For decades, network marketing has been a business model. Due to the gig economy and the great resignation, there has been a significant shift in recent years. There are now many people looking for alternative incomes online. It is unfortunate that there are still some outdated and harmful narratives that need to be debunked.

These are the top three narratives and why they need to die.

1. Demonization of the Nine-to-Five. Nattriaves like this are extremely harmful. It implies that those still employed in traditional jobs do not give their families enough time. It insults those who love their jobs. Having multiple sources of income can be beneficial for most people.

2. Defensive Content. You will have to defend your company if you create defensive content. Making money through network marketing is a viable option. In order to partner with a company, you do not have to prove your choice. Content such as this reinforces the stigma surrounding the industry

3. Posting Checks. It is frowned upon by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Posting checks can create unrealistic expectations for those who are just starting out in the industry. Instead, demonstrate how you achieved your financial goal by partnering with a direct sales company and demonstrating the value of the lifestyle.
