leaders & my new company & loads of attraction
marketing training how to do so without annoying everyone.
I don’t understand when people say they are afraid to tell people about their new home business. If you
were opening a cupcake store you would tell everyone you know that they better get their butt to your
grand opening. You would be proud to share about it and it wouldn’t be awkward to do so either. They
would be excited to support you.

In the same way, you don’t have to make it all weird to launch (or re-launch) your network marketing
business. It’s a GOOD thing to share with your people the things you’re excited about and what’s going
on in your life. You can do it without spamming them or being salesy.

People need to know that you have a thing that you offer. They’re not just going to magically know
about it (but DO NOT FORGET TIP #1).

Tip #3: Personal Development EVERY DAY

If you want to be successful, you NEED to be learning something every day. You are running a business.
You weren’t born knowing how to do that.

Getting good at something like this and requires tons of training and practice. It stretches you. You
have to get uncomfortable, so you can grow. If you are catching yourself saying things like “I just don’t
know how to do that” or “She’s got so much more influence than I do,” STOP IT! Stop it right now.

EVERYONE starts at square 1. You need to turn that frustration into fascination. You basically have two
choices. You either give up on this dream you said you had or you start learning the habits, traits,
systems, & strategies of people who have the life you want to live. They are no more special than you
are. They’re just a few steps ahead of you.

Investing in your own personal development is absolutely at the top of the list for building your network
marketing business.

What I did? I took courses, listened to audio books, read blog posts, listened to podcasts, and I studied
top leaders in the industry & in my company. I asked questions. Then I realized I was getting a bit too
much shiny object syndrome and I wanted to expand into training other network marketers (not just my
team), so I invested an insane amount of money into VIP mentorship to get my business on the fast
track for success.

It is worth it to invest in yourself and your business and if you need direction about this, hit me up any
time through the Life Ninjas Free Community and I am happy to help you determine what mentorship
path or course is right for you.

Tip #4: Take Action!

I went through the training that was available to me and I actually implemented it.

This is where so many people fall short.

You can’t get stuck in training mode. You have to DO what you learn. Take action! If you need help with
what action to take every day, pick up this free network marketing daily action plan. Seriously, you can
stop wasting brain calories wondering what to do every day & just sit down & work through the checklist
& start seeing results.

Tip #5: Talk to People

When I first started, I contacted some specific people & let them know I had a business opportunity that
they NEEDED to take a look at. I didn’t do it in a needy way. Remember, people don’t want to be
convinced and that shouldn’t be your goal.

But I knew these people would be mad at me if 6 months from now I was making big bucks & they didn’t
even know about the opportunity.

So I told them something like…

Hey, I know you told me you were looking for some extra income before to help you ________. Is that
still true?
This may or may not be for you, but I think you really need to take a look at this thing that I found. It's
the best work from home opportunity I've come across so far (total no-brainer) & I'm going to run HARD
with it, so I didn't want you to get mad at me later for not letting you know about it. If you want some
info, there's a video I can share with you. Just let me know.

Make sure to wait for their answer after you ask if they’re still looking for extra income. Your closest
peeps will WANT to learn more about it when you talk to them like this (like you cared enough to think
of them), rather than pitching them.

Talk to people. This is NETWORK marketing.

Bonus points if you do this as a voice message & personalize it to them a little rather than having it look
like something you copied & pasted to everyone.

Tip #6: Use the Resources Available to You (Or Create Some)
What do I mean by this? It has largely to do with systems. Yes you want to plug into whatever training
you have available on your team, but it’s much more than that. Here are the systems within our team
that made the biggest impact for me to build my network marketing business quickly.

Our team uses a very simple, duplicatable system for prospecting. When someone develops curiosity
about what I’m doing, I offer to share more info with them. Then, with their permission, I add them to a
prospecting group on Facebook and tag them on a welcome post that leads them to watch a couple of
videos about the product or our company. The videos do most of the selling for me & the group is an
amazing sea of testimonials that reinforce how awesome it is, so all I have to do is follow up & help
them make the best decision for their needs. What do you do if you don’t have a group like this? You
have a few options. You could make one, you could point them to some other piece of information
provided by your company or team, or you can join a team that does. The point is, don’t let this stop
you. You are an action-taking life ninja! If you don’t have it, make it or get it. It keeps you from
explaining the same thing over & over again (like the comp plan or why your thing is so awesome) and
from getting in the bad habit of trying to convince people. You are not convincing. You are sifting &
sorting. You are helping those who are ready for it and right for it. Bless and release the rest.
My leaders do group chats to help us close people – that’s HUGE! We DO NOT spend hours on the
phone doing 3-way calls. We use Facebook messenger. Basically, if someone’s on the fence, I introduce
them to my upline (edifying how awesome they are) & then I kind of shut up & let them get to know
each other. 3-way chats are not only an amazing way to help people who are sitting on the fence to
make a decision, but they’re also an amazing way for you to learn from your upline. Study how they
talk, so you can learn to do this for your own downline. What if no one in your upline will do this for
you? Find someone in your sideline or even your downline & help each other out. If your team is not
supportive, why are you on this team? Either create the environment you want to be in or join one you
do. It’s YOUR business. 3-way chats will drastically improve your closing ratios and allow your new
recruits to get out there & take massive action FAST.
Tip #7: Provide Value and Curiosity
I mentioned this a little already, but one of the biggest things that helped me build my network
marketing business quickly was learning how to pull in more new (cold market) people to friend or
follow me & look at my wall. Not just that but also how to provide VALUE and CURIOSITY on my wall
and in the FB groups I’m in, which attracts them to ask me what I do.

This is called attraction marketing and if you want to know the exact activities I did every day to build my
network marketing team, you can grab your free copy of the S.M.A.R.T. P.L.A.N. Guide I created for you.
It’s literally the exact list our team uses to build their business online, curated from hours of training and
talking to 6 & 7 figure earners.

I also dive deeper into the nitty gritty about HOW to do each of the daily activities in the 5-Day Home Biz
Kick-in-the-Pants Workshop. If you’re looking at the daily checklist & you are ready to take action but
still feeling like you don’t know what to do, the KITP course is the best thing you can do for your
business right now. We even get into how to post for posture and profit, so you can become the go-to
authority on your topic and get people regularly asking for more info.

Tip #8: Team Support

I mentioned this a little before but having solid support from your upline can make or break you when
you’re new and building your business. I want to go a little deeper into that though because this is
about more than having a team that provides regular training about what’s working and not working in
the industry TODAY (which is also super important).

Something I realized when I joined my network marketing company is that the big leaders in my upline
are watching me & my team to see who’s working. I really started to notice this when I saw my upline
rewarding those of us who are working hard & showing good leadership skills by placing people in our
downline! Say what? YES!

Why would they do that?

Well it happens for multiple reasons. When I joined my company directly under one of the tippy top
leaders, I got moved a couple weeks later. He did this because he recruits hundreds of people and
although he is available to us all and supports us all, he can’t personally give tons of one on one
attention to everyone. He reserves those spots for the huge influencers that he recruits.

It’s really a win-win. He gets a buffer so the newbies are only hitting him with their most important
needs or 3-way chats. Then the newbies get another layer (or 2 or 3) of excellent leaders & trainers
above them to use as resources to help them as they build.

It was one of the best things that could have happened to me because I immediately got access to
double the training, plus one of the top coaches on rapport building, prospecting, and recruiting at my
fingertips.

And it’s been so neat being able to bless my own downline by placing my own recruits under them as
well.

What can you learn from this if your company doesn’t allow you to move your recruits like ours does?

The leaders in your company are watching for action takers on their team. They will give the most time,
support, and training to those who are taking action. You want that to be you.

I have made a huge point to make myself valuable to my upline and my entire team and it’s gained me
so much, including being able to room with my upline and become really great friends. This is a woman
who charges $600+/hr to her coaching clients and I got tons of time to chat with her & see how she
works. I have become her go-to person for technical things and even been able to participate in strategy
sessions with much higher-ranked leaders.

Make yourself valuable to your upline & they will be happy to share their time & expertise with you in
return.

the best decision you could make.

The opportunities have never been greater for success than it is now with all the resources available

To be really successful in network marketing it is very important to understand why you should even
bother.

I decided that to help you with either your belief or with what prospects say, you will have some great
information to get you motivated and on the right path.
Here are 20 reasons why network marketing may be your best option, though I could give you many,
many more.

#1. Work From Anywhere: This has been one of Americans biggest dreams is the possibility to be able to
work on their laptop from anywhere around the world. To me this is priceless. As long as you can get
internet connection you can run your business. If anything changes in your life you just move to another
state, city, etc. and you business is portable because your business is portable.

#2. Your Own Schedule: This is a big one for me. If I have an appointment I do not have to ask for time
off work from a regular job. Because you can set your own schedule, it is also very easy to not work your
business in network marketing so you must become disciplined if you want to grow the business. You
only get out of it what you are willing to put into it. In a traditional business the same holds true as well,
however, you have a far greater investment at risk.

#3. Low Cost of Entry: With network marketing companies you can start with just a computer and a
small investment to get started. Some have even started with no money to invest. Only time and hard
work. If you were considering starting a traditional business, generally speaking, you are looking at
$50,000 minimum investment, just to open the doors. Franchise type of business would even be a far
greater investment of $100K, or more and most of the owners do not even start to see a profit for over
5 years. My question to you would be: Which would you rather invest, say a small amount of $1000 or
$50,000 or more?

#4. No Employees: This in itself should make you take a serious look at network marketing. There are no
payroll worries, tax worries, workers compensation worries like you would have in a traditional business
that are all cost associated with employees. No one asking for salary increases or just plain old making
sure others are getting the work done for you. The only employee you need to worry about is yourself.

#5. No Billing/Account Receivables: You do not have to worry about billing any of your customers, or
collecting any money, that is all handled online, and even if you sell physical products, the products are
drop shipped for you with most companies. In a traditional business sometimes you wait 90 days or
more to collect their money.

#6. Tax Benefits From A Homebased Business: This is a huge benefit. With a home based business you
will receive some of the same tax breaks that the rich are already taking advantage of. You can have
access to over 250 tax incentives that rich people know about and take advantage of! The tax benefits
alone are generally greater than the cost to get started.

#7. There is No Discrimination Between Men/Women/Age/Race: Everyone who enters network

marketing has the same opportunity as the next person to succeed. I have even heard of someone that
was bedridden becoming successful in their network marketing business.

#8. No Commuting: Just imagine the time and money you would save from not having to commute back
and forth to your business or day job. One thing we can never get back is time. Time is something we
seem to never have enough of. I personally do not consider sitting in rush hour traffic a good use of my
time.

#9. Security: We hear everyday of companies laying employees off. Cut backs. There is no such thing as
job security when working for someone else. With the shrinking job market and technological advances
leading to fewer and fewer people needed to do the same job as there once was. What’s more secure…
having one income stream with a job where you could be outsourced or downsized in an instant, or
additional income coming from a network marketing business? When you have your own network
marketing business you have the stability of your network. Yes, even in network marketing, there are
companies that come and go, but those companies, however, can not take your network. That is your
security in this business.

#10. Residual Income: Boy, this is priceless. I hope you can understand this amazing benefit and the
power of it. Network marketing allow you to get paid a residual income, even when you are not working,
plus it can grow month to month. Imagine when you retire and you still have that residual income
coming in for you.

#11. Training Already In Place And Readily Available: Because Network Marketing is a system which has
many independent distributors, the companies typically have training available at your fingertips. Why
not learn from those that have already proven there success.

#12. Receive The Help, Encouragement, and Support From Others In The Same Profession: I have
benefited so much from this. You will find that everyone is willing to help each other to succeed. Find
yourself a mentor to follow and work with. Generally in America everyone is out for themselves, clawing
their way to the top of the ladder. You will find network markets different. Everybody helps everybody
and you will find that you will be doing the same in a very short time.

#13. Personal Growth: This is big in my personal opinion and a synonymous with network marketing.
The personal growth you must experience along with the growth of your business is essential. You must
grow, especially if you want a large income. You must grow to become the person that helps others,
encourages others, and helps others to also get what they want out of life. If you don’t grow then you
will become stagnant.

#14. You Build Social Skills: You become a better person, which improves so many other areas of your
life. When you build your social skills other look forward to working with you and being around you.

#15. Allows You To Help Others On A Massive Scale: The ripple effect that your business can have on
others can be larger than you could ever imagine. Your personal impact can touch more people than you
will ever even know about. To people who love to help others this is a huge benefit. This reason should
be at the top of your priority list.

#16. Quickly Profitable: Unlike traditional businesses, which generally speaking take 3-5 years before
they even think about seeing a profit, in network marketing, depending on what you are doing, you
could see a return in days.
#18. Build Your Business By Using The Internet: The internet is changing the world as we use to know it.
The possibility of reaching a greater audience for your business is just at your finger tips. Here you can
focus on people who are only interested in what you are selling. This makes any advertising cost much
lower. With the traditional business, yes this can be done, depending on the type of business, but the
cost for a traditional business can be far greater than what you will experience because you are reaching
out to people one at a time.

#19. Ability To Work In A Stress Free Environment: Today people are working in a FEAR based
environment. With more and more jobs being outsourced, there are less jobs available. Employers can
pay less and require more, and this is happening every day. With network marketing you are working
from the comfort of your home, and the fear and stress are far less. You are creating your own dream,
not someone else’s dream.

#20. Ability To Involve Your Kids: Since you can work from home, you can involve your kids, and teach
them a strong work ethic and social skills. Working around your schedule is a plus in order to spend
more time with your kids taking them to that ball practice, with you being able to stay and watch. With
you kids around you, they see what you do, how you do it, learn how to be entrepreneurs, as well you
can also involve them in your business and have them do projects you choose for involving them in your
business. I can’t think of a better way to instill a good work ethic in your children.

I understand that network marketing is not for everyone, but to me it is a better way. If you are
considering network marketing, or if you are already a part time network marketer I hope this helps you
to appreciate what a great opportunity you are a part of . The friendships, personal growth, helping
other people, are all priceless. I have given you 20 Reasons Why Network Marketing May Be Your Best
Option, I could have give you many more.

You are your only limit. Bottom line is, you determine the amount of success or failure you have in
network marketing. It is like anything else in life. You get out of it what you are willing to put into it. If
you show up and work your business consistently, grow yourself, success will happen. So the only limit is
the one you put on your business.

The Fuel to Ignite Your Network Marketing Business
by Adam Kimmel | Content Marketing, Network Marketing | 3 comments

content writing network marketing

Network Marketing, or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), has gone from being a suburban cliché, think
‘Tupperware party among friends’ or the ‘Avon Lady’, to a legitimate vehicle to open up a secondary
income stream. Moguls Warren Buffet (Pampered Chef, among others) and Richard Branson (Vie at
Home) have both personally invested in MLM with great success. Donald Trump has long been a
proponent of the business model.

With so much recent interest in MLM companies, whose products typically focus on health the wellness,
how do you select an opportunity that provides you the best chance for success? The following are
some points to consider when assessing an MLM opportunity:

Stability – how old is the company? Is it a flash in the pan, or a sustainable business?
Products/services – do they solve a legitimate problem, who are potential clients, and are the products
consumable? The products and/or services offered must be excellent and should be consumable to
ensure repeat business.
Pay plan – how fair is the compensation plan? Out of each dollar raised, how much goes to new
distributors and how much goes to longer-tenured distributors? Do distributors need to purchase
products to sell (which should go into the income return on investment equation)?
The integrity of the company and management – what is the press about the company? Good company
culture, transparent business practices, etc.
Momentum/timing to join – how many distributors are currently selling (ideally less than 100,000), and
in what geographic region(s) are they located?
Support, training and business systems – will the company support you with excellent delivery, customer
service and new distributor support?
Content marketing network marketing
Content marketing connects you with the untapped cold market

My good friend Andrea Weiss, Presidential Diamond distributor at ItWorks Global, assessed the
company and the opportunity against these six guidelines in the fall of 2014, with the goal of paying off
her family’s lot before building their dream home. I recently conducted a virtual interview with her to
evaluate how she went from an MLM novice to an expert, earning an annual average of nearly $200,000
at her level.

ASK: How did you go about starting to build your business?

AW: I have been in the network marketing industry for 3 years and as most business owners will tell
you, changes in how you operate are necessary for continued growth and success. When I started in this
industry, I utilized a lot of the traditional methods of growing my organization – emails and messages,
phone calls, coffee dates, and in-home meetings. These methods will continue to be the bread and
butter of network marketing; however, we are also in the age of social media, and many in this
profession are seeing huge shifts in the way they work and how to get the word out about their
products, services, and opportunity.

ASK: What will these shifts look like?

AW: Most network marketers start out introducing their offerings to their warm market – people who
know, trust and like them. This is an excellent start for those in the profession because it gives them the
practice and chance to dip their toes in the water with those they are the most comfortable with.
However, there will come a time when our warm market can “run dry”. That is when it’s absolutely
crucial to expand our network and reach out to our cold market – those whose needs we have a solution
for but who have yet to learn about us.

ASK: What have you learned in the 3 years you’ve been building your business?

AW: Lately I have been researching and learning a ton about this. What I am learning is the most
successful network marketers are those who provide valuable content to their audience – either
through education or inspiration. Long gone are the days of simply saying “Buy this!” Or “Look what I
have!”. With the influx of network marketers today on social media, it’s absolutely crucial to breaking
through the noise and be seen as an expert in your industry. The best way to do that is to provide much-
needed content for your target market.

Creating a blog and posting regularly is one of the best ways to deliver your messages. This is something
I have started, and I believe it will propel my business to new heights. However, there is a real time
commitment to managing this. Network marketers primarily focus on signing on new teammates,
training them, providing support for their current team as well as investing in personal development and
growth. Managing an online presence, while extremely valuable, can become yet one more hat for a
network marketer to wear.

ASK: How can you increase your online presence while maintaining focus on business development?

AW: This is where a content writer comes in. He can not only lessen the load but can also be an expert
in creating optimal and valuable content. Network marketers have a huge opportunity for massive
business growth via online space and content delivery. It is wise to take full advantage of this vehicle;
however, in order to effectively prioritize income-producing activities, outsourcing blog post and social
media creation to an external writer is definitely the way to go.

content marketing network marketingAndrea exemplifies the power of network marketing, and is
excited at the value external content marketing will add to blast her business into the stratosphere.

