0.025% of the people in an MLM do not lose money;
0.01% of the people in an MLM show a profit;
The typical new recruit to an MLM signs up 2.37 people, before leaving the MLM.
At month 12, the recruiter must _increase_ their efforts, for their
organization to stay the same size.
From month 18, the increase in effort must be exponential, for the
organization size to remain constant.
95% of the people who join an MLM are out within 120 days;
96% of the people who join an MLM are out within 540 days.
99.95% are out by day 720.
Some magic numbers are:
$300 gross within three months they will stay in the organization.
$1 000 gross per month within 18 months they will stay for 5 to 10 years.
I was going to post the results of MLM surveys, but either the
organizationthat did that no longer does so, or else they have decided
that section 508 violations are a virtue. (Considering that it was
sponsored by a pro-mlm organization, I figure it is yet another one
of their ways to ensure that they remain an organization devoted to
training and practicing that which is violates Federal and state
statutes.)

I have. The general response is along the lines of "the 99% that
failed did so, because they refused to be teachable". The alternative
claim is that the data is flawed,because government regulation forces
them to provide false and misleading information.
