All it takes to prove that MLM is bad is to do some simple math. While it can work well for the first few people who get in, the math quickly adds up and pretty soon everyone in the country would have to participate in order for the MLM participant to come out ahead. Sorry. Unless you can prove that two and two makes three, you won’t be able to prove that MLM works.
The current model of multi-level marketing depends on people to fail for it to work. If it worked for everyone, then it would only be a matter of years before everyone on the planet was involved in it. The people who were the last to sign up will get nothing and soon the whole thing would dry up. In order for the MLM to work, it needs people to join, put their money in, and then fail. This keeps the MLM from hitting market saturation. It is simple math. I have known too many people get involved in this stuff and turn into MLM vampires trying desparately to find their next victim.
Now, if yours never, ever asks for its members to put in their own money then that is different. You say it is free. Does that mean that the members never have to put in money? How can we trust you? You have no accountability here. You are asking people to trust you, yet if it turns out that you were lying or were wrong, you suffer in no way whatsoever.
There are much better ways to make money than by going with an MLM. The people I knew who just were careful with their budgets and saved their money ended up with much more than my other friends who have tried MLMs.
ADDED:
You say that there is a product involved. There had better be or else you are just running a pyramid scheme. Still, if the product is worth anything, there should be no need to run the business as an MLM.
Also, what product are you talking about? Is it something that can be purchased easily enough at Wal-Mart? If so, then you had better be giving them away (which will take a bite out of your 60%). Face it, MLMs will never be able to compete with traditional stores and websites using a tradition selling format.
The fact that you’re doing this sounds like sheer desperation…Theres a catch theres always a catch I haven’t seen or been involved in any MLM yet where there wasn’t one. I’ve never a dime from any of them.You’re not the first person to make that sort of a challenge and you won’t be the last..Frankly, I’m sick of the lot of ya ..You take people’s time,money and energy and you give them nothing…MLM’s should be outlawed..period…
