Is multi level marketing a good thing for our society?

No I believe not! If you are talking about Pyramidal schemes like Amway or Quixtar, then unless you are among the top people, you really dont make anything and waste time in Walmarts and Targets trying to get a scapegoat into your trap. Marketing is about understanding the customer and working with them directly rather than pyramidally. I see no good come out of MLM schemes.

Wait... "the Net and Network Marketing"?? Catch-22?? \n\nThose two should go together, hand-in-glove. And yet, Network Marketers have struggled to realize the near-infinite networking, lead-generating potential of the Web.\n\nHow can that be? \n\nNetwork Marketing (sometimes called "Multi-Level Marketing" or "MLM" or “Two Level Affiliate”) is all about... \n\n* recruiting/lead generation/relationship-building \n* sales conversion \n* ongoing consumption \n* replicating yourself through downline motivation and training. \n\nHow in the world could the Internet not be the best thing since sliced bread for Network Marketers? Because it's being done, all wrong, by all the wrong people. \n\nThere's no need to push (i.e., chase cold calls/prospects) when you can motivate potential customers and business-builders to pull (i.e., they want to call you to learn more).\n\nHere's how to Put The Net Back Into NETwork Marketing  http://www.mlm.wotsnext.com \n\nOr check out their new video tour http://www.sbivideo.wotsnext.com

Marketing is what is done to make the public aware of a product/service/company.  This can include many things, advertising, public relations, person to person communications and more.  It's important because without marketing your product won't be known to the public.

I would say yes. The problem would be that "truly good and decent" people can be defined in more than one way. They would need laws demonstrating they respect eachother's varying choices, even if those choices all seem inherently good to each individual member.\n\nAn example would be in cooperative relationships and commerce. Likely these people would cooperate and would need laws or agreements to do so. \n\nOne person may believe their society will be communistic and perhaps act in a manner to fulfill this with truly good intentions, and violate another's capitalistic ideas.\nThey will need agreements on property and privacy as there can be varying approaches that are inherently good, yet conflicting.\n\nI think inherently good people could easily construct the laws needed and they would not have to include such petty laws as we have in societies filled with injustice, inequity and even evil.\n\nGreat question.

We live in a world where marketing has taken a standard of living from one essense to another.  People believe more is better and that they have to have everything, often the things that make life more entertaining or bring a higher status with them in the eyes of society.  \n\nIt's sad because when you realize what the true necessities in your life are you see that the luxuries are just cosmetic lifts...the necessities are those that give you life not take life from you.

first of all u must look at the product it self if it suitable for the market and the socity if yes i think u should concentrate at the benifets of the product by askin how we were living without that product . and there is many things that nust be done like promotional campigns advertising .the answer can be better if u told us what is the kind of the product.

"Yes."\n\nMore seriously, people have all kinds of innate needs. Some are going to be stronger than others (refer to Maslow's hierarchy of needs), and others are just wants. \n\nWhen a business spends on marketing, they're generally doing it to boost the top line (revenues). \n\nCreating "need" where none exists, or where desire is light, is an expensive proposition. So, yes, marketing does it... but it's not a main thing that marketing does. The ROI is much higher in shifting preferences  (buy Pepsi instead of Coke, or Progresso instead of Campbells) rather than creating needs.\n\nGood luck,\nRex

The way our system generally works is that you become wealthy by figuring out how to add the most value to society.  Think of Bill Gates.  Many people despise the monopolistic nature of Microsoft, however, if you were around before Excel, Word, Explorer and Windows you would understand how much easier those products have made the lives of people around the world.  He earned his wealth and deserves every penny of it.  Now his business is under attack, though, by the likes of Google.  They are innovating and finding new ways to make our lives better and in turn they have already become very wealthy.\n\nBut, that's the lynchpin of our system.  It generally aligns the interests of individuals with the greater good.  In other words, if I want to become rich, I have to do something that is valued highly in society which means it benefits more than just myself.  \n\nIs it true in every case?  No.  Some people inherit their wealth and some people obtain their wealth through unethical means.  However, all in all, this system as produced the most advanced and wealthiest societies ever.  \n\nOur poor generally enjoy the conveniences of indoor plumbing, AC, refrigeration, television entertainment, microwave ovens, cellular phones etc.  While some of the rich certainly live their lives to disgusting excess (even the ones that preach that we need to take care of the poor), net-net we all benefit by having this system that generally aligns the interests of the individual with the whole.

Yes. It's a earn as your grow biz.\nIt's also about leadership and how well you carry yourself in public to face the customer.\n\nHere is a great book to refer:\nYour First Year in Network Marketing: Overcome Your Fears, Experience Success, and Achieve Your Dreams!(ISBN: 0761512195 )

Yes it does, just look around.  Society expects certain actions and attitudes from all of us.  Our society demands certain behavor in all of us.  The price of not conforming to some of these expectations is just too high for most folks.

The name alone tells me that it is probably another BS multilevel marketing scheme, designed to make money by selling books, memberships, training, etc. to people like you.\n\nAnyone who claims to have a "proven system" for generating wealth is usually full of s**t.

The world is a global market.  So when marketing you can no longer think of only one area or group, you must create a worldwide appeal that does not offend or exclude.  So many people think only of the US market, but looking to the future one must understand the opening up of the Asian communities.  China with it's large population and it's opening up of trade globally will be a strong force to reckon with.   If you think of the US and the baby boomers who will be retiring, many want simplicity, easy adaptable, and user friendly products.   Understanding cultures, differences and being  adaptable is what will work.   What makes anything successful is not only understanding the trends but being able to succeed above and beyond what the current trends set.  With marketing today trends change quickly, so one must have a good product that will not just be a flash, but has longevity, and staying power.

There are some benefits.  For example, if you work on an assembly line that makes cars, the marketing department of the car company influences the public to buy the product you produce.  This helps "move product" and pays your wages.  However, the over commercialization and corporate blight of all public spaces has no real advantage to society.
