Is this Network marketing company a good idea? Five things you should know before you make your decision.

When creating a residual income from home there are 5 key elements that you must consider before aligning yourself with a business. We must keep in mind the big picture. We are trying to creating a residual income from home. Meaning, that we work our butts off for 3,4,5 years and continue to get paid for 30,40,50 years. These Five Key elements will prove essential to your success on this path.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. - Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)

In order for you to continue to receive your residual income, The Company that you you have aligned yourself with has to stick around. If they go out of business, you're sunk. Kiss your residual income good bye.

#1 Financial Fortress

The number one thing to look at when choosing a Company is their financial stability. And as you probably know, 85% of all businesses fail with in their first year. And out of the ones who survive, 97% don't live to see their 10th birthday. Are you planning on hanging around for more than 10 years? Then you better make sure that your company will be around to pay you! The financial stability of your company must be rock solid.

#2 Don't follow a Lemming

The second key element is that the company has a Proven Product. Residual income businesses are crawling out of the wood work now a day making all sorts of wild and fabulous claims about their products. How do you know if their claims are true? One of the biggest downfalls in choosing a company with an exciting new product is choosing a product that turns out to be a fad. It's hot today and as soon as something shinier and more exotic says hello, all of the little lemmings run and follow it ready to jump on board.

Residual income suicide.

Remember, the whole purpose is to create a Residual Income. In order for the "Residual" part to work, people have to continue to order your products. You need a product that has staying power. A product that is unique. That has with stood the test of time. That gets results.

The reality of all of this is if a product doesn't work then it won't last very long. So find a product that has a proven history of success. Choose a company with a product that has with stood the test of time. Anything else and you are gambling with your future.

#3 Fuzzy Math

The third element you should consider is the companies' Compensation Plan. If you have ever looked at a network marketing compensation plan before you'll know that you practically have to be a mathematician to figure it out.

Fortunately, there is a simpler form of evaluation.

First find out the company's net payout. What is that you say, you can't find it? It's probably because the company doesn't want you to know it. I'll clue you in; the average net payout is approximately 38%. With a compensation plan like this, you will need around 4,000 people in your organization in order to earn a six figure residual income. That is a whole lot of networking. Not that it can't be done, but realistically, few people will create this kind of an organization.

It is these kinds of compensation plans that create third world economies. A very small percentage of the uber rich, all funded by thousands of people struggling. What you are looking for is a company that has at least a 50% or higher net payout. Success is much more likely with a company that has a higher net payout. With a compensation plan like this you will need around 500-2,000 people in your organization to earn that same six figure income.

Why such a large range you ask?

Well, it all depends on how the money is distributed. The money needs to be distributed in such a way that it provides a strong front end so the new business builders can start to earn money fast. This will insure member retention. When people start to earn money right away, I mean they are in the black with in their first month of business, they tend to stick around. You will also want a strong back end to maximum your earning potential. Enabling you to hit the 30,000-80,000+ per month incomes. And of course you will also need a strong middle. This will sustain and encourage growth. Just like in Life, what you need in a compensation plan is... Balance.

#4 This is where I come in

The fourth key that you want to look for, which is crucial to your personal success, is Training and Support.

This is where I come in.

If you have ever been part of a network marketing company before, you probably experienced what most people do, frustration. You were lured in by the seduction and the hype of the residual income from home lifestyle and then once you were on board, you were left out in the rain, in the dark, with no umbrella and no map.

Scandalous.

What you want to find is someone with whom you can connect with. Someone that resonates with your way of being. Someone who will educate you and show you the ropes. Someone who has systems of marketing that have''' been shown to work time and time again. Someone who will listen to you and get to know you. Someone to help you find a marketing strategy that suits your individual personality.

There are many people out there on the internet offering their advice on how to a create residual income. But have you ever noticed how you never get to talk to any of them? Wouldn't be nice to actually talk to a human being? Especially when we are making such an important decision such as this.

I would love to talk to you about your business ideas, whether you choose my business or not. In this business we need to leverage all the help we can get and it is rare to find someone willing to personally help.

#5 What Time Is It?

The fifth major factor to consider is the Timing. The company that you align with must be situated in the right place at the right time.

First, the timing of the products. A hundred years ago you would have had a hard time selling someone a computer or the internet. Like wise, if you went out now a day and tried to sell someone a horse and buggy, you wouldn't make a single sale. You need to find a company with a product that is primed for the upcoming market explosion. Something that resonates with people and provides meaning and value to their life.

Second, you need to find a company that has not yet exceeded there maximum growth potential. There are many great companies out there with excellent products but may have already peaked. Their growth in the market place is very limited. Everyone already knows about their products and if they liked their products then they are probably already using them. You need to find a company who still has their biggest growth curve ahead of them. A company that is not yet a household name yet holds the potential of becoming one. This positions you and your company for tremendous growth.

These are the Five key elements of a successful Residual Income from Home opportunity. Be very cautious if you do not have these in place.

Remember what is at stake here?

You are about to not only place your financial dreams and future on the line with the business of your choice, but also the dreams and finances of EVERYONE that you bring into business with you!

Take your time and make a wise decision.

Many Blessings, Adam Christopher Braun
