Are There Any Credible Online MLM's?

5 replies
Admittedly, MLM's scare the heck out of me. But
that said, do you know of any credible MLM's
that can be done entirely online?

I don't really care what niche the MLM is in... as
long as the company operates with a lot of integrity.

    MLM violates the economic law of supply and demand. It does this by imposing monthly purchasing requirements. And that is only one of the drawbacks of its model. My friend wrote a college paper that perfectly highlighted the problems. Basically, it promises passive income through geometric progression. It is these two concepts that make people think wealth is just around the corner for doing nothing.

      My hubby and I were discussing early and this is what I was trying to explain...albeit not so eloquently!

      I don't believe there are any credible MLMs because I don't think it's a credible business model. So I guess it depends who you ask. I know there are plenty of people making money at the top but the people at the bottom that are putting all the money into the system aren't making much (if any) and it's not just because they aren't "doing" the business. The way the MLM system is set-up it depends on a lot of people on monthly requirements to pay out the people at the top. I don't know, but I know it's not for me. I'm sure that plenty of people involved in an MLM will tell you that their company is credible though....so depends who you ask!

        Back in the '70's there was a company called Holiday Magic Cosmetics out of San Rafael, CA, I believe and they came here to Indy.

        A buddy of mine got me interested in this MLM company and it all sounded so promising.

        Until I sat down one evening and did some simple math.

        In order to get to the grand numbers they were promising were possible, I deduced that you would quickly need one half of the city selling to the other half.

        I have never looked at MLM quite the same way since, but I have to admit that I have taken a second look from time to time.

        IF you get in very early with a new product line and IF you are one of those high energy types, you can make some good money...

        for a while.

        IF.....
