Why are you so convinced about MLM?
Hi Don,
Thanks fo your response. Well, I had been in some MLM, my friends had been in some MLM, and I have read about some MLM, so I can write the article. If you would like to know further please read my posts “Why you should never join MLM” at:

You see, most people want fast and passive money, and that’s why they join MLM companies. However, they do not notice that according to statistics, most of MLM are scam-ful, and most of those who joined, end up scammed. Bill Gates successfully made Windows the most popular operating system in the world because he did NOT sell it through MLM.
A few days ago, I read Darryl Kimball’s article about MLM, where he said that he had been in a MLM company for years when a newbie in his company accidentally prospected him, and guess what, he didn’t like it! That’s funny. He finally felt what all his prospected people felt. Too bad he does not join this carnival. Ahh I forgot the title of his posts.
