How to Find the Right Network Marketing Business
Follow these three steps to help you evaluate the right opportunity for you.
1. Take personal inventory
The first step in pursuing a home based business is to ask yourself the right questions.Do I have the right expectations? One great aspect of network marketing is the flexibility. You decide when to work and you choose how many hours to invest. But don’t be fooled. Network marketing is like any other home based business - it takes time. If you’re looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, stop now. They don’t exist. Any business takes time to make money. But with network marketing businesses, your income is proportionate to your investment of time. If you only want side income, you can work 5-6 hours a week. If you want a part-time income, you can work part-time hours - maybe 20 hours. If you want to eventually make a full-time income, be prepared to work your home based business like a full-time job - 40 hours a week.And if you want to blow the roof off your income, work as much as you want!What am I comfortable selling?Are you interested in selling a tangible product, like nutritional supplements? Or would you like to sell a service, such as identity theft protection? Do you want to be hands-on and constantly work with your customers, or do you want to pass that on to the parent company?Am I experienced?
Are you are ready to plunge into business right now, or are you looking for someone to help you get on your feet? Do you feel ready to tackle the challenges of being an entrepreneur, or do you need a solid team to work with you?
2. Do your homework on each network marketing opportunity
Once you have a general idea of what kind of business you want to pursue, start finding network marketing opportunities with residual income that match. There are plenty of resources online and in print to help you. Success From Home, The Network Marketing Magazine, and Home Business Magazine are all publications with plenty of information and advertisements from serious MLM sponsors. Online, find forums to give you insights on the specific home based business you’re evaluating. Also, do offline networking. Go to meetings like the Chamber of Commerce or BNI. Chances are, someone there will be affiliated with a great network marketing business and will be happy to answer your questions.
The point is to make sure you know what each home based business opportunity is really about. While there are scams out there and you need to be wary of those. But the thing you’re really looking for is a business which feels like it’s a fit for you.
3. Create a relationship
The key to your success will be a great team of people helping you in your venture.Even individuals 110% dedicated to their own home based business get frustrated when they don’t have the support they need. The network marketing company you choose should have an awesome team of people dedicated to your success. They should offer to help you in any way you need, and they should be encouraging when you run into the obstacles everyone faces.
In other words, you need to create a relationship with whomever you decide to go with. If you can’t create some kind of connection while you’re evaluating the opportunity, chances are you won’t have one after you launch your business, either.
