Forever Living Products, an MLM or Network Marketing Company?

My close friend has taken up this MLM and wants me to help him to do the marketing as a distributor. I am dead against MLMs. The products are too costly for anyone, especially we Indians. He is upset when I told him his business model is no good for me. Please do tell me if foreverlivingproducts company is a pyramid MLM, is it really legal and straight to enter into it - your advice and suggestions please. Thanks. Ram

1. Forever Living is definately an MLM (they say so on their website), so they will have a "Pyramid" compensation structure. Is it an illegal Pyramid scheme...I don't know. I did some research, and they do not appear to be a member of the Direct Selling Association www.dsa.org that would offer some protection with the DSA Code of Ethics. The DSA has a consumer site that has some good information that is worth a read and will help you determine whether the company is legit or not www.directselling411.com
2. The more people your friend recruits, the more money he makes. That does not mean you will make money.
3. Yes Forever Living Products is an MLM. . I recommend you go and check out this FREE-ebook called 'The 7 Great Lies Of Network Marketing.' It is especially relavent to Forever Living Products http://www.mlm-myths.simplyseen.com
4. I had not heard of the company before you mentioned it. Apparently it has been around for 30 years. My recommendation to you would be to tell your friend that you'd love to help him out, but that you have neither the time, money or interest in selling products. Be sure to wish him the best of luck with his new endeavor. If you are truly his friend, you can have no animosity over him trying to better himself. On the other hand, if he is truly your friend he will accept the fact that you chose not to be involved.
