Work-life balance. Baby boomers (40-55year olds) are searching for quality of life. Despite promises this is not usually found behind desk in a corporate office. The large corporate incomes usually come at some expense to spouse, children and friends who also contribute through sacrifice of quality time, family memories and missing parents. The importance of building a life - not just earn a living; demands a new way of earning income.

Lack of job security. As a senior HR manager turned MLMer I can testify from first hand experience: higher you are in corporate world, harder you fall when you are retrenched. Don't be beguiled by six figure incomes of corporate giants. The larger your job, more rare they are and finding a new one can take more than twelve months. Job insecurity plagues all levels and most people are searching for diversified forms of retirement planning. A solid MLM opportunity can do just that.

Flexible hours - choose your own! Because a network marketing business can be built around an existing schedule, it is a perfect vehicle for busy professionals to get started in developing an alternate income stream. Once established business can provide a residual income that can release you from job market altogether.

A trend towards an aging society. Many people are looking ahead and realizing that government hand-outs will not be sufficient security for retirement. In several western countries number of retirees are increasing a greater rate than number of workers entering workforce. In these countries, there is a diminishing pot of funds available to fund retirees. Network marketing offers a residual income stream that can continue long after people have stopped working.

The power of e-commerce. Income streams from a few hundred to tens of thousands per month can be built over internet. It is possible to combine internet marketing skills and work your network marketing business entirely over internet. There is almost unlimited potential in combining both viral and network marketing business principles to quickly build a solid, residual income stream.

When considering a MLM opportunity, your diligent research may lead you to a vehicle to provide income AND lifestyle!

business if they don't have a business, right?

Wouldn't it make sense to offer other products to benefit

them? Maybe you don't write e-books about how to market on

the internet, but other people do. Why not offer some of

those at your website to entice your visitors?

If they purchase an e-book today and learn how, where and

what to market, don't you think they'll return to your

website and order *your* software that will now help them

automate their brand new business?

Makes sense, doesn't it? Having your own product is great.

But offering other helpful resources to your customers

builds your sales even more. You'll make money from

e-book, then from your own product. Two sales to a visitor

who almost left!

Offering products and resources that compliment your own

products makes your website an invaluable resource for your

customers.

This is why so many internet marketers say you *need*

multiple streams of income. There are those who swear by

it. And maybe they're right.
