Network marketing is a business in which a distributor network is required to make you money. It is also known a multi-level marketing or MLM.

The structure of the business is so simple that with the right program and products anyone can make some money. It's not a get rich quick scheme. Network marketers make money from direct sales and indirect sales.

If I refer you to a site and you buy, then I've just made a direct sale ... high $$. If I refer you to a site and you sign up to sell, you become a distributor under me. You make a sale, you get high $$, I get $$ too.

The key is the number of levels of distributors that get paid. The more levels the lower the $$, the fewer the levels the higher the dollars. The simpler the commission structure, the higher the return.

There are many, many programs out there that offer great promises, high dollars, & high returns...but beware. The system that has you in one line while everyone else is building a different line isn't helping you with your return on investment. Multiple leg systems don't work for the guy in the middle or the bottom. A good example is FreeStore Club, 1 main leg coming down and all you have to do is build your leg in order to get a piece of the pie. Three years later, and I have yet to see any return from the commission structure...but I do like the store products and frequently sell them on my own site and on Ebay. Is it worth the money I pay each month? To me it is because of the products. It's cheaper than a Doba membership.

One of the best marketing systems I use is PlugIn ProfitThis site allows me to advertise all my profit making sites, comes with a free site setup, 30 days of training, and my own domain name.
