MLM is not unworkable, but it is however, extremely
unconventional and it takes a lot of wisdom and hard work to suceed
in it, hardly a get quick rich plan.
To say that this or that coy is a scam is pretty much sour grapes,
because in the end it's up to us to really sort out the wheat from
the chaff and to end up in the right outfit.
Also, your connections are everything, if you are in a 'scam'
company (that is, a company in which your investment is not really
protected) but have solid connections, you can end up making, but
if your connections are poor, you will end up a victim, not because
they are trying to scam you, as a system, but because the guy who
brought you in is #$%ed up and is more concerned about using you
then working with you.
After all, it hardly helps the company to reap a tiny profit from
scamming you and others when it is far more profitable to actually
keep you in the game getting more people for them. Not to mention
bad rep usually kills them off really fast, something they would
want to avoid. Need to go in with eyes and ears wide open, because
MLM is like the internet, there are good and bad guys out there,
but it hardly means the system is in itself a scam or not, it's
just a system where we carry out our actions.
The advantages of MLM however, are obvious, as in you are actually
rewarded for the hard work you put in as opposed to putting in tons
of effort for a tiny raise in a normal job and the investment to
start with this is far less then conventional investments. In the
end, it's up to you to decide if this is the ball game you want to
play, I am not totally confident in the system but I see that it
can be done, and it's far from impossible. We just need to be
careful, and sometimes, daring...
