It’s truly amazing how short our memories are. In the late 1980s we dealt with the S&L crisis. That one only cost the government-I mean taxpayers-about $325 billion. The result of the crisis were millions of lost jobs and foreclosed homes. Sound familiar? Why didn’t we learn anything?

Well, actually we did learn something back then: As bad as that time was for some, it was a boom for others. Some people made a fortune during that period. Many more made a good living, while even more supplemented their dwindling incomes. The companies that turned the bust into a boom sold many different types of products manufactured mainly in foreign countries, but they all had one thing in common: They provided everyone from the executive to the unskilled laborer the same opportunity. These companies were all part of the direct selling industry.

Today there are many companies out there that provide this type of opportunity, and I happen to work for one of them as the Vice President of Business Development and General Manager. I have used the experience that I gained by joining the direct sales industry in the early 1990s to counsel the decision makers in our company to devise a marketing plan that is ideal for today’s evolving marketplace. » Read more: Business Opportunity During Economic Crisis

And many of them are willing to share their secrets with you. But so are a lot of people who haven’t made a lot online. You have to pick the right sources for information.

One thing you need to succeed is a support system. When you are just starting out, you need to find someone who wants to see your success as well as their own. Sales ventures online are usually doomed to failure without support from someone in your “upline”. The problem most people experience is that once you sign up and pay, the support disappears. If you have no support, unless you’re an extremely lucky or talented salesperson, you will soon get discouraged, and quit.

Check to see if the company you’re about to affiliate yourself with is one of the top network marketing companies. Put their success to work for you. Do they hold marketing and sales meetings to help pump you for the job? When you work in direct sales, you’re on your own most of the time. You can easily lose heart in your ability to close the sale without someone encouraging you. » Read more: Finding Your Niche With Top Network Marketing Companies
