As you probably know, there are hundreds of network marketing (MLM) companies to choose from.  All of them want you, and all of them will have compelling reasons why they are the best.  I am now going to tell you what sets AIM apart from almost all others, and I will not be just spouting lies--I actually believe strongly in the information that I am about to tell you.

If you are a professional network marketer, you will already know much of what I am about to say.  However, if you are new to the concept of MLM, this information will be invaluable as you look for a company. 

Risk vs. Reward
I have spent years trying to find ways to earn large amounts of money without risk.  It is not possible!  When someone says that they have such an opportunity for you, watch out!  In MLM, there is a very simple way to determine how much risk is associated with a company.  The factor that you need to look at is simply how long the company has been in business.

Did you know that over 90% of all MLM companies go out of business within 3 years?  You might have been approached by someone in a new MLM who told you that it is easier to make big money if you get in at the first level (i.e. join a new MLM).  This fact is true. However, what you need to know is that the chance of that money staying around for more than a few years is very minimal.

AIM has been in business since 1982, and perhaps more importantly, their top selling product is STILL the same product that they first marketed.  That fact says volumes about the company and its products.  The company is debt-free, and has never been late with its commission checks.

The Products
For a company to be legitimate, it must have at least one product that is legitimate and has value.  Sadly, many MLM's sell a compensation plan instead of a product.  They have products, but their distributors know that selling products is secondary to signing people up.  The product itself is either grossly overpriced or inferior.  I could start mentioning such companies, but you probably already have one or two in your mind.

It is imperative that a MLM company's products be of excellent quality and they must be competitive in price.  This is easier said than done, because MLM is an expensive marketing model for a company to adopt.  The average non-MLM company might budget anywhere from 30-50% of its revenue for advertising, but an MLM company pays out up to 60% to its distributors.  The commission checks are its advertising costs.

AIM is very unique in that it sells top quality products at competitive prices.  For example, Barleylife competes with Green Magma, a very similar product that is retailed in stores.  However, a 5.3 oz jar of Green Magma normally sells for the same retail price as a 7 oz jar of Barleylife.  It is also fairly easy to demonstrate that Barleylife is a superior product.

AIM products are carefully researched and developed by expert scientists and physicians.  Academic studies have been done on AIM products that add enormous credibility to their value.  And AIM distributors have collected thousands of testimonials that prove the case that AIM products improve the health of people every day!

The Company
It really should be obvious that if a company has been around for twenty years, it has a good, competitive product, and it is a honest, well-run company.  However, I want to discuss this point because I have been very impressed with what I have seen in some MLM companies and AIM in particular.

It is no secret that MLM has a bad reputation with some people.  This is largely due to the problems that I have already discussed.  If a company does not have a legitimate product, it is not really a MLM at all, but is a pyramid scheme.  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regularly steps in and shuts such companies down.

However, I have been impressed with the business ethics of several MLM companies and AIM in particular.  AIM has always been absolutely first class in my relationships with them, and is professional in every sense of the word.  Their distributors will tell you that AIM genuinely cares about them.  I have never worked with any company, MLM or non-MLM, that demonstrated more professionalism and class.

The Compensation Plan
If you are interested in joining a MLM to make money, the compensation plan is important.  Having studied different plans and types of plans, I can make some general recommendations.  First, there are thousands of different variations, but they all fit into one of about six basic plans.  

Every company claims to have the best plan, but in reality, no plan can be best in all areas.  Some plans will allow distributors to make money quickly while others are designed for long-term income.  Some plans reward retailing while others encourage you do develop depth in your downline.  A compensation plan really should fit your personality more than anything.  If you expect to do a lot of retailing, some compensation plans will just not make sense for you.

My advice is to stick with plans that have been known to work, and the most famous one is the stair-step breakaway.  Again, every company that uses this plan has their own variation, but the companies that have been around the longest (including Amway, Nature's Sunshine, and AIM) all use the stair-step breakaway.  I will discuss the AIM plan on another page in more detail, but it is important to note that AIM has chosen to use a plan that is a proven winner instead of a current fad.

Though there a few MLM companies that I could recommend, I strongly believe that AIM is the best opportunity available at the moment.  However, it is important to have the right sponsor, and that is what I will discuss on the next page.
