What do you think of people who say MLM is a bad business?

Is lack of proper information and training and again focus. I am making Six Figure per Month and people around me are making Fortunes via MLM. Check my profile for a Global one l am working with right now.

I have gotten burned a few times however, my research shows that there are good MLM Companies out there. It just takes a bit of time to sift out the good from the bad.

MLM was misunderstood because some people did something against the Law for their benefit.

Ignorant, bad planing & sometimes bad experience make them to say so, But since there are genuine company & success stories people should stop blaming on MLM companies :)

MLM is not at all a bad business. In fact it is my firm belief that there is no better opportunity than MLM for a Middle Class person to improve his Life Style! Yes there are more scams than genuine opportunities. One has to be cautious while selecting the opportunity & I also endorse Phillipe's comment.

some MLM companies have been around for decades, the governments leave them alone.

MLMs that don't have tangible products are more questionable, in my opinion.

Most that say it's a scam or bad business are the ones that have no clue how they work and don't take the time to learn. They might have also joined a program they thought was MLM and lost their money.
MLM's are not an easy business to start out with but you can make very good money if you pick the write one that fits your. You must be willing to learn and go out of your comfort zone.

MLM is also known as network marketing because you talk to many about your business and listen to who your ar

Most of MLM simply turns out to be a scams, more so in online MLM. More popular the MLM business, bigger the chance of being scammed. Eventually it ends up draining the wealth of investors. There are a very few programmes which is genuine one rest are just bloody money suckers programme.

Some payplan makes it difficult for people to earn the maximum income they promised thereby making it look like exploiting. Important case is the wiping away of points not qualifying for each month and start all over in the new month. Is believing to be an intentional way of not wanting to pay distributors their maximum income thereby causing discouragement and frustration. Otherwise is the best business.

Patience and focus are key to building a MLM business. I don't speak from experience, because I need to stop spreading myself too thin, but I have a friend who dedicated her time and efforts in one MLM company she believes in. After 4 years, she was making a living with it. 2 years later, her business is still growing.

It was good long before. But now, people are fed up of MLM. Everybody trying to keep away from MLM.

I found many business savvy also join in MLM from traditional biz man, top CEO, Professional, Engineer, even a top investor also joining in why? Is it they can't understand in biz? NO. U going to listen the 5% successful ppls or 95% unsuccessful ppls which said they dong biz, but they just stay at home and never talk about it? The important in this kind of biz we all need a very good products and be open. This is the job we going to make a research ourselves before start it. Anyway the MLM just

When someone who is really business-savvy tells you that MLM is a bad business model, it pays to listen because he knows what he is talking about. In any business, it is the person who is in CONTROL that makes money. The person who is not in control of the business will make very little, if any.

In any MLM-based model, it is the owner of the MLM who stands to earn phenomenal profits, as are the top distributors who are probably related in some way to the owner. As for the rest (the cannon fodd

My take on this subject is that you must be dedicated whatever business you choose to make as your business and stick with it as well as believe in the product or service in which you are involved.

My experience was bad with too many MLMs so for me it is a bad experience, but for you might be very good one.

Karen,every body makes money if they work in MLM.Samuel and Szaboks,you are right,each person has got to teach their downlines to do a business and teach their downlines the same.But sometimes you find some people that abanden their downlines and there,you have to find the ways to contact upper leaders who should be pleased to to work with you because you are their business.

Yap, MLM's company need a very very good products and good company background. In fact it is a good model for people who don't have big modal to setup a business and pay the rental, but still can achieve their goal to have a successful business in future. Traditional biz need to put a lot of money to start up, time, location, rental fee, admin fee etc and sometime still can't achieve what they want. In MLM only 5% can achieve becoz 95% of the ppls just treat them for fun and not serious take i

MLM is not a bad business. MLM is the best business model. Lots of people don't know enough about MLM and try it without help. Sure, they fail and can not be trusted in this business modell. If your upline teach you and you can learn, you will be successful.

This is brilliant Mr. Samuel

MLM can be good business if your up line helps your down line advertise and promote.
co-op and helping your down line works best for me.
