Sorry, it took me 3/ 4 weeks late nights, Saturdays and sundays but now I have a solid recurring income. Refer a family member and friend works really well, and you need to try and concentrate your delivery root. There are tricks that you learn and they inform you about that makes it easier, but now that I am over 200, I know how to do the same again and again. It pays my mortgage now.

The club promotes an excellent work life balance. The company promotes books such as " The Four Hour Work Week", by Timothy Ferris.
A great extract that came to mind when reading your comment gb12345
It reads:
"It doesn't matter how many people don't get it. What matters is how many people do. If you have a strong INFORMED opinion, don't keep it to yourself. Try to help people and make the world a better place. If you strive to do anything remotely interesting, just expect a small percentage of the population to always find a way to take it personally.
There are no statues erected to critics"

Critics and doers. That's what this is. Night night.

I do have a strong informed opinion of MLM schemes and I definitely won't be keeping it to myself. That opinion is that the promoted incomes are not achievable by the vast majority or people who sign up - which is borne out by fact (figures produced by other MLMs).

Another fact - every time someone posts a question about an MLM a few days later a first time poster pops up to say how wonderful the scheme is. Not once has an established member supported the scheme. Interesting how these first timers happen to find the thread - it's almost as if they are paid to look for negative articles and post on them.

You claim that you have no interest in becoming a Team Leader and that you're currently earning £600 a month (based on the company's payment structure) - there is no proof of that. You also say your aim is to get 1,000 customers - realistically that is very unlikely to happen (unless you happen to live in the middle of a major city and get a very high sign-up rate).

Even if you did manage to get to 1,000 customers you wouldn't be able to deliver to them all in time - lets assume an average of a minute per paper to deliver that's over 16.5 hours divide that by 3 for the couple of mates and you get over 5 hours, so based on your 6:30 start time you won't be meeting the company's 10:30 delivery deadline. As you get more customers, you will have to travel further and you can guarantee that they won't all be in nice convenient places, so that 1 minute per customer is probably not realistic. I'm also sure that your mates won't help for long - no one in their right mind is going to get up at the crack of dawn every Sunday to help a friend out for 5 hours.

You also say it is not multi level marketing. To you it might not be if you really have no interest in becoming a team leader. But it definitely is to the company, that is how they are promoting it - the vast majority of their claimed agent's income is generated from the recruitment and management of other agents.

Finally, have you notified HMRC of your new self-employed status? Your £600pm has just become £470ish maximum (even less in the unlikely event that you are already a higher rate tax payer).

gb12345, your post is very good but if I were trying to decide whether or not to take up this wonderful opportunity, it would be user123456's post that put me off:

"Refer a family member and friend works really well, and you need to try and concentrate your delivery root. There are tricks that you learn and they inform you about that makes it easier, but now that I am over 200, I know how to do the same again and again. It pays my mortgage now."

"Delivery root"!

"I am over 200" - that is amazing.

My fantasy would be to hire a very big room, invite ALL the MLM reps and let them try out their 'spiel' on each other!

user123456, do a search for 'Arbonne': there are some wonderful opportunities there.
