What Network Marketing is NOT

There are so many misconceptions flying around out there about what network marketing is or is not. Let's take a few seconds to review what network marketing is NOT.

Network Marketing is NOT an Illegal Pyramid scheme

Pyramid schemes and network marketing are not the same thing in any way shape or form. A pyramid schemes is illegal and network marketing is not. Pyramid schemes are illegal financial engines where there are no products or services being sold. Pyramid schemes are just an opportunity to redistribute money from one person to another.

Network marketing on the other hand is a legal business model where real and legitimate products and services are distributed between large networks of customers.

Network Marketing is NOT a way to get rich quick

Although some may advertise certain network marketing opportunities with a get in now and be rich in 5 minutes type hype that never happens. If you ever hear of someone getting into a network marketing opportunity and having immediate success it's because they had some sort of prior experience that set them up for that success. In general it takes 5 - 7 years of committed business building to get those large checks that so many of use out there want. If you want to get rich network marketing can definitely help you make that happen, but I assure you it's not going to be as quick as you think.

Network Marketing is NOT just for salespeople

Some people may falsely believe that network marketing is just for salespeople, but that's just flat out wrong. In the past, network marketing was much more of a salesperson's game, but today with the advent of the internet and automated marketing system the system does the selling. All an aspiring network marketer must do is get leads into their system and then teach their downline how to do the same. Today, network marketing really is much more of a sorting process.

Network Marketing is NOT for lazy people

Many people get into network marketing with the thought that all they have to do is find a couple of people and then just kind of sit back and watch the checks come in. This couldn't be further from the truth. If you ever meet anyone that is extremely successful at network marketing you will soon see that they are some of the hardest working people that you will ever meet.

Network marketing takes a lot of work. A whole lot of work for what seems to be very little reward when you first start. In order to truly be successful in network marketing you must work hard to expose your opportunity to as many people as you can. After the big checks start coming in you can work a little less, but you have to work extremely hard to get those big residual checks.

That's it. I hope I was able to clear a few things up for you.
