Amway paved the way legally for network marketing. Much like franchising, it was seen as a illegitimate form of business at first.

Although proven as a legal and ethical business model in all 50 states in the USA, and most of the rest of the world, mlm's reputation is still tarnished.

#2. Abuse of Independent Representatives. This abuse by companies and/or upline leaders includes "front loading:" - encouraging new reps to buy more product than needed to "qualify" for higher pay in the pay plan.

 
What training is available for a MLM home based business?

and just as abusive - sending un/under-trained people into their warm market, or an upline USING the new rep to access his market.
