...generally, the only folks who make decent money in an MLM or network marketing scheme are those who get in on the ground floor, or very near the start. This particular company has been around for so many years that I'm doubtful there's much money to be made at this point (except for your distant upline) unless you are REALLY the salesman type.
If you want to act as a distributor without the pressure or need to convert others into distributors, as well, you could look into something like Vitamin Power (and others), which don't require all of that nonsense. You simply sign on to be a distributor then get the product at wholesale prices, which you in turn then sell to others at a markup. In fact, you don't even need to maintain an inventory, as they'll drop-ship for you. (Case in point, though I'm a distributor for them, I would get absolutely NOTHING for bringing you into the business, and I'm certainly not trying to do that here, as you can sign up with them, or a similar company, on your own.) In any case, I'd suggest avoiding multi-level marketing schemes altogether.

what model do you have?
ty for ur response!
Role model
I just found a copy of an assignment my daughter had to do for her health class. She had to right a letter to her role model. She wrote it to her Dad. She has always been a "Daddy's girl". I am just so proud of her for not picking some id!ot hollywood brat. She just turned 15 and I can see that she really has a good head on her shoulders. She even mentioned things about they way her dad treats his mother and what a good example he is showing her on how to treat parents and grandparent. He is out of town right now but I really hope she decides to share this with him. Just had to brag a little. 
Oh and the model is my niece....sm
But she is like my own. I have kept her a lot since she was 5 weeks old. Sis-in-law is single and when she would date I would keep her. The child's dad is a loser. He walked away when sis-in-law got pregnant and hasn't seen Addie since she was an infant and doesn't want to even though he lives a few miles away. So I say she is better off without him.
A role model on what planet.
That's ridiculous.
When interviewing the "man on the street," our local channels seem to go out of their way to find unusually unsophistocated and uneducated people to interview, preferably looking like they haven't bathed in a month or seen a dentist in a quarter of a century.
This site talks about that model.

It's the same business model as Amway
I've talked to Melaleuca people before. It's the exact same business model as Amway or any other home based business. Yes, you make some profit from selling the product itself, but your real profit is from signing other people up to do it. It's multi level marketing, which is absolutely legal..
If you're good at approaching people you don't know about buying something, then it might be good for you. Don't do into it thinking you'll sell to your friends and family and build a business from there. I've tried that with another product (one that my friends and family loved, so it wasn't like I had to work to convince them about the produt itself).
If you decide you want to do it, go for it. Be aggressive and treat it like you would any other business. You have to work it and it will take a while to be profitable. It won't happen over night.
If you decide you don't want to do it, be very, very, VERY clear to the guy. They are very persistent, borderline aggressive in trying to get you to do this. They do not hear the word no. It's not in their best interest to hear that word. Take note of his tactics and think about whether you could apply the same things to other people. If you can, go for it.
she wouldn't be a role model if more of you would explain

Garmin is a popular model, but DH chose
the Magellan Maestro 4000 GPS portable navigational system for features and price.
He got it on Bizrate through Beach Camera.

Well, I was not on a teen-role model, not in the public eye
no one was looking to me and I got myself into trouble and had more sense than to know I wanted to nor could I raise a child at my age(by the way, not 16, older). I assumed responsibility because I took care of things, did not regret then nor now and never have. She, from what I hear, did not tell her mother until well past the time she could have gotten an abortion, sounds like she wanted to be pregnant. I have absolutely no regrets about things I have done in the past.
1. SILs want you to divorce; don't; 2. Bad role model for your kids.
I would not let my kids go with them without me. I would not allow my husband to not stick up for me. I would not go near these people as much as possible. Live your life with your children. Not sure what to think about your man.

food network channel
I watch the Food channel and now they have a special: Giada in Paradise. Love love love Santorini (Greece) where this is filmed but I am so distracted by Giada's massive ginormous head and large numbers of teeth along with her phony inflection. It is driving me nuts! How mean am I?? She just irks me and it's ruining the show for me. 
Next Food Network Star sm
I am watching right now to see who the winner will be. They said this is the 3rd Next Food Network star. I know Guy won last year and does Guy's Big Bite and Diners, Drive ins, and Dives. Does anyone know who the first Food Network Star was? I don't even remember that competition. Thanks.
Watch the foot network. sm
 I started watching food net work a couple of years ago. It is amazing how much I have learned. Especially Emeril, R. Ray and Sandra Lee. Good luck, hope you and your family enjoy your new cooking skills.
Errr FOOD network.
Big difference between food and foot - MTing too long!
We are experiencing some Network Problems.
We are working on the issue and it will be fine soon.
Thanks,
MTStars Support Team.
have had all three, Dish Network superior
if you have an HDTV I would not recommend cable at all. It may not be true for all cable companies but Adelphia looked horrid on ours. Had Dish Network years ago and they were horrible in the customer service department...never again!!!
I have Dish Network and I saw it just fine.
Even recorded it. Too bad I don't know how to send it to you.
Tiramisu? Try Food Network for ideas, too. nm

her $$ wasn't big coming from food network
but she NEVER hit the BIG TIME until Oprah took her under her wing early last year.........and is why her talk show was put on the same channel as Oprah's show.
I really liked and preferred Rachael Ray when she was new, on food network, from upstate NY when it didn't all GO TO HER HEAD! Now, instead, I find her annoying and NEVER watch her anymore.
JMO.
I have had two network cards knocked out by lightening.

our favorites. We were crushed when they stopped showing Voom programing

My thing is Lifetime Movie Network movies...sm
I love most of the movies on this channel. I could sit and watch them all day.
WIRELESS NETWORK!!!- sounds like you are getting hacked (for lack of a better term)
You need to secure your network. Check outside your home at these times for a strange car. A neighbor with a teenage boy or girl using a wifi connection to access your network getting on a porn or gaming site that bills via a VOIP dial-up It can be done.
you want to make sure they cant access you need to secure your network with passwords and such and turn your router off at night when you go to bed no wireless = no connection.
Hope this helps feel free to email if you need some more info.
Food Network TV personality...host of Good Eats.
 Great show...he blends science with food. It's perfect for those of us with attention-span-holding issues!

Being much more careful not to waste food. No more fast food. Soda only if bought in a two-liter bottle, not singles or fountain. Most of my money waste was spent on food.
