What is Network Marketing?

It seems like an easy question, but when you stop to think about it could you really give an accurate description of what network marketing is? If you were asked this question right now how would you answer it? Would you say, "It's a business where you recruit people and then they recruit more people", or could you really give someone a concise answer?

To be honest . . .

the reason why I am writing this article is because, although I have been an active network marketer for over two years, I doubt my own ability to answer this question without stumbling over my words.

According to "Network Marketing for Dummies" By Zig Ziglar and John P Hayes here is the full concise definition of network marketing (p. 2):

Network Marketing is a system for distributing goods and services through networks of thousands of independent salespeople, or distributors. The distributors earn money by selling goods and services and also recruiting and sponsoring other salespeople who become part of their downline, or sales organizations. Distributors earn monthly commissions or bonuses on the sales revenue generated by their downline.

Now that's the technical definition, but I want to ask you a question . . .

What is network marketing to you?

Here's what it is to me . . .

It's the most powerful wealth creation vehicle on the planet. It's the gold rush of the 21st century. It's a powerful life changer. It's hard. It's frustrating at time. It's a roadmap to financial freedom. It's a character builder.

I guess when you sum it all up, network marketing is simply GREAT!
