When the economy took a hit, so did Warren Preis's auto repair shop on Chicago's North Side. "We're definitely down in volume not like what it was." So to make extra money, Preis started selling for Arbonne International.

It's a health and beauty products company that relies on a network of sales consultants who recruit other consultants. The more sales people Preis recruits, the bigger his earning potential.

"I've heard that it's pretty obnoxious, it could be a lot of money it could be 6 digits a year."

If you think this sounds like a pyramid scheme...you're not alone..but UIC marketing expert Charles King says its legit.

"That's a industry that is very powerful, very credible but most of our consumers don't understand anything about it." The business model is called network marketing...or multi-level marketing.

Companies like Amway, Mary Ky and Pampered Chef operate the same way. They allow you to be your own boss. You sell at your own pace and best of all, can never be fired. King believes safety net jobs like these will become an economic necessity.

"I argue that in the next decade were going to be working on a two income model not two family incomes, but two incomes per person."

But before you join a network marketing company do your homework.

Experts advise that you research the company and make sure belongs to the direct selling association. It imposes strict standards for these companies.
