I've been in network (multi-level) marketing for many years. I've been quite successful at it.
At first I worked hard and made about $100 a month, but it increased over time. Now I do very little and make about $1000 or more each month. It's all residual income. I need to order $100 a month to qualify for my commission check but I sell all that I order and use very little of the products myself. If I did more I could make a lot of money.
My company is not Melaleuca, but I know of them. It's a good company with good products.
As with all companies using this type of marketing, the prices are way up there, so I buy most of my nutritional supplements at Trader Joe's. But my company has a tea that keeps you regular, that I won't be without, and a toothpaste that is homeopathic in nature, and prevents gum disease. I sell tons of it to dental clinics all over the country. I don't go looking for anyone anymore. Everyone comes to me, via my website.
