</P>

<P>Here is some information I have gathered on the often misunderstood
industry of Network Marketing. If you are serious about owning your own
business of any sort, or if you think that Network Marketing is some sort
of 'Illegal Pyramid Scam', please read on.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>Enlightment vs. En-dark-enment</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>The most fundamental fact of life in our world today is change. As a
rule, people are reluctant to change. We resist it, we like to stay within
our comfort zone of what is known and accepted by most. THIS IS HUMAN NATURE.
But it's true that what you resist will persist, especially when you resist
a better method whose time has come.</P>

<P>In almost every field of endeavor, the arts, sciences, medicine, and
business, most new ideas have always met with resistance and rejection
at first. The more unique and revolutionary the idea, the louder and stronger
the opposition to it.</P>

<P>People have always been afraid and even ignorant about ideas and methods
that may result in change. Fear of change caused ridicule of Christopher
Columbus, Louis Pasteur, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. There are other
examples of how fear of change had effects of progress.</P>

<P>In the 1800's, people bought what they needed at small, family owned
shops. Then a man named W.T. Grant had an idea that created change. What
if we combined all these separate, little shops by making them individual
departments under one roof, in one large store? A new and better way of
doing things. Customers loved it.</P>

<P>The individual merchants who owned the 'old-fashioned' retail stores
saw their businesses decline. The shop keepers fought back politically.
There were thousands of them with thousands of votes, and they lobbied
for their right to do things the same old way. They finally got the local
and state governments to outlaw Grant's department stores. Eventually,
Grant's department store won out. If there is a better way, it will persist.</P>

<P>In the early 1960's franchising was a revolutionary new technology in
business, and it was also met with resistance. Newspapers and magazines
wrote what a scam and rip-off franchising was. Stories of people who lost
their life savings to some franchise were everywhere. There was a strong
move to make franchising illegal. In fact, franchising actually came within
11 votes of being outlawed by Congress.</P>

<P>Today this so-called scam is responsible for over 34 percent of all
retail sales in North America. Franchises sell nearly 800 billion dollars
worth of goods and services today. Every industry goes through an evolution
similar to this. Chiropractors were considered quacks in the 1970's, the
stock market was considered shady and a form of gambling, and the first
newspaper in British North America, the 'Public Occurrence', was suppressed
by the governor of Massachusetts. Now, we almost can't do without these
industries.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>The Pioneers</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>Like all powerful concepts, Network Marketing has also met resistance
due to a lack of understanding. There is no mystery to Network Marketing.
It's just another form of sales and distribution. Network Marketing is
50 years young. In the early 1940's a company by the name of California
Vitamins recognized that all their new sales representatives coming aboard
were friends and family of their existing sales force, primarily because
they wanted the product at wholesale cost. They also discovered that it
was easier to create a sales force of a lot of people who each sold a small
amount of product than it was to find a few superstars who could sell a
lot of products.</P>

<P>So they combined those two ideas and designed a sales compensation structure
that encouraged their salespeople to invite new representatves from satisfied
customers, most of whom were family and friends, who each had the same
right to offer the product and representative status to others. This allowed
the sales force to grow exponentially. The company rewarded them for the
sales produced by their entire group or network of sales representatives.
Network Marketing was born! A few years later, the company changed its
name to NutraLite Food Supplement Corporations.</P>

<P>In 1956, NutraLite was joined in Network Marketing by Dr. Forrest Shaklee
to gain a broader distribution of the food supplements he had developed.</P>

<P>Not long after, in 1959, former NutraLite distributors Rich DeVoss and
Jay Van Andel started the Amway company as the &quot;American Way&quot;
of marketing products. Like many truly innovative break-throughs, the development
of true network marketing was an accident.</P>

<P>Abuses of exponential growth haunted network marketing for years as
it is still misunderstood today. One of the first abuses of the concept
of exponential growth to generate income may have been the chain letter
craze that swept the U.S. after World War 1. The letters promised great
profit if you would send a dime or a dollar to the person at the bottom.</P>

