Network Marketing - Who's in it?, discussion... pros and cons Options

[Jeunesse]

Just curious, what's your take on Network Marketing or Multi-level marketing or direct sales if you want to call it nicely?
I know Robert Kuyisake author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Donald Trump endorses network marketing but what's your opinion about it? Is it a good start for a part-time home business? What do you think are the pros and cons.

yes, but when a company is starting they hire as much as they need, and as they grow bigger they hire more. Network marketing has trainings too on how you could sell your product and on how you could talk to people and become your associate. You just need to go out there and attend those trainings and seminars. No offense to your belief forkee, what you're saying is true and typical, but the way I see it is if you don't do anything don't expect network marketing to work for you. If you just sit there and wait for your invested money to grow then nothing will happen. "New Hires" as what you call them are not paying fee to be employed in network marketing but are paying to invest money on their OWN home business.

[/quote]does the company you're thinking about going into require any type of resume? any related work experience? any business degree? or do they just want money? and when you go out and select people to work under you, are you going to find people that have experience being a vice president, or manager, or supervisor, are u going to require some degree? or are you just going to hire them on the basis that they have start up money and share the "go get 'em!" attitude.

Do you require resume when you invest money to open your own business? Do you need work related experience when you invest your money to open your business? Do you need any business degree in investing money? yes, they need your money when you invest it to open your own business. When you go out and select people in network marketing, you're giving them a chance to start their own business and do what they want with it, they don't need to have experience being a vp, manager, etc etc. Ask any business owners, any business owners out there, what was needed to start their own business and the answer is always start up money.

I think you and I are on a different page here. You're treating network marketing as getting employed under your upline but I'm seeing it as investing and starting my own.
