Today I want to talk about some of the most common questions that network marketers will face when out prospecting. Sometimes these are the questions that really hit hard on them and make them wonder if network marketing is really for them or not. So here goes…
Networking marketing has become an increasingly popular form of earning extra income or of establishing an addition income stream. However, many people aren’t sure whether or not network marketing is the right choice for them. They have some important questions about the opportunity. If you’re one of those people, then you’ll find some answers to those tough questions below.
Can I Really Make Money from This?
The answer is yes. Many people have made money from network marketing. However, there are a good number of folks who do not make anything from the experience. The difference between the two groups comes down to expectations and efforts.
If you realize that most people do not become millionaires through network marketing, you’ll be more likely to be satisfied with the revenue you’re earning through your part in the program. Also, the more effort you put into the network marketing the bigger the returns you will see. Don’t expect to join and be showered by cash for doing nothing.
Do I Need to Do Sales?
Generally, you won’t need to do any selling. You can let the web site or other materials do all of the selling for you. However, you may need to make some efforts to get more people to join your down line so that you can increase your financial possibilities.
Is This a Pyramid Scam?
No. A pyramid scam is illegal. Network marketing is completely legal. A pyramid scam involves taking money from individuals and funneling those funds into the pockets of people at the upper levels. Each level keeps making money until the people at the bottom lose everything they invested. Pyramid schemes are not business opportunities – they are ways to rip off people in much the same way that phishing schemes and Nigerian scam emails are doing today.
Network marketing, on the other hand, is a legitimate way for people to make money. Each person who joins has an equal chance of earning money by recruiting more individuals and by selling the products. The only people who lose are the ones who do not put forth any effort to succeed.
Who do I Need to Approach to Join my Business? My Friends? My Family?
You can approach almost anyone to join your business. Generally, your friends and family members will be your first targets but you’ll do better if you attempt to broaden your focus. For example, you could establish a web site and use it to sign up new members to your down line or to advertise the products. By approaching people from all over the Internet, you will stand a better chance of achieving success in network marketing.
Do I Need to Spend a Lot of Time?
The amount of time you devote to your network marketing efforts is completely up to you. You may need to spend a little more time at the beginning in order to establish yourself and your recruitment techniques. After you get started, however, your network marketing can probably run on auto-pilot.

You have definately laid out good answers to some of the most common questions asked about network marketing. My personal favorite response is to “is this a pyramid scheme?” is to ask them back a question like “what do you mean pyramid scheme, what do you define as a pyramid scheme?” More often then not, they don’t really know what one even is.
