I've never been of multi level marketing because it's never about the product or service, it's about gaining a down line and hoping they recruit so you can hopefully make some money.

A lot of these multi level marketing systems are scams because the person building it is only interested in the money at the end of the tunnel and does not care if the whole system goes bottom up. But the thing is, the person who built this gets the majority of the money when everything crashes and you're left with nothing. And then they can start it all over again by using the same scripts, systems and emails to do it under a different name.

Now I'm not saying all of these MLM systems are ponzi schemes, but most of them are pretty crappy. I still see people promoting "Make $22,457 a month within 30 days!" and after a little research I figure out it is just some horrible MLM system where you really just have to focus on building your down line and hope they get people in their down line. The bubble will pop eventually and you'll only be pissed off when it does lol

Now there are some decent MLM systems out there, but they are locked at second and third tiers. This means that your down line can only go as far as the people you referred getting referrals. This limits the amount of tiers and kind of regulates itself from being a bubble and popping over time. It doesn't guarantee it's safe, but there's less of a chance for catastrophic failure later on

Thanks,

Honestly I do not like these types of methods. MLM for me are like promos that keep telling you that you will get rich quickly, and you will start earning a high amount of money within a short period of time, etc - but when you really understand what it is all about you realize that you would need MANY people under you to manage to do that, and what are the odds of getting that many? To me they are slim, and personally I would prefer to devote my time doing something that I am sure will allow me to earn something, such as writing articles, than wait and hope for people to sign up under me.

HI Thanks for nice question. I think MLM means multi level marketing it is just marketing method. And MLM business identify also by network marketing also. And they has several marketing method for example pyramid method. And it has allocate by Hand by hand. I mean one a principle person and he has one left person and another right person and they carry forewords business. I support as marketing method of MLM. But problem is most of the MLM company misguided and apply fraud marketing method on his client. And they show large dream to people to make quick rich man within short time. Rather they do fraud to the clients after something by selling invisible product and I would like to say air product. And most of the MLM company do not sell visible or physical product to the client. Their intention just to do fraud and after collect massive amount of money just make hide themselves.

Since I have been cheated by a certain MLM program, I speak of no good things about MLM. MLM is a Ponzi style pyramid scheme, where the old members are paid through the funds deposited by the new members. When the new members become old after weeks, months, they will be paid through the funds deposited by new members. This goes on and on until the owner can find someone who is willing to put money. When that stops, the program shuts down

Multi-level marketing is a great way one can make money by selling products of companies that are of the programs such as skin products manufacturing companies, food supplements products and the rest. However, there is need to be cautioned not to deal with companies that offer fake products, so that you don't end up spending your time and energy to get into trouble as a result.

Can you actually make money through MLM programs? I doubt. First of all you have to pay for subscription fees, which can be monthly or one time. Secondly, you need to buy the products and then sell these products. Selling MLM products is really difficult because they are expensive. generally speaking, MLM products cost three hundred times more than similar products.

This multi-level marketing scheme started here way back in the 1980s. I was invited by a colleague to join. The sales pitch was pretty good and the items also looked good, shampoo and other cleaning agents for household use. However, upon close study, I realized that it is foolish to work and give part of my earnings to the one who recruited me. It is unfair. And the rebuttal is that I would also be earning more when I get recruits of my own. Sorry but it is against my religion to take advantage of people. Honest work, honest pay. That’s my motto.
