I just re-watched this a year after I made it and, in retrospect, this is one of the best and most important videos I have made. If you are considering an MLM opportunity - or suspect that what you've been offered is an MLM opportunity... WATCH THIS NOW!!!! There are instances of good and bad multi-level marketing. But it is wise to know what it is and what the pitfalls are, before you get involved. Here, I take an objective look at what MLM is and how it works.

Great video as always! Crystal clear and well researched

Excellent video. Most of the big MLM Earners earn most of their money selling motivational tools and speaking at Functions. I would love to see your take on this side of the Business which is a side that not many talk about.

It's a good topic, but the channel is about providing understanding and practical training, rather than opinion. I am aware that this particular video may have strayed a little towards opinion. But my aim was to show how the model works.

Please create a video lecture on Unique selling proposition Vs Positioning Is USP really dead, as was told to us in the late 90s?

There is a very well documented 99.7% Loss Rate in all MLMS.

This would not surprise me, but the key is in the definitions. Do you have a reference, so we can assess the data?

Excellent video, thank you! However, I have a question regarding procurement and pricing: Does downline buy the products directly from upline or rather from multi-level organization? If they buy from upline, prices must increase with every level down the structure to earn some margin. That‘s my understanding, or am I missing something?

I don't know for sure, but my expectation is that the downline will sometimes buy directly from their upline, and sometimes directly from the organization - which would then credit the upline agent. I suspect prices don't increase, and that the margins are built in. That's why MLM products are often (not always, I'm sure) overpriced for their quality point. But, I have never been tempted to join an MLM scheme (for reasons that I hope are obvious), so I can only speak from secondary research.

When you are an employee doesn’t the employer benefit from the people they employ? Doesn’t The IRS make money off everyone who gets a paycheck?

Yes. And yes (if you're in the US). Employ: the exchange payment for labor. Taxation: imposing a charge for the services the state provides

@@ManagementCourses job equals slavery. You don’t own it, they can easily replace you, there’s no generational wealth 🙅🏽‍♀️ The IRS taxes employees the most since they are considered a liability instead of an asset to society. Most people suffer from neurotypical disorder which causes them to be committed to misunderstanding things they don’t understand. My company which is often misclassified as MLM has created the most 6 & 7 figure income earners out of any company in North America. I won’t say which company you can just google it💯

Great video, very helpful for a position I was interested in until they told me the real pay.

I like the introductory part but please research well sir. Don't give a cool business like this a bad name. It's only made for entrepreneurially minded individuals and not for those who see every ground as a comfortable ground you must work your business for it to grow.

It may be that some 'entrepreneurially minded individuals' can thrive, but only if they get in early. And too many people are gulled into losing a lot of money by unscrupulous MLM schemes. Often, they lose their money to the unscruplous entrepreneurs at the to of the MLM line.

You say potayto - I say potahto. It is carefully researched to explain how MLM works. I suspect you have an upline dog in this race.
