Is The Economic Change Affecting The Network Marketing Industry?

Editors Notes: This post was originally published on 2011. As it is now several years old, please be aware that some of the links and references may no longer be active or relevant. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

How has the economic changes affected you these days? Have you noticed a number of businesses suddenly closing without any notice? While out running errands, I noticed The Borders Group Inc.’s 40-year-old paper book empire offering up to 60% off the entire store selection.

The Borders Group Inc. announced last Thursday that its 399 stores nationwide will all be closed within about two months. The announcement followed a $215.1 million bid rejection from its creditors. Liquidation of all $700 million worth of inventory began the following day, with merchandise marked between 10 and 60 percent off. That number also includes all Borders Express and Waldenbooks stores.

I couldn’t help but ask the cashier if Border’s had set up any job placement assistance for all the employees… the answer was a very wiry and sad, “nope”. I have a deep concern for those who are putting the blinders on and trying to avoid the obvious.

We hear a lot about “PLAN B” in the network marketing industry and we know the trend of technology and the digital age is only on the rise, but how many people are taking it seriously?

I remember when the big DOT.com boom created a massive surge for the World Wide Web and those who acted fast, gained a lot. Those who took advantage of the knowledge got to take advantage of the first wave of several that followed, (i.e. Ebay, Amazon, Google). It was a fair playing field for those risk takers and deemed a very favorable result for us all to benefit from.

It is time, your time, to take advantage of the trend once again. If you are examining your options, take a close look at alternative ways to gain financially, like network marketing. Become a risk taker if you are normally conservative. While you still have a job, learn about internet marketing and affiliate marketing.

There has never been a better time to learn a new skill. If you are in doubt about who to learn from, look no further. If the idea of network marketing is starting to look appealing to you, stay on this page and take notes. David Wood is one example of someone who not only has a story to share, but has experienced success some of you haven’t begun to imagine.

In this day and age, it is becoming apparent it is up to us to create results and make a difference. Will you be the next one to share your knowledge with us? We hope so!

Always in service and prosperity,

This post really resonated with me. I’ve seen so many businesses struggle recently, and it’s clear that the traditional job market isn’t as stable as it once was. I’m seriously considering diving into network marketing, but I’m not sure where to start. Any advice for someone completely new to this?

The economic downturn has definitely been a wake-up call for many of us. I’ve been dabbling in affiliate marketing, and while it’s challenging, it’s also incredibly rewarding. This post is a great reminder to stay ahead of the curve and keep learning new skills.

I couldn’t agree more with your point about taking risks. I’ve always played it safe with my career, but the recent economic changes have made me rethink that approach. I’m curious about the Numis Network you mentioned—how does it differ from other network marketing opportunities?

It’s disheartening to see so many businesses closing down, but at the same time, it’s opening up new opportunities in the digital space. I’ve been looking into internet marketing, and this post just reinforces my decision to go down that path. Thanks for the encouragement!

This article really hits home. I work in retail, and the uncertainty is palpable. I’ve been looking into alternative income streams, and network marketing seems like a viable option. Can you share some tips on how to balance a full-time job while starting a network marketing business?

I’ve been involved in network marketing for a few years now, and I can say that it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re willing to put in the work. I appreciate your perspective on the economic changes—adaptation is key.

I’ve noticed the same trend with businesses closing down. It’s tough out there, but I agree that now is the time to explore new opportunities. Network marketing seems like a smart move, especially with the way the economy is going. Thanks for the valuable advice!