What is network marketing?
December 6, 2022/
Network marketing is a business marketing model that relies on person-to-person interactions to
generate leads and drive sales. It often involves individuals harnessing their personal networks – such as
friends, family members, and co-workers – in order to build a customer base, sell products, and even
recruit new colleagues.

Also known as multi-level marketing (MLM) or referral marketing, network marketing uses independent
salespeople – called distributors – who earn commissions on sales of a particular product – covered
under the company’s compensation plan – rather than working as salaried employees within the
business. These distributors are effectively salespeople who buy products at a reduced price from the
business in question, and then sell the products on within their personal networks, meaning they keep
the full amount earned from each sale. Well-known examples of network marketing businesses include
Avon and Tupperware, which originally sold products exclusively through individual distributors.

Another common feature of network marketing is that distributors are also encouraged to recruit other
distributors in addition to direct selling. Recruiting new salespeople typically earns distributors a small
percentage of each sale made by their new recruits, known as their downline distributors. These new
distributors are similarly encouraged to recruit their own downline distributors, forming the multi-level
network that MLM is known for.

What are the benefits of network marketing?

Flexibility
Distributors often say that one of the primary benefits of network marketing opportunities is that they
are their own boss, effectively running a small business or home business. They can work from home
and make their own hours around other commitments, such as parenting and other family
responsibilities.

Because of this flexibility, many people take on network marketing as a second income, working around
their full-time jobs in order to save money, pay off debt, or just have a little more disposable income and
financial freedom.

Skills development
Becoming a distributor in a network marketing organisation typically involves a robust training
programme, and often provides mentorship opportunities that can enable both professional and
personal growth.

The skills gained as a distributor within a network marketing role are often widely transferable as well.
For example, distributors need to:

Build strong professional networks and relationships with everyone from upline distributors to potential
customers.
Demonstrate leadership, particularly for downline distributors.
Communicate clearly and effectively, both in one-on-one interactions and during presentations and
public speaking opportunities.
Develop and adapt marketing strategies. For example, network marketing distributors are increasingly
building new networks online or even operating as an online business, so creating social media
marketing strategies for platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn can help generate new business and
reach new target markets.
Keep on top of the latest trends in everything from sales techniques to events planning.
Profit and income
People who demonstrate strong sales abilities, along with energy, enthusiasm, and passion, can build a
profitable business through network marketing. It’s particularly suitable for those with an
entrepreneurial mindset, or who want to start their own business without many of the risks typically
associated with this endeavour, and can therefore create a steady income for themselves through an
MLM business opportunity.

Network marketing versus pyramid schemes

Network marketing is sometimes confused with pyramid schemes – largely due to the fact that they can
both form a multi-level network – but they are not at all the same thing. Network marketing is a
legitimate business model used by many reputable organisations, while pyramid schemes are scams and
criminal operations that will masquerade as a network marketing company.

Signs that an alleged network marketing business is actually a pyramid scheme may include:
The operation is focused more on distributor recruitment than on product sales, and pays more for new
recruits than it does for actual sales.
Distributors are required to pay for expensive starter kits in advance.
Information about the business is difficult to find online or elsewhere.
The products seem illegitimate or the compensation too good to be true.
Distributors are expected to pay significant amounts of money for registration fees, membership fees,
and large quantities of product straight away.
The company won’t buy back unsold products from distributors, even at a reduced price.
How to be successful in network marketing
Successful network marketing requires a number of key elements. Whether a distributor is just starting
out their operation, or is looking to expand their MLM business, it’s important to examine what network
marketing success looks like.

How to start off in network marketing

When first starting off in network marketing, it can be tempting to just sell whichever product is likely to
earn the most money, or just ask friends and family members to buy things. But for long-term success,
distributors need to ask themselves:

Is this the right company for me? MLM companies come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s important to
work with one that feels like a good fit. For example, does it sell products that the distributor can speak
about passionately and honestly?
What is my long-term business plan? Distributors should never assume that the bulk of their direct sales
will come from friends and relatives. Instead, they should develop business goals, an action plan, and
think like a marketing professional, developing a marketing plan to help stand out from the crowd and
ensure long-term viability.
Do I know everything I need to know? Distributors should take advantage of any training or mentorship
opportunities available to them through their MLM business.
Tips for success in network marketing
Once established as a distributor, there are a number of network marketing tips that can help increase a
person’s success rate.

Consider new ways of generating leads and marketing products. Think of online opportunities, such as
websites, blogs, and social media.
Use events to meet new people, educate potential customers about the products, and build or expand
networks.
Follow up with leads as well as with past customers to demonstrate commitment and reliability.
Understand the different network marketing systems
There are a few different systems or categories within the network marketing industry:

Single-tier network marketing, in which direct sales are the only source of a distributor’s income. Single-
tier network marketing also includes affiliate marketing.
Two-tier network marketing, in which direct sales and recruited distributors are both a source of
income.
Multi-level network marketing, which is similar to two-tier network marketing, but in which distributors
often earn a portion of their recruits’ sales.

All About Network Marketing

If you have great communication and sales skills and do not prefer the 9 – 5 schedule, network
marketing may be a good source of income.
This area of marketing is a business model that was pioneered by Avon, Amway, and Tupperware,
among many others.

While there are a lot of controversies surrounding the term, it has many advantages when done right.
Also, there are a lot more legit network marketing opportunities today in the digital marketing
landscape.

What is Network Marketing?
Network marketing involves creating a distribution chain for selling products of a company, and earning
commission from the sales the distributors make.

How Does Network Marketing Work?

In this marketing strategy, a company does not distribute products to stores. Instead, it leverages a
network of distributors who are particularly passionate and have immense knowledge about the
product.

When these distributors are able to sell the product, they earn a commission from the revenue made by
the main company.

Overall, there are two main strategies to generate revenue through network marketing.

Lead Generation
It is nurturing the relationship with anyone who shows interest in the product. In network marketing,
the communication is done face-to-face and lead generation can be multifaceted in approach.

Here are some things to keep in mind when you generate leads.

There can be situations where the customer may want to turn into a distributor under you. So you have
to ensure that they have the right selling skills.
All in all, your first customers are likely going to be relatives and friends, so you can recruit them and/or
train them.
Also, companies usually suggest their distributors to sell products to the top 100 people you know.
Have a look at sales courses!

Recruitment
Recruitment in an organisation is a highly planned process. And since you are doing it alone, you may
want to consider some tried and tested tactics.
If you are trying too hard to convince the people you interact with – why they should join your
distribution network or even buy the product – they may perceive it negatively.

Some things to consider

Try to incentivise them by offering them an initial sponsorship. Let them decide if they can help your
business instead of the other way around.
It is best if you do not put too much pressure on your new recruits. Instead, you can try showing
enthusiasm and encouraging them to do the same.
Focus on leadership qualities. You can offer coaching lessons to your new recruits and guide them on
how to convince others.

Types of Network Marketing

Network marketing works through a tier system. There are three tiers.

Single Tier
In a single-tier network marketing model, you do not have to recruit anyone but sell products to your
contacts yourself. It is like affiliate marketing, where you join an affiliate programme and earn a
commission based on the sales from clicks and views.

Benefit: In this type of network marketing, only you are paid.

Two Tier
The two-tier network marketing model is also followed by some affiliate programmes. Here you have to
recruit someone. Brands including Grammarly and Avon follow this model.

Benefit: You earn money from the business and from the sales your recruits make.

Multi-Tier
In the multi-tier system, there are more than two tiers. It is also called multi-level marketing. One
popular example of this is Amway.

Benefit: Every salesperson in the chain who is responsible for selling the product earns, and the ones
who recruit them also earn.

Pros and Cons of Network Marketing

Let’s explore the advantages of network marketing first.

Advantages
360-degree Flexibility
Network marketing is not only flexible regarding work hours, but also, gives you an upper hand on
whom you want to work with. You can also find many businesses that follow this business model.

By promoting products you like or the businesses you truly believe can help your prospects, it becomes
easier to sell transparently and honestly.

Another thing to note is that you are not limited to recruiting personnel. You can grow your distribution
network and earn more revenue.

Lower Costs To Begin With

As a business also, you can encourage customers to become your distributors and you can cut the
distributor prices.

At the same time, for you as an individual promoting and selling other products, there is no real
requirement for a huge infrastructure. Even when you are unsure, you can just start by buying the
sample product and try to sell it yourself without too many overhead costs.

Limitations
High Drop-Out Rates
In the network marketing business, a few remain successful in the long run. According to the AARP Study
of Multilevel Marketing, 90% of sales representatives leave an MLM (multi-level marketing) business in
one year. But this statistic is debatable, as these representatives who leave are not well-trained in
marketing or sales.

Too Many Rejections

There is a danger that network marketing can seem like a pyramid scheme where money is made
fraudulently by recruiting investors. For that, a lot of people instantly reject when you speak to them
about network marketing and opportunities. This is also one of the main reasons why many people drop
out abruptly.

One thing to note is that this marketing model has a low conversion rate, but if you pull through, there
can be a success.

Tips for Successful Network Marketing

Here are some tips that you can consider before you start with it.

Follow 1-3-5-7 Formula

Many professionals in the game follow this principle. They also mentor their recruits with it.

All in all, the formula equates to becoming skilled in selling for one year. If your efforts are consistent,
you can convert your career from part-time to full-time in three years. To earn a high five- to a six-figure
income, at least five years in the network marketing business is required. To make it further, you need at
least seven years.

Research the Company and Products

It is advised that you know the company well enough. You can check for its validity online. Just do a
Google search and see if it comes up on the first page results.

For example, if you type Amway on the search engine, its official website is the first result.

Amway google search results

Have a look at their social media handles and their content to figure out if their message resonates with
your business mindset.

Also, do thorough research about their products. Ask important questions such as, ‘do they really have a
market demand?’, ‘are these products of good quality and reasonably priced?’, and so on.

You can even refer to our blog on the marketing mix to understand the most important aspects of
marketing.

Leverage Social Media

Social media marketing best practices can be a boon. But yes, you have to create a consistent image
with regular posts. Also, do consider creating posts that do not look spammy.

Many experts suggest that you do not mention the name of the brand. Instead, you can try focussing on
building curiosity through actual customer/distributor testimonials and how they have been successful.

Parting Thoughts
So, what do you think? Is network marketing going to be your next step to earn residual income while
you work from home?

The thing is, network marketing is a double-edged sword. It has as many benefits as much as there are
an equal amount of disadvantages. But how you approach marketing, distribution, and selling a product
persistently will play a vital role in your success.

Multi Level Marketing Process
For those who have been exploring ideas and avenues to build an alternate source of income and are
ready to invest their time and energy into building a new business, Multi Level Marketing is the right
solution. With consistent focus and efforts, people have become millionaires doing business through
MLM networks across the world.

Fullscreen
The business of Network marketing essentially involves building network of distributors and selling
through the network. Though the business does not call for any investment in terms of capital, you will
need to invest your time and effort into the business.

It is but natural that you should be interested in knowing how to get started and what is involved in
managing this MLM business.

Training
Your first step in taking up the MLM business would be to become a distributor with the Company that
you have considered or decided to join in. As the business involves selling and recruiting distributors, the
company that you are joining or your sponsor will provide you with the detailed training on product as
well as on the art of selling.

The Company provides you with detailed product literature as well as promotional materials including
advertising materials and marcom tools to help you get started with the business. You will get to
understand the specifics of your Company’s product line, the quality and safety standards that they
meet up with, comparison against competition as well as on what questions are to be expected from the
people and answers to frequently asked questions etc.

Not everybody will be a born salesman. Especially in cases of people who are taking up MLM as an
additional business venture in addition to their main profession, they are likely to need an orientation as
well as detailed training to sell. Therefore most Companies also provide you with sales training apart
from product training. In case you are not being provided with sales training, it is better that you attend
a short workshop or a course to equip yourself with the art of selling. As the MLM business revolves
around meeting people, selling concept and helping people build the network; you will need a lot of soft
selling skills to help you conduct your business professionally.

Selling
Once you have been trained by the Company on selling, on product information and have been provided
with all the tools and materials along with starter kit, you are ready to start working. Your sponsor will
be available and working right through your training as well as helping you get started with the business
too. Your sales process will now involved prospecting or making a list of prospects, qualifying the
prospects, making an appointment with the prospects, meeting them and making a presentation of the
MLM business proposal, answering queries and helping them make up their mind to join the network
and following up with them regularly for a positive decision. Further on the process involves getting
them to sign up as distributor, providing training on product, selling as well as equipping them with the
tools, marketing materials and starter kit as well as motivating and working with them to help them
develop the network.

It is not expected that you will be perfect and achieve the desired results right away. As you start
working you will make mistakes and learn from your mistakes and experience too.

Besides recruiting and building your network of distributors, you will also try to build retail sales too.
Trying to build the retail sales involves making a list of prospects including your family, friends,
neighbors and the local community as well as your colleagues, your company and other companies
where you have known contacts too. There are many MLM distributors who focus aggressively on retail
sales too, especially to the companies. Selling to Companies and other user’s calls for one time effort
and you will find that the repeat orders keep coming in periodically without your effort. Then all that is
required is to spend time on managing the relationship and providing whatever service support that is
required.

End of the day, it pays to remember that MLM can be a huge success for you, provided you invest your
time and focus consistently over a long period of time. For any business venture to be successful you
have got to remain invested and focused. So is the case with Network marketing too. As you keep
working you will find your rewards coming through in the form of earnings as well as in the form of new
relationships that you build and not to forget, you become a better person with new and additional skill
sets too.

18 Best Network Marketing Success Secret For Beginners
Table of Contents
In this guide, we have brought down the practical network marketing success secrets which will be
worth your effort. But these are not rich quick methods or a sure winning method. Rather these MLM
tips are from our own experience that you can use to scale up your earnings.

What is network marketing?

Networking marketing also known as multi-level marketing is a chain selling business model for
marketing products & services of a company. The term used network signifies exploring individual
connections, and relations to nurture them into prospects and sell them the products.

18 practical network marketing success secrets

1) Knowledge and confidence in the product
No matter which product or service you chose to market. You should know the ins and outs of the
product since it makes you more informed and allows you to communicate with confidence.

But how do you know every aspect of your product and service? The simplest answer is to use it
yourself.

I mean just think about it, if you are using a product for a while you can be a better representative for
the feedback rather than a person who has never used it. Plus using the product has its own side
benefits, for example, you can know the real benefits of the product. What problem does this product
solve, how much quantity should this product be used for?

Just think about how valuable this information can be once you share it with other people. I personally
believe this is one of the simplest network marketing success secrets anyone can talk about.
2) know your target audience
Selling your product to everyone isn’t going to get you any sales. That is why it is important for you to
target the right set of perfect audiences for your product. Many a time people start by selling their MLM
business to their family and friends. Those may not be the ideal prospect to contact, therefore knowing
who is going to be interested in your product is very crucial for long-term success.

3) Contact list building

There is a well-known network marketing success quote I admire.

“In network marketing, the NETWORK always comes before the MARKETING” – by SILKE STAHL

It’s true because if you want to grow and create your own network of pyramids you need a list of people
you can contact. So bring up your phone contact and start writing down all the prospects you can reach
out to for networking.

The bigger the list and prospects you can come up with, the more business you can gather. Don’t forget
that you are not just selling products here but also making your own team who can do it along with you.

4) Tigger the importance of Social Media

Social media is a giant platform for building networks with people. According to searchenginejournal
Facebook alone have a monthly active user base of 2.9 billion people.

It is one of the cheapest mediums to reach your target market and promote your products. You can also
use video marketing for making attractive and engaging videos for better product awareness.

Moreover, with social media, you frequently provide information about your products and take instant
feedback this can further streamline your business communication.

5) No selling approach
The next step after list building is to communicate and invite those prospects. Make sure you don’t start
your calling directly with the sole purpose of business.

This is the biggest mistake bigger do when they first make a call. You first need to start with a general
talk and then come to your point of business. This is one of the oldest but most powerful MLM tips you
can take as a beginner.

For making this process more effective divide your prospect into the three category

Hot Prospects.
Cold Prospects.
New Prospect.
Hot prospects- are going to be the people you are closely in touch with. This includes people in your
family tree, school and college friends, neighbours, and the people with whom you connect on a daily
basis.

Cold Prospects- Under this category, you need to include people you know through a third-party
medium. Such as your friends’ family, and your relatives with whom you meet occasionally but are on
your connection list. People with whom you are connected socially, dig out your social media and find
them.

New Prospect- Not everyone around you knows you. So in order to build your reach, you need to start
connecting with new people. Making new contacts will lead to building a larger pool of networks,
remember network comes first before marketing.

So you need to select and nurture these people with the right communication skill set and attitude.

6) Invite for value

As a beginner, you should know that in networking marketing we use a direct selling approach. But that
doesn’t mean all you should care about is closing a sale. You need to provide genuine value to your
prospect for sales for longer terms.

But how do you start communicating with the prospect from the above categories?

Use F-O-E-M formula

Family- How is everyone in the family?

Occupation- How are kids doing? Is their education going well?

Entertainment- Have you heard about the latest series on the OTT platform?

Money- Is the business doing good?

As you can see the above formula helps you to start your communication. With every question, you are
moving your prospect towards the main reason for the call. Although you need to showcase your real
concern for them and create a trustworthy atmosphere. Not forcing them to buy your product and
services.

There is no magic wand or a network marketing success secret that can help you if you are not genuinely
interested in your prospect.

Tip:
Give Live examples through storytelling – After you have used the products now its time to start talking
about them. Be honest and tell people how much improvement you have got. You ca even give example
of other people and how much they have benefited through the products.

Make sure that these stories should be genuine enough to back them by proof. If you fake it, people will
know and the sad part is they would never believe you again.

7) Use K-M-P formula for showing the plan

As a beginner, you will face difficulties while showing your plan. It happens with everyone, so at this
point what’s more important for you is to see how others are doing. Start implementing it practically by
doing it yourself.

Our K-M-P formula will help you in your implementation phase

Key
Motivating
Point
Every individual has a certain ambition and goal which he or she wants to achieve. We call them Key
Motivation Points.

