Welcome to Help Plan My Future

Before you make any decisions about which Network Marketing opportunity that you are going to invest your time, money and efforts withit's important to understand 3 keys factors:

1. What is Network Marketing? 
2. Why do companies use Network Marketing? 
3. How does Network Marketing work? 

Gem Lifestyle and GEM Island use Network Marketing or Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) as it is recognised as the leading business model that combines franchising with direct marketing to drive a product or business model to market.

Billionaires Richard Branson, Donald Trump and Warren Buffet have all bought or created networking marketing companies since the turn of the 21st Century. This is because these industry giants of the world recognise how efficient a model it is.

Companies such as GEM Lifestyle function by recruiting associates (also called Distributors, Agents, Independent Affiliates, Owners etc.)

Associates sell a product /service and offer additional sales commissions based on the sales of people recruited into their downline, an organisation of people that includes direct recruits, recruits' recruits, etc.

This arrangement is similar to franchise arrangements where royalties are paid from the sales of individual franchise operations to the franchisor as well as to an area or region manager, but in some MLM programs, there can be seven or more levels of people receiving royalties from one person's sales.

Over $100 Billion worth of goods and services are distributed by over 30 million distributors in 120 countries around the world who are involved in network marketing (Mutli Level Marketing).

The industry has created many millionaire distributors who have completely transformed their lives within a short few years of becoming involved.

See a video of Robert Kiyosaki (12 mins) author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, explain the values of Rich People and how they think, compared to the values of poor people and how they think.

How do you choose the right Network Marketing / MLM company?

This has to be the $1 million dollar question and why GEM Lifestyle and GEM Island, there really is no simple answer. However there are certain things that you should look for when deciding were to put your effort, time and money?

Leading Network Marketers generally use this criteria for finding the right income opportunity:

• A product or service with mass market demand.

• A product or service that would genuinely add value to the customer.

• An emerging market place which is in its infancy.

• A product or service which is subscription based with auto ship by the company. So no inventory.

• A business in which even if your distributors leave the business, their customers will remain in your team business and you will continue to get paid a residual income for them.

• A product or service that can be marketed or promoted via the internet as well as off line.

• A well established Company with a strong management team.

• Excellent compensation plan to reward affiliates immediately and the ability to create a long term passive residual income.

• A strong support system with Websites, Training and resources in place to help any new affiliate that joins them to succeed if they put in the effort.

• As an example, review GEM Lifestyle and GEM Island as a solid platform for all the above criteria.
