Advantages of Network Marketing as a Home-Based Business

When surveyed, almost eighty-percent of people indicated that they would
like their own business. Eighty percent! Network Marketing is a booming
industry right now because of this impressive stat. Other reasons Network
Marketing is becoming so popular is because it addresses four of the most
common reasons people don't start their own business:

1) Lack of Time - Most Network Marketing businesses are designed so that
they can be worked full-time, or part-time. Obviously the more you work,
the more successful you will be. However, success means different things to different people. For some it might mean paying for their son's hockey
gear, for others it might mean being mortgage free.

2) Lack of Money - Most Network Marketing businesses can be started with a minimal investment (from $10 to a few hundred) - usually the cost to
purchase a sample kit (at cost) and some "starter" business supplies.

3) Lack of Knowledge about running a business - Network Marketing businesses are designed so that anyone can start and successfully run them - regardless of their business knowledge, or lack of it.

4) Lack of a Business Idea - Why reinvent the wheel? There are literally
hundreds of Network Marketing opportunities out there. Chances are, with a little research you could find one that provides a service, or product you
could really get excited about. Visit the Direct Selling Association (In
Canada: www.dsa.ca, in the US: www.dsa.org), for a list of reputable Network Marketing businesses.

Like many home-based businesses, a career in Network Marketing offers
advantages such as: being your own boss, working flexible hours, working
from your own home, tax deductions (glorious, glorious, tax deductions!),
the opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills, to name just a few.

In addition to those listed above, Network Marketing also offers many other
advantages over "traditional" home-based businesses, a few are:

Training and ongoing support - Network Marketing companies flourish when their reps are able to build successful businesses. Therefore, it is in
their best interest to provide their reps with the best tools, training and
support they possibly can. In addition, you receive support and
encouragement from your upline (recruiter), their upline, and so on, and so
on.

Networking - There is a saying, "in Network Marketing you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself". You are surrounded by a group of positive, like-minded individuals who continuously share ideas and information.

Rewards and recognition - Most Network Marketing companies provide
incentives to their reps for achieving a certain level of sales, recruits,
etc. - exotic vacations, jewelry, and cars are very common.
