ya we do prepaid legal as the smallest part of our business... we also do very low cost term life insurance, mutual fund savings accounts, and we do a true bi-weekly loan to pay peoples houses off 10-15 yrs sooner on an average 30 yr mortgage and save them about $100K in the process..

Are you really making money off of this? Is this a legitimate business? Is it stable? Is it easy to get into and start making money? The guy that told me about it had a $90,000 vehicle and was telling me that prepaid legal was all he does. And he can afford anything he wants. I didn't believe him...Need to tell me more.

well its not the easiest business... its simple but it will be the hardest thing u will ever do..u have to think long term.. but when theres 59 millionaires and over 2500 people making anywhere between $100-999K. primerica is the largest financial group in north america backed by citi the largest company in the world... on a totally unrelated subject what car was the guy driving? as far as stable, it will only be stable if u build wide enough but it all depends as how u see stable.. it is legit and u can start making money as soon as about30 days

Primerica is an MLM. Let's get that out on the open right away.
Now, with that said, MLM is not a bad thing. There are many MLM's out there, many not worth a damn thing, and a few that actually are legitimate opportunities.

Some things to remember when looking at MLM's is:
1) Research...ALOT! Do not take opinions from someone trying to sell you something. Research on the internet and before you take someones opinion as fact research that too.

2) Become part of a company that provides a service or product you truly believe in. Your future clients will see right through you if you dont.

3) KNow your market. Is it a business that is in demand?

Just a few things to help out. I have been involved with an MLM by the name of Advocare for many years now and consider it a blessing everyday.

Before I found such a great company though I had to sift through alot of "turkey" companies.

Just do your research and follow the points I made above.

A word of caution though. If a company pays you for every person you recruit and not soley on product or service consumption beware....I can't state that enough.

Other than that MLM these days can be a very good thing. I have been approached by many MLM groups over the years and I knew the system worked it was just a matter of finding the right company.
Best of luck!

As with anything you should follow your gut when making decisions. But there are a few companies out there that are very real and good opportunities.

I got a friend who makes pretty good money on MLM.
But the thing is for every one guy making 100k, there's 100 people losing 1k a year.

MLM = pyramid scheme 90% of the time

a business has to make like 60% of it's revenue from non-members to NOT be considered a pyramid scheme. If you don't generate that 60%, your kicked out. So if you want to stay in, guess what?... you fake the outside sales as long as you can.

Oh... and you MUST drink the cool-aid, (i.e. never show skepticism)
