What is network marketing?
"Network Marketing (also called multi-level marketing) isn't necessarily a skill that you learn in a course. It's a type of business model that's used by companies like Avon, Southern Living, Mary Kay, etc. It's also used in many scams (called pyramid schemes, but the aforementioned companies are using the pyramid structure, too). A lot. See here for a high-level explanation (pay attention to the pyramid scheme bit): http://www.entrepreneur.com/encyclopedia/network-marketing If you want to get into a Network Marketing venture, join a reputable company and start doing it. They will provide you with all of the training you need. Your ""manager"" will make money based on how well you do. If you can in turn recruit other individuals to start selling, then you make money off their sales, and you ""manager"" makes money off their sales. Hence the pyramid label.  Reputable companies charge very little to join, you set your own schedule, and don't have any hard quotas to live up to. Do your research! If they make you a promise that sounds too good to be true, it is."
Well i used to intern at a WM company finding clients- its not easy. There are prospecting tools like Larkspur and WealthEngine, but they are ridiculously expensive, around $400 a month. Most advisers find clients through references, so you're going to have to network with CPAs, law firms, and other advisers and get them to send you people (what can you offer in return?). There is also the path of cold calling or setting up a website but those inevitably run into FINRA problems. Thus, it tends to be a slow process that is built up over time. The best thing you can do is create a niche for yourself and cater to it- so for example you can specialize in the retirement planning for certain occupations or under certain conditions. However, bear in mind wealth advisory is turning into a zero sum industry and software is going to make it even more compressed in the future. My firm spent thousands of dollars on marketing and even then 3-5 new clients a year is good progress, but these were also large accounts.   What is your background? &gt;Mad Men, LOST, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones  All of these are based on advertising and/or pay subscribers.  The number of paying subscribers has been decreasing and advertisers are becoming much more selective about how much and where to advertise.  TV networks are essentially distribution channels with some monopolistic power.  But, sports teams have learned that having their own channels is more profitable (especially college football).  It won't be too long until we see the Seinfeld channel, the House channel, etc... on the internet.  Content makers will want to take out the middle men or reduce middle man profits by expanding the number of channels.    In 2000 there was no iTunes, Netflix streaming, nor Blu-ray.  I don't know what there will be in 2020, but I wouldn't be surprised if all three of those are basically gone, replaced by innovation and market forces.  Consumers want convenience, choices, and reasonable prices.  The companies that only want to protect their piece of the market will fail. "Whoa whoa whoa, let's not twist that data and make an assertion that it doesn't support. Yes, medical inflation has outpaced the CPI for ages, *but* when you disaggregate spending into Medicare (US single-payer) and private insurers, [Medicare is able to better contain costs](http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/22/2/230.full) (my hypothesis: likely due to its ability to leverage its scale and keep costs low, while private insurers are fragmented against strong provider networks).   But wait! you're thinking: shouldn't market forces keep insurance outlays low? It's Econ 101, right? Theoretically they should, but this ignores the industrial structure of healthcare providers and assumes perfect competition that doesn't exist. Typically, providers (doctors groups, hospitals, etc) are [highly localized and able to exercise significant market power in a community](http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/23/2/8.full) relative to several insurance plans who are competing to contract that provider ""in-network."" For example, when Aetna, Cigna, and BCBS go up against, hypothetically, Cedars-Sinai to negotiate payment rates, Cedars has the ability to obtain high reimbursement rates because the three insurers have to have that provider in-network to remain competitive. Ironically, the less competition on the insurer side in that market, the better reimbursement rates would be observed since the sole insurer would capture a large fraction of patients in the geographic area served and could use that volume to negotiate better rates.  Finally, there's the overhead issue. Medicare has lower overhead expenses than private insurers do (again, my guess: greater economies of scale and lower advertising and marketing costs, coupled with no profit motive). [Even health insureres themselves agree (.pdf warning)](http://www.cahi.org/cahi_contents/resources/pdf/CAHI_Medicare_Admin_Final_Publication.pdf) that Medicare has lower overhead costs, and that includes some questionable addition of what the authors claim are hidden Medicare expenses.  I'm inclined to believe that a single-payer is probably more efficient and cheaper than a fragmented private insurance market. That said, I also find some sympathy to the argument that maintaining a robust private insurance market may spur innovation on payor innovation (e.g., increased participation in wellness programs for enrollees, or increasing the likelihood that patients be more sensitive to costs and benefits when seeking care). After all, countries like Germany and Switzerland are able to maintain a private insurance market while ensuring nearly universal coverage. Either way, though, arguing that health inflation alone makes single payer systems ""mathematicaly unsustainable"" isn't a strong argument, since private insurers are currently doing **worse** on cost containment." Amazon sells 65% of *all new books* sold on the internet, print or digital. When you control that much of the market, it's easy to use your size to extort your suppliers to agree to your terms. It's more similar to how Comcast is using it's market position to force Netflix to agree to their pay them extra money in order to have adequate performance on their network.  Regardless of their size, a disagreement about *ebook* pricing should not affect the sale, price, or visibility of Hachette's *print* books already on their site. But Amazon has removed the ability to preorder Hachette's print books, raised prices on existing books, and decreased the visibility of the publisher's books.
