You know all things considered I think the door to door salesman was more honest than the current breed of multi level marketers.

They looked people in the eye and needed to know everything about the product or products they were selling, non of this drivel that people post all over the Internet, in social media forums and the like. telling untruths and exaggerating how easy it is to to make a living selling overpriced items to the gullible public

I have actually given up MLM because I cannot stand these lies, I have a conscience, I can't honestly sell an item if I do not think a person really needs it.

MLM has tainted the online industry and even broken up families, the only true winners are the manufacturers who no longer need to employ a knowledgeable sale force to earn them money.

One can dream about the time when MLM is banned, but that of course is not in the best interests of any government that would stand to lose a substantial amount in taxes. so it seems that MLM is here to stay

If you are not doing MLM what others ways are there of earning a living on line. Affiliate marketing springs to mind, once again you selling but you do not have to purchases stock or worry about delivery that is done by the company, best example is Amazon which pays out about 6% commission or specialist Commission Junction or Clickbank where commissions can be up to 50% or more. If you want to know more I have a free affiliate coursewhich is ideal for beginners or intermediate marketers.

A few people make a lot of money currency trading or taking stock options, the rewards can be great and so can the risks. I played the currency market myself for a year with a stake of $100 which I built up to a few thousand dollars, before loosing it all when I lost my Internet connection. It was fun whilst it lasted but would only do it again if I was using someone else's money.

Do you like writing is so you could become a ghost writer, writing quality articles for other people or if you have technical skills design and build websites and programs. There are also people who hire themselves out as mentors to help people improve their interment marketing skills. These types of activities are beyond the reach of most people just starting out.

Marketers often talk about finding your Niche market place and I think I have found mine. I have a limited partnership in a marketing resource which I can give away called MarketHive. MarketHive provides everyone with a suite of marketing tools, such as blogs, capture pages, auto-responders, videos, interest groups and forums, combined with a social/business network seamlessly connected to the main social networks. You would need to spend $000's to purchase this technology but I am giving it away for free.
