One critical component of successful network marketing involves joining both the right company and the right upline. If the product you are attempting to sell is inferior, uncompetitive, or oversaturated, you will have a considerably tougher time than you would with a highly competitive product in a relatively untouched market.
But finding the right product poses a challenge. If the product is not your own, you will have to find a business that has a network sales structure. Otherwise, you will only be able to sell the product as an affiliate for commissions, rather than recruiting other people to do that for you.
Currently, there are a number of health-oriented companies that have such network sales structures. Specifically, vitamins and health-testing products often have network structures. Additionally, many as-seen-on-TV products have network structures. Many of these products also have large enough markets, so that selling shouldn't be an issue.
Now, once you have selected a solid company with a good product, your next step is to actually select the best upline. In some cases, there will be a specific benefit to having someone under you in a given upline. For instance, some networking structures put all new members under older members, so all those who join after a certain period of time, earn a percentage of commissions off of those who join later. If this is the case with your selected product, by choosing a good upline, you are also choosing to position yourself well to earn from all of the people your upline recruits.
So keep these two things in mind when selecting a new opportunity: find both the best business and the best upline for what you want to sell. Combining the two will significantly increase your leverage when building your new marketing network.
