Looking to start a home based business? Don’t overlook the multi-level network marketing industry. Besides figuring out the holy grail of the internet more individuals like you have found long-term financial freedom in the multi-level network marketing industry than any other.Why? Simple, you don’t have to have a fancy college degree to succeed. All you have to do is work hard and know your products and market. Read on my friend and I’ll uncover what you need to do to find the right company and how to succeed.Perhaps the most important thing to consider is the product. Why…? Simple. If you don’t believe in the product then how can you expect your future customers to believe in them! So consider the difference between companies that sell vitamin products that may or may not work or something like scented waxes that is something you probably use every day.Personal belief is very powerful. It shows up as confidence and can be the difference between you landing a sale or a new distributor or just another sad experience being rejected.And speaking of rejection, having confidence helps with the inevitable rejections that come with the multi-level network marketing industry. After all, not everyone you meet will buy your products. Otherwise everyone in the world would have each and every item being sold. Someone must say no to keep variety in the market.The second thing to know is how to do basic marketing. Success and rejection is part of that research. Understanding what types of people are buying or rejecting your product is super powerful. For example, why did your sister like the scented waxes you showed her but did not like the vitamin products (or perhaps she like it the other way around.) If you track what is being purchased or rejected around you, you will have a great advantage over your competitors.The third thing is a traditional concept: Location, Location, Location. Imagine a Burger King sitting in the middle a wheat field in Kansas. It would probably not be the best location to attract customers. For a home based business working in the multi-level network marketing industry it is a combination of being in the right location where there are enough people to introduce your products to and the timing of finding a multi-level network marketing company that is still growing so there is a sufficient supply of people to experience your products for the first time.I won’t hide the fact that all multi-level network marketing companies will make the first few hundred distributors more wealthy than the rest of the group. But that is the same with all industries from cars to burgers. The first to the market gains the benefits of lower competition. So if you really want to make a splash find a company that is really young. But another business rule can be applied here too. The higher the risk, the greater the return. So you may find a company where you can be the first distributor. So you may stand to make MILLIONS… but… if you are the ONLY distributor the company may soon be out of business.It is a balancing act. Do you go after scented waxes or after vitamins? Do you go after a brand new start-up that may fail or do you go after something that is really stable. If you are a hard worker, going after the scented waxes can be just as much of a successful home based business as any other type of opportunity.The last big tip is the support group you get involved with. Here things are a bit backwards in the home based business industry than in a normal business. A normal business interviews a potential employee to see if they are a good cultural match and a hard worker… basically, a good producer. When you are looking for a home based opportunity, YOU are interviewing the company you want to work for. Specifically, you are interviewing the person that will sponsor you into your new adventure. Be aggressive and find out about your potential sponsor. Ask if you can be involved with their team calls BEFORE you start with them so you know they actually do them. Ask to talk to one of their down-line so you can find out how well they will support and train you. Ask.. ask.. ask! Information here is critical.HINT: If a potential sponsor is unwilling to let you participate BEFORE you join or let you talk to their team, they probably are a deadbeat and will not support you AFTER you join. It’s your career… don’t be afraid to walk away and find someone you can work with, have fun with, and can learn from.A home based business based in the multi-level network marketing industry can really work. Give yourself a chance at a great, and potentially financially secure future by remember these few simple things.
