I am a professional Network Marketer and I am very proud of what I do. The principles of Network Marketing go back many thousands of years because people have always enjoyed socializing and exciting ideas. If a person found something that was beneficial even while hunting and farming or any way to accomplish tasks in an easier manner, it has always been human nature to share those ideas with others. As times progressed and we reached the industrial revolution people have always shared good ideas and products with others. In today's times, starting in the 1950's, network marketing has been a great way to grow a company. Quite simply this is accomplished by telling someone about a good product or service and then those people will naturally share those products or services with others, and on and on. This has occurred quite naturally for thousands of years but is now used as an effective business model. This can be one of the most effective ways of growing a company.
What I like best about this concept is that anyone can use the concept of leveraging to grow a business and be compensated accordingly. Let me give you an example: If you found five people that market your product or service and they each found five others and this process kept repeating, when it reached five levels down, 15625 people would be using or consuming your products.
Especially when this is applied to a consumable product that is used over and over again, this would create a huge business and great income for the person that started the growth.
The great thing about this approach is that everyone in the business would have the same probability for growth and success. Now in a real world model most people will have to find more than five who can perpetuate the growth which is why I do not look at this concept as a get rich quick idea. However if there is a strong belief in the value of the product and a strong support system for motivation and training, this can be a very profitable business model.
Today, with the use of the internet and other modern communication tools, this can do easier than yesteryear. This is because we can simply reach out to people across the world today right from our own home office. Just twenty years ago, long distance calling was very expensive and today with services like Skype, we can reach across the world for free and even see the person we are talking to. With the internet today, we can create wonderful presentations of our products or opportunities and enable thousands of people across the world to be educated as to the advantages of our products.
Of course internet marketing is a great skill to possess today and many modern companies provide us with all the tools and training that we need in order to achieve success.
In summary I would say that Network Marketing today provides one of the best ways for the average person to achieve success, simply because of the power of leveraging and the important thing is to find a product or service that you really believe is a good value, then align with a good company and then roll your sleeves up to get the message out. You may be pleasantly surprised with the results and can really build a residual income for yourself.
