If you were going to start a home business, with all its bad rep, why would you possibly consider MLM?
Marcello asked:
Considering how many possibilities are out there for business startups, even if you think MLM is terrific why would you consider going into MLM knowing well in advance that a large portion of the population not only whats nothing to do with you but also looks down on your industry?

If you tell your friend and family that you are going into business for yourself, nearly all will wish you best and root for you, but as soon as you tell then its MLM / Network Marketing, half those people immediately put up their defenses.
On this basis alone, why would you choose a business where you are starting off with one hand tied behind you back due to the poor image?
again you see MLMers dance around the question with false assumptions. My profile clearly states what I do and no, i was never duped into MLM.
Now, if anyone actually able to answer the question???
Beth R - rhetorical? So you think just because you can’t come up with an answer yourself that makes the question rhetorical? Nice try.

People don’t like MLM or network marketing because in the past many MLM companies have went bankrupt and people lossed a lot of money they invested.
So people try to stay away from that. Plus people don’t want like you starting an MLM / networking marketing business because they just think you want to be rich without doing a lot of work.
I’ve heard great and bad things from MLM companies but I don’t let other people stop you from doing what you want to do.
a Home Business is vague, to me at least, i wouldn’t put up my defenses if it was a home based business.
Did you get burned or something? Ya know for me personally If I don’t like something I try to spend as little time doing it or concerning my self with it as possible. Focus on building your own life and not trying to tear down others. Move on! Go ahead and hit the thumbs down button multiple times, unlike you I am far less concerned about what others think of me!
Poor baby mama said no one is supposed to turn the tables on you! WAAAAA WAAAAA.! I choose not to waste my time. Lets talk about the psychology behind your anger.
What MLM business were you in that damaged your inner child so much that you continue to ask rhetorical questions regarding MLMs?
Then why do you give a sh.it?
The reality is that the majority of people joining MLM would have no clue how to start their own business. They need someone to spoon feed them scripts, marketing, products, compensation plans, etc. So MLM makes it easy for them to open a “business”.
Therefore, they have no concern for having one hand behind their back because to start a normal business to them would be the equivalent of doing it with both hands tied behind their backs and with their eyes closed. MLM is the only way these people have a chance, and being that its MLM and the entire industry has some ungodly high failure rates and despicably low income averages that chance is pretty much nill anyway.
Mind’s Eye - you clearly give yourself too much credit. How have you turned the tables on this question? If anything, you come across as a child with the manner in which you present yourself. Also, most ironically, why would someone who professes to have no concern for what others think spend so much time defending Primerica in your Q & A? It would seem you are quite hypocritical, and thus a natural for MLM. Bravo!
