NETWORK MARKETING CAN CURB UNEMPLOYMENT

Network Marketing (NM) is a lucrative business that should be embraced by not only job seekers but also people who want to make additional income in their free time. Network marketing is not about hawking products of a company as some people think. It is about telling your friends, colleagues, or relatives about the goodness of a product or service of a company. This can be done by telephone, sms or email. I have always advised people to join companies that specialize in a variety of products people use. Such products include washing and cleaning products, products for cleaning household items. Other products may include laundry, bathing and body care, food supplements, herbals and agricultural inputs. As long as people continue to exist, such products will be on demand. I have seen young people in their senior six vacation turning into millionaires through network marketing. I have also seen university students retiring on the graduation day. They retire after generating millions of money through network marketing while at campus.
There are several benefits in network marketing business. People become their own boss as the network business is a personal business. There is also financial freedom since people accumulate millions of money in just few years, thereby making it possible to meet all financial needs. The issue of robbing Peter to pay Paul does not arise if one is in the network marketing business. All members in the network team get monetary benefits from the contribution of the whole team in respect of network building. This business provides solutions to employees whose meager salaries cannot afford them to meet basic necessities of life. Employees can do this business in their free time such as weekend and other public holidays. As you become more advanced in the business, a good network marketing company pays you leadership and training bonus.
Non-monetary benefits include sponsored travels to some of the most beautiful and prestigious cities of the world. In such places, people meet and interact with other successful business men and women across the globe. There are free training sessions in which everyone is encouraged to share their success stories with group members. People learn communication skills and confidence building techniques. A lot of time is at ones disposal to plan and invest the accumulated money. The list of the benefits in network business marketing is endless. Not all network marketing companies can offer all these benefits. One should carefully identify a network marketing company that offers a variety of benefits.
The good news is that some Ugandans have started embracing this venture. In the near future, it will be shameful for one to complain of lack of employment. Network marketing, if embraced, can absorb all people interested in work. It is a business for all people regardless of their background or status. I have seen professional managers, engineers, medical doctors, university professors, former housemaids, security guards and waitresses give testimonies of how network marketing business has improved their lives.
Some people express uncertainty about the reputation and credibility of network marketing business companies. It is easy to ascertain whether a network company is serious about offering opportunities to people. The number of years such a company has been in business and how wide it has spread across countries reveal its impeccable quality of services or products. It is wise to join a company that has existed for over 50 years or a company that has spread in many countries. The profile of its founders and transparency in conducting business play a big role. By attending some training sessions you are able to make an informed decision before joining a network marketing company.
