All of this sounds good, doesn’t it? But wait a minute, let’s take a look at downside.

1. Maybe you don’t want to work at home. 2. To be successful you must work, so you have to be a self-starter. 3. Your income is virtually unlimited but you are not guaranteed any income at all. 4. You will probably have to invest some money. Maybe $50 to $500. 5. Some start off making money but for most it takes at least a few months for money to begin to come in. 6. To really make a lot of money you must be willing to commit to a minimum of 2 to 5 years in this business.

Okay, you have seen some pros and cons about network marketing. Like any other endeavor success you achieve depends on how much you want it. If you are willing to give focused effort, commitment and persistence you have potential to reach any level of success you desire. It is not unreasonable to expect, with these qualities, within a few years to create a residual, walk-away from, income for rest of your life. There is no other business I know of where this can be done without investing a large amount of money. And in Network Marketing you don’t have to buy a franchise, rent a building, hire help and deal with payroll taxes. It’s a simple, proven way to make money and is wave of future. ******************************************* Vernon Brabham is a semi-retired Optometrist and a long-time Entrepreneur with an avid interest in Network Marketing.

2. Market Development: It is most important to understand your market before embarking on development of your product. If you customers are not fully understood, you may develop a product that few people want, or create a resource that isn’t profitable. This should be determined at initial stages of project. After your market is understood, focus resources on creating a product to suit market. However, be sure that you continually update your understanding of your market. When nearing completion of development phase of project, start allocating resources into development of market tools. If this is an online product, then creation of an effective web site is necessary. Develop sales tools necessary to sell product, and create a step by step plan on how you will sell this product to your customers.

3. Beta Testing: Upon completion of development stage of project, look for ways to beta test product in your chosen market. You may choose a limited product release, or partner with some target customers in order to get feedback on product. Beta Testing is effective in determining whether product needs to be modified. It is also a great way to get initial testimonials to be used in future marketing.

4. Product Release: Release product for sale. That means begin distributing product to customers, selling online, promoting through sales people, and implementing your marketing plan. This phase is ongoing through life of product and is where success of your initial investment is measured.

Through appropriate planning and resource allocation, your product can effectively be introduced into marketplace with exceptional results and outstanding profits.
