Alternatives to the usual 9 to 5 job are now being sought by people who have been laid off or downsized. There are currently fewer new jobs available than in the Great Depression of the early 20th century.

Lack of funds and lack of small business loans in the current economy make the possibility of owning one’s own business slim these days. But people still dream, even though it seems beyond current possibility. Even those with enough money to start a business back off in the current recession. Some just dropped out of the workforce entirely.

Statistics show that 4 out of 5 new businesses fail within the first year, usually because the owner lacks either the money or the experience to make it. With statistics like that staring you in the face, how can one sink $100′s of thousands into something that hasn’t made any money? Expenses to start a new business can be more than one ever considered, with employees to pay, equipment, leases for space, legal fees, not to mention the stock which you plan to sell.

It may seem smarter to buy a business that is already running, but there are risks involved in such an enterprise, too. Unless you investigate very thoroughly, you must depend on the current owners say so as to whether the business has the capacity to do well in the future. So why is he selling it if it is successful? Is their best salesman leaving? Is the equipment out of date and will soon no longer be used by the industry? Is their big contact about to end with no more in sight? You’ll be spending a lot of money for an established business, so you have to find out just how well it is established.

A different prospect is buying a franchise of an already existing successful company. But the franchise fees alone can be overwhelming. A franchise has the advantage that someone else has already researched the parts of the business that make it successful – the right product, the right marketing, an already proven customer base, etc. But the expense of the fees, plus the start up costs for such a franchise limits the number of people who can use this route to business ownership.

So what’s left? Well this is the interesting part, there is an industry that has been around for many years, that has made many people very wealthy, but has suffered from a terrible reputation. This is an industry that has very low start up costs, can potentially provide great training if the company is well established, has very low overhead and can be run from home. This industry is “network marketing”, or traditionally known as MLM.

MLM credibility has been brought into question by dishonestly of those involved. Sometimes a distributor working lower on the line will not tell the truth about the products or opportunities for sales in the company or will coerce friends or relatives into joining. Sometimes those in control of the company dishonestly represent their products or their marketing opportunities. Sometimes distributors down the line just lack the training to make a go of it. In any case, MLM has suffered PR-wise.

However in almost every company that sells a product, someone makes money off someone else’s sales. For example a sales manager will make a bonus or percentage off his successful salesmen. Owners certainly make their profits from the sales of others. MLM is merely another way to market a product and get it distributed, and actually it is more effective and efficient than a store. It’s very suited for the internet age.

So when you have unemployment at such a high level, with no foreseeable change in the near future, traditional business costs and challenges too great for the average American family, the door becomes open to those who may have never considered the MLM option before.
