Network Marketing has really come of age with many wildly successful business people endorsing it as a legitimate way to create wealth like Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki and Robert G Allen, just to name a few.

There are hundreds of network marketing/MLM companies out there to chose from, however not all companies and opportunities are equal. Here are 11 great things you must know if you truly want to be successful in network marketing and multi level marketing.

1. Solid Company Background - do some research and make sure the company has at least 5 years history and that it has a good reputation and a great track record.

2. Who Are The Leaders - Are there any high profile figures involved and endorsing the products? And what were they doing before they got involved? High profile figures has their reputation at stake, so if they are happy to endorse the company it may be worthwhile.

3. Re-Usable Products - You want to make sure the company is sustainable. You want to look for products that are going to be reordered on a regular basis month after month. There is no point selling houses in a network marketing model, as the average person will only buy 1 -2 in their life.

4. High Demand - You want to make sure the products are in high demand and in a growing industry. For example the health industry is great as with all the baby boomers it is an expanding and booming industry.

5. Good Compensation Plan - Within the network marketing industry there are around 6 - 8 different ways a company can pay their associates. You want to make sure it has a fair compensation plan and one that the average people can succeed in. If you have to jump though too many hoops in order to get paid, you may struggle to create real wealth.

6. Do Research - Make sure you've done your research by checking out the BBB (better business bureau). Try to find "dirt" on the company and check the validity of the sources claiming the dirt.

7. Delivery Of Products - Does the company deliver the products or do you need to stock a garage full of products? You want to make sure the associates and customers can place orders directly with the company.

8. Great Training - Do they provide the proper training and support for you and your team? You don't want to be a part of something where you're totally on your own to figure it out. This is one of the major causes why people fail.

9. Effort Required - How many hours per week do you need to put into the business? You want to make sure the compensation plan offers true passive/residual income techniques.

10. MOST IMPORTANT - Learn how to dream, and also learn how to set goals. (Read Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich) 90% of this business is mental. (This is true of any endeavor in life, playing professional sports, achieving great wealth, affecting mass humanity)

11. MOST IMPORTANT #2 - Be coachable and don't be afraid to ask for help, one of the great benefits of network marketing is that you are in business for yourself but not by yourself. Your sponsor/upline is always there to help you.
