It would appear that there are many unhappy ex-distributors of this established MLM company's products, and there are a lot of them online in blogs and forums bemoaning the fact that their home business did not make money with the company. Possibly if they had joined this long established MLM business 30 years ago, they would be singing a different song, as today 85% of this company's $3.5 billion dollar annual earnings is shared between their top earners, and those top earners were probably wise enough to jump into this opportunity a long time ago.
The vast percentage of their distributors are doing very nicely thank you. They are reaping the rewards, while it would seem that any new recruit into the business has a considerable, if not impossible, amount of work to do to earn any substantial amounts of money. Nevertheless, that can be true with any network marketing business, unless you roll your dice right and get in on a solid new MLM company's pre-launch, or join up right at the beginning.
Signs on poles around towns and cities offer their Opportunities, and I often wonder if the company condones this tactic. The ads are up there with Yard Sale signs and lost dog posters - not very impressive or enticing, despite saying you can make $5500 full time. Sure, perhaps your home business could achieve that amount, but you would have to be an exceptional salesperson and prepare to wait for a few years to build a solid downline.
Looking at the figures, it appears that many people do make money with this company; the other 15% of their multi-billion dollar earnings goes to a network of two million distributors across 70 countries worldwide. You do the math - it averages out to a whole lot of nothing if you take your time, gas and everything else into consideration. The people shouting Herbalife scam were at some time part of that 15% no doubt.
Something that new distributors are told is that they "don't even have to know how to sell". Sorry, that just isn't true. The whole premise of a home business involved with network marketing is that you are looking to make commissions from sales, and that involved selling. If you have no idea how to sell, sorry, you will be fighting an uphill battle.
However, they should not be passed up as a network marketing opportunity - it may be the perfect home business for you. They have many of the qualities that make a solid MLM company - longevity, good management and an evergreen range of products.
The company's products range from weight management, energy and fitness products to personal care, which are rather expensive compared to other similar products anyone can buy at the pharmacy or supermarket. That fact alone doesn't make it easy for a new distributor to convince new customers to buy, especially in this lousy economy.
As a home business/distributor you would be entering a saturated market even if you can sell their products to your friends and family. Recruiting and retaining a successful downline will be a long battle, so it's probably best to look elsewhere for your home business network marketing opportunity.
