Network Marketing Success - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

You want to have success in your network marketing business, we all do. But, you know, there is the good, the bad and the ugly. What do I mean about that? I see a lot of posts on Facebook for example saying thing like, "I need a home business opportunity, but I can't leave my house, I don't have any money to invest and I don't want to do any prospecting and no selling". Okay, well, gosh, gee, how do you expect to do anything if you're not willing to give anything? That sounds like welfare to me.

Maybe what you really want is a job. How about stuffing envelopes or something that pays minimally and has little or no upside potential? If that is what you are looking for, OK. But know that many of those are scams. The perpetrator takes some reasonably small amount of money in exchange for a big promise, sells you a meaningless course and disappears from planet earth.

In order to be successful, we have to give before we can receive. There are good network marketing companies out there and there are bad ones. Every now and then we hear about a bad company or we hear about people who scam people. But look, if I'm sitting there and I'm saying, 'I don't want to invest', 'I don't want to do anything', 'I don't want to leave my house', 'I don't want to call people', 'I don't want to prospect' you are ripe for the ugly.

Someone's going to give you the ugly. You're going to be targeted by the scamsters and the pranksters and the people that have offers that really don't work. They are going to take all your money.

Legitimate network marketing companies require an investment. It might be a small one, maybe only a couple hundred dollars but it is not zero. They also require prospecting and talking to people to build a team and earn additional income. That's what network marketing means. You have to network to succeed.

As I have said many times, there are no free rides and no get rich quick schemes. There are many good network marketing opportunities and a plethora of information about how to choose the best opportunity for you.

Bottom line is, to be successful in network marketing, you have to invest in both yourself and the company, you have to spend time and most important, you have to network.
