Network Marketing - Who's in it?, discussion... pros and cons Options

[Jeunesse]

Just curious, what's your take on Network Marketing or Multi-level marketing or direct sales if you want to call it nicely?
I know Robert Kuyisake author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Donald Trump endorses network marketing but what's your opinion about it? Is it a good start for a part-time home business? What do you think are the pros and cons.

Rayme, the company im in makes most of its income from the product, by commisional volumes, and not by recruiting associates. If you decide to join the company, you have to purchase a starting pack which includes a certain quantity of the product and you can use that for sampling or selling it retail. That starting pack will give you commisional volume and everytime you purchase the product from the company or your downlines purchase the product, you earn commisional volumes. So you're not earning money by "recruiting" but by purchasing and having commisions.
No, I don't have to submit a list of people and my associates or downline don't have to do the same.
And hey, I'm currently earning extra $250 a month just by preferred customers who are people who don't want to be an associate but only wants to use my product(mostly baby boomers). My investment of US$800 came all back to me when I sold 90% of my starting pack.

Mercuryfree, yea ok, let's say RK is worth less without his book and seminars, who would you still listen for advices? People that made it or people that don't?
