How can you have a downline that is content just selling. Then they will not get very far - and that will be against the basic principles of MLM. I find that most MLM's are saturated now - require too much effort for too little money.

I have learned through my experiences in MLM. It is very shameful to say but I have been a member of two MLM companies I got none of my investments in both of them. Too bad. I didn't know I already belong to the downlines.
