Today, you will find that network marketing is being promoted as an easy money opportunity, where all you have to do is recruit people and sit back and make money out of their efforts.
However, I can tell you from personal experience that it is not as easy or lucrative as many people suppose it to be.
After being involved in the network marketing business for a long time, I decided it was time to look for an alternative.
After much research, I chose to join an online business opportunity.
If you are asking why I did this especially at a time, when thousands of people are looking for employment opportunities, the answer is straight forward - profit.
When we look to an employment situation or a business opportunity, we consider it only if we believe we can somehow benefit and profit from it financially.
When I found that the network marketing business was taking far too much of my time and not bringing in even half of what I was investing, I realized it was time to explore other options and look for something with more income potential.
I had worked very hard in the network marketing business, hosting presentations and working through my warm market to grow the business and make it a profitable success.
I was endlessly recruiting my family and friends into the business with hopes that they too, could have the time and financial freedom that they deserve.
Unfortunately, I found that I was spending more money in marketing, recruiting and training material, then I was making in profit.
There was just no leverage between my time and money, which made me quite concerned.
The entire network marketing business can be a very stressful process, especially when you are trying to manage your time and be with your family.
Having switched to an online business opportunity, I find that I have been able to leverage both my time and money.
My own home based business, gives me the freedom to be with my family and allows me the comfort and flexibility of working from anywhere I am - all I need is my computer.
An online business unlike a network marketing business offers a great return on your investments.
One of the major benefits of an online business is, it has the ability to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week once everything is up and running.
As well, if you are skilled at using social marketing tools, that will help grow your business and build great relationships.
Now, I can get to know thousands of people from across the globe and give them hope for a better business alternative to work from home.