These can be in the following-

Adding passive income

Resolving health issues
Making space in society
Self-improvement
New career growth
Debt-free life
Quitting 9 to 5 work-life
Expanding business growth
Expanding Network. Etc.
Just imagine including these K-M-P while representing your plan, it would definitely put a lot more
weight on your presentation. Well, of course, it will depend on person to person. But if you can touch on
that motivating factor this can contribute more towards your network marketing success.

Now how can you get to know about people’s K-M-P?

->By asking a few simple but direct questions.

While having a conversation with them, ask them which one of the following K-M-P they want to
achieve. How important it is for them to achieve it. What action plan do they have to achieve them?
Once you know the answers to these questions, tell them point-blank. What if I show you a way to
achieve your goals within a set time frame. This is the right time to show your plan. Tell them how
joining your MLM business can help them achieve their K-M-P.

Isn’t this simple?

I mean just ask yourself do any of these tips look like network marketing success secrets from any angel?
No right, because they are practical proven methods on how you can convince people to join your
network marketing business.

8) Following the right marketing strategy

Developing your go-to-market strategy is crucial, it will help you to position yourself the right way in
front of your potential clients. In addition, the right marketing strategy would help in satisfying the
burning desire of your target market at the right time.

This has further been made easy with the help of digitalization through which you easily approach
potential prospects in Multi-level Marketing Business in a cost-effective way.

9) Set achievable targets

Personal Selling might be about numbers but you need to set your goals to achieve them. As a Multi-
level Marketer, you need to set the target for self-analysis. Anything that cannot be measured cannot be
improved, this can be applied to direct selling.

Therefore it is important to set the target on a weekly, monthly and quarterly level. Make a list of
people you are going to meet within a week. Set the follow-ups on time, and check the number of
conversions being made within a month.

By setting up small targets you can analyse your performance and set the next target accordingly.
Examining what has worked can help you improve further.

10) Evaluate the monthly performance

After setting targets and working upon them, it is also important to evaluate your performance. Analyse
what has worked for you within the last month and what did not. Moreover, it is also important to set
measurable criteria to improvise further. Lastly, make sure you are not biased while evaluating your
performance because it can affect your improvisation process.

11) Showcase customer reviews

54.7% of the people read at least four reviews before buying a product. That’s a clear indication that
customer feedback matters. Whether you are selling your product through online mediums or offline.

Therefore you should share the positive experience of people who have used the product before. This
will further build trust and influence the buyer to buy your product.

12) Create a live demonstration of your product whenever possible

People like to see the end result of the product. Make sure you can demonstrate how the product is
used and what outcome you can achieve with it. It can help you convince people based on what they
see. Therefore it can increase your chance of converting the lead into a purchase.

13) Educate yourself with valuable information

Following best MLM practices can be a useful way to generate leads for your business. But updating
yourself with new strategies and tools can get you ahead of the competition and help you stand out.

Frequently reading books and blogs can help you discover new ways of marketing. Try to get in touch
with an MLM expert in your niche to overcome new challenges and generate more business.

Stay updated with industry trends and come up with new ways to capture more leads by understanding
changes in consumer behaviour.

14) Make the work interesting

One of the best ways to stay motivated within your business is to make it interesting. You need to find
ways to make your work enjoyable yet effective. Regular client meetings and follow-ups can become
hectic over time. Therefore setting up small goals can provide a sense of accomplishment and can be
motivating.

15) Consistency is the key

Getting business in your early days is hard, you need to maintain consistency for improvements. That is
why understanding your target market is crucial so that you don’t waste your time and energy chasing
people who will never buy your product. Keep in touch with your potential buyers and don’t be pushy.

16) Maintain Self-discipline

Multi-level marketing is tuff business to be in, as an individual you need to schedule your work strictly.
Make sure you are on time to meet your client and try not to entertain any disturbance during your
meetings. It is also important to maintain a follow-up book to capture any possible lead while you are
networking.

17) Upgrading your skills

Network marketing requires a few mandate qualities such as, communicating, representing, selling,
strategizing, and networking. Therefore, In order to grow your business, you need to upskill yourself.
Discover the new techniques and tools that would help you to upgrade your critical skills.

18) Follow up
Taking follow-up is important because people are not going to buy from you at your first meeting. It just
doesn’t work that way. So you need to get back to your prospect and resolve any questions and queries
they have. Make sure you have a positive intent and help them resolve their query.

Remember what we told you in the beginning, these are not rich quick methods. If it doesn’t work the
first time go back and analyze which step you can improve on.

working up on personality development traits by following leaders i.e Jim Rohn and gathering resources
to learn.

His hard work and persistence transformed his life from being a construction worker to the 12th highest
MLM earner in an $860 million company.

3) Barry Chi & Holly Chen started their MLM journey with a Multi-level marketing giant i.e Amway
corporation specialised in manufacturing natural personal and beauty products.

Before joining the corporation, Ms Holly Che worked as a grade teacher in a small village in Taiwan. In
1982 they started selling Natural beauty products for Amway, and later on, dominated the US market

their individual amount of earnings rose to $650,000 a month and $ 7,800,000 Monthly.

Types of Network marketing

There are three types of Network marketing models available

1) Single-Tier Network Marketing

Single Tier network marketing involves selling products directly to the consumer. The product is
promoted and marketed by an individual without any distribution channel and sold to the prospect.
Once the product is sold, you get the commission directly. There are companies that offer Single level
network marketing programs such as Avon, Vestige etc.
2) Two-Tier Network Marketing
Two-Tier Network marketing involves intermediate selling that allows you to include agents under your
hierarchy. Your commission would be based on the direct sale you made by marketing your products.
However, depending on the company’s business model you would also get a small amount of
commission on the sale made by the team under your hierarchy.

3) Multi-Level Marketing
Multi-level marketing works on a vertical pyramid model. There are levels of sales agents working under
the hierarchy for distributing and selling products. The earnings are dependent on sales made as well as
the product sold by the member below the hierarchy. Moreover, Name Driven and Market Driven are
two other types of strategies being used under the MLM model.

Why or Why not Network marketing

This illustration includes a women not sure about her decisions.
There are a few clear reasons to be a part of the MLM business but there are reasons to stop you as
well.
No entry barrier- For every new business you need some amount of capital to start with. But with
network marketing, you don’t need an upfront cost to invest. The company and the product already
exist; you just need to market it with your own expertise. This is an area where our network marketing
secrets will help you out.

No inventory management- You don’t have to stack up inventories or a wide range of products with you.
Every time you make a sale, you are rewarded with a commission.

Potential to generate income- Multi-level marketing has proven to be a consistent income generator for
people. You can take it as a side business, or do it part-time. Although whichever option you choose will
have an effect on your income.

Less complicated to operate- Unlike any other business, you don’t have to invest your time in product
research, market research, or risk analysis. All you have to focus on is sales.

Multiple companies to choose from- There are many MLM companies available. We have mentioned the
best MLM companies below in this blog as well.

Why MLM is not for you

Highly competitive- Many people are part of MLM, and are aware of the pyramid scheme followed in
this business. You need to create your competitive advantage to win the market.

Not a rich quick scheme- If you think this is a model to make some quick cash then you are mistaken.
You actually need to put effort and time to build relationships with people and give them value.

It takes time to build a pool of networks- Creating and building networks down the hierarchy takes time.
So if you are not a person who can talk and build relationships with people. Then sustaining in this
business for the long term will be difficult for you.
How to overcome your fear of network marketing?
This is an illustration of people getting frustrated in discussion about network marketing
Few tips you can use immediately-
1) Good attire-
People judge you by your clothes first, so make a good impression in front of them. Now I am not telling
you to buy a $1000 suit. But wear representable clothes.

2) Smiling face-
Make sure you have a smile on your face to make the conversation smooth. Don’t overdo it, sometimes
people may take it in a different way. But yes always have a smile once you meet and leave the meeting
with your prospect.

3) Eye contact-
You need to be confident when showing business. Making eye contact allows you to back up your
information with the right set of body language.

4) Proper demonstration-
Make Sure you are prepared well and have all the needed material. You want to give a proper
demonstration in front of your prospect to take you seriously.

5) Latest information-
Be informed of the latest information that can help you in your sales pitch.

6) Keep it simple-
The most important success secret of network marketing is “KEEP IT SIMPLE”. You don’t want to
overcomplicate things with your prospect. It is important that they understand what you are saying and
don’t confuse them to take further steps.

and you don’t need to stick to one product. You can sell other products as well but in order to grow and
make money, you must sell something which is exclusive in the market. And that is the reason that it is
so important to study the Market. You must be aware of what excites people, what trends are going on
in the market, and also what are the rates people get those same products or services at? Also if you
intend to start something big, similar to a start-up through network marketing and planning to appoint
investors then also you must make sure that your product is exclusive in the market so that those
people want to invest in it.

STEP 2- IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

One of the most important steps is identifying your target audience and choosing your niche. You must
target those audiences that you are sure will get the benefit of your product or service because only
then they will avail your product or service. Targeting customers that have a popular online presence
can be very beneficial for your network marketing business since you can get more clients from their
reviews or references.

STEP 3- AFFORDABILITY
You must know the right value for the product and service that you are selling. Something that is great
and at the same time affordable has always been the best strategy to attract customers. Depending
upon what audience you are targeting, you can set the rate for your products because ultimately it’s
them who have to buy it, hence your prices must not be hefty and rather be kind of affordable for the
people.

STEP 4- REACH OUT TO NETWORK MARKETING COMPANY

If you want to become a successful network marketer quickly and easily then working for a network
marketing company is actually the best thing for you. Remember that there are many fraud
organizations running in the name of network marketing companies hence it’s important to work only
for good companies with a famous brand presence in the market. One of the most common examples of
this is Amazon’s affiliate marketing, where you can become a member of Amazon and by sitting at home
earn money through network marketing.

journey as a network marketer.

STEP 5- GETTING YOUR CREDENTIALS

Once you get into a network marketing company, boom gets ready for your main aim of building
networks. For this, it is mandatory that you get all your credentials done. It can be some sort of a poster
or banner or spreading cards to let people know about your business. You must also get access to
company brochures, samples, flyers, etc. You will also require some other basic stuff like stationery
items or any sort of gadget so get a hold of them and get started with your task.

STEP 6- LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES

After setting up correctly, you will get your success through clients, hence you need to look for clients.
You can start with your target audience and approach them. Since you are doing network marketing you
can narrow down your search to people you know like your friends and family. After that, you can
request references and promote your business in formal and informal gatherings. Thus, here your
communication skills come into play. Leave no stone unturned to brag about your product or service
wherever you encounter a large audience. For more quick results you can always take your marketing to
social media platforms as they are an excellent source to reach out to a greater audience. INSTAGRAM
MARKETING, FACEBOOK MARKETING, etc. Can be a great way to enhance the chains of your network
and make excellent connections for your network marketing business.

ADVANTAGES OF NETWORK MARKETING

You don’t need to do it full day and can do it as a part time work
Some people earn more income through network marketing in comparison to what they get from their
full time job.
It provides ample opportunities for people who aren’t employed and also don’t have much educational
qualification to access jobs in other fields.
It also provides work opportunities for students, housewives, senior or retired citizens and provides
them with a substantial income.
This business does not demand much of your investment and you can also start earning with zero
investment.
You can do this from home and don’t need to buy or invest in any infrastructure like office, separate
working space etc.
Often the products and services provided through network marketing tend to have a lower price than
those we purchase in the normal markets.
DISADVANTAGES OF NETWORK MARKETING
Majority of companies and businesses are fraudulent and it is very difficult to identify a trustworthy
company.
Sometimes the people engaged in network marketing are amateur and because of that good products
are also marketed badly leaving a dissatisfied impression for customers.
One bad marketing can result in losing a wide range of customers in this field and gaining them again is
almost an impossible task.
People are not completely aware about how the actual product looks since the product is not always
advertised via newspaper or television and thus are doubtful while purchasing it.
Despite it being an easy way of earning, network marketing does not guarantee a fixed monthly income
always because it all depends upon the customers you make and the items you sell.
EXAMPLES OF NETWORK MARKETING
Let’s have a look at a few of the real-life examples of network marketing and how some companies have
actually made a brand through this type of marketing strategy. The links are also mentioned for you to
become part of the network marketing channel for the companies given below;

Why and how to study network marketing
Why and how to study network marketing
Why and how to study network marketing
Sep 17, 2020 | Network marketing

Network marketing is often criticized. At the same time, it has been called the business of the 21st
century. Every year the network marketing industry grows by almost 2% worldwide.

The network marketing business model is habitually regarded with suspicion, but even the most
powerful corporations are no longer shy about using its elements and principles.
We know of at least two reasons to pay attention to network marketing. First, if you do it right you can
really earn a good income, including passively. Moreover, the amount of income only depends on your
efforts - it is for good reason that there are the most millionaires in the network marketing business.
Second, it is a great way to learn and develop skills that will come in handy in any traditional business
area. The modern network marketing businessman is, in fact, a master at a wide range of in-demand
professions, from marketer to sales manager.

How a network marketing business is organized in different countries around the world
The most developed network marketing businesses are in the United States and China. The USA is the
birthplace of multilevel marketing (MLM). The first companies that sold products through a network of
independent distributors began to appear here in the middle of the 20th century. Today, the country
has established legal regulations and supply networks.

Modern MLM companies are present in Asian and European markets. The first MLM companies
appeared in India and Russia at the end of the last century. It can be difficult for distributors to develop
their network in these countries because the business is not well established there yet. However, it has
a huge potential for growth in countries where network marketing has just emerged. And those who
start doing it first have a huge advantage.

Why you should do your homework before looking for your MLM company
In most network marketing companies, training is organized by partners. However, it can be unsafe to
come into MLM marketing with zero knowledge. Unfortunately, there are many "sponsors" on the
market who just want to collect an entry fee and are not going to give you any support or help in your
business. In addition, an MLM company may not be right for you. Therefore, before you take your first
steps in the network marketing business you should know:

what marketing plans an MLM company has and how you will receive income
how to create a passive income strategy that is right for you
how to choose an MLM company and assess the possibility of cooperating with it
You can get detailed answers to these questions in the «You Are Your Own Boss» course. It examines
the principles of the monetization of MLM companies. The course will also teach you more about how to
develop the business, recruit new partners, and avoid the typical mistakes of a beginner in an MLM
business.

How to grow in network marketing

The primary way to grow in network marketing is to follow the sponsor and to act like him. Therefore, it
is important for a beginner to find a person from whom he wants to learn and who wants to teach him.
This can be tricky, however. Even if you have managed to find a good sponsor, it is important to
understand that it is not enough to simply follow his lead. If you want to achieve more success than him
you will have to learn on your own.

The key to being successful in network marketing is building your image. This is what the «Right Image Is
the Key to Success in Network Marketing» course is about. During the course you will develop a step-by-
step plan for working on your image that will help you attract new partners. You will also learn how to
communicate with customers on a completely different level, create your own sales funnel, and learn
how to find the right approach to any person.

If you are not sure yet whether to take a course in network marketing, you can take advantage of a free
offer from Lectera and take the «Kung Fu Recruiting in Network Marketing» course. In this course you
will learn how to attract new people to your network, remove objections, and recognize strong partners
in an instant.

If you are firmly convinced that you want to develop your skills in network marketing, then the
Megacourse is the best choice for you. It is a powerful tool that will help you improve yourself as a
businessman, salesperson, and charismatic leader. The Megacourse includes all of the courses in
network marketing, as well as courses on:

Sales. Selling is essential for an MLM business. In the Megacourse, Lectera specialists have selected
courses with the best life hacks of successful sellers, as well as courses on secret sales techniques such
as NLP and storytelling.
Leadership. A successful networker is a good leader. He knows how to attract people to himself and how
to inspire them. Anyone can become a leader. How can you do it? We will tell you in these courses.
Negotiations. The ability to competently conduct negotiations is necessary when you are recruiting a
person to your network and when you are negotiating a sale. You will learn all about how negotiations
work and how to conduct them in order to achieve your goal.
Emotional intelligence. Developing our emotional intelligence allows us to read another person like an
open book; to see through him. This helps to attract new partners to the network and develop
relationships with old ones.
Network marketing is an opportunity not only to make money, but also to improve your leadership and
sales skills, as well as develop proactively. Lectera courses are a great tool to do this as effectively as
possible.

implement into your business today!

#1 – Network Marketing Professionals Know Their Target Market

To be successful with online marketing, you must first know your target market. Who are they? What do
they need? How can you help them?

The answers to these questions may vary depending on the industry and products that you’re offering.

However, one thing is certain: knowing who your target market is, will make it easier for you to create
content, services, and products that they will find valuable.

Once the target market is identified, it’s important to treat them with respect and give them quality
information that will help them make an informed decision about your product or service.

Once you identify your target market – you need to make sure that you’re speaking directly to them.

So, to be a successful online marketer:

You MUST understand your audience best suited for your small business opportunity
You must be in touch with their needs, their inner most desires for change
You must know what drives them to want to better their life
Use powerful language and visuals to draw them in with second to none, information.

#2 – They Have Their “Why” Established

This is very important!

This is your major driving force, your reason WHY you decided to make a move and become an online
marketer.

It could be family, financial freedom, or even time freedom.

Make sure it’s strong and you have it written down in a place where you can look at it on those days
when speed bumps seem to appear around every corner.

If your ‘Why‘ isn’t big enough to keep you driven, then I am sorry to let you know, statistics state that
the chances of you continuing, are NOT in your favor.

#3 – Network Marketing Professionals Do NOT Chase Family and Friends

One of the first things that most network marketing companies have you do when you join them, is ask
you to create a list of ALL your family and friends so you can reach out to them with your home-based
business opportunity.

This list of names is known as your Warm Market.

It’s suggested to leave your friends and family approach tucked away, for just a little while, at least until
you understand marketing a little better.

How does this advice affect you as an online marketer?

Well, depending on what your marketing is all about, it simply means that you’ll find much better
success if you target people who are already looking for what you have to offer – rather than trying to
sell your product or service to people who have no interest in it.

This way, you’ll be able to build a list of leads that are already interested in what you have to offer – and
will be much more likely to purchase your product or use your service.

