1) You don’t need to get out of the house
With the rising cost of fuel, people are starting to favor the joy of working in the comfort of their own home. They do not need to worry about getting caught in heavy traffic, getting stuck at traffic lights, rush hour, road blocks and coming up with lame excuses for being late for work. In other words, your home will be your base of operations and also your fortress of solitude as well.

2) You don’t need paper, pens, make up or even clothes!
Paper is so 80’s. When you can do everything in a paperless environment, you don’t have to worry about where you left your last file. It’s all on the computer or on the net. You can operate your business in your underwear. You do not need to spend a fortune on make up or your aching feet because of wearing high heels. Home businesses may be ‘virtual’ but the money and lifestyle is REAL.

3) You get to outsource
You don’t have to deal with pesky staff. Just operate everything you need from home. You can get writers from India, Philippines, Malaysia or any part of the world. It’s the 21st century and you can connect with the rest of the world from your computer. And best of all, if you don’t like them, you can ‘fire’ them and you don’t ever need to see them again because they are not even in the same country.

4) You can make sales and collect money online
Meeting people in the real world is good, but if you are the shy type who doesn’t like to close a sale in person or collect money from a bad pay master, then by all means, hide behind your computer screen and run an Internet business! Sales letters do a fine job of getting sales and payment processors automate everything by collecting money for you. It’s a beautiful life!

5) You dictate your own hours
Now you can finally talk to your kids late morning or have tea with them. You dictate your time and you dictate your own hours. No longer is one confined to a 9-5 routine and being forced to eat lunch when your ‘boss’ dictates it.

Rule # 1 An MLM leader must be ahead of his or her downline.

This is the first rule to succeed. You are a good MLM leader only if your goals and aims are bigger than those of your downline. You have to build strategies and popularize them within your downline so that they can implement them too. Without planning new strategies and methods, the network marketing venture is not going to succeed. But the members in the downline will be mostly new entrants, without much knowledge of how the cookie crumbles. It is the job of the leader to explain that to them and to make sure that the right tactics are implemented.

Rule # 2 An MLM leader cannot sit back and relax at any time.

Any leadership position is fraught with responsibility. The same applies to network marketing leadership also. Your leadership post is an active post; you have to take the initiative in motivating and guiding your downline. Most times, you will need to accompany members from your downline when they go prospecting. You will need to conduct your own seminars and workshops and participate in those that your downline members have organized also. It is important that you stay constantly on the move and that your downline sees this movement.

Rule # 3 An MLM leader must lead by example.

If the MLM leader sets a target for the downline to have two new prospects a month, he or she must see that their own achievement is better. They must get five new prospects! If you want to be a good MLM leader, you have to lead by example and not just by precept. Only then will you be able to really generate the energy in your downline members to chip in their own little achievements that make the whole network work.

Rule # 4 An MLM leader must be an inspirer.

This ties in with the previous rule. A person who achieves, inspires. When you are leading an MLM downline, you have to keep motivating them to work harder. There will be some members who will feel that they are not cut out for network marketing ?these are the people who will be your toughest challenge. You have to show them that they can work and take the network forward too. You must hold meetings quite regularly where you encourage everyone to sally forth and conquer.

Rule # 5 An MLM leader must essentially be a good person.

Only a person with noble intentions can be a good network marketing leader. If you think of only your own interests here, you are not going to go much further. You need to be cooperative with at least your downline. If a particular member cannot explain the plan properly to a prospect, you need to give them special guidance, much as a teacher would do to a weak person. You have to have the will to make everyone succeed here. That motive will definitely rub off on you at the end of the day.

If you are looking for a good multilevel marketing venture to be a part of and succeed in it, make sure that the following ten points are in order.

1. Are you convinced with the product that you will have to sell with the business opportunity? If not, there is no reason you should go ahead with it.

2. Are you convinced of their business plan? Most importantly, have you understood it thoroughly and will you be able to explain it to others in the same way your business representative does it for you? If the business plan is complicated or if you think you will not be able to explain it to others, you can give this one a miss.

3. Do they insist on some unreasonable membership fee? Most home businesses are low investment opportunities. If you have to spend more than $200 to be a part of the activity, drop it.

4. You must get a complete kit when you join. It should contain a detailed instruction manual and a manual about the product you will be selling too. It should have several things that can help you promote the product such as stickers, buttons and pins, etc.

5. How are your immediate upline members? Your leader, the one who explains the business to you when you join, must be friendly and even charismatic. He or she must be able to help you initially in convincing people to join.

6. Does the business hold seminars to induct more people frequently? Remember that without such contact programs, it will become difficult to bring more members to the network. The physical approach is unbeatable. Also, leaders must be present at these seminars to speak to the people and convince them.

7. Does the  business have an online presence? Without that, you can give all hopes of earning good money. The best way to bring in more people is through the Internet. The business should use these opportunities to the maximum extent.

8. Do you have enough people to back you and support you, at least initially? Are you a social person? Such things help in getting the initial members. It is a good idea to speak to some people in your immediate circle to find out whether they will support you by joining the network themselves.

9. Do you have time for the activity? Remember that a business venture is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You have to put in effort. If you cannot, no such activity will work for you.

10. What is the reputation of the company? This is highly important. The products will be sold faster if the company has some reputation. It is difficult to join newbie companies that no one has heard of, unless they have some highly innovative products that people would love to interest themselves in.
