The top network marketing company in 2012 is the one that’s been around the longest, is number two in worldwide sales and has been growing at a clip of more than 10% per year even during the recession. The top network marketing company is Amway.

When you have the world’s top selling dietary supplements in Nutrilite, a top 5 prestige skin care brand in Artistry, one of the top 5 best selling energy drinks and the highest rated cleaning products and detergents, you know you’re doing something right. Add on some high quality personal care and home care products along with dozens of brand name partner stores, and it’s little wonder that Amway did $9.2 billion in sales in 2010 and is projected to do $10.5 billion in sales in 2011.

As great and as in-demand as their products are, there’s even more to like about the Amway business opportunity. The compensation plan is the most lucrative in the industry, and it’s built to reward even the newest person with bonuses and healthy monthly income checks as long as the new business owner completes a few simple steps to lay the foundation for their business.

Amway supports its Independent Business Owners (IBO’s) with global advertising campaigns through several mediums like TV, Print, Internet marketing and more. They continue to innovate with product development, social media participation and improving their business opportunity to be unmatched within the industry.

I highly recommend taking a good look at the Amway business opportunity before you consider any other network marketing company by doing some research and talking to an informed IBO, such as myself.

I think you’ll see why starting an Amway network marketing business is becoming so popular among ambitious online entrepreneurs like yourself:

I’m sorry to break the news to the veterans out there, but prospects these days, especially in North America, are too skeptical and distrustful to let you get away with the “curiosity approach,” which was very flawed and dishonest in the first place in my humble opinion.

You see, by not disclosing vital information to a prospect such as the actual company you’re affiliated with that provides the business opportunity you are offering to this person, you are by default being dishonest with them.

Be that as it may, it worked to some degree for many years, at least on the vulnerable and the naive. Now, most people want to know everything right off the bat and which network marketing company you’re working with, and frankly, they have every right to.

Why not disclose your network marketing company to a prospect? Are you ashamed of your business? Are you worried they’re going to do a Google search on your company and run into a bunch of negative websites? Well they might just do that, and once again, they have every right to, but it’s your obligation to be open and honest with them from the start, and they can make the decision from then on what to believe and what not to.

I can’t stand when network marketers try to dance around the issue of what company they’re in. And by the way, even though you’re not an employee and it is your own business, you are “in” your network marketing company, whether you like it or not. The faster you accept this the faster you’ll grow.

The major driving force behind people still wanting to use the old-school approach is not only wanting to withhold information from the prospect, but also because they have little to no interest in selling their network marketing companies’ products. They only want to recruit and sponsor. Needless to say, this is an awful approach to building a true, balanced network marketing business.

Selling products should be the first thing you learn to do as a network marketing business owner. You are in direct sales after all. Only after you learn about your products, learn some sales skills and demonstrate your ability to make a consistent, significant profit by selling your products should you venture out and attempt to sponsor some other opportunity seekers who you wish to train to do the same.

If you attack your business with this mindset, you will have no choice but to lead with your products and your company name. You will actually be happy to do this after a while. Believe me, it’s much easier than having to dance around the issue and play games with your prospect.

Proudly proclaim the network marketing company you’re in, lead with products, sell, and then sponsor. This is the correct process for a profitable, long-term network marketing business. You will gain people’s trust, make more money earlier on in your career, and people will actually come to you wanting to do what you do, which is selling quality, exclusive products at a reasonable price and then teaching others to do the same.

Let’s be real here. There’s only so much that can be said and so many tips on building a successful network marketing business that can be given before virtually every topic and strategy has been covered. Sure, things are always changing, and new information and motivational writing is always in demand. But for the most part, it’s all been said before and now it’s just a matter of presenting the information in a different way to reach and affect the most amount of people possible.

That’s why Pro Network Marketing has started to include posts about not only our network marketing company and their high quality products, but also about things closely related to network marketing like self development and personal growth. This is reflected in the decision to start the brand new Self Development Shop, which is an e commerce store that will be debuting in the next couple weeks. It will feature products for success in business and life. They will mostly consist of ebooks, audio books, audio training and software.

So while Pro Network Marketing will continue to be your leading source of fresh information and advice on building a successful network marketing business, my goal is to also to provide true and accurate information about my network marketing company, their many products that can positively impact your life, and information about the upcoming Self Development Shop and the plethora of products provided there that will hopefully lift you to whatever financial and personal goals you have set for yourself.

