• Who is likely to have more financial success, a monkey selling pencils or anyone doing MLM?

  Mexico4me – good to see you are back. Weren’t you going to message me? Don’t you recall, you need to bring your sense of humor when answering my questions.
  
  Not a great analogy yet, a great point.
  I don’t think their is a monkey in history who has achieved any financial success that he/she could call their own.
  Take a monkey and train them to sell a pencil, you will make great money for sure.
  Take a salesman and teach him marketing tactics that attract the naive, he will do well too.
  Far too many people do not do well with MLM because of business ethics. The people who do well (very few statistically) understand that few will ever make a profit. The recruiting practices of the participants often cross the legal lines. The companies building business under the MLM business model also understand marketing to attract the naive. Just as well as the companies marketing quick weight loss or other fads. You can find this type of practice in your own industry which I assume is real estate.
  With all that aside. My point would be, it takes a certain few to make this business model work. Not the mass that the companies target.

  The Vandruff’s have written a great article on why the business model does not work. http://www.vandruff.com/mlm.html

   I have a business from the comfort of my home and could have obtained a residual income that grows every month only following a simple business plan. Step to step
