Being a Beachbody Coach and working the business, I often come across many people that have negative preconceived  notions about network marketing or multi level marketing (MLM) businesses. I’m not exactly sure why, but I get the, “Its one of those pyramid scams things” comments a lot.  For the opened minded individuals who are willing to give network marketing a closer look, they’ll see some great advantages that few other businesses opportunities offer.

Network marketing companies have a system in place. A system for those who join the business can follow to be successful. People need to remember that they are joining a real business and treat it like a real business. It is not uncommon for  new startup businesses to not not make a profit for at least 2 years. Why would a network marketing company be any different? Because the startup costs of most network marketing companies are typically low, you should be in profit much sooner than if starting your own business from scratch, but don’t give up if after 1-6 months you have not made any money or are barely breaking even. It takes time to build a customers base and get a team growing.

When franchises first came popular in the early to mid 1900′s many people were skeptical and saw them as scams. People would say things like, “Why would I pay to use your name?, I’ll just use my own”, or “Why would I give you a percentage of my profits?” Network marketing companies are similar in that way, people overlook or clearly don’t see the benefits the company is giving them by being a part of their company.

Just as franchises have become very popular, network marketing is also gaining momentum and continues to grow each year in the number of people operating a home based business. And this is not just in the United States, this is worldwide.
