i Was told today that i would do great in network marketing, what exactly is this, how do i get started building a business, like the very first step, please dont refer me to websites, unless they will give me step by step on exactly 100% how to do it. please answer me only if you have complete knowledge. Thank you!

Simply put it’s referral marketing. You become a distributor for a company. You sell the product/service and get paid for it. You also recruit others to do the same and you earn overrides from their sales. The basic concept is this. We recommend things to others every day. We just don’t get paid for it. Most people will never be a great salesperson, but everyone can recommend something and make a few sales. By recruiting others you are building a team of other people who can make a few sales. Eventually you have a lot of people each doing a little bit and it adds up to a significant income.

As for how to start most people will say just sign up and make a list of people you know then present the info to them. I disagree. The first step is to find the right company. There are lots of network marketing companies out there. Some are good, some are bad and some are really just ponzi schemes disguised as network marketing. There are lots of fly by night and me too companies out there. It is very important to choose a stable company with a real product or service that you can believe in and that gives people more value than what they pay for it. If you would not buy a product if there were no business opportunity attached to it then that is not the company for you. I’ve written an article on how to evaluate network marketing opportunities (general info, doesn’t recommend a specific company). Email me if you want the link to it. I can also suggest several stable companies worth looking into.

After you’ve found the right company and signed up you need to plug in to the system. A good network marketing company will have a simple, duplicatable system that is idiot proof. Actually sometimes idiots do better, because they just follow the simple instructions rather than thinking they are smarter than anyone else and trying to reinvent the wheel. Your sponsor or someone in your upline should be there to "hold your hand" in the beginning stages of your business and walk you through the steps of building your business and teach you that system. As you grow your business and begin to feel more comfortable with it they should still be there to support you as needed. The first thing your sponsor and the system will teach you is to contact everyone you know and share the info about your new business with them. They will teach you how exactly to go about doing that. You want to do it in a way that they don’t feel that you are just calling to sell them something and just reject you without even looking at the info. You may invite them to a presentation at your home, give them a DVD or CD, send them to a website, take them to a professional lunch presentation or evening presentation at a local meeting room, etc. After you get going your sponsor will let you know which specific tools your company has available and how to use them. After that you will learn how to prospect for new customers and distributors while you are out doing the things you normally do.

Work at home call center.
Just to let you know I’m just gonna do tech support and not telemarketing.

You need to send your resume out to real jobs you are qualified to do.

In your cover letter you need to state that you wish to work remotely, from your home office. LOTS of companies, especially in CA operate this way. They usually provide transportation for you to come in for an interview and for you to attend company meetings a few times a year, but otherwise everything is done online.

how have cell phones and social networking sites changed the way we communicate and interact with one another ?
Pros AND Cons please.
How have they changed over the years? And what has it done to society as a whole?

I am new to network marketing. The company I’m with is well established and on the NYSE. I just figured I would reach out to you all and see if someone could give me any tips. I would love to hear your story.

Elizabeth,

You’re about to discover just how may ‘experts’ there are on network marketing.

Some of the advice you’ve already been given is sound. Some of it not so sound.

I do my 90% of my business online. I simply don’t have time to wade through hundreds of people that are not interested in what I offer to find one or 2. That’s a game no one can win… Not in one lifetime anyway.

Here’s some information that may help you get started out the right way.

Best of Luck to you!

If you constantly break a social networking site terms of service, can legal action be taken against you?
I ask because I know some people who post nude photos of themselves online that is against some sites TOS. What if they keep doing it over and over again?

The ‘Terms of Service’ are not civi or criminal law,
the are the private rules of a private endeavor.
They can bar you from the site, (suspend service),
for breaking them. That’s about it.
With something like photos, it might be up to other users to report the violation.
(I’d guess that only ugly nudes would be reported.)

Just to make it clear. I feel this way because they focus mainly on recruiting others (sponsoring) and on residual income. That is exactly what MLM companies focus on. It aounds like a complete pyramid scam.

I have been a part of the Exit Realty system for three years now and I can say that the "Exit Formula" is 100 percent legal and NOT a scam. Admittedly, I have seen some agents taking the whole sponsoring thing to the extreme, and that could cause a bad impression, but that does NOT speak for the validity of Exit. In a nutshell here is the deal. I hate to make this long, but I want to be sure the information is CLEAR!

(1) Exit Realty is a 10 year old, legitimate and respected real estate brokerage franchise. Just like ReMax, C21 or Keller Williams (which also has a residual component, but not as profitable as Exit), and licensed all over the USA. It’s tough to be a "scam" and still hold your brokerage licenses!

(2) Agents start out with a 70 / 30 split with the broker, and when the agent’s gross commissions hit 100K, the split then goes to 90 / 10 (with the broker keeping 10 percent). There are no "desk fees" or "admin fees". It’s a clean compensation plan for the agents

But there is the "residual component"

(3) IF an agent "sponsors" another agent into Exit Realty (with any Exit Brokerage in the US or Canada), the COMPANY will pay the "sponsor" a residual on the business created by the sponsored agent. This residual payment comes from the BROKER’S CUT … not the sponsored agent.

The "full time" recruiting agent gets 10% of the gross sales commission of recruits - OR
The "retired" recruiting agent gets 7% of the gross sales commission of recruits - OR
The heirs of a deceased recruiting agent gets 5% of the gross commission of recruits.

(All with a MAXIMUM of $10,000 per year … when the recruited agent hits the 90% commission level)

Last year I generated (part time) $20,000 in commissions from a few listings that I sold. BUT I also earned another $4500 from another agent that I sponsored into Exit (in another office) who LOVES the basic compensation plan with the brokerage.

This is not a scam or ponzi scheme - it’s a system where the company legally rewards agents for helping to grow the Exit brand.