The network marketing professional will never chase their family members or friends attempting to
convince them that this is the best opportunity to cross their paths since the invention of the wheel.

#4 – They Choose ONLY a Couple of Marketing Strategies to Master at a Time

Don’t overwhelm yourself with trying to accomplish too many marketing projects at one time.

Like any marketing business, there’s a learning curve to overcome, so be patient and hang in there.

It’s commonplace to get discouraged, but your success will be won through tenacity and perseverance.

See what other successful marketing pros are doing and learn from their successes.

Doing this will cause you to begin mimicking the way a successful marketing professional acts or thinks.

Ultimately, doing this can lead to a higher success rate overall.

#5 – The Network Marketing Pro NEVER Stops Educating Himself

This is a BIG ONE!

YOU must put in the time to work on yourself daily.

The top leaders and top income earners in today’s marketing world are also top learners.

These marketing professionals are avid readers with a daily ritual of self-improvement.
If you were to research any of these leaders, you’ll discover that they have a sizable bookshelf of
accomplished reading.

Simply put, if you take a look at anyone who’s made a significant amount of money in any online
marketing industry, you’ll be assured that they work on their personal development daily and have the
library to back it up.

Tip – If you want to see significant growth from your marketing efforts, you must constantly improve
your knowledge. Read Success books, research the Internet for Social Media Strategies, along with
Marketing Tips. Plus, any other topics to position yourself to be successful.

#6 – Marketing Pros Include Social Media in Their Everyday Business Activities
Are you still skeptical about the power of social media marketing to aid in the increased exposure of
your business?

If your online business doesn’t have a social media program in place to help spread the word about your
business, then you’re missing out.

The basis of any good marketing strategy would be to include social media in your daily business
activities.

There are many locations to begin the building of your business relationships… one good place to start
would be to focus on Facebook groups within your niche.

#7 – Network Marketing Professionals Stay Consistent

Consistency in marketing is a must!

Create a plan, write it down as a To-Do List, and remain consistent.

You MUST be consistent in your actions… without actions on a consistent basis, your business will fail.

Related Article: The Secret Software Used To Build His Online Empire… (It’s Free!)

When posting content, consistency is key. Not only is it better for SEO rankings with the major search
engines, but when your followers see you posting at a certain time, they come to expect it.

If you want your followers to remain loyal, you MUST remain consistent.

Even if you’re not seeing the results that you want in your marketing business, don’t give up.

Some days will be tougher than others. Keep in mind that virtually every network marketing pro had
thoughts of doubt at one time or another, but they kept pushing on, which brings me to my next tip.

#8 – They Do NOT Ever Quit!

The ONLY way you can ever fail in marketing, or any other business for that matter, is to quit.

The successful network marketing professionals of today at one time or another, had thoughts of
quitting but didn’t, and that’s why they are where they are now… TOP INCOME EARNERS!

Marketing, like any other online business, does take time to be found, but be assured the Results WILL
SOON Follow!

#9 – Network Marketing Pros Provide Value to Their Prospects

Listen CAREFULLY… we as online business owners are in the people business “People Don’t Join a
Business – They Join YOU!”

So, make sure this idea reflects within your writing.

Make sure you’re the reason they show up to your blog, using your own voice and your own personal
touch, to relate with your audience.

Make sure when your readers see that you’ve put out more content that they say to themselves, “I gotta
go see what he wrote because this guy gets me, and I trust him and all he says!“

Nutshell: They’re buying into YOU! Even if they’ve heard about whatever you’re offering from another
source, they’ll open their wallet and pull out their credit card and make the purchase, because they
believe in YOU, and what you have to say.

They trust YOU, so don’t let them down!

I’m sure that there is someone in your life that you like, trust, and look up to!

If this person were to say to use a particular product that will help you shed those last few unwanted
pounds, wouldn’t you give it a go if you were told it would accomplish what you desire?

To get to the point… one important way to build trust from your readers would be to provide value-
based content that your audience can benefit from, with no expectations from YOU.

Providing this worthwhile information will create a spellbinding magnetism causing your audience to
develop a thirst for more.

This action alone will build trust and in turn, your readers will begin to like you, and look up to you as an
authority in your niche.

OVER-DELIVER as it’s said in the marketing world!

If you’ve heard of attraction marketing before, you’ll know that one of the rules that attraction
marketing is based on is Value, to Over-Deliver beyond the reader’s expectations.
Conclusion – Marketing Secrets of the Network Marketing Pros

grow your small business, and I applaud you.

greatness.

Building any business, including a network marketing business, takes time to evolve… it will NOT be an
overnight success.

had struggles and hardships.

Network marketing has been around for quite some time, with some of the oldest network marketing
companies out there claiming to have been around since the late 1800s. In the 1980s, this business
model exploded in popularity in the United States, as many people were drawn to its flexibility and low
setup costs. And it’s still just as popular today.

But what is a network marketing business, exactly? How does this business model work? What are its
advantages and disadvantages?

This article sets out to answer these questions and advise you on choosing a network. So, if you’re
curious about network marketing and would like to find out more about this business model, read on…

What Is a Network Marketing Company?

Before going any further, we’ll provide you with an explanation of network marketing. In short, this
business model is based on individual representatives marketing a company and making person-to-
person sales.

Most often, these salespeople work from home and choose their own hours.

As the name suggests, people in the network marketing industry will have to build a network of people
to sell to as well as a network of other salespeople to generate leads and sales conversion. Some
network marketing companies are multi-tier, meaning salespeople are also tasked with recruiting more
representatives.

How Does a Network Marketing Business Work?

In network marketing, salespeople represent a company and sell their products for them. These
representatives then build a network of people to sell to—whether friends, family, or colleagues. The
sales representative then takes a part of the money from the sale, with the distributor of the products
taking a commission.

But what is networking marketing focused on selling, you may wonder? And the answer is: pretty much
anything! Cosmetic items, wellness products, household goods—these types of products and many
more are sold using this business model.
We’ve explained what a network company is, but why are so many people drawn to this line of work?
The next section will answer this question, while also explaining a few potential downsides to be aware
of.

Is Network Marketing Good?

Now that we’ve explained network marketing and how it works, hopefully, you have a fair
understanding of this popular business model. But you may still be wondering why network marketing is
so popular.

What is it about this business model that attracts so many people? Below, we’ve explained some of the
main benefits of network marketing.

Of course, this business model is not without its flaws. Networking company representatives tend to
believe that the overall rewards of network marketing outweigh the drawbacks – and so many people
are drawn to these companies. Let’s look at some benefits and draw backs in more detail.

Pros

Work from home. Especially with e-commerce network marketing growing in popularity, working from
home has become a viable option for many. This is one of the biggest draws of this line of work.
Flexible hours. Network marketing is also popular, as it gives you complete control over your working
hours. If you’re someone who values having a flexible schedule, work like this can be a great fit for you.
Low set-up costs. The low set-up costs associated with this business model is another reason why
network marketing is a popular choice. While prices differ between companies, representatives usually
only have to pay a very small initial fee when starting up.

Cons

Takes time to grow. Even the best network marketing opportunity in the world takes a lot of hard work
to get off the ground. You’ll be given the necessary marketing materials and will have the support of an
experienced team behind you, but it might still take time to grow a presence.
Possibility of rejection. The most profitable network marketing businesses out there have still had to
overcome rejection to get where they are. When you first start out, you may have dismally low
conversion rates—but don’t be discouraged! Persistence is key.
Illegitimate businesses. Network marketing sales companies are viewed with suspicion by some people
—and not without good reason. Unfortunately, there are some people out there who run scams
disguised as network marketing businesses.

What to Look for in a Network Marketing Company

Finding a network marketing firm to work for can be difficult. When making your selection, there are a
few things you can do to find the most suitable network marketing company for you:

Research the company thoroughly. Always make sure to research the company. See what customers and
representatives alike have to say about it to determine if it’s the type of place you’d like to work at.
Choose a company that appeals to your interests. Make sure the network marketing product you’d be
selling is one that’s relevant to you and your passions. That way, you will be a more effective
salesperson.
See what training they offer. It’s important that you know what sort of training is offered by the
company and from other places. Without this support, you will not be able to operate as effectively as
you otherwise would.

Keen to Experience the Power of Network Marketing?

If this article has captured your imagination, you may be interested in trying out a career in network
marketing for yourself.

When you become a network marketer, you join a worldwide community of salespeople who have
taken on this very same challenge.

In the event that you do decide to look more seriously into joining a network marketing business, keep
this article and it’s advice in mind.

HOW TO BUILD YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS ONLINE

How To Build Your Network Marketing Business Online

Building any business can be tough, and network marketing businesses are no exception. You’ve seen
other people grow their businesses – but how exactly do they do it?
Social media plays a big part, but it isn’t everything. There are lots to consider when growing your
network marketing business online, and thankfully, we’re here to give you the tips you need.

Keep reading to find out how to get started with your network marketing business online, and how you
beat your competitors.

Content Is Key
When you’re building your network marketing business online, content is key. When you begin, it can be
tough to think of content ideas as you have so many options – in this case, it’s best to narrow down your
business goals and create content based on your findings.

You should post content regularly, but don’t post anything that isn’t interesting, informative, or useful.
For best practice, create a content planner for each day of the week.

This can apply to social media posts as well as blog posts – make sure you’re posting at least twice a
week.

Planning your content in advance can also free up time for other important aspects of your network
marketing business, such as business plans and reaching goals.

Many people also schedule posts, using apps such as Hootsuite. However, most content scheduling
sites/ apps will cost money.

If you’re struggling to think of content ideas, try to get into the mind of your audience. What do they
want from you? How can you help them? What do they need to know?

Posting educational content is always useful for your audience. Write about tricks and tricks regarding
your industry, or create free resources or printables.

As well as creating original content, it’s good to share other people’s content that reflects your brand
identity and values.

Make sure everything you post is accurate, as any misinformation can be damaging to your brand’s
reputation. When you post, aim to get some engagement.

End most of your posts with a call to action – things such as ‘How do you ____? Let us know in the
comments or ‘What did you think of our post?’.

Be Active On Social Media

Social media is often an integral part of network marketing online. If you want your network marketing
business to grow online, social media is a good starting place.

It can help your business in various ways – it can help to drive traffic, liaise with customers, increase
sales, meet new clients and customers, and build the reputation of your business.

Social media marketing can take place on any platform, whether it be Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, or
LinkedIn. Having a strong online presence on different social media platforms can widen your reach, and
grow your business.

Moving online will reach far more people than your local area – after all, there may only be a few
thousand people in your local audience, but expanding online can reach millions if done correctly.

However, if you’re new to social media, then it’s best to ease yourself in. Instead of creating accounts on
every social media platform possible, dedicate your time to just one or two main platforms – for
example, Linkedin and Twitter.

This will give you chance to gain a better understanding of the scene, as each platform has different
audiences, and you should adopt a different approach for each platform.

Twitter, for example, is best for gaining a following and sharing snippets of information, whereas
LinkedIn is great for networking and sharing longer pieces of content, videos, and images.

Create An Action Plan

Every successful network marketing business has a solid action plan. If you’re a new business, set a
three-month goal to start with.

Break down this plan into weeks, and then days – this is to make sure that you’re doing everything you
can to build your business.

Many successful network marketing companies will have incentives and bonuses in place to encourage
meeting regular goals.

If you’re a one-man show or a small business, this can be done on a smaller or more personal scale – for
example, if you manage to gain 100 followers in a week, celebrate by going for drinks or sharing a
celebratory post to social media.

Network marketing revolves largely around numbers, and if you’re sticking to your action plan and
reaching targets, you know you’re doing a good job.

Set Your Goals And Stick To Them
In any business, it’s important to set solid goals and to do your best to monitor them and stick to them.
After all, how can you measure your success if you’ve not got goals in place?

Setting goals can motivate you to push forwards and grow your business the best you can. Try to set a
goal that requires hard work, dedication, and a little sacrifice.

However, it’s important to ensure that your goal isn’t too unrealistic, as this can lower your motivation
and leave you feeling disheartened.

If your goal is money-orientated, it’s especially important to ensure your goal is realistic. It can take a
long time for new businesses to build a steady profit, and this also applies to network marketing
businesses.

If your goal is money-orientated, avoid setting a strict timeline, as you’ll either feel bad if you don’t meet
the deadline, or you’re limiting your success to a certain figure or date.

Tracking your goals is key to reaching your goals. Although there will be ups and downs, tracking your
actions and goals can help you identify any negative patterns and give you insight into where you need
to improve.

It can also reassure you that you’re on the right path, so make sure you’re making a note of your goals,
and what actions you’re taking to reach them.

To meet your goals, you must get into the mindset that your business is your full-time job. Put all the
necessary work in and don’t procrastinate on the tedious aspects, as you’re only harming yourself in the
long term.

If you have an office, print your goals off and pin them up on your wall or place them on your desk –
make sure they’re accessible so you’re reminded of your goals.

If you work from home, pin a piece of paper with your goals on them on places you’re likely to see
regularly – your bathroom mirror, your kitchen cabinet, or even make it your laptop lock screen.

Goals become a lot more real when you’re constantly reminded of them, which can encourage you to
push forward and succeed.

the web will be much more useful than ever before.

Top 10 Network Marketing Companies in India
A network marketing company offers us to earn extra in our free time. It is considered the best source of
extra income over our regular income without any background knowledge and experience.

In this article, we will look at the top 10 network marketing companies in India at present. Before we go
to the top 10 network marketing companies in India, we will first have a brief look at Network
marketing, what it is and how it works. We will first decode the network marketing, and then we will
look at India's top 10 network marketing companies. So, let's start with what network marketing is and
why it is called MLM.

What is Network Marketing?

From the core definition, "Network marketing or direct selling is the movement of a product or a service
from a number of consumers to the ultimate consumer who actually consumes it."

Network marketing, also known as direct selling, is multi-level structured marketing, which is why it is
also called multi-level marketing (MLM). Network marketing or multi-level marketing is a pyramid
structure or style marketing strategy where a particular product is sold by the chain of individuals, not
by any specific shops. This chain of individuals or individuals does not have a fixed salary as in other jobs,
and they earn by getting commissions on the products they sell or the service they provide. The
commission on sales for an individual depends upon the individual's structure or position in the
company's pyramid structure. Individuals present at the higher position in the company will get more
commission, whereas individuals present at the lower position will get less commission on the sale of a
product.
Network Marketing Company
A company or service provider who follows the pyramid structure or technique for selling its products
and services is called a Network marketing company or MLM (Multi-level marketing) company.
According to the current data, in 2021, more than four hundred MLM or network marketing companies
will be present in India. The government also approves of India, and they all are working on a big scale
somewhere.

Example of Network marketing companies: Today, many popular network marketing companies are
present in India. We surely have come across at least one of them or encountered with their employees
in our life. Amway, Forever 21, Vestige, MI lifestyle marketing global private limited, Oriflame etc., are
the name of some of the popular network marketing companies.

Among all the network marketing companies, the one who follows the pyramid model on a regular basis
creates different tires of salespeople or, correctly to say, a salesperson for them. These salespeople are
encouraged to add more salespeople to their company. In such companies, creating another tier of
salespeople also gets some number of commissions to people sitting at the upper positions of the
pyramid structure or upper tiers.

Right now, network marketing companies account for roughly $167 billion worth of revenue every year.

With all this money floating around in this space, many people look to network marketing as a possible
source of part-time income or more.

Let’s take a look at what network marketing is and what some of the most profitable MLMs look like as a
worker.

Which Is the Top-Rated Network Marketing Company?
When it comes to rating MLM companies, revenue tends to be the way most people go.

These companies can generate a large amount of revenue for themselves with the right product and
salespeople.

The top-rated MLM companies are:

Amway: $8.8 billion in annual revenue and a company net worth of $4 billion.
Jeunesse: $8 billion in annual revenue and an average company growth rate of 17% each year.
Natura Cosmetics: $7.77 billion in annual revenue and a company net worth of $5.7 billion.
LG Household and Health: $6.6 billion in annual revenue and a company net worth of $23.4 billion.
Isagenix: $6 billion in annual revenue.
Which Is the Best Paying Network Marketing Company?
Overall, earning a livable wage with network marketing is tough.

You don’t have the same support system in network marketing that you do in other forms of marketing.

Because there isn’t that support system there to help you out, many folks stumble along while trying out
this style of venture.

In general, Tupperware and Nu Skin offer the highest average incomes for their sales folks.
Neither of these companies reports high earnings though.

On average, network marketers for these companies make between $150 to $200 per month, which
won’t cover more than a few small bills.

On the plus side, neither of these companies have expensive starter kits.

Is It Possible to Make Over $1,000 a Week With Network Marketing?

For most folks, earning a living wage with network marketing will only be a dream.

It takes a large number of sales to earn $1,000 each week with the products you will market.

[/area]

What Is Network Marketing?

Before we get into the most profitable MLMs out there, let’s talk about what these companies use to
help push their product: network marketing.

How Network Marketing Works

Network marketing refers to a style of business that uses social relationships to build up sales for the
company.

Generally, these companies encourage their sales reps to create business partners or hire teams that
can help with things like finding leads for sales and closing deals.

The term goes by several different names, such as multi-level marketing, affiliate marketing, cellular
marketing, referral marketing, and consumer-direct marketing.

By using this style of marketing, the MLM company creates a sales force that can market and interact
directly with customers.

Rather than having the company create brand deals with retailers or setting up warehouses for online
stores, the company instead uses its sales force as an almost decentralized resource for leading and
generating sales.

Who Hires Marketing Companies?

Part of generating sales through network marketing involves getting the word out there about the goods
or services the marketer wants to provide.

To get the community in the know, some sales teams for network marketing companies will work with
other marketing firms that can create eye-catching ads.

Since many of the sales teams in network marketing companies come from locals, advertising is different
than what other larger brands will do.
Instead of wide-scale online ads, networking marketing relies on understanding the local area and how
to reach the people that live in the community.

A marketing firm from the area can help hone in on strategies that work for the area.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Network Marketing

Like every marketing strategy, there are pros and cons to relying on network marketing for your
business.

Advantages
The advantages we have seen for companies using network marketing include:

A network marketer can make a large return on their investment.

