Don't get me wrong, there a lots of MLM-er out there who are really successful and I am really envious. However, I don't think it is for me. I've joined two programs so far without success - GDI and CashCow. No doubt I did not really go at it with full force but to keep paying the monthly fees without any signs of success seems to me like such a waste of time not to mention money.
At first it was kind of fun to see the forced matrix at work, but it sort of dampened as those downline failed to upgrade and you left with "no downlines". My upline always seems very dedicated till you signed on the dotted line. Then they sort of "disappear". Then comes more email to join this and join that to boost the original program that I've joined. It is all so frustrating to see your hard earned money just going into someone's pocket, you know what I mean.
So I decided to steer clear of MLM programs and just focus on programs are free and that I can make money from even without referral. Plenty of that around on the web. It's just a matter of choosing what works for you and keeping clear of those that looks too good to be true.
What you think? Do you have any experience with MLM program. Are you rich from it like those ads say?? Want to share your tips??

yes there are good stories i heeard from mlm but i also heard an equal opposite stories about it. mlm bottom line is making a great number of affiliates and second be able to sell the products. well, if you have the skill of both then maybe you have a future on mlm business on the other hand if you cannot sell or produce a high number of affiliates then better quit since lost maybe inevitable. i also have experience with 1 mlm business and after 1 month of serious business i quit because i can see that i cannot make up with the requirements to become rich. also i want to say that there are quite pretty good number of scammers operating on it so be keen to select the legitimate from the false. gudluck to you!

I have bad story about mlm.I'm ever join that things,but now i dont want to join it again.just waste my money! But i agree,some people getting rich cause of mlm.It is because they are very active agent or member! I'm not that kind of person!For me mlm is just for an active person! If you're not in that type,please forget it before you failed badly!

I think we have the same opinion as far as MLM is concerned. While I have no problem with the MLM business model, I really find it hard to convince others to join under me. MLM is really hard for me. Sometimes I get envious of those who are really successful of making money at MLM business. Maybe it is never my cup of coffee.
Now, my friend, I am also interested with free-to-start opportunities. Please share to me your free programs that are really paying regularly.
My email is: freebiz123@yahoo.com.

I haven't try any MLM. I think I'm not gonna try. Just like what you said there's lot of MLM-er who are really successful. Of course they have skill to communicate with others and convince them to join. But I think I'm not one of those person. My mother ever try to join MLM but since she's not very good at communicating with other and also she's not a very confident person, it was only lasted for a month. I only joined some program that are free to join and try to earn something from those program.
