People that choose the path of making money outside of the job usually become intrigued with MLM and what it promises to give them. You know what MLM is. Don't you? Although there are so-called pyramids schemes out there, MLM or Multi Level Marketing is a business model that is quite different. This is because every time you sell something you earn a commission and the person who hired you earns a commission. Essentially, you make a commission when someone you hire makes a sale, just like the person above you made a commission when you sold a product. It's easy to get taken in by the promise of prosperity. On that same note, let's discuss a few things about MLM that you might find disturbing.

Perhaps the biggest lie MLM companies like to circulate is that they offer a new way of creating financial freedom. However, the MLM business model has been around for many, many years. MLM programs were online already back in the mid-90s, but was relegated to annoying friends and family before that. These days, the vast majority of people are already wary of MLM opportunities, so they stay away from them. This is why people who are new to the market have such a hard time finding new recruits and selling the products that are available. Perhaps the main reason so many beginners fall for MLM is that the sales pitch always makes it sound so simple. In fact, almost every MLm program bases its entire marketing strategy on telling you about how much money you can make. However, there is just as much work involved in setting up an MLM business as there is in setting up almost any other form of online business. Actually, you may find that MLM takes more work to get started, simply because most people already know they want to avoid joining an MLM downline. It's not easy to encourage people to join up under you if they already don't trust MLM.

MLM people will tell others that they can make really quick money. However, it will take you a full month or more just to get set up. You have to do your registration, get trained and received your goods. Then, remember that the products cannot sell themselves. Then, you have to hire new people to work under you. The money will not start coming in overnight. Everyone is the same - we all want to make money online and we will try different things to do it. In searching for a way to make money, you will often come upon MLM companies that are trying to get you to join. Beware of these! MLM can look very tempting - especially when you don't know how many other great methods of online earning there are to choose from. Don't waste your time! Find something else to do. There is so much more to know about this, far beyond what we have discussed. There are lots of other reasons to avoid it too.
