There is so much more to it then that. If youre looking at it as a sales gig, then you are absolutely correct. MLM isnt sales. When I ran my business the most sales I would do is when someone would ask me about a product I was using, id tell them about it and say I happen to sell it as well if they ever wanted any. I had no sales pitch. I didnt talk about my products online. There was no hype. Id let them try it themselves, if they liked it theyd buy, if not, no sweat off my brow, like I said I dont make a lot of money off it anyways. So youre correct, theres not much money in selling MLM products. If you try to make money that way and that way only, you will be investing a lot of money for not much return.
If you know how to do it and do it right, there is no better lifestyle. You get to use great products for free (which MLM products do tend to be extremely high quality), teach people how to make money, then keep making that money residual for work you did once and have it keep increasing by itself without increasing your effort. You gain outstanding friends, meet many new people, have people with a financially vested interest in you so you can guarantee they will only give you the best advice and they will literally walk you through everything step by step, and travel.
Id like to see a white label that offers that.
