    Retail vs Direct Selling vs Network marketing

    I have been in business by myself for the past 20 yrs - working from home. I chose to work from home in order to still have a good income and be available for my family.

    1. I am in the services trade, having a skincare salon at my home. I have to work physically for every cent. When I don't work, I don't get paid.

    2. I have the normal retail products that I sell to my clients that come to me. If I close the salon I have nothing to sell and no income.

    3. I have Direct selling skincare products where I have to contact the client to market and contact them for orders and deliver personally (hard work, and I cannot charge for delivery - very little profit). When I move to another town I have to find new customers from scratch.

    4. I have a world first Network marketing product that everybody can consume - male, female, young and old.
    • I have no list.
    • I am consuming this product and loving it.
    • No selling for retail profit is required. I can if I want to, but why would I if people can order their own product at cost and still be an asset to my business.
    • The company delivers directly to everybody's door. No delivery problems.
    • No products sitting on my shelf to try and get rid of in order to do my required monthly purchase.
    • I market on the internet.
    • I do not need to convince anybody.
    • If they can read, do their own research and see the benefits, they become my client or my distributor, depending on what they want from the product.
    • I am slowly building a business over time, that can provide me with an income after I decide to close the salon, move to another town and have no more skincare clients. Everybody doing there own ordering and telling another person.


      Now please tell me why I should not like MLM?