Look for this and other brand new, interesting topics of discussion on this network marketing blog in the future. Trust me, we are just getting started.

If I were you, I’d get out immediately, or if you’re considering joining one of these scam companies, put it out of your mind completely right this minute. After all, you don’t want to be involved with something illegal do you?

I know what you’re thinking. If I can make some money with it, even if it is illegal, and I don’t get caught or get in any sort of trouble, then I don’t care if it is an illegal pyramid scheme. Hey I’m with you. As long as it’s not hurting anybody (which it is by the way), then no harm no foul right? Wrong.

First off, there’s a 99.9% chance you won’t make significant money in one of these recruitment-based pyramid schemes. Secondly, it is actually against the law, and there’s always the chance the FTC could step in and shut down the company. Thirdly, even if the company isn’t shut down, it will collapse by itself before too long, because the recruiting will inevitably dry up and since no product is being retailed…goodbye sham network marketing company.

As far as I know, there’s only one company that actually has retailing rules and standards in place that comply with the FTC, and that’s Amway. And those rules are a good thing, because it means that distributors are able to make more money, have lifelong businesses and sponsor more people into a legitimate business opportunity, as you make money first, and then show others how they can do the same, rather than selling some high-hope, pie-in-the-sky recruitment idea that never seems to go anywhere.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Amway is the only network marketing company or home bases business that you should be considering. They have no real competition and their products have no equal in the marketplace. Their compensation plan is the best, they are compliant with the Better Business Bureau and the FTC, and they are the only network marketing company that actually creates networks of salespeople rather than networks of other recruiters, with the exception of Avon.

Amway is a legitimate network marketing company. It’s ironic, because most of the negative garbage slung at the MLM/network marketing industry is thrown directly at Amway. It’s true, they’ve been guilty in the past of looking the other way at some of the high level distributors who’ve taken advantage of tools and business support materials in the past, but those days are over, and this corporation has literally nothing to hide or to be ashamed of. They are the cream of the crop in the network marketing industry. They have been since they started, and they always will be.

If you are looking to join a legitimate, solid, established, credible network marketing company that won’t go about of business in 3 years or not pay your bonus check that you earned last month, then join Amway. If you want to join a recruitment pyramid scheme that only generates income by signing up new distributors and couldn’t care less about the quality or value of their products, let alone your well-being, then join one of those other network marketing companies. The choice is up to you.

All I know is, starting a home business through Amway is the best decision I’ve ever made, and it will likely be the best decision you’ve ever made too. If you don’t like it, you have 180 days to get your money back. (It’s less than $200 anyway) Heck, if you don’t like one of their products, you have 180 days to return it for a full refund as well. There is no other company like this on the planet. Start an Amway business or sample some high quality products by using the link below:

So many people are turning to direct sales and network marketing these days to start a business and work from home, and I commend those people who are taking the risk and looking to stretch themselves and work towards some new exciting goals. But my main message today is towards those people that already run a network marketing business.

If you haven’t seen the success you’ve wanted to see so far, or if you haven’t reached your goals, then now is as good of a time as ever to recharge your batteries and start anew. I don’t necessarily mean finding a new opportunity or company to switch to, but to maybe reassess your situation.

Evaluate where you are and where you see yourself going in your network marketing company in the near future and long-term. If you don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, then maybe it really is time to consider a change to a company that better fits your needs and gives you a chance to succeed.

More than likely though, it’s time to sharpen your skills, learn a few basic, simple, duplicatable methods to market your business and products, and recommit to making 2011 the year that your network marketing business takes off. We are entering quite possibly the most interesting era in the history of the network marketing industry. Now is no time to give up or even let up.

Get back on track, go full force and watch the rewards of your efforts come to pass. You won’t have to sustain your marketing and promotional work for that long, trust me. Just exert a short burst of letting people know you have the answer to their financial problems, and you will be living free with a healthy residual income and an unbeatable lifestyle that only an online network marketing business can provide.

But if you don’t act now, you stand to lose a lot of money and get left behind the massive amount of entrepreneurs who have already positioned themselves in the home business industry or are about to in the next few days. This isn’t false hype, or some pipe dream. This is actually happening as we speak folks. This is real life, and it’s a real opportunity to separate yourself from the masses, escape the rat race and get on the fast tract towards financial freedom through network marketing.

