Have you been invited to a seminar by a friend or relatives? I bet you do. And then when you got to the place you realized you've been kidnapped or tricked. Probably this happens to you if you're first time to see the concept.
The term "Network Marketing" or "Multilevel Marketing" becoming an optional sources of income. In view of this many people shift the paradigm and people get to realize the side of becoming an entrepreneur from an employee mindset.
To be honest when I first attend this kind of business back in 2009. One of my high school friend invited me. He travel from manila to our province in Laguna just to open that business opportunity. My first impression was wow he looks very different since we're just messing around in school. He looks good right now and poised.
From being a shy student and now very professional.. Wow!
That's why I also started doing network marketing business.
So here's the list of reaction that you probably felt during a first time seminar.
Here's probably on your mind:
1. Wow! this is great I can make profit out of it and I think I can do this.
2. Goodness seems hard it's not in my personality.
3. Oh here we go again another hard time inviting people.
4. Hmm. My friend will just profit on me. I probably think again.
5. I feel ashamed to my "Tita" or Auntie if I'll refused.
6. Oh I don't have that kind of money to start. There's no way I can do this.
7. I think might find a way to start this business.
8. Oh this is a scam.
But here's the point probably not for so many has the same result as the others are doing when they started the business. The following factors could be so many.
It might depend on their work ethic, passion, discipline and drive to succeed.
Plus the secret technic and strategy..
But I want to feature here a friend of mine who did great in the business.
I have a classmate from high school who finished up Education degree who was invited few months ago in one reputable company. I can say she's a new blood in the business but I saw her passion in marketing the products and ability to engage with people. The last time I talk to her she mentioned receiving her check.

Network marketing could be so burning for the old people in the industry who only found themselves hard time getting the income they wanted.
Ask me it's difficult to do the old style of inviting, traveling to many places burning your pocket money when there is an effective way to gather hundreds and thousand of client asking for your business.
Ok I'm gonna share you what I did to attract the right people asking me about my old business and I'm sure it will not surprise you..
1. A video presentation from YouTube. 2012 when I joined that company I thought of creating a simple clear and straight ot the point presentation about the business. You can watch that presentation on my FB page that drives a lot of people on my network.

2. Once you do a presentation you can create a page on Facebook. This is still effective today if you ask me. You can drive your viewers in YouTube to that page.
These are just the two ways of marketing your business. There's still so many ways.
Like setting up your own blog is another way of driving your client also.
My view in Network Marketing is a big training field of rejection, Personal development and learning. Money is just the result of learning the right things.
People come and go in this industry. Even myself started on 2009 up to now took different kind of company and industry. In the past I failed also because the companies I joined in shut down and bankrupt..
That leads me on other traditional venture business, investment, insurance industry. But what I learn from it is a big bonus that money couldn't buy.
After Network Marketing experience here's what I noticed.
1. Level of confidence when approaching people to another opportunity even not MLM.
2. The different feeling in earning a pay check or salary and people who earn profits and checks.
3. Drive to succeed and make their living brighter.
4. When I shifted to another industry I'm already self driven. Even I didn't get the six figure income.
5. Other people learn to put up their own traditional business like computer shops and retail merchandise. It is because they learned how to sell.
6. The experience made them bunch of connection that help them on their next venture.

These people I knew did have different background and educational level. But I think also MLM is not for everyone. Due to beliefs, old pattern behavior and passion to do the business.
Before you try joining in one of these company try investigating and see how it fits you. It's not a quick rich scheme. And it take time to build one.
But here's my last note my friend whether you tried Network Marketing or not. You'll get your self soon in the same concept of Network Marketing at some point and you do connection and meeting up with people, you might start your own business and do marketing yourself.
You might need business skills like selling, negotiating etc. In essence Network Marketing is one good training ground to set up a traditional venture or doing business online. If these business will teach you how to do right business ethic and skills you probably on the right track.
