I have an ex-wife who is very excited about this new drink made from pomegranate juice which is supposed to cure a multitude of ills. Only thing is, it costs 60 bucks a month unless you sign up with her to become one of her distributors (then it’s 40.00).
Have any of you actually joined an MLM lately, and have you profited?
Thanks
Q
What’s an MLM?
I can guarrantee you that pomegranate juice will not cure all that ails you. However, it will taste very, very good.
MLM=Multi-level Marketing
I think MLMs have always been a losing proposition for all but a slim minority, usually those who got in at the very beginning.
Like a Ponzi scheme some people at the beginning will make good money from MLM systems.
But Damn! Pomegranate Juice?
That one’s been around like 3 years. Your Ex would be last in line.
By the way I have consulted peripherally around a few of these and I can say with out any doubt that the people who are successful with them work their asses off.
A lot of overnight travel. Schmoozing complete and utter morons. The absolute suspension of disbelief.
Your product is not juice or cow dung or video phones, its a picture of a lazy life built by hard work.
To build 7 downlines you’ll need 50 or 60 recruits. And the 7 good ones will need 50 or 60 recruits.
Some MLMs are more legitimate than others but the product is always the same.
My ex-wife went from one MLM to another. She also joined an almost cult-like religion with the same devotion, both of which were reasons why she’s an ex.
There’s a few who make lots of money and then the 99% who lose, and you have to have a certain amount of ruthlessness to be in the top 1%.
Either you are bad at selling or you are good at selling. If you are bad selling, forget it. If you are good at selling, there’s a lot of simpler ways to make more money.
