(Example: https://onlinemlmcommunity.com/how-long-does-it-take-to-succeed-in-network-marketing/ ) <br /><br />That is a tacit admission that people who do it part-time are losing money.

It's fine to challenge my "proof" not as solid as it can be, but it's merely ONE of my various supporting evidence. EVERY income study by profession says tech, engineering, and finance produce the best earners. <br /><br />In MLM you do have to invest capital... it's just not always in terms of money. You have to invest your time, your effort, AND your relationships, esp. if you decided to pitch the products to your family, friends, neighbors, workmates... Tell me, how many of them are tired of your sales pitches, vs. how many eagerly adopted your products long-term? <br /><br />Of course MLM requires hard work, but work in what? Sales... or recruitment? The two are NOT the same. One sells products, other adds to your organization. <br /><br />Face the facts: According to DSA average sales is about 2000 US dollars per person per YEAR in the US. And that's SALES, not profit. If they make a few millionaires, it's going be on the odds of winning the lottery grand prize. There is simply NO WAY MLM made "massive number of millionaires". <br /><br />The reality is well over 90% of MLM participants LOST money and/or wasted months of time. And that, I have documentation. What do you have other than belief? <br /><br />http://www.pyramidschemealert.org/PSAMain/news/MythofIncomeReport.html<br /><br />Of course you're going to repeat "you don't put in the work you will fail". So you are telling me 99% of people who joined MLM are lazy and 1% are hard workers?<br /><br />Highly unlikely. <br /><br />It's a lie you tell yourself in order to deny the truth... "Those" people failed not because of the system, but because they didn't work hard enough. It cannot be the system. The system has brainwashed you. <br /><br />Start asking questions instead of accepting things on faith. The truth is inconvenient, but it will set you free.

There is a big difference between a millionaire and a billionaire. While there may be no billionaires in MLM, there certainly are massive numbers of millionaires made by the industry. You don't have to believe that. It doesn't change the fact that it is true. I think the allure of MLM is its relatively low barrier of entry. In most industries, you have to invest substantial capital to start. But with MLM it is possible to start with zero capital. I just think it would be a little uninformed if someone who has no idea about the industry comes out and makes claims against the industry. I find that such individuals base their opinions on negative comments and experiences of others or they are just people who tried the industry and failed not because it was bad, but because they failed to understand what they were doing. MLM requires hard work, just like any other industry. If you dont put in the work, you would fail.

If these people are making money and are happy why not give that opportunity to others without having "skeptical" people scare you working for someone else because its safer. The reason "MLM's" are not skyrocketing over others is you still have to do the work! The hustlers get paid the easily discouraged fade period and that percentage is what throws the whole thing off. Damned if you do and damned if you dont. Give people the opportunity to be wealthy or spend marketing money on commercials and billboards.
