How Will The Recession Affect Your Home-Based Business Opportunity?

Throughout history, Network Marketing, as a home-based business, has always had exceptional growth during difficult economic times (contrary to the naysayers...see next blog). Certainly, during tough times, people will not want to spend as they did during economic good times.

That is true, but we are not talking about spending such as making retail purchases. Network Marketing is known as the alternative to retail distribution. As a member you can buy directly from the manufacturer. Not only do you redirect your spending for monthly consumables, but also you can make additional income dependent on your marketing efforts.

Here’s an interesting historical perspective:
The first MLM opportunities date back to the great depression of the 1930's.

• Wachter's, a marine-vegetable (seaweed) supplement company, started in 1937 near the bottom of the Great Depression.
• Nutrilite took off in 1945 during the economic decline immediately following World War II.
• Shaklee and Neolife fared well in the post-Korean War slump.
• Amway got a good start building with the slump in 1958.
• Mary Kay started with the downturn in the 1960s.
• Others like Herbalife in the 1990's, went into hyper growth during that recession and became a billion dollar company.

What does this tell you?
When recessions hit, people begin to look for alternative sources of income.

Consumer spending decreases; spending habits get re-prioritized. The future is fragmented and factored into issues of job security, dwindling 401k investments, stock market losses and home devaluation.

How secure do you feel your job is today? Do these terms creep into your mind…long-term…downsizing…getting fired…replacing your job? When recession hits, replacing a job is not an easy thing, but what are the options for finding alternative sources of income?

In my opinion and experience, the best of all alternatives is Network Marketing combined with Internet Marketing. No other home business comes close BUT it must be based on its core principles…a democratic opportunity for everyone, regardless of age, race, education, talent…just an innate desire to have a better life and independence.

MLM businesses can still be built offline…great social activities. However, today we have the advantage of the Information Highway running through our dining rooms and backyards. Today, we don’t have to relegate our financial problems to flipping burgers for more income. Today, the Internet Marketer can plug into a successful Network Marketing company for an exciting opportunity to make some serious income.
