MLM's DON'T WORK .. Long Term!

By Donna Stewart


I have had so many people come to me asking me if MLM's work.


My short answer. No, definitely not long term.


Now, hear me out. I'm not saying Home Businesses don't work. I'm saying any business that has an MLM business model will not work long term.


Question: Is there an MLM company that started in the USA in the past 30 years, that grew to 300 million in annual sales, and then continued to grow for each of the following 3 years?


Hmmmm? Interesting question isn't it. I have yet to find one MLM that meets that criteria.


Why? My theory: MLM's have a poor business model yet hundreds of new ones pop up every day. (To replace the old ones that have gone under.)


Some people will be successful. No question about that. But they are making serious money at the expense of thousands who do not and who will get hurt.


Another Question: If you are currently in an MLM, how many people are you willing to hurt to make money? Some of you may not even realize that you are involved in something that will hurt people and their families financially.


Most leaders that are in MLM companies have come from another and will eventually join another. Again, at the expense of hurting people for their own personal gain.


Now there are some MLM's that have a product(s) like candles, skin care, Knick Knacks, Kitchen tools etc...and some have great products. However...can you build a long term residual income where you have a customer base that consistently shops month after month?

Then there are MLM's where it seems just too good. Seriously, you've seen the emails and facebook posts right?


GET IN NOW!

SECURE YOUR SPOT!
PRE-LAUNCH, JOIN WHILE IT'S HOT

ETC...

Enough already! Below I've listed "some" MLM companies that are either closed, bankrupt, or on their way out. What MLM is going to be next? It's just a matter of time. In my humble opinion, the business model does not work long term.

"If you are a person with big dreams and would love to support others in achieving their big dreams, then the network marketing business is definitely a business for you. You can start your business part-time at first and then as your business grows, you can help other people start their part-time business. This is a value worth having - a business and people who help others make their dreams come true." -- Robert T. Kiyosaki, Entrepreneur and Author

[apolinario]

Really? What if makakita ka ug MLM company na more than decades na nag operate. Katong mga MLM company na bankrupt kay dri ra to sa Pilipinas gi form.

There are several way how to choose good MLM company.

Really?? You're going to help someone become successful in something that is eventually going to fail? Perhaps they do this to earn more money for themselves and so that they have a list of people to promote the next venture they jump in to?


My personal goal is to educate people on the realities of having a real, lucritive, long term home business and to help to achieve whatever their goals might be.

[apolinario]

Pila na sila ka tuig nag operate before na bankrupt?

[Metz]

MLMs are good but you have to be careful kay naay uban wa jud klaro ang business model. And gitiwasan pajud nga daghan kaayo way klaro nga MLMs nanubo diri. Kabalo naman ka sa pinoy basta easy money patok na patok..maski obvious kaayo nga di jud sustainable ang gains even at a first glance, kay di lagi financially educated.

if interested ka ug long term investments I can guide you.

[lorenzoleo]

Choose an MLM by track record. Make sure that their product is more on the long term.

Yes they did recommend it, but do they join in this kind of business? do they own one?

Low Investment = Short Term
Low Risk = small ROI

Maybe not all.

Planetbiz International Inc., in which I am a founding member, will make the rest of the MLM companies irrelevant.

Grabe. Power. Payaman na talaga kami this October 2010.
