Like most home based businesses, the products and services of Empower Network are often overshadowed by the big hype surrounding it's affiliate plan. If you're like most people looking into this home business opportunity, you can be forgiven for wondering just what the heck it is that this program actually provides.

The focus today is on products and services. With this knowledge you will not only have a greater understanding of the business but put yourself in a superior position to build an income from it, too, if that is your goal.

A shocking amount of affiliates who join, somewhere in the region of ninety percent, don't know how to get started in building their business and using their tools. There are a few important factors for this, detailed underneath..

* Over 80% of affiliates make absolutely no money, despite the large income on offer.

* Like with most online businesses, one of the biggest issues here is lack of support from their upline.

* Most affiliates receive no help or training from anybody in their upline.

* A money driven mentality sets you up for failure. No interest in your products mean you are driven purely by financial incentives and provide no value when you present your opportunity.

It doesn't have to be this way of course.

It's clear that most people who join this program are attracted to the potential income available. The affiliate plan allows you to earn $25 per referral, allowing a large online income relatively quickly for those who are determined to become their own boss. However that potential income will never become a reality for most members, that's the sad truth, as the issues listed above will prevent them from ever doing so.

There is one factor which presents a bigger problem to building your income than all others and that's lack of training from your upline. It's easy to spot sponsors who do this, as they often put way more focus on how easy you'll be building a big income and less focus on what you can do with the company. Ever hear the saying 'if it looks too good to be true, it probably is'? That rings true here too.

As far as products go, you are provided with all the relevant tools to become your own boss. An authority blog, which is worth membership alone to most people, allows your posts to be quickly featured by Google and other search engines.

The weekly company training is where things get fun. Each week you are sent a training module containing valuable tips, all of which are tested and proven to work, revealing intuitive tips on how to set yourself apart from your niche and become your own boss. You can apply these to any home business, including this one, and if you're smart you can even apply them to a hobby. We applied them to our fitness hobby and turned that into an income each month alongside our business.

Now that you have the basics down, we'd suggest simply taking your time, using your products and following your training materials to make the most of the opportunity Empower Network provides.
