After having spent quite a number of years in the MLM and Network Marketing industry, I've come to realize there are a lot of people who are being mislead into believing they will begin making a lot of money within a short period of time.
While I do not necessarily believe people are always being mislead intentionally, I do believe it is the responsibility of each of us to really investigate the company prior to joining. Ultimately, we are the ones who are signing on the dotted line.
Most honest companies will tell you to expect 3-5 years to see any significant income with your consistent effort. Regardless of what anyone tells you, success does not happen overnight. While it may appear there are some real 'movers and shakers' in your particular business, you may be surprised if you take a closer look. Some companies allow you to purchase your position, giving the appearance of instant success. Many of the the heavy hitters have had years of experience and have brought over their downlines from other companies they were previously involved with, giving them leverage when it comes to advancements and promotions.
I want to give you five specific things you should look at prior to joining any company. This will assist you in determining the structure of the company and just how solid the foundation is.
Examine the Integrity of the Company- This is by far the most important part of joining any business opportunity. Most people don't take the time to read a contractual agreement. The companies realize this and perhaps that is why the really nasty parts of the policies will be found in the middle to the latter part of the agreement. When you are reading through your contract, take your time and have someone assist you if necessary.
Timing in the Industry and the Company - Be sure to check and see if the company has consistent growth. The company should be at least 2 - 4 years old.
Great Products Priced Right - Simply stated, does the product line have a mass of people that have a need for the product you are trying to market?
Compensation Plan - When asked how much network marketers would like to make on a monthly basis, the typical response is $10,000.00. What is your goal? Find out in advance exactly how many people you are going to need in your downline to create a residual income of the amount of money you desire. Does this sound reasonable to you? If so, you can move forward. Keep in mind, the average number of people recruited by any one person is 2.7 people. Take that to the bank!
The System - It's really important that there is a system in place that can be duplicated. If there is no system, your business will not grow. The goal is to bring highly targeted people together and you will need a system to do that effectively.
While the MLM and Network Marketing industry is certainly an amazing vehicle to create wealth from the comfort of your own home, use caution. Do your homework. Don't just jump in blindly without doing the research. It's so important to find a company that you can be proud of, knowing that you can introduce others to it and nobody will get hurt or be mislead.
