What is Network Marketing & Direct Sales?

If you're new to Network Marketing or Direct Sales, or you may be looking for a profitable business opportunity you need to know more about this industry.

You may be very sceptical about Network Marketing or Direct Sales, and believe that it's all a scam, or a pyramid scheme. I can understand why you might be sceptical; it's not unusual to feel that way. But if you have a big dream of being financially independent some day, what would take for you to achieve this in your current plan, have you a plan B?

Now you've probably heard of Warren Buffett, he's one of the most successful investors in history, and he's also one of the most conservative. In 2008 he was ranked by ForbesMagazine as the richest person in the world, with an estimatednet worthof approximately $62 billion. During his career he's invested heavily in many Network Marketing and Direct Sales companies, for a good reason.

The biggest problem for large corporations have throughout the world, including America is the distribution of their goods and services, they need to get their product to the customer and Network Marketing/Direct Sales is a low cost alternative way to do that.

So why do so many large corporations this method of distribution?

The distribution channel for their product to the customer costs them time, money and effort. Depots are needed to store the goods, vehicles and staff are needed to distribute, them, Real Estate needs to be purchased to be able to market their goods, the list is endless, and unfortunately the customer will be paying a higher prices for this service. Network Marketing is a clean and valid distribution channel that allows the money to go to the people not the distribution channel; businesses pay you to get the word out to your network.

We already do Network Marketing every day, we just don't get paid for it, so why not join an opportunity today and start building your future. There has never been a better time to get involved. At the moment there is downsizing in the corporate world, people are looking for an opportunity. The Work from Home trend is also very popular, which is why there is an increase in people looking at Network Marketing or Direct Sales.

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional - Hi Evan, I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing

Why do people hate Network Marketing / MLM? - I've been looking at a number of different opportunities and end up meeting a lot of Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing people. Some of the offers look interesting but everyone I talk to about it says to avoid these guys like the plague - what's the deal? Why do people hate network marketers and MLM people so much? Is it not legit?
Re: MLM Marketing, youtube, and buzzirk mobile. - I have experience with MLM too. My initial reaction to the business was "snake-oil salesman" but once I got to understand the "overall business model" I am now an advocate to it. MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) is also known as Network Marketing. I realized an MLM business is no different than any other business. One needs to focus on both words "Network" and "Marketing" and give both equal respect. Some people focus heavily on the Networking part but forget "Marketing". I've started to use Building on a Budget and Magnetic Sponsoring concepts in my NM business and have found that people don't get involved so much because of the product but more because of what you bring to the table as far as marketing systems and support. I have both products listed in my signature. you don't have to buy it as the link to the free videos itself provides you a good understanding of what is required to position yourself as my above paragraph. If you do plan on purchasing it I can tell you that the measly $40 will open your eyes BUT your upline will not be too happy (atleast in the short term) beacuse the system is not duplicateable. I wrote this post as a polar post to Bulmer's reply as I have exhausted the friends and family networking and realized i never really focused on marketing. My leads now are more qualified and open to hearing about my opportunity than the other way around. my 2 cents if you plan on growing an MLM or Networking Marketing business.
