I'm not sure about quest international personally... but before joining any opportunity you should ask yourself about the opportunity.\n\nIs there an actual product? (or are you just pushing the membership and training information)\n\nIf yes, can the product stand on it's own? (If the business opportunity weren't attached, would you still purchase the product(s)?)\n\nAre they competatively priced? (Is the product worth the cost? Often times mlm's offer products that are more expensive because of the compensation plan connected to the business)\n\nIs there a need for the product? (Will people purchase it one time or repetitively... what is the potential for sales?)\n\nWhat type of training or support is available? (Are you gonna have to "figure it out" on your own? Many times once you've enrolled your upline is on to the next prospect...Will they be there to help you reach your goals?)\n\nDoes the company actually manufacture the products or are they reselling some other companies products? (Are they lisenced to do so?)\n\nWhat type of information is available to you to promote this product?  (Is the information credible?)\n\nDo the products stand up to the claims? (Patented, approved, tested?)\n\nWhat happens if you decide "this is not for you"? (will you be stuck with a garage full of product, or can you return them?)\n\nWhat about the cost of getting started? (Will the company refund your money if you can't do what is required to make money?)\n\nHave other people actually made money with the opportunity? (Are you able to speak with others who are working the business?  Are they credible?)\n\nPersonally I work with an Inc 500 Company with excellent credentials that can respond to all of these questions, POSITIVELY!.  If you would like more information on how I have been able to suppliment my income from home you can contact me through my Yahoo 360 page.  NO... this is NOT get rich quick scheme... it is a very reputable company that has shown increases in all of it's 20 years.

I don't know anything about them, but when I tried to do a search on them, I kept getting "This page cannot be displayed".  That worried me.  What type of products do they sell?  Network marketing in and of itself is very legal and potentially very lucrative...if you're willing to work. They are not get rich quick schemes.  I work for a very wonderful, very well established (26 years), exploding network marketing company called Arbonne International. Network marketing is a method of distribution that a company uses to get their products from the manufacturer to the consumer without all the middlemen (wholesaler, warehouser, advertiser and retailer). Because of this, they can put more money into research and development, and pay they consultants handsomely for their "word of mouth" advertising. \n\nArbonne has health & wellness products for every member of the family...things that people buy from the store everyday, thus the products are consumable, and that's a VERY important point when looking at network marketing companies. Our products are pure, safe and beneficial, are botanically based, contain no mineral oil, chemical dyes or fragrances, no animal products or by-products, have never been tested on animals, are pH correct, hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested.\n\nThe opportunity with Arbonne is HUGE, and we aren't even global, yet (will be in the next few years...then LOOK OUT!)\n\nCheck out the sites below, and contact me if you'd like more information. You really owe it to yourself to take a look at Arbonne.\n\nGood luck!

Marketing is any kind of interaction with current or potential customers. It is, essentially, positioning yourself in the market. So every time someone calls customer service, their interaction with the person who answers the phone is part of your marketing -- it helps them decide whether or not they'll do business with you, or keep doing business with you. That phone call helps to position you as better or worse than your competition.\n\n(Have your doubts? Look at the ratings done in every computer magazine about which company currently offers the best customer service. The top companies in those lists are surely selling more computers as a result of being at the top.)\n\nAdvertising is part of marketing. PR work is part. Even the bills you send out are part of your marketing, because it is an interaction with a customer. You can literally use a bill to thank your customer, to cross-sell with coupons, to offer rewards, etc.

Marketing is not a waste.\n\nImagine you are running a trading business. And everyone around you is selling something that customers are fed up of. You want to know what the customers would like to have as alternative. right ? or would you sell the same thing that others are already selling? This is called market research in Marketing terminology.\n\nOnce you have the right prodcut. You have to inform your customers what a wonderful prodcut you have, right ? Otherwise they would not know it. This is the communications part.\n\nNow imagine what you sell is a seasonal prodcut and if it not sold fully within a particular period this would be dead stock in your godown and you would not get money to buy your next stock plus you incur charges for maintaining stock. SO you would want to push the whole stock before the seasons ends, right ? We use so many methods for this and the most simple way is to give more than others are giving.. So you give some promo items free or reduce prices etc. ( This is Promotion part)\n\nNow imagine your prodcut is electronic item used in business,  customers would immediate service support for that you want a service team right that is polite and resolves issues at lowest turnaround time right ? That is Customer support.\n\nNow imagine you have a brand like Black and Decker or philips. And a similar prodcut like yours made in China costs just two dollars while yours costs dollar four. Even though both of you buy from the same same manufacturer. You earn two dollars more for a piece and still sell better than the other guy. IS that not great ? ( that is why we do branding)\n\nI can keep on writing more like this.........\nRead my blog :www.mullassery.blogsource.com if you want more info.

