INTRODUCTION
Network marketing is, in short, a "business in a box". For a nominal fee, you
can register with a certain company in order to build up an organization
based around their products or services. You are classed as an independent
business owner: registered with, but not employed by, the parent company.
They probably bought some popcorn with their film, and maybe a drink.
Perhaps they paid some money to park in the cinema car park. All told, they
might have spent at least forty pounds together. That's forty pounds that the
cinema got thanks to your efforts. But how much did you get paid for doing
them such a favour? Not a penny! The cinemas and the film-makers spend
all of their money on hugely expensive advertising campaigns and rely on
these to encourage people to see the movies. Except that there are two
problems: Firstly, millions of dollars are spent advertising to people who
have already seen the movie, or have no intention of ever doing so;
Secondly, have you ever been to see a movie because it looked good from
the commercials, but actually it was terrible?! So network marketing came
about to solve these problems.
Network marketing companies sell practically everything you could ever
think of, but very few of them ever advertise. They rely on 'referral
marketing' to spread the word about their products. That is to say, they make
sure that they have an exceptionally good product, and then rely on people to
spread the word for them. In thanks for doing this, they pay those people for
each sale made as a result of their efforts. This is much more efficient than
blanket advertising, because the company is only paying for sales made, so it
saves a huge amount of money which can be funneled into producing better,
cheaper products, and paying its distributors (that is, those who are doing the
'referring') very well indeed.
Wait - it gets better! Imagine the cinema situation again. Now imagine that
four of the friends whom you told about the film also really loved the
experience and each told half a dozen of their friends about it. That's another
24 people who will go to the cinema and probably spend well over a
hundred pounds between them. Now, those people only went because the
film was recommended by their friends. That's just like what you did in the
first instance - you told half a dozen people about the film and they all went
to see it, so you did the cinema a favour. If the cinema worked by network
marketing then you would get paid for telling your friends about the film,
just like your friends would get paid for telling their friends about it.
However, these 24 new people also only went to see the film because you
started the ball rolling by telling the people whom you knew. So in a sense,
you should get paid for them too. Not as much, as before, naturally, because
you didn't actually do the work in getting them there.
So let's expect that two thirds of those 24 people also told six friends. That's
another 96 people going to see the film, or 126 extra people in total who
have now seen the film because of you. Even if the cinema only gave you a
few pence for each one of those, you would still be able to earn a few
pounds just because you did a few people a favour. That's network
marketing. And because sales are now happening on recommendation, really
bad films wouldn't ever get any viewers because they wouldn't get
recommended - nobody wants to annoy their friends! So that would force the
cinema only to show the very best films and to guarantee the highest quality
services.
This first person is a member of your downline. They are on your first level.
As time goes on, you will introduce other people to the organization, and
these people will in turn introduce a second level and so on. These are all
members of your downline, and you are their upline. Your own upline is the
person who introduced you to the business. Your upline will offer you help
and advice because they won't succeed until they help a number of their
downline also to succeed! The more money you make, the more money they
make. Clearly your organization will never be as large as theirs, because
yours is a part of theirs, but most network marketing companies reward
those who bring in most of the distributors. If you do very little work, but
just happen to register someone who works extremely hard, then it is only
fair that they should get far more money from their group than you do.
Remember - to retire from a job you don't need a lottery win - you just need
to replace your income. If you could replace your current salary with a truly
residual income which came in every month and sometimes actually grew,
would you continue to work?
HISTORY OF NETWORK
MARKETING
Network marketing has been around for nearly fifty years. It started in
the US, and the first major modern network marketing business was
formed in 1959. This company was created by business partners Rich
DeVos and Jay VanAndel, originally with just one single product and a
new and unique business vision. They regarded conventional sales jobs
as unfair - being paid only once for the work that they did even when the
company continued to make a profit from their labours for many years
afterwards. They believed that they should be paid relative to the benefit
the company continued to get from their original work. The only problem
with this was that no company would sanction their model of business,
and the extra costs of paying the salesmen on an ongoing basis would
have pushed the price of the products far too high to be saleable.
So DeVos and VanAndel broke away and formed their own company,
returning a few years later with enough money to buy out their original
employers and incorporate the vitamin business into their growing
corporation. Their company is now a multi-billion dollar business
operating in virtually every developed country in the world. Within a few
short years, many more companies followed in their footsteps and now
network marketing is responsible for a turnover of tens of billions of
dollars in the US alone.
