[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The John Oliver segment and The Dream podcast are definitive.   Well over 98%, if not well over 99%, of all MLM participants in MLMs lose money.  It’s all a lie.  Full stop.   Please don’t indulge the deluded and outright criminal maniacs who are here lying.[/quote]

Look I know it doesn’t jive with your worldview, but some people actually DO make money. A minority, but they do. And most MLM sellers are just selling rather than preying on unsuspecting ignorants who should know better.[/quote]

The Dream featured a couple of those people. The most successful ones were earning in the $40s, if I am remembering right.

I think the thing is that most people doing this work don't have other options - either because they live someplace without a robust job market, because they don't have the education or skills for other work, or because they are taking care of family (parents, kids) and need more flexibility than they can get from normal jobs. So you have whole masses of women who are essentially underemployed, and these MLMs take advantage of them. A few do ok with it, and most do not. I wish we had more focus on underemployed women in this country instead of underemployed men. [/quote]

MLMs also have a huge following among women from groups where it is socially unacceptable to work "outside the home." I grew up in a nice, affluent community with a lot of Mormons. Even when the children were older and in school and sports all day, it was still not acceptable for women to work outside the home, even in a part time or "fun" job.[/quote]
