I used to be offended when some would ask me this question, or say "Oh it's pyramid" with utter disdain. Now I honestly laugh (inside of course) to this thought. If you take an honest critical look at what is going on in culture you will see that EVERYONE is building a web. That is they way I view direct sales or network marketing. Like a vast web of links and connections that allow the original connector the benefit of additional income for actually making those connections. We are paid to be educators or distributors of information firstly. It is that information that ultimately sells a product and adds new business partners.
Unfortunately, there has been way too much hype about the industry and some unscrupulous people giving this industry a bad name. It is a shame. But mark my words....you watch the next 5 years and see the serge in growth around the world in this underground business model. In fact, the DSA's numbers about the industry don't lie. There are some great books to read about the industry just to educate yourself as you pursue a business opportunity or grow your current work at home business.
Get honest for just a moment. If you were going to go get a 9-5, work for someone else job.... after you pay for child care, dry cleaning, meals and the cost of driving studies show that you make less than $5 an hour. So what if you could decrease the stress in your life, keep your home rhythm consistent and make more than $5 an hour working form home a few hours a week? Not to mention the many tax benefits you get from actually being a business owner. Why wouldn't you get educated about this industry, choose a winning team and be committed to learning how to make it work. For the 4 of us it has been life changing.

I wholeheartedly agree... I took a seminar recently on the statistics around the direct selling industry (I believe they were gathered directly from the DSA) - anyway the industry is so huge and gaining so much momentum, corporate america is starting to sit up and take notice. They are seeing the benefits from mult-level marketing and recognize that it is an extremely successful business model. Some corporations are starting to model the approach.
I believe that direct sales/multi-level marketing allows women, especially, to "Have their cake and eat it too!" Women no longer need to choose between being a mother and having a successful career!
Thanks for drawing attention to the matter.
Absolutely, especially since it is one of the biggest objections we get.
