No Hassle Network Marketing: Why Network Marketing?

Why Network Marketing?

There are a variety of reasons people are interested in network marketing, direct sales, and multi-level marketing:

Start a business
Change careers
Work from home
Improve quality of life
Provide additional family income
Buy products they like at wholesale prices
Recommend products they like to others
Receive personal recognition and encouragement

Network marketing has been around for more than 100-years. The industry was pioneered by J.R. Watkins’ company in 1868 and has changed tremendously since the 1950’s when two friends formed Amway in a western Michigan community and started selling their flagship L.O.C. (Liquid Organic Cleaner) product door-to-door.

Although network marketing is a low cost business opportunity with low barriers to entry (you can enroll as a distributor in most companies for $30-$40 or even less), you don’t earn any money until products are sold. Finding the right network marketing opportunity takes some foresight, marketing savvy, and finesse.

About Me

Welcome to my web page.

Like many, I dabbled in network marketing for many years with some inconsistent success.

I would jump in and jump out of each new opportunity that came along hoping that each new one was the one. If this sounds familar, don't feel badly. There's a problem with MLM that has been created by some of it's biggest and most successful distributors.

In a previous opportunity, my sponsor was extremely successful - seemingly overnight. Her quick success actually discouraged rather than encouraged me because it actually seemed effortless. I convinced myself that I would never be able to duplicate her efforts. To make a long story short, she was far from an overnight success. She actually spent 15 years in the industry putting in solid, consistent, hard work and effort. She was actually part of the upper 2% of networkers that we all aspire to become, but she didn't sell herself that way. Instead, she chose hype over substance and that is why I and many others are no longer active in her company.

I've decided to take a different approach in my new opportunity. I'm taking a realistic approach to building a network. I'm building a network for (with) the rest of us.

Earn Money with Jerky Direct

I am an independent distributor with Jerky Direct. The company offers products that are a natural fit for bbq contests. It combines natural meat products, direct sales, and the power of leverage through network marketing to provide an income opportunity for those that choose to participate.

To become a distributor, it's simple -- enroll as a distributor on their website and place a $12 order for two bags of jerky to be shipped direct-your-doorstep each month. Each $12 twin-pack autoshipment (plus shipping) carries a $5 commission. The company pays a 20% commission on all retail sales made from your website and a 5% commission on all wholesale sales on your first level. It's as simple as that.

I can't promise results for everyone, but it's working for me. Any income projection above is just that, a projection only, and not a guarantee of income, individual results may vary.