<P>The chain letters spread as far a Europe, and by the 1930's the U.S.
post office estimated that 10 million letters were being mailed each day.
Postal Authorities and law enforcement agencies battled the fraudulent
schemes and the chain letter phenomenon began to subside in the early 1940's.
Unfortunately, this scam spawned schemes which came to be known as pyramids,
where money was given for the right to involve others, as no valid product
was being purchased from the company.</P>

<P>In 1974, Senator Walter Mondale declared such companies to be the nation's
number one consumer fraud.</P>

<P>Law enforcement agencies moved quickly to clean up the abuses. In the
mid 1970's, with no clear understanding of what constituted a legitimate
use of network marketing, the Federal Trade Commission and state agencies
across the nation turned their eyes to almost all network marketing companies.
In 1975, the FTC filed suit against Amway, alleging that the company was
an illegal pyramid and that its refusal to sell its products in retail
stores constituted a restraint of trade.</P>

<P>Amway spent four years and millions of dollars in legal fees to clear
its name. In 1979 the FTC ruled that Amway was not a pyramid, that its
revenue was generated from the sale of its products, and the FTC acknowledged
network marketing as a legal and efficient distribution system. Network
marketing exploded in the next decade.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>Who's Involved in Network Marketing?</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>Today there are thousands of Network Marketing companies operating throughout
the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, the United Kingdom, Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan and the Pacific Basin. Little Malaysia
alone has more than 800 active Network Marketing companies. Network Marketing
is reported to be a $45 billion dollar industry, internationally, made
up of FORTUNE 500 and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) companies.</P>

<P>In 1993, Amway was the fastest growing foreign company in Japan with
sales of $1 billion. Discovery Toys markets their products solely by Network
Marketing, with sales figures in excess of $100 million. Sprint, MCI and
AT&amp;T make their long distance phone service available throught Network
Marketing companies. The A.L. Williams Company utilized Network Marketing
and astounded the insurance industry by outselling Prudential, a 'giant'
in the industry, in four short years. Town and Country, North America's
largest jewelry manufacturer, indicates that based on its purchases, Jewelway
is the fastest growing retailer of fine jewelry in North America.</P>

<P>Traditional sales method companies such as Colegate-Palmolive and the
Gillette Company have Network Marketing subsidiaries. Rexall Drug is now
utilizing the Network Marketing method of distribution with its subsidiary,
Rexall Showcase. Network Marketing companies such as Melaleuca outperformed
Liz Claiborne, The Limited and John Paul Mitchell while Nu Skin bested
the likes of Maybelline, Dow Chemical and Matrix. Mary Kay is bigger than
Johnson &amp; Johnson, Amway is bigger than Revlon, and Avon is bigger
than Estee Lauder. Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart is quoted as saying,
'I'd rather run a profitable business in an unconventional industry than
an unprofitable business in a conventional industry.'</P>

<P>Network Marketing has evolved in other ways, as well. Companies that
began as direct selling companies are now utilizing network marketing compensation
plans. Some examples include Avon, the $3 billion cosmetic giant, Watkins
Products, which had been direct selling for nearly 100 years before it
converted to network marketing, and Encyclopedia Britanica.</P>

<P>One reason for the decline of direct selling is that beginning in the
1970's, distributors making calls on people found that no one was home.
Women, long standing as the customer backbone of direct sales, had entered
the workforce, leaving few at home during the day. Companies watching these
societal trends moved quickly to revise their marketing plans to network
marketing, which allows for more informal methods of sales and greater
compensation.</P>

<P>Network Marketing Companies have actually pioneered entire industires:
natural vitamin supplements, nutrition and diet drinks, concentrated and
environmentally friendly household cleaners. One network marketing company
almost single-handedly created the billion dollar home water filtration
business.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>The Company Wins, Too</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>Why are so many companies utilizing network marketing as their chosen
method of marketing? Simply stated, <B>it's more efficient!</B> They do
not pay for marketing, distibution or sales until <U>after</U> the sale
is made and the product is delivered. Compare that to traditional marking
where a company can spend millions of dollars on advertising, as well as
all costs associated with an employee based sales force, such as benefits,
support staff, communication, travel and office, before any product is
sold. Charles Givens, financial expert and best selling author of <I>Wealth
Without Risk</I>, points out that 80 percent of the cost of getting a product
to consumers today is the result of marketing expenses. Companies are looking
to move their cost as close to the point of sale as possible. Network Marketing
companies relace traditional advertising and marketing costs with sales
commissions to the independent, paid <U>after</U> the product is sold.</P>

