Interested in Network Marketing, But How Do I Choose the Right Company for Me?

Let me Share My Affiliate Portfolio and explain what I look for and why I chose these particular companies…

When looking for businesses to align myself with, I look at a list of things. Then, if it qualifies, I then get to know the people behind the company…the founders… the owners.

Criteria I look for:

  1. Quality of Product Line
  2. Company Compensation Plan
  3. People behind the company
  4. Financial Backing
  5. Training/Resources Available
  6. Type of Technology used
  7. Correct timing in the life of the company
  8. How the Network is structured

I believe there are several businesses that if one has the skills and the tools to succeed, they certainly can create income. Skills that are quite important are: Communication skills, having contacts that trust you or ways to create contacts that you can develop a rapport with.  If one focuses on their particular skills and finds their niche, then success is more likely. Skills can be learned and aligning ourselves with others that are experts can be a true asset! When you work as a group, all putting forth the best talent you possess, it is quite fulfilling.

Companies that are currently in expediential growth and have huge potential for years of residual income due to the concept, the people behind it and the ability to market successfully are out there right now. The following are fairly new to the scene, so one can position themselves well within the program and also be assured of proper financial support.

One networking company that is wise to take a closer look at is The Trump Network. Why? It ranks high with the above criteria and Donald Trump states publicly that he intends to go global and create the leading network company on the planet. Donald Trump breaking into the Network world also confirms what other financial experts have been saying, such as Robert Kiyosaki, that networking companies are a legitimate and often smart way to increase income streams. Trump also intends to have a massive PR campaign in just about all media streams. His product concept is brilliant and associates with only the best of the best products available in a particular market.

Shopbest.com is an incredible technology and concept. As people are more and more familiar with rewards programs and more people shop online this technology is useful, easy to use, convenient, saves shoppers money and creates income. Like Google or Yahoo, this is a toolbar that is downloaded for FREE – however, it has a true value for shoppers. This company is global and is currently in 50 countries. The shopper shops as they usually do online, yet now accrues points that turn into cash. There are several shopping services at Shopbest that make shopping easier and give you an opportunity to upgrade to create income more quickly. One accrues points from shopping themselves and from others as well. The business model is simple: share free shopping toolbar downloads to others.

The world of retail is moving away from the traditional advertising and more toward word of mouth, referral programs, and person to person contact. We will see even more network companies, more referral programs and affiliate programs because of this trend. People don’t want to be sold, as they want someone they trust to recommend a product, service or experience. The best way to purchase is to know that someone else experienced it, liked it and recommends it for you. Now the other important part of the equation is the trustworthiness of the communicator. Network marketing is at it’s peak when individuals are honest, upfront and transparent with their experience with the company and the products, have a good knowledge of the product and is somehow an asset to be in business with. But that’s another topic for another day!
