The Best of MLM: Network Marketing Optimized
by A. Novoa
 
 
Google adwords ranks "MLM" as one of it's most popular keywords with over 342 hits per day.  What's with that?  Did you know that network marketing has a huge impact on the global economy?
 
Sixty million people are part of the global network marketing industry today.  In the U.S. 15.2 million Americans own and operate their own home based business using network marketing.  Retail sales from network marketing are a staggering $110 billion dollars around the world, more than $32 billion of that sold in the U.S.
 
Network marketing turns the dream of owning a successful business into your reality.
Millions of families earn enough from network marketing to make their car payments, pay their mortgages, go on expensive vacations and earn a very comfortable living right from their own home. You can be one of these entreprenuers, running your own business from your kitchen table or from a guest bedroom/home office.
 
Unlike an Investment franchise in which a very large fee only buys you the right to use a business's name, network marketing startup costs are tiny or none at all. Wouldn't you like to own and operate a home based business with unlimited earning potential?  This, however, is not a get rich quick scheme.  Like any business, what you put in to it is what you get out of it.  But unlike many traditional small businesses, your initial efforts at the start can quickly mulitply and explode into a money making machine.  The trick is to take the time to build a strong foundation.
 
"What if I don't like direct sales
and can't stand the thought
of selling to my friends and family?"
 
I’ve researched over many network marketing businesses, the majority of which all required direct selling. In fact, I can guarantee you that if it has to do with nutrition, health and wellness, direct sales is a given.  It’s a well known fact that selling to your family and friends through home parties or by harassing them until they agree to place an order or attend an “opportunity meeting”, is a great way to shoot yourself in the foot.
 
Escape International is for those who don't want to sell anything.  With Escape, all you do is give it away Aisle19 to anyone and everyone whom you want to help.  You're helping them find a way to save money online, earn cash back on all their purchases, and also earn commissions by telling their freinds.  Because it's all free, it's easy to duplicate.  You all save money, you all earn cash back, and those who sign up as IBO can now own their own money making business.
 
Many network marketers are stuck in the stone age. Their told to buy product packs, pay enrollment fees, meet monthly quotas, buy leads, make cold calls, push product on friends and family. I can tell you that these tactics will quickly backfire on you and ruin your relationships. All the while, you’re striving to break even, never mind make a decent profit. Is it any wonder that these types of businesses have high turnover rates? Maybe you’ve gone through something like this.
 
Finally, A Better Way to Conduct Business

This begs the question, “don’t all network marketing businesses sell product?” Most do, but not all.
 
Look, there's tons of research out there that proves network marketing is a viable method of earning money from your home.  Done right, it is one of the few ways that literally generates major dollars by multiplying your efforts down the line.  This is a great way to earn a solid income far beyond the nine to five method. 
 
But what if you're like me and shun the idea of direct sales?  I shudder at the thought of approaching someone for the sole purpose of selling them something.  So began my quest, is there a solid MLM network marketing company out there where I don't have to sell anything and still earn money?  I knew it was a tall order but I was willing to put in the time.  t took me a while to find it. That’s why I’m telling you about it.

There is at least one honest to goodness MLM network marketing company out there for those of us who have an aversion to selling anything. I’ve spent hours, days, weeks and months researching many different network marketing claims. Then I decided to set up a web site with my findings and “no nonsense” truth about each one in the form of a comparative directory and a collection informative articles. Call it the “consumers report” of MLM plans.

The best network marketing business plan belongs to Escape International. It reigns as number one so far. Founded in 2001, this company is just starting to rev it’s engines on the internet. In 2007, the company made the list of top 500 most promising home businesses listed in Inc. Magazine.

Their service is Aisle19.com, an online discount shopping mall that lets you shop from most of the same online stores you already shop at but with a difference. Here are the basics.

When you go through the Aisle19 portal, your favorite stores now give you cash back on all of your purchases ranging from .05% to 5% or more. Aisle19.com is a free service that everyone can use. There’s no membership fee, no purchase limits, no expiration dates or anything like that. It really is free.

A Fair and Balanced Business Plan
Independent Business Owner earn commissions on the total purchases of those whom they invite to use Aisle19.com. To keep track of each Independent Business Owner's consumers and down-line, accessing the online portal is by invitation only using the Business Owner’s ID number. Signing up as an Independent Business Owner is also free. It’s very easy to use and explain to others. I’ve had very positive feedback so far.

This company's business plan is designed in such a simple and easy way that there’s no pressure to sell anything. Instead, you just give it all away. Some of you may be interested in signing up to the business end of it, others just want to shop and get the discounts and cash back. Either way, everyone wins.

The consumer wins because they receive cash back and special online discounts shopping where they normally shop online. The Independent Business Owner wins because in addition to his/her own cash back, they also receive 10% of the purchases of those he/she has invited. Everyone is looking for ways to earn cash and save some money along the way, right? Well, I just handed you one.

A Profitable Business Arrangement
I wondered how this company is making any money at all. So I spoke with the East Coast regional manager, John Costino. Basically, retailers pay Escape commissions for every online shopper that goes through Aisle19.com. By promoting Aisle19, they are pointing shoppers to the retailer's site stores. As incentive to shoppers, these retailers offer Aisle19 consumers cash back incentives and special discounts.

There are over 600 major retailers including Macy's, Sears, Walmart, Home Depot, Old Navy, Best Buy, Verizon etc. These are not unknown mom and pop stores. They are retailers you are already well acquainted with but if you do not go through Aisle19 you will not receive the same online discounts or cash back.

My research on this company is fairly extensive, I've provided you with a basic overview. To find out how you can access Aisle19.com or if would like to read the Full Report.  While visiting this site be sure to check out the MLM Plan Directory that lets you easily compare the most popular network marketing plans advertised online today all in one place.
