But the good thing about network marketing, is that anybody can be succesfull in the business model, provided they have good people skills. No qualifications or experience is needed, if you are willing to treat it like a business and are willing to work it.



The first thing you should understand is the difference between Multi Level Marketing, and Pyramid selling.

It's important to comprehend the following sentences, read through them carefully.

A Network Marketing company supplies their product to consumers through a network of distributors, these distributors make a percentage from the sales or products that they sell, as well as from the products that people they sign up sell, hence multi level marketing.

Pyramid selling on the other hand, pays you for each new distributor that you sign up, unlike a product driven company that pays commisions for products sold. You really need to understand this as pyramiding is illegal in most countries.

The second thing you must consider is how old the company is.

Many companies when starting out, advertise it's the next big thing, and you should get in early before everyone knows about it. But the truth is the average lifespan of any new MLM business is only 7 months, so you don't want in early.

You want a well established company, with a trusted product. If the product is good, you don't have to worry about getting in to late, because there will always be an expanding market. You don't want to put your time and money into a short lived venture, the older the company the more successful it must be.

Any product driven company can only survive if their products are sold, therefore they should be dedicated to helping you succeed, and provide you with all the training and resources needed to expand your business.

But they should not have to pressure distributors, or make un-reasonable demands to move that product, the product should be able to sell itself. You should be aware that being a product driven company, they will expect you to sell some products and will reward distributors higher commisions and rewards for the more sales you make.

After all rewarding higher product sales, makes sense, if the company is product driven.

So there you have it, anyone can start a MLM business with no experience, but you should research the company, make sure there well established, provide full support and training and most importantly are a product driven company.
