Anyway this was very informative I didn't realize that that sort of job was called MLM. I'm very interested in this. Also I lost my job 3 months ago and I'm really struggling to pay the bills. Hopefully I can find success just like you did. Wow I’m so happy for you. Anyway this was very informative I didn’t realize that that sort of job was called MLM. I’m very interested in this.

That is paid by the company, not out of a consultants cut, directly to the higher up (recruiter). "in an MLM structure, when you sell something, a part of your profit goes directly to the person on top of you (the one who recruited you)" Your profit in MK is always 100% wholesale (or 50% of retail). That never changes. If you are a director, MK corporate pays you a commission out of their corporate earnings- not your down lines. Get it right-this isn't hard.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:37:27 +0000 http://www.gatherlittlebylittle.com/?p=2009#comment-11737 Thank you for this post. My best friend recently became a rep for Mila, which is a relatively new MLM product line/company, and every single conversation we have had since she joined up has included a reference (by her) to this product -- if not centered on it. It makes me really sad, because I am concerned that I'm going to lose her friendship / she's going to lose my friendship over it. Thank you for this post.

I think it might be a good sideline for some, but if you don't have time to invest in finding new markets and networking with new groups of people, I don't see how it's sustainable.
