Own business opportunities.

Buying into a franchise or becoming an affiliate with a company and sharing their products  with a company who's products and services rock your boat with or without the incentive to earn are good places to start! 

Franchises give you all the training, equipment, uniforms , website and know how to start working with a brand name. 

Franchises show you how to run the business so you run the same as all the others. 

May it be a work from home opportunity with kids music or messy play classes, investing in your own subway restaurant or investing in your own housekeeping agency. There are  a million options. 

They require quite a large investment from £4000 for a work from home business up to £50,000 and a monthly fee/or % of earnings.  

But if you want someone else to hold the reins,  work  with  an  already  working  model  but run your own business this is a great option!

Network  marketing  is  where  you  actively  sell  goods  and  services  to  others  and  enroll  others  into  your  team  to  do  the  same.  There are so many companies out there offering every kind of good and service. Always  choose a company who's products and  services  you understand  the  benfits  of  and  love.  

Its always good to try before you share so you can offer your own personal recommendation. 

If you find you love the products/service then go ahead and become an affiliate. 

You will need to pay a small upfront payment (compared to starting your own business or buying a franchise) and a small monthly fee or buy a certain amount of product monthly to earn commission. 

But if you really love the products this will be something you will want to do anyway! So even if life gets in the way  or it takes you a while to pick up the ropes then you wont see your monthly spend as a loss or waste of money! 

You will be coached directly by the person above you how to become a good networker,  so make sure you see yourselves getting along with them  personally.   You will also have access to team mates who will  show you the ropes and having online meetings can be fun. 

Support, websites, amazing training events and community often all come as part of the deal.  

It is possible to earn a lot of money with these companies if you treat them like a job. However  they are not get rich quick schemes, and shouldn't proclaim to be. Make sure the company align with your values and you can have real fun with earning -  Being willing to achieve personal growth is a MUST.  

You  can  also  feel  free  to  treat  these  companies  like  direct  sales companies  where  you  only  sell  the  products  too.

However  most  do  encourage  you  to  build  a  team  where  they  help  you  learn  how  to  lead  and  you  earn  money  from  your  team  mates  and  show  them  how  to  do  the  same.    

As  an extra element,  as  I wrote  above  there  is  also  the  ability  that allows you to be paid as you learn how to build teams and train them up gaining you extra bonuses and compensation based on the work you and your team do together. - This support and learning is often  within the cost of your monthly fee. - so so long as you want the products you get every month its a win win situation.

- People  can  liken  these  to  old  fashioned  pyramid  schemes  -  but  new  companies  actually  have  a  good  or  service  worth  paying  for  and  affiliates  share  the  ability  to  become  a  direct  seller  under  them.  

Some  can  end  up  paying  more  on  the  product  than  they  make  so  do  keep  an  eye  on  the  blanace  between  expenditure  and  profit.   You dont  want  to  be  running  at  a  loss  for  long   -  Its  just  not  a  viable  business  if  this  is  happening.  You  want  to  aim  to  be  at  least  breaking  even  within  12  -  18  months.  And  the  main  aim  is  of course  to  be  making  a  healthy  profit.  

- Breaking  even   means   your  outgoings  have  been  paid  for  with  income.  So  you  have  at  least  not  made  a  loss.  

These  roles  include  But  are  not  limited  to:  Avon,  bodyshop ,  Anne  summers,  Forever  living and  Usbourne  books   from  the  UK  

and  Amway,  Arbonne,  Scentsy,  ARIXX,  are  some  of  the  global  direct  marketing  companies.  

Affiliate marketing is where  you  share  someone else's products and services and being paid a small commission for purchases made through you. This  does  not  involve  creating  teams.  

You may decide to create your own website and really home into marketing one particular product or service or do what I do and incorporate it into your own business as recommendations. 

Disclaimer:  I  am  due  to  become  affilitated  with  Amazon.  I  will  earn  commision  from  direct  sales  of  products  sold  via  my  amazon  links  on  products  I  recommend.
