Myths of "work from home" as independent distributor and earn $5000 a month? A story of Herbalife company. It is not matrix, but the failure of the system looks similar to the matrix, e.g. over aturated market, over-competition among independent distributors. Don't make me wrong, Hebalife is still making money, it is the indepnedent distributors who are stucked in the system.

It is fun to read, here is the link.

After reading the story, you will probably understand why everyone should get out of matrix business ASAP. For those who do not have time to read, below is a concluding quote from the author.

I believe that the spread of 4 facts will stop Herbalife from continuing to mislead people:

At least 95% of anything that says "work from home" is promoting the Herbalife business.

It costs a minimum of $230 to become an independent herbalife distributor in the US.

The market value of their products hovers around 50% of the advertised retail price.

Becoming even slightly successful means spending money on advertising & ignoring social norms or the law.

I'm not trying to hurt anyone. I just want to stop these signs. Maybe I can save some otherwise honest people $230 at the same time.
I'd appreciate your help in getting word out.

The biggest hurdle to the success of any networking business is finding, recruiting and retaining members who in turn will be able to duplicate the process. Unfortunately it is also the most important aspect of MLM schemes. So don't be taken in by emails saying you don't need to recruit anyone or 'friendly' people saying that they'll help you find others. From personal experience, the cost of maintaining web sites, purchasing products and leads is very exhorbitant and anyone contemplating getting into network marketing should be extremely cautious as there is little hope of recovering these expenses once you pay for them.

The networking markets these currently are saturated with nutritional and home care products and although they may be of high quality, most people just don't have the money or the time to invest for these reasons unless they are gullible enough lto give their money away (like I was!).

Remember that if something is too good to be true it usually is!!!
