This was suggested by Alan.

It seems more and more people are looking for an alternative to forever climbing the corporate ladder, or even worse being stuck on the corporate ladder and never being able to move up. Many people are also looking for extra income because even though they went to college they are not as satisfied with their career as they thought they would be. That is why people are looking for alternatives!  Do you have any good experiences with these types of businesses, have they worked for you? If so how much money have you made with them and what business was it? Help others!

Brenda | I have had some success with an MLM company in the past. I know the key is you just have to stick with it, MLM will only work if you stick with it and do not give up! B) Reply | Quote 0 0

Mike | What business was it you were involved in? I have a friend who has been trying to get me to do some knife thing, I can't remember the name of it though. He says he is making a little money at it, but it does not seem like it is right for me though. What company was it you worked for Brenda? Reply | Quote 0 0

Brenda | I was involved with Quikstar. I was starting to make a little money with it, but something came up in my life so I had to give up. I don't want to go back to that I am looking for something else though. I just did not like having to order everything from a catalog that I could buy at costco. Reply | Quote 0 0

Rob | Been there tried that, it just got old buying stuff through the mail all the time, although I do know that a lot of people made a lot of money with it in the past, I wish I would have got involved with it when it first started. Reply | Quote 0 0

Strategizer | My uncle did that he is rich now. It took him a long time but he did it. He has a saying. There is no such thing as impossible, there is only I did not try hard enough. He is living proof you can do it. Reply | Quote 0 0

SH09 | I definitely agree! You wouldn't qit a job after only a few months or a year, why did I do it with what I was involved in before. I did al of that hard work for nothing. I won,t make the same mistake twice! Reply | Quote 0 0

Wildman | Networking companies are great if you get into the right one I have a rich family member from one, but they Suck if you get into the wrong one. I would suggest you do your research first and look at their track record and how fast they are growing, some are stagnant. You want to get into one growing fast, there is probably a reason that it is growing so fast. Reply | Quote 0 0

Bryan | I just had a friend get involved in something. I am thinking about getting involved too, he is really excited about it and he has told me some interesting things about it that are pretty exciting to me too. I am going over to talk to him about it tomorrow. I will post how it goes. Reply | Quote 0 0

HaloD0mInat0r | Is there anybody out there that actually makes money in network Marketing? It seems that the couple of people I have met have not, but they only did it for about two months then quit. Anyone reading this actually succeed? Reply | Quote 0 0

Stephie27 | I did the candle thing, I won't mention any names, I had a good time for a while with it, but I soon realized that I only needed so many candles and so did my friends :D :lol: Reply | Quote 0 0

gws8000 | That is funny, my mom did that and I bought some candles from her too, how could I say no? Reply | Quote 0 0

Maximus | Yeah, my mom got me too haha. You gotta watch those moms! Reply | Quote 0 0

Alan | I was in quickstar for a little while, I wish I would not have given up so easily, one of my friends is still in and he is making a few hundred extra a month right now, who could not use an extra few hundred a month? I am looking for something different though Reply | Quote 0 0

Bryan | Sorry I have been away for so long, I have been super busy with what I got involved with, The company is called Mona Vie! I am so excited about this! I have never seen anything like this before, I am so happy I went to the meeting with my friend. I had my apprehensions, but I gave it a chance, anyone out there who is interested in making a little extra money or a lot should check it out. Give it a chance it could change your life.

Rob | Bryan, I have heard of Monavie from a friend, but I did not get involved yet. Do you really think this is a good way to make some money? I just want to be sure before I jump in to something. Reply | Quote 0 0

Bryan | Rob, What sold me on the Mona Vie opportunity is the fact that it has so many good things going for it. It is a functional health drink, which people really like, think of it kind of like Red Bull, or Monster Energy Drinks, it is one of the fastest growing companies in America. Most of the time 5,000-10,000 people a week are joining! I have verified this by looking at the distributor IDs when signing my friends up over he past few weeks. When I signed 2 people up back to back the numbers were just a few people apart. When I signed someone up a week later the number was about 10,000 higher! Trust me get in this. Reply | Quote 0 0

