Let us consider the various arguments and see how they stack up. Network marketing is a marketing medium. It is word of mouth advertising which, as we know, is the most powerful form of advertising and rightly so: it works and it works well. You see a good movie, you tell your friends and off they go to catch the movie too. You eat at a good restaurant, you tell your friends, and off they go to dinner. Meet a dodgy plumber...well you get the picture. We live in the age of recommendation and social proof, this being what the whole social media bonanza has thrived on - so the medium itself is sound. Frequently the first objection to network marketing, or MLM, is the accusation that it is a pyramid scheme, like that is a bad thing and as a result only those that get in at the start will be successful. This is completely false and here is why.. For one, the world works in pyramid structures just look at governments, the military, the corporate world; you have the head honcho, his right hand (wo)men and then the people below them. Those are pyramid structures and these organisations largely work. You don't see anyone having a problem with that now do you? Well true, many people have many issues with the organisations mentioned but rarely because of their pyramid structure. It is an accepted model used widely. The argument then usually boils down to the point that there is a finite amount of people and so someone will always ultimately lose out. Once upon a time that might have been a viable argument, a time when there was no Internet and the world was a smaller place. A time when people remained contained to just their patch in the world with no real outside interaction. Nowadays we have the Internet and with that billions of people connected to the biggest marketplace ever created. There are millions of people online daily looking for information, how to start a business, how to earn more money, how they can replace their jobs. Does anyone really think that in their lifetime or the next there will be a lack of people to join your opportunity? If so, you missing the big picture. So that should put to bed issues about the structure and the marketing medium. Now we enter the other big argument, one that people say they tried something that didn't work and hence they were scammed. We need to have a careful look here as this is where things get interesting. As with all businesses and opportunities, there will always be some that fail due to lack of knowledge and experience of their management team or alternatively because they were true scams, ponzi schemes or chain type affairs. This is not restricted to network marketing though but a business wide phenomenon. As far as network marketing companies are concerned there are 100s if not 1000s of great companies and opportunities. You would have heard of the companies that have been around for a while such Amway, Herbalife. Most of these companies offer superb opportunities and products. Each person needs to do their own evaluation of the opportunity they want to get involved in. They need conduct due diligence and cover all the basic questions. They need to be happy with the company and its products as that person will be acting on behalf of the company. Is it their responsibility at the end of the day to be confident in the company and the reasons they chose it. The real issue is that we get those people that maintain that network marketing doesn't work or that they tried it and it didn't work for them,they lost money so it must be a scam. Instead of being brutally honest and looking inwards for the reason they failed, they are more likely to point outwards at the business. It is human nature to try shift blame to something or someone else. It doesn't make it true though. There are two key reasons people fail in network marketing, the first is that they don't have a clear proven success blueprint, a step by step guide to show them how to succeed; the second is that they just didn't to the work required to achieve the results they were expecting or hoping to see. In order to succeed with a network marketing business, you have to work at it. You have to put in the effort. You have to act is if you have a $100 000 company at your fingertips as that is the potential of a network marketing business. However you cannot hope to see those numbers if you treat it as a hobby. To expect to achieve success, however, without effort, is a pipedream. Any good opportunity has the potential to make you money. The question is then are you prepared to take the personal responsibility and put into action, consistently, the right steps and set yourself realistic expectations. So if you are prepared to follow a proven plan, to take personal responsibility for the outcome and your results, then you in good shape and likely to succeed. If not, well then you will most likely be another voice talking down network marketing when in reality there was really only ever one person to blame. You.
