Are Multi-Level-Marketing Companies Ripping You Off?
You've all seen the flashy Ferraris, huge mansions, and seemingly perfect lives of the big multi-level-marketing (MLM) distributors. The general public makes an assumption that these big time distributors must be making their money by selling of millions of dollars of products to their downline. But in a lot of cases, that is far from reality…
Although by law most of them are legit because they have a legitimate product to sell, there is a dark side to the MLM industry that you never hear about during one of their business opportunity meetings.
This is the hidden side business that the overly excited recruiter will never tell you about. They never mention that there is a second business hidden within distributing physical products itself.
This second business in a lot of multi-level-marketing is selling information. Examples of information products are business tapes, CDs, DVDs, quarterly business seminars, monthly voice mail systems, etc.
In fact, an article written by MSNBC has one high level distributor of a certain MLM company admitting to rolling cameras that up to three fourth of their profits come from selling these information products such as tapes, books, etc., and NOT the protein bars, cosmetics, etc. itself!
The fact is, you can get much of the same recycled motivational materials for a fraction of the cost at any website. It is no wonder that a lot of these MLM companies insist that the people you bring in must buy these information products in order to strike it rich with the MLM company.
I'm sick and tired of these MLM companies being deceptive to their distributors and giving them false hope by brainwashing them to listen to those useless motivational tapes
Although there have been no formal investigations on how much the big MLM distributors make from selling information, we can only estimate their profits by the price of each tape being sold multiplied by thousands of distributors per month.
Selling information is big business. And after being in the information business for about a year now, I realized how much money these big time MLM distributors are ripping us off and profiting BIG by focusing on selling these less-than-worthless tapes and business meetings instead of selling the actual products themselves
So if you you see that your upline is shoving those motivational tapes down your throat insisting that it is absolutely crucial to your success, you may want to take a step back and decide for yourself if they really want you to buy the motivational CDs for your own success, or for your uplines own profits!
