Your a Network Marketer and Don't Even Realize It

In some respects most people are network marketers and they don’t even realize it. If you ever recommend a good movie to a friend you have essentially network marketed. Network marketing can also be referred to as "word of mouth advertising" and the movie industry has been relying on YOU to network market their movies (by means of “word of mouth advertising”) since the first black & white movie was ever shown in a theater. The only difference between the movie industry and other businesses that use network marketing is that unlike the movie industry these businesses pay YOU for helping them advertise and sell their products.

From a business sense network marketing also known as "direct marketing" makes total sense. In contrast Red Bull is an example of a company that uses conventional ways to market their products. It is estimated that Red Bull spent over 900 million dollars paying advertisers to market their products last year alone. This essentially means that any new business wishing to compete with Red Bull by following the same set of rules would have to come up with just about a billion dollars just to begin to play the game. The problem with "conventional" ways of marketing is that you really don't get your money's worth. For example, if Red bull pays $5,000 for a billboard along the side of the highway there isn't any real way of determining how many people who drove past the billboard actually purchased the drink because of it. There is no accurate way of determining the actual return on their advertising dollar investment. In contrast, with network marketing a business can rest assured that they are getting a 100% return on their advertising dollar. For example, if you purchase a product because I recommend it to you - the company's marketing has worked 100% and that's why they have no problem paying me for it. It's a win win situation and one that allows new business who have great products to compete.

With the advent of the Internet and social "networks" and the access to hundreds of millions of people online, "word of mouth advertising" has taken on a whole new meaning. Everyday millions of people suggest their likes (and sometimes dislikes) about products and services. Who better to consider a product from then from the suggestion of someone you know? A single comment from a trusted friend can send hundreds of people to the store to purchase that product. The opportunity for people to earn a great income is doing this is very obvious!

I encourage you to consider network marketing and what the possibilities are when you simply choose to recommend a product you like to your friends. I've chosen eFusjon Energy Drinks for a number of reasons but mostly because I love the product - It's a healthier alternative to energy drinks and it tastes great! Go ahead, find something you love and tell others about it. You just might find it pays to give your opinion.

By the way, if you haven’t gone to the theater to watch Avatar, go see it. It’s an amazing movie! I hear it’s already earned over a billion dollars in the box office. – Hmm… I wonder why.
