    None are good, you pay money, you lose money, you advertise for other people to give money to the same person who ripped you off so they can also lose money.

    Game over you are stupid

    While a lot of MLM programs truly ARE legitimate, there’s thousands more that aren’t. There are certain questions you need to ask the promoter of any program/opportunity/offer before you make your decisions:

    1. What is the FULL outlay expected of me for membership fees, equipment and supplies?
    2. What will I get for my money?
    3. What exactly do I have to do (step by step)?
    4. Will I be paid a regular wage, or will my pay be based on commission?
    5. Who will be paying me?
    6. How will they be paying me?

    Take your time. People promoting scams will likely use high-pressure sales tactics to get you to buy in to them.

    If the business opportunity is legitimate, it'll still be around when you're ready to decide.

    Having said all that... there are heaps better ways to use your existing expertise and your time, to make money.

    Most are false. Always remember, no one can make you a millionaire within a night or doing a little job. If it may true, poverty could be a obsolete word in dictionaries :)

    First, You must be passionate about the product or services. They have a track record for success. A great upline that teaches you how to attract people on the internet.

    Well, I would have to disagree with that ALL MLM programs are bad. I'm not to found of MLM, because its kind of hard to market just a money making program. Now I have been what I consider successful Network Marketer, but it wasn't over night. It took me about a year and I'm not a millionare or anything like that , but I now do it full time from home and make enought to pay the bills and have extra spend to treat the family to things :p. I put in a 4 to 5 hour day, 5 to 6 days a week, and enjoy every minute of it, but like I said, it was not over night :cool:.

    My advise Watch for ANY program that is OVER HYPED with promises of big Money real quick, fancy cars, and big houses. See how long they have been in business, watch for again big hype on companies that are going into Pre-Launch phase. Is there Comp Plan understandable and easy to explain to others and can you make a realistic income from it. And what tools do they offer you besides an affiliate capture pages and banners to build your downline with... Also, how accessable is your sponsor and what are they doing to build their downline in this same company or program.

    These are just a few thing to look for when joining Any type of MLM or Network Marketing company or program :).

    I think I saw the funniest video about MLM SEO....
    They were saying SEO guys are loners and would not like the community culture of MLM...
    Found that slightly insulting, but then again we are to well educated in online marketing to know better ;)

    Problem with MLM is the company relies on you to sell 1 or 2 products so you don't even make minimum payout.
    Even if you do, they only want you to make a few bucks.

    90% of MLM companies are built for people to fail

    Forget about MLM. They don't know nothing about internet marketing( spam on CL don't make you an internet marketer)
    ,they don't know nothing about self-employ attitudes, they don't know nothing about the job market.The only one that
    knows very well all things is the founder of the company , he uses his knowledge to scam your money, your time etc etc.....

    > 99% of MLM programs are scams. Invest time and money into affiliate marketing instead.

    I recently discovered a program online that was adding people to join
    a MLM business they had found and instead of joining directly to the company
    itself, the person who owned this website asked people to join him in joining this company. What he was promising was for everyone who joined him free to
    join this MLM company he found he would give each person who joined the company 3 members to join under them. So I did join him and in no less then
    2 day's he emailed me with 3 names of people who will join under my link when
    i join the company. I did this and sure enough it happened and now my down
    line in this MLM company is growing fast. What the website owner got out all
    this was his own 3 down line members under him. The link to this site is here

    Any MLM is good for the early entrants. Those who join at later date does not get desired benefits. It is a very common experience of mlm.

    To be honest you should stay away from MLM. I've never had good experience with it and I've never heard of anyone who has had good experience with it.

    I lost my shirt in MLM. Take the advice most are giving you and run far away from MLM. Someone always loses and it will probably be you now that I am done.

    All MLM firms are bad news. But if you insist on going into MLM, you might want to look into bigger and more "reputable" firms such as Amway or Mary Kay.

    To tell you the truth.

    ACN is the best MLM ever conceived

    They deal with the telecommunications industry and are partnered with SPRINT, T-MOBILE, VERIZON, AT&T, DIRECTV, DISH NETWORK, and ADT


    They soon will be in the utilities industry (Electricity and Gas) and pay residually

    I'm in it and only 21 and makegood money and my business has expanded nationally.

    Its been a blessing to me. Alot of other MLM's out there sell junk people don't need
