The Pros and Cons of Network Marketing Is network marketing all it's cracked up to be?

Q: What do you think of network marketing, especially over the Internet?

A: Network marketing, also known as multilevel marketing, or MLM, appeals to people for the following reasons:

1. Most people find the business opportunity an alluring way to make ends meet, particularly when earnings are cut back, they lose a job or they're trying to launch a new business.
2. Some people are so turned on by a product (like one that enabled them to lose weight or restore their health) that they want to share it with others.
3. Some people imagine MLM as a quick and low-cost way to get rich.
