MLM/Network Marketing? Does success come at the expense of others?

To be successful in the industry of MLM/Networking you have to accept the fact that the design of the marketing plan is set up to attract the naive. Right or wrong?
You are taught that less is more when spreading the word.
To build business, do you have to accept that many fail by design? (Many independent stats show 97% or higher)
Are the trainings set up to teach taking advantage of others?
For example, not giving full information and targeting peoples needs for extra income. Many times MLM/Network Marketing creates new buying habits for the hope or chance of financial freedom yet less then 3% ever experience profit from participation.

I am one of those who went from a tragic MLM experience to the next for several years now. I used to have a lot of faith in the system, and lots of motivation in the early 90′s. Back in Europe i went with Schwartz for a few months, and didn’t make anything, actually i ended up losing over a thousand the first month, between travelling costs, openings and meetings, with fees ranging between 50 and 200 US dollars. I think i still have some of those tapes and video cassettes. For a while i thought i was simply not cut out for the system. I tried Amway for a number of years, then Herbalife. I moved to Australia for a while and there i decided to try Network21, which had considerably lower start-up costs than in Europe.

After almost 10 years of pulling out and getting sucked back in, i finally resolved that you can slice and dice any mlm system as hard as you want, but still it will never give you the result you want OR the results advertised.

Sorry folks, but a decent day-job will beat any of these mlm schemes any day of the week.

    The only way to be successful at MLM is to have hundreds (if not thousands) of unsuccessful people below you.

    Note: The "Diamonds" with Amway/Quixtar figured this out years ago.

    Only the top few ever make any money with MLM, you have to bug, bug, bug people to buy into your business opportunity,

    It take a lot of work and coning people to buy something that is very over price and then you have to purchase over 100.00 per month to become a distributor and you are always trying to recruit other people because no ones stay with the business to long after they find out that the product does not sell it self as they said it would, most MLM are scams

    You certainly are on to something. The system that has been used to promote mlm was really a scam. Ann Sieg really exposed this and made a lot of "downline" people happy while a lot of "upline" and mlm companies angry.

    She has been teaching how to take advantage of what the "upline" has been doing to be successful and make money.
