Mlm-ers who are working impossible mlm programs are like smokers, though they know the inherent danger in smoking, quitting is difficult. Like pools baiters they keep looking forward to the big money, while investing time and money all the time.
Having said that, the success or otherwise of any MLM or Network Marketing program depends on those promoting it, and the amount of honest work and commitment put in by the multitude of down lines, honestly supported by their sponsors, to attain the promised success .
So take a good look at the man or woman pitching you with fabulous residual income and see how the program has robbed off on him or her. Ask them to tell you, better, show you the prove of how long they been in the program and how much they have made so far. Do not rely on what he hopes to make in six months - Forget the matrix story, it could just be a scam bait.
Since the 1930s when this overly misunderstood and misapplied system of business reared its head, millionaires have been made and countless persons have also had their fingers burnt beyond repair.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
The problem of mlm failure revolves around lack of knowledge of the business. Anyone going into any business, be it mlm/network marketing or whatever, should first evaluate and understand the risks and expected benefits, the proclivity of achieving success etc. before setting up shop or joining any program. There are genuine and counterfeit mlm companies known as pyramid schemes.
But what I find is that most people, hungry for money, go into any mlm just for the money without the knowledge and honest commitment necessary for success. The question is how does anyone who does not know how to drive intend to make a successful journey driving a vehicle to his destination safely?
That there are lots of misrepresentation of mlm on what level of success one can achieve in any circumstance is quite obvious when you listen to most mlm recruiters. Mlm scam, therefore, seems not to be basically carried out by the companies, but mostly by the recruiting down lines’ inordinate quest to make the promised exponential income.
The whole mlm saga is like religion and believers, who believe in obvious impossibilities just because they are told that it is true.
Without holding brief for mlm companies, let me state that most mlm programs are set up to do what the companies say they will do. The easiness or otherwise of attaining the promise could be misrepresented to mislead, which amounts to scamming of sorts.
The bane of mlm-ers is down line recruiting and the lies with which they try to make it easier to do. The result, however, is most recruits can’t recruit other recruits, not to talk of large numbers required to make exponential income possible. If you are able to honestly recruit down lines who recruit others, causing duplication and multiplication of your effort, then you are an mlm success. Because you will continuously reap residual income from the network you have thus created.
The general scenario however is that even though those who begin early in most mlm programs make the millions from down the lines before the bubble might burst and thousands of naive people carry the can, it is not that easy to readily absolve mlm from being a scam, nor can you categorically call mlm a scam.
What mlm is, therefore, depends on the knowledge and experience of he or she who is defining it.
For me, if you read enough about mlm, you will be able to stand your ground against fraudulent mlm recruiters. You will also be able to identify with genuine product and services backed mlm companies distributing consumables which prices are affordable for every day use.
Those mlm companies whose products are expensive and not of every day use can work for pioneers in the short term, and ruin the down liners in the long run. Beware. The worst scenario is to join a company promoting just down line matrix without useful affordable consumeable everyday proudcts.