Initial investments when joining network marketing are not as high as starting your own business or
marketing firm from the ground up.
Despite some stigmas, network marketing and pyramid schemes are separate entities with definitions
set by the SEC.
Disadvantages
Still, there are some disadvantages to relying on network marketing, such as:

A network marketer will have to put in a lot of work to create the kinds of returns possible through
network marketing.
While starting a business is expensive, the starter kits for most network marketing companies are pricy,
too.
Many pyramid schemes in the past called themselves multi-level marketing companies, resulting in
negative stigmas becoming associated with the term.
What Are Network Marketing Programs?
Network marketing programs refer to programs offered by companies to sell their products or services
via network marketing.

Let’s take a look at what these programs are like and how they affect the network marketing industry.

Key Features of Network Programs

While the specifics of each program will change between companies, network programs share several
features such as:

A strong hierarchy of sales agents based on the number of sales they do

A lack of traditional advertising due to the reliance on direct sales and social networks
Unfixed salaries due to the sales force working almost entirely for commissions
Is Network Marketing a Pyramid Scheme?
In a pure form, networking marketing isn’t a pyramid scheme.
Instead, this marketing strategy is an attempt to get away from the traditional way of employing a sales
team and storage center for products.

By offshoring those concerns to a sales team across multiple communities, the company can instead
focus on manufacturing their goods and improving on them.

The problem comes from the fact that many pyramid schemes in the past styled themselves as multi-
level marketing companies.

However, rather than focusing on generating sales, these schemes instead searched for new folks to buy
expensive starter kits of goods that barely worked.

Can I Make Money by Joining a Network Marketing Program?

Plenty of people who join a network marketing program earn money.

The problem is that it doesn’t tend to make a huge amount of money.

The AARP Foundation did some research and found that just over 3% of participants in network
marketing programs make over $25,000 per year.

The truth is that many of these companies are tough to earn an income from.

Between a combination of how these programs are structured and the fact that not everyone has an
entrepreneurial spirit, it’s not surprising that many folks don’t see huge rewards from these programs.

What Are the Top Network Marketing Companies?

Here are the top network marketing companies that are standing out in the industry.

vector graphic showing a podium of network marketing top company illustration

1. Amway
A screenshot of the amway homepage
Amway is a home and beauty company founded in 1959.

They have a large range of brands they sell, including iCook, Nutrille, and Artistry.

Best For
For folks looking to work with the highest-grossing health and beauty MLM company, Amway is a great
choice.

This company is also a good choice for folks that can afford a somewhat expensive starter kit.

Notable Features
Amway has some notable features for working with them, such as:
Decent discounts on Amway brands for both home use when selling to others
You can specialize in one part of their catalog or generalize to reach a wider market
Amway rewards their marketers with both commissions on sales and with a portion of the commission
earned by folks you recruit.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Amway earned $8.8 billion in revenue for the year.

Average Network Earnings

Amway isn’t well known for its worker earning high salaries.

Most marketers for Amway earn less than $2,500 per year.

Our Take
With decades of history and a broad catalog of products to choose from, Amway is a solid entry point for
folks new to the network marketing world.

2. Market America
screenshot of the market america homepage
Market America offers a huge range of products and services for marketers to sell.

Best For
Folks were willing to risk an expensive upfront cost to see if they can crack into the top earner’s charts.

Notable Features
Some of the biggest perks to working with Market America include:

Marketers who work with Market American earn a high commission on the items and services they sell
on top of large kickbacks from recruiting new folks
With more items in its catalog than most other MLMs, Market America has plenty of space for one to
specialize
Training and software packages to help get you started when you join their team.
Company Revenue
As of 2019, Market America brings in about $7.3 billion per year.

Average Network Earnings

Between the high cost of training and the large initial volume of products you have to buy, many folks
don’t turn a profit working with Market America.

Our Take
Unless you’re willing to put in a lot of time and effort into selling and recruiting, Market America doesn’t
seem like a good fit for most people.

3. Avon
screenshot of the avone homepage
Avon, while mostly a beauty and skincare product MLM company, also dabbles in other areas such as
fashion and wellness products.

With their many years in the business, Avon has put a lot of effort into building its network of network
marketers.

Best For
Folks that feel comfortable using direct selling tactics to move beauty products, personal care products,
and other similar items.

Notable Features
Here are the notable features of working with Avon:

The company offers a 25% commission for orders over $40, meaning many orders qualify for you to earn
money on them.
The company has been around for 150 years, meaning that there’s little risk of you falling into a pyramid
scheme.
With the range of both men’s and women’s products in their catalog, you won’t be hurting for beauty
products to sell.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Avon brought in roughly $5.3 billion in revenue.

Average Network Earnings

Between the average sale volume and recruitment bonuses an individual makes when working with
Avon, most folks barely make over $1,000 a year before expenses.

Our Take
Unless you become an MLM leader for Avon, don’t expect huge returns.

This could be a decent side gig for someone passionate about beauty products, though.

4. Herbalife
A screenshot of the herbalife homepage
As a nutrition MLM company based in the United States, Herbalife offers health supplements and other
wellness products.

Best For
For folks with an interest or expertise in nutrition, Herbalife would be a good fit.

The range of supplements and skin and hair products will be products well-known to any health buff
making them an easier sell.

Notable Features
Some of Herbalife’s biggest features include:
No minimum purchase amounts and a 12-month, money-back guarantee for folks that become an
Herbalife rep.
The training materials and information you get as part of starting your work with them are a decent
primer to learning about nutrition.
Herbalife has an active distributor community for getting folks involved and oriented.
Company Revenue
Herbalife reportedly made $5.5 billion in 2019.

Average Network Earnings

Herbalife no longer shares the average earnings for its reps on its website.

Still, it seems like many folks report earning less than $1,000 per year.

Our Take
While the earnings don’t stand out, the community and assistance Herbalife offers are solid.

This MLM business would be a good fit for anyone interested in healthy living.

5. Nu Skin
A screenshot of the nuskin homepage
Nu Skin is a multi-level marketing company that also specializes in skin and beauty products.

However, the company also has committed itself to a social responsibility program as part of its core
ideals.

Best For
Many an MLM company sells beauty products, but folks interested in anti-aging products will fit in well
with Nu Skin.

Their ageLOC product is among the most popular of their catalog items.

Notable Features
Some of the big features of working with Nu Skin include:

A focus on charitable donations to feeding starving children and environmental sustainability.

Access to unique personal care and home care products.
A complex payment structure that involves sales and recruitment to earn large commissions.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Nu Skin saw its revenue earnings grow to $2.54 billion that year.

Average Network Earnings

In 2017, the average Nu Skin marketer earned just over $1,800 per year.
Our Take
Nu Skin seems like a solid choice for folks interested in personal care, but the company has had several
run-ins with the FTC.

Working for Nu Skin can be rewarding, albeit risky.

6. Infinitus
screenshot of the infinitus homepage
While many network marketing companies offer personal care and nutrition services, Infinitus gives an
array of traditional Chinese products for buyers to use.

Best For
For the health nuts across Canada, Australia, and Asia, the products Infinitus offers will appeal to you.

In addition to health food, the network marketing company also has herbal supplements and skin and
health care products.

Notable Features
Some of the biggest features of working with Infinitus are:

A network marketing company trying to bring more transparency to the space with detailed earnings
reports.
A global reach extending to Canada, Australia, and much of Asia.
The ability to get started selling Infinitus products for only $25.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Infinitus brought in $3.41 billion in global revenue.

Average Network Earnings

Due to the confusing pay structure of the system, Infinitus reps don’t tend to break the $1,000 each year
selling for the company.

Our Take
While the idea seems cool, it seems that Infinitus has a lot left to do to bring more transparency to MLM
businesses.

In the meantime, this company will be an okay way to earn some side income in select countries.

7. Vorwerk
A screenshot of the vorwerk homepage
Vorwerk is a direct selling company that specializes in kitchen appliances and other home goods.

Their biggest product is the Theromix TM6 multifunction kitchen appliance.

Best For
For the chefs and healthy eaters in North America, Europe, and China, Vorwerk could be a good fit for
you.

Notable Features
Some of the key features of working with Vorwerk include:

Half-price starter kits when you buy the Theromix TM6.

Free, online training tools to learn how to set up both physical and virtual demos of the products you
want to sell.
Opportunities across three continents to sell products and build connections.
Company Revenue
Vorwerk earned $4.36 billion throughout 2019.

Average Network Earnings

Vorwerk doesn’t publicly share how much their reps make.

However, there are many first-hand reports that, like other MLM companies, Vorwerk reps don’t earn
much.

Our Take
While Vorwerk sounds interesting as a possibility, the lack of info on how much they pay their reps is
disheartening.

Without knowing how much these folks offer, it’s hard to recommend them to folks.

8. Natura
screenshot of the natura homepage
Based out of Brasil, Natura is a personal care product business with offerings for men, women, and
babies.

Best For
Given their sustainability initiatives, Natura would be a good fit for anyone looking for sustainable
cosmetics.

Notable Features
The notable things about working with Natura include:

A commission-based affiliate marketing program including free shipping for certain size orders.
50 years of experience in the personal care product space, which they use to create their newsletter for
representatives.
Expansion into the mobile market, including a meditation app.
Company Revenue
Natura made $7.77 billion in revenue in 2019.
Average Network Earnings
Natura offers no specifics on how much their reps tend to get paid or how expensive it is to receive your
starter kit as a new rep.

Our Take
Once again, a lack of info about the financial side of things means that it’s hard to recommend Natura as
a side venture, let alone a serious opportunity.

9. Pharmaex
A screenshot of the nuskin homepage
As a department of nu Skin, Pharmaex is a health supplement company that deals mostly in vitamins
and herbal treatments.

Best For
As another MLM business selling health products, having some prior knowledge about this otherwise
technical field helps.

Notable Features
The notable features of working with Pharmaex include:

Access to the rest of Nu Skin’s catalog to give you a wider range of possibilities for your marketing.
Discounts on health products including weight loss supplements, vitamin and cofactor supplements, and
anti-aging products.
The high commission structure for Nu Skin’s standard catalog also applies to Pharmaex products.
Company Revenue
As a subsidiary of Nu Skin, Pharmaex is part of Nu Skin’s annual revenue of $2.54 billion.

Average Network Earnings

Just like Nu Skin, Pharmaex reps earn around $1,00 per year on average.

Our Take
Many of the same reasons to work with Nu Skin apply to Pharmaex.

10. Coway
A screenshot of the coway homepage
Coway offers products for water systems, air filtration, and other bathroom care products.

These products can be either leased or purchased outright, depending on what the customer wants.

Best For
Folks that understand the importance of clean air and water will mesh well with that Coway wants to
accomplish.

Notable Features
The big reasons to work with Coway include:

Access to a unique set of products, at least within the MLM business world.
An understanding that you work with folks holding a wide range of expertise in purification systems.
Supporting a company with a huge emphasis on plastic recycling.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Coway brought in $3 billion in revenue.

Average Network Earnings

Coway has a lot of conflicting information about their rep’s payment structure, meaning it’s hard to
know how much you can expect to earn.

Our Take
Until Coway releases clearer information about how their reps are paid, we can’t recommend working
with them.

11. Tupperware
A screenshot of the tupperware homepage
Tupperware is a plastic storage system business.

They offer a range of storage solutions for food and home goods.

Best For
Tupperware has been a go-to MLM business to work for thanks to how high demand is for storage in
homes.

Anyone new to network marketing will do well here since the product is easy to understand.

Notable Features
The notable features of Tupperware are:

The products are affordable, making them easier to buy and sell to others.
Tupperware products tend to carry high praise for their durability and reliability.
Most people know Tupperware, making marketers less likely to be associated with pyramid schemes.
Company Revenue
Tupperware earned $2.26 billion in 2019.

Average Network Earnings

The vast majority of Tupperware reps make less than $10 per week while selling the products.

Our Take
While Tupperware is easy to understand as a salesperson, it’s hard to recommend them due to the lack
of revenue available for most reps.
12. Young Living
A screenshot of the young living homepage
Young Living is an MLM business that started with essential oils but more recently expanded into selling
personal care products and supplements.

Best For
If you enjoy alternative medicines, or just like the aromas given off by essential oils, this company could
be a good fit for you.

Notable Features
The notable features of Young Living are:

The essentials kits to get started costs only $30, but provide a wide range of resources to get you
started.
The starter kit also comes with a large number of online resources.
Essential oils have been taking off as a consumer good over the last few years.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Young Living earned $2.2 billion in revenue.

Average Network Earnings

Young Living has very low earnings for most of its reps.

After expenses, almost 90% of Young Living reps make four dollars for the entire year.

Our Take
While Young Living has some interesting products, it’s not a profitable venture for most marketers.

13. Oriflame Cosmetics

A screenshot of the oriflame homepage
Oriflame Cosmetics is a cosmetics MLM company that operates out of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Best For
Cosmetics aficionados in the countries Oriflame operates out of might find this company to be a good fit
for their expertise and skills.

Notable Features
Oriflame’s most notable features include:

Oriflame sets up a personal store page for each Brand Partner.

The membership fees and starter kits are among the cheaper within the MLM space.
The guides you receive to get started come in both physical and digital forms.
Company Revenue
Oriflame Cosmetics made $1.4 billion in 2019.
Average Network Earnings
While Orfilame touts a 20% commission on sales, they don’t mention how much their Partners make on
average in their yearly financial report.

Our Take
Much like the others on this list, we can’t recommend you try out Oriflame without knowing what they
payout.

14. Rodan + Fields

screenshot of the rodan + fields homepage
Known for their skincare products, Roden + Fields offers treatments for several skin concerns such as
wrinkles, acne, and skin sensitivity.

Best For
Folks that have education or experience with skincare products will have a leg up on others when joining
Rodan + Fields.

Notable Features
The notable features for Rodan + Fields are:

A huge number of awards for its skin treatments means the company knows what it is doing for
skincare.
Rodan + Fields operates in four countries now with plans to expand into a dozen more.
The starter pack, which includes some samples for products, comes in at $75.
Company Revenue
Rodan + Fields brought in a total of $1.57 billion in 2019.

Average Network Earnings

The average earnings for a Rodan + Fields rep in 2019 were $306 per year.

Our Take
While Rodan + Fields doesn’t promise much monetarily for reps, the products seem solid and have
helped many folks with their skincare concerns.

15. Jeunesse
screenshot of the jeunesse homepage
Jeunesse is a wellness and beauty product MLM business that offers a range of products meant to
enhance how you feel both inside and out.

Best For
As a newer company, Jeunesse hopes to recruit younger reps to match the youthful vibe they are
growing.

Notable Features
Working for Jeunesse has these startup perks:

A wide range of tiers and preferred statuses can change based on how much product you can sell.
The company strives to deliver on its cruelty-free promise when making its products.
Many of the formulations have solid scientific backing for the concerns they cover.
Company Revenue
In 2019, Jeunesse brought in roughly $8 billion in revenue.

Average Network Earnings

66% of reps for Jeunesse earned less than $245 in 2022.

Our Take
Compared to some of the other skincare businesses on this list, Jeunesse doesn’t pay as well as others.

Wrapping Up
The top company to rep as a network marketer depends on what kind of products you want to sell.

Each company has a different commission and onboarding structure that set it apart from one another.

However, many of the picks we covered here aren’t clear about how they pay their reps.

When it comes to network marketing, keeping an eye out for red flags like that can be the difference
between a solid side gig and a money sink for you.

How to Succeed in Network Marketing: 12 Tips to Getting Started
January 12, 2016 by ListGuy

Are you just starting out in network marketing or looking for ways to boost your business? If so, then
you are in the right place. In this post, I’m going to share my best 12 tips for those who are new to
network marketing on how to succeed.

1. Choose a product or service you believe in.

This first tip can literally make or break your entire network marketing career. By choosing something
you believe in, your path to success is automatically going to be 100% easier.

Why do I say this? Because it’s simple. Here’s what happens when you believe in something.

You don’t have to force yourself to work every day. You’ll want to work because you’ll be passionate
about what you’re doing.
You don’t have to force yourself to talk about it. You’ll want to talk about it to just about everyone you
meet naturally.
You don’t have to force yourself to sell it. You’ll want to sell it because you know it is going to have a
positive effect on someone’s life.
You don’t have to force yourself to get others involved. You’ll want to get others involved because the
more people who are selling it, the more lives can be impacted by it.
You don’t have to force yourself to be motivated. You’ll love the results of what you are doing beyond
just the money. Therefore, you will be motivated every day.
The great part about network marketing is that it is easy to find a product or service you believe in.
There are hundreds of companies out there that offer network marketing opportunities in the form of
direct selling, multilevel marketing, affiliate marketing, and referral marketing.

2. Get a mentor.
Once you’ve chosen a product or service you believe in, you might want to consider getting a mentor.
This could be the person who recruited you into network marketing in the first place. If that’s not an
option, then the next best thing would be another successful network marketer in your area.

Your mentor should be someone that teaches you how to do network marketing right. They should be
someone that can teach you how to set up your business, how to establish yourself, how to network
effectively, how to sell your product, and how to recruit others.
While getting training online is an ideal place to start and to continue your network marketing
education, having someone you can ring up with questions, chat with over coffee, and introduce you to
the right people is a great way to solidify the information you learn online and make it actionable for
your business.

If you don’t know someone who can be your mentor, you can always search for direct selling and MLM
mentors and coaches online. Refer to their blog, social profiles, and other sources of information about
them online to determine if they are a good fit for you.

3. Create a business plan.

Business plans are not just for startups that need funding or multi-million dollar corporations. If you are
starting or running any business, including a network marketing business, then you need a plan. Even if
you never show it to anyone else, a business plan can help you in a variety of ways.

Here are the sections commonly included in a business plan, and what each of them will ask you to
cover.