LouieFuton | Rob, that sounds like it could be a good thing you are in. I have never got into that kind of stuff. I am sort of thinking about it though, my job is not too stable, 50 people just got laid off last week at my job, not very comforting. :s Reply | Quote 0 0

Strategizer | I hope I do not get laid off too, it seems like no one is safe. I am going to be sure to refi my house as soon as the rates drop a little more. Reply | Quote 0 0

Bryan | I just hit Star 1000 in Monn Vie. I am actually making money at this, this is awesome. If you are looking for something to get involved in I would check out Mona Vie. I am glad I did :woohoo: Reply | Quote 0 0

Brenda | Bryan - What does star 1000 mean? How much money are you making now? I still am looking for something and I need some money soon. How much are you making? Reply | Quote 0 0

Random9940 | What is Mona Vie? How does it work? Reply | Quote 0 0

Alan | It is neat to see other people's comments on MLM. I started this subject. Like I said in my topic suggestion I think there has to be a better wy out there than working your life away at work. Once I found a good one I will let you guys know. After reading what Bryan said I think I am going to check into what he is into. Reply | Quote 0 0

Ihovercx | Thank you for the good topic idea, I am sure a lot of people will find this topic helpful. Reply | Quote 0 0

Jon | I have been curious about this, it seems that some people do make tons of money, I wonder how they do it. How do they do that? Reply | Quote 0 0

Absc23 | They way it works is that you get other people to join up with you then they go get other people and then those people go get other people. That is how it works and why it works. You will eventually have the power of hundreds or thousands of people working under you if you keep working at it. I have met a few people who are rich from it. Keep in mind it did not happen over night for them. Stuff like this is not something that will make you rich overnight, but if you keep going it will make you rich over time. Reply | Quote 0 0

Alphadog | Being as how I am getting ready to graduate from High School OI have never tried one of these Multi Level Marketing or Network marketing things. How do they work and how much money has anyone actually made in doing one of these. Don't try to recruit me just give me the facts. I am curious on how they work and if they are legitimate ways to make money. Reply | Quote 0 0

Absc23 | See my post above. ^^ Reply | Quote 0 0

Hit-Me-21 | Thanks Absc23! I think that is great advice. I tried a network marketing company once about a year ago. If I would have kept going who knows where I would be. Like someone told me once "just because you have burned your lip with coffee one time, you probably drank it again didn't you? I will probably get involved in one again. I think from what Bryan has said about MonaVie has made me want to check into it. It seems like it is working for him. Reply | Quote 0 0

Ihovercx | I am in Mona Vie too! I found this site through Google. I am a Ruby which makes $100,000 a year on average. I just hit the rank a week ago! I love it I have been in one in the past too but I made no money I am making money with this, a lot. Reply | Quote 0 0

webpasco | I discovered this industry a year ago and found that it's a powerful means to help people who want to be successful in life achieve great things. I also discovered that in Network Marketing, the success is guaranteed if you receive competent, effective and productive training. Training on how to Choose a perfect company, How to be Leader, How to Recruit, especially within the industry. In February 2009, I finally joined a company that feeds my need and desires after doing my research. Even though I am not making the kind of money I would like to earn, I know deep in my mind that every thing relies on me. My motivation, my daily activities. I know that after deciding what you want to achieve and learning what it takes, the only thing to do is to take massive action and apply what you learn on a consistent daily basis... My mentor told me that you don't need to be full time to succeed in NM. Even part time, you can win big in NM. This morning, June 7, CNN made a report on how the direct sales industry is back again in a big way. In case you missed it: http://amfix.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/17/avon-mary-kay-making-comeback/. We can seize this opportunity to prosper. Best success to all. Reply | Quote 0 0

Paully | I agree network marketing is hard but it is worth it. It is either find 30-40 people to do this with you over the next few years or work the next 30-40 years. Reply | Quote 0 0

