  1. It is via personal experience that I tell you that all MLMs should be
    considered guilty until proven innocent. Unfortunately, there are
    always young people coming up from middle school who have not heard
    this and get caught up in these schemes. I will readily admit that
    some (or perhaps a few) MLMs sell worthwhile products. But that does
    not mean that you should get involved, that you will make money, that
    you are the kind of person that can sell. After you have sold to (or
    annoyed) all of your friends and family, then the real trial begins,
    selling to strangers.

    MLMs are inherently more dishonest than most sales organizations
    (which do not have a real good track record anyway). Instead of one
    layer between production (truthtellers, sort of) and customers, MLMs
    have numerous layers of greedy sales people between production and
    customers. Each layer exaggerates the exaggerations of the previous
    layer, until it all becomes lies, lies, lies.

    Save yourself a lot a grief. Get a real job and do a good job at your
    real job.

    You made an excellent point about MLMing.

    There are always those who will hustle and cheat others. Typically human. The
    medical monopoly is a classic example.

    This is a guarantee for surfdom, old age and social security.

    MLMs at one time made more people millionaires than any other occupation.

    That was until the dotcom craze.

    Would you rather have a chance at the "brass ring"to see if you have the "right
    stuff", or just plow the ground like a cranky old mule?

    There are many other, better ways to take a risk and go for the brass
    ring than working for a dishonest organization and having next to no
    chance of success and annoying friends and relatives.

    Did you know that many MLMer lose friends and never get invited to family
    reunions?

    Roger, if you're going to be rational and reasonable, I'm afraid we're
    going to have to ask you to leave m.h.a -- you're ruining the tone of
    the place.

    These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.
    "If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants
    were standing on my shoulders." (Hal Abelson, MIT)

  7. I guess all those ordinary folks around the world who have built themselves
    a lifestyle and incomes that someone like you could never imagine , are all
    just imagining it ? . I guess the Merc my wife drives around in and owns
    ( paid for by the company , her 5th ) and her considerable income is just a
    figment of her imagination ? . I guess the people in her group , and
    thousands of others who make themselves a good living from MLM are just full
    of [censored] . Have you ever taken a good look at what you so quickly put down ?
    .. The rags to riches stories in MLM are inspiring , any young person who
    gets involved WITH THE RIGHT COMPANY and sticks with it , will be living a
    lifestyle by the time he or she is 30 that you will certainly never achieve
    in ten life times with your attitude . I suggest you open your mind and read
    some stuff and listen to real winners like Robert Kiyosaki and Bob Proctor
    and see what these sort of people say about MLM .

    Cheers
