Recent gollege grad students looking for a job this year don’t need a dismal report from the National Bureau of Economic Research to tell them the United States is officially suffering through a recession. They’re living it.

A recent report by the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State paints an especially troubling picture for those who will graduate this school year.

As the job market gets worse, it affects a wider range of people as skilled workers push less-skilled workers out of the running for lower-level jobs.

The unemployment rate for college graduates is typically about half the rate of the overall population. But in October, it was up by more than half a percentage point — to 3.1 percent nationally for grads over age 25.

Where are recent college grads finding an abundance of opportunities?

 “Starting a business in MLM and Direct Sales”, says Brent Vanderstelt of Fortune Hi Tech Marketing, a direct sales opportunity which offers products and services from Fortune 500 companies, such as Dish Network, Sprint, Verizon, Travelocity, GE Home Security and 20 other products.

There are many great reasons and real life experiences gained from starting any business, but MLM and direct sales offers the least expensive option. Choosing to start a business is a step that exudes confidence, planning and optimism and requires a certain amount of skill, including networking, management, sales, time-management, planning and money management.

Even if you start a business as a part time enterprise, the simple fact that you’ve taken that step speaks volumes about you as a person. Take a look at these benefits:

Small amount of risk: There is a certain amount of inherited risk involved when you become an entrepreneur, but with a MLM or direct sales business your loses can be limited to just a few hundred dollars.

The income potential: There is no cap on how much money you can generate. In my corporate jobs, my big limitation was that regardless how hard I worked for these companies; my income was tied to a “market standard” for someone with my skills.

Residual income: I am sure that you pay your gas, your electricity, and your phone bill every single month. These are the types of services that for the most part provide an ongoing stream of residual income for these companies.

Taxes: As a small business owner you can take advantage more than 12 tax reduction strategies to lower your tax liability. Don’t think of taxes as a burden, but an opportunity to partner with the government to help your business grow.

Enjoyment: You have immiadiately have a career in MLm and direct sales. You will not have to sit through dozens of interviews with countless number of job seekers. Your can climb the corporate ladder” with your own business and make more money working for yourself than working for “the man”.

Growth: Personal growth is an area that many small business owners don’t realize they have entered. Hardly anyone is an expert in their field from the get go, so starting a business allows you to grow your skills.

Skills that you grow don’t have to be limited to your business area. You’re going to pick up other skills like public speaking, decision-making and other soft skills.

Community/Networking: You found your way to this site, which is an extended community. You can also find your way to other communities whether they are online or offline. As a small business owner you have something in common with a larger group of people.  

Direct selling is a growing industry.
Sales in the U.S. have more than doubled in the last decade to more than $30 billion and are now more than $100 billion worldwide.

People from literally all walks of life, of all ages, are successful in direct sales. About 75 percent of those working in direct sales are women, 10 percent are African American, six percent are Latino and three percent are Asian, Native American or other. Many people start part-time, and later leave their other careers when direct selling becomes more lucrative.

Anyone can do it.
There are no required levels of education, experience, financial resources or physical condition.
People of all ages and from all backgrounds have succeeded in direct selling.

Direct sellers are independent contractors. You’re your own boss, which means you can:

• Work part-time or full-time – you choose when and how much you want to work.
• Set your own goals and determine yourself how to reach them.
• Earn in proportion to your own efforts. The level of success you can achieve is limited only by your willingness to work hard.
• Own a business of your own with very little or no capital investment.
• Receive training and support from an established company.

As a home party consultant and direct sales consultant for a home party plan or direct sales company, it is rather important that you learn how to market your business, find recruits and hostesses, because  Home Party Business is booming, just ask Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world and oh by the way he own three home party companies e.g., Pampered Chef!

Marketing through home parties and home party sales has been be identified as one of the most effective methods of marketing with business opportunity companies.
Home party companies place many restrictions on their home party consultants and direct sales reps. when it comes to marketing!  And yet many are seeing wonderful results

But what separates the struggling, frustrated, heartbroken, cash-poor Home Party Plan Business Owner and direct sales consultants from the confident, pink Cadillac driving, white Mercedes Benz owning, obviously clued-in home party plan marketers pulling in huge numbers and results (EVEN in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy)?

(No, wait ESPECIALLY in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy). While average home party business owners are cowering in bed with the covers pulled over their head the top home party sales representatives are still fearlessly bringing home the bacon, even as everyone else panics and freaks out!

Have you ever wondered how the top earners in your direct sales home party company got to be so successful while you struggle every day to build your organization? 

I can tell you this:

It’s not because they’re any smarter than you are
They don’t work any harder (in fact, they work LESS)
And it’s not because they’ve spent thousands of dollars on high priced
seminars (although I highly recommend you attend the ones I hold and I
they will be reasonably priced ?)

The reason behind their success, get this, is the fact that they implement a system!  I know seems so simple huh!

Home Party Marketing Tip: Create Systems That Will Do The Bulk Of The Work

I practically famous for this quote:

“95% of people fail when they start a business without a system.

95% percent of people are successful when they start a business with a system!
- Entrepreneur Magazine

A system constitutes a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network. It spells:

S-ave
Y-our
S-elf
T-ime &
E-nergy
M-oney

If your home party plan system involves the 3-foot rule, list of 100 or more, hotel meetings, 3-ways, everyone with a pulse is your prospect, then repeat after me: time to re-group!  Those are all methods, functions and/or processes, not systems.

