"You have to buy a membership so you're in the red" No. They literally don't. karlpilkington4 posted... And the majority of MLM companies give you a special link to send your customers when they buy online. You don't need to buy the product to sell it. That's blatantly false as a MLM standard. Okay but that's not what vector marketing does. They make you buy both the product and these imaginary pep talks. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ... Copied to Clipboard!

lydiaquayle posted...karlpilkington4 posted...It's a commission based job. I mean, that's literally how a commission-based salary works. You work directly for a company, you sell a product or service that the company has already fronted. Depending on your state, you will still be entitled to some wage regardless if you sell or not, though obviously if you're not doing a good job the company has the right to let you go. And you're not required to pay the company money first to get the job. --- FFXIV: Herzog Erislieb (Cactaur) | RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div ... Copied to Clipboard!

The TRUTH: Vector Marketing is not a multi-level marketing company. Vector Marketing is a single-level, direct-to-consumer marketing company and is recognized as an official member of the Direct Selling Association. In a multi-level marketing company, sales representatives make their money by recruiting additional sales representatives.

You can make money in MLM. It's not a scam. With an insane amount of luck and time invested. And to crack the barrier as a top level earner you need to be an early adopter. I see people saying they make 800 a month and that its great money. Sure, it's nice pocket change if you use it as a secondary income and post a few things every day on social media. But making it a full time job? You better be lucky and know a lot of idiots. Edit: cutco knives are the BEST knives you can get. Absolutely professional grade, sharp as absolute balls and FREE lifetime warranty with no gimmicks. I highly recommend if you cook daily and enjoy it. Even with the high price tag. --- https://imgur.com/Rqk1DYV - Super Bowl XXI/XXV/XLII/XLVI Champions - NY Giants Eli Manning SB tracker: 2/2 Superbowls 2/2 SBMVP's ... Copied to Clipboard!

I remember i was looking for a job back in my college days about a decade ago. My friend had a "health job interview" for me and i went. I didnt know what was MLM at the time but the beginning part of the meeting had them showing nice cars and big mansions and that we can achieve these goals if we worked hard for it. Then came the time to sign up ajd buy their Usana startup kits. I felt loke i was bring forced to buy it but luckily i didnt have a bank account at the time. I wonder how they're doing now.

So, it's not a MLM because there's not a downline aka no multilevel, but its still a MLM because some dude says so? 1 - You posted a source saying "they don't call themselves an MLM", yet that article itself calls it an MLM constantly. Why would you post an article that you didn't even read yourself?
