As an independent agent of a network marketing company, you have the opportunity to sell the products for a commission of retail sales. The representative that has the most retail sales gets the most commissions. This is an amazing opportunity for those who are self-motivated and don't mind setting goals and achieving those goals. It's always easier to sell products that you are passionate about so keep this in mind when choosing which network marketing company to join.

Another way to make money with a network marketing opportunity is through recruitment and sharing the knowledge with other potential sales representatives. You offer them the same opportunity to be their own boss and work the business the same way you have been doing. When they sign up for the opportunity, they become your personal recruits. This allows you to earn commissions off what they sell. The more you recruit, the more you earn and all this is on top of your personal sales commission.

The biggest obstacle most people face in network marketing is finding prospects or leads to sell products to or to offer their business opportunity to. That's where using a funded proposal helps. A funded proposal involves selling an inexpensive but useful product to cover your advertising and marketing expenses and then later introducing your real products or network marketing opportunity.

There are many benefits to using a funded proposal which include:
1. Generating revenue for advertising
2. Learning to generate free targeted leads for life
3. Customers become pre-trained and educated about online marketing techniques
4. Gaining the trust and respect of your customers who may potentially become your business partners by building a relationship with them first
5. New sales representatives can be in a positive cash flow situation immediately

Using a funded proposal is the best way to recruit in network marketing. All network marketers should be using this system.

You still have to work hard to become successful in network marketing. As always, please check the reputation of the company before signing up. There are many reputable companies out there. Look for longevity and others who have been successful and by all means, use a funded proposal for marketing your opportunity. Good luck and enjoy your new business.
