Do you think this will have an impact on the MLM industry?

Thanks Barbara.... the affiliate programs that I belong to pay me a certain amount when ever someone makes a purchase through my special link.... I have created websites around the products that I promote.....If I don't make any money I have no one to blame except myself.... and I am not responsible for anyone else making money or not. The harder I work the more money I make .. it is just that simple.
Affiliate Marketing to me is SOS... "Selling Other People's STUFF"

Affiliate Programs are like: 1st ones get most of the worms! I belong to a f.e.w. and do not get discouraged when I make no $$. I stick with my few honest & paying PTC programs... AND ...make more $$ with my handcrafted items. All in All, working with either one is actually a 'numbers game' ... some like it, many don't.

Agreed. Almost all MLM's are some form of a Ponzi scheme. And yet people are lured in by the promise of big and easy money. If it seems too good to be true........usually it isn't.

Affliate Marketing never going to die. Stay away from MLM programs.

You're very welcome Cindy!

Very important!............Thanks for your input Victoria.

Very interesting article..this is why researching companies and products are so important!

Your right Faii.... this just happens to be one of the biggest ones....It will be interesting to see what happens with this.....Just imagine if you had just signed up and paid for your Reps Package.... and then this happened.. YIKES!... One reason that I do affiliate marketing now days.....

Ponzi must be rolling in his grave. Unfortunately these pyramids pop up as fast or faster than they can be taken down. Both the FTC and the FBI have stopped many in the past but they are replaced immediately by other versions
