Don’t let the “Gurus” Fool You: The Company You Choose is Extremely Important
There’s been a lot of talk the past few years of branding yourself online as an expert and someone who provides valuable content in order to succeed in network marketing. “You Inc.” has been promoted as being much more important than the company you are partnered with: you know, the one that manufacturers and sells the products, pays you and allows the very opportunity that you are marketing to exist. Someone on the outside looking in could see why your network marketing company is just as important as your ability to brand yourself, yet network marketers often lose sight of this fact after months or years of reading online articles and training to the contrary.
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.
I have done my due diligence and much research on network marketing for the past four years. I have been around the industry and I know what’s real and what’s not. I also know what will last and what will not last. Do I have all the answers? Of course not. But I know I have enough knowledge and experience to lead you in the right direction. Therefore, I give you the top network marketing companies which you should consider joining:
1. Amway
The king of all network marketing companies, Amway is the first and oldest MLM company and one that spawned most of the others you see on the Internet today. But is it still a worthwhile option for you to invest in? Absolutely. You just need to build it as you would any other network marketing company, by using attraction marketing online. If you build it online, the compensation plan, products and overall opportunity are still top notch and you can still make a lot of money with them long term.
2. Immunotec
This company has high quality immune defense products and it has been growing pretty quickly the past couple years. They have been around since 1996 and are on solid ground financially. I like the looks of the business model, compensation plan and product quality enough to put them at number 2 in the world for now.
3. Herbalife
Like Amway, this company has also been around seemingly forever and just as Amway is largely based around their Nutrilite vitamins and supplements, Herbalife is also based around quality nutritional products. I tend to favor these long-lasting, stable, financially secure companies over the start-ups and medium sized companies because you know they’re not going anywhere and it’s been proven that literally any network marketing opportunity can thrive on the Internet, so why not choose one of the big boys? Amway and Immunotec are better options, but Herbalife is definitely a part of this elite group.

In order to help you make a more informed decision in selecting a network marketing company to work with, we are highlighting three of the most popular online network marketing companies available today. Providing a brief overview of each, this list of the top network marketing companies is an excellent place to start on your journey into this potentially lucrative business.
Ameriplan
Due to the current health insurance crisis in the United States, it is little wonder that Ameriplan is experiencing so much popularity. Their product is unique in the world of network marketing: discounted health care services for people who enroll in the plan. Unlike many other network marketing companies, the people who sell Ameriplan truly do believe in it and can see how it can positively impact many peoples’ lives. Getting started with Ameriplan is relatively simple; more information is available at http://www.myhomebusinesspays.com/bonuses.
Jerky Direct
As strange as it may seem, the opportunities presented by the network marketing company Jerky Direct are potentially quite lucrative. As a representative for Jerky Direct, you are provided with a pre-designed e-commerce store and can sell at retail price to end users; the profit margins are very attractive. Although the holiday season is the best time to sell this product, year-round sales are relatively stable. Learn more at http://www.jerky.ws/.
Kiosk
With online network marketing, it makes sense to sell a web based product. Kiosk offers its representatives the chance to do exactly that. Rather than sell traditional, tangible products, their reps market web hosting and online marketing services. Their 15% direct referral bonus is just one example of the competitive pricing structure offered by Kiosk. Additionally, more people than ever before are looking for web hosting and marketing solutions; you are likely to already know quite a few people who could use this service.

Your mother once told you that swimming was dangerous, that you should be cautious at first and wade in the shallow end, just for a while. She suggested you gain your confidence and acclimate yourself, that you digest your food for at least 20 minutes. All of that nonsense. She also told you to not dive, especially in the shallow end. But, you didn’t listen. You saw the water, you wanted in, then and now. So, you went ahead and dove right in.
And, you chose the shallow end. As you probably remember, you hit your head or stubbed some fingers, even twisted a wrist. You know why? Because you dove in head first. You were ill-prepared. You didn’t know what was coming. But, it came, head on.
And…smack, you suffered the consequences.
This above story is relevant, despite what you think. The tie-in: the same heedful idea applies toward introducing yourself into the business world. Specifically, being careful when starting in network marketing is the focus here.
In the network marketing (or multi level marketing) industry, you can’t afford to jump in too soon. If you do, you will injure your life and your financial health. Instead of bumps on the head, jammed fingers or even twisted wrists…you could easily get a huge financial cut. In network marketing you could deeply wound yourself from the start with initial sign-on procedures or just by fully committing yourself to whichever company you select.
To steer clear of this you need to do a few simple, rudimentary things:
Before you act you need to prepare and practice for what’s ahead…on top of outlining a particular plan of attack. All that’s required of you to avoid a hazardous network marketing “dive” of your own is to conduct a good amount of research and forethought; do these essential steps for yourself, both in regards to personal interests and for security’s sake. After all, you want to find top network marketing companies that fit your personality and meet your goals; also, you must consider honing in on companies that will pass your scrutiny-checks when inquiring about past records and current statuses in the industry.
It’s imperative to make sure that all companies of interest are stable for your start in network marketing. If they’re financially shaky, show signs of dishonest or backward procedures or, most importantly, if you’re at all uneasy by what offers are presented to you, do some fieldwork and uncover the truth…or — as the preferred outcome — disprove your negative thoughts and perceptions. Do this for the sake of yourself and having peace of mind. As a result you will have a sound network marketing company to start off from and that’s the key to success.
So, listen to your mom. Go back in time, poolside style and wait 20 minutes after you had those cheeseburgers and hotdogs. Get used to the water in the shallows. And above all, don’t dive before you’re ready.
Do it. Mom will be proud and so will your future business professional self.