The growth of my network marketing company and my organization in particular is on the brink of exploding in the next 30 days due to a number of different factors, but all you need to know is the timing is right, everything is in place, and we are 100% prepared for exponential growth, and it’s literally right around the corner. You can get on the train after it’s already at full speed, but honestly, you will be much better off financially, and make money much quicker, if you get on when it’s just starting to rev up.

I am not talking to the weak at heart here, or the people who are not sold on the network marketing business model. Those types of people will even come around eventually after this becomes an undeniable mega-trend, but I’m talking to the people that have considered getting involved in the industry or my company in the past or have at least been curious. Maybe you’ve never thought about starting a network marketing business, but you’re an open-minded, ambitious individual who’s visiting this blog for the first time and just starting to learn about network marketing and running a home business. I’m definitely speaking to you too.

This is not hard guys. In fact, it’s really simple, and very duplicatable, which is the major key to financial success in this industry. If you’re really serious about turning around your life financially, or even just creating a solid additional stream of income, I highly suggest you check out my network marketing opportunity at the following link: http://www.jeffmirro.net

My advice to you is to take action immediately, not later today, or tomorrow, or next week, but right now. By taking action I mean either sign up and get started as a home business owner, or if you’re already in business for yourself, start to talk to other people and share the most powerful business model in the world with them as soon as you can. You can talk about your high quality products, lucrative compensation plan and all the other benefits of being a network marketing business owner, but when it comes right down to it, this business is just about changing your buying habits and teaching others to do the same. Buy products from your network marketing company, refer this idea to others and watch your profits and residual income soar.

It doesn’t get any easier than this. Hopefully I’ve clarified things in your mind and made them simple enough that you can wipe out any confusion you may have had and go make things happen. Go build your business. Go live the dream. Don’t delay any longer, because this business is so darn simple that other people are going to want to join you in masses, and that my friend, is what will make you a network marketing millionaire.

Here’s the deal: Yes, it is technically possible to build “any” network marketing company, online or offline, if you go about it the right way. And yes, in the long run, the skills you possess and the following you build up is just as critical to your long-term success and the company you’re affiliated with. But to discount the importance of being with a stable company with quality products is ridiculous.

You should be marketing outstanding products that you enjoy using yourself and that you feel could be beneficial to others. You should have a profitable, stable, quality company that stands behind you so you know they aren’t going to screw you on your paycheck or go out of business in three years. Once you’ve selected this company and made the decision to be in business with them for life, then it’s time to start building your marketing skills and people skills, along with plugging into your company’s training and proven duplicatable system. Of course, the leadership, or upline you choose to work with and be mentored by is also of extreme importance, but if you pick the right company, this should not be too hard to find.

But before you get to that point, you are going to have to research the top network marketing companies and see which one is the best fit for you. Products do matter. The compensation plan does matter. How long they’ve been in business, their standing with the Better Business Bureau, the quality of their products, their profitability, their corporate leadership: these things do matter a great deal, no matter what any online “guru” would have you believe.

Unless you want to have a network marketing career where you jump around from one company to the next, with no clear plan of action and losing money at every stop, then I suggest you do your due diligence in picking the right network marketing company at the outset. Everything else will fall into place later, and you’ll be much better positioned for long-term success.

One of the best parts about owning a network marketing business is that you no longer have to have a storefront. Thanks to the Internet and technology, costs have been dramatically reduced for business owners. Shipping, packaging and the cost of the product are the only expenses of selling that a multi level marketer must take on.

The most important step to lead to a residual income from your network marketing business is to advertise. Some of the best advertising can lead to customers coming back again and again. For example, word of mouth marketing can make a customer fiercely loyal. This typically only works when your business wows the customer so much that they have to tell their friends. Word of mouth marketing can also be negative if the customer has a very bad experience with your network marketing company. Customer service cannot be neglected when you have a business. Multi level marketing businesses that do not care for their customers are not going to last.

Another method of advertising your business is Internet marketing. Owning a network marketing business means that you should be very familiar with the Internet. Most network marketing companies require that you have an account with the main office online. This is to help you with promotional materials and support. Have you ever considered starting your own website? A single website can actually lead to a future of residual income that requires no extra effort on your part.

Shipping costs also decrease when bought online. For example, the United States Postal Service charges less online for postage than they do at the post office. They are only able to pass along this cost savings to you because of a lower overhead cost. A network marketing business is also able to realize this cost savings by having online operations. A domain name, hosting account and entire website package costs less than $100 a year. Once you have built a website, you simply add all of your personal details to the website and links to your personal company website.

