Yes I am sure that almost everybody did hear about that, there are a lot of scams that operate with network marketing modell, and it appears to be only those few at the top of the pyramide scheme that "earns" a buck. The rest loose their money.
I personally know a lot of successful people involved in the UK with network marketing or mlm, and you certainly do not have to be at the top to earn the money, and you can at all levels. It is the same with anything, what you put into it you get out of it.
Gone are the days when network marketing or MLM (Multi Level Marketing) used to be the superstar... But now things have changed. People have become more intelligent. They know what works and what doesnt. There have been many scams in this industry so I would suggest that you dont look at it things in a get rich quick manner but in a more of a hardworking way....
I was just about to post in this thread until I realized jerome is banned...probably got banned for doing this mentioned in this post? =)
I've been involved marketing products using network marketing for the past 10 years. I've had a positive experience with it and made a lot of money, one of the main reasons it gets a bad rap is people don't realize how much work it actually is. It's not a get rich quick scheme and does require a ton of work, similar to starting up your own company. I'm marketing a new site called jippidy.com. Establishing a network of commission based sales people can be very powerful.
I realized basically that entire lega can be lost overnight for nothing more that somebody changing their mind. I decided my family need a more solid foundation for income than that model offered.
