Have you tried joining a networking business before?

There are a lot of people joining networking business now a days. My friends are always telling me to join them, they are also telling me that they are getting good money out of their business. Do you think these things are true? I saw one of them getting money from the bank, he was holding a $700 check. I was able to get this in 2 weeks, that was he told me. I saw all the product he has and the way their company moves. I can't convince myself that I'll get a money like that. My parents hated networking business. How about you people?

I've tried once through the effort of a friend. And yes it is true a lot of people are really making good in networking and I've meet and had seen their paychecks. However, to be successful you have to believe in your products and really work hard for it. Most vital factor is your convincing power to make people believe in you and have them work under you. And this is what I lack hence I know I will not make it in this field.

I think if you're part of this business you will need lots of support form your group and from the company. If you're new, you have to attend training everyday or at least the company should have an online training for the people who can't attend the office training. I met this company this year, and now I'm planning to join them. The products are wonderful and I'm using them for a month now. I felt a lot of changes after using their products from US, and I trust the company. I know joining them and doing business with them is really hard and I can see that. But we also have to enjoy to what we are doing, we have to make goals.

I see. My parents now started with their business and they attend their seminars everyday. I like the way poplee treat them as their new member, they are now one month old but they have a lot of friends who joined them already. We are not planning to just sell the products. One of my aunt is a living proof that she was able to get another chance to live after the bone marrow transplant. That was three years ago, and we have seen how the doctors reacted with the products, but then they tried it with my aunt, oh, my aunt has blood cancer stage four. She is now part of the company. She's also a doctor and she was very hesistant to use the products, but there was no chance left, her blood counts dropping, her donors can't go with the transplant because their health isn't good too. I can't even believe that my aunt started using these products, after 1 month, she went back to her personal doctor in US to continue with the transplant. Every test went well and she was able to get a go signal for the transplant. So, that's the main reason why my parents started with the product, it's not sbout business, its about health reasons abd we all want to share it with others.

actually i am a member of one now but i don't recruit and sell. i am using the product and it helped me of my various discomforts and i opted to be a member to avail of the membership discount. I'm not good at selling and convincing people hence, my membership is only for being a user of their products.

Networking: translation:---- selling. you are actually the companies' salesperson not just of their products but their company and affiliate program as well so you really have to do a lot of active selling. Networking is not for all people... (playing basketball can make you a millionaire but not everyone does) Do a lot of research first. see if the company is for you don't just buy into the hype. You see the checks but you may not know the amount of con...vincing they had to do to sell those products.

My grandparents is part of this kind of business and right now they are really making a lot of money. They are not even using their cash to buy their groceries because their company provides for their needs. They're part of the company's pioneer and right now they want us to learn how to run the business and they gave us a lot of tips on how to be successful. A month ago my father joined their company and after a few weeks he was able to have 4,000 people under him. I don't know how did he do it but he told me to attend their seminar to learn. My father is not good in business but after learning how to run the business that started only below $700, he earned more than 4M points, correction not thousand but 4 million. Now my grand parents are telling me to try their produts and join their company too.

well then that is an advantage you have. :) you should make full use of it, because like I said it is selling and though your father might not be good at business it is different than selling since selling is just one aspect of running a business.

I am not a seller so that would not be for me . I see people saying they make money from it but no one I know and I cant sell either . DO they charge to sign up ? I know some do and that is another thing that dont appeal to me .

I'm not a seller too, but I tried to try te product and it makes me feel comfortable by detoxifying. I eat a lot and I love to try new foods. Yu have to learn how to do the business people doesn't know that when you join a networking business you have to attend their seminars to know about the business and to learn about their products. When it comes to their products, you have to use some their products too to know what your body will feel, or effects of the products.

I have joined 3 times already. And it is always good at the start. later on, your earings will be smaller and recruitment will e harder. Most of the time, the ones who started the networking business will gone and you will nto be able to contact them. oftentimes they end up with all the money. I am my colleagues actually sued one of owner of one of the networking business we joined. We invested money with them and the business was about phone cards. Initially we get 10% interest every month, then after months, they ran away with our money. I am not saying that all networking business are bad. I just hope you be careful. make sure you know what you are getting into. The easier it is to earn money I am betting it will be riskier.

