“In Business” by Roland Millward

Many people over the years have dreamed of having their own business. They have probably seen advertisements or been approached by friends offering them the opportunity to join a ‘wonderful’ business. Promises of huge earnings offered with very little work once you get a ‘downline’, a group of people all selling the product for you. You will earn a slice of every sale down to so many generations deep.

Do such MLM (multi level marketing) schemes work? Well for a few the answer is yes. But it is only a few compared to the thousands that join these schemes. You have to be at the top of the pyramid. (Yes it is a pyramid something denied by MLM fans). My advice is to keep well away from them.

Selling products on commission is fine but why share that commssion with others? The products these schemes offer are usually hard to sell at inflated prices so be able to pay others a slice and so sales are difficult to make.

Find your own products to sell or sell someone else’s. Pay commission to others and have a team of affililiates but avoid MLM.

To your success!
