Filed in archive MLM Reality Check on April 21, 2010

Is the business opportunity you're pursuing a legitimate MLM or multi-level marketing business or simply a pyramid scheme designed to enrich recruiters and drain your financial resources while filling your garage or spare room with worthless stuff?

We've blogged before about the very real dangers of network or direct marketing business opportunities that sell only a get rich quick message with no tangible or valuable product or service behind them.

But in this video, Jeffrey Babener tells a great story to illustrate the point and offers a long list of criteria you should use when evaluating any multi-level marketing business opportunity (including some really big brand names in the industry) to determine whether they are legitimate...or maybe even illegal?

Are you selling a legitimate product or just a rancid can of tuna fish? You'll understand when you watch Jeffrey's video.