Company Description – This section asks you to define what you do, what differentiates you from your
competitors, and who your target customer is. You will get asked this a lot throughout your network
marketing career, so it’s important.
Market Analysis – Have you thoroughly researched network marketing and your potential customers?
This section encourages you to research your industry, market, and competitors.
Organization & Management – Are you going to be the lone star in your business, or do you have one or
more partners? This section asks you to define each person in your business – how much they own,
what their skills are, how long you have worked with them, etc.
Service or Product Line – If you chose something you believe in, this part will be simple. This section asks
you to get into the details of what you are selling, including how it will benefit your customers, what is
the product lifecycle, and what the story is behind your product or service.
Marketing & Sales – Have you decided how you plan to increase your revenue? This section asks what
your business’s marketing and sales strategy is.
Funding Request – You can skip this unless you actually need funding for your business.
Financial Projections – How much do you realistically think you can make from your network marketing
business? This section asks you to outline your projected income and expenses.
Executive Summary – This is a summary of the above information placed at the start of your business
plan.
You don’t have to go into formal details with your business plan if you don’t plan on actually submitting
it for funding to banks or investors. But the more detailed you get, the more of a solid view of your
business you will have.

4. Come up with a tagline and story.

It’s important to know how to answer the question of what do you do when asked, especially since that
can segway into making a sale of a valuable new addition to your sales team. Hence, you will want to
come up with your tagline and network marketing story.
The simplest explanation for both of these items is this.

Your tagline should be one or two sentences that explain what you do based on who you are talking to.
For example, if you are talking to someone who would be a potential customer of your network
marketing product, you would use the following tagline.

Hi, I’m Lisa and I create customized plans for people who are looking to get into the best shape of their
life.
If you are talking to someone who would be a potential sales rep for your team, you would use the
following tagline.

Hi, I’m Lisa and I help people who are passionate about getting others in shape turn their passion into a
career.
Your network marketing story, on the other hand, should be the full explanation as to why you are doing
what you are doing in the first place. It should tell people who you are (and how that qualifies you to do
what you do), how you got started in your network marketing career, why you love what you do, and
how your network marketing career has changed your life.

Your network marketing story is what you will follow up your tagline with if the person you are talking to
looks interested in learning more on the spot.

5. Create a website.
If you don’t have a personal website already, now is the time to create one. Your website is the place
you will ultimately send your visitors to collect lead information, make online sales, and much more.

If you’re sitting on a network of 5,000 Facebook connections, you may be wondering why you need a
website in the first place. The reasons are simple.

You don’t own Facebook.

Facebook could close your account at any time for violating their rules.
Your 5,000 connections on Facebook could be lost.
Those are just a few reasons why you need a website. When you collect leads off of your website
(names, email addresses, phone numbers, etc.), you will own those leads. You can back them up, export
them, and contact them at any time by reaching their inbox or their mobile.

No one can take those leads away from you.

Hence, you will want to create a website that has a minimum of one page’s worth of content that tells
who you are, what you do, who you can help, and how you can help. That page should include a contact
form or email list sign form (or both) so that people who are interested in buying your products or
becoming a member of your team can submit their information to learn more from you.

6. Create a presence on the top social networks.

Of course, having your own website doesn’t mean that social media will be useless. Networking on
social media is a great way to build relationships and drive traffic to your website so you can gather
important leads for your network marketing business.

If you choose only one social network to join and actively participate upon, it should be Facebook.
Facebook is the most popular social network in the world. It has the most active daily users and thus,
has the most opportunity for you to connect with potential customers and sales recruits.

You can use your personal profile to connect directly with people.
You can use your page to advertise to people.
You can use groups to get people interested in your network marketing business to convene and engage
with each other.
Twitter should be the second choice for your network marketing business. I recommend this network
because you can engage with just about anyone, regardless of whether they are connected with you or
not. This makes Twitter a great place to meet new customers and sales recruits.

From there, a lot will have to do with the nature of your network marketing business. If your business is
related to B2B or selling to business professionals, try LinkedIn. If it is B2C and retail based, try Pinterest.

7. Put your tagline and a link to your website on every online profile you have.
Every online property you have should have should have two things: your tagline and your website link.
This will allow you to make the right first impression on anyone who encounters you online and ensure
that they can get to your website so they can become a lead.

On a daily basis, look at the networks you log in to. Social networks, forums, discussion boards, etc. If
they allow you to have a profile, and that profile allows you to describe yourself and link back to your
website, do it.

8. Make the right kind of online connections.

Don’t get overly caught up in the numbers game online. It’s great to max out your 5,000 connections on
Facebook, but only if those connections are the right ones. In addition to people you want to connect
with personally, you will want to make sure that you are only connecting with people who have the
potential to do the following three things for your network marketing business.

Become customers who buys your products or services.

Become sales reps who sells products or services under you.
Become advocates who tells others about you and your products or services.
If you don’t know someone personally, and they don’t have the potential to fit in one or more of the
above areas, then you don’t need them in your network. Online or offline.

9. Get a business card.

To become successful in network marketing, you will have to pursue both online and offline
connections. Before you pursue the latter, you will need a business card. Some may consider them old-
fashioned, but when you meet someone in person, you’ll need it to make an impression.
Your business card should include the basics: your photo, your name, your tagline, your phone number,
your email address, and your website link. This will ensure that the recipient of your card will not forget
who you are and why they need to get in touch with you.

Just be sure not to completely rely on the recipient contacting you. Get their business card or
information directly in your phone so that you can follow up with them too.

10. Find the right networking events in your area.

Once you’re armed with a business card and a plan, you will want to find networking events in your area
where you can meet potential customers and sales recruits. BNI, Eventbrite, Meetup, your local
chamber of commerce, and the events calendar on your city’s official website are great places to start.

If you’re friends with other network marketers, potential customers, and potential sales recruits on
Facebook, you can use the handy Facebook search option to find the upcoming events your friends plan
to attend. This search will show you events that they are both interested in attending and plan to attend.

11. Look for ways to turn hobbies into networking opportunities.

Remember that networking can happen anywhere. It’s just a matter of determining where the best
places are to find your potential customers and sales recruits. If you sell a health product, then any place
people go who want to become more healthy – gyms, sports clubs, hiking hotspots, etc. – are options
that you can turn into networking opportunities.

To utilize these types of places as networking opportunities, you need to actually be into them yourself.
You can’t just walk through a gym and hand out your business card. You need to join the gym, workout
there, take some classes, and get into the places where you can start up a casual conversation.

You also need to be good at spotting the right opportunities. Trying to deliver your tagline to someone
running up a hill isn’t going to be as effective as trying to deliver it to someone sitting on a bench tying
their shoes.

12. Recruit in quality, not quantity.

When you are ready to start recruiting sales people to work under you, remember that the goal should
be quality, not quantity. You don’t want to spend a lot of time recruiting people that are just going to
lose interest in a couple of weeks or people who are not effective at sales in the first place.

Take the time to get to know someone to make sure they have the same goals and passions as you. If
you choose them as part of your sales team, take the time to train them properly so that you know
when they go off, they will be ready to sell and ready to recruit additional quality members for your
team.

40 Dos and Don'ts in Network Marketing Business For Beginners (2023)
The Do’s and Don’ts knowledge are supposed to be a priority for serious Network Marketers since the
biz involves dealing with 1000s of people.

Dos and Donts

Dos and Don'ts in Network Marketing
A long-term business like Network Marketing, which completely depends on building trust with others,
is to be done carefully.

Any wrong step or mistake might cost you to lose a diamond prospect which could have created a
turning point for your business.

As a direct selling business owner, it’s strongly recommended to follow the system of the company
which you joined.

The journey might sound difficult but many have already done it and are living a lifestyle that is really
enjoyable.

If someone can do it, you too can and the only thing that can make that happen is to do the right steps.

40 Dos and Don'ts in a Network Marketing Business:

With daily actions as a Network Marketer, make sure you do these so that you might have better results.
You also must be having a much better success blueprint from your company or up line but at the same
time, you can use this for some more references.

Dos In Network Marketing:

Here are some important things you need to be doing if you are serious about building a successful long-
term Network Marketing Business.

1. Be Serious About The WHY Factor:

Do you have the strongest reason why you want to become successful in a Multi-Level Marketing
Business? Or did you just joined to give it a try, maybe to earn few extra bucks through marketing? To be
honest, this is serious biz, to be done for at least 2-5 Years or more with extremely hard work.

Anybody who has taken a decision from the head to complete serious tasks will always take a u-turn
when the going gets tough. Do not do this business if your reason to succeed, doesn’t make you wake up
in the night.

2. Choose the Best Network Marketing Company:

Do you want to be a part of a company which appears in the market this month and going to vanish with
your money in a few months' time? Be wise, as you live in the time of the internet and everything can be
pulled up with Google.

Why not research the company that you want to join, open the history and learn how long it’s been on
the market. MLM or Network Marketing industry is full of crabs and rip-off scam artists, who will steal
your money if you are not careful. No company is absolutely best in every way, but be clear about what
you are really passionate about and choose it.
3. Hey, always think Positive:
Before you climb a huge mountain, with many difficulties and you desire to reach the top, don’t you
think you need to set your mind first? Network Marketing is certainly not the easiest business out there
and you need a strong positive mental attitude to succeed.

Positive thinking is that inward voice you have in your head every single day, convincing you that you
can do it. So, always learn to speak with a voice of hope, strength, prosperity, health, and every good
thing that you want into your life.

4. Gang up with Top Network Marketers:

As a Network Marketer, who wants to succeed you need to associate with the most successful
entrepreneurs in the business. By far this is one of the most important topics in the Do’s & Don’ts lists,
which is a success booster for you.

If you follow the footsteps of someone who has already done it, your chances to make it happen are
much higher. Just look for a leader who genuinely cares for your well-being in the business and copycat
their success blueprint.

5. Always write down your dreams:

People who are really successful in a Network Marketing business are all big dreamers and visionaries.
There is something called a subconscious mind and what it can do to your life if you realize the power of
it.

So, you are supposed to write down your dreams and goals, on paper and pictures, stick it somewhere
you can see every day. When you see what you desire, every single day your subconscious mind will be
activated and you will start taking actions to achieve it.

6. Your Life Depends on it:

Not only about a direct selling business, but consider a life and death situation incident where you are
ready to do anything to save your own life. Or it may be the lives of your loved ones, what are you
willing to do to save the life of a sick daughter, your only daughter.

Your success as a Network Marketer depends on your seriousness and willingness to do whatever it
takes to make it happen. When you have made that decision from your heart, nothing should be able to
stop you from moving forward in life.

7. MLM Leads Generation Tactics:

Gone are the days when a Network Marketer always depended on the cold market, friends, and families
for their MLM business. Especially at this age of technology, you have a great advantage of many free
online public platforms to generate MLM leads.
You need to master the art of generating more interested prospects for your business and that is the
warm market. When you do prospecting to people who have shown interest in a home-based business,
your chances of growth are much higher.

8. Educate & Train Hard:

You need to remember the motto of a direct selling MLM business which is to learn and earn more.
Most legitimate and top Network Marketing companies always have great training sessions on a regular
basis for their members.

This is a process that will be ongoing for you, even if you make it to the top, never stop educating
yourself every day. Train and take action like it’s your last day and with that kind of determination, you
will make it happen.

9. You Do Need To have a Rhino Thick Skin:

So, how do you behave when 50 people rejected your business opportunity in the last 5-10 days and
how do you face all the criticism? Before you join as a Network Marketer, remember that this is not a
business of weak-hearted people.

Even if you are a shy person, you need to train yourself to become a marketer with a 'rhino' thick skin.
There will be a lot of criticism, rejections, and mockery throwing at you from every direction in a
Network Marketing business.

10. Remember Honesty is the best policy:

Your honesty is like a seal of trust especially with a people’s business like an MLM and this is the best
policy for long-term success. Be honest about yourself and in every deal relating to money as 100s of
your downlines with look up to you as an example.

11. Be Passionate about what you do:

You got to love what you do if you really want to succeed in life and that’s the only way you will keep
going no matter what comes next. Being passionate is about being addicted to what you do and this has
to happen with your direct selling business too.

A person who is addicted to something always comes for more and this usually happens to people who
are addicted to bad habits. What if, you become addicted to good things in life, and you keep coming for
more every single day?

12. Be a Time-management expert:

98% of all the Network Marketers are working part-time to earn a passive income and you need to be a
time management expert. You must write create a timetable based on your daily activities and make at
least 1-2 hours of free time for your MLM biz.

13. MLM Presentation to new people every day:

Always focus on daily activities and consistent growth in your business by taking action showing your
presentation to new people. What you do every single day as a Network Marketer will compound over
time and you will reap your rewards in the end. If you do an active online lead generation focus on
showing your business to 3-5 new people daily.

14. Sponsor 10-30 new members a month:

Sponsoring and recruiting is the name of the game in the direct selling business and learn to go for
quality prospects. If you show your business opportunity to 3-5 or more of your highly targeted MLM
leads, you will have good conversions. Always target to sponsor at least 10-30 quality prospects every
single month and duplicate your success with them.

15. Become a ‘Guru’:

Every new recruit you bring into the business is full of doubt, questions and they will be exposed to a
negative environment other than your MLM community. It’s your responsibility to equip, encourage and
guide them every step of the way.

16. Learn people’s skills:

This is another high-priority Do’s & Don’ts list of Network marketing as you will be meeting all kinds of
people. In fact people smart entrepreneurs always make it at the top of this business as this is a
Network of people.

17. Stay connected online:

If you want to become an authoritative figure in your industry you need to be transparent and stay
connected with others every single day. The social media platform is an absolute breakthrough for many
businesses to build trust with their consumers. Build a social media profile or pages related to your niche
and keep updating your testimonies online.

18. Duplicate and Build an Army:

Duplication is the key to success in a Multi-Level Marketing business and this is how you make money
while you sleep. This is where the business of Network Marketing becomes one of the greatest part-time
opportunities to create wealth. You become a success and then you create more successful people like
yourself while in the process.

19. Earn & Invest:

Most Network Marketers fail to do this as it’s not tough in their companies which are to re-invest your
money in building assets. When you make a lot of money, people keep buying things for short-term
pleasures, rather invest them.

You can re-invest in buying a piece of real estate, reliable company shares, stocks, or other assets which
will give you more passive income. In fact, you should never rely on a single income source but create
multiple income sources, for real financial security.

20. Become an example:

When you become successful and helped others to become like you, many people will love and admire
you. That value should be passed onto your children and your generation. Create an example and
become a person who has great values in life and it’s not just about an MLM biz.
Don'ts in Network Marketing:
Here are another 20 serious don'ts you need to remember while building your direct selling business
and avoiding this will make you succeed in no time.

1. Never say “We are the Best”:

What happens when someone says to you that, we are the best in the world and there’s no one like us?
The moment you start to brag about yourself is the moment you will start breaking trust with someone.
It really doesn’t matter how many cars, private planes or how much money you got, people are primarily
interested in themselves. Your Network Marketing presentation should be more focused on how the
opportunity or the products can benefit them.

2. Never have a lottery ticket buyer mentality:

Imagine a person, spending $10 on a lottery ticket and think about what he exactly want with that, a lot
of money overnight, right? What are the odds to winning a lottery for 10,000 people spending $10 each
to win 100,000?

A Network Marketer with a long-term mentality is primarily motivated by the rewards he could get in
the next 2-5 years. Short term mentality people always end up being broke or working for someone else
for the rest of their lives.

3. Don’t Make the Mistake of treating it like a hobby:

A hobby is something you do when you have nothing to do and you do it mostly to kill time or waste
your time. Some people make hobbies a little productive based on person to person however your direct
selling business is a serious business. If you conduct your business like a hobby, you are not so sure
about what you want and chances are you are not going anywhere with it.

4. Stop annoying family & friends:

The old tactics of cold marketing where everybody makes a list of everyone that they know and start
ringing their phones no longer work. Even if you are doing that, you need to do it in a nice way without
annoying them.

Prospecting in Network Marketing is much more than just showing a business presentation but gaining
trust and relationships with people. If you are someone whom people can trust easily, your words will
be counted and people will join your group or buy from you.

5. Don’t be a loner:
Don’t be a lone wolf in a direct selling business because it never worked in the past and it will never
work in the future too. It is always wise and recommended that you learn from the mistakes of others
who have already done it.

Since the MLM business, involves meeting new people every single day, you are supposed to be learning
by remaining in a success-minded team. Always get counseling and training from your leaders before
you take a new step.
6. Don’t spam online:
Nowadays everybody is a victim of online marketing spam where 100s of marketers are blasting sales
emails 3-5 times a day. Does anybody want to respond to such emails and online posts in social media
groups?

As a smart Network Marketer, learn to do marketing tactics where you don’t sell every time to others
but gives value. Give Free training, Free E-Books, or something that ad value to others using online
platforms.

7. Never take rejections personally:

Don’t ever think rejections personally in your Multi-Level Marketing Business, but consider it as one step
closer towards your diamond prospect. Remember, in a direct selling business, you are bound to be
rejected and criticized by 100s of prospects.

8. Don’t stop using your MLM products:

If you don’t use your own MLM products or services, how can you go out and tell everyone about it? You
will be representing a business opportunity and you are supposed to experience what can your products
benefit you in real life. Never stop using your own direct selling products and let others see you are
speaking from real experiences.

9. A no-no to a selfish sponsor:

Before you join as a Network Marketer, always check your up line or sponsor and how is he willing to
help you to succeed. There are marketers who just want quick bucks and after sponsoring you, they will
just vanish with some profits. Your up line is going to be your first guide in your MLM biz and a very
important long term biz partner.

10. No time for low mentality people:

Association with the right people is everything in Multi-Level Marketing biz, so avoid people who are
negative and dream stealers. You must identify people who are serious about their lives and people who
just enjoy being mediocre. Have nothing to do with those groups of people who have no goals and
dreams in their lives.

11. Don’t become like a weird office boss:

Everyone in the direct selling business is a business owner and you need to be an example to others
becoming a leader in the industry. Know the difference between a leader and a boss, as nobody likes
someone looking over their shoulder and giving orders.

12. Don’t invest time with nonserious downlines:

Even if you have sponsored 100s of Network Marketers, only a small percentage of people will be
serious about the biz. As a leader, you are required to identify members who are serious about their life
and the biz. Invest time with people who are taking action to get results and only with those downlines
who are willing to do whatever it takes.
13. Never expect too much from others:
Remember that your business and your life don’t depend on the efforts of others but on you and your
determinations. You sponsor 20 good members doesn’t mean you sit and wait for what they do next in
your MLM business. Keep doing what you are meant to do every single day and that is how your success
will be achieved.

