Thousands of network marketing companies are currently operating and
new ones
sprout up every day.  Unfortunately, most of them will fail.  
Several studies indicate that over 90% of the new network marketing 
companies will fail within the first eighteen months.

Imagine joining one of these ground floor, prelaunch opportunities, 
recruiting some of your friends and family and growing to depend on
your
network marketing income.  After a year of working your business hard
and
building a large network, you're pleased with the nice large checks
that a
rrive each month.  Then one month your check is late.  Rumors start to
fly
that the company is in trouble.  The next month, no check.  Then the
notice
of bankruptcy and all your hard work goes down the drain.  Your reputa
tion is now tarnished with those friends and family who trusted you. 
It's
not a pretty picture.

The moral of the story is don't jump at those start-up companies,
because
most of them are just smoke and mirrors.  No real substance.  After
all,
anyone with a little knowledge of network marketing, a product
distributio
n company, and a computer can start a network marketing company and
many
people do.

If you were going to purchase a franchise or buy a business, what would
you
do?  Investigate the business carefully, wouldn't you?  You'd look at
financials, check the backgrounds of the owners, do a Dun and
Bradstreet ch
eck, call the Better Business Bureau to see if there had been any
complaints,
and talk with people who had done business with the company.  You would
do
your due diligence before you plunked down your hard earned cash.  T
hat's exactly what you should do when selecting a network marketing
company.
At minimum, you want the company to display the following
characteristics:

1. Involved in network marketing for over 2 years.
2. A management team that has the right balance of network marketing   
and
technical experience.
3. Sells products that are consumable and of a higher value than those 
currently available in retail stores or through mail order.
4. Financially sound, debt free, and preferably publicly traded with a 
good history of growth.
5. Less than $50 million in annual wholesale revenues and under 50,000 
distributors.
6. Excellent company supported training and marketing materials.
7. Use of current technology, such as fax-on-demand, audiotext, voice 
mail, internet, etc.
8. All distributors purchase products directly from the company at the 
same price and receive bonus checks based on volume directly from the
company.
9. No large buy in (over $1000), no qualification period, no monthly 
group volume requirements, no breakaway groups, no level limitations, 
and bonuses paid weekly.
10. International growth planned.

If a company meets all of these requirements, you've got yourself a
real
winner, jump on board and ride it all the way to the bank.  If the
company
meets 80% or better, then they are worthy of further investigation.

Choosing the right company can be critical to your success.  Use the 
qualifications above and then take a look at timing. Network marketing 
companies go through several phases of growth.  The best stage is 
Momentum or popular growth.  This is the stage when the company name 
becomes more of a household word.  The best time to get in is about a 
year before Momentum.  How will you know?  Look at the growth pattern.
Network marketing companies generally start into momentum somewhere 
between the 3rd and 5th year at around $4 to 5 million a month.  So,
you want
to join when the company is doing about $3 million a month.  This gives
you
time to build a network and then enjoy the exponential growth of mo
mentum.
