Yeah...that's what a lot of people who don't really know what it is say all the time.
I've run into so many people that tell me that....until I show them my paycheck.
And you know what?........the way business is set up today.....the one on top always gets the real money...........just like in networking...except in networking you can become the one on top with the right company.
>>except in networking you can become the one on top with the right company.
With the exception of Amway, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, and Excel telephone, there is little money to be made..
Even so, one has to be way up on the chain to be making real dough...
If you are fortunate enough to be in a position to join network marketing and be a "regional" person, ie a person at the top of the chain for a particular region, there is loads of cash...Anybody would be a fool not to jump in at this level, provided the products being sold have actual demand...
For a majority of people, however, there isn't much money to be made, except off of the relatives they pester...
And then there is the old spiel.. "do you want to be in business for yourself"... "You want to be rich right".. which ends up in a pitch for a lunch meeting to discuss amway, etc..
The pitches remind me of people on infomercials selling crap. They use what I call "mulitlevel marketing logic" -- sounds good, sounds logical on the surface, but in reality it falls short.
For a very small few, networking marketing works because they are at the top of the money chain..
There is nothing like being pestered from a friend or a stranger about their new "business"....
I'd rather hear from my lawyer...
