It seems like there are new MLM companies launching every day. Many are simply scams, some started with good intentions but still end up as scams, and then there are a few which are for real (very few). My aim is to help you stay away from those who are without any doubt scams, and also those who end up becoming scams. I am also skeptical to some of the more well-known companies that have been around for a while, there are a few which have grown into significant businesses and today are considered real businesses even if their product and business model as best is shady. Typical charging for products that are widely available for free, and the free versions are often better as well. There is of course no law against charging money for something people can get for free, but when it comes to MLM the main reason for adding a ‘free product’ is to make your business model legal rather than using MLM to promote an amazing products.
There is no doubt that MLM, Direct Selling, Network Marketing or what you chose to call it, is a great business. Many people make a living promoting great products. But there is a dark side to this as well, in some of the bigger companies hardly anyone are able to generate a positive income from their business, with as little as a few percent being able to live off their MLM work. The industry standard is more or less 2% making good money, less than 10% making money. This is fueled by pay plans that hardly anyone can understand, and who target the few top earners rather than benefiting most of the networkers. This is what it is, we recommend you to join a business you fully understand, and then can explain someone else within a few hours after joining yourself. That is a business you can become successful with.
And please keep in mind, MLM is not a religion, even if some of the bigger companies build their business after a religion concept. I guess this is the first warning, if you see big gatherings where people act like they are in part of some kind of sect, re-consider if this is a business for you. MLM is all about building a business, not recruit people to a sect alike concept where money becomes secondary, often praising high earners in order to excite people instead of helping you make money.
I appreciate your comments, and it’s OK if you disagree, people view these things differently.
