Than again, there are a lot of people who make a nice living through MLMs. Remember, they are
completely legal and ethical as long as the full details of the business are clearly disclosed to
prospectives.
I went to an Herbalife internal seminar once a few months ago as an invitee of a friend of a friend.
This was a seminar to tell Herbalife distributors about new products. It was not a sales effort and
no one made any effort to get me to be a distrubutor, although the acquaintance who invited me did
try to sell me some products, but the sell was pretty light handed. It was odd though because many
of the people there (almost all Herbalife distributors) looked like they were in a cult with sort of
glazed over eyes and going through a canned mantra. I was given some samples of stuff and most of it
tasted artificial. There is no way I could maintain the diet that they proposed and the products are
also expensive if you're not a distributor.
