With the economy in the state it is in, people are searching for ways to make more money from home. Most are looking for financial relief, while some are looking for a vehicle to create total financial freedom. And with celebrity endorsers, like Richard Branson and Donald Trump, it is easy to see why there are 175,000 people joining a network marketing business every week.
If you are researching the industry, you may be wondering if it is even worth getting started. In this brief article, I'll go into some pros and cons of joining a network marketing business.
Now, while network marketing can be a lucrative profession, it can also be downright frustrating. The network marketing industry, over the last 50 years, has created more millionaires than any other industry, but there is a staggering 97% failure rate in the industry. That's why it's extremely critical that if you are serious about joining a company, you need to understand what you are getting into before you join.
First, let me tell you that I first got involved in network marketing in 1998. At the time, I was going to college full-time and working at a hospital. As excited as I was, that first year was brutal as I managed to make almost $3,000 (for the whole year!). But since I was spending money for events and tools, I easily spent more than I made. And as if that was not bad enough, the majority of my warm market started avoiding because they were afraid I was going to sell them something or recruit them into some kind of "deal".
There were many times, that people told me it would never work and that I should just give up. With that said, looking back at what occurred a few short years later, I’m glad I didn’t take their advice.
Now, let’s look at a simple comparison of what could have occurred and what has occurred. Before I move forward, it's important to disclose that I soon dropped out of school to pursue my business...
After looking at some statistics, the average income in the US for someone who graduated high school but doesn’t have a college degree is less than $26,000 a year. While I obviously can’t make any income claims or guarantees, after taking some time to learn how to actually build a business, what could have been my annual income turned into my monthly income. More important than the money, is the time I have with my family and the cool places we get to travel to.
So does that automatically mean you should join a company? The truth is you should join a company if you plan on getting trained properly and treating your business like you spent millions for it. Now, I’m not talking about joining for the sake of getting a discount on the product or to get on a company’s autoship because you’re a consumer. That’s all fine and good, but I’m talking about if you want to build a business that will give you financial freedom. And, yes, there may be a period where you are learning and not making as much as you would like. Just keep in mind, that data shows that for anyone who sticks with one company for a minimum of 10 years, the chances of making a 6-figure income is dramatically higher than any other profession in the US.
So the question you need to ask yourself is, are you looking to make a quick buck or are you serious about your long-term success? If you said yes to the latter, then get started and do not look back.
