Sounds to me like your hip to the game and know enough to stay out of it. I can see getting taken once. But what I find funny are the people that do it over and over for years and fail every time.
Illustrating the point that ignorance is treatable and stupidity is not.
I can’t speak to the business model itself but I can attest that MLM on average sure attracts the least entrepreneurial of people.
There are probably some decent business people that get steered off course and overrun with the excitement of signing up massive amounts of people and making it rich, but the majority of people in MLM really just don’t understand basic business concepts and don’t even know the right questions to be asking.
If MLM at its most basic level is sales, that alone is somewhat entrepreneurial. Its when the idea of signing people up to make money gets mixed into MLM that it goes to the toilet.
It is true that most people in MLM are their best customers and even if they sell lots to their family and friends, I gotta say I have never known a successful business person who was able to do well just selling primarily to themselves and immediate family.
I should point out though that you don’t need any business knowledge, experience or education to start any business though.
the statements your are entering are false about a 120 billion dollar business world wide that reputable corporations like GTE, ATT&T, Gillette, Sprint, and many many more coporations who use Network Marketing. These established corporations as well as companies lasting 10 to 20 year Fortune 500 companies sell their goods and services without any advertising costs because “word of mouth” is the fastest form of distribution.
Network Marketing is a legitamate business proven in our highest courst and the IRS recognizes it as a home business.
Where are you getting these cut and paste segments from? What web site that bashes an industry that is growing right under your nose with thousands of people who are living their dreams?
This industry is happening without your negative propaganda. If I didn’t have Network Marketing, I couldn’t pay for my children’s braces… Thank God for Network Marketing.
