My wife actually made some decent side money selling Mary Kay, but I think that might be the exception when it comes to main stream acceptance. She also never tried to build a "team" or any shite like that, just sold it to relatives and friends who already used it anyway.

I don't think of Mary Kay as being a MLM, not like that other crap. I always thought it was more like selling Tupperware, shite housewives did to make a little extra dough. And I've seen enough pink Mary Kay Cadillacs in my life to know that some people are making bank selling the shite.

there are some MLM schemes that can work. the issue is the products

hell, real estate agencies like Keller Williams use a MLM structure, but houses have real value

Mary Kay sells products that are quality

the ones that are total shite are the ones offering completely shitty products. typically it's really poor quality (like Amyway) or bullshite "health" products (like Advocare, Limu, etc). these are doomed to fail b/c you can never actually sell the products and it implodes within itself.
