02 Apr 07 Multi-Level Marketing / Network Marketing – Lies, Lies, and More Lies

What do most people tell you when they hear that “losing weight and making money can be had through Network Marketing“?

Lie #1: “it’s a scam!”
Truth: Not even close! Everyone that I’ve seen use Network Marketed Weight Loss Products have lost weight, often quite a lot too. And everyone that i’ve seen join Herbalife has made money even me.

Lie #2: “it’s Illegal / pyramid scheme”
Truth: Only if you don’t pay your taxes on all of the money that you make. Actually this is a throw back from a time when people sold business opportunities and made more money from the membership fees than the product sales royalties. It is an important distinction to make but if your going to join one of the big ones like Herbalife, Mary Kay, Avon they have already got a good reputation so you don’t have to worry about anything being shady. In fact some of them are publicly traded companies which means that they get very closely scrutinized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Check out the stock (NYSE: HLF), I wish that i had bought some.

Lie #3: “Only The people at the top, who got in early, make any money”
Truth: In most plans you start making money as soon as you start to sell and the amount that you make is only self limited. The residual income builds up a over time but every year is seeing More people qualifying for the big bucks then every previous year.

Lie #4: “It expensive and most people give up anyway”
Truth: These days the joining cost is way down, with Herbalife being one of the cheapest, and the retention rate is near 50% after 12months!
