How and why should you diversify your income with a MLM or Network Marketing company? Before we get to the why and how lets get the stigma of an Multi-Level-Marketing company out of the way.
Let's just get this out in the open. I am SO tired of seeing so much bashing when it comes to Multi-Level-Marketing. MLM is also know as Network Marketing also known as Word of Mouth marketing. I totally understand the skeezy, spammy marketing that goes on in lots of MLM's. Do I like it? Heck no! Do I understand why they do it? Heck Yes! Do I run my business that way? Heck no! Before you leave, keep reading on to understand why a MLM works perfectly for diversifying your income.
Let's break this down. Why do people become spammy McSpamerson when they start a MLM? Well when anyone starts a business whether it be a MLM or a brick and mortar store you expect or at least hope that your friends and family support you. When you invest in a MLM business you are investing sometimes a lot of money, time and energy. It is exciting but also SO scary. Sometimes people share their excitement in the wrong spammy way. The next time someone messages you about their business do me a favor. Step away from the computer and look at this in a different perspective. The perspective of, "hey Suzy just started XYZ company and maybe she is just wanting to earn a little income to pay for Sally's ballet" . Do you have to buy anything? Nope but you can definitely share her website, comment on her posts! Those things help more than anything. OK stepping off the soapbox for a second.
Back to explaining this so the people in the back can understand a Network Marketing Business. When I bought a starter kit from Young Living who has been around for 25 years, I essentially bought a franchise. If your best friend bought a McDonalds franchise would you not go and buy food from them because they bought a McDonalds? It is the same thing. Young Living does not pay marketing dollars. Instead they give it to us who sell their products. When you support your friends who sell a product like Beauty Counter, Shakeology or any other company like that you are supporting her small business. Owning a business is not for the faint of heart. It takes grit and lots of hard work. Those friends that have started a business are providing income for their families while being moms, or friends or wives or husbands or dads. For someone to not support you just because you bought a mlm franchise is the most ridiculous thing ever. You don't have to sign up, just support your friends and family!
Now that we have gotten the Stigma of Network Marketing out of the way, let's chat about why you should consider an MLM as a way to diversify your income and why you should do it.
"Never rely on a single source of income" ~Warren Buffet
Why Diversify your income?
Warren Buffet was a financial legendary genius. He urges us to find multiple ways to bring in income. If you aren't earning "mailbox money" or passive income you are doing it all wrong. Never rely on a single source of income. If one income stream fails you have another income stream to support you. In times of uncertainty it offers more freedom.