I see, but we really need to be careful about joining a business. My grand parents started the business I want to join in. The computer is now eight years and they are now globally working. They we're able to conquer asia now.

I think some people just have the luck to succeed in networking. I'd been into networking, paid some money in real life, and that's it. I am never able to make it grow as I do no have the time to be recruiting people. So the money I paid for sign up goes down the drain.

If you're not active and you don't take care of your business you will not see your money working. Networking business, is a real business but you have to sacrifice a lot of things and your family should be involved too. When you have this type of business, it's like you've purchased the whole company.Why? you can now see how they work, how the company moves and that's a franchise in your part. You can get products for a discount.

Actually, our company will open an office in your country next month and they are looking for people from India who wants to make the business successful in your place. I know some people don't like this type of business but this company I know is different from all of them. You can even reimburse from them after a hospitalization, they give you free training every day. And they are giving support to every one who needs it.

Networking businesses can really make you a lot of money, but I think two things are crucial in order to succeed - the product and your work attitude. It would really be hard to convince people to join your network if the product isn't that salable. Worse if there's no product at all. That would most likely be some sort of a Ponzi scheme. On the other hand, even if your product is good but you're not exerting real effort, then I don't think you'd earn a lot. I'm actually part of a networking group for like 3 years already, but lately I've been a bit lazy :) I'm just content on getting a small but decent amount from the sales of my downlines. $700 is very attainable. I know of people making thrice that.

I'm happy to see people who has a positive thinking about networking business here. At least I'm also learning from you here. I also want to join, actually my aunts are part of networking business and the also want me to learn. They are the one who opened our Hongkong and Hawaii office. They are part of the pioneers of the company. I like the way their company moves and their new products. The company is more than 8 years old now and my aunts are working for them for 6-7 years now. I would love to share what I learned from them, though to other networking companies, I doubt them. But this company? I really believe in them. Though, this company prioritizes Filipino people, and foreigners are welcome too.

We have joined before but that does not become successful. we don't get the money back. It was really a failure so from now on, I swear not to join any networking sites again. I know there are exceptions to anything but I would like hard earned money than easy money. That's why instead of looking for easy money, I just make my own online shop and create beautiful crochet products.

In our business, after paying for the money they will give you scholarships, free medical card in Makati, here in the Philippines. You will get some products to start with and insurance. We have 3 kinds of insurance available. That's why my family joined. The company works 8 years in our industry so I really trust them. It's a money back guarantee.

I have joined several networking business on food supplement but I guess this business is not for me. I had only joined because I use the products but I'm not good in recruiting down lines. There is really big money when we are good in recruiting. I'm not good a it so the network stopped in my end. Those who were with me in the other networking businesses that I joined contacted me to join another one. They come to my office, send text messages to me, and even called me, I was annoyed so I changed my number in order to evade them.

If you start in this business you have to start inside your house hold. Do the business with your family, some of them may not like it but you have to introduce it to them. Me, after 3 or 5 years of rejecting my aunts offers to be with their company, now that I've seen them again made me realize that I have to be with my family. They have been working for that company for 6 years now and they're one of the pioneers. I liked their products, coz I'm using it right now though I'm not yet part of them but my aunts and my parents wants me to learn the business. Unlike other companies, this one is different. When I try to join other networking business and listen to their business meetings, I always look at my watch and I can't wait for them to finish but when I met this certain company, every time they have online training, I always give time to watch them for 6 hours, straight.

I have joines so many networking before and wasted money. All of them promised a very good income. But in joining them you really have to exert time and effort because I saw some members who succeed in that kind business.

When you join this type of business, you really have to use a lot of time and effort, you can't get easy money form here, you have to work for it. But first, you need support from the people who invited you. And after you learned you still have to stick with them to run the business properly.
