Are You Promoting a Scam?

July 13, 2007 7:31am CST
Are the products or services that you offer really what they say they are? Can you truly backup everything you place in your ads? How many of us are promoting scams and don't even know about it? I sometimes wonder about these questions as I read all the offers that are sent to me. I must say, I wonder if network marketing is all just a lie. What do You think?

I personally believe in all the opportunities on my website. It is in my profile. They work. They are not, however, get rich quick schemes. They wont let you quit your job either. But I am earning enough money on them that I will be able to pay for Christmas this year with the money I am earning on line.

I hate questions posed like this. The answer is yes and no. Some network marketing is a lie, some isn't. Just like any other company or product, you should do your research before investing time or money. It's hard to tell if you are also referring to affiliate programs. There are many guides out there to help you discover what is and isnt a scam. Common sense should tell you many of them. If it's offering you money and saying you don't have to do anything - uh, duh, not true. If it's supposed to be network marketing or an MLM and there is no product or a really crappy product, that tells you not to get involved. Part of the problem with the industry is the reps. The comapanys may be on the up and up and have a great product (and you'd be surprised at how many network marketing companies have really great products) but the reps blow it. Unfortunatley, companies have no control over what the reps say. I have been involved with three network marketing companies. All three were very legitimate. The first one, was not the company for me. The products were good, but not something I loved. I didn't care for the way the "business" was sold. I didn't believe in what they suggested people to do, even if it was to give them confidence. The second company I started with, I like a lot. The company is very people/family oriented. The really do care about the members. They want people out of debt and don't want people buyingmorethan they need. I also love the products. They are high quality, I get better deals than I would at the store, I earn free products and I can make money. I will always use their products, even if I decide to stop doing the business some day. The third company I started with, I barely new anything about the company, but I jumped it anyway. I didn't believe their product would work, because it was too good to be true. It worked, and I signed on asap. It's something pople have been waiting for and I'm happy to give them. Do your homework and please don't lump all network marketing companies in together. People cringe enough when they here that word or MLM, but forget that some good companies are network marketers - Avon & Tupperwear for instance. When was the last time you heard anyone ask if Tupperware was a scam. It's just a different way to do business.
