Where’s the Big Money in Network Marketing?

The Big Money is earned by the “early birds”. Those who enrolled early in network marketing companies are the ones who earn big time. Correct? I beg to disagree. I know of so many people who have been around with a networking company for over ten years. And I also know of people who have just joined over a year and who are earning way, way more than their sponsors.  You see, Network Marketing has a unique and absolutely brilliant structure. Everyone who joins become the owner of their own business. They become franchises of a business that already has a system in place – system that’s proven to work. However, just like any other business, nothing will work if you will NOT WORK. Follow the system, work hard, and you get good results. No work. No pay. Follow the wrong formula, get poor results. It’s really just as simple as that.

Stacey was a janitress when she joined a network company. She sacrificed one month salary to enroll herself and shared the business like crazy. She would talk to just about everyone just to get instant cash. Stacey is now one of the top earners and is still working hard to motivate her team members to do the same thing. Her sponsor? Oh, Mandy is quite happy with his current lifestyle. He did not pursue network marketing on a full time basis but he is still getting a handsome amount of money as over-riding bonuses because of hard-working downlines like Stacey. He is certainly benefiting from the large organization that this ex-janitress has built over the years. But compared to the income being received by Stacey, Mandy’s check is nothing. But isn’t that just fair? It is, because Stacey is consistently working hard all these years.

And there is this husband and wife team of Tim and Amy. Both started as part-time networkers but eventually learned to improve their craft as seasoned networkers. They worked their way up and built a business that could mostly be done right at the comfort of their own home. They have merited many recognition awards from their company including the “Most Improved Distributor” of the Year. But the greatest rewards are their newly-found financial freedom and the joy of being able to work at home where they can also be hands-on with their children. This is, again, just one success story of people who out-performed their sponsors.

Bottom line is, most people have the preconceived notion that they need to join an organization in its pioneering stage to be on top. The mindset is conditioned to think that the earlier you join and sign up, the better as you get paid by other people’s effort. But the reality is that it is far from the truth. The compensation plan is structured THE SAME FOR EVERYONE. You get to be on board and given equal opportunity as everyone else in the team. You are your own boss and the position DOES NOT MATTER. What counts is your effort to produce results.

And so the next time you get the opportunity to join a good network marketing company, never think people will only use you to get rich. The structure is set to give everyone the opportunity to earn passive income at a certain point when they are able to build a strong organization of their own. Your leader will enjoy that only if he works hard himself. And if you become a better leader than he is, you are likely to get more huge paychecks in your account – all because you earned it and treated network marketing like it’s your own business.
