Have you ever been involved with Multi-Level-Marketing? [View all]

Did you make any money? Back in the 70's I sold Viviane Woodard and Tupperware... briefly. It was fun, but it wasn't profitable. I think I sold more to MYSELF than anyone else. After I'd bugged all my family members and friends, the market kinda fizzled out. (But, with the cosmetics, I did get some repeat business.)

Oh... here's what made me think of it.

The documentary exposed the inner workings of the MLM business model. These companies recruit contractors to sell their products and recruit more independent contractors. The more people a contractor brings into the company, the more money they stand to gain.

Many of these businesses recruit their contractors through flattery and promises of wild riches. However, according to one estimate, only 25 percent of those in an MLM turn a profit. And the Federal Trade Commission has even designated some MLMs as pyramid schemes.
