DROPPING OUT OF THE RAT RACE: How network marketing is producing in a slump economy

Chicago, IL--Dec. 17, 2007—Nationwide a dwindling economy is producing a new trend: a work force full of college educated and highly trained individuals who are struggling to make ends meet. Sheri Crawley knows the story all to well, the xx-year-old college graduate went from a lucrative career in sales to owning two businesses only to find herself living check-to-check. That was five years ago; now the married mother of two is setting her own hours, being her own boss, and enjoying her financial freedom.

Sheri has earned over $1.3 million and credits her financial turnaround to starting a home-based business selling wellness products. Now she wants to share her story and educate others about alternatives to working the traditional 9-5 job. Sheri and her husband Corey Crawley will host a series of seminars on home-based businesses.



Participants can learn which network marketing businesses are legitimate, how to succeed with a home based business, and the benefits of becoming your own boss.

“We want to help as many people as we can understand who we are, what we do, and how we made our extraordinary income,” said Sheri Crawley . “We want our story to be told, and offer solutions to job layoffs in a downsizing economy.”

Increasingly, people are using home-based business as their primary source of income. Home-based businesses account for $427 billion a year, which is more than the pharmaceutical, food, and consumer industries combined, according to the National Business Trade Association.

Sheri, who once believed that finding a good job was her key to realizing the American Dream. But after becoming her own boss she is a strong advocate for home based business.

Network marketing or home-based businesses allow individuals to work from their home and rely on word of mouth to sell a product line. On average startup for home-based business is less than $5,000. “I paid a little over $200 to start my business, that is a small price to pay to make a million dollars,” Sheri Crawley said.
