I've done well. I disagree slightly that 'prelaunch' is the ideal time to join - so many companies fail in that first year from lack of capital and growth. But I knew the Master Distributor, did my research, and was comfortable (and I wasn't doing any other company at the time!)
I love the Health, Nutrition and Weight Loss industries, because it's easy to SHARE the product with people. The market exists (only about 66% of us!) and if it works for them great, I show them how to order from a website. If not, appreciate them trying it and wish them luck.
There are tons of 'products' sold through MLM, but IMHO you absolutely need something that's easy to explain, easy to share, with no direct competition in the market.
Oh, you'd argue, there are hundreds of competitors? yes, I would agree. The shelves are filled with tons of products that don't work, are full of harsh chemicals, or make you jittery!
It all comes back to the individual and letting them try it!
Yes, ViSi has a binary structure. One of the absolute best things about it is there is no 'flushing' of the volume.
To keep it simple, you are paid on matching volume in both legs. If you have $10,000 in one leg and $5000 in the other, you're paid on the $5000 volume. In some other companies the remaining $5000 "goes away" and you lose it, leading to a constant struggle and stress to Balance your legs!
ViSi rolls the volume over so you never lose it!
How have I fared?
Pretty darn well.
I just quit my job and this past Monday was my first day working from home. I'm an honest person, so ViSi is the largest portion of my income, but only one of several streams. However, I felt I'd "topped out" in my efforts working a couple of hours at night, and am working it full-time now.
