From the INTRODUCTION
Here’s how network marketing works: As an independent
representative (also known as a distributor, associate,
consultant, member, or business owner) you form a partnership
with a corporation that provides a product or service
along with administrative and marketing support. With the
corporation taking care of the back end of the business, you
are free to focus on the frontline actions that produce income.
Your income comes from selling products or services, and
from recruiting others to sell products or services. The
higher your total sales, the higher your income.
What makes network marketing so attractive is that it
costs almost nothing to start and very little to run. There is
no up-front capital investment required, apart from a small
outlay for a starter kit, so you can own your own business
without using your own funds or having to borrow capital.
There is no ceiling on what you can earn, and you don’t
have to sacrifice family and friends to join the highest echelon
of achievers.
Most network marketers run their business from home,
and they work it around their everyday life. Some opt to
supplement the household income by working their business
part-time while they, their spouse, or both of them continue
in traditional employment. For others, their network marketing
business is the sole source of household income.
Couples pooling their skills and resources to build a network
marketing business together are becoming more common,
allowing family to take center stage in their lives.
No one way works better than others. The point of network
marketing is to provide freedom and flexibility to fit
your personal ambitions and circumstances. What counts is
that you get to decide what’s best for your life.
