Value of Networking

Over the past decades many have shown much interest in networking with the motive to create another source of income. As much as this is a good drive notwithstanding one would have to understand the fundamentals of Networking to avoid early or later disappointment and any unforeseen losses or challenges. Lets delve a little deeper into what networking is about: its a group of people coming together with a purpose to achieve a common goal. Therefore to fully appreciate the Industry the interest of the people that make up the industry must highly be acknowledged. Whatever system the group are able to agree on must be void of ponzi or pyramid scheme. Where there is a ponzi-scheme it's often the later members who end up loosing their time and money especially in a situation whereby they cannot refer the system becomes a ponzi-scheme because its success or longevity is dependent on new users money to pay those who are already in the system. A system becomes a pyramid-scheme should it hold up higher ranks or levels where user's or members of these ranks depends on the effort of the downline's or member's below them to sustain them at the top ranked positions, this system is often practiced in most cooperate companies but in the Networking Industry either a system that entertains a ponzi or pyramid breaks the ethics of networking. Some of us call it Network-marketing, yet we must know that the marketing industry adopted networking, take away the products there's nothing to talk about. It is just as though engaging people to buy from your pharmacy shop with bonus,compensation or affiliate bonus should they continue to buy from you. But in the Networking industry the major interest of people is not about the products but often what is promised them in the compensation plan, therefore take away the people there's nothing to talk about hence the marketing company thrives on the networking industry (the effort of the people) to stay relevant. Regardless of the nice compensation plan's people who find themselves in these companies are often seen as sales personnel than real Networkers. They are often seen as people buying and selling products with a motive to win some bonus points forgetting the fundamentals of networking yet they are not really interested in the products neither do they want to be classified as sales reps. Most of these wonderful people have joined various networks with the prime objective to achieve the ultimate of the promises in the compensation plan, though it's a good motive, now the question of the century "how many of them has successfully reached the ultimate or can boast of achieving the top rank" ? It's just a hand few. The question of the decade "if any has achieved the top rank how did they get there and whose money is continually use to pay them at that level" ? You can agree with me that there are a hand few of people who have achieved the top rank in each network at the expense of the masses below called generational downlines, the money or benefits associated with these levels is usually a part payment from new signups. Now the question of the day "what then happens should signup or registration on these networks seizes" ? I asked because this form of network marketing systems fully depends on new entrants or new members to keep it going, For how long will the system have to depend on people referring to sustain itself? What happens to the progress of new user's or downlines if they are not able to refer anyone, which is often the case with many of the user's on a particular network. These and many more challenges has been the ailing predicament facing the Networking Industry for many decades because many are those who find themselves in this industry yet do not understand the fundamentals hence broken the ethics of networking. This has led to most failing or not enjoying the true meaning and value of Networking.

In my next article I will reveal the solution to all of these challenges and how the modern day Networker can thrive in this wonderful industry. Stay connected!
