Esther Spina - The Everything Guide To Network Marketing: A Step-by-Step Plan for Multilevel Marketing Success

Dear Reader,

Network marketing, multilevel marketing (MLM), direct sales, relationship marketingwhile there are different names for this industry, one thing is constant: It offers the average person a chance to see her dreams come true, if she is willing to learn and dedicate the necessary time and energy.

My network marketing career began in my early twenties, as I walked long blocks, dropping off brochures, hoping to sell cologne and make a few dollars. Over the next few years I tried selling a variety of other thingssoap, powdered milk, air purifiers, and even wormsbut I still didnt really understand what network marketing was. Later I worked in commission sales for twelve years. All of these opportunities added to my education and eventual success in network marketing.

Today, after nine years in an MLM company and earnings of over $5 million, my desire is to help other people learn and succeed earlier than I did in networking marketing. Each chapter in this book will add to your education, and give you information youll need to find the right company for you. Then, as you build your business, youll meet new and interesting people, travel to different cities and countries, and find countless people within your company who want you to succeed!

Lets get started!
