IS Time to SWITCH Companies? - How to Make Extra Money From Home

There’s a quiet moment that hits every online business woman/ network marketer at some point—the pause. The internal check-in. That feeling .."Joy has left the building".. The whisper of a question: “Is this still working for me?” And if you’re here reading this, that whisper might be getting louder.

When we're in the "make extra money online" business .. Let’s be straight up for a moment, because too many women stay stuck in opportunities, spaces, places that no longer serve them. 😉Not because they’re not smart, not because they’re not committed, but because no one talks openly about what happens when the spark fades.

When the "model that once was" is now the one that no longer fits the life you’re building now.

We outgrow shoes, relationships, hairstyles .. and yes, sometimes we outgrow the business model/company we started with.

Why Women Leave Network Marketing Companies

When someone leaves a network marketing company, it’s rarely on a whim. More often, it’s because something is missing. Lacking. 😔A desired benefit that’s no longer there. A gut feeling they can’t shake. Feeling resistance. A nagging discomfort that something’s changed… and maybe just maybe they’ve changed too.

“Roxanne, we only have one life.” — My Dad.
“You have the right to a happy one.” — Me, always.

Sometimes that means staying. Sometimes that means fighting. And yes... sometimes that means leaving.

Let’s Talk Real Reasons Women Say Goodbye:

• The Passion is Gone. You feel disillusioned, even resentful. There’s no fire in your belly like there used to be. (We often know this long before we toss in the towel, it just took a bit to "act" upon that internal decision.)
• Product Changes. The ingredients, pricing, or benefits have changed; and not for the better. (This was the #1 reason I left my first company.)
• Outdated Tools & Training. The company hasn’t kept up. You feel left behind when it comes to social media strategies, automation tools, and modern marketing and training.
• Leadership & Trust Issues. Shady ethics, legal trouble, shifting company direction. Change in your CEO. Your gut says "run." Listen to it. (This was the #1 reason I left my second company)
• Toxic Culture. Lack of communication, cheerleading, sisterhood. You feel on the outskirts, unseen, unheard, unsupported. You're bending over backwards without one "atta" girl even if you're not hitting the leaderboards.

Maybe These Sound Familiar Too:

• You’re tired of being told to run your personal Facebook like an infomercial. Not getting any comments? Post MORE!
• You dread packing your car for another home party that ends in awkward silences, stale snacks and no-shows.
• Weekend vendor events no longer make sense. You’re burned out, the table fees add up, wondering am I even going to pay for the gas to get here?
• You’ve maxed out your credit card just to stay commission-qualified.. and your garage looks like a warehouse and you dare not make eye contact with your partner when the mail man arrives with more parcels.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Been there. Done all of that.

Let’s Talk About Life Changes

The truth is… life evolves. What worked for us in our 20s might not fit when we’re in our 40s, 50s, or beyond.

• When the kids were babies, home parties felt like a fun escape.. adult conversation, snacks, and a reason to clean the house. Now? You crave quiet evenings and less people peopling.
• When we were younger, weekend markets felt exciting. But now? After a long week of 9–5 work, weekends are for family, your home, and resting your body.. not hauling bins and chasing receipts.
• And if you’re like me.. semi-retired, travel-loving, craving more freedom.. buying product every month just to stay commission-qualified no longer fits your vision. Coming home from vacation to boxes stacked in the garage? Hard pass.

Your business model should evolve with you—not leave you feeling stuck in a version of life that no longer fits. .. or maybe "it" didn't change but WE did.

But Before You Walk Away .. Ask Yourself:

• Have I used every strategy the company taught me?
• Did I clearly communicate my frustrations with my upline/coach/mentor?
• Have I really given it enough time and consistency?
• Did I do the company training?
• Have I invested in personal development and business skills outside the company playbook?

We don’t quit just because something is hard. We assess. We evaluate. And then we choose what’s right for our future.

The Industry Has Changed .. Have You?

Ten years ago, the marketing methods were different. Home parties, hotel meetings, and 3-way calls dominated. Today, it's about:

• Conversational selling
• Attraction marketing
• Sharing connective, relatable value-packed content online
• Having systems and automation that don’t require 24/7 hustle

What never changes?

• Human connection.
• Friendships.
• Relationships.
• Conversations.
• Straight talk truths with a splash of sass with the sunshine.
• Serving, seeking to understand and solving a problem with heart.

We can still build beautiful businesses around those values.. without sacrificing our sanity, our Saturdays, or our savings account.

What I Found in Digital Marketing

It took me 2 years to find the business model that checked all my boxes. I wasn't actively searching .. I just knew I needed something that honored my desire to make extra money online without feeling stuck, sleazy, or stressed out.

Digital Marketing gave me:

• A business that aligns with who I am now
• No inventory stress, nor mailing samples with the ability to market pretty much any country in the world.
• Tools that run 24/7 .. without having me glued to a screen
• Real training that works in 2025 .. not 2005 (that is constantly being updated "with the times online"
• Freedom to travel, unplug, and create content my way from anywhere in the world
• A business that doesn't expect me to buy product to be "commission qualified" and make extra money
• BEST of all: 100% instantly paid commissions!!

I stopped chasing people. I stopped feeling weird. And I started loving my efforts and work again.

If you’ve been craving a smarter business model; one that works around your real life.. this is your sign to explore digital marketing.
