This piece by John Venezia would save people a whole lot of money, time, emotion and energy spent on a company that hasn’t stood the test.  This totally omitts brand new companies pushing, in their sales pitch, “Ground Floor Opportunity.”  What do they say when the company is 3 or more years old?  It is actually better to join a company a couple years after it has been established.

Top 10 Ways to Choose a Great Network Marketing Opportunity
There are a few network marketing opportunities that are just scams. There are far more that may be well-intentioned, but have a poor track record, for any number of reasons. So how do you separate the wheat from the chaff? Here are ten tips to help you pick the right network marketing opportunity for you.

1. Has the company been around for at least 5 years?
If you want the efforts you put in today to pay off for many years in the future, choose a company that has proven that it will be around for the long term. 90% of all network marketing companies FAIL within their first 2 years. You don’t want to invest your precious time and resources (not to mention your future) in something that may not be in business next month, do you?
2. Is the company well capitalized?
In other words, does it have the cash that it will need to grow, to maintain a solid infrastructure, to attract talented management, to keep pace with technology — and, of course, to pay your commissions! (I prefer publicly traded companies because they’re required to disclose their financial condition in DETAIL every 90 days to the SEC and other governmental agencies. You may not be able to obtain this information on a private company, so you’ll be taking a risk on its financial condition.)
3. Does the company offer products or services that are unique?
That is, they’re not readily available elsewhere (especially at a discount) and they’re not just another “me too” product that has loads of competition.
4. Is there a genuine need for the product or service?
You’ve probably heard horror stories about people ending up with a garage full of expensive water filters – the reason that happens is because only other distributors will purchase the product at that price! Your product or service must fill a REAL need at a fair price – and there should be a large untapped market for it. In other words, it MUST provide tremendous value, so the customer is the biggest winner.
5. Is the product or service trendy or a fad?
You can’t build long term residual income (i.e., your retirement!) if the product or service only has short term appeal (e.g., beany babies, etc.). Think long term instead. Is the product or service something that your customers will continue to use for a long time?
6. Can you generate immediate income?
So that you can finance your marketing and expansion efforts from cash flow.
7. Does the marketing system take full advantage of technology?
Not everyone is a sales type, but ANYBODY can plug into a system and tools that do the selling and sorting for you!

willing to learn) you WILL succeed. There’s a big difference between a “sponsor” and a “recruiter.” A sponsor coaches. motivates and trains and a recruiter just signs people up and in most cases, abandons them.
9. Is there a way to build your business part-time without losing your full time income?
The company must have automated systems that can do the heavy lifting (i.e., selling and sorting) for you so that you can use your limited time efficiently.
10. Will you have FUN?
Although this may not be an element of your current JOB, we think it’s important! You should have a lot of fun with your business partners while you work together to build a long term business and your financial army.
So there you have it — ten criteria for selecting a superior network marketing opportunity. Of course, even with a great company, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. You WILL have to work! But, with the right opportunity (unlike your job), it won’t have to be forever!

Update: The launch of The Attraction Marketer’s Manifesto was a huge success, along with Renegade Professional! Thanks to all who participated.

You may have never heard of Mike Klingler before, but what I am about to share with you about him will potentially change your life by way of how you market your business online.  When Ann Sieg launched her very successful system with her new book The Renegade Network Marketer, there were a few areas that the Renegade system didn’t cover.  It essentially gives you all the tools, but not the training on how to use them.

This is where Mike Klingler comes in.  Mike has been an internet marketer for 15 years prior to coming accross Ann Sieg’s Renegade network marketer system.  He personally sponsored over 4,000 distributors in his Network Marketing company using online methods.  When Mike had learned about the Renegade System, he was very excited that Ann had made this tool available to the masses.

Because Mike specializes in coaching people, he decided to create a training program for those who found it difficult to understand how to use the principles taugh in the Renegade System.  So, he created Renegade University.  It has become the #1 training site for internet markters.

Mike has most recently co-sponsored the soon to be launched “Renegade Professional” with Ann Sieg-which I might add is expected to revolutionize the internet marketing industry.  If you want to know more about the launch and how you can take advantage of it, just download the free e-book The Attraction Marketers Manifesto.  Once you opt in, your e-mail will be on a list of subscribers who will be alerted once it launches.  I believe it is set to launch on March 25th.

There are many people who have purchased Ann Sieg’s The Renegade Network Marketer, who are new to internet marketing, and may be experiencing the “Fire Hose” affect due to an abundance of resources and marketing tools available to learn how to use.  I have heard people say it can be overwhelming because they don’t kow where to start or how to put the pieces together.  Sometimes people aren’t aware that there is a Network Marketing education internet based learning curve that must take place before a person can implement the various resources that The Renegade System offers.

Both the 90 Day Marketer and Renegade University have, as their objective, a system designed to help Renegade System users become more schooled/educated in learning how to master the the Renegade Marketing methods.  I am a member of both Renegade University and 90 Da Marketer.  I believe that the 90 Day Marketer is the training wheels for beginners who need to gain a better foundation on how this whole internet marketing things works.

The 90 Day Marketer is the program I recommend to all who are looking for an easy education for how to use The Renegade Network Marketer in generating leads for their own Network Marketing company.  Here is why:

• The 90 Day Marketer is only a one time fee of $124

• The 90 Day Marketer has over 70 video tutorials with many more in production.  Now, one of the things I like more about the 90 Day Marketer’s video tutorials is the way they are presented.  McKay Earl, creator of 90 Day Marketer, is extremely easy to listen to.  He uses picture analogies in the tutorials so as to make what he is teaching sink in more or make it easier to remember.

• The 90 Day Marketer is extremely easy to navigate.  The navigation tabs provide you with the ability to quickly find what you are searching for.

• The 90 Day Marketer is set up as an affiliate program which means you make commission when you refer others to using it.  It has a “back end affiliates” area, like the Renegade System, which allows you to generate multiple streams of income from those you refer to using this system.

• The 90 Day Marketer provides it’s users with affiliate banners and links for you blog or website, as well as free videos for you to “embed” into your site or blog(See example below).

• The 90 Day Marketer began as a 90 day course with step by step instructions, separated by weeks(i.e week1, wee2) and starts you out at the most simple and basic internet learning, such as definitions of word like “cookies” or “affiliates” so that when you move forward, you are not confused as to the new language of the internet.  It is so simple and easy that even a child could learn how to do these things.

Bravo on a Job Well Done!
			McKay Earl has created a fantastic follow up training system to provide to his Renegade affiliates.  I am so impressed with the depth and scope of what McKay has laid out for the end user.  McKay’s training helps make The Renegade System extremely user friendly.  It’s essentially a “Renegade System Training for Dummies” with step by step guidance to navigate a newbie from A to Z.   The Renegade can be overwhelming for a lot of folks because of how much information there is for people to digest and assimilate.  McKay has removed all challenges for his affiliates with this outstanding training. Bravo on a job well done!  What will be exciting to see are the results your affiliates will get by virtue of you going the extra mile on their behalf. Ann Sieg The Renegade Network Marketer

Ann Sieg calls the 90 Day Marketer, essentially, a “Renegade System training for Dummies.”  I totally agree with her.  The 90 Day Marketer is the best program out there for newbies seeking to learn how to use The Renegade system more easily, and as the Renegade System is more techie, and not as newby friendly, the 90 Day Marketer brings it down to Earth for the beginner, and keeps it interesting for the veteran.

Take a test drive through the 90 Day Marketer and enjoy some Free videos.
