The following is great post by a dear friend Susan graves form the Ryze Network.
Susan always has great direction

Corporate America VS Network Marketing
Susan Graves

Okay yes Network Marketing is part of corporate America as far as needing CEO, VP's and people to fill our orders and support us.

But if you have not tried to get hired by Corporate America lately you may not realize what they put you through.

What you have to do to work for Coporate America?

Send a Resume, get interviewed by several differnet peoplein the company already, and then fill out some paper work:

1.Fill out a form with all your past employment history (yes, they have your resume, but they need it hand written on their form)
2.List all the addresses of places you have ever lived
3.List all schools and training you have taken
4.List all organizations you belong
5.List all other activities you enjoyProvide 3-5 references
6.Provide 2-3 relatives for emergency notification
7.Take a drug test - all applicants are guilty of taking drugs unless then prove other wise. (I thought in America we were innocent unless proven guilty)
8.Pass a criminal background check
9.Pass a credit check
10.Take an OSHA test (100 questions)
11.Agree to wait 3-4 weeks for a pay check, they are not responsible for delayed mail or problems with payroll
12.Take a sexual harrassment test
13.Take a physical
14.Pass eye examine
15.List your spouse and dependents
16.Agree to dress code
17.Agree to hours they will decide and can change do to work load, you will be required to work overtime with no previous notice
18.After you do all the above they will determine your payand start date
19.Agree to work where ever they send you(oh some places require a pint of blood also)

What you have to do to work for Network Marketing:(visit post" How to Chose Company")
Find a product you love
Find a sponsor you can work with and learn from
Agree to the companies policies and procedures
Fill out form to join business
The pay plan is provided up front
Sell products and receive your income at the time of sale
Commission is sent usually monthy soemtimes weekly depending on the business - but you have retail sales as you make the sale
Start a few minutes after you sign up
Work your hours
Dress code - well wearing clothes is a good idea, but if you are comforable working in your bathing suit and you get customers - I don't think you will get many complaints, wearing a business suit will be a good idea in certain situations but you are an adult use your judgement

Humm....I guess corporate America makes you wear shoes too and I hate wearing shoes..(I was offered a part time contract with corporate America after they sent me a large Fedex box of paper to fill out.
I became really sorry I ever considered the job.
Its been a long time and I did not know it was so much work just to get on their payroll.)

Here are some good Comments from a fellow Marketer , Dave Cottrell.

Dave & I share an Affinity to Realtionship Marketing.
It that Premise that allows our Businesses
to grow consistently. Also we are in Control of
our Outcome but using affiliate programs to our
advantage, not someone elses.

I'm sure, if you're like me, you're always conscious about the cost of doing business online.
The fact is, if you're spending more than you're making, you're losing money, and that's not wise!
Some say that you have to prime the pump in order to get water, but as a farm-raised boy, I have to say, if you keep on pouring water down the pump, and your arm's falling off from pumping that handle, and yet no water's coming out of the pipe, maybe you should save your water before you run out and check to see if the pump is actually working!

I'm always on the lookout for things that bring more business my way, that don't drain my wallet, and that actually have an affiliate program to offset my expenses. In most cases, when you need something, you can find it with an affiliate program, and can quickly get your money back if you tell people about it.

The best kind of product to tell people about is one you use yourself!

Why would YOU buy anything from someone who hasn't actually tried the product?
It might be junk!

It seems these days that everyone keeps hopping on board with the latest, greatest, make-you-rich-overnight-with-no-work affiliate program, but most people don't even try the products or services they're marketing, so they don't even know if they're worth buying in the first place!On the flip side, many people who are serious about building a real business keep on buying the same junk, based on the hype on the sales page, without asking anyone they know if they've actually tried the product!

Who cares if Sam G from Austen says it's the greatest thing he's ever seen?
What does it matter is Susan P from Toledo tried it and had her sales double in 48 hours?

Who ARE these people??

What I want to know when I'm reading your ad is will it do for me what it says it will do?

Have YOU, personally, tried it, and did it work for you?

If I send you an email and ask you what you think of it, are you going to be able to truthfully tell me you've tried it, are you going to lie to me, or will you simply ignore me, because you're too afraid to admit that you're marketing something you're not willing to try yourself?As buyer first, then an affiliate, you are actually trying a product that you can truthfully speak about from experience.

As a gold member, of EverythingForSuccess, for example, I can truthfully tell people just how good the program is and why I'm still a gold member after more than a year.

Do you think this works?
You bet it does!

But if you're not willing to buy the product, yourself, what makes you think anyone else will?
It doesn't matter HOW great the hype is on the sales page - if it doesn't sell you, it certainly isn't going to sell anyone else, either!

All you're doing by becoming a free affiliate is driving the parent site's rankings up, making it more likely that someone doing a search engine search is going to find THAT site (not your affiliate site) and make the purchase there, rather than on your affiliate site.The very best way to make sales online and off is to tell people about a product or service you use, have paid money for, and are happy with!

Stop trying to sell stuff you don't value enough to pay for!

You'll always fail that way.Look for what interests you, find what you want, make sure it has a good affiliate program, find out what others you can really ask have to say about it, and pay for it! Then you can share your very powerful sales message from your own experience, and begin to actually make some money....

Amen to that Dave,
