I've always wondered how it is that hundreds of thousands of otherwise sensible people come up with the idea that there's large amounts of money to be made selling everyday consumer products.

Actually, I'm lying.

There's no secret a great many of the recruiters behind a great many / most MLMs not so subtly reinforcing the idea that by choosing a product that "everyone uses every day" there are millions to be made.

Imagine opening up a shop which only sold a single item i.e. toilet rolls or one brand of vitamin or one kind of coffee.

How much or how many rolls of toilet paper or jars of coffee would you have to sell to make a living, much less a squillion bucks ??

Yet here we are talking about hundreds of thousands of MLM recruits who have been mislead into believing it's possible to base a business on moving a single product or a handful of products in sufficient quantities to not only live, but build up a lifetime of "residual income"
