Multi-level-marketing has more than a few resemblences to
a pyramid scheme. It's pretty tough to make money actually
selling the goods, the money comes from the stuff paid up
by your downline. This means that you have to recruit sales
people. But everyone else is doing the same trying to build
THEIR downline. Eventually you run out of salespeople (the
population of the planet is finite) and the people at the
bottom don't make much money. Plus MLM is an inefficient way
of selling in that all the levels of distribution put way
too much overhead on the final cost of the goods. MLM isn't
evil, but the way to get rich in it is to start your own
MLM company. Hmm, anyone want to sell this great product
that I'll make up later?
