What I Wish I Knew Before Joining Two Network Marketing Companies

Just what did I get myself into?

Have I got an opportunity for you. It’s an opportunity to be on the ground floor of something glorious.

Between financial inequality from late-stage capitalism and billions of people living on the planet, I’m sure we’ve heard a network marketing pitch or two in your life.

And if you haven’t, consider yourself pretty damn lucky.

It sounds appealing on paper. Instead of taxing the rich to hell and back, this industry and the pitches present a new option: just become part of the rich elite club.

Between a “bullet-proof” sales template, your new besties to mentor and guide you, and a new shiny car, you, too, can be like the rich elite.

And even if people aren’t that interested in the business model, they’re still getting good quality products at good prices…

But are they really?

As someone who jumped “feet first” into two opportunities selling beauty products and life coach CDs, I wish I had known exactly what I was getting into when I signed up. I also wish I had spent more time looking at the companies I was involved with and network marketing as a whole.
