Q. Isn't Network Marketing just another "get-rich-quick" scheme?
A. No, "get-rich-quick" is a fairy tale. It just doesn't happen in the real world. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but they're extremely rare. In fact, if overnight riches are your dream, your odds are probably better playing the lottery than doing it in business--any business.

Q. I couldn't get involved in Network Marketing. It's not a "real" business.
A. It's very real. Network Marketing is now a multi-billion dollar industry involving millions of independent business people and major U.S. corporations like Colgate-Palmolive, Gillette, Sprint, and MCI, just to name a few. And it's a rapidly growing international force, too, with thousands of Network Marketing companies already in operation in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Basin.

Q. If Network Marketing is so great, why aren't more people involved?
A. That can be summed up in one word: misconceptions. The general public just doesn't understand what Network Marketing is or it's potential. But that's finally starting to change. Right now it's estimated that only about 2% of the US population is involved in Network Marketing. But industry experts predict that the number could climb to 10% by the end of this decade. You can position yourself to take advantage of this trend by getting started in Network Marketing now. The timing is great for getting involved!

Q. What are the costs involved in starting and operating this kind of business?
A. Virtually all Network Marketing companies require you to first purchase some kind of "Starter Kit". This is a one-time cost, and is usually less that $100. In addition, of course, you'll have monthly expenses for office supplies, postage, advertising, etc. A total of $50 - $150 dollars per month is probably a realistic expenditure to expect. Anyone can afford this amount of money without jeopardizing their current lifestyle while they're trying to build a better one. And here's some more good news--most, if not all of that is tax deductible.

Q. What if I can't afford to buy extra products?
A. You're not supposed to. Network Marketing companies just want you to replace those products you now buy elsewhere with the equivalent-but-higher-quality products your Network Marketing company manufactures. By doing so, you'll likely save money since you now get to buy at wholesale. Plus, it only makes sense to buy from yourself--to buy from "your own store".

Q. I've tried Network Marketing before and it didn't work for me.
A., Let's say you've just moved into a new city and you decide to go out and eat that evening. Unfortunately, the food at the restaurant you picked turned out to be horrible. But just because of this one bad experience, you surely wouldn't swear off eating at all the other restaurants in the city, would you? Of course not! Network Marketing is no different. There are fair Network Marketing companies, great Network Marketing companies, and yes, even some bad Network Marketing companies. But Network Marketing works! You just need to link up with the right company.

Q. I don't have the cash right now to get involved in Network Marketing.
A. Get it! If a brand new $60,000 Mercedes were offered to you for $100, would you find the money somehow to buy it? Go and get the money because your own Network Marketing business could be worth a lot more than that Mercedes.

Q. I can see how others have become successful, but I don't think I could do it.
A. People of every age, every background, from every walk of life are making it in Network Marketing today. If you have the desire, you can succeed in Network Marketing.

Q. If I would happen to be sponsored by someone half way across the country, how do I get questions answered? and what about training?
A. Free consultation and assistance from your sponsor, other support line associates (and often the corporate staff of your Network Marketing company) is a phone call away. Faxes, E-mail, Voice Mail, and other new technologies also provide fast and efficient communications between support line and success line no matter where they're located. As for long-distance training, this is easily handled through video training tapes, audio-tape seminars, books, online computer and telephone conferences, etc.

Q. I just don't have the time to start a Network Marketing business. I've got too many irons in the fire already.
A. That's precisely why you should consider Network Marketing. Besides creating financial freedom, Network Marketing is specifically designed to create personal freedom for you so that you can do all the things in life you really want to do that you don't have time for now.
