Hi folks, hope all are well.

I am starting out on a new venture which is an e-commerce business.

I had intended to turn it into an MLM business at some point or at the very least have an affiliate programme running with it.
After reading threads here and here I am genuinely interested in your thoughts about MLM more from a founder / owner perspective.

There's so much negativity about them, I personally have always disliked them because of the way they operate, soo much focus on recruiting people, lies about earning potential, poor training...

But what if I can do it differently? Better training. More about the product and less focus on recruiting people, actually helping people to earn money. win/win.

There's been times in my life where I've been desperately searching for ways to make money, in particular on maternity leave and not wanting to go back to paid employment. I know that there are women out there right now feeling the same and perhaps I can help them at the same time as growing my business.

Can an MLM structured business be profitably successful IF managed in the right way?

Appreciate your thoughts.
