After 6 months I will post here again and try tell you what I think. So far, the experience is rewarding. I just started last week so I hardly have anything to say about it. The heads up with the "pushing your family and friends away" is really appreciated. Maybe the key to not annoy people away, specially those who care for you is to know when to stop and that a "no" is a "no". I know to be a good sales person you need to "hard sell" you products but just like everything else, too much is also bad. ^^, Hello all,

And NEtwork Marketing teaches you not to do that. Even Brian Armstrong says it in his book. It's not just network marketing that's gonna piss people off, it's any business. And NEtwork marketing teaches you tahat. That's what sales is all about. And althoug most people never make a dime in Network marketing, they always learn how hard sales can be trhough it. And anotherthing. DOn't you think TV commercials and Spam and banners everywhere isn't annoying too from the big companies. That's what marketing is all about. The Point that everyone has to understand is that NEWtwork marketing is great network marketing teaches you not to care what the hell anyone thinks about you, and that's what it takes to become a good sales man.

There are some tools like http://www.adsblacklist.com/ to help you find ones to block but it doesn't seem to them all....thanks for the tip tho!

I found that a lot of them are scams but some of them are really legit, they're just not as good as they sound and they require a lot of looking into before joining anything. When doing any sort of network marketing, they suggest selling to family and friends first because it is easier to practice your pitch on people you are already comfortable with. I wouldn't suggest selling to these people but I do agree that people should be able to use their friends and family for practice (like we all did in college when practicing a speech). That doesn't mean pissing everyone off. I would suggest finding one or two friends and practicing your pitch until it is good enough to go out into the world. Tell your friend that you're not selling to them but you would appreciate if they listened to your pitch and gave you feedback. Now, the annoying part. it is incredibly annoying for people to stop you in the mall, the street, in an elevator and try and sell you on their business. But it is just as annoying as other outdated marketing tactics such as pop-up ads. The marketing world is learning to adjust and figure out how to get through to people without pissing them off too much. That is how affiliate marketing works. You have a blog and publicize a product that you love and people that respect your opinion listen to you. You win, the company wins and the person who buys the product through you hopefully wins too. The problem with network marketing is that it is too easy to get in and too many people who don't know what they are doing join, piss people off and give it a bad name. There is plenty of room for a smart businessman to get into network marketing, use creative sales tactics and make a living without pissing people off. The important thing is, they have to be creative and not use the old door-to-door approach that worked in the 50's. I agree that the best way to break free or become wealthy is to start your own business. Look at the people who started many of the network marketing companies, they're loaded.

I remember reading about it recently but I have never used the feature so I am not 100% about it.

I imagine if there ARE some honest MLM companies out there they'd quickly get lost in the sea of junk. It's hard to imagine why anyone who really wanted to do an honest business would use MLM, given the reputation it comes with, but I'm sure there are a few.
