I have been reading a lot of negative things about multi-level marketing. All companies are not using "pyramid schemes" in direct sales. It is a perfectly legitimate form of getting products to customers without the high costs of distributing, advertising, and retailing. I personally own an Arbonne business that allows me to share products with other people that will allow them to live longer healthier lives. I do not push products on my recruits and this is not a pyramid because the I really do spend time giving them valuable training so they can successfully replace their income by working from home. The real pyramid schemes are the corporations. Hello, the CEO is making money off of thousands of peoples work...not to mention it's a good ole boy network. You don't get ahead in the corporate world by working hard. You get ahead by kissing major butt.
I am not pushy at all. I just really believe the products will help people so it's natural for me to talk to people about them.
I think the key to MLM is to find products that you really believe in and love. Don't people recommend their favorite TV shows, songs, stores, foods, restaurants, etc..., to others all the time. Why shouldn't I get paid for being a walking advertisement?