"gnphyd" ~\n\nBoth types of businesses offer their own unique advantages, but it sounds to me like you’d benefit most from the less traditional path of network marketing. Here’s why I think so:\n\n- A network marketing business costs far less to start than a traditional one\n- A network marketing business may enable you, after a few years of diligent work (typically 1 to 3) to retire from your current vocation and work a less demanding schedule, freeing you up for family-time and other important time pursuits\n- A network marketing business can provide residual income (instead of hours-for-dollars income). This type of income is rarely obtainable with a traditional business, without a huge up-front investment.\n- A network marketing business may even enable you to work almost entirely from home\n\nThe real key is wisely choosing a worthwhile opportunity (and there are a few). Only sufficient information will enable you to do this.\n\nThe greatest need of anyone interested in building a truly stable, residual income in network marketing is to equip himself with pure, practical information…of the kind that will provide measurable, long-term benefits ~ like the ability to avoid being scammed by any of the fake or poorly-constructed “opportunities,” that could cost a fortune in time and/or money.\n\nThough they definitely serve a purpose, it’s important to know that on-line forums like this one are ultimately not going to provide you this degree of extremely useful info. You have to dig a bit deeper for the real worthwhile info!\n\nCarlos Whitfield\nContributing Editor, MLM the Whole Truth

Pyramids are illegal and network marketing is a great way to do business.\n\nPyramids... are generally set up so that there is more emphasis on the business opportunity, training and seminars, $$$ for the "Upline". Usually the only people who make any $$$ are those who got in first.... those on the bottom do most of the work with very little returns for their efforts. (AND one can't say this often enough...THEY ARE ILLEGAL!!!!!)\n\nNetworkmarketing on the other hand: We are  all networking... we have always done it from the time we could talk.  If Sally asked you where you got your lunch box, you advertised for K-mart or where ever mom and dad bought it for you.  As adults we refer people to every profession:  doctors, mechanics, hair salons... or even refer people to a particular STORE like Target or the Macy's THEN tell them which PRODUCT to buy which could come from Proctor and Gamble or Microsoft.  We will never stop networking, it's a part of life.\n\nHope this helps

Multi-Level Marketing. Amway is the most famous. The idea is that you buy products from somebody, and then convince somebody else to sell them for you while you take a percentage. I looked into it once, and found it to be a cumbersome system of people selling themselves household goods, but it did seem to work for a couple people. Most people seem to avoid it though...

All these are same which is branching from direct selling industry,MLM is the traditional and the most succesful plan untill now, which produce most of the millionaires in the industry. Network marketing is actually same with mlm but since they defined them as building business Network(horizontally and not vertically), thus they claimed them as Network marketing company, under Network Markeitng company registration, you won't be tied by the MLM law, this is the most obvious differences and the funny thing. Binary is mlm with a plan which emphasize on 2 operation groups of downlines only, Binary was banned at the starting of mlm history because it run as a scheme and unstable(because you only hv 2 shops mah), but after creative innovation and the new limitation by the binary company on the plan, the binary company now won't facing bancruptcy like 1980's did. \nAmong all, mlm is better...... because after years of improvement, it can graded as stable business and the plan is more rewarded compare with other.

