Multi-Level Marketing

Are you a fool? Abysmally stupid? Increadably gullible? Or maybe filled with unbridled greed? Then Multi-Level Marketing is for you! Amway, Juice Plus+, Shackley, Mary Kay, Avon, and a hundred other scams use Multi-Level Marketing to sell their worthless products. Here's how you can go about it:

Create a product that is very cheep to manufacture. The product itself can be pure, worthless garbage. Powdered apple or carrot will work.
Publish astounding claims about the product's abilities. Go ahead and lie, as long as you preface each false claim with qualifying phrases such as "maybe," "it has been reported," "in my opinion," "customers claim," "appears to be," and the like. Do not make actual claims that can be shown to be false: make claims that imply astounding results, but do not state the results as factual. This gives you an out for criminal "false advertising." After all, it is not your victim's fault for misunderstanding, right? You bet!
Inflate the price of your product vastly beyond what it costs you to manufacture. If a bottle of sugar pills costs you twenty-five cents to make, sell it for fifteen dollars.
Sell commissions, not your product! That is the key to Multi-Level Marketing. Offer your victims a commission (percentage) for every unit they sell.
Have the commissioned sellers sell commissions, and give them a cut (percentage) of every unit their victims sell.

As you can obviously see, the folks at the top of the pyramid can make a massive amount of money, while those at the bottom make peanuts. It is not the product that is being sold: it is the commissions--- that is where all the money comes from. The product does not matter: you could even sell air.

What makes Multi-Level Marketing work is greed. You must tell your victims that if they become sellers, their commissions will accumulate vast sums, because every person THEY get to become sellers of your product, pass on a percentage of the cut.

To put it another way, suppose you are person "A" and that you started the Multi-Level Marketing scam. You sell the product to five people. One of those five, person "B," wants to become a commissioned seller, and receives five per cent of the price for every unit he or she sells. Person "B" sells the product to five other people, one of whom, person "C," wants to become a commissioned seller and get her five per cent. This means that person "C" buys the product from person "B" who buys it from you, person "A". Person "B" therefore gets a cut from not only units he or she sells, but a cut from every unit person "C" sells! If person "C" gets two or three people to sell, and those two or three find others to sell, persons "B" and "C" receive a very large percent, while "A" (that's you) get the bulk.

Multi-Level Market scams generally have extremely elaborate marketing materials, such as professionally directed and produced audio-video tapes to show potential commissioned sellers, conventions with "guest speakers" who offer testimonials about how much they have made on the scam and how wonderful the product is, and awards and prized for the commissioned seller with the most sales.

Here is a sample of what your scam, selling WogaWoga, should look like:

AMAZING DISCOVERY! The importance of fruits and vegetables!
Good nutrition is important to good health, and eating plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables every day is critical to good nutrition. Researchers continue to find elements in fruits and vegetables that seem to strengthen our immune systems, impede the development of disease, and contribute to good health in many other ways.
Want to strengthen your immune system, impede the development of disease, and enhance your health? Recently discovered elements in fruits and vegetables appear to have this effect.
Unfortunately, most people don't eat nearly enough fruits and vegetables, especially not every day. Those we do eat tend to be overprocessed, overcooked, or too far removed from the field, and thus lack much of the nutrition provided by fresh, raw fruits and vegetables.
WogaWoga is the next best thing to eating fresh, raw fruits and vegetables!
New studies published in American Medical Quackeries document how WogaWoga users have increased levels of plasma antioxidants, plasma alpha tocopherol (Vitamin E), and plasam beta carotene!
It's even good for your pets!

Notice above that no actual claims have been made: though it leaves the reader to imply that WogaWoga boosts ones' immune system and "enhances health," it never actually makes that claim! Increasing antioxidants, Vitamin E, and beta carotene can be achived by eating stuff other than WogaWoga, but hey, you won't mention that! Oh, and by the way, a great many Multi-Levil Marketing scams create their own magazines in which they publish their "research," and then fail to tell their readers that fact. Sheeky, eh?

Be damn sure to offer testimonials. Use lots of exclamation marks! It impresses the gullible.

I was always sick. And my dog always had the flu. I was always out of work because I was too sick to get out of bed. But then I tried WogaWoga, and boy, did my life turn around! I'm no longer sick, nor does my dog have the flu! And it costs so little! I'm so happy! Now I take WogaWoga twice a day, to prevent getting sick ever again!!!

Also be damn sure to include testimonials from "doctors."

"I gave twenty terminal cancer patients WogaWoga twice a day for one year, and one of them lived!" -- Dr Ray McGundson, Ph.D.
