Obviously, not many people want to try multi-level marketing now because it seems that very few even get thier investment back. If you never had pay anything to join and never had to purchase anything, would you consider a multi-level type internet income system? I know. It sounds too good to be true. Tell me what else you think about that kind of plan

I am not personally attracted to MLM schemes. I don't see them favorably. I strongly believe that most them are useless and a waste of time. They just benefit a few ingenuous people at the top. Therefore, I do not recommend them.
I have seen many people promoting these schemes for nothing. I feel they are not productive. This are similar to pyramid schemes. I wonder if they are closer to Ponzi schemes.
For me I want to work for my self. I want to have my own rules. I do not want others to benefit unnecessarily from my efforts and for doing nothing. I am sure so many people have similar views.

I agree with most of what you say. There was once a "viral" side of MLM that attracted people. That viral aspect was the lure of making a lot of money through other peoples' efforts. When about 99% of MLM associates lose money, so went the viral side of mlm.
In my opinion, if mlm worked as well as it sounds, people would wait in line to join. MLMs would be free to join, products would be competitively priced, people throughout the system could earn - not just the 'supers' at the top, and there would be no quotas. Wal-Mart, Target, etc., survives without being able to force quotas on you.
I'm talking about something, here, that meets all these conditions.
Thanks for your response.

The hardest part in multi level marketting is not sales. It is getting new referrals. It is a canvassing type of business at which I am not a very success. It is too hard to convince peopole of the scheme and influence them to join. And the core of success in a multi level marketting business is finding new referrals to develop your team.

Yes you are right. The schemes are not enough to attract people. Altogether I don't like MLM schemes, because a lot of people have to loose their money for an uplne to earn something.

Please see my profile. My website link is there. I won't say anything about mlm, except, statistically, over 99% lose money. I'm not here to offend anyone, but I have been there and done that, and I will look at your site. I won't commit to monthly purchases. Thanks.
