[QUOTE=chrisvinky;39544]Actually it's called Network Marketing and people such as Donald Trump and Robert Kiosaki recommend it as one of the best ways to start and build a business that pays residual income.

Trump and Kiosaki....gee, they are both businessmen with no morals, serious lack of ethics, and overall just horrible role models for someone to follow unless they want to learn to be a "slimeball" business person.
Trump was the last speaker at a business seminar I attended several years ago. All of the other speakers were industry leaders and mentors such as Jack Welch and Suzi Orman. When Trump came on and started his speech, almost everyone got up and left by the half way mark. I lost all respect for the man, no matter how "successful" or rich he is. He made statements such as "...if someone does you wrong, do whatever it takes to ruin their personal and financial life forever..." , "...do whatever it takes to win in a deal (no matter how low you have to go).." and other totally assinine remarks. He is in no way a role model for someone who wants to be an honest, ethical business person!
As everyone else has mentioned, Kiosaki is great at selling "hype" and his programs, which is how he got rich along with real estate.