14. Don’t just focus on width:

There are different Network Marketing compensation plans, and most of them allow unlimited width
except binary compensation plans. If you want long-term sustainable business growth always focus on
building depth in your MLM structures.

15. Never miss events:

Events, meetings, seminars, and training are the success booster of your direct selling business and you
should never miss them. Many companies with legit and reliable systems always conduct these events
from time to time and you should bring all your members to such events always.

16. Don’t stop reading:

Don’t you ever stop reading books and learning from many sources, since life has a lot to offer you in
every way. To become a great Network Marketer you must be reading and develop a daily habit for it.
No matter what level you reach, you are always far from perfection and you must put your effort into
better things in life.

17. Never pre-Judge others:

Don’t make the mistake of pre-judging people based on how they appear in the moment, what they do
or how well known they are. Many prospects who are excited now may quit the next week and few
people who are not much interested might become your next diamond prospect. So, keep doing your
good work and stop judging others.

18. Act now & don’t procrastinate:

Most unsuccessful people have the characteristics of procrastination and always keep postponing things
that they can do today. In a people business like MLM, you need to act fast because this is a world filled
with competitors. The person you wanted to speak to, the next day may be introduced to the same biz
by someone else today before you even approach.

19. Don’t waste your time:

As a serious Network Marketer, you should never waste your time on unproductive habits that add no
value to your life. Your whole being must be transformed into a personality that people will admire. Use
your free time to do things, which are meaningful to your life and the life of others in a positive way.

20. Don’t you ever quit?

Now, this is the most important tip of our Dos and Don’ts in a Network Marketing business. Haven’t you
heard, winners don't quit and quitters never will win, and this is the key to your success? You must be a
person who really doesn’t know how to quit and only then you will achieve great success in life.
Final thoughts about Dos and Don'ts in Network Marketing:
In fact, there are many Do’s and Don’ts which is not mentioned here, but I am sure a few of these tips
might be helpful to you. Whether you are an experienced Network Marketer or just a beginner, your
success depends on your commitment. So, before you do anything important in life, just sit down and
think if it’s a worthy goal to achieve. You have free will and once you make your decision there shouldn’t
be any excuse.

The Network Marketing is becoming a great opportunity to people around the world to make money.
Also to help personal development as individuals. Some started operations since the 50’s. It’s a

Here’s what quantum computing is—and how it’s going to impact the future of work, according to a
software engineer
Quantum computing has the potential to solve equations in a matter of minutes that would take
traditional computers tens of thousands of years to work out.

BY NAHLA DAVIES7 MINUTE READ
Researchers have been studying quantum computing since 1981 when physicists, engineers, and IT
visionaries (including one Nobel laureate) convened at a chateau-style mansion outside Boston to assess
the possibilities that quantum mechanics could have on the future of technology. Since then,
researchers have developed the first quantum computer models and made forays into large-scale
quantum computing machines.
The industry has now moved past the first phase of quantum computing, and huge international
companies including Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, and Honeywell are investing in the further
development of quantum computers for industrial purposes.

In fact, experts today suggest that with its widespread applications and transformative potential,
quantum computing is leading the next technological revolution. But quantum computing is also
becoming more expensive, so many have been left wondering what impact this new technology will
have on businesses.

I’m a software engineer and technical copywriter. My job is to understand technology and to be able to
clearly communicate how it works and how it can be applied. So here’s how quantum computing works,
and how it will impact the future of business and work.

HOW DOES QUANTUM COMPUTING WORK?

The digital devices that we rely on so heavily in our day-to-day and professional lives today—
smartphones, tablets, laptops, fitness trackers, etc.—use traditional computational technology.
Traditional computers rely on a series of mathematical equations that use electrical impulses to encode
information in a binary system of 1s and 0s. This information is transmitted through quantitative
measurements called “bits.”

Unlike traditional computing, quantum computing relies on the principles of quantum theory, which
address principles of matter and energy on an atomic and subatomic scale. With quantum computing,
equations are no longer limited to 1s and 0s, but instead can transmit information in which particles
exist in both states, the 1 and the 0, at the same time.

Quantum computing measures electrons or photons. These subatomic particles are known as quantum
bits, or “qubits.” The more qubits are used in a computational exercise, the more exponentially powerful
the scope of the computation can be. Quantum computing has the potential to solve equations in a
matter of minutes that would take traditional computers tens of thousands of years to work out.

CUTTING-EDGE USES OF QUANTUM COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY

With its remarkable ability to process vast quantities of information in moments and transmit
multidimensional information, quantum computing provides huge potential for evolving technology.
Quantum computing will have an impact on the trajectory of manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and
cybersecurity, to name just a few evolving applications.

For financial institutions, the power of quantum computing can be harnessed to craft sophisticated
trade simulations using high-speed financial modeling to make marketplace predictions. Financial
institutions can use quantum computing to increase security, boost fraud detection capabilities, and
perform in-depth risk analyses.

Soon we will begin to see financial institutions using quantum computers to develop highly advanced,
streamlined investment portfolios for their clients. Recent studies have shown that 80% of financial
institutions recognize the possibilities presented by AI. Many of us in the industry believe that, coupled
with quantum computing, we will see a burst of fintech developments and technological evolutions of
traditional brick-and-mortar financial institutions.

The pharmaceutical industry is also adopting quantum computers, as researchers can use quantum
computing to simulate molecular interactions, which will allow for the quick development of new
medications. Using quantum computing for intensive DNA studies may lead to healthcare providers’
ability to offer gene-specific cures.

In the fields of engineering, aerospace, and military development, researchers and designers can use
quantum computers to create sleeker, more efficient aircraft models. Air traffic controls and traffic
coordination systems can likely be made safer using quantum computing. And military intelligence can
also benefit from the vast power of quantum computing.

In addition, quantum computing can be used to enhance cybersecurity and intelligence gathering,
providing stronger data encryption services and high-level intrusion-detection systems. Quantum
computing will contribute to big data search processes, as well as the rapid development of AI and
machine learning.

Quantum computing may even revolutionize our domestic power sources, providing electrical energy
based on nuclear fusion processes.

THE CHALLENGES FACING QUANTUM COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY

To keep up with the new demands caused by the widespread adoption of quantum computing,
businesses will need to be ready to adjust their preexisting security protocols, networks, and data
processing platforms. I believe quantum computing will ultimately cause businesses to embrace new
types of algorithms.

Since quantum computing provides nearly instantaneous processing of data and information, some
believe traditional forms of cybersecurity may be made irrelevant. So businesses will need to reinvest in
new forms of cybersecurity protection and newly secured modes of digital communication.

In addition, quantum computing itself faces many challenges as it develops. Like traditional computing,
quantum computing requires human double-checking to ensure that any errors are identified and
corrected. This can be a costly and time-consuming endeavor, particularly given the sensitive nature of
today’s quantum computers, which are affected by noise and are often challenging to calibrate
correctly.

Vibrations (including those caused by sound), temperature, and other environmental factors can impact
the calibration of the quantum computer, leading to errors in the computations. Unlike the bits that
power traditional computers, qubits are sensitive and temporary, making it difficult to construct a
functional quantum computer in the first place. There is currently a lack of qubits overall that prevents
developers from creating the highly functional quantum computer they desire; researchers thus far have
been able to produce only 128 maximum qubits at a time.
Other fields are closely watching the development of quantum computing. The White House has
indicated that advanced quantum cryptographic pursuits can become a major issue of national security
if the technology falls into the wrong hands. Plus, AI powered by quantum computing could generate
unexpected results. All of these factors will also affect businesses as they learn to adjust to the positive
and negative consequences of quantum computing.

HOW THE FUTURE OF WORK WILL BE IMPACTED BY THE “QUANTUM LEAP”

Quantum technology is set to transform our entire digital landscape, and investors are taking notice.
Venture capital investments in quantum computing grew by 500% from 2015 to 2020.

I believe businesses today should pave the way for the seamless integration of quantum computer
technology in the near future. By investing in quantum computer infrastructures, organizations can
benefit from the early adoption of these revolutionary new technological abilities. This will give early
adopters the competitive edge in a burgeoning industry to get ahead of the competition before
quantum computing becomes more widespread.

Importantly, business owners and HR managers should create and conduct education and training for
their employees, ensuring that everyone on their teams is amply prepared to interact with and utilize
quantum computing tools and capabilities. Employees should be encouraged to attend courses and
conferences where they will learn the most up-to-date information about quantum computing.

In addition, business owners should prepare to adopt necessary new security protocols and defense
systems to meet the increased demands of quantum computers. Businesses can prepare by hiring IT
professionals to conduct risk assessments that reveal possible weak spots and vulnerability points that
may be exploited by bad actors.

Leaders should ensure that they maintain compliance with the latest national security rules and
regulations. One example is the payment card industry data security standard (PCI DSS), which includes
several requirements designed to ensure the security of customer cardholder data. Any possible
changes that can be made in advance of new quantum computers should be made.

As quantum computing technology continues to mature, business owners can map out development
and adoption strategies, charting a course for how to integrate quantum computing and AI into their
business most effectively so that once the technology is ready to be used, they can adapt seamlessly.
Until that point, businesses can conduct experiments and trial pilot projects to test out possible
functions and benefits of early-stage quantum computing models.

While quantum computing continues to be in the development stage, businesses across sectors can
soon expect to see monumental shifts in computing capability that will have a range of effects. The fields
of security, manufacturing, product development, healthcare, finance, aerospace engineering, and
others will all be impacted by the revolutionary potential of quantum computing.
To get ready for this huge shift in technology, businesses should assess their cybersecurity
infrastructures, invest in employee training, prepare to reinvest in new cybersecurity protective
measures, and start to map out ways to integrate the radical possibilities that quantum computing will
provide. I believe that soon quantum computers will be as pervasive as the smartphones and laptops of
today.

HOW TO TAKE YOUR NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
11 May 2020 | Network marketing

How to take your NM business to the next level

With recent reports that one in four workers in the UK are likely to be furloughed during the Coronavirus
pandemic, many people find themselves with more time on their hands this spring. Some may choose to
use this time to work on their professional development, upskill or pursue new hobbies. Others see it as
an opportunity to look into new ways of generating income, in addition to their day job. Then there are
also those that have sadly lost their jobs as the economic crisis unfolds and who may now consider ‘non-
traditional’ types of employment.

Most people “fall” into Network Marketing through friends or family who recommend a product or
service to them. They use a product, like it and sign up to become a distributor because they get the
products at a reduced rate and think they may be able to get some of their friends and family as
customers. At this stage, the majority of people aren’t seeing this as a serious business opportunity, they
just like the perks that come with it. But be it through necessity or an increased desire not to rely on
traditional forms of employment, here are a few ideas on how to take your Network Marketing business
to the next level.

SHIFT YOUR MINDSET

The biggest change will need to be your mindset and the way you approach the opportunity – it is no
longer a hobby, but a business to provide an income for you and your family. With that realisation come
responsibilities that business owners have. Read up on what your tax and bookkeeping responsibilities
are (you can find lots of information on our blogs), what business structure is most suitable for you and
some basic business skills. Be under no illusion that having your own business requires a lot of hard
work, resilience and dedication.

LEARN THE ROPES

You may have never run a business before and may feel nervous about what it involves. Your first port
of call should be your upline. They should be able to share their experience and best industry practice
and put you in touch with others who have gone through a similar journey. Your organisation should
also have resources available for you to draw on and provide ongoing support and mentoring. How does
the industry work? How does my organisation’s commission structure work? What are the features and
benefits of the services or products you sell?

START MARKETING YOURSELF

This is the fun bit: create a name for your business, a basic website and your social media profiles. You
might want to get some business cards and/or flyers printed to give to people when you meet them.
There are two ways Network Marketers make money, so you’ll need to work out a plan on how to
achieve a balance of both. Where and how are you going to try and attract new customers? Once you’ve
got a larger, satisfied client base, you can look at ways to recruit other distributors for your team.

INSPIRE YOURSELF
Ignore the negative press about the industry and focus on those who have turned their Network
Marketing venture into a successful business. Try and follow their story and learn from what has and
hasn’t worked. Ask questions and always continue to learn.

GROW YOUR DOWNLINE

The bigger your team, the more money you are going to make. However, effectively managing and
leading a team are skills that not everyone has and that may need to be learned and developed over
time. It’s no longer just about you but with a growing team comes a shift from selling the product or
service to customers, to mentoring and developing your team.

A career in Network Marketing is multi-faceted and relies on the same skills and attributes that would be
needed to run a successful business in any other industry. Good luck!

Understanding Multi-Level Marketing
Getty
Multi-level marketing (MLM), also known as direct marketing or network marketing, is a method of
selling products directly to consumers using independent sales representatives.

MLM companies tend to appeal to new recruits with promises of wealth and independence. While not
illegal by definition, many MLMs have become infamous for their controversial business practices—and
others have been revealed to be little more than illegal pyramid schemes.

What Is Multi-Level Marketing?
Multi-level marketing companies use people instead of retail outlets to sell their products to customers.
This puts the responsibility for selling into the hands of independent distributor networks.

Under the MLM model, distributors are not employees of the company. Instead, they’re individual
business owners who recruit their own distributor networks to help them sell products. Multi-level
marketing firms rely upon this extended network of independent distributors to generate revenue.

How Multi-Level Marketing Works

To understand how MLM works, think of a pyramid. In our example, Alice is the first independent
distributor hired directly by Direct Marketing Company. Alice becomes the top of the pyramid.

Alice recruits five independent distributors, who each turn around and recruit five more independent
distributors, and so on. This fills out the pyramid that Direct Marketing Company relies upon to sell its
products.

Alice is the sponsor, or upline, of everyone she recruits. The people she recruits (as well as all the people
they recruit) become her downline.

The directions of these relationships are important to keep in mind because they impact the money
everyone in the pyramid earns in most multi-level marketing schemes. All distributors pay a portion of
their earnings to the company as well as to those upline of them.

“MLM distributors earn money from selling products to people they know, commissions from each
person they recruit to the company and commissions from the sales and recruits generated from their
own recruits, continuing down multiple levels,” says Christine Alemany, CEO of TBGA, a branding and
marketing support agency. “In order to succeed, a distributor must continuously recruit as many
downlines as possible to join their team.”

Typically MLMs offer a detailed compensation plan that outlines precisely how these upline and
downline relationships work and how distributors get paid. These plans spell out things like recruiting
and sales commissions as well as define the requirements a member must meet to be eligible for
compensation, usually expressed in minimum sales targets and numbers of new recruits.

Pyramid Scheme vs. MLM

It’s understandable if the dynamic of MLM companies has you questioning if they’re little more than
pyramid schemes. Both, after all, operate with the same pyramid-shaped structure.

So what makes one legitimate and the other an illegal scam? It comes down to the sales versus
recruitment focus in the compensation plan.

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), “if an MLM is not a pyramid scheme, it will pay you
based on your sales to retail customers, without having to recruit new distributors.” Pyramid schemes,
meanwhile, rely on continuous recruitment of dues-paying members to stay afloat, even if they require
members to keep buying products that they may not be able to sell.

MLMs and the 70% Rule

For an MLM to be compliant (i.e., legal and not a pyramid scheme), it must adhere to the 70% rule that
“at least 70% of all goods sold must be purchased by non-distributors.”

That means consumers outside the company need to be buying the majority of a company’s products—
rather than downstream in the distributor network or with the distributors themselves stocking up on
inventory. But it’s incredibly hard to prove if an MLM isn’t in compliance, note Alemany and Cory Rusin,
a researcher who works closely with former multi-level marketing distributors after they leave direct
sales.

“It’s almost impossible to track if a distributor has stashed unsold products in their garage or closet,”
says Alemany. “For the most part, MLMs take their distributors at their word.”

And even if a distributor were clearing 70% of their inventory in a given month, the “financial freedom”
offered by many MLMs simply cannot be achieved through direct sales alone, says Rusin.

“When you analyze the compensation plans of MLMs, the real money is made through recruitment,” she
says.

When MLMs Fail

A pyramid scheme fails when its recruitment efforts fail since the model requires infinite recruitment to
sustain income. MLM companies typically fail when suppliers or distributors revolt against unethical
business practices, as in the recent LuLaRoe scandal, though individual distributors may struggle within a
MLM without it outright collapsing for some time.

In short, vendors have sued LuLaRoe for unpaid invoices, and the company has been embroiled in a
class-action suit from customers who received defective merchandise. The company recently settled a
suit with the state of Washington, which had sued the company for running an illegal pyramid scheme.

Should You Join An MLM?

On the surface, multi-level marketing companies may appear to be a great way for individuals to
become “captains of their own ship” as business owners, creating revenue from products they believe
in.

But the truth is that 99% of people who participate in MLMs lose money, according to the Consumer
Awareness Institute, as they struggle to resell products and recruit members for network marketing
companies that often tiptoe the edges of illegality and hide the true costs of participation from
participants.

What’s more, the tactics used by some MLMs can take a psychological—as well as financial—toll on
distributors.
“Dr. Steve Hassan, a leading cult expert, has addressed how MLMs use manipulation and blame to
ensure any failures to earn large sums of cash through the business model are placed on distributors for
their lack of competence or hard work,” says Rusin.

Rather than turning to an MLM, Rusin, a former distributor for two different MLMs, advises you to think
about why you think an MLM sounds exciting and explore other opportunities to fulfill those values.

Whether it’s money, wanting to quit your day job or work from home or seeking a sense of community,
there are plenty of opportunities that offer those exact experiences without the hefty financial
investment and psychological cost an MLM can have.

“Start your own business by exploring what your strengths are and how you can provide a needed
service to others,” Rusin says. “There are inexpensive ways to get started and you’ll have created a
much more sustainable and ethical avenue of income.”

10 Network Marketing Training Topics

Network Marketing Training Topics EdApp

Network marketing can become your gateway to fortune. But how can you get there without proper
training? We’ve listed down the best network marketing training topics to unlock your road to success.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 1 – Building and Maintaining Trust

In a field such as network marketing, building and maintaining trust are some of the key components to
being successful. Trust is an intangible asset that keeps everyone working towards a common goal and
benefits each party. Without it, you won’t be able to move up the ladder. Not only do you have to build
trust within your network but you also have to develop it with potential clients.

