Network Marketing is Leveraging your effort towards Prosperity

What is Network Marketing?Network Marketing is a relationship-based business; it is about people helping people to build a business or focusing on your customers for your products and services. Network Marketing really is an unseen business and it is all about sales.

It is a business vehicle in which anyone can invest a small amount of money, and through sheer tenacity and determination, achieve staggering levels of financial reward and personal freedom. But, for it to work successfully, it requires you to become educated on the principles and practices of the industry, and use a proven business marketing system.

Network Marketing is Direct Selling does not have giant signs or large offices, yet according to the Direct Selling Association (DSA) over 30 million people across the world are working in the Network Marketing/Direct Selling Industry.

The Network Marketing/MLM Industry has a very shady reputation. Many of the people you will talk to feel it is a scam. But nobody have emphasis any valid justification in this opinion. In many ways they are justified, but you can make a difference with the way you market your business. I am sure in today's world every traditional businessman also following virtually Network Marketing Model.
In the 1950's when Franchise’s first emerged, they where labeled a scam, illegal etc. Fortunately, a franchise is not labeled as such anymore or quite possibly you would not be enjoying your favorite hamburger today if that concept hadn't changed. Have a look at the two different, yet similar, business types that you could be involved in or approached with to earn Residual Income:
Network Marketing / Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)/Direct selling

Network Marketing/MLM/Direct Selling Businesses usually offer essential consumable,like books, CDS, household utencils, Medicine etc. at  reasonably priced products and services that people use in a short time. Generally the commission structure is less up-front then the direct sales companies, but it has a benefit that most direct sales companies do not have and that is Residual Income. It costs much less to get involved with this form of business, a few hundred dollars or less. Allows more people to become involved. Builds Residual Income.

You can Leverages the time of others.

Network marketing is all about sales and distribution, but a different kind of sales. It’s more of a soft sale or recommendation then the hard closing type that you’re accustomed to with the typical salesman or saleswoman in the direct sales. The best approach by far in Network Marketing is a consultative sales approach. This is used very successfully today and makes customers feel at ease.
Direct Sales Companies

These companies are known as seller-based, they market higher priced, usually one time sales items. The benefits of these programs are you make higher commissions but they have very little if any residual income. Essentially, if you stop working, so does your income.

You are paid directly on what you personally sell, so you have to sell lots and lots of merchandise. This also limits you to the type of people you can bring into your business as the “salesperson” type. Direct sales cost more to get involved with usually in the thousands of dollar range, again limiting you on the number of people that have or are willing to invest in a new venture!

If you are looking to get started in a Network Marketing Company, educate yourself and choose a responsible sponsor, before you take any action. Since this is a relationship based business, you need to feel comfortable with the person you choose to coach and mentor you.

It is vitally important to understand the different aspects of a Network Marketing company, compensation plans, training, products, services, before you actually pick a company that is right for you.
When you first get start looking at a network marketing business, you really need to have the mindset that you are starting your own Business. You need to tap into training from day one. There is so much you will have to learn that at times, you may feel completely overwhelmed.

If you stop to think of it as a giant puzzle with so many pieces that have to fit together properly, you will be on the road to success. Through out our life, business systems have taught each of us to be a good employee. College systems teach us to be a good manager.

We have never really been taught how to successfully run our own business. What you really need to do at this point, is unlearn everything that we’ve been taught. The typical employee mindset is to do as little work as possible, but to get richly compensated.
As a small business owner, if you’re not willing to go the extra mile in both time and money, then it is time you start thinking about doing something else in life. Not everyone is cut out to own and run a small business, let alone a Network Marketing/MLM Venture.

Network Marketing, should be about gathering customers and business partners. Yet, most of the companies today only teach you to recruit and get everyone on the product. You can build a very successful business with only a handful of representatives in your organization if they are taught to gather customers and other Opportunity Seekers who show a genuine interest in building a business.

How does Network Marketing work?
Today there are millions of people around the world building this unseen industry called network marketing.
The DSA reports that there are over 30 million people across the world involved in direct selling. You do not see them but they are everywhere, some probably right in your own neighborhood. It is a business in which common people can invest a small sum of money, and rise to staggering levels of financial reward and personal freedom.

