I think it is great. there have been very good compaines along the way and some very bad that give network marketing a bad rap.

I too am a "follower" of Rich Dad. Check out the recording on http://www.ratraceclub.com on the left side there is a recording that explains why the "b quadrant" is great.

Of course, just like any other network marketer, I have to share mine as well: http://www.gleamingskin.myarbonne.com

Best of luck!

Dagmawi M ~

"PiggiePants" has given good advice, and even done some good homework for you; its up to you take it to completion.

In addition to seeking info on the government FTC.gov web site, you must also learn from other experienced individuals specifically what to look for and to avoid, even among apparently legitimate opportunities. In essence, you need to acquire discernment ~ the ability to weed through the many "good" opportunities to find the few ones offering true, long-term value.

Not all companies that pass legal muster and have been acknowledged as legitimate fit this bill...I know this from experience.

Sufficiently educate yourself with practical information that will enable you to make this kind of assessment, and you will have traveled half the distance to realizing the potential of a network marketing business.

With all dues respect for Scott, but marketing is a business because it follow the guideline of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" according to the cash flow quadrant. If it wasn't a business then we wouldn't be receive tax credit for running a home business now would we? Yes it is true that people can get products from mall, shop, and etc but Scott forgot the fact that marketing can offer great deals like 7 days newspaper for 50 cents a week. I seen major newspaper company are doing it not because they want to sell it but make a public relation with customer for their company to be stable. I don't need to explain alots because I want you to research it.

Here is my network marketing business if you don't mind looking at it.

Before you invest any time and money in MLM or Network marketing, please review the FTC page: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/aler...

Multilevel or "network" marketing plans are a way of selling goods or services through distributors. These plans typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you'll receive commissions - for your sales and those of the people you recruit to become distributors.

Evaluating a Plan
The FTC suggests that you use common sense when evaluating a multilevel marketing opportunity and consider these tips as you make your decision:

Avoid any plan that includes commissions for recruiting additional distributors. It may be an illegal pyramid.

Beware of plans that ask new distributors to purchase expensive products and marketing materials. These plans may be pyramids in disguise.

Be cautious of plans that claim you will make money through continued growth of your downline, that is, the number of distributors you recruit.

Beware of plans that claim to sell miracle products or promise enormous earnings. Ask the promoter to substantiate claims.

Beware of shills - "decoy" references paid by a plan's promoter to lie about their earnings through the plan.

Don't pay or sign any contracts in an "opportunity meeting" or any other pressure-filled situation. Insist on taking your time to think over your decision. Talk it over with a family member, friend, accountant or lawyer.

Do your homework! Check with your local Better Business Bureau and state Attorney General about any plan you're considering - especially when the claims about the product or your potential earnings seem too good to be true.

Remember that no matter how good a product and how solid a multilevel marketing plan may be, you'll need to invest sweat equity as well as dollars for your investment to pay off.

network marketing is not a business, it is a medium.

(a medium is a method of communicating with prospects and customers. most people are familiar with the plural, "media")

as a medium, it can be successfully used to sell some products, mainly those with very high gross margins and repeat business, such as cosmetics and personal care, vitamins, food etc.

the question I always ask is, if the product can be sold successfully via network marketing, what other media can be used to sell it more effectively?

- internet, direct mail, infomercial, etc.