<P><I>Advertising Age</I> magazine states that the recommendatioin from
a friend isthe most powerful form of advertising; that is what Network
Marketing is all about.</P>

<P>The changing workplace has demonstrated that there is no security in
the traditional corporate structure and career path. In the United States
over 3,100 jobs are lost each day due to downsizing. Automation and technological
advances are streamlining business and changing entire industries. Millions
of people will be out of work searching for the same kinds of jobs their
former employers just eliminated, in another company that just hasn't yet
streamlined. This is postponing the inevitable; In fact, 47 percent of
the companies that made up the Fortune 500 in 1980 are no longer in operation
today, which represents a net loss of more than 5 million jobs!</P>

<P>Technological advances affect the workforces of entire industries. One
example is the vinyl record business. In 1985, vinyl records supported
a $24 billion a year industry. Today it is all but extinct, having been
replaced with producers of cassette tapes and compact discs. The steel
and copper industries have suffered with the advent of new plastics and
alloys. The fuctions computers are able to execute have caused the replacement
of millions of workers. Robotic technology similarly has taken its toll
in the workplace. One robot can replace twenty human workers and extinguishes
the need for companies to pay exorbitant amounts in employee benefits.
Man Power Inc., a temporary service, is now one of the largest employers
in the world because companies are finding it less expensive to hire temporary
employees and thereby avoid paying benefits to permanent employees.</P>

<P>There is no security in the changing workplace. Network Marketing on
a part-time effort can provide a financial cushion of residual income to
protect oneself from such events. A recent <I>Wall Street Journal</I> survey
found that 80 percent of the workforce want to own their own business and
40 percent surveyed would like to work at home. This is exactly what network
marketing provides. People are searching for ways to build a future that
develops leadership and provides a balance in their lives for their families
and each other, without sacrificing their sanity in the process.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>How Does It Work?</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>In network marketing, you share information and develop personal and
professional contacts. You are rewarded for sharing informatioin that results
in product sales. Network Marketing empowers you to build your own networking
sales organization from your personal and professional contacts, which
also empowers everyone to do the same, creating exponential growth of your
network. You can earn income from the successful efforts of your network
of business associates. Unlike conventional Corporations with one chief
executive at the top, in Network Marketing everyone is the CEO of his or
her own independent organization.</P>

<P>A network marketing company supplies the product. Then they join in
partnership with w network of independent representatives, each one in
business for themselves. The company takes care of the research and development,
finances, management, public relations, production, warehousing, packaging,
quality control, administration, shipping, data processing, the accounting
and payment of prepesentative sales commission checks.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>Cooperation vs. Competition</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>One of the reasons for the success of Network Marketing in the 1990's
is that is is based on cooperation, <I>not</I> competition. Unlike in traditional
business, career adbvancement in network marketing comes directly from
helping to create success with those that you introduce to the company.
Network Marketing is sharing information that results in product sales.
People involve themselves because they want to finally be compensated for
what their efforts are really worth. They're involved because somebody
cared enough about them to show them the awesome opportunity of network
marketing. They get involved because they were ready to make a change.
<HR><BR>
<B><U><BLINK>Why Hasn't the Truth About Network Marketing Been Told?</BLINK></U></B></P>

<P>People resist change and are fearful of what is not fully understood.
People are comfortable with what is known and accepted by most.</P>

<P>The truth is that most people in power today have an overriding fear
of the loss of their own power. Network Marketing is about empowerment
of the individual.</P>

<P>Is it really your best interest they have at heart? Remember what heppened
with W.T. Grant, franchising, and the first newspaper? How most new concepts
have always met with resistance and rejection at first?</P>

<P>Newspapers, magazines, radio and television earn their primary profits
from their advertisers. Is it in the media's best interest to say anything
positive about an industry that does not advertise? Do you suppose major
traditional marketing companies that are receiving increased competition
from network marketing companies are excited? Whose side do you suppose
the media would take to protect their advertising dollar?</P>

