Can anyone suggest a good multi-level marketing company with a great product that is not a scam?

Question

(Not including Avon, Mary Kay or Prepaid Legal)

Answer 1

Here are some clues that your "great opportunity", or work-at-home job is merely a multi-level marketing scam:

- The "ad/job posting" you saw in the paper or Internet promises the potential to make huge amounts of money. If the salary seems too good to be true, it is.

- When you call the number listed and the operator is not willing to tell you anything on the phone about the company or product, but instead says, "everything will be 'covered' in the interview."

- If the "job interview" is hosted at a hotel, and when you arrive in the conference room, it is filled with dozens of other people like yourself looking for a job.

- If the "host" begins the "group interview" with a video of success stories on how you too can become the next millionaire in only weeks. Especially if even after watching the video, you still have no clue what the product is or what the company does.

- If they ask you to make some sort of financial commitment.

Few people ever recoup their initial investment, let alone get rich. Unfortunately, most people wind up wasting hours of time and squandering hundreds or even thousands of dollars. There is many a story where the only thing they did was wind up alienating their friends and family.

So before you sign your life away or quit your "day job," make sure to ask yourself, "is this really what I want to do?"


Some extra tips about unsolicited emails. Many unsolicited job emails are really "Phishing" attempts. What is Phishing? "Phishing" is the act of sending an e-mail to you falsely claiming to be a legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam you into disclosing private information. Government, financial institutions and online auctions/pay services are common targets of phishing.

- contact the enterprise by using a telephone number or website obtained by a credible source and report
- never e-mail personal or financial information
- use anti-spyware, firewall and anti-virus software
- don't forget to update software on a regular basis
- never give your bank information to anyone who contacts you over the internet
- never give your social insurance number to anyone who contacts you over the internet

Good Luck

Answer 2

I thought the idea of multi-level marketing was where you got people to work for you, and you make money on thier work, as well as your own. Does the american dream incorpoate getting people to work for you? I thought the american dream was about "making it" on your own, perhaps having your own business, but certainly does not require you to be an employer. So I see little correlation. And then you use the word scam. As pointed out, not all multi-level marketing is a scam. So in that sense, is some of the "american dream" a scam? Now here I see some potential. For instance, as some have said, part of the american dream is that anyone can "make it", and I think the reality is that not everyone can make it. Many will fail, some because of thier race, parents, geography, etc. Oh yes, some will overcome some of these obstacles, but they will be a minority.

I work with bittersweet candles and sweetcupcake candles. Both are good companies, one being brand new, but I really liked them because there is very little start-up cost. One was free and one was less than thirty and came ith a $20 coupon. Also, the commission is good and there is not a lot of pressure to recruit. In fact downline commissions are very low compared to other companies, which I like because 1) it keeps the product cost lower and 2) You shhould be getting the credit for your sales. If you want more information on them just email me trhough here. Also, before I signed up for any, I did hours and hours of research so I can probably answer questions about a lot of other mlm companies.

Answer 4

There are tons of good MLMs out there. You really have to decide what kind of products you can believe in and also, what kind of products will the people you know buy. You will be starting your business by selling/advertising to the people you know so that is pretty important. Some of the better known companies include Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Partylite, Discovery Toys, and Creative Memories. For more choices, check out these sites:

Answer 5

My company is not an MLM, however if you are looking for something you can do from home then I believe that we have a very cutting-edge product that is highly sought after. The company is based in the US but has just gone international and is in it's 6th year, debt-free. I will work with professional-minded people who have definite personal and financial goals and a strong desire to achieve them. You may contact me directly for more information.

Answer 10

http://www.familytelecom.com and look for the opportunity link.

You will not get rich, but there is NO payment required. It sells telecomunication and phone services, etc.

I have a big family, got them all to sign up and I get a check periodically. I suppose if I went out and sold I'd make more.