The Bottom Line About Multilevel Marketing Plans\n\nMultilevel or "network" marketing plans are a way of selling goods or services through distributors. These plans typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you'll receive commissions - for your sales and those of the people you recruit to become distributors. These recruits sometimes are referred to as your "downline." \n\nSome multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. However, others are illegal pyramid schemes. In pyramids, commissions are based on the number of distributors recruited. Most of the product sales are made to these distributors - not to consumers in general. The underlying goods and services, which vary from vitamins to car leases, serve only to make the schemes look legitimate. \n\nJoining a pyramid is risky because the vast majority of participants lose money to pay for the rewards of a lucky few. Most people end up with nothing to show for their money except the expensive products or marketing materials they're pressured to buy. \n\nIf you're thinking about joining what appears to be a legitimate multilevel marketing plan, take time to learn about the plan. What's the company's track record? What products does it sell? Does it sell products to the public-at-large? Does it have the evidence to back up the claims it makes about its product? Is the product competitively priced? Is it likely to appeal to a large customer base? How much is the investment to join the plan? Is there a minimum monthly sales commitment to earn a commission? Will you be required to recruit new distributors to earn your commission?\n\nBe skeptical if a distributor tells you that for the price of a "start-up kit" of inventory and sales literature - and sometimes a commitment to sell a specific amount of the product or service each month - you'll be on the road to riches. Often consumers spend a lot of money to "build their business" by participating in training programs, buying sales leads or purchasing the products themselves. Too often, these purchases are all they ever see for their investments. \n\nYour Responsibilities\nIf you decide to become a distributor, you are legally responsible for the claims you make about the company, its product and the business opportunities it offers. That applies even if you're repeating claims you read in a company brochure or advertising flyer. The Federal Trade Commission advises you to verify the research behind any claims about a product's performance before repeating those claims to a potential customer. \n\nIn addition, if you solicit new distributors, you are responsible for the claims you make about a distributor's earnings potential. Be sure to represent the opportunity honestly and avoid making unrealistic promises. If those promises fall through, remember that you could be held liable. \n\nEvaluating a Plan\nThe FTC suggests that you use common sense when evaluating a multilevel marketing opportunity and consider these tips as you make your decision: \n\nAvoid any plan that includes commissions for recruiting additional distributors. It may be an illegal pyramid. \n\nBeware of plans that ask new distributors to purchase expensive products and marketing materials. These plans may be pyramids in disguise. \n\nBe cautious of plans that claim you will make money through continued growth of your downline, that is, the number of distributors you recruit. \n\nBeware of plans that claim to sell miracle products or promise enormous earnings. Ask the promoter to substantiate claims. \n\nBeware of shills - "decoy" references paid by a plan's promoter to lie about their earnings through the plan. \n\nDon't pay or sign any contracts in an "opportunity meeting" or any other pressure-filled situation. Insist on taking your time to think over your decision. Talk it over with a family member, friend, accountant or lawyer. \n\nDo your homew

Dunn and Bradstreet would be a good place to start. First, buy a list of companies that are in the business of network marketing. Next, go to Experian or Equifax and buy a list of people employed at those companies.

Wait... "the Net and Network Marketing"?? Catch-22?? \n\nThose two should go together, hand-in-glove. And yet, Network Marketers have struggled to realize the near-infinite networking, lead-generating potential of the Web.\n\nHow can that be? \n\nNetwork Marketing (sometimes called "Multi-Level Marketing" or "MLM" or “Two Level Affiliate”) is all about... \n\n* recruiting/lead generation/relationship-building \n* sales conversion \n* ongoing consumption \n* replicating yourself through downline motivation and training. \n\nHow in the world could the Internet not be the best thing since sliced bread for Network Marketers? Because it's being done, all wrong, by all the wrong people. \n\nThere's no need to push (i.e., chase cold calls/prospects) when you can motivate potential customers and business-builders to pull (i.e., they want to call you to learn more).\n\nHere's how to Put The Net Back Into NETwork Marketing  http://www.mlm.wotsnext.com \n\nOr check out their new video tour http://www.sbivideo.wotsnext.com

The term network marketing is used in two ways. In popular usage it is a synonym for multi-level marketing and often mistakenly considered the same as a pyramid scheme.\n\nWithin marketing it is used to describe a marketing paradigm that stresses the interconnectedness of market actors and transactions. It can be seen as the application of systems thinking to marketing. According to network marketing theory other marketing paradigms see the discipline as consisting primarily of dyadic relationships (ie., one buyer and one seller). Network marketing wishes to overcome this limitation by looking at transactions and relationships from the viewpoint of all those involved. This perspective originated in industrial marketing, also called b-2-b marketing, where multiple contact points are typical. It is not uncommon, for example, to have several decision makers in a company's "buying centre". Likewise, the marketer can be organized into a "selling team". With multiple actors on each side of the transaction, a complex network is created. This is further complicated by corollary actors like information gatekeepers, influencers, advertisers, and intermediaries. This network can expand over time as more people get involved. This approach sees marketing as a system of social networks where the relations between each of the links must be understood, including potential feedback loops, while at the same time, the system must be comprehended as a whole.

To get paid! \n\nSince most people do Network Marketing anyway, why not get paid for it? When you tell a friend about a good movie or an especially good restaurant do they send you a check? You sent them the business, why don't they reward you? Well in Network Marketing they do.
