Six Important Points To Consider Before Joining Any Network Marketing Opportunity

Network marketing is serious business and serious money is made by those individuals that treat their network marketing opportunity as a real business!  So, with that being said, before diving into the first network marketing opportunity that presents itself to you, make sure you ask yourself these sex important questions:

1) How Much Is It Going to Cost and How Much Will I Invest?

 Your network marketing opportunity can cost you anywhere from one dollar to a few thousand dollars. Sometimes I think they should cost more because people would put more value on their network marketing opportunity. The great thing about network marketing, however, is you only need a little money to get going which allows anyone to start their own business and make money.

 Comparatively speaking, the first franchise I opened cost me $140,000 to open the doors. I am glad I do not own it anymore.  My current network marketing opportunity cost me $1,500, one-hundredth of the franchise cost. At the end of the day, you always need some money to start a business, but the reality is, it does not make any sense not to invest and try out a network marketing opportunity.
 
2) How Am I Going To Get Paid?

 When looking at the network marketing opportunity you are interested in, make sure you understand the compensation plan.  You need to understand when and what you get paid for and then work the plan to optimize your income. Your sponsor should have the answers to your most pressing questions about how your network marketing opportunity pays the distributors.

 Set goals but remember, it will take time to achieve the big numbers.  Do not even ask what your sponsor makes because it has absolutely nothing to do with what you will make. The only question is, how much could I be making ten years from now? The only path to success is to stick with your network marketing opportunity and DO NOT give up.
 
3) Will You Learn From the Training?

 I love a group of excited networker marketers, but does the training get your ready to go to work. If there are meeting in your town, you should be there. You will learn a lot about building your business from other networkers. Can your network marketing opportunity give you a step by step process that is easy to understand and duplicate?  The things the count are the training, your personal growth, and most of all turning you into a leader so you can lead others and show them the way.

4) Is The Product Something You Would Be Comfortable Promoting?

When your enthusiasm shows for your network marketing opportunity and your products, your passion is contagious. BUT, beyond passion, does the product do what it says it will? Sure, testimonials are wonderful, but are the products claims backed by scientific evidence as well? Give some thought to how you might market it and listen to what your sponsor and other networkers do.

5) How Many Years Has The Company Been Around?

 This is HUGE! The first network marketing opportunity I joined went out of business just as my pay peaked. It took a long time before a sought another network marketing opportunity because of that one huge mistake.  I did not check out the company, I just jumped in! My current opportunity has been in business over 20 years. You need a solid company. A stable publicly traded company that must report to shareholders is a great foundation for the hard work you will put into your business.

 In the same way I interview those I want to sponsor, you should interview your sponsor and the company being represented. You want your network marketing opportunity to be alive and prospering well into the future so you can keep getting your residual paychecks for decades to come.
 
6) Can You Sponsor Lead And Teach You?

 Is your sponsor someone who will help you become the leader you need to be? You want the person that introduced you to your network marketing opportunity to be someone you both respect as a person and admire as a leader. This person is really your business partner and you will initially spend a lot of time with them learning how to lead and duplicate the process.
 
In conclusion, if you treat your network marketing opportunity like it is serious business, choose a great leader to emulate, pick a reputable company with a great compensation plan, and are willing to put in the time and effort to grow, you will succeed.  Do not quit. Those not open to your network marketing opportunity will try to shoot you down and steal your dreams. Treat your network marketing opportunity like the serious business it is, enjoy yourself, sustain your postive attitude, and the success will come.
