What It's About
Is muti-level marketing (MLM) a legit side hustle? #askingforafriend
Notes from Chris
Episode 1197
I’m so excited because I’m going to hear from some upset people with this question and answer. About once or twice a year I talk about this subject and the feedback I get is always so interesting. The subject is … multi-level marketing, also known as MLM or network marketing. (Also known as a pyramid scheme, but we’re getting ahead of things.) What’s funny is the ratio of emails I receive. But let’s not prejudge the question. A lot of people do wonder about this topic, so I’m grateful to today’s caller for bringing it up."I haven't landed on a side hustle idea yet and I'm wondering what you think about multi-level marketing. My cousin is really into MLM. He was over at our house recently and asked if he could tell us more about an exciting opportunity. I'm skeptical, but I don't want to miss out. What should I tell him? I already told him I listened to you. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
