Answer 2

Most people are afraid of network marketing companies because I personally believe no-one wants to be taken for a fool or be laughed at. But mainly the fear comes from the lack of information.
Yet, in reality Network Market is in fact a legal business. What has happen over the years and still today is lot of Crooks still preaching the Get-Rich-Quick song without having to do any work. Again many fall for this song and dance. And eventually when the riches doesn't come as quickly as they were promised it produces another person who gets tell 250 more people that network marketing is a scam. Just remember there are tons of legit network marketing companies out there, it's just that you have to work harder in finding them. And when you do, be prepare to work hard to achieve all that you've heard network marketing can provide.

Answer 3

Folks think that all network marketing companies are the same. Some of them are like corporations where the guy at the top makes the largest portion of the money and there is little chance to get to the top yourself. However, some are not and you have to check into the company to learn their structure. I have not needed a job for most of 2 years now as a result of building a networking business and I have seen many lives change for the better in the process. Like anything else, there is good and not-so-good in the networking business.

Answer 4

The problem with network marketing is basically because as a generic title every type of business which operates using people at home and which cannot be fitted into another business type gets logged under network marketing. What people confuse network marketing with is pyramid selling which is completely different and illegal.
In conventional businesses the marketing and sales dept are usually separate entities, marketing involves raising the prospective customer's awareness of a product, and sales makes the actual sale.
In networking, sales and marketing are lumped together but are very different, in network selling, you buy products at wholesale and sell them on to your customers, and teach others to do the same, but in network marketing proper there are no sales all, you do is raise the awareness of a person to a service or product using word of mouth advertising. The person can then decide if they wish to proceed with the product or service.
What is little known is that network marketing is the fastest growing industry in the world today, what a pity that it is not taught in schools.

Answer 5

Network marketing is selling a marketing program. The people at the top make all of the money and downstream people make less at each level down. A lot of people make nothing after paying for the programs.

Affiliate marketing is usually free to get into and can be a good business that becomes established over a period of time and you can leave it to your children.

Answer 6

Gee....maybe it's because 99% of the people who join a network marketing company lose money.

The quickest way to clear a room is to have a Quixtar, Primerica, Herbalife, or other network marketing rep enter.

Answer 7

If you have been considering an affiliate marketing venture, there are some very good reasons why you should go with this method of generating recurring revenues. The first one is the you do not need a product to make money. You simply have to promote other people?s products which are already on sale. Meaning to say, you do not have to invest money anymore in the design and production of your products. You do not even need a place to stock them, and you do not have to manage invoicing, delivery, refunds or customer service.

Because some of the big named ones have either become saturated or out of business. There is more money to be made with direct marketing these days. Most people aren't disciplined enough to make educated decisions because all they get use to hearing is the word scam. But we know better than that!

Times change. Consumer buying habits change. We live in a VERY different world that 10-12 years ago when consumer buying habits were different. Consumers today seem to enjoy shopping at Wal-Mart (one-stop-shop).
