If you want to make extra money you have to be involved in network marketing (direct selling)

Robert Kiyosaki said that “the network marketing and direct sales industry is recognized by many to be the fastest-growing business model in the world today. It is also the most controversial. Many people still have a negative reaction, claiming that many network marketing organizations are pyramid schemes. Yet in reality, the biggest pyramid scheme in the world is the traditional business corporation, with one person at the top and all the workers below”

Think about that for a moment. In a traditional Company, a sales manager and the person under him are hired by the company. The company is limited to the number of people that the sales manager can hire based on the financial resources the company has to pay salaries and on the traffic that any sales manager can handle. As soon as the sales manager is overwhelmed the company can hire another manager or convert any of those under him as new sales manager. This is the way that expands the organization horizontally as compared to Multi Level Marketing which expands the organization vertically.

Robert Kiyosaki said that: “We are not members of any one network marketing or direct marketing business, but we do speak favorably of the industry. People who want to be entrepreneurs should consider joining one of these businesses before they quit their jobs. Why? Many of these companies provide essential sales, business-building, and leadership skills not found anywhere else. One of the most valuable benefits from associating with a reputable organization is that it teaches the mind-set as well as the courage required to become an entrepreneur. You will also become more familiar with the systems required to build a successful business. The entry fee is typically quite reasonable and the education can be priceless”

I heard him say that if he were starting his entrepreneurial career all over again, he would start with a network marketing or direct sales business, not for the money but for the real world business training he could receive.

So now the question is: What is Direct Selling or Network Marketing?

It’s Simple

It’s the business of word-of mouth. And, whether you realize it or not, you are already in it- you just aren’t getting paid for it. Let’s face it, when you tell a friend that they have to go see a new movie, and they do, does the director or studio send you a commission check for your referral? When you recommend a great restaurant to a friend, and they go there on your recommendation, do you get your next meal free?

Owning your own direct selling business allows you to capitalize on something you already do and take advantage of one of the best kept secrets of the wealthy and happy: “passive” or "residual” wealth. To understand this concept, look at the example of a writer. The writer sits down, works for weeks, months, even years on a manuscript. The final product is produced and sold. And although writers may get paid an advance or a small fee, the real money comes from the royalties. They work incredibly hard for a short time, then sit back and collect the royalties. It’s usually a small percentage of the sales price or a fixed price per book or ticket sold.
