I've heard and said the whole "Everything is a pyramid, you work in a pyramid." The "work smart, not hard" saying.... blah blah blah.
The difference is that in one place, you are guaranteed a paycheck, but you have a ceiling, or the other, where you aren't guaranteed any money, but you can make a lot. I worked for 4 months and made $120. And spent countless amounts of money. Which brings me to my next point. You cannot expect make any sort of profit in any kind of flooded market. They say you are well known when 1 in 6 people know of your company. You honestly need to be in at the beginning to make any money. So 1 in 20 people know of it, and I'm sorry, but in Southern California, a lot more than 1 in 20 people know about ACN. Same goes for 2by2, and same goes for a lot of other companies. And I doubt that it is much different for any other territories.
When I was doign it, it was 2by2 vs ACN, and I competed for new reps with existing ACN reps. If that happens, one of the two companies is too big for their rookie reps to make any money. In this case, both companies were too big.
Try getting into Amway right now, you have pretty much no chance of becoming filthy rich. However, had you been in at the beginning AND assuming you worked hard, you would probably be a millionaire.
There is a reason why all pyramids inherently fail. And network marketing is not the same as multi level marketing, so companies like AOL who started out network marketing cannot be compared to an multi level marketing company (Such as 2by2).
What I'm trying to say is that MLM has definite potential, but you need to be in early, and you have to be good at marketing, plus you need to be extremely motivated, and not listen to other people. But, if you fit that criteria, you will probably make money no matter what you do, you don't have to do something that could be construed as illegal depending on who you talk to.
