		<description>Hello, Ross. I am a fellow Lightyear Wireless Rep. I was recently let go from my employer of 11+ years. Now I have more time for developing my own business. Have you ever done an exhibit table at a conference?</description>

		<description>Totally agree with this - if you are looking to join any kind of marketing system, make sure you find out a bit about your mentor before you start.  What is their background and do you have a way to contact them if you need to - a great sales pitch only goes so far - you need training and someone to lead you through things until the money starts to come in!</description>

		<description>Working a homebased business fulltime would be difficult for most. The beauty of network marketing, it must be mentioned, is leverage. My working 4 hours a day and 20 of my team working 2 hours a day is way over a 40 hour week. And the hours logged are growing exponentially. A 400+ hour week is possible in this construct. My Lightyear business would only be an hour for dollar trade without my &quot;network&quot; trying to make themselves a residual income. Tony Bacon http://wiremore.net</description>

		<description>Great article!

There&#039;s nothing better than Network Marketing for the average Joe to start with nothing and make as much money as he wants.

But, there is work involved.

		<description>I commend you on your decision to pursue direct selling full time - you are one of less than 10% of all US direct sellers to view their business this way. However, be careful about analyzing too closely the nuances of quotes in news articles. For instance, the statement you mention should have been preceded by the phrase &quot;For most,&quot; but editors have a way of cutting out &quot;extraneous&quot; clauses like that. Even given that omission, it is quite accurate that most people look to direct selling for supplemental income. It is important to recognize that fact because otherwise it&#039;s easy for people to get the wrong idea about how much they can expect to earn based on a minimal time commitment they are likely planning to put toward their business. If one plans to dedicate 40+ hours per week to direct selling, a full-time equivalent income is certainly possible, but is never a guarantee regardless of the time one dedicates.

I&#039;d also point out that the article quotes $2,400 per year as being an average, when in fact it is a median (50% make more, 50% make less). The average income is actually higher, but also not nearly as representative of what most people hope to earn in direct selling.

As you point out, DSA is an industry trade group, and educating the public about direct selling is a key part of our mission. The reality of the direct selling landscape is that for most, direct selling represents supplemental income.

I wish you much success in your endeavors.</description>
