To help us understand, perhaps it would help to look first at what the alternatives to running a network marketing business have to offer.

You have probably heard many times, that eighty five out of one hundred small businesses fail within the first five years. But, do you realise that franchises, which are reputed to massively reduce the risk, don’t improve the statistics by much. Typically only one third of all franchises make a profit and upon further investigation it is the more expensive ones that fair better, whilst the cheaper ones are the most risky. But how many people have multiple six and seven figure sums to invest in a top franchise?

With that unattractive evidence, it’s not hard to understand why people shy away from the idea of risking their home and future in an ‘orthodox’ business model.

So how do we solve this puzzle? Over the last ten years fluctuating employment levels and unprecedented advances in technology have increased the pressure on those in work to keep their jobs. Many people, even with high grade degrees, find themselves moving through five or more jobs in their lifetime. More and more people are being driven to look for alternatives where they can take control of their future, but without the risks connected with opening a ‘traditional’ business. For many, Network Marketing has proved the perfect alternative, especially now with the global market provided by the internet.

If we compare some typical network marketing business features with those of a franchise or any independent small business start up, you may understand running a network marketing business is so welcome to many.

Although there are a few exceptions, the start up cost of most network marketing businesses is less than $1,000. In many countries there is a “cooling off” period during which a 90% refund guarantee operates for those who change their minds. Because paperwork, stockholding and staffing requirements are non-existent or kept to a minimum, network marketing businesses are generally part-time and home based. If you are associated with a global company, then there is no restriction on your area of operation making your earning potential genuinely unlimited. Although helpful, previous experience is not essential as training and support are usually provided for free.

I am sure that most people would agree that the features listed above would be the makings of a perfect enterprise and very different to any ‘orthodox’ business. But most would not believe that such an opportunity existed. It does. It is the typical network marketing business opportunity.
