  • Best Network Marketing Businesses For Seniors? 3 criteria for you to contemplate

     
    The myth of seniors sitting at home in their rocking chairs is rapidly dissipating, as more and more seniors are becoming entrepreneurs.

    Today’s 60 or 65-year-old is not ready to “retire.” And it looks like the 65, 70, [or even 75 and older] are not retiring either – instead many are becoming entrepreneurs. No sitting at home for these active minds!

    We know that staying active and challenging one’s mind with new tasks are ways to stay healthy as we age. What better way than to join a network marketing business where you are the CEO – a sure way to keep the brain cells active!

    How do you decide which MLM or network marketing company to join and work with? [MLM and network marketing are used interchangeably to describe the same business model.]

    There are 3 important criteria:

    • You must love and use the products.
    • You must like and enjoy being with the people in your network: locally, nationally and worldwide.
    • There must be a good compensation plan.
    1- Loving and using the products.

    When looking at a company you may want to try the products as a consumer before joining as an associate and make sure you love them. Or – you can skip this step if know and trust the person telling you about them – and you know that person uses the products.

    This knowing and trusting leads into the 2nd criteria:

    2- Liking and enjoying the others in your network. 

    Network marketing is a social activity. You have to talk with people and so it keeps one engaged socially as one ages. But it is best for your personal aging if you really enjoy spending time with those in your chosen company.

    Attend a few local meetings about the company and the products to see how much you enjoy chatting with and learning from those in the room. If you do join, you too will bring people to meetings like this and many will become your good friends – so this is an important criteria.

    3 – Make sure the compensation plan is a good one. 

    If you are going to put in your valuable time and energy – make sure you are well paid for your efforts. 

    There are so many variations on compensation plans; you will have to compare one with another and decide what works for you. Often independent sources rate MLM plans and you can look up that information online.

    Extra caveats:

    Don’t fall for the “make money fast” or “get in at the beginning.” Network marketing takes work and a good company will be around for a long time so it will not matter when you join.

    There are more criteria one can look at and I invite you to sign up for emails to learn more about network marketing and how it might be a good fit for you and your aging.

  • The Economy and Us – No Fear Necessary

    The world economic picture is sort of grim right now.  Job losses are increasing.  Banks are closing.  Retirement accounts are getting slimmer and the Social Security increase is going to be approximately a whopping $46 per month per recipient!

    Although newly elected President Obama wants to work on a new stimulus plan when Congress reconvenes…it’s not a sure thing since this is a lame duck Congress and some politicians are, unfortunately, wedded to an obstructionist philosophy.  But it can a time for great opportunity and not a time to fear.  Many businesses do well in this downturn.

    If I might make a suggestion – if you are interested in increasing your monthly income working from home – please look at network marketing companies. Many are great companies.  You must be careful when selecting the one you want to work with – and you must love the products – but if you do that – network marketing works well in a bad economy.

    For example – my own business is taking off right now.  Why?  A fat loss product that is safe and the ability to make money by letting others know about it.  Most of us know people who want to lose weight and so friends and friends of friends are now part of my business.  To be honest I never really tried hard to do this as a serious business.  I’ve been with this company for over 10 years as a customer who loves the products and one who would tell others only when they asked.

    That has now changed.  Maybe it’s the economy and maybe it’s my high energy even after the long campaign season – which I attribute to the new fat loss product.  I now feel comfortable telling others to try it – in a much more direct tone of voice 🙂

    And duh! I get new customers and business partners!

    So look into network marketing for a possible way to not be affected by the economic downturn…You might be pleasantly surprised.

    I am working on a website to talk more about the company with which I am associated.  But if you want info more quickly than I get that up and running…I am reachable by clicking on my complete profile and emailing me from that page.
