Network Marketing or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)

Don’t panic! Network marketing (or multi-level marketing – MLM) is not a scam and it is not an illegal pyramid scheme. There are plenty of very reputable network marketing companies in this world. Think about Avon, Mary Kay, and Amway. These are wonderful examples of network marketing organizations. In fact, network marketing is the only industry where an average person has the great potential to become wealthy. There are a lot of successful network marketers that started with no college education, no large initial investment, and no powerful connections and they have built fortunes in Network Marketing. Some of the leaders in the network marketing industry are examples of this possible success. Take multi-millionaires Randy Gage and Randy Schroeder for example – humble beginnings to enormous success and wealth through network marketing. I am not sure how MLM and network marketing got a bad reputation. There are some unethical practices in the industry but that can be said of any business. And people seem to be real concerned about a pyramid scheme - but there is NO difference in a network marketing team member structure and that of any other organization! BUT in network marketing, everyone knows that to be successful you have to help your team be successful! You definitely won't find that philosophy in most organizations and certainly not in corporate America!

The network marketing/direct selling industry is global. There are approximately 53 million people involved in network marketing and they are projected to produce approximately $30 billion in U.S. revenue. And from a global perspective, that revenue is projected to be more then $100 billion! And it isn't just successful networkers that are getting in on the business. Warren Buffet, the second richest man in the world according to Forbes Magazine, knows the value of the direct selling industry. Mr. Buffet and companies like Virgin, Sara Lee, and Time Warner have invested in the direct selling industry buy buying network marketing companies. Mr. Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway company owns three direct sales companies. And Mr. Buffet said, "dollar for dollar, it's the best investment I've ever made." Fortune magazine called the industry, "the best kept secret in the business world." And here is additional support for the industry: Robert Kiyosaki author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series states that “Network marketing gives people the opportunity, with very low risk and very low financial commitment, to build their own income-generating asset and acquire great wealth."

In his book, “The Next Millionaires” Paul Zane Pilzer, a world-renowned economist, multimillionaire software entrepreneur, adjunct professor, and author of seven best-selling books and dozens of scholarly publications. "The Next Millionaires" explains in detail why the 21st century will be known as the age of the entrepreneur, and how you can stake your claim to being one of these next 10 million millionaires--especially if you are in direct selling, technology, home-based business, product distribution, or an emerging trillion-dollar industry like wellness. It explains how old models of opportunity in physical distribution have given way to new opportunities in intellectual distribution, defined as teaching people about products or services that they don't even know exist. And, drawing on Pilzer's 33 years of experience as an entrepreneur and employer, he explains how to find your ticket to becoming one of The Next Millionaires. What a great time to be involved in network marketing!

David Bach is the author of the bestselling book “Automatic Millionaire”. In his latest book “Start Late, Finish Rich”, David Bach lists 13 reasons you should be in the Network marketing business. Here they are:

#1 The moment you join a direct selling company you’re in business
