1. Because a product is sold through untraditional methods, it is crap? I hope you would help me to understand the train of thought behind this. At one point InfoMercials were untraditional, same with sales through the internet. I don't understand how the method of sales makes the product itself have less value? Please clear this up if you would.
2. Did you cheat your family? Who did that? Did MLM force you into cheating your friends and family? Why would you cheat your family? I have showed my family products, and no one has bought anything from me at all outside of their own accord. Did you pick a product you weren't happy to share with people? Again, could you clarify how you cheat your family?
3. Financial freedom doesn't exist? I am sorry that it didn't work out for you, but it is an attinable goal, through multiple streams of passive income, in which MLM is only one option. There are many routes, but to say that financial freedom is a "wrong dream" is a little crass, inoffensive and untrue...wouldn't you say? Unless I am missing something.
4. That sounds a lot like the traditional business structure here in the US. If not, then why does the CEO drive a Ferarri and the factory worker drive a Ford? Pareto's Law really accounts for everything...the 80-20 rule. 20% of the employees will make 80% of the income. 20% of your effort will yield 80% of the results, however in MLM there is room for everyone if they so choose it. Most people choose not to.
I am not saying that there aren't people who fail at MLM, in fact just like most businesses, the failure rate is high. That isn't necessarily the fault of the industry.
I am sorry you had a bad experience with MLM. I have had nothing but positivity, honestly. |
you got it all wrong, let me explain.

What i mean by traditional means is directly selling to consumers, rather than mlm. An mlm gives commision to the consumer to sell the product, hence the actual value of the product is very low compare to its sold price, almost 10% in some cases.

The product is not worth the price.
They make every customer a salesperson, because they know that there is products is not equivalent or competitive to withstand in general market. they know that when an indivdual listens abt a product from a friend or relative, hes more prone to believe its good[get fooled] even when it's not worth the price. This actually make you look someone who sells your friend and family.

Financial freedom does exist. I never said it doesn't. I am myself the biggest earner in my college and have 3 employess working under me (I am 19)
But it doesn't exist in mlm. mlm is a cheap way to sell people their dreams, typical scammers who show people big dreams with no work. Every damn mlm member fakes about his earnings to exhaggerate the earning pottential. The earning maths is very cunningly tricky, which definately shows big earning but its the math you'll never see practically.
Selling people their dreams is exact way of fooling. did you saw microsoft, google doing that?

what you said is only a cover-up. If a person goes into business he expects profit, its not a child game. mlm business don't work when you whole town has the product. whom will all sell too?
these things are scam to its best.
You might be very new to mlm or just don't know all the cards yet.
Try to think as you're the owner of that mlm and then think how much would that product cost if it was not mlm [excluding mlm commisions to give], don't see on exhagerations and don't believe on anything w/o proff and you'll see all the catches.
This are just my humble views on mlm, I still don't say mlm don't bring money [but the money is too less for too much work and its something you don't own], the thing is they are highly unethical, dishonest thing. Its almost like saying lies all day to your friends and family abt the product and the cheques you recieve. I have never joined an mlm but I have seen people do these.
