Network marketing is a business model that depends on person-to-person sales by independent representatives, often working from home with modest investment. A network marketing business may require you to build a network of business partners or salespeople to assist with lead generation and closing sales. Network marketing appeals to people with high energy and strong sales skills, who can build a
profitable business with a modest investment. A network marketing business can be a single-tier program, whereby you sell the products, or multi-tier, where you also recruit additional salespeople. Beware of network marketing companies that create many tiers of salespeople or require you to purchase expensive products or training material up-front, Make sure to thoroughly research the company before you join. Network marketing is known by a variety of names, including multilevel marketing (MLM), cellular marketing, affiliate marketing, consumer-direct marketing, referral marketing, or home-based business franchising. It is certainly possible, although not probable. Some people do enjoy great success at network marketing, largely due to their ability to recruit more members to the network. There are two main revenue sources: selling products, and commissions from sales made by team members downline. The more people there are downline from you, the more money you will accrue - the larger the team you can recruit, the more money you can make.
