Deceptive Advertising for WAH Businesses

It's easy to avoid - just be truthful about your business. There are people out there looking for business opportunities and there are people who are looking for jobs. Don't lie to the people looking for jobs by saying you're "hiring" for "work from home executives" when the truth is that you're recruiting for your MLM business. MLM and direct sales businesses are GREAT! They are very successful for lots of people. But to use deceptive advertising like that is just shooting yourself in the foot.

1. It makes you a liar.
2. It puts people in front of you with a "job" mentality...is that really what you want for your business?


Be smart - if your business is as great as you think it is, you don't HAVE to try to fool people into thinking they're getting a job interview when they're getting recruited into something they will have to make an investment to join.

Stop lying, people. It's annoying as heck and this is a big part of what puts a bad taste in people's mouths when they think of MLM and Direct Sales. If everyone would just be HONEST, it would be easier and more successful for everyone.

So true! If the product is that great, people will come running to you wanting to sell it, too. Also, it's not necessary to use every single social function as an oppportunity to push your MLM product.
