MLM vs. Affiliate Marketing

In the following video, I go on an almost 15 minute rant against MLM (FHTM in particular).

These guys have the audacity to call their business model ‘relationship marketing’, when in fact what folks are doing is destroying relationships with their friends, family and neighbours while trying to recoup hefty investments in this so-called business opportunity.

For your $300 initial investment plus $70 every month thereafter, you get a cookie-cutter site that Google hates and will slap with a duplicate content penalty. Where’s the relationship in THAT?

In the video, I also show how MOST of the reps are making no money at all, based on FHTM’s own income disclosure statement.

The crux of the matter is that you don’t need to put out big bucks to start a business, especially online.

The model is called affiliate marketing, and for a tiny fraction of what you would invest in an MLM opportunity, you can have a real website and you don’t have to pay to promote REAL name brands.

‘Nuff said. Watch the video and let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. :-)
