Becoming an Agent or Re-Seller.
We have published a substantial amount of information on Network
Marketing which is also relevent to 'becoming an agent' on the
next page.
We have not duplicated this information below. We suggest that
you note some differences between the two methods of start-up
and then read on.
Becoming an agent.
Becoming an agent is often the simplest and cheapest method
of starting up in business.
There are many companies and organisations that have a product
or service which they wish to market. Rather than employing
a massive sales force to troop the land plugging their product,
many of them choose to offer agents or distributors a percentage
of the order value of these products / services in return for
sales.
This method gives you the opportunity to start earning money
quickly and without much fuss. It is also quite a flexible method
of business and often can be done on a part time basis.
Referral / Network Marketing.
Referral marketing (a.k.a. Multi-Level-Marketing, MLM, Network
Marketing) is a particular variation on this theme. In essence
it is still selling a product / service on behalf of a 'parent'
company, but there are additional benefits to encourage you
to 'spread the word' and introduce others.

on referral marketing but also relevant to the standard 'agents
wanted' type of start-up) read on.
