Avoid These Top Five MLM Scams
The most infamous MLM scam has gone on since the 1970’s. It is called the pyramid scheme. This is an illegal operation that basically offers huge amounts of profits for every investment made to their program. The most important thing to look out for is if they push for the actual sale of products or services to sell. In the pyramid scheme, they do not. The problem with this scheme is that commissions are paid as new recruits or down-lines come in. However, when the last person fails to recruit anybody, everything stops and crumbles down to the ground. This MLM scam that lures people in by presenting it as a small business opportunity with huge potential involves money paid in without seeing money for the products and or services.

Finding Legit MLM Home Based Businesses
Network marketing is probably one of the most profitable work from home businesses today. By using the Internet as an avenue for their work from home business, they can easily recruit other individuals to sign up for the program at their convenience. Multi level marketing can now be done online, giving people an easier way to complete their tasks.
What is critical; however, is to be able to clearly distinguish legitimate MLM opportunities from possible pyramiding scams. Due to the possibility of earning hefty amounts of money from work from home set-ups, many people have failed miserably only because they associated themselves with the wrong MLM Company. A legitimate MLM opportunity requires a minimal start up fee. Staying clear from MLM companies that ask for huge investments and promise returns, the bigger the investment is. It is most probably a scam.

What is a MLM, Direct Selling, and Network Marketing?
MLM (Multi Level Marketing) and Direct Selling fall under the bigger umbrella of Network Marketing - It is one of the most powerful home based business mediums today. However, the general public’s lack of understanding and the misconceived and tainted reputation of MLM often precede it because of several illegal pyramid schemes that have come about.
MLM and network marketing is a means to distribute products and services and is actually a huge, $100 million dollar industry. It evolved from the basic concept of a door-to-door salesman to what it is today and direct selling has never been the same. The Amway Safeguard Rule was what set the legal standard to ensure that the Federal Trade Commission rules are followed, in response to the pyramiding scheme outbreak of the 70’s and it also ensures the validity of the business opportunity through three important points. These points look into requirements such as the retail sale of the products and services to qualify for any recruiting commissions and /or sales, a mechanism in place to avoid over stocking of inventory without the intention of reselling and the opportunity for a buy back provision for unsold, undamaged and unopened inventory from the representatives who choose to leave.

MLM or Pyramid Scheme?
There are plenty of articles online that will educate you on what to look for in an MLM. A simple search for “What is an MLM?” in Google will probably yield enough results in the first two pages to give you most of what you need. One of my favorite resources is About.com, which has lists of relevant articles under the Entrepreneur section. For starters, check out “Too Good To Be True?” by About.com contributor Scott Allen, which defines 6 criteria you should look for in an MLM. While there, peruse around for more valuable resources.
Most information you will find will heed the warnings of multi-level-marketing. A few to review are at Vandruff.com, and http://www.mlm-thetruth.com. And with good reason. There’s a standard pitch that seems to can prey on what everyone looks for in an opportunity – no selling, unlimited potential, free time to enjoy your new boat.
However, don’t think that all MLM opportunities are ones to stay away from. There have been many companies that implemented this structure and were very successful in doing so. Two examples are Avon and Mary Kay. The best test is to ask yourself if the product or service on its own appears to be valuable and profitable. In other words, do you feel confident in the business of selling the product or service alone without creating a network? If not, then you should dig deeper into its potential.
Other resources I recommend visiting are http://www.mlmwatch.org/ or http://www.mlm.com/.
As we’ve mentioned elsewhere, please understand that HomeBusinessBug.com will not limit a company’s ability to advertise based on negative feedback we have heard or come across. Reputable companies have had negative press, and even those that appear to have more negative press than usual may have just as many people that they are successful for. The internet makes additional research very accessible. Let HomeBusinessBug.com be just your first stop in gathering the information you need to owning your own business.
