Here's how to make money in mlm
What you do is be the one to start the company! Pick a product that you can justify ridiculous markups in the hundreds of percent. Vitamins and supplements are perfect. Buy a warehouse full of the cheapest crap you can find straight from China, and then tought it as the next cure for everything that ails all humankind. When you get a few early profits, which is easy to do when you are completely lying about your product, then you rent a lush office and make it look as rich as possible. Run ads in the paper about an amazing six-figure job anyone can have with no qualifications. When people call, just tell them to come to the meeting. At the meeting, sell people the idea that they would like to be rich and that money is good. Do this for as long as possible without actually telling them how the money is made. When you spring it on them that they have to hawk vitamins door-to-door, some of them will walk away, but then tell everyone else that those people are not serious about achieving their dreams. Of every 50-100 people you run through, a handful will have a small amount of success. Make these people managers, and convince them to live as extended of a lifestyle as possible. They all need the most expensive-looking clothes, jewelry, and car that they can get. Whenever new recruits come in, convince them that all the managers are millionaires. After you build an big group of people, then you start selling them books, seminars, and other educational materials. These cost next to nothing to produce (kind of like those crappy vitamins) and you can sell them for whatever people will pay. Tell them they are not serious about success unless they are buying your $1,000 audio CD set. If they ever make any money, it's obvious that the smart investment of that money would be to go to the company success seminar at only $10,000 for the weekend. If they don't have the mlm profits to pay for this stuff (they won't), make sure you take credit cards.
You can mass a giant fortune very quickly this way. Mr Ponzi was fvcking brilliant. But those Captain Bringdowns at the Attorney General's Office are going to be jealous of your success and come shut you down eventually, so the best place to store your fortune is mostly overseas, and also in retainers of top attorneys.
And that is how mlm money is made. Are you the sheep or the wolf?
