Network Marketing
In January 2020, a fellow hairdresser asked me why I was involved in Network Marketing. They pointed out that being a hairdresser should keep me busy enough.
For me, it wasn’t about staying busy; it was about having another source of income, something to fall back on.
As we age, our current jobs may not be suitable for us. The physical demands of lugging tools and leaning over clients’ baths to rinse their hair can seem daunting if I were to continue my career into my early 70s.
One day, a colleague asked me, “Do you do this through choice or more for the money? Because if it’s the money, you can increase your prices and do fewer clients.”
It was an interesting comment that I thought about carefully before answering.
I’ve been in hairdressing for over 32 years. It’s my passion. I enjoy meeting people, making them look and feel lovely, providing a service, and paying my bills, like any job.
I don’t increase my prices to work fewer hours. My clients know I work more hours than I should, but I love what I do. It’s so important to enjoy the work we do. We spend most of our lives at work, so why not do something you want?
I increase my prices yearly due to product price increases and fluctuations in fuel costs (we know how much that can vary!). I also keep up to date with my skills. Being a member of the FHA (Federation of Hairdressers and Beauty Therapists), it’s necessary to keep skills updated and learn trends. Above all, it’s beneficial for the clients, so I charge for this.
When I first began network marketing, it was more of a hobby that fit with my hairdressing career. However, I soon saw its potential and wanted to create another business. The idea of providing another excellent service and product to my existing client base seemed like the perfect solution and something I was looking forward to working on.
Over the years, this hobby has evolved into another business. I’ve built up a fantastic online community of friends who regularly purchase from me, and we support one another in each of our ventures. Supporting others is crucial whether you work in an office, a shop, or within a community, so working online is no different. It’s all about collaboration and helping each other succeed.

While working online may not offer the same level of personal interaction as face-to-face interactions, building meaningful relationships with customers over time is still possible, even if you never meet them in person. The key to successful online business relationships is consistent and genuine communication.
By providing excellent customer service, addressing their needs and concerns promptly, and offering valuable content or products, you can foster trust and loyalty among your online customers. Building a solid online presence through social media and online communities can also help you connect with your customers and create a sense of community around your brand.
So, my response to my fellow hairdresser’s question about why I work with an online company alongside hairdressing was that I do network marketing through choice, and the money is only a small part of why I joined. We all work for the money, whatever job we do, but helping others is a big part of working online.
I fell in love with the company’s products and have met some fantastic friends, leaders, and mentors. I also wanted to help others make money and save on shopping.
When someone new joins my team, I feel happy and content and want to help them make the most of their journey with FM World.
There are no shortcuts in life. We all have our reasons for doing what we do and for our career choices. For me, helping others far outweighs the money we can potentially earn.
Perfume is a popular product for both men and women, and I loved the idea that I could save money on my purchases while helping others—a definite win-win situation.
Since Chanel first created perfume, we have been accustomed to paying a fortune for designer perfumes, and many still do.
