Hello Aluxers! Did this video make a difference in your mindset? Do you understand what you have to do now?

[alux]

Isn't it funny how people don't like it when you go against the things that they consider "truth"?

[TheAMW]

Network marketing is the absolute greatest business model. The only people who say this are those who are ignorant. How can a company like Amway who owns the Orlando Magic are ‘pyramid scheme’. Just bc people don’t want to work and can’t get what they want doesn’t mean something is wrong w the company. This video is opinion but not based on fact

[adamprokopiak]

I am a huge Aluxer fan and have been flowing this channel since it started. They usually educate themselves before posting a video. I was shocked that this was mostly opinionated. There was a huge focus on Ponzi schemes but very little focus on the actual MLM structure. Each industry has legal and illegal characterics. I hope the next video on this topic touches more on the legitimate MLM industry.

Guys read "The business school" and "the business of 21st century" by Robert T Kiyosaki. You'll know the importance of Network marketing

[daryl.togonon]

People need to do their research properly and understand that network marketing and pyramid schemes are NOT the same thing. Every business/organization in the world recruits people to grow. And just because you have to pay money to start a business, that doesn’t make it a scam. Every franchise and business needs capital to get going. Pyramid schemes get shut down because they’re illegal. The best NWM companies are still around because they’ve been adding value to the marketplace for decades through products, services, and opportunities.

Avon was one of my first jobs. I learned so much it was a great experience I loved it. No idea why people hate on mlms

[nadjadavidson]

I started in network marketing in July 2019. I avoided the industry like a plague for 25 yrs. I am an entrepreneur with 30 years experience and had the strong desire to help others become financially free like us (which we did without nwm and big investments). I am really happy I gave this industry a chance. I overtook my sponsor (which shows that it’s not true that newbies don’t stand a chance) and built a decent sized team that pays me a full-time salary. Not millions. A regular salary. A large number of my partners earn really good money, and several have reached the car bonus level. Partners so NOT get paid when signing up a new partner. Please stop spreading this untruth. There are two ways to earn money: commission on the sale of products and a commission on your partner’s product sales. Your partner does nothing? Guess what? You earn nothing! Is that commission coming out of their pocket? No! The company has two accounts. If your volume is 500 pts and that equates to $20 commission, then the same applies to your downline and your upline equally. Your downline doesn’t get $20 minus a commission to their sponsor. That’s just utter nonsense.

The education I received from mlm is priceless. It's something I can use in every area in my life. I enjoyed the positive and uplifting environment.

[aileengraceandren]

Never in my life in college that they taught me how to generate wealth and to grow wealth, only in MLM. What i have learned with my involvement in MLM is priceless and i will be forever thankful for those knowledge...

[stoicg]

To be honest
I thought Alux would be better job explaining the misconceptions of network marketing.. I am in Amway currently and it’s true what Alux says, only to be honest I haven’t done any work for being lazy and yes I am spending my money.. but the value the business offer actually can improve your life. Their model is you get royalties for buying your own product and teach others the same. Simple and basic. Only the team I work with, we are careful with who we take in our team... because some people are not interested or willing to improve someone’s life and educate them how the world works.

[cguipace]

With due respect to the incredible value that you bring to lives, including mine, through your videos, I humbly think that you are on the side for this one.

I know you make a lot of research before you issue a video on a topic.
For a Ponzi scheme there is no products or services. Literally the money of the new comers serves to pay the previous ones and so on.

MLM on the other hand has a real product or service that people can use and get value out of it, real identifiable offices with real people in the company. People pay for the products and services, no matter if they are in as IBO or as customer.

You seem to touch base on it at the end. MLM is all about commission paid on volume sold, What ever the way, how many layers, what are the rates, etc.

Commission on your own sales is like employee. You get to business owner by your leadership work in mentoring other people to grow their own business.

Ponzi scheme is illegal. MLM is not Ponzi if the conditions are met.

Please Don’t get me wrong!
I’m not MLM guru yet and I highly respect alux.com
Peace

I was actually able to quit my corporate job because my commission with my "MLM" was higher...its been residual every month = time freedom. Plus best products ever, awesome community of people I met that are like minded with non toxic living. For me, it is a HUGE blessing!

When you get approached by a stranger at the grocery store with an empty cart and you know they've already pissed off their family and friends and are now annoying strangers

[zachkessler]

Alux kinda messed up with their definition of MLM. The whole reason MLM exist is because someone saw a need to spend advertising via word of mouth vs through commercials and other media. Word of mouth is the most effective way to advertise. It’s a proven fact. Essentially what’s happening is your being paid to refer people’s spending from one company to another via interpersonal communication. Your essentially a marketing company of your own. Your building your brand by showing others then can have success. I’d now I’ve been around the environment and have learned a lot of success principles. Frankly, I don’t expect Alux to understand because they see a small picture of the large overview.

[wendygaspar]

I worked at a place for three years and in that time my practice manager repeatedly, over that time, wanted me to get on board. I was even pushed into attending an introduction night where she tried to sell the scheme, bullshit products, to a handful of us. I resisted. My instinct, my bank account and total dislike of her helped me to put her off. So many liars and manipulators out there.

[Thedeepanshu]

Ok tell me something... If i want to buy coffee... And I am purchasing it from a grocery store then its OK and if I buy from the network marketing company then it's a scheme when I'm getting same or better thing In return and I'm getting paid to tell the others about it... Then it's illegal... Wow... What a great thought you guys have...
And when I'm buying the products from the mall or grocery store and I liked something and I recommend it to someone... That becomes illegal too?

Not everything said in beautiful voice and presentable way is True... Use your judgement

[HighTicketFreedom]

I’ve been following this channel for about a year now and really appreciate the amount of work that your team puts into these videos!

However, to say that all of these “pyramids” are “illegal” is just not true at all.

To me it sounds like you just watched one or 2 videos from Ethan V and went from there without doing anymore research.

Let me ask you this, if network marketing (or mlm) is completely illegal, then why do so many big names like Robert Kiyosaki & Donald Trump support the business model?

The other thing I don’t get is when others say that most don’t make any money in these things.

Do you think that’s because of the actual business model or the amount of effort one puts into it?

Because at the end of the day, most people who start any type of business regardless of the business model don’t make money or very little.

Don’t get me wrong though, there are ones out there that are illegal where the focus is all just on the money.

But if there is an actual product involved (or multiple products) of value, and you have the option of using the product as well as sharing it with others, then what’s wrong with that? 🤷🏻‍♂️

But like I said, I appreciate this channel and the amount of effort that goes into these videos and I’m not gonna be one of these people that unsub because you have a difference of opinion.

That I don’t agree with

[dahlmer]

HOLY CRAP! There is a lot to unpack here! I can hardly wait for the 30 min video. Let's just say I was involved in Amway in the WorldWide Dream Builders Organization our Diamond was Greg and Lori Duncan. I'll give you more details later.

[yashKirlaya]

I was a religious follower of your channel ' ALUX ' until I found out this video. Network marketing is good and people are changing their lifestyles because of this industry. Don't spread hate please. Yes, I agree there are few ponzi schemes but not all. If u see many real time entreprenuers promote network marketing.
