Multilevel marketing MLM discussion

[SHELLY]

I'm still waiting for the review of the "taste testing" done locally.

Those with the money to buy this over-priced crap have enough sense not to waste their money...and those with no sense, who think it's a good idea, don't have the money to buy it.

And if you're looking for multi-tasking chocolate --

Go here, and you can find chocolate/fig/port deliciousness -- and it's eco-friendly.

I think that even if it didn't change the flavor, knowing my chocolate was full of vegetables would make me like it less! ;-)

mlm's are funny.

MLMs are like miniature Sam's Clubs, but they focus more on selling memberships than products. Imagine a big box store like Sam's Club, being filled with three or four products, but hundred's of employees getting paid to sign people up to join. Once you pay the fee, you get to join the other employees in selling memberships to join the club. ("Oh, yeah, BTW, there is some chocolate in the back of the building, which you can buy, and the store will even give you a token commission if you can sell some, but the real money is up front, here, signing up new members. Isn't this great?")

OOOH I got into this way too late... lotta juice here!

Check out these resources, I think they are the beat on the net.
www.mlm-thetruth.com and www.pyramidschemealert.org

Some great info here I especially like the comparison Dr. Jon Tayor makes with the payoff comparison of an investment in mlm and an investment in the worst of the casio games; roulette, you'll do better at roulette.

There is a lot of good solid analytics on these sites and ratings for mlms by the numbers. There are plenty of reports and pdf's to download. He's been involved in trials where mlms have been charged with criminal offences.

Like one needs to read a website to understand the value , or should I say costs, of MLMs. lol

It can be summed up in three words:

Run from MLM

I went to Sam's Club today. Great price on spare ribs. If you smell the smoke tomorrow, paddle over.

I'll keep a nose up in the air.

Beware Joe, they might just try and sell you a Sam's membership.
