The network marketing industry has been one of the most active industries around the world in terms of membership for several decades. From cookware to jewellery to makeup, there are some very familiar brand names in this industry. Almost every home has at least one product or received a service from the network marketing industry.

Interesting Network Marketing Industry Facts

23% of the organizations in the network marketing industry focus on health and wellness.

Some people see jobs in these fields as a scam or a fast way to lose money, but there are millions of workers worldwide that utilize this industry as their sole source of income. In 2010, this industry generated over $28 billion in direct sales! To succeed in this industry, you must be willing to sell products consistently and be good at doing it.

For those that need a little extra cash to make ends meet, just a few hours a week with a home-based business can create the extra income that is needed.
