The Top 10 Controversial Lies About MLM

………………………………………………………………………………………………………



1. MLM is an Illegal Pyramid Scam.



Multi-level marketing (MLM), also called Network Marketing,

is a legitimate method for promoting goods and services.

In contrast, Pyramid Scams concentrate mainly on the quick

profits to be earned by selling the right to recruit others.

There’s no such thing as a MLM Pyramid Scam. It’s like

saying someone is an ‘Honest Liar’.



2. MLM Doesn’t Work.



While MLM is not for everyone, it does work. Is there a

correct way and a wrong way to drive a car, do your job,

build a house, educate your children or take a test? Of

course there is, and there is a right way and a wrong way to

do MLM. If you have ever had a good or bad experience with a

product or service and told people about it, then you were

Networking Marketing. You were just not getting an extra

paycheck in the mail for your word of mouth advertising.



3. The Only People that Make Money in MLM are The Ones At

The Top.



Mr. Anderson is at the top and retails $20,000 worth of

product and makes a 45% commission. He just made $9,000. Now

lets say Anna, a single mother with two kids is at the

bottom and retails $1,000 worth of product. She makes a 45%

commission, which is $450. Is she going to return that $450

check just because she’s not at the top? Would you?



4. You Don’t Have to Go to Weekly Meetings.



How much can doctors, lawyers, chiropractors, judges,

actors, musicians and corporate executives make per year?

Some make six-figures per year. They went to college and got

their education. Weekly meetings are the college to get your

education in MLM.



5. You Have to Invest A Lot of Money and Time in MLM.



If the company you are looking at requires a lot of money

that you can’t afford, then find another company that fits

your budget. You do have to spend money to make money but it

doesn’t have to be a lot. If you can invest 10 hours a week,

then you can do MLM.



6. MLM is Not The Wave of The Future.



More and more people are looking at MLM as a retirement

option, and many more are interested in joining during a

down economy. Also, people are also more receptive to MLM

from September through November because of the coming

holidays.



7. You Don’t Have to Retail Products in MLM.



Products were not meant to be bought and left in your

basement. They are meant to end up in the consumer’s hand.

Most distributors are product users first which means you

retail to recruit, not recruit to retail.



8. All You Have to Do is Mail These @#$%* and Get Rich.



If it were that simple, everyone would be doing it and be

rich. You can’t mail tapes, postcards, flyers or whatever

and get rich.



9. No Advertising, Retailing or Recruiting Required. We

Will Do it For You.



When you were in school did you have someone else do your

homework, take your tests, give your oral exam, talk to the

girls and take them out for you? Did the teachers and girls

give you credit for someone else doing your work? Even if

the work was good or bad? No! MLM is no different.



10. Once You Start MLM You Are On Your Own.



Some MLM companies tell you to “go out and see what works

for you”. That’s the “go sick ‘em training”. Success in MLM

requires duplication, not innovation. There must be a

unified duplicatable system in place for you to succeed. You

are in business for yourself but not by yourself.



For more information regarding the legitimacy and legalities

on MLM, contact your local Better Business Bureau and State

Attorney General’s Office, and NEVER join a MLM company

without researching and investigating it thoroughly.
