Network Marketing Business Model Stands the Test of Time and is Now More Beneficial Than Ever
Filed Under Home Business | 1 Comment
Network Marketing is a business model that incorporates the concept of buying high quality products from people that you know, like, and trust. Products are shipped from the manufacturer to the customer, and the only middle part of that is a distributor representing the network marketing company. There are no wholesalers, or advertising agencies, or any other entity in between. The concept of network marketing is for the distributor to connect with the customer in order to personally explain the value of the brand, the difference in quality of the products, and why buying from this brand will produce better results for the customer.
Highly regarded businessmen Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki believe in network marketing, especially for home-based and small business owners, and teamed up to write a book about it, “Why We Want You To Be Rich.” That being said, there are companies that have tarnished the reputation of network marketing by operating in underhanded or devious ways. Most of these companies do not last long, and many times there was not a reputable product to sustain the company. Unless there is a solid foundation of products that people want to buy, and even refer to others because of the benefits they receive, a network marketing company can not survive, much less flourish.
Network marketing was introduced to the world a very long time ago. I know that it is at least 53 years ago when my primary business launched under this business structure. People who are part of our brand believe that they pioneered the business model and are proud of it. Network marketers are business owners. It is their job to find customers and introduce them to products that are superior to those found in stores. If any of those customers want to have a home-based business of their own, it is the network marketer’s job to help them get started and provide support and leadership. Even though the network marketer takes on many hats in their business, they are not alone. Most parent companies provide training, support materials, all kinds of tools and services including home office staff. Upline business leaders help everyone in their group, and in general an unlimited amount of assistance is available.
The opportunity to earn income is unlimited in network marketing. A business owner can work under the premise that the sky is the limit in regard to how many people they introduce to their products, their business, the benefits and solutions that their products provide. They enjoy support while they are in charge of their own business. It is the best of both worlds because they are independent and yet they are not alone. Some feel that network marketing is the very best business model in the world today.
The internet has transformed network marketing companies. In the past, distributors would stock products and sell out of their homes or small businesses. Now, customers can order direct online, or by phone, and have products shipped from the company direct to the consumer. This saves a tremendous amount of time, inventory money, and offers the opportunity to use business time to reach more customers or spend more time educating customers on the value of the products. The internet also allows the opportunity to have a global business, connecting with people and business all over the world.
There are as many compensation programs in network marketing as there are companies, almost. It is worth the time and effort to compare income structures because there are vast differences involved. You might find one company that will pay out up to 50% while another company may limit earnings to as little as 10%. Product is as important as income. It is also worth the time and effort to research the company’s products, their value, the potential to find customers interested in buying, the market trends, and length of time the company has been in business. Another factor that interests potential consumers is that high quality products from companies with long-term legacies of success will have a guarantee established because the brand is confident in the performance of the products.
It may seem like there is a lot to consider when making the decision to join a network marketing company. It is more than worth your time invested, especially when you consider that for every successful home business network marketer, there is at least one that became associated with a failed company and may have lost both money and time that they can never get back. 53 years is the longest track record you will find in network marketing. A company that has a 53 year legacy of success, and is growing in distributors and expanding around the world, can offer a fantastic opportunity for a new network marketer. When the company’s products are in five major growth trends for the next ten years, it is not too late to get started. It is the perfect time to join and build the income of your dreams.
I invite you to learn what you can about network marketing. See if you agree with the folks that consider this business model one that anybody can use to earn income and build a significant business. Think about the lives that you can impact with both the products and the ability to refer the business opportunity as well. Consider the time freedom and financial security that you can enjoy when you are in charge of your personal and financial destiny. In 2009, the best network marketing companies have laid the foundation for you to not only get started and grow quickly, but also earn income right away. There is a definite need for immediate income and you can find companies that recognize this and have implemented programs to deliver that money immediately.
What I like best about the network marketing business model and the products that come from these companies is the personal communication involved and how unique and effective the products work. In today’s world, you often feel like a number ‘out there’ and it is hard to connect with a ‘live person’ to get help. And I know that I have purchased products, of all kinds, that simply do not live up to what they should. It is disappointing and you feel robbed of your hard earned money. With network marketing, that is different. There are people that you know, like, and trust behind the products and the business opportunity. They will answer your questions, and refer you to what can provide the solutions and results you seek. I prefer to use products from network marketing companies, whether that be nutrition, personal care products, home care products, computer products, or internet services. And it makes me feel good as a network marketer to offer this kind of value and service.