Labor is another one of the costs that is reduced thanks to the Internet. A manned store front would cost several hundred dollars a day in labor alone. Wages, taxes and benefits are required by federal law. There are some that must be provided to your workers regardless of what they agree to. A brick and mortar store would also require electricity, water and sewer. A network marketing opportunity run through the Internet simply requires you to create the website and advertise. Once the traffic begins to appear you can continue to advertise or generate residual income with multi level marketing off of the traffic that you are already receiving.

Search engine marketing is going to be one of the easiest methods of increasing your traffic to your network marketing opportunity. Search engines are in the business of ranking other websites and providing their searchers with the results that they desire. For example, an individual who searched about “How to make money online” would be directed to websites that talked about this subject. Your network marketing opportunity has several keywords that should be promoted for the search engine. For example, the product name, key benefits and other product specific information should be mentioned throughout your website. The more often you mention this information the better you will typically rank in the search engines. However, do not use these keywords in an unnatural manor. This makes the website appear to be trying to game the system and may lower its ranking.

Running a network marketing business online allows you to choose when you want to work. Instead of having to get up and work at the crack of dawn, the residual income stream allows you to have more free time. You can use this free time to raise your family, enjoy a favorite hobby or simply relax. This makes a network marketing opportunity perfect for individuals in all stages of their lives. Whether they need to earn some extra money as they are entering the work force or want to be able to enjoy a more luxurious retirement, MLM opportunities are abundant. Finding a network marketing program that focuses on the Internet is extremely easy. Some programs may even offer courses that will instruct you on how to get started. What are you waiting for? Why not start to generate residual income with multi level marketing on the Internet today?

One of the best ways to make money through affiliate marketing is joining programs that offer lifetime commissions, such as a network marketing company. Every time the same customer buys something new or reorders, you will earn commissions–for life! Lifetime commissions are also known as residual income.

Another good way to make money through affiliate marketing is by joining affiliate networks. These networks offer a wide range of services and products from various companies. Many of the brands are famous, so they offer products people will want to buy. Such a network will monitor all the earned commissions you have coming to you from various programs and will give you one check for all of them on a scheduled date. Imagine how convenient that will be!

You will also earn a good residual income if you join programs that offer high commissions. Such commissions are from 30 to 80%. Why bother with affiliate programs that only give a small commission?

Another way to earn good money is through search engine optimization (SEO). People will be much more likely to notice your website, if it is rated high in various search engines. You can do this by putting comments in your website that are creative and of high quality. You need to choose keywords that relate heavily to what your site is about. Your page will load faster, and that will help you promote your website, if you minimize graphics. Your page design should be consistent on all of your pages. The navigational menu should be in the most convenient section of your website.

It is also possible to earn money through affiliate marketing programs by using pay per click (PPC) advertisements. Every time someone clicks on your link or banner, you’ll earn money. As with other kinds of advertising, you will need to choose the right keywords to draw people to the advertisements. You will need to use keywords that have commercial intent, including such words as “buy.” Urgent keywords, such as repair, stop, fix, cure, quick, fast, and remedy are also good. Other good keywords are your product name and “review.”

Another important item in making money through affiliate marketing programs is that you will have to promote your website. The most important way is by submitting it to search engines like Google, MSN, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, DMOZ, and other search engines and directories. You can also exchange links with popular related items. If you join a popular forum, you will be able to place a link to your website in a signature area.

You can also make money by joining 2-tier affiliate programs. You will be able to recruit a large number of others, almost like an army, to sell your product for you. You will receive a commission from all their sales. This functions much the same way as network marketing.

You will make money if you join Google Adsense. With this pay-per-click affiliate program, all the Google advertisements are related to the content of your website. In addition, you can place a Google web and search button and earn money whenever a visitor uses it. You will make more money if you put a Google Adsense link in a prominent spot in all your web pages.

Another way to make good money through affiliate marketing programs is by using social networking sites. Such websites are among the most popular and fastest growing sites online. This is a must if you want to make real money through affiliate marketing. Besides making more money, you will increase your reputation and reliability among online shoppers.

Even if you are selling an incredible product at an extremely low price, you won’t make any money if people don’t know about your product. Have you ever noticed how many companies have their own spot on Facebook or MySpace? Did you ever think there might be a good reason for that? Maybe companies are making money as a result! There are many online resources to help, and the social network websites themselves also give help on their sites.
