One Step 4 Income, or OSI, is what I like to refer to as a great network business opportunity.

What do I mean by "network business opportunity"? I mean that it is not only a program where you can build a downline and make money, but also a program where you can make innumerable contacts with other entrepreneurial-minded individuals.

Briefly, OSI uses a concept it calls Reverse Universal Marketing. It permits your prospects to join the opportunity for free. No upfront fees. No pressure. No risk.

Members can then build their downlines before making a monetary commitment.

This concept is powerful and should not be underestimated. In an industry full of scams and hype, too many people have spent their money based on emotion drummed up from vague splash pages that don't fully explain the program or business they are getting involved in. Once they get burned a couple of times, they will be reluctant to repeat the cycle. However, with OSI, all that risk has been eliminated.

The result, as you can imagine, is that you can build a sizeable downline in a short amount of time.

I have made several great contacts along the way. People that have shared invaluable marketing tips, and shared other opportunities with me. And we've made some money with OSI in addition to all that.

So that is what I mean by OSI being a network business opportunity. Not everybody has a myspace page, and last time I checked, email still works as a mode of communication. You never know who you might encounter that will change your life.
