I always make sure there's NO passing up sales or qualification required. You'll make more money faster because there are no "pass-ups" required. As a new distributor, you would keep your full commission on every single sale made from the very beginning.



Make sure your leverage as an upline sponsor never ends with a unique compensation plan, as you'll want to continue to receive commissions on every single sale made by your fellow distributors forever - instead of just 1 or 2 "training sales". Now that's a well structured compensation plan.

Network marketing has always been based on the idea of working for 3-5 years and building a life long residual income that you can will to your grandkids. The problem is you'll need hundred's of members to make enough money to leave your regular job. Way too long for me. I need my money today not 3-5 years from now. Do your due diulenge to find a business that pays top commissions of $300.00 or more per sale. Doing so will make your goal of working from home come sooner. That's why I prefer direct sales, get paid today when you need the money.

The second thing I look for is if the product can stand on it's own. You want a product that has mass appeal. People either want it or need it, because the only way you make an INC0ME is from people purchasing this product from you.

The third thing I look for is how long the company has been in business. You want a company that has been around longer than a year. Statistics show most opportunities that are unstable fold within their first 6 months... so I give a 6 month cushion for myself.

Next, I look for is some automation. Why? Automation frees a lot of time and if there is a strong system in place, it will do the DIRTY work for me! I can then spend my time on INC0ME producing activity... or non business related things that I love to do.

I also want to be sure there is a good training and support system in place. I do not want the burden of training everyone who joins me in the business. I want that to be pretty automated as well. Of course, some interaction is necessary and healthy... but I don't mind doing SOME of the work.

Lastly, I want to know people are having success in the business. I always like to hear testimonials to know people are making money, it reassures my decision.

I hope I was helpful in helping you make the right decisions in finding a home based business.
