                How to Point Out the Scams
- Research How Long the Company’s Been Around - Many legitimate
 MLM companies have been around for more than fifty years. If you’re
 the kind of person that wants to see their investment returned to them
 tenfold for the amount of work that you’ll be doing, then make sure to
 choose a company that has proven to help those it recruits for the long
 term. Surprisingly, it’s been proven that nearly 90% of any marketing
 company fails within the first 2 years of their start-up so make sure to
 stay away from relatively new companies. You don’t want to end up
 investing all of your time, energy and resources to something that may
 not be around the next month when you really need it.
- See If the Company Is Well-Capitalized - What does this exactly mean?

 money that is needed not only to pay you, but to help ensure that it can
 grow in the future. Is this the kind of company that has a solid
 foundation, has management that’s willing to help its recruits, and able
 to keep up with the changes in technology today? If so, then you’ve
 found a great company to begin a financial future with. If you’re unsure
 of where to find this information, simply contact the Better Business
 Bureau, or look online for latest reviews and complaints from real
 people.
- Look at the Products or Services That the Company Offers - The reason
 is simple: you want to make sure that the products are unique and are
 not something that you can easily find anywhere. If you can find
 products anywhere, you’ll have no such luck in selling to clients who
 could get it from somewhere else. You don’t want the competition, as
 you’ll never make a sale even if you worked yourself to death.
- Find Out If the Product or Service Is in Demand - The more of a
 demand it has, the easier it will be to sell to people. Take Mary-Kay for
 example. Women love their products, hence why Mary-Kay makes
 nearly a billion dollars a year. Go with a company that has a similar
 product that people will be lining up to your door to have.
- Is the Product or Service Just A Trend? – There’s no way that you can
 expect to earn residual income off of a product or service that’s just
