Researching MLMs and finding the positive, as well as the negative,
is no guarantee that a person will stay away from them. I give you 3
cases studies:
1) My brother, who introduced me to the Quixtar MLM, told me an
interesting story about how he got convinced to join. Despite the
fact that he also did prior research and found some negative info on
it, when he told his soon-to-be upline sponsor about it, his upline
responded by saying, "Yeah, I saw those websites, too, at first, but
I joined anyway because this is the real thing." The fact that
someone would join despite "negative" info (haha, I still speak like
an Ambot!!) really impressed my brother, and this is one of the
factors that actually convinced him to join!
2) I, too, did read positive as well as negative prior to join
Quixtar, but after hours and hours of researching, I said, "Screw
this, everyone on both sides sound biased, so I can't really know
anything from these websites."
3) This kid, who I contacted, despite watching the NBC Dateline on
the Quixtar scam and having initial apprehensions, after being
contacted by 5 different people in the same day, at the mall where he
worked, went to the meeting and went out enthusiastic. His take on
it was, "If so many people are doing this thing, then there must be
something to it!"
So my point is, just getting the information isn't enough. The
turning point for me was wrong I kept feeling that something was
wrong or off (which, btw, they tell you is a "normal" feeling when
first starting out), and that led me to revisit my research, when I
stumbled upon Merchants of Deception. Reading that really did it for
me. Prior to that, the people I contacted kept asking me about the
negative websites that they saw, which prompted me to actually look
them up in hopes of doing "damage control". I am thankful for these
people because each time I did this, the cult's hold on me loosened a
bit.
