What can anyone tell me about MLM programmes. Please, I don't want affiliate links or anything, just a legit discussion of what MLM programmes have to offer, how to find a good one, if there are any, and so on. Thanks

    What i would honestly say about MLM programmes is that most of them are about selling the idea to people about selling the idea to other people. It's difficult and time consuming to gather leads and close sales IMO. I would recommend staying clear of such programmes, the most recent and highly popular MLM-style scheme is Empower Network and all you have to do is use the search function on here to see how difficult it can be to even breakeven with that platform.

      trying to close sales over the phone is the worst. I can't tell you how many hundreds of phone calls I've made and got hung up on in the past. Really beats you down fast

        Agreed and good to know. Closing sales is tough. No one likes to be sold to off a script on the phone.

      I agree. It's like ebooks that say "sell more ebooks about selling ebooks..."

    MLM, is not for everyone first of all, takes time, dedication and a correct mind set. Building a Network is not an easy thing, you will get a lousy advise from your up line... They leave when it is not working for them, on to the next hot item,. me l been with the same company for over two and half years. I have one approach l provide my team with a system, leads for them to work with and follow up with them and show case them how it works and why it can work. Within 90 days l will know if he or she will make it....

    Multi Level Marketing is the hardest program to make a living with, most are set up so that you only get paid on your weak leg... smart approach form the marketing company, most never get the truth from their up line.... .Yes there a several good one's out there, you need to found that company...When you do found that company you need to review all the information, do not waste your time with friends, family dogs and your cat not going to work.... You need to work with a leader.....The is more important then the company......

    Here is my best advice for you there are a bunch of scams out their and their are also some very good programs also.You as an individual need to do your own research and see what is legit and what is blowing smoke up your wassso. Building an mlm opportunity is not as hard as most people think it is you just have to find the right people to talk to and one of the reasons it is so hard for some people who are always complaining and will always give you their negative opinion about mlm is because they are afraid of the word WORK.

    So I will tell you this and then I am done when you buy peoples opinion you will definitely buy their lifestyle so get to work and do your own research experience is the best teacher. Hope that helps

      That does help! I think you're right. It's about finding a system and there are some legit things that can work with a lot of effort and some scams. Thanks again.

        I was at a meeting last night, which is the reason I searched for this topic. I did Google the company name and sifted through the fake reviews and read a couple of complaint sites. Are there any other suggestions for researching?

          You should really check out some mlm forums. These places often have unbiased reviews about most of the major companies.

          Another possibility is this forum. I'd venture to say there are quite a few people on WF that have dealt with MLMs directly.
