Hi "Iceskater",
My guess is Melaleuca...
MLM and instead call it a made up name...Consumer Direct Marketing or
something like that.

The mistake you make here is using the word "when" to talk about the
money coming in. The more appropriate word is 'IF". Would you be ready
to give up if you knew for a fact that less than 2% of those that get involved
with MLM make ANY money (a large portion of that money is the low dollar
amounts).
If you think about it, really think about it.....a business model that requires
98% of the people to fail (and it works best if those that fail place those
qualifying orders each month and be good little distributors even without
making a commission) in order to work for that 2%. Is this something that
you feel comfortable telling people you solicit? Are you okay with just about
everyone you solicit into the business losing a lot of money?
Just some questions to ask yourself. I had a friend years ago whose
husband was in Quixtar for over TEN YEARS and he religiously went to the
meetings, seminars. He bought all the marketing paraphanalia and still after
all that time, didn't make a dime.
When I was first involved with MLMs, I thought MLMs were just
misunderstood and had a bad reputation due to bad companies. Truth is, "I"
misunderstood. No one tells you the cold hard truth or shows you the REAL
numbers that can't lie.
AND if it is Mela, their products are NOT what the distributors claim they are.
Don't believe any hype, do research on the actual ingredients. Their
personal care products wouldn't be touched with a 10 foot pole by anyone in
natural circles.
If you are ever looking for ideas for working at home, I've compiled a list of
telecommuting companies and would be happy to share. You CAN use that
drive you've learned and push yourself into your development zone without a
MLM! ;)
Good luck!
Lauren
