The Network Marketing Success Ezine

How successful are multilevel marketing businesses? Let's just pump out some numbers here, shall we? Avon, probably the most well-known MLM company in the world, tops $6 billion a year. Amway makes about $4 billion, Herbalife about $1.5 billion and Mary Kay $1.2 billion. That's how well multilevel marketing businesses are doing these days, thanks to the hard work, solid product and service lines and tireless recruitment practices of its members.

What is a multilevel marketing business?

A multilevel marketing business, also known as an MLM is essentially a networking business. Unlike traditional forms of businesses, MLM is made up of representatives, distributors or members who are allowed to recruit other distributors and members to form a downline.

Depending on the business model being followed by the MLM program, members earn by collecting commissions from the sales generated by their downlines and commissions obtained from their own sales. Sometimes, recruiters earn a percentage from the membership fees paid by their downlines. However, in legitimate MLM businesses, this is not the only means with which members earn. Otherwise, the business will be treated as a pyramid scheme.

Are multilevel marketing businesses legal?

Yes. The manner with which an MLM business creates its sales force and pays its members is perfectly legitimate. Problems only arise when unscrupulous individuals begin using the concept of MLM for their own dubious designs, either to promote a business that doesn't exist or a product that is low quality at best. Only when there is a legal backbone to the program and there are real, actual products and/or services being sold to consumers can an MLM be considered legal.

If we think of a traditional business, in order for it to function properly, it requires huge investments to start it, and continuous payments in order to make it grow and maintain it. It is also necessary for products to go through middle men such as exporters, retailers, etc. The problem with this is all those middle men make the cost of the final product much higher. Each one of them receive their share of the profits and it makes the commercial margins extremely low, with much investment of time and money in order to make the business grow.

Network Marketing is a form in which the maker introduces it's product under "Business Opportunity". This does not mean selling door to door. It is simply a very intelligent way for the consumer to take advantage of its benefits and make money with them as well.

There are many myths in the Network Marketing (MLM) industry, but the reality is that it is the fastest growing industry world wide.

According to statistics, sales through MLM today surpass the $80,000,000 annually and more than twenty five million people are working in some sort of MLM business. Today there are two thousand companies world wide using this system in order to distribute their products.

In the future, when someone talks about Network Marketing, MLM or Multilevel Marketing, after reading this report, you will know exactly what they are talking about. I don't think it necessary to wonder if the system works or not since the reality and statistics are strong enough to take away any doubt. It's impossible to think twenty five million people in the world are wrong, don't you think?

Did you know that some of the most successful Companies, were built by people just like you, who went on to earn millions and millions of dollars?

And now I will give you the secret.

Companies like Avon, Noni, and TupperWare, at one time, were unheard of, until they were introduced to the World through Network Marketing.

Network Marketing is here to stay and is becoming a MAJOR FORCE of economic growth around the World.

- World Famous Business Tycoon Warren Buffet's largest acquisition a few years ago was Pampered Chef, a Network Marketing Company.

- Warren Buffet, the seer of Omaha and famed billionaire stock market expert, turned heads on Wall Street in 2002 when he bought a network marketing company. Today, he no longer owns one… he owns three.(2005) (And has been quoted as saying, It's the best investment I've ever made.) (Oh, and lets not forget. Warren Buffet bought almost a dozen or so Network Marketing companies last year alone 2006)

- The World's 2 largest cosmetic companies, Avon and Mary Kay, are both network marketing companies:

- 1 out of every 6 people in Japan participate in Network Marketing and the number of active distributors in the US alone has doubled, just within the past 7 years!

So what does Warren Buffet know that most do not?

First of all, at $125,000+ per share of stock in his company, he knows that the average person just cannot afford this. However, just about anyone can afford to start their own business in Network Marketing.

I mean, it's not much more than the cost of a dinner and a movie for two and a night on the town. Perhaps this is why one of Warren Buffet's largest acquisitions of the last few years was a Billion Dollar Network Marketing Company.
