Network Marketing -- Evil Scheme or Real Income Possibility?
I recently attended a conference based on network marketing and I learned a great deal. Not only about the company I am involved with but the basic idea of network marketing itself.
Many consider network marketing a pyramid scheme where only those at the top receive any substantial income and those at the bottom must do all the work without hope of reward. If that is your definition of a pyramid then I guess all businesses are pyramids. The CEO gets the largest share of the income and the workers down below building the products receive only an hourly wage and benefits.
But, those same employees have the opportunity to work and raise in the company to foremen, or other positions gaining more rewards and greater income. Network marketing is much the same -- the more time, energy and work you put into your business the greater your rewards as you move up. The biggest difference is that with network marketing YOU control your advancement. In most businesses you must wait for an opening to become a foreman and be recognized by those in charge as someone who can handle the job. Your advancement depends upon others above you.
One of the speakers said, "Jesus was the greatest network marketer of all." When he first said that I was shocked but as he explained it became clear. Jesus started with a core group of 12 disciples. Although many more heard His voice and followed Him this core group of 12 became the backbone of His "network marketing". These twelve people began what has become the most well known and most beloved "network marketing" program in the world. Even today thousands of years after His short life was ended here on earth people continue to worship Him and learn about His love and the program He set in place for all of us. This 'pyramid' does not require you to win the approval of those above you to advance it requires only your hard work, dedication and belief. Think about it.
Network marketing is simply a way of building a business by adding others to your team that spread the word and in the process build businesses of their own. By promoting this way of reaching others you can achieve great things. BUT, remember you must help those below you to advance to advance yourselves. Unlike most businesses you are not dependent upon those above you but upon those below you. If you do not help others to succeed then you will not succeed. If Jesus had not taught the disciples well and helped them to grow they would not have been able to achieve their greatness. These people built great churches that in turn brought more and more people into them and started more churches and Christianity grew to the enormous faith it is now. People helping others is the only way a network marketing program will succeed.
Those who maintain that network marketing is a pyramid scheme fail to see the difference between 'buying' your way to the top and helping others to build and grow to achieve your own advancement. Network marketing offers real income potential if you treat it as a business and dedicate time and energy to helping others build their businesses as well. Jesus was the greatest network marketer of all and He showed us that only by helping others can we succeed.