Systems are able to run with very little human involvement.  Think about all the systems in your body.  Do you have to manually pump your heart to get it to force blood to the rest of your body?  As I’m typing this report, I don’t have to think about the position of my fingers on the keyboard, or lifting them up and down.  My nervous system takes care of that for me.  Think about how long it would take to create this eBook without the assistance of the systems in my body.  Hint:  you wouldn’t be reading it right now!

Just like your body, your home parties business needs systems to function, grow and defend itself from outside forces that mean harm.  So get a system and put it to use right now!

And I belive I have just the thing for you, The Little Black Of Home Party  Plan Marketing Success is system like none other, provides tips on how to generate ongoing  home party sales and some of the best ways to promote yor home partys business!

Additionally you get Home Party Plan & Direct Sales Marketing And Training all in one place!  Isn’t it about time you create a cash flow?

I’ve seen the habit to only look at direct competition when taking a look at the marketplace.

Keeping a good eye on the competition, keeping track of all postcard printing campaigns they send out, is going to be part of any successful marketing plan, but who exactly is the competition and who really needs to be watched? It would appear that anyone in your industry is going to be the ones to watch out for, and to an extent this is true, but don’t think that they’re the only ones that are going to be challenging you.

These companies are your direct competition. Anyone directly competing for the exact same customers or who offer a similar service is going to be your direct competition. My guess is that most companies are well aware of their direct competition, but who are you indirectly competing against?

These are the companies who are getting similar marketing or other advertising material done that you are. Consider if you’re getting color postcard printing done every other company out there who are also getting that same postcard printing.

Each time you send out a postcard your customers are going to be sorting through a large pile of mail that might be filled with quite a few postcards. Are they going to diligently look through every single postcard in that pile? That’s extremely unlikely. I know I often only look at a few postcards while throwing out all of the others. The ones I look at are the most interesting ones in the pile, and a really good custom postcard is going to overshadow the other postcards, and make me less likely to look at them.

The same is true for brochures, for posters, or for any other marketing you’re doing. You have to be certain that you know what as many companies are doing as possible. If you’re noticing too many companies sending out postcards you might want to hold off on yours for a while. The more saturated a market is with marketing material the harder it will be for yours to be seen and do what it’s supposed to.

Obviously sometimes you just won’t have much of a choice and you’ll just have to send out your marketing material no matter how many other people are doing things. My point isn’t to say that you need to completely change your plans depending on other companies, but you should still be aware of it. Eventually you might end up changing things a little, or improving your marketing to stay ahead and get your material noticed.

Don’t let yourself be fooled into thinking that direct competition is all you have to worry about. In a society as filled with marketing material as ours is, you have a lot of stiff competition to be aware of. Don’t let this scare you away from throwing your hat into the ring, but rather look at it as a chance to make your company that much better, and make your marketing material as good as it can possibly be.

Network Marketing is often maligned because of the relentless nature of some of the adherents, but nevertheless Network Marketing provides an equal opportunity for people to own their own business with what is actually a strongly ethical business model.

Regardless of means, anyone can be successful with network marketing and since many people start a network marketing business part time, while still working a regular job, it is it a great leveler in the business world.

Multi Level Marketing (MLM), also known as Network Marketing, is a business-distribution model that allows a parent company to market its products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and direct selling.

More and more companies are looking at Network marketing as a means of promoting new and innovative products and for some it is a great way to start building a substantial income for themselves with very little capital.

Worldwide network marketing is forecast to continue growing exponentially for several decades. Fortune magazine called direct selling (of which network marketing is the largest segment) the best kept secret in the business world.

Well known billionaire Warren Buffet, after purchasing a network marketing company, called it the best investment he had ever made.

In recent years, the phenomenal growth of the internet has been a driving force in the success of network marketing. Using well designed websites and online network marketing to leverage time and effort, combined with good old fashioned personal networking can produce residual income lasting for years and even indefinitely.

With the growth in the aged population, more and more health companies are offering products to try and take advantage of the relative wealth of the Baby Boomers, However, anyone looking at getting into network marketing of health products needs to look carefully at a number of facets of the business:

1. The first thing anyone looking at network marketing must ask is: How difficult is it to demonstrate that these products actually work? In virtually all cases the answer is, extremely difficult.

2. The second question you should ask is: How good is the compensation plan?

3. The third question is: Is there clinical evidence behind the products?

4. Fourthly: Who is using the products without being paid for it?

5. Fifthly ask: Are there any prestigious medical people involved in the business? (Obviously the majority of members will be ordinary people but when there are medical specialists involved as well then you can be sure the products have credibility).

6. This one applies to all network marketing offers: Make sure that the company is legitimate and is not promoting an illegal pyramid scheme.

Basically if an MLM organization has little in the way of actual products and is seen to put more emphasis on the recruitment side of their business than on the direct selling aspect then it could be seen to be unsustainable in nature and will be labeled a pyramid scheme.

To summarize; Network Marketing offers a second to none chance for any person with a good work ethic to start their own business, plus discounts on personal trips, bonuses for referring friends and family, and an exciting career where you meet with all kinds of people are all part of the benefits of working in network marketing.

The clincher of course is that more and more successful network marketers are joining the ranks of self made millionaires.
