The second question you have to ask is: what is the product?

The second question you have to ask is: what is the product?

There are more question I think you should ask, I'll put a partially list at the end of this article, but from my 20 + years of experience in network marketing, you have to ask only 2 questions.

The first one is where's the money comes from, If you don't know why, read this announcement, you don't have to read it first, you just have to read it soon, so finish reading this one and click the link for the first one, I'll put another link down below, so don't worry :)

Why this question about the product is so important?

Since network marketing is such a great way to make a lot of money, it's attracts all kind of people that want to use it and take advantage and leverage on a great basic system.

Some of them, thinks that you can steal other people money and it's OK and they creating (yes, creating, even today) a pyramid scams or other internet scams based on the idea of network marketing.

And some people are still falling for this honey trap.

The thieves are getting better and better and to the unexperienced person it looks like a dream come true.

Make sure you won't fall into one of this trap.

One major way not to fall into this honey trap is not to join opportunities that exist less than two years.

Most scams don't last this long.

And yes I'll write an article about that too  its name: "how to identify scams"

Some people sell low quality product for a lot of money just to have a product for the so called "network marketing company", but if someone offers you to buy a paper cup for 1000$ and to recruit other people to do the same it's not network marketing company, it's a pyramid scam trying, with very little success, to disguise itself as a legal company.

Other people use network marketing to sell illegal substances like drugs, I'm guessing your goal is not to be a drug dealer and you don't want to be familiar to your local police station from the wrong reasons.

But most common today are to sophisticated compensation programs, no one really understand but almost no one wants to admit it.

With big promises to earn big cash and they are so good at presentation that a lot of people fall for that.

And that's only three excellent reasons to find out what is the product.

Now pay attention, a lot of scams, especially on the internet, says they have a product, but if you can't see it, it's probably doesn't exist.

So be careful because sooner or later (these days it's probably sooner) someone (government, lawyer and such) will shut this company down and you, or people you recruited will lose all or part of yours / theirs money.

If this happens, in the best scenario you will lose money (I'm saying you are paying for a very important lesson, so it's not a total lost, but you can learn it from me, now, free :)

In the worth scenario you will lose money, you will lose friends and you'll be sued by the people you recruited, this is really sucks, big time.

So it's important to 100% be sure you know what is the product, how will the product gets to the buyer, and that's it's value compatible with market price, it can be a little higher than market price or if you can prove it's much better product, it can have much higher price.

But it's all have to be proven 100% with no holes.

For instance: "it's a secret formula" it's a hole in the information, maybe it's some dried parsley Inserted into the capsules and been sold as the best antioxidant on this planet.

Now I'm not saying it's easy to prove it, but if your up-line can't prove it to you, you have to look for the information at other source, preferable with no motive or personal connection to the company or who offers you to join.

The promised list:

Question you should ask before joining in:

1. How much money should I invest on a monthly basis?

2. What kind of help I'm getting

3. Who will help me in the beginning? What qualifies him to give me this help?

4. How many people I need to recruit in order to earn more than I'm investing?

5. How much I should expect to earn after one year? (It's totally depends on you, but if you'll do what need to be done).

6. This is a question you have to ask yourself. Is the amount of money is good enough to make you get up every morning and do actions?

7. Should I keep an inventory of the product at home?

If yes, take under consider that you might stuck with something no one wants.

8. Do I need to be a salesman in order to make new sales each month or is it a subion / auto-ship (subion and auto-ships give stability, stability is very important).

9. If you have to sale the product. Meaning your personal use want qualified you to get the commission. How many clients should I have?

Is this number looks reasonable or you think: I can’t (or don’t want to do it)

10. After how much time I can change my mind and bring back the products I didn't use and get my money back?

11. Can it been done?

If not why? Is the reason reasonable?

12. Dose the product have any contra indications?

If yes, what are they?

13. Have anyone made any kind of study about the product?

If yes, read it.

If you don't know how to asset researches, let someone who dose read it and listen to his / hers opinion.

And actually I can go on and on but I think you understand the concept by now
