How To Not Get Scammed In MLM


BEFORE you join any MLM company, READ THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Be aware of all the ways you can LOSE YOUR CHECK. (For example, most companies DO NOT want you to use their name in ads on online unless they approve it IN WRITING)

UNDERSTAND THE COMP PLAN. Be aware of EXACTLY what it will take to earn the amount of money you want, whether it's $1 or $1 million. (TRUST ME, your compensation is 5%-10% of all the business your group brings to the company. That means you, your customers, their customers, THEIR customers, etc. Your pay plan may cut off at a certain level, but there's more volume underneath it--- you just don't get paid on it. If you have a way of knowing how much ALL your volume is, your check is usually 5%-10% of that.)

LOOK AT YOUR PRODUCT/SERVICE. If comissions on that are pennies, and the real money is made on websites, memberships, agencies, monthly fees, etc.--- IT IS A SCAM. Some scams are LEGAL, and can go on for years. The legal system is a court of LAW, not a court of JUSTICE. Any good lawyer can tell you how to get away with breaking the law. All MLM companies have lawyers.

YOU ARE FREE to join or not join ANY company, whether it's a scam or not. Just remember YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE, and ignorance of the law is no excuse. SCAM PEOPLE AND YOU CAN GET BUSTED, whether you MEANT to do it or not. THAT's why I do what I do!
