I’m actually excited about these changes because it means that most of the enticements used by the network marketing industry like endorsements by heavy hitters or celebrities, will require full disclosure. Are they paying Ms. X to say what she is saying about their health product? Are the results of Mr. X Heavy typical? If not, what is the combined average of all reps, so Mr. Normal can know what he’s getting into, please?

Whenever I write about this, I like to include a definition of and some synonyms for, the word average, since this is about what you can expect when you get involved with MLM:

Definition of Average: normal, typical
Synonyms:
boilerplate, common, commonplace, customary, dime a dozen, everyday, fair, fair to middling, familiar, garden*, garden-variety, general, humdrum*, intermediate, mainstream, mediocre, medium, middle of the road, middling, moderate, nowhere, ordinary, passable, plastic, regular, run of the mill, so-so, standard, tolerable, undistinguished, unexceptional, usual

Hmmm….

What about cash gifting? Right here (link soon). No claims, no problems.
