Why Network Marketing Or MLM is Not Illegal
So….you’re curious about network marketing or mlm. Maybe you even want to get involved in something, but you’re worried that someone just wants to scam you.

Network marketing or mlm in itself is NOT A SCAM. Why? Because it’s LEGAL!! Feel free to visit the FTC website. There is plenty of good information there to help you realize what is and isn’t legal.
