That is an awesome post. I am so tired of hearing people wanting to make money without investing anything. There is no such thing as free. I think finding a legit company is everything. What gets me is that people even if the company is great and can speak with people who are successful they are still leary. My opportunity is risk free-everything comes with a 100% guarantee and the company is BBB registered(not an MLM, but similar in some aspects).
My suggestion is to look up the company with the BBB. Another thing if they have not been in business for over 7 years do lots of research before investing. Many companies go under, my mother in law is a distributor for a company that has been around for a long time (she has been doing the opportunity for over 11 years) and they just filed for bankruptcy. Very Scary.
Research is the key.