Mommy blogs combine social networking and home business opportunities
Filed Under Home Business, Social Networking | Leave a Comment
For women who want to incorporate sharing their knowledge of motherhood with earning some extra income for their families with a home business, mommy blogging can be an effective way to integrate business with pleasure.
Life for a mom who’s connected online to any of an abundance of social networking websites like Twitter, Facebook, blogs, etc., is very different than it was for moms of even a couple of years ago. I know that I would have appreciated jumping online any time of the day or night and getting words of wisdom about the latest mommy crisis, or just chatting with another mom who has survived a phase in the life of a two year old.
These women connect over the bond of having children, and they are eager to help each other, and help in return. They become friends, virtual friends, with other moms all over the world. How else can these women connect so easily, and 24 hours per day, if not for the internet and these online social communites.
These mommy blogs link their readers to other blogs, many creating directories or blogrolls of their favorites. They share resources relating to motherhood, kids, families, and even business topics. Some mommy blogs review products for brands who want to publish feedback for easy access. Other home business blogs earn income from advertising or they incorporate their online business in their blog.
If you think about it, just like you do offline, you build relationships of trust with people, friends, who you have something in common. And who better to look to for information when you need a referral for baby or family products than your friends.
Most mommy blogs are high quality websites featuring useful information, entertaining stories, and enlightening tips that are of great benefit to new moms or moms struggling through a particular parenting challenge. The website designs, graphics, personal pictures, and creative content keep readers coming back to visit often and passing the site along which makes these websites very viral in the online world.
If you are a new mom, or a new reader of mommy blogs, interested in home business or social networking, below are some resources to check out. They either list the top blogs, or give reviews of popular mom blogs.

Do you think that having a job is secure? Today, jobs might just be the ultimate risk because with a job you have only one option for income. Is that safe? If you lose your job, you lose all of your income.
Enter home business. You can set up two or three (or more) streams of income. If one slows down because of a bad economy or some other reason, you have others still producing income. Plus you control your financial destiny because nobody puts limits on the amount that you can earn. You are the boss and creator of your future.
Today, a home business makes sense for many reasons. Tax advantages are a huge benefit. Things that you already buy become an immediate tax deduction for your home business, when they never helped at all with your W2 income. The ability to create more income for your family is the reason why most people start a home business, and that can be to help pay the bills, to get the extra car or bigger house or nicer vacation, or any number of reasons.
It is important to know your reason, your ‘why’, for starting a home business. It takes work, and focus, and persistent efforts. If your reason is strong, in front of you at all times, it will be the driving force behind keeping you motivated and achieving ultimate success.
In the present economic environment, it is smart to start small with your home business. Look for ways to cut your existing bills (there are always ways to cut back) that can actually fund your start up costs. You can start a business with next to nothing in terms of cash, and yet have the potential to earn unlimited income. I remember hearing an interesting story in my primary business. This takes place more than 30 years ago when the cost to join our company, as a business builder, was only $18. When a new guy was told the price, simply 18, he wrote out a check for eighteen thousand dollars. That is how he saw the potential for this business. I would say that he has a great eye for success because today he is one of the top producers in a company that is growing, even during a major economic recession.
The key is to put the time and effort in to lay a solid foundation for your business, and use your TIME and SKILLS, not capital, to grow your business. On Earth Day, the CEO of my primary business announced the company’s plans to reach out to 1 Million People in 2009 and offer them home business security, a new economic opportunity. I think it is fascinating how a 53 year old company has the longest track record in our industry, a solid foundation behind a brand new business owner today, and still provides a way for anyone to earn the money they choose for such a small start-up cost. Compared to buying a franchise, not seeing a profit for possibly years, and the headache of managing employees, earning money your very first month sounds exciting!
You can start a home business while you are working at your present job. Your extra time in the evenings or weekends can be focused on building something of your own. You can grow that income until it meets and exceeds your paycheck, with the goal to make it your full time, unlimited income. When you go through a recession like our country is experiencing right now, it is more incentive than ever to have multiple income streams. Many business experts think that a home business should be part of every person’s financial portfolio. There are that many benefits!
I will leave you with another video from the Earth Day Celebration in Pleasanton, CA, near San Francisco, where Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger helped plant the 1 Millionth Tree. I really enjoyed the sincere comments he made about our brand and how it reflects the respect that has been the legacy of our company for more than half a century.
