UPDATE: Posted 11th May 2020.
After careful consideration, the MLM Forum has been closed for further posts. The main contributing factors in the decision are:
1. The social media environment has changed massively since the forum was first put up in 2006.
2. There have been very few posts in the past two years that actually meet the basic requirements identified to fulfil the purpose of having the MLM forum in place in the first place.
3. Virtually every scheme analysed of late did not meet the requirements of a legitimate MLM scheme.
Accordingly it seems the time and need for this forum area has been and gone.
END-UPDATE.

The purpose of this MLM forum is to collect, discuss and make available information about multi-level marketing businesses available in South Africa.
When it comes to specific opportunities, the goal is to ensure people can make an informed decision about whether they might be interested in the opportunity or not. A blank statement that you can make lots of money without information on how you are going to make that money is not enough. The lack of full disclosure up front is one of the big factors that has harmed the reputation of the MLM model in the eyes of many.
To ensure that this forum remains a useful resource rather than an advertising board, when introducing an opportunity please ensure the following:
You need to mention the MLM company name.
It really helps if you mention the company name in the title of the thread. This makes finding relevant information much easier.
You need to mention the product.
For the opportunity to comply with legislative requirements, there needs to be a product that is purchased. What is it? What are its features? What are its benefits? How competitive is it compared to similar products available?
You need to describe the reward structure.
There are many different reward structures that fall within the MLM industry model. What is yours?
You need to answer questions.
Be attentive to queries about the opportunity you have introduced. An easy way to do this is to subscribe to your thread using the Thread Tools. Please answer queries in the thread, not by PM, so that the answers are available for everyone's benefit.
If you can't be honest and upfront about your opportunity, we really don't want to hear about it here. You may include affiliate links provided you ensure the above requirements are met. Failure to do so may result in your affiliate links being removed or your posts not being displayed.
