Businesses that rely on people monetizing their friendships make me sad.
The business model is actually pretty solid, i find. Its very competitively priced with the market and people can use their existing phones. Its not like you're buying 200 dollars worth of vitamins or $500 worth of noni juice.
I'm not saying its an invalid business model - it totally works.
The thing I don't like about it is that when someone is in a multilevel marketing (MLM) program, they see all of their friends, family, acquaintances, and anonymous strangers on forums *cough cough*, as profit opportunities instead of people. When a business relies on its customers exploiting their personal relationships for profit, I see it as a socially destructive force. If any of my friends try to pull that with me, they'll get one warning before they never see me again.
If you're looking at this program as "FREE MONEY!!!", sit down and reflect a bit. Maybe your friendships are worth more than $6 each($20/3).
I agree. I was actually having this conversation with a friend. But it always seems like your will be advertising yourself or working for a company that is advertising while you are doing the work.
i'm just throwing this out there for the people who are into this kind of stuff. I like mlm / network marketing type stuff and other people do too. It takes a certain breed I guess.