<P>A few years ago a network marketing company that sold personal care
products became the attention of the media and several state Attornet Generals.
Their sales were approaching $500 million dollars. These sales were being
taken away from companies such as Revlon, Max Factor, Estee Lauder, and
others in the health and beauty aids industry. Do you believe the competition
were pleased with the success of a network marketing company that was not
spending multi-millions of dollars on advertising as they had traditionally
done? Furthermore, network marketing companies were bypassing the department
stores and malls and going direct to the consumer's living rooms with sharing,
caring sevice and time-saving convenience. What if you were one of the
brokers. retailers, wholesalers, media people or any other person whose
job or businesses were being threatened because network marketing was a
new and better way of doing things? What would you do?</P>

<P>If you had a friend in the State Attorney General's office would you
call them? If you or your company had contributed to any industry lobbyist,
political action committee or had media contacts might they be contacted
too? What if, in fact, your job were in jeopardy either as the V.P. of
Sales or as one of the executive staff who might have to answer to stockholders
and explain why your market share was being taken away by some network
marketing company and your position, your power and your income were at
stake? Do you suppose these strategies are ever used against a competitor?
How many votes do you suppose an Attorney General would risk by focusing
on a network marketing company that employed many people and paid a great
amount of local and state taxes - in a different state?</P>

<P>Just as in any business or industry, there are scams and schemes that
hurt the industry image. Real estate has had its scams, banking, savings
and loans have had their improprieties, ministries have had abuses for
self-serving purposes, the stock market had its insider trading scandals,
and so on. So why should network marketing be any different?</P>

<P>Look at the company, the product, its management and their past history.
Understand the commitment that is necessary to achieve success and residual
income. This advice is just as valid in network marketing as in anything
else.</P>

<P>Network Marketing Sales is not tought at Harvard Business School, not
Stanford, nor other colleges and universities. Why not? Because network
marketing is a powerful alternative to the conventional college and career
path. We're the 'alternatives' or competition. Network Marketing Sales
is just not a worthy subject - it's too simple! You can teach the fundamentals
of this business in a single afternoon.</P>

<P>There are many myths about the industry of network marketing and the
companies involved. Even though many recognized traditional companies have
started subsidiaries, such as Gillette and Colgate-Palmolive, Rexall and
thousands of other companies are using network marketing as their preferred
method of distribution, creating sales of approximately $45 billion dollars.
It is often stated that Coca Cola, Goodyear, IBM, Firestone, and General
Motors are involved in network marketing with their own divisions. Actually,
these companies are <U>suppliers</U> of products to companies that utilize
network marketing. MCI, U.S. Sprint, and AT&amp;T supply long distance
service to network marketing companies that are rebillers.</P>

<P>Network Marketing is the new way to financial freedom. You will never
create residual income and freedom from the traditional job. Even professionals
are trading their time for money; if they are not seeing clients or patients,
they are not getting paid. Most income is temporary and it is easy to determine
if your income is temporary - just stop working for 90 days. If your income
stops or slows down, you have temporary income.</P>

<P>In network marketing you can stop trading time for money. Once you develop
a solid network of sales representatives, you will create ongoing residual
income. This can give you the freedom to do what you want when you want
to.</P>

<P>It's interesting how resistant we are to change. We want to stay in
our comfort zones even when we're miserable.</P>

<P>It has been said network marketing is the next step in the evolution
of free enterprise. But there is one thing we can always be assured of:
the most fundamental fact of life in our world today is that change is
inevitable!
<HR><BR>
</P>

<P>I hope that this has provided you with a good insight of the incredible
power of network marketing and cleared up any misconceptions you may have
had. I was once very skeptical myself. There was no way on earth I was
going to involve myself with one of those 'pyramids'. Well, needless to
say, I took a serious look at it and realized how silly I was being to
judge something that I knew nothing about. I have since grown to love the
concept of network marketing and the opportunity for freedom (both time
and financial) that it creates. I know for a fact that the right product
combined with the right company combined with network marketing creates
a tremendous success.<BR>
