As more people find this forum we're going to be subjected to more offers of "opportunities," situations that promise a chance to make money, but aren't jobs. Some of these will be multi-level marketing or MLM. While there are legitimate companies that offer this structure--think Mary Kay or Tupperware--they're the exception more than the rule. Before you decide to invest time and money in a business opportunity that might be MLM, please take the time to educate yourself, about MLM and about the company you're considering. Here are some resources to get you started:
