Is MLM a Scam?


A lot gets written about Multi Level Marketing (MLM).

So what is fact and what is fiction?

Yes, a lot of people get involved in MLM and never make a cracker. Why?

Is it the MLM system or the person?

If you don't do anything, of course it won't work. Nothing will.
If you're an electrician, painter or gardener and you don't advertise your services or you advertise in the wrong places, you also won't make a cracker!

Most MLM work. Most MLM doesn't work. What??

It's not a get rich quick scheme. It does take a while (years in fact) to make the big money.

Most people aren't patient enough for it. They expect results straight away.
How many people join a gym and give up after a few weeks because they haven't a body of a body builder?

How many people start projects at home and never finish them?

If you get involved in the right MLM project, one that has a large range of products, and has a mentoring and training system, you can make money.

There are some great money making ideas on the net that work, if you are prepared to be patient, take advise from experienced mentors and follow a system.
AliveMax has a range of sprays. Instead of taking vitamin pills, you just squirt it in your mouth.
You can sell Amazon and Yahoo products at a site like Your Online Shopping Centre and make money when people buy from there.

MLM is the fairest way to make money, bar none!

You get started, you find a few people who also want to make more money and they find people who want to make more money who also find people, etc, etc, etc.

Everyone helps their downline. It's true money for effort,

If you find a couple and do nothing, people below you can make more money than you because they do more work. Fair enough, too.
If you have another spurt of effort, you make more money.

If you work for BHP Billiton, no one can make more money than the CEO.
If you are a middle manager, you cannot make more money than a senior manager - no matter how hard you work.

But with MLM, you can.

Just because your best friend's uncle's, father-in-law's cousin 6 times removed got into one once and never made a cracker, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It could just mean he didn't work!!

Check them out. Some are better than others. Some you can make more money than others. But they all require you to do something.


Sorry about that.

Check out http://www.time2run.info/ for example. It gives good reasons to make extra money.

I am currently involved in the above three MLMs.
