| For many entrepreneurs, starting a business on their own is a complex and expensive project, full of many unknowns. It´s why more people succeed who purchase a franchise – the systems are set, the marketing is in place and it´s more like a “paint by number” business.
Network marketing is very similar to a micro-franchise. One of the reasons there is a lower level of success in network marketing is because the price tag to join is often below $100. With such a small investment, it´s easy to not take it seriously or work it like you would a $250,000 franchise.
However, the systems are in place, the support is available and the products are tried and true. You can make significant money in network marketing, providing you are willing to work it like a business, rather than a hobby.
I support Plexus Pink, a network marketing company dedicated to breast health for women around the world. For a period of several months in 2008, I was part of the corporate team, serving as President of the company for a term. Check out www.plexuspink.com/janjanzen. They have also launched a weight loss product called Plexus Slim as women who are overweight are at a higher risk of breast cancer.