MLMer 4 Life | If you are in need of an events calendar like these: http://www.columbusjuicecalendar.com http://www.myjuicecalendar.com you can contact this person by email youreventscalendar@gmail.com and he will make you one. He only charged me $200 and it only took him a few days to get it up. It is well worth it so all of my team has one place to go to look at what events are coming up instead of everyone calling each other and getting confused about meeting times. Reply | Quote 0 0

webpasco.com  - How I discover the Power of Leveraged marketing | I will like to share with you what I learn about Leveraged marketing in NM. Leveraged marketing is one of the best business models for the average person who is serious about becoming financially independent. As an industry, leveraged marketing doesn't require a person to start out with lot of capital. In most cases you can begin a business for a few hundred dollars and it doesn't require a formal education or years of business experience. The majority of people who join our industry start out on a part time basis and begin learning how to work the business in their spare time; allowing the person to earn while they learn. The rule of thumb adopted by most people is when the level of income equals or surpasses the income from a person's current job; it is then time to make decision to work the full-time. Again, you can make a lot of money working part-time. It’s what you do on a daily basis that count, not the number of hour invested. Reply | Quote 0 0

rachelwee | Great advice it seems, I have never tried it but after reading your comments and others I will be checking into this way of making money and hopefully eventually replacing my income from my career I hope, how nice would that be? It seems it will be hard but not working for decades t a traditional job. Reply | Quote 0 0

Copycat | I too am in MLM I know that this opportunity (MLM in general) is a good thing to be in now with so many people losing their jobs. I can see a real potential behind this and I wish you the best of luck in what you do. I am already satisfied with my opportunity that I am in because it is growing. I wish you the best of luck and if my thing I am in does not work out I will get in touch with you. For right now I will stick with my network marketing company. One of the network marketing tips that I read was to not jump around from opportunity to opportunity you grow income by finding a good company and sticking with it for the long haul.

Webpasco  - 100% agree with you | I agree at 100% with you. In Network Marketing, once you choose the right, I mean a company that present you the opportunity to succeed, you don't have to quit. It's take time to build a solid business. So far as you learn what it takes to be successful in this industry. Best success to all Reply | Quote 0 0

Blue | Thought of it but have never done it I might some day. I have to work up the motivation first though. Reply | Quote 0 0

Pascal  - How to Choose a Perfect Network Marketing Company | I will like to share with you what I learn about choosing the right company and how in today’s world, NM is a response of what people in corporate world demands: Time Freedom. I came to find that it’s my way, although I am still in corporate business, I am developing my business on a part time basis. As I learn from my mentor, you don’t need to be full time to succeed in this business... So when looking for business opportunity, you must look for a NM company that offer you with the opportunity to succeed. There are hundreds of them around and I even found about 10-15 whose stocks are trade in US and Canadian stock markets (NASDAQ, NYSEX, AMEX, TSX). Your good common sense will serve you best while researching for a perfect company. These are 5 key factors to look for: 1- The company products/services, compensation plan must be appealing to you first; you must like the product/services, and you must ask yourself, will this be appealing to my prospect and customer as well? Ask yourself if you can sell it? Does the product and services have a mass appeal or it’s a small niche market? (Go for mass appeal product) 2- The company must be managed by people who are honest, experienced and competent (this is easy to know but by talking with some Networkers, you can make your own opinion) 3- The most already be a huge demand to market, the bigger the demand the bigger the market 4- The compensation plan must be fair to all associate and it must reward extra productivity, hardwork, leadership 5- The company may have something special, something unique with sense of urgency, Something that that you can easily promote, sell, pitch. If you can find a company that match these criteria, you are in Business. Best Success Pascal Reply | Quote 0 0

cm329 | I am in Monavie too, many people wonder is Mona Vie a scam? I can tell you it certainly is not a scam. I know people making quite a bit of money by working hard. I am not making a ton yet it is just side money. I have gotten a few of my military buddies in and hopefully I will get more soon. There is a ton of money being made, I want a piece of this action!
