Beware of Multilevel Marketing Schemes
By: Jason Cunningham (11-27-2006)
Has anyone ever approached you at a
mall or store about a business opportunity? Generally, the
individual hypes up the amount of money one can make, even before
telling you about the product. Usually, the person who has
approached you, is part of some multilevel marketing.
In the United States, most of us work
in corporate America. The amount of money we make depends on our
type of work and the profitability of the company. Unlike multilevel
marketing operations, your company has real employees. Most of these
business opportunities are more depended on signing up new people to
sell their product, than the actual sale of widgets. Yes, these
so-called businesses are getting fat off people making a business
investment, in order to represent their enterprise.
What is the difference between a
legitimate small business and multilevel marketing. Again, the
majority of small businesses offer a specific type of product or
service to turn a profit. In order for most small businesses to
grow, the business owner will begin to hire more people. Multilevel
marketing do not usually have employees, just owners and downlines.
In multilevel marketing, a downline is the number of people under
you. Many reward you for getting your family and friends'
money to sign up.
So what is really bad about multilevel
marketing? Very few people make a profit from multilevel marketing.
If your lucky, the so-called recruiter gives you the impression the
product sells itself. I have attended several different types of
multilevel marketing meeting. You probably will never witness more
high pressure sales tactics. Some try to convince you that this is a
once in a lifetime opportunity. Unlike real businesses, multilevel
marketing does not require a true employee-employer relationship.
Unless the operation is being shut down, I doubt the opportunity
won't be there tomorrow. So, beware of multilevel marketing.
