Here are a few big differences a network marketing business offers in the way of saving over the brick and mortar business.

1. No outside office space to rent. Work in the comfort of your own home. You don't even need an office. Just a place for your computer and phone. Renting office space is not cheap. And you wont's have to spend time meeting with property managers finding the right location. The right location for your home based business is wherever you want it in your home.

2. No warehouse space. Most products are ordered and direct shipped from the factory warehouse. In the old days people would stock products in their basement or garages. Not anymore. All orders can be direct shipped and you never ever handle the product.

3. No sales people needed. With a home based business mlm you get paid on the sales of your downline without actually hiring them as employees. You are paid in residual income to help train them to run their own business. Thanks to the internet and conference calls anyone can do that regardless of their current experience.

4. No office staff needed. All orders can be done via a 1-800 or your company provided website. As more and more people get comfortable ordering online you just refer them to your website to make a sale or recruit them as a distributor.

5.. No special equipment to buy. All you need is a computer and a phone. You don't even need to set up a separate phone line for business. Running a home based business allows you to use what you already have.

A network marketing home based business is going require you to work hard to develop retail customers and a network of distributors doing the same. You make money on your sales and the sales of your group.

The beauty of this is called duplication. By helping people set up their own network marketing business at home you are able to accomplish more than if you had to do all of the work yourself or if you had to hire employees.

In conlcusion although there are many more differences between a home based business and a traditional business when you combine your network marketing business with a home based business you have a great way you can make extra money.
