(Global) Network marketing and real estate

  

At one time or another, most people have been approached to join Amway or some other type of Network or Viral marketing program.  This usually entails paying hundreds of dollars to receive a starter kit, making a list of people you know, calling them and introducing them to the business you have become part of. 

Over the past 20 years, I have been exposed to dozens of such programs and am still a loyal customer of both Usana Health Sciences and Legacy For Life’s Immune 26.  My dedication to these companies is strictly as a consumer. I do not pursue these as businesses unto themselves as I have found them to have too many barriers to being successful and the fact that the pay programs are not in your control. 

Even with all these obstacles, I still strongly support the notion of this model as it has taught me a great number of things which have helped over the years in real estate and in life. 

First of all, it forces one to get out of their comfort zone and introduce themselves to others.  Not only will you expand your network (which is really your networth) but it gives you a chance to be exposed to opportunities that you would never have heard of otherwise.  I have also made a great many friends by using this technique. 

Network marketing methods are exactly what successful real estate investors do to get their names out to the public and tell the world they are looking to buy property. Instead of selling or talking about vitamins and minerals, they speak the language of real estate. 

The concept of making a list and calling everyone you know to tell them about your new venture (which is real estate) could very well lead you to that mortgage broker or lawyer you are looking for.  This could be all the difference you needs to succeed.
