Conclusion?
Based on the facts, Market America is a legitimized company with variety products, worldwide distribution and a powerful compensation plan.
However, that doesn't guarantee success for you and your family.
No matter who your upline or sponsor will be, how powerful the compensation plan is, or how many different products the company carries...
You will still need to present your products or opportunity to a large number of prospects consistently to build a solid customer base and a strong team.
The products will not "sell itself" and your team will not grow automatically by just recruiting "2 people".
You will need a way or a system to consistently bring your potential customers and partners after you run out of the first 60-100 warm market you are going to talk to.
In fact I only had a list of 50 at the beginning and I ran out of people to talk to real quick.
Fortunately I came across my mentor Ferny who taught me how to setup a system on the Internet to generate 30-50 leads per day.
Success is all about preparation, and you gotta learn the skill sets needed to grow a business that will pay you a significant residual income.
