I met a guy back in 1989 who promised me I could be a millionare in 5 years with hard work in MLM. He'd said that the motivacional conventions, books and tapes were an investment. The company do not endorsed the tapes, but the people at the top positions says that you didn't exist as a business owner if you didn't buy the motivacional packages. Back in 1999, after 35 years, that company changed his name to an e-mail only distributor and my friend quit. He tried to offer me to enter "again" back in 2003. Actually he owns a mens only clothes store in his mother's pharmacy garage. I'd met millionaries from differents backgrouds,
in and out of MLM, and all say that you could be the next millionare doing the same job as the did. Do they are true or just a rip-off?

LOL...enjoying all the spam in the first chunk of answers? Typical MLM mentality, someone asks an MLM question, and MLMers line up to spam you with their business opportunity without regard for the question. Ug!

As far as your question, consider doing a logical analysis of what it takes to earn 1 million annual dollars in MLM. In MLM, the average commissions payout is 1-2%, with a few higher on certain levels, and many much much lower. Buts let's use even that 2%, assuming you could get an average 2% payout on your sales and your entire downline. For you to make $1 million annually that would require $50 million in annual sales. Plenty of companies can do $50 million in sales, so what's the problem with this you ask???

Well, ask yourself how much of the product you see yourself being able to sell personally and assume that everyone in your downline should be able to average out to the same amount as you (give a realistic analysis of what everyone in MLM can sell personally). Could you sell $500 of product a month? Well, if you could, then you would need over 8,000 people in your downline doing the same thing. Sure, that is mathematically possible, but now consider...

All those 8000 people need to be selling $500/month EVERY month for YOU to earn $1 million annually. However, the people at the bottom of your downline who are only selling that $500/month are only making $5 bucks a month commission, which means they are not going to continue sticking around unless they can also build the same business, or at least something. So now they have to build geometrically as well or you will suddenly lose your million dollar income.

What does this mean? Well, on a 3x3 matrix, where you sponsor 3 who sponsor 3 and so on, you get the following:

You
Level 1 - 3
Level 2 - 9
Level 3 - 27
Level 4 - 81
Level 5 - 243
Level 6 - 729
Level 7 - 2,187
Level 8 - 6,561
Level 9 - 19,683

So its clear that you will find your 8,000 people somewhere between your 8th and 9th level. But for those same people to stay in the business and build their own downline, they ALL need to build or they will not stick around for $5 a month. So now those levels look like this:

Level 10 - 59,049
Level 11 - 177,147
Level 12 - 531,441
Level 13 - 1,594,323
Level 14 - 4,782,969
Level 15 - 14,348,907
Level 16 - 43,046,721
Level 17 - 129,140,163
Level 18 - 387,420,489

Clearly you can see the problem, and clearly no MLM in history has ever come close to 387 million distributors. Now consider if that was even possible, what would happen when those 387 million people build their downline? lol

The reality is, there probably are a few who have build over 8,000 downlines and have people selling lots of product, but no one in MLM history has ever been able to maintain this. To suggest otherwise would be the same as suggesting that their MLM has over 387 million distributors (of course, there are the naive few who actually believe their company will be that big, yet still can't grasp that its a short few levels from being over 6 billion people).

Now let's get back to one point...and that is the selling of $500 of product every month. There are plenty of people who are capable of doing this, and plenty who will do much better. But look at the product and really ask yourself if you think the average MLMer is going to sell that amount, and sell it over and over month after month for a long period of time? The fact is, in MLM, most never sell that much personal volume (other than what they buy initially) and the average MLMer works the business for less than a couple months. Yet naive MLMers think they have access to residual income.

So to answer your question, is anyone in MLM making millions. Maybe a couple, but not continually, and there are thousands of easier ways in life to make millions than MLM.

Find an MLMer who will logically try to dispute the numbers as oppose to emotionally calling you names and I will show you a person who will soon be out of MLM. Logically analyzing MLM is all that is all it takes for the average MLMer to realize they chose MLM because they were naive.

For $14.50 to become a member this month, this is for people that are serious and who don’t want to be misled as we have tried many things and have found a company that has been around for 21 Years and pays you to advertise for them. My wife and I just started and are doing well. It is not an MLM company and no selling, no deliveries or stocking product. My wife’s aunt has been working with this Company (Melaleuca) for a little over 3 years and home schools 3 kids and makes $9,000 a month. It is a 500 Inc company and the CEO is on the U.S. Chamber of commerce board. I can arrange a web cast with my wife’s aunt for you and you can decide by yourself and WE WILL help you be successful. It is an honest Win Win.
If you want to see a web cast (presentation) from your home let me know and I will arrange it as that truly is the way to see all about Melaleuca. Have you heard of it. We have just gotten started with my wife's aunts help as it is a team effort and it is fun. Just a quick F.Y.I. 8 out of 10 people that see the web cast join the company and 95% of the people that join re-order product each and every month. Let me know when you are ready and we will set up the web cast.

You can definitely earn millions, if you start a MLM company or get in early. The key is to have thousands of people work under you, and this is only possible if you are close to the top of the organization.
