Network Marketing - The Real Tool

I like the way this author puts Network Marketing into the proper perspective. You are the difference not your company's comp plan. What you bring to the equation is precisely what makes your success unique and cannot be outlined within any 8-step pattern.

"Well I guess I should rephrase the title because you are the one that actually makes you rich and Network Marketing is the vehicle or the tool that assists you in doing that. And man, what a tool it can be too! When you hear of Network Marketing what comes to mind? Do the letters MLM sound familiar? Most people will tag Network Marketing as MLM. Most don’t realize that Direct Sales is another type of business used in Network Marketing. So which is a fit for you?
Now we have all heard of Amway, Quickstar, and all the fruit and vitamin MLM’s out there. Now, I am not in anyway bagging on these products. I have seen many of these products help people in a serious way. So in most of these MLM business models, the products are great, but will you make any real money in these types of business models? In what I have seen with most MLM companies, if you are not one of the people who joined the business opportunity when it was first formed, then you will never make as much money as those who did. Most of the time you are dealing with small commissions and your income is directly dependent on how your downline is performing."
