Running a network marketing business using the Internet could be easier than offline what I think as on now, I am member of ryze, I often found people making networking for such business there, seems social networking might be good platform, IMO such networking Works! - When you Know How!

Paul,

he mentioned Marketing which means MLM. MLM was a good concept sometime back but cllose to 90% of the MLM programs turned to be fraud due to greed of people on upper level of the chain and I would say that its not worth to work into something which has 90% fraud or risk level.

Yea I know he is talking about MLM ( its also called network marketing or NM ), 90% of MLM could have failed rather than indulged in fraud level what I observed so far though I have not any personal experience for joining such program.

Aren't these just another type of pyramid scheme - which were outlawed in the UK years ago?

I think you are right, but the guy has already joined means he might have invested some money, so let us guide him in positive way if we can.

You mean we should guide him to loose more money ?

Its better to work in a farm and earn by growing crops than investing in MLM chains.

Well pyramid schemes are illegal and a lot of MLM schemes look just like pyramid schemes to me but the Wikipedia article on them suggests that while most are a scam there might be some which are ok. Personally I'd stay clear of the lot but I am a cynical old bastard.

Amway was one of the first MLM companies that came into existing before 10 years or somewhere close to it so that should be considered genuine if they have survived for such a long time.

Its better to stay away from MLM's and Hype's unless you get an opportunity to throw your hands without any investment. StudioTraffic is one of the biggest example I have infront of me as I've seen its day to day working for almost 1 year. Such companies come to an end when Million's of $$$'s start coming their way hundred's of people try to keep 100k for themselves out of 1 Million earned by the company and they are forced to shutdown when people on lower level of chain start demanding their money.

Default network marketing help

Hello,
I am new to this forum and found it after looking for info on network marketing. I am currently unemployed, was down in the dumps and someone suggested a network marketing scheme called 'egames evolution'. Being a little naive i'm not too sure if its a scam or not. Does anybody here have any experience of this business.

Thank you for reading this and any information is appriciated.

Anna.

I don't heard that name so I have no idea about that, I think it is easier to create a blog or site and monetize it through adsense like program or running affliate program or you can work as freelancer by providing your service online for which you are specialize in like writing/programming/web designing etc. If you need more help send me PM.
