A "pro" MLM arguement

There are the overly zealous arguers for MLM's (pro-MLM), and there are those overly zealous againts MLM's (anti-MLM).

One person who holds himself out as "pro" but not overly zealous is Len Clement. His site MarketWaveInc.com is interesting... but I find his explanation of his position even more so. Read his zealtots article here.

For anyone pro or con... I think it's important reading. If you're "pro", Len Clement states that he's been successful enough to "get out of the rat race" but that he's never once done many of the things most MLM distributors do... like "flash checks" or what got Amway/Quixar in trouble with the FTC many years ago by selling "training or tools for a profit". And you ought to take this to heart... and tone down those things that give the MLM industry a bad name... especially the ones that are illegal.

If you're "con" maybe you'll decide that it's not the industry... but rather the bad apples. If concentration of wealth at the top is a problem... would you rather have communism or socialism? Or would you rather try to figure out how to improve capitalism in our democratic nation? I hope the latter.

I've got E4l and YTB updates coming... sorry for the delay... in E4L.biz's case, no news isn't good news in my mind. In YTB's case... Len Clement has an update that I'll be reporting on shortly.
