At Last: A real alternative to franchises & traditional business

United States of America (Press Release) October 3, 2007 -- We all heard the names MLM, Network marketing, Pyramids Schemes, Referrals Marketing and so on. Let’s look at this in industry in detail. Pyramids schemes are illegal so that eliminates that one. The other names are referring to the same industry. This industry was around for over 50 years and it has gone through some major changes since the Amway days. Because of the ever-changing economy and over years of corporate structure this industry will continue to grow. Danny Bradley former NFL Star and professional network marketer posed a question. After 200 years of corporate structure how many people you know that are financially free? For many of us the answer is none. He then stated that more millionaires came from MLM in the shortest period of time then ant other profession. Everyone that joins an MLM company is not trying to become financially independent. Many are joining to supplement their current income and to help ease the pressure of corporate America. Many people approach this industry with the lottery mentality. They want something for nothing. These people are sadly disappointed when they earn what they put in it. They treat this business and it is a business like a hobby. I always knew that hobbies cost money and they end up losing. Some times it is the company but most of the times it’s not.
There are hundreds of companies out there. Some are really good and some abuse the industry. Do your homework and talk to people you know that has had some success in Network Marketing? Find a company that specializes in something that you are passionate about. Whether it’s telecommunications, ecommerce, health and nutrition, beauty supplies and more. This industry is a great franchise alternative because of the ease of getting started. Many people would love to start their own business and they site four main barriers, time, money, knowledge and risk. With most MLM companies that is not an issue because they have a step-by-step system that can assist you in becoming successful. With a lot of MLM Companies there is a low start up cost or even free to join. The risk is so minimal you really have nothing to lose. The knowledge can be learned over time. You earn as you learn. There are some companies that free to join and the pay out reflects that. There are some companies that require a high start up cost and that is the bases of the pay plan. Do not get frustrated. Find what appeals to you, no hype or gimmicks just the facts when making a decision. It’s not always the newest company or the one that says they pay more then anyone else. People follow people not companies, pay plans or products. Look for leaders who can mentor you to success. Here are a few companies that are out there to choose from.

5Linx, Lightyear Alliance, Fortune High Tech , Team Escape International , ACN Inc, Prepaid Legal, Niken, Cognigen, Mary Kay, Ameiplan and many more.
