3 Questions That Must Be Answered...

For Network Marketers just starting out or those just needing to start over, the best place to begin is always at the beginning.  This information while simple and basic is essential for success.

The 3 Critical Questions For Success in MLM/Network Marketing are:

-Network Marketing, what is it really?

-Is becoming a Network Marketer a good idea?

-How do I know if an opportunity is good?  And how do I act on that?

So, what is network marketing?  At first glance, an easy answer, but in reality not so much.

The real world definition of Network Marketing is:  People of like minds come together and market a product or service to the public.  A simple way to put a complicated thing.  When you really look at MLM closely it means so much more.  Network Marketing has become recession proof.  Stock market trends and corporate bailouts do not apply to us.  Simply put it is the only efficient way to do business.  This leads us nicely to the next question.

Is becoming a network marketer a good idea?  To answer that question you must first look into the past.  Studies show that in times of economic troubles the industry experiences record growth.  We just happen today to be in the worse recession since the great depression, so you can expect the industry to continue to grow.  There is no time like now to be involved in MLM.  Include the tax benefits inherent in home based business and you can say, yes it is a very good idea!  Lets move on to the next question.

The third question is probably the most critical.  What makes a network marketing company good?  Here is a list of criteria that I have found to be the most important.

-How long has the company been in operation?  Around 4 years is the best age to get involved.

-Is the market already flooded with this companies product?  The more people already know about this product the less opportunity you have to make an impact.

-Are they viewed favorably by the FTC and BBB. Look on their websites to find out.

-Are they in any litigation? Self explanatory.

-Company must be easily marketed to the public.

-Is the comp plan easy to understand and more importantly is it easy to explain?  The simpler the better.  I think binary is the best.

So now you have gotten the most important questions answered and you want to move forward.  What is next?  The easiest and fastest way to succeed is to plug into a marketing system.  You must learn to utilize internet marketing.
