Read what I said; "most if not all" I did not say all. I was quoting a study that was done. If my post would "posion" someones mind on MLM they were not interested in the first place. If they are interested that is up to them, it is just not for me. If any one sees an MLM opportunity and does the research and likes what they find then I say "go for it".

David, Apparently we interpret the meaning of that phrase slightly differently. If I misinterpreted your meaning of it or your intention with your post, I apologize. I based my interpretation in part on your signature. As new friends, we must agree to disagree on this subject. Truce? Cheri

Linda, ========== P.S. Anyone else... can you add to that? - Opinions? - Experiences? - Do you know of an MLM that allows consumers to buy without joining? - What do you look for before committing? =========== Personally, the company I'm involved with pays out more for consumer purchases than for it does for recruiting. I'm not much for recruiting myself, so personally, this is why I decided to go with the company I chose. I also happen to use, adore and swear by the products I am selling, so it's more like educating people than selling for me. I hand out info and free samples...if people are interested, GREAT, if not, perfectly okay also...to date, I haven't had one person that has tried a sample not make a purchase.
