Think Pyramid Scheme, some people make money, usually the first ones in, especially the founder.

There are better ways to make money.

if you even have to ask who will make the money it won't be you, guaranteed

I'm not asking because I don't know. I just want opinions here.

Have you ever bought a product from a multi level marketing company?

I tried one when I was 18 and trusted people. It left me very cynical about salespeople in particular.

To this day I've never bought anything from a salesman that was their idea. I hear a sales pitch and I just tune out.

Do something more honorable and just rob houses.

KCrockaholic · 07-09-2013, 08:37 PM

I wonder if anyone here has ever tried it or experienced it?

You can come out. I won't call you a dumbass.

Sat in an interview right out of college and realized about halfway through that it was a joke, and never followed up.

when I was like 18 (many moons ago) I was already working full time at a Sears selling craftsman tools and lawn mowers. I made a sale on a pretty expensive lawnmower and the customer was "impressed" by my sales "skills" and proceeded to tell me I could be making tons more. A natural salesman, I was intrigued. He didn't tell me much more but said , "hey there is a meeting in the city like 2 weeks from now, wanna go?" He said it was free dinner and he would drive so I figured nothing to lose.....I asked tons of questions but he kept everything REALLY vague and said it would be answered at the meeting....

SO I go to this meeting, everyone is all in suits and looking sharp....big slick presentation about MLM and how much money you could make and only at the very end did they "reveal" that it was Amway.

I was so pissed off I didn't know what to do...I didn't say much on the ride home....

Then like the next day there was this box of crap on my porch.......amway products and catalogs with a note that I owed him 200$...

I left it on my porch, called the dude and told him to come pick up the shit or i was going to throw it away.

The end.

And this sounds like a nightmare.

So, out of all the MLMers out there, you've only purchased one item total from them. This should tell you everything you need to know about these scams. Clearly the money doesn't come from selling the shit. It comes from signing up suckers.

If you can't identify the sucker in a room with someone pushing a pyramid scheme...it's you.

What if you're a sucker towards the top of the pyramid and the company explodes and is around for 50 years? Would decent money be made considering you're towards the top of a successful business?

I tried hard at it and lost my ass. The Gurus set these things up and have one hell of a sales pitch. They always make money and ditch the program when it slows down. You see the same names in each program and they are very convincing. I was working and making money so it didn't make me destitute, but if I was doing only that, it would have ****ed me up. It kind of gets in your blood ,probably like gambling. I got in a couple of them that I swore I was gonna make it big. Total disappointment.

Well they say only 97% of the people in these things ever succeed. Maybe it's your turn to be part of the 3%? Just kidding. Stay out if it's not been working for you.
