What are the disadvantages of network marketing?

Probably the biggest disadvantage to network marketing is that it can be difficult to embark in your own business. Network marketing unfortunately has a kind of negative stigma to it - and most people are suspicious of network marketing thinking that it is a pyramid scheme, etc.
If you've never been in business for yourself, it's hard to adjust to being your own boss, and you definitely have to be a self starter. But the rewards can be just as great.
The best advice I can give for avoiding these disadvantages is to join a great team. Work with people who know what they are doing and can teach you, support you, and help you. The worst experience in network marketing comes when you join a company, and then you're completely on your own. You'll fail everytime.
But if you have a company that you like, products that you believe in, and most of all, a TEAM you can work with... then you can find some great success in network marketing!
Today, students are also associated with this category of marketing. They are building there own future.
