It doesn't work for most people and this is not some of the same old stuff you hear about why MLM.

People with large dowlines and have been in the business a long time with lists of thousands of people to market or sell to. This seems as though the only people making money were the people at the top of the pyramid.

I watched a stay at home mom put $10,000 into a business only to quit within a year or so later. For the newcomer just joining, good luck to you.

A lot of us are smarter than that and would have quit after a few months and maybe only losing a $1000 or so, but this person was very persistent and did not want to fail. So she kept giving away until all the money was finally gone.

However, some people actually believe, MLM is the way to go. I have met a few people over the years that swear by it. I've heard of a few people who make over $100k a year working their multi level marketing program.

The bad part about it is they were the only one making the real money. No one was duplicating what they were doing. Weather they were selling vitamins,lotions,candles or juice beverage products, I have tried it all and it with no sucess.

I eventually ran out of leads, so I started buying leads in hopes to try to convert some people into my business. Once I ran out of friends, family and even the neighbors there was no one else to bug about my new business.

Sure I made sales, but by the time I got to the next profit level, the people who I brought in 2-3 months ago probably was no longer there. Which is why I could never make it to the next big payout level of the commission plan. I did not have a balance on either side of the scale so I would miss out on the big payouts, month after month.

The best thing we have found on the internet to work for most people is a direct sales company that pays you 100% of the sale.

Companies that have a price point of less than $1000 to start. This is the only way you have a chance to succeed. Beware of the $1500 to $5000 programs to get started.

The truth about start ups is that they have no track record. You have no idea if they will be in business one year or so later. Be careful and watch out for people who jump and move every time a new program comes out on the internet.

Most importantly, be careful of the program that costs more than $1000.00. They are hard and so difficult to sell, no matter how good it sounds.