Each day millions of people report to work, where your employer leverages your time to build his or her business and financial future. In Network Marketing, we help and assist others in building their business. We are also leveraging their time, while each of us is gathering customers along the way.
Hence, the name Network.
We are paid for this because we are assisting, coaching, and helping others to establish their business. We help them to reach their goals for their financial future. So, it’s only right that we also get paid for our time?
Just like your employer leverages your time, through network marketing, you can leverage the time of others. What does this mean?
Let’s take a look at a typical employer in a service industry with 100 or more employees that has a labor rate of 60 dollars per hour. The goal of our employer is to keep each employee active and busy for each hour paid.
Out of this, once all the costs of doing business are factored, such as wages, health insurance, unemployment insurance, federal taxes, state taxes, permits, maintenance, housekeeping, the list just goes on and on, the employer may get to keep 5 to 10 dollars per hour of that labor rate.
In Network Marketing, we have our initial start up costs, which are anywhere from just a few dollars to several hundred dollars. Where most Network Marketers fail is that they feel that they don't need a marketing budget for advertising and they don't seek out the education required to succeed.
One of the important most things to remember is, you are in a real business. You no longer have a boss holding you accountable. Your success or failure is dependent upon you and your actions.
Your primary task will be to gather customers for your products or services, to help and assist others to get started in their own business while being partnered with you. You are looking at a business model that will take 3 to 5 years to produce the kind of results you’re looking for.
So, don’t give up your day job just yet. It will require 10 to 20 hours of consistent time and effort each week to build a successful Network Marketing Business. It will require a marketing budget, most people do not even consider this. Once again, this is a real business! This is your business! It is not a get rich quick overnight program, although, it has been hyped by a great many naive Marketers and web sites.
Network Marketing is based on word of mouth advertising, which is the most effective form of advertising. Think about it. When you go out, watch a great movie, you will tell other people about it. When Sam’s Club or Costco moved to your area, you joined their buying club and started telling everyone how much you saved. This is the power of word of mouth advertising.
Major advertising agencies and companies count on this. This is one of the key things that we do as Network Marketers. The major difference is that we are paid for our word of mouth advertising.
One of the most often asked questions is, will I have to sell products and services? The answer is yes, of course. Think about it, no one likes to have a salesperson come to the door and sell them products, right? We hate to go to the automobile dealers, where we are swarmed with 5 different sales people all trying to get you to buy from them right! How are we, as a Network Marketer, different? We recommend products or services that we like and personally use. If we know it’s good, and personally use it, we recommend it to our friends and family is very easy.

Perfect Business Model

I know that a lot of you are already involved in Amway or you are shopping around for a MLM company to hang your heart on. It is true that Amway and some other Network Marketing companies have gotten some bad press over the years. But after a lot of research into the nature of the Amway business I have found that Amway truly is “The Perfect Business Model.” Let me tell you why I feel this way.
Network marketing has been around for a number of years and it is an outstanding method to get products into the hands of consumers. I realize that Amway has gotten a “bum rap” from many over the years and yes, I must say that I too have had negative things to say about Amway. I have heard Amway called every thing from a “get rich quick” scheme all the way to a down right scam. Again, I myself have been guilty of this. But just recently my opinion was changed radically and it came about when I reunited with an acquaintance that I had once worked with in the engineering industry.
I wouldn’t have listened past the first few seconds had not known her for many years. I took the time to hear what she had to say. Soon I realized that I was as excited about the opportunity as she was.
I think it was because recently I had sold my own retail business where my husband and I had worn all the hats. We had to do all the work and had all the responsibility. No aspect of the business escaped us, nor could we escape from it. If we stopped the business stopped and thus the income stopped. It was an all-consuming endeavor.
All this being said, let me tell you why I think Amway is the Perfect Business Model.
Reason #1 – You Can Depend on the Professionals to Run Your Amway Business. You have no leverage when you wear all the hats. It is a full-time 24/7 J-O-B that you can never really shut down. Your Amway business structure has taken care of all of that. They are the ones that have invested their time and money on product research and development, inventory control, shipping and receiving.
One of the best things is that you don’t have to handle returns or complaints, that is all taken care of by the MLM Company.
Reason #2 – Initial Investment is Usually Small
Most Multi-level marketing businesses I have researched allow their representatives to quality for a small initial investment. Once you start your business your success is determined by YOUR efforts and the results of those efforts to the top or you might just be that person yourself.
Reason #3 – Leverage
There are only 24 hours in a day. Your have to sleep sometime. But in network marketing the power and leverage of multiplication is amazing. Two soon becomes four. Four becomes eight. Eight becomes 16 etc., etc.
Reason #4 – Possibility of Building a Significant Residual Income.
Residual income does not apply to one-time retail sales. Sure, you can have loyal customers that come back to you year after year. But once you close your doors or retire, the income stops. Network marketing runs on recurring income and leverage. As your down line grows and as your MLM grows, your residual income taps into level after level of your down line. I know someone who is still receiving residual income from a MLM company that they were in 20 plus years ago. Now this is not a rule of thumb, it just depends on the MLM Company you join. So let this be a very big factor in choosing what Network Marketing company you join.
Reason #5 – Quality of Life
In a network marketing company, you are truly your own boss. Your achievements are based on the effort you put into building your business. Your business grows night and day. While you are spending time with your family, your business is still growing, and while you are away on vacation your business is still growing.
Reason #6 – Success Depends on Relationships
A lot of people call this relationship marketing and I smile when I hear that. After all, it is all about relationships. From what I have experienced it is all about people helping people. If your down line doesn’t succeed, you don’t succeed. And the same can be said for your up line. Everyone pulls together to help each other and many strong and amazing friendships are formed. I heard one person say that the years that he had spent in the networking marketing business had changed his life forever. The lessons he learned and the friends he met made him a better and stronger person.
Let this be a lesson to you also. Amway IS the “Perfect Business Model.”

