Network Marketing-as I see it----

Networking is a word misunderstood at the outset---can mean computer network or Network Marketing. I first got into Network marketing in 1984 while I was in USA, in Portland ,Oregon. Saw not too many do well in it--but too many failed badly and messed up their lives, seemingly gambling away their careers and other activities in the bargain. The successful ones confided always that luck was the main factor in such business--luck in having the clean,ethical and mature upline , who does follow the rules--practices what he or she preaches. Can be compared to Life Insurance in India--one cannot change ones agent--even if he/she is not doing what was promised.Try to checkout on upline before joining Network Marketing--nobody will ever give you this advice. I myself made the same mistake in April 2008--joined blindly and did not check up on my upline--and ended up with a year's wasted efforts. Any network marketing business is more or less the same---except for this one point to keep in mind.Look for a decent and honest person with repute---look for someone mature in age and does not believe in pushing and insulting people around just for feeling big and powerful--such people succeed to some extent ,but make a network of dejected and disappointed downlines--who would have otherwise done very well with a good leader. Be also aware of leaders who use it as a front for laundering money or engaging in other illegal dealings . Choose an honest leader--it pays in the long run--just sweet talk is not enough. Bluffs and lies are rampant ,leaving the sincere new joiner in a rut--or just stops doing the business.
