Is Network Marketing A Scam? An Honest Review Of This Controversial Industry

If you have been wanting to work from home for a while you’ve probably taken a good look at network marketing. But what’s hard about trying to get information about this industry is that everyone seems to have very different opinions about network marketing, if it works and if it’s really even legal. So I set out to write an article about the truth about network marketing. There is no sales pitch here and I have no agenda other than letting the truth be out there. So here goes…

Network marketing is a simple and completely legal form of business. It pretty much works like this. You have a product that you market and while you’re doing that you’re also building a team of more people who want to market that product. By building a team of people who are marketing the products for you, they make money and you make money.

This all sounds simple enough so why do so many people believe that network marketing is a scam. I believe it’s for two reasons.

The first reason is that it costs money to get started in almost all network marketing companies. This causes a whole lot of confusion for people who are use to having jobs. A home based business like network marketing is just that… a business. It’s not a job and that’s where the confusion really lies I believe. Jobs don’t cost money to start, but businesses do. So if you are going to be involved in network marketing you need to be aware of the fact that you’re going to be starting your own business.

The second thing that is hard for some people to deal with is that network marketing is almost completely driven by commission. Commissions from the products you sell and commissions from bringing people into the business with you. So if you’re not working you’re not going to make any money. Unlike a job where you can show up, do very little and still get paid. (at least for a while before they fire you! )

So when you combine those two things, the fact that you have to pay to get started and the fact that your success is not guaranteed if you don’t work, people tend to get confused and call it a scam. But it’s really not at all.

In fact if you are looking for a way to make money from home and have an unlimited income there is no better way of doing that then network marketing.
