Why You Should Consider Network Marketing for Extra Income in Today's Economy

This shop girl recently opened her own shop via a network marketing business because the unemployment rates were so high, I had few other options. Here are a few reasons I think everyone should take a 2nd look at network marketing during this economy.

Part I of a 2-Part Series 
In early 2011, The Tennessean carried an article called: "Out of work, some invest time, savings in franchises." This article focused on the problems a significant number of Americans are facing as they find themselves losing their jobs to cut-backs, layoffs, business closures, and outsourcing. The writer described the pros and cons of buying a franchise along with the following advice: “Jumping into business by buying a franchise doesn’t come without risks, though. Costs can run from $20,000 to several hundred thousand dollars to get started. And not all franchise parent companies offer their offspring the same level of marketing, back-office and sales support.” This is why a growing number of Americans are now taking a good, hard look at network marketing opportunities.

 This article was inspired by my bad experience this past Christmas when this shop girl was scammed at a "charity" event and provides some tips on how to protect yourself and your business from scams and con artists:

The only thing I did right on the front end was to decline to just drop off books.
