> Hi..I am in Melaleuca right now. Its an MLM company thats been around for 17 years. The products are natural (made from tea tree oil) and are good (I like them). The issue is whether you want to get involved with MLM (network marketing). I have been involved with 3 MLM opportunities and this is the only one I made any money from (but not much). Some people swear by MLM and I do know people personally who have done well at it but it is not a business for everyone. I have decided that I won't do it anymore (but will still use the products because I like them) because I want a business that I am the only one responsible for my success instead of relying on other people in your downline to work for you. MLM has a high drop-out rate because its not as easy as your sponsors will tell you it is...there's a lot of hype and you frankly need to be good at sales to do well (alot of phoning). Besides buying a certain amount of product per month (Melalueca was actually the best of the 3 businesses because the amount required wasn't much and it was easy to fill as it was stuff you use in your house anyway), you may also need to buy leads and cover the costs of phone bills etc which can add up. I know alot of people are anti-MLM here...and I'm not per se....because I know people who did very well at it...but it is not a model for everyone and you have to know deep down whether this is a model for you or not. There are a few that do very well...most people do not. I don't want to discourage you but you need to look into MLM as a concept before looking into this. If you like the businesses model than I can say the Melaleuca is a good solid company but you have to make an informed decision...Hope this helps
has anyone heard of this company Melaleuca all natural products?

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
