Have you heard people say that Network Marketing is a scam or a scheme?

That’s what people used to say about franchises back in the 1960s, and the US Congress even made a move to outlaw them.

Do you think franchise companies like McDonalds or Pizza Hut are a scam?

At the present time, most people consume some kind of product from a franchisee, whether it’s hamburgers or pizzas or subway.

So, franchises must be making a lot of mon’ey, even though a Franchise fee is huge.

Of course, a McDonald’s franchise costs more than a m’illion doll’ars, and I’ve heard that one has to work there for a year before starting their own franchise.

One of my favorite authors is John Milton Fogg and he states that:

“Net’work Mark’eting has taken the concept of franchising – providing independent entrepreneurs with a ready-made, low-risk, proven, turn-key small-business opportunity – and made some remarkable improvements on it”.

John Fogg has a great name for Network Marketing.

He calls it the “People’s Franchise”.

Why call it that?

Because it’s a business where ordinary people can achieve extraordinary success.

It’s based on a lot of people doing a Little bit of sales and distribution.

And, a really great thing about working on the Internet, is that you don’t have to be a salesman like traditional Networkers often were.

Your Website and your Company’s pre-written email reports will often do the selling for you.

As an Independent Marketer, you combine all the income-building benefits of the franchisee and the franchise company, while cutting out the major disadvantages
(those gigantic costs).

These are just a few of the benefits of Network Marketing…

** No cost because you’re an independent Net’work Mark’eter.

** Limited risk of start up because it only costs you a few hundred dol’lars.

** You do NOT pay royalties from your sales to the company.

** No hiring, firing or managing employees.

** Work when you want, how you want, for as many or few hours as you want.

** Offer superior quality, specialty products and unique services that meet high consumer demand.

** Choose with whom you work, when, where, and how you work.

** Combine the Network Marketing approach with the World Wide Web to get to know people all over the world.

** Potential tax advantage of claiming deductions for your Home Office, your Spouse, your Children and even your Vacations.

** Flexibility of part-time or full-time involvement,

So, do you think the “People’s Franchise” is a great concept?
