Networking businesses have exploded. In our city alone, i believe there are about 6 big networking companies. I joined one, and i believe it can give me an income more than i can ever dream of if i just work that hard to accomplish my goal. It requires that you recruit a lot of people and pair them up for you to be able obtain an income. Retailing, marketing and many other ways of earning is available if you join a network. I hope i'm right in joining one. What can you say about networking?

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well glad to know that u have joined a networking business and i wish u all the very best for your new venture. i think very honestly, we should give a deaf ear to whatever is happening around u and should focus completely on your work. If u think about other such companies then u will never get that confidence to work properly, so u give the best input from your side and the output will always be good. What say?

I think the network business are not save and most times the price will be high and one can get commission only when the product gets sold. After few days sometimes the product cannot get sold due to the high price.

I joined world's largest networking company but I am sad to say that I was fail. I worked hard for being successful but could not have enjoy the earnings of the system. Now I have decided that I shall never be a part of any MLN or networking company.

I am sure you have done an extensive research on the company you are joining. I have joined once so i can just please a friend and ask him to stop bugging me. oh well then, what happened ws after getting the membership card, i was left nowhere. and i was not helped how i can improve and get people to join my downline. Perhaps i am not really made for sales. =P

Or maybe the person who recruited you is a jerk. A network cannot work properly without cooperation from it's members. My upline has been encouraging me a lot and asks me to join seminars and training regarding recruitment processes and presentaion of the network and its products.

Hi, In my experience, networking here is s scam. People get to recruit other people until the pyramid get too high until it can't support itself and ends up in shambles. I still have to see one scheme that really worked for me.

Networking business is very rampant nowadays and I myself was a "victim" of it. I don't mean that it is not good o safe because not all networking business is like that. It is just I was not really good in doing it. So be careful in choosing networking business and if you join such business you have to study well on how to do it and you must have a very good convincing power.

Hi joining a networking business is good but make sure that you are joining a good networking company that have a track record of fulfilling it's promise to its members and that they have a product that can really sell, not just to fellow members because of points. There are a lot of networking businesses that sprouted for the past years because of demand for that elusive "passive income." Some of these companies opened with a blast and silently faded when they have already saturated the market. Some have thrived and are doing good business. Goodluck to your chosen business.

I think network marketing is not good and not everyone is very successful in network business. I think only few people are success in network business. Lots of people have lost money through network marketing.

You go way back in your history books.. There has always been networks; if you knew or was related to someone important you were more likely to know lots of people; gaining popularity and power.. Networking these days is on a world wide scale; and instant communication.. I am not sure about any one networking business but you should do some research on those businesses.. Like you did here ask actual people their opinions; then make your decisions with the conculsion of what you have learned..

Since a lot of competition is now going on, you should choose wisely which among them is worth joining in. Most important to consider are the products and their effectiveness. It will be better if you have already tried the products and proven effective. Once you have proven it, then it will be easier to share it to other people. The next thing to consider is the marketing plan. But networking businesses have almost similar marketing plan, so you have again to choose which is the best. Products should not be too expensive as well as the membership fee. Yes, you can earn good amount in networking business only if you are good in persuading and explaining the use and advantages of your products and business. But nowadays, networking business has no good impression for most people because a lot of them had been failed to achieve the luxury life that most of them promise. Well, just study the products and marketing plan well, be active and you will most probably succeed. It will need a lot of hard work anyway. So good luck!

Networking Business is one of the growing one in this days. We must do a lot of research before joining with any online or offline networking business. Since networking involves in recruiting other persons. We must know about the details and real information of the business very well before inviting other persons to our network. Some networking sites and business requires some investment and some others accept the free members and want to expand the circle. We can join with the free business without hesitation. But try your maximum to invest your money in this kind of business without proper knowledge. If you are good in networking and had a good knowledge about the business as well as have the ability to refer a lot of persons in your down line, have faith and trust with the company you can invest your money, otherwise don't invest anything with this kind of business. Networking business is one of the good way to make a good residual income. But we must need some knowledge and experience to shine in this field. There is nothing wrong in giving a free try with it using the sites which allows you to create free account and paying money for recruiting members. Be careful while investing your own money. It is not easy to convince others to join with your network. You are in need to show a lot of proof and give more details about your work to gain network members. Be aware about the business fully and read out all the rules and guidelines before promoting your business to others. If you are sincere and do your work with full involvement and dedication, surely you will earn a good income from networking business based on your activities.

I think it's a safe investment. In the long run it will eventually pay off. But you have to work hard in the beginning though. The business has an unlimited potential. You can earn up to 24,000 pesos a day maximum. I heard a lot of people who have become millionaire through networking. The best iv'e heard so far is the Alliance In Motion. AIM in short. It's a global networking business that has survived for 6 years now in the Philippines.

Its not all negative, business opportunities like this encourage people to have a sense of hope and give them energy that they still can.. no age, no handicap or degrees required. although it is not entirely good, because some tend to find loopholes and abuse it, i still think it gives more hope and encouragement that failures.
