I have had involvement with
http://www.excel.com/ which has grossed over $1bil with 9.25% of that revenue being paid to re-sellers. RIMM is a noteable excell partner.
The industry as a whole has reached reached $85.04 Billion/yr worldwide.
There are over 47.3 Million ACTIVE sales people involved in MLM.
MLM is not based on a don lupre commercial. As in any industry there are predatory businesses and ones that conduct themselves based on a code of ethics.
Was only trying to point out that making a blanket statement that all mlm's are rip-offs is proveably false.