Network Marketing Training Topics - Building Maintaining Trust

When including this topic in your training program, take note of multilevel marketing (mlm tools) you
can use, and key strategies and techniques you can implement in your day-to-day interactions. EdApp’s
Building and Maintaining Trust course lists down some of their best practices that you can follow. For
example, you need to learn how to own up to your own shortcomings when you make a mistake.
Following this practice will allow people to be more open to you and trust you since you’re able to be
accountable for your own actions.

What makes this course stand out among the others is EdApp’s microlearning format. You’ll be able to
easily follow the suggested practices without feeling overwhelmed with info overload. Another thing
that makes microlearning great is you can remember the techniques better compared to taking other
courses.

Sign up for this free training platform to improve your network marketing skills.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 2 – Managing Difficult Conversations

Difficult conversations are part of an everyday network marketer’s life. You encounter this when you’re
having your sales calls, and when you’re trying to recruit a new network marketer, among others. But,
are you fully equipped to deal with these difficult conversations? If not, then this is another network
marketing training topic to add to your list.

Network Marketing Training Topics - Managing Difficult Conversations

Learning about how to manage difficult conversations can help you navigate through them with ease
and offer solutions that benefit you and the other party. You’ll learn more about active listening,
speaking empathically, and problem-solving. If you’re looking for a training course, EdApp has a
wonderful course called Managing Difficult Conversations. In this course, EdApp talks about the
importance of taking on difficult conversations instead of avoiding them and common mistakes you may
be making. It also provides some tips and tricks for you to come out on top of difficult conversations.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 3 – Effective Communication

Communication is key in everything, but most especially, in network marketing. As a network marketer,
you’re expected to present – almost on a daily – to new hires, co-workers, clients, and higher-ups. If you
don’t know how to effectively get your message across, you can end up losing a ton of potential deals or
amazing new talent. That’s why adding this network marketing training topic is crucial for your training
needs.

Network Marketing Training Topics - Effective Communication

EdApp’s free and customizable course on effective communication can help you get started on your
training. The course includes lessons on the different scenarios you encounter in a workday and how to
communicate effectively in each of them. It talks about how to speak publicly and effectively and how to
connect during remote meetings.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 4 – Competitive Analysis

Knowing your competition can help you get ahead in network marketing. This means conducting a
regular competitor analysis to identify how your products are different from the rest and what makes
them special. Competitor analysis can also give you ideas for how to upsell and provide better value to
your clients when they purchase your product. This is why adding competitive analysis as a network
marketing training topic will help you sell your products like hotcakes.
Network Marketing Training Topics - Competitive Analysis
If you’re looking for where to start on this network marketing training topic, you can use EdApp’s
Competitive Landscapes as your jumping point. This EdApp course discusses detailed strategies for how
to counter your competitors and rise above the rest of the market. What makes this course particularly
interesting is it has gamified quizzes built in. These interactive quizzes can help you retain information
better and make training a lot more fun and a lot less boring.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 5 – Closing a Deal

Closing deals is both a craft that you need to perfect and a science you have to learn. To be a successful
network marketer, you need to be able to understand the other person’s objectives, deliver a
compelling offer, and address any objections. “The finest negotiations are when both sides feel just a
little discomfort and awkwardness,” says Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World. This means that each
party will most likely have to make some concessions in order to make the deal work for everyone.
When closing deals, you need to be able to identify the best moments to ask and use closing techniques.
That’s why adding this network marketing training topic is important for your development in the
industry.

Network Marketing Training Topics - Closing a deal

A closing deal course you might want to check out is EdApp’s Closing a Deal. This free mobile learning
course includes modern strategies for closing and techniques for developing stakeholder relationships.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 6 – The Language of Sales

The language of sales is an ever-developing and ever-evolving field. The techniques and strategies you
might’ve learned back in 2020 might already be outdated. Even network marketing ideas and tricks that
you learned a month ago might already be ancient. That’s why if there’s one thing you need in your
training program, it’s learning the language of sales.

Network Marketing Training Topics - Language Sales

This network marketing training topic will help you develop convincing arguments, handle difficult sales
situations, and develop better relationships with clients. EdApp has a wonderful course that discusses all
of these topics called, The Language of Sales. You can add this course to your training program or share
them with your network marketing team, at no cost at all.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 7 – Time Management

Network Marketing Training Topics - Time Management
Understanding how to manage your work time can help you minimize stress, enhance productivity, and
perform more successfully. Investing in time management training will help you master the
fundamentals of time management and increase your capacity to get more done each day. With proper
time management, you’ll be able to close sales faster than without it. This will bring you more revenue
and more profit as a result. That’s why this network marketing training topic is a must-have for your L&D
program. Check out EdApp’s Sales Professionals’ Guide to Time Management to get started on your
training.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 8 – Market Research

Network Marketing Training Topics - Market Research
You can’t sell a product without knowing your market first. Conducting your own market research
regularly is critical for staying updated with industry developments and retaining a competitive
advantage. Whether you’re starting as a newly hired network marketer or trying to climb up the ladder,
you can’t go far in life without market research training. This network marketing training topic helps you
better understand your target market, increase sales, and drive business growth. You can check out
EdApp’s Knowing Your Market course to get started on market research training.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 9 – Solution Selling

Network Marketing Training Topics - Solution selling
Solution Selling is a sales approach where instead of focusing on product features, you collaborate with
a client to spot and define their needs before offering your product. That way, you’ll be able to sell your
product as a customized solution to their needs instead of a one-size-fits-all solution. By adding this as a
network marketing training topic, you’ll be able to understand how your product can solve people’s
problems and create more revenue as a result. If you’re looking for a beginner-friendly course, EdApp’s
Solution Selling Strategy course is the best place to start.

Network Marketing Training Topic # 10 – Upselling

Network Marketing Training Topics - Upselling
Upselling is a sales technique in which you convince a client to buy a better and more costly option for
the product you’re initially promoting to them. Instead of only selling 1 product, you’re also presenting
clients with more options that can suit their goals and objectives far more successfully than if they stick
with their first buy. Giving clients more appealing options enhances their experience with you. They’ll be
more willing to place more faith in you the next time, since your product is more customized to their
needs. As a result, you’re able to cultivate better relationships with them, make more appealing offers,
and gain more profit. That’s why upselling is one network marketing training topic you shouldn’t miss
out on.

Check out this EdApp course on Upselling to activate better selling techniques.

How to Grow your Network Marketing Business WITHOUT Social Media [Success without Facebook!]
Many think social media is a necessary evil that must be tolerated in order to grow a network marketing
business online...

But the truth is social media can be ditched altogether, and you can still grow a massively successful
business.

In fact, you might actually grow FASTER without social media.

Can You Have A Successful Business Without Social Media?
You can absolutely grow a successful network marketing business without social media.

This is exactly how I've built my network marketing businesses where I've been able to build a team that
has enrolled over 10,000 members.

There are plenty of others having success without social media, so don't think you have to be posting
endlessly on these platforms to grow your business.

Why People Say You Have To Use Social Media When You Don't
So if you don't need social media, why do so many trainers say that you need to be on all of these
different platforms to have success?

Well, this is because they think social media is where the people are, so that's where you need to be
too.

However, social media isn't the ONLY place where people congregate online. There are other "markets"
that you can tap into, and I'll share with you what these are in a second...

But first, did you know that trying to grow on social media can actually harm your business?

Why Social Media Can Harm Your Business

There are two main strategies that other network marketing trainers teach when it comes to building
your business on social media.

1. Prospecting
The prospecting strategy involves messaging strangers on social media and asking them something along
the lines of...

Would you be open to making a little extra money if it didn't interfere with what you were currently
doing?
The problem with prospecting is that it drives people crazy and they hate receiving messages from
strangers like this. It's partially what gives network marketing a bad name.

Additionally, social media platforms have been cracking down on people who send messages like this for
a while now, and are showing no signs of stopping.

This means messaging people like this can get your account locked or even shut down. Not a good thing.

Products to Their Online Followers!

2. Attraction Marketing
The other option is "attraction marketing" where you post curiosity posts, videos, or other content with
the hopes of attracting your ideal customers/team members to you.

For example, if you have a health and wellness product, you might share health tips and attract people
who are interested in learning about getting healthy.

By doing this, you build up an audience of people who are also likely to be interested in your network
marketing company's products.

I actually have nothing against attraction marketing as a strategy, and use it myself...

The problem arises when you try to apply attraction marketing on social media.

This is because social media platforms are now "pay-to-play" which means no one will see your posts
(and therefore no one will be attracted to you) unless you dump money into ads.

Or put another way, you make money for these social media platforms by creating valuable content for
them, and then THEY charge YOU in order for you to reach your own followers.

Not only that, but the content you post on these platforms are transitory, and is only relevant for a day
at best before it's lost forever, buried in the abyss at the bottom of the feed.

However, if you are adding your content to search engines instead of social media platforms, your
content can live for years and drive you traffic, leads, and sales for years down the road.

You put in work ONCE that pays you off indefinitely.

How To Build A Successful MLM Without Social Media

Okay, so if you aren't going to use social media, how are you going to grow your network marketing
business?

Well, there are really three simple steps you need to follow that will allow you to grow your business
fast, and without the headache of social media or bugging friends and family.

You need to get traffic (eyeballs on your product)

You need to turn that traffic into "leads" (get the email addresses of people so you can continually
follow-up with them)
You need to a proven and automatic system for making offers to your leads so they turn into customers
and team members
1. Create A Traffic Generation System
First you need a way system that is constantly exposing new people to your product or opportunity.

Social media is supposed to do this, since (in theory) you post something on social media and then new
people find it and then follow you.
The only problem is new people aren't finding your content on social media. Or if you are getting new
people find you, the stream of new people coming into your network is merely a trickle, or you're
spending a lot of money on ads to get them.

This isn't ideal.

What if I told you there was a way to get thousands of people to learn about you and your product in
just a week...

And not only that, but learn about you from someone they know, like, and trust?

This is entirely possible, and it's the method I used to build a team that has enrolled over 10,000
members.

I call this strategy "Stealth Marketing" or some may call it "influencer marketing".

This is the strategy of having an influencer recommend your product for you to their audience of loyal
fans.

I call this strategy "stealth marketing" because often times I'm able to generate tons of leads and sales
without anyone even knowing what I am doing, let alone that I'm in a network marketing company.

The key is to find the right influencer who already has a following of people who are likely to love your
products as well...

And then you send them a free sample of your product to review on their main platforms for their
audience to see.

This might sound difficult or complex, but it's actually pretty simple to pull-off if done the right way. You
don't have to have a big audience yourself to collaborate with influencers the right way.

In fact, you can learn how to do this by downloading my free stealth marketing quickstart guide below:

I WANT THE GUIDE!

I've been getting influencers like bloggers and YouTubers to recommend my products for me to their
audiences since I started in network marketing back in 2010, even when I didn't have any network or
followers to speak of.
This guide will show you how to do the same.

2. Create A Lead Generation System

But just getting people to hear about you and your products isn't enough. You need to get them on your
email list so that you can follow-up with them, build a relationship with them, and convert your leads
into customers...

And even team members.

The good news is you can quickly generate hundreds of high quality leads at a time by working with
these influencers in a specific way.

This specific tactic involves having your influencer run a giveaway in addition to their review.

With this giveaway, their audience can give you their email addresses in exchange for a chance to win
the same sample that you sent to the influencer.

This way, you can get hundreds of new leads at a time from people who are actually interested in your
product.

3. Create An Automatic Sales Generation System

Once you have all of these leads on your email list, you can set up an automated email sequence that
will convert your leads into buyers.

This way, you can start bringing in passive sales weeks, months, or even years down the road from the
people who joined your email list from one review and giveaway with an influencer.

The more influencers you collaborate with, the more leads you'll generate, and the more sales you'll get,
and you can start to generate a snowball effect of sales flowing in.

The best part is you don't have to indefinitely reach to influencers. Once you've found the few that you
really like and who really generate you amazing results, you can just continue to run reviews and
giveaways (or get shout-outs) with this network of influencers whom you've established relationships
with.

Not only that, but with all of the leads you're generating, you can even start to become an influencer
yourself.

And when that happens, you can start to generate traffic, leads, and sales all on your own from your
own influence.

Now doesn't this sound better than posting endlessly on social media and seeing very little (if any)
results?
Ready to Ditch Social Media for good?
Now you might be thinking...

Where do I find these influencers? And why would any of them ever want to work with me when I don't
have many followers myself?

The good news is that there hundreds and thousands of these influencers all over the internet, many of
whom would LOVE to work with you for a small fee, or even for FREE!

Just receiving a free product to review means a ton to these influencers, as giveaways help THEIR
audience grow as well.

Many of the best influencers to work with aren't the ones with a GIANT following.

"Micro-influencers" are often the best ones to work with because:

They are more likely to say "yes!" to working with you

They are more likely to be very enthusiastic with their review (leading to more sales and leads)
They likely have a more loyal audience (ready to take action on their recommendations)

social media.

How to Fast Track Your Network Marketing Business Success
Reading time: 5 minute(s)

One of the biggest things most people want to know about any network marketing business is how they
can fast track their way to success.

There is no magic button that will suddenly turn your business into an overnight success. There’s also no
hidden secret that only a few top members know about.
The truth is that there are lots of things you can do to build up your business quickly so that it becomes
profitable in a faster time frame. The whole key is to set up your business for success right from the
start.

If you set things up correctly, you should find that you don’t have to work any longer than about 10 to
15 hours a week. This means you’ll need to be focused and goal-oriented in the beginning, but you’ll
soon find that growing this type of business really isn’t too difficult – as long as you put in the initial
effort to get it up to this point.

Here is the plan for growing your business up to a 6-figure income in 3 to 5 years working just 10 to 15
hours per week. It’s actually easier than most people think.

Step 1: Use Your Own Products

The very first thing you should do is to become your business’s own best customer. Actually take the
time to sample and use your own products. Work out what you really love about them and what you
aren’t so thrilled about. In order to recommend those things to other people, you really have to know
what those products are capable of doing for you.

Step 2: Stop Selling and Recommend

If you know your products can provide a solution to a situation you hear someone talking about, would
you be proud to offer that person some assistance? You’re not selling here. You’re offering a valid
solution that may help that person in some way. The most successful network marketers understand
that recommending products to people who can benefit from them is the best way to sell lots of
products consistently.

Step 3: Treat It Like a Real Business

Set weekly, monthly and annual goals. Get with your team leader to make sure you are using the start
up guide to its full potential, so you can teach others on your team to do the same.

Step 4: Find a Coach to Mentor You

Trying to build up your business to a 6 for 7-figure income on your own is futile. It’s also silly, especially
when you have a network of people right there willing to support you. Ask for their advice. Pick their
brains. Listen to their stories and learn from their past failures.

When you have a coach, you have a way to help keep you motivated and help you to stay on track when
things don’t seem to be moving as quickly as you might want. Your coach will help you with time
management skills. This can be a great way to ensure that the effort you put into your business is getting
great returns and that you’re not wasting time on pointless distraction.

Your coach is also ideal for making sure you’re accountable for your actions and your choices while your
business is still growing. This can be invaluable for many people who don’t know what they should be
focusing on next.

“If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.” – Robert Kiyosaki
Step 5: Invite People to Join Your Team
This is the part many people dread. They fear being a nuisance and they worry about offending people if
they invite them to sign up to their business opportunity. So they do nothing at all and just worry about
selling their products directly to more customers. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this, if that’s
how you want to run your business.

However, the real key to fast tracking your business is to find people who are keenly interested in
making extra money and inviting them to become members of your team. Those team members are the
key to growing your business up to the 6-figure income point, so don’t be afraid to invite people to join.
You’ll be surprised how many people are dreaming of owning their own business, just like yours.

Some of them will be naturally reluctant, so respect their decision and move on. Others will be
absolutely thrilled at the opportunity and could become very profitable team members – but you have
to invite them before any of that can happen.

Step 6: Mentor Your Team

Even if you’re still learning the ropes of the business and you’re still firmly tucked under your mentor’s
wing, always remember that you already know more than your new recruits do. Use the knowledge
you’ve already learned and pass it onto them. Help them to find their focus and their motivation. Show
them how to recommend products for more sales and to get the best results.

Ask them if they’re doing things that might be of further assistance to other people in your team as well
and encourage them to share. It’s important that as your own knowledge grows, you pass on that
information to the people in your team as well. After all, as their own businesses start growing, your
own business – and your profits – will automatically increase as a result.

Step 7: Create Residual Income

When you work in a traditional job, you’re paid for the time you spend working in that job. When you
stop working, you also stop getting paid. The same is true with single-tier direct selling. If you stop
selling products, you stop making profits.

However, if you’re serious about creating a 6-figure income you really need to start focusing on creating
a residual income in your business. The ability to create a residual income that keeps rolling in even
when you stop working is the true beauty of network marketing.

You see, as you invite new people to join your team, the company should start paying you a percentage
of the sales those people generate. Not only are you making profits by selling products to your own
customers to start off with, but you can enhance your income by earning a percentage of the sales your
team makes too.

This is one of the reasons why it’s so important to spend time fostering and mentoring and teaching
your team members to build their business. As they start making more sales, your income automatically
increases.
Now, if you can encourage your team members to invite people to join their businesses in return, you
should find that your company also pays an additional percentage for that additional level. Work with
your team and encourage them to teach and mentor their own new recruits, just the same way your
mentor did with you and the same way you did with them. This is the ultimate benefit of duplication
and why network marketing works.

You want all of those distributors beneath you to succeed in their own business ventures, so offer your
own support to them if they want it as well. The more support they have available, the more likely it is
that they’ll stay focused and reach the level of success they want.

If you can do this, you should find that your income grows very quickly every single month. You’ll be
earning money based on the efforts from people in your team, which allows you to make a choice
whether you want to keep selling products directly or whether you want to focus harder on building up
your team’s businesses even further.

“If you are a person with big dreams and would love to support others in achieving their big dreams,
then the network marketing business is definitely a business for you. You can start your business part-
time at first and then as your business grows, you can help other people start their part-time business.
This is a value worth having – a business and people who help others make their dreams come true.”–
Robert Kiyosaki
