These companies may have been in business for a while and have a big corporate office. It makes it look really good, right? These companies have products that everyone else has and can be hard to sell for the average person.



Most of these businesses have a 30-day cycle monthly shipping plan to send you products each and every month. Much of the money they make is from this monthly plan from each distributor. The rest of their money comes from the distributor selling the products.

They only pay about 2% to 20%, but the truth is, there are many loop holes to these compensation packages, and very few actually make it to the highest part of the plan. Much of these plans also end up being unbalanced, but they will have their leaders tell you how easy it is to balance it effectively. It is harder than what is said.

It is hard to know how to pick a company on your own since one company will be similar to another, but the hype of the 'next best latest thing' about this one company persuaded you to believe it was a better deal than 'those others'. So how do you discern a good company from the rest of them?

Here is a good start. Your first thing is you know you want to make good money and do so in an ethical way. You want to be honest and feel good about what you are offering. You do not want to harm anyone. You need to know the 'whole story' of what the company can offer you.

You know the company will be profiting on your hard work, if they pay less than 75%. If they offer less than this amount, then turn in the other direction since you will making the company rich on your efforts.

If you have to have thousands of people in your group before you make any decent money, then don't sign up since it is rare that people ever get that amount of people, even through their teams efforts. Now some people can do this, but it is not often.

If they tell you to contact your friends and family, then run like crazy. If they have minimum amount of training, then most likely the company is more interested in selling you their products, than training you how to have a real business.

One of the biggest signs is if you can not profit from a few sales, then you know they've got you! If the owners are not around when you have a question, then you should ask why? Where are they? (On a cruise to the Bahama's?) Or are they afraid to answer your good questions...like 'How come I sold hundreds of products I only made $23.55'?

If it is a brand new company, then be careful. Make sure they are have their ducks in a row. Every company has to start somewhere, but make sure they are solid. If you get a feeling they are not on solid ground, then just don't get involved. You'd have better chances at a casino than with them!

I hope this guideline has helped you. If you follow this advice along with using your own good judgement and that little voice we all have within us. Be patient and ask every question you can think of to make that good choice!
