MLM Analyst

Why am I blogging about network marketing? Well, an interesting thing happened to me the other night – for about the hundredth time, actually.

After playing a soccer game I was sitting on the sidelines with my similarly out-of-shape, middle-aged teammates when one asked me what I did for a living. I described my company and services and he began bending the discussion toward network marketing. I didn’t really mind. I’m used to it.

I explained that I was pretty satisfied professionally and pretty familiar with most MLM products & companies. I didn’t shut him down. I love having these discussions. So I asked which one he was part of and he mentioned one of the larger ones.

No problem there. I know people that like their product and system. But he peaked my interest when he mentioned a sort of Inc 500 list for MLM downlines. And, of course, his company dominates the list – ergo, their business must be an astonishingly better opportunity than all others. It sounded a bit too convenient to me.

I’m familiar with how Inc Magazine builds their list. It requires very detailed & documented disclosure by it’s applicant companies. So I wondered how anyone could possibly create such a list based on the poorly-documented, highly-guarded, and overly-hyped numbers of big MLM distributors.

I guess I wondered enough that I’ve decided to dig into it a bit. So I finally launched the blog I’ve always wanted to write and here we are.

Stay tuned…