Do Friends Influence Purchases in a Social Network?

  • Executive Summary:
    In spite of the cultural and social revolution in the rise of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace (and in South Korea, Cyworld), the business viability of these sites remains in question. While many sites are attempting to follow Google and generate revenues from advertising, will advertising be effective? If friends influence the purchases of a user in a social network, it could potentially be a significant source of revenue for the sites and their corporate sponsors. Using a unique data set from Cyworld, this study empirically assesses if friends indeed influence purchases. The answer: It depends. Findings are relevant for social networking sites and large advertisers. Key concepts include:
  • There is a significant and positive impact of friends' purchases on the purchase probability of a user.
  • However, there are significant differences across users. Specifically, this social effect is zero for 48 percent of the users, negative for 12 percent of the users, and positive for 40 percent of the users.
  • "Moderately connected" users exhibit "keeping up with the Joneses" behavior. On average, this social influence translates into a 5 percent increase in revenues.
  • Highly connected users tend to reduce their purchases of items when they see their friends buying them. This negative social effect reduces the revenue for this group by more than 14 percent. This finding is consistent with the typical fashion cycle wherein opinion leaders or the elite in the fashion industry tend to abandon one type of fashion and adopt the next in order to differentiate themselves from the masses.
    Abstract
    Social networks, such as Facebook and Myspace have witnessed a rapid growth in their membership. Some of these businesses have tried an advertising-based model with very limited success. However, these businesses have not fully explored the power of their members to influence each other's behavior. This potential viral or social effect can have significant impact on the success of these companies as well as provide a unique new marketing opportunity for traditional companies.
    However, this potential is predicated on the assumption that friends influence user's behavior. In this study we empirically examine this issue. Specifically we address three questions - do friends influence purchases of users in an online social network; which users are more influenced by this social pressure; and can we quantify this social influence in terms of increase in sales and revenue.
    To address these questions we use data from Cyworld, an online social networking site in Korea. Cyworld users create mini-homepages to interact with their friends. These mini-homepages, which become a way of self-expression for members, are decorated with items (e.g., wallpaper, music), many of which are sold by Cyworld. Using 10 weeks of purchase and non-purchase data from 208 users, we build an individual level model of choice (buy-no buy) and quantity (how much money to spend). We estimate this model using Bayesian approach and MCMC method.
    Our results show that there are three distinct groups of users with very different behavior. The low-status group (48% of users) are not well connected, show limited interaction with other members and are unaffected by social pressure. The middle-status group (40% users) is moderately connected, show reasonable non-purchase activity on the site and have a strong and positive effect due to friends' purchases. In other words, this group exhibits "keeping up with the Joneses" behavior. On average, their revenue increases by 5% due to this social influence. The high-status group (12% users) is well connected and very active on the site, and shows a significant negative effect due to friends' purchases. In other words, this group differentiates itself from others by lowering their purchase and strongly pursuing non-purchase related activities. This social influence leads to almost 14% drop in the revenue of this group. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of our results.
