The average person has personally encountered many of them, and may have even participated in several network marketing opportunities. We are in an era where anyone can start his or her own business with a very small out of pocket investment. That’s a problem.

When there are too many opportunities on the playing field, people become overwhelmed by all of the choices, and they become confused about what they really want for themselves. Through the media, people are inundated with countless business opportunities. Television, email, internet, and the radio bombard us with multitudes of opportunities. If we are not careful, we can become sidetracked and lose focus on our main network marketing business.

In order to be ready to dismiss all of these distracting opportunities, we have to be clear about our priorities. Here are some ways to recognize distracting threats.

- It may take months or in some case several years of hard work in one network marketing opportunity before you can get fantastic results or earn a residual income. It’s like going to school. How long did it take you to get your diploma or degree? If you are thinking of ‘trying something new’, then you need to make sure you are prepared to invest at least one year into your new business. Otherwise, you are just going to be wasting your time, until another business catches your eye and distracts you yet again.

- You are going to risk your reputation if you are constantly distracted by the next big thing. Remember, when you talk to your friends about network marketing, they are observing you and your commitment to your business. They are looking at you, trying to figure out if you are going to stick with this business for a while. If you constantly change network marketing opportunity businesses, you are going to be judged by your friends and family members. The last thing you want is for them to talk about you, saying, "I could tell she/he wasn’t really that committed… thank goodness I never joined in on that business."

- You can’t do a million things at once and do them all well. It’s a great idea to expand your horizons and try new things until you find what fits you best. However, you are not going to get good returns in anything if you try everything all at once. You can’t devote the hard work needed to get results. This applies especially to people who dabble in more than one network marketing opportunity.

At the end of the day, you have to have a focus, and recognize that your network marketing is your vehicle to success. Don’t build a network marketing business just because you want to be in business - build your business because you have goals, and you need to do whatever it takes to get the results.

Sometimes, knowing what you want is not enough. Network marketing companies, as whole, takes a bad wrap. There are plenty of great network companies out there to choose from, but there are also a few things to avoid before selecting a company you wish to work for.

1. Does the Sponsor’s nose begin to grow as he talks about his company?

When choosing a company, you will be in communication with someone who will sponsor you. There is a lot of hype involved with some of the pitch, sometimes. A sponsor will want you in his downline because you are an investment. Empty promises are something to look out for. If your sponsor can not do anything but talk the talk, then avoid the company or find someone else in the company to sponsor you.

A good sponsor will run the business based on integrity and honesty. Being a good sponsor means that everyone is the sponsor’s downline gets full support and commitment from him or her. A good sponsor might talk a mile a minute and be enthusiastic about the company, but will not lie to you. Great sponsors will command the respect of the company and network under them.

If you are in doubt as to the integrity of a particular sponsor, ask to communicate directly with some of his downline team. If the sponsor puts you off, then move on. This would indicate that the sponsor has something to hide.

2. Does the company sound too good to be true?

In the network marketing industry, many companies seem to spring up overnight with the best laid compensation plans and products in the whole world. Wouldn’t it be nice to become a millionaire overnight?

If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Consider that many network marketing companies fold up within a couple of years. It would put you into a state of shock if one morning you went online to find your company was simply gone. All the time and commitment you put into your business would be gone very suddenly.

If you stick with companies that have survived for more than four years, then you are dealing with companies that are doing almost everything right. Network marketing is a great way to make a lot of money, but the newer companies are a risk.

3. Should you go with a company that says It’s our way or the highway?

Finding a good company that is about duplicating good solid methods for success is one thing, but a company that insists everyone is imitating everyone else spells disaster.

There are many great Internet techniques that can generate great leads and sales for you to learn. Duplicating these techniques will ensure you a good income, but if you are not encouraged to be independent with some of your own twist on things, it will discourage any creative input you might have.

4. Again, with bad sponsors…

Yes, again with bad sponsors. If you have verified and clarified everything with your sponsor, then join and find out the sponsor is not accessible to you, get out or find another sponsor. Life is too short to wait around for someone who makes promises but won’t deliver.

5. What is your gut telling you?

The pitch has you dizzy with dollar signs in your head, but the company is brand new. Pay close attention to what your natural instincts are trying to tell you. Do not jump into something because you can’t see past the dollar signs that are floating in front of your eyes!

There are many different network marketing companies out there, and with just a little bit of research, you already know that they are definitely not created equal. Inevitably, the question occurs- how can you select the best network marketing company that will suit your needs. Ask yourself some of the questions below, and make sure that you choose carefully!

1. Do you like what this network marketing company is selling?

It might feel that this is somewhat redundant, but it is the truth. You will always have a better time selling something that you like, instead of something that you don’t. Find a product that you can really get behind, with a company philosophy that appeals to you. Your time is too valuable to waste selling things that you don’t like, don’t need and cannot get behind. If necessary, purchase some of the products first, merely as a customer, to figure out what you are getting involved in.

2. What are they going to pay you?

The compensation plan is the next thing that you should look at. Remember that your time is precious and that you will want to be compensate for it. Look for a network marketing opportunity that will pay out in residual income and can help you get a payout of at least 30% of the payment from the objects that you sell. Make sure that you know how the compensation plan is set up, and where your money is coming from.

3. How much does the company help?

When you are getting started, how much training can the network marketing company give you? Do you have a mentor who will guide you along, or are you on your own when it comes to figuring out how everything works While some companies will hold your hand every step of the way, other companies will simply cut you lose with a training brochure and call it good. Furthermore, even some companies that offer good training when you first get signed on will balk at helping you with troubleshooting in tricky spots later on, so make sure that you are comfortable with the amount of support that they will provide.

4. How well is this company regarded?

You can learn a lot just by getting online and doing a little bit of research on the company in question. What do you see when you Google the company’s name? Are you seeing positive reviews and satisfied representatives, or are you seeing angry people who want to get their money back. While you should always take very strongly worded reviews with a grain of salt, remember that a company’s reputation should be solid, and that if you see a lot of angry people that this might a company to pass on. Remember to do your research before you sign on with any company.
