Steve, I understand what you are saying, and I am not trying to insult anyone... but I just wanted to clear that myself because I hear so much people crying about network marketing, I make decent money with network marketing? Enough that I never have to work again... Why? I work Smarter, not harder... There is time involved in building a network marketing business but you don't have to work hard you have to work smart, the same way someone trains hard to become a doctor, you have to train hard in network marketing... It's gotten a bad name over the years and you are right steve, there are companies that will scam you, but less likely.. Like you said you have to do your homework before you join any company... You can't join a network marketing program then expect to use a free traffic exchange to build your business, unless you are the top recruiter...
