I trust my brother Richard, shown here with granddaughter Emma and daughter Laurie. He's much more than just my sibling. He's been a friend and mentor all my life. And when I started my home-based MLM business, I needed to find people on the Net who could mentor my fledgling efforts, help me get started the right way and get my work-from-home efforts on the road to success.
The key is to find people who offer value and guidance. I use my social networks to locate people and join groups who seem to want to build a strong relationship with me. Like you, I get tons of email with tag lines like 'I made $23,000+ in a day using xyz system and so can you.' And they throw in a few free ebooks. TRASH.
I suspect the reality is that many self-styled MLM 'gurus' really aren't making that much money. If it's true that only about 3% really achieve full financial freedom (and I suspect it is) than most of the stuff you're looking at is junk, promoted by someone who is only interested in getting the contents of your wallet.
So how do you find valuable people with products that can really help you succeed?
Use your own good judgment. Look for people in your social network who really offer sound guidance, who invite you to free webinars, video presentations, and send emails with good content that aren't beating you on the head to buy their product NOW. Maybe they'll suggest you take a free trial to look at what their service/product has to offer. And when you start evaluating what they've got, you'll see that they provide full training and support, an offer to refund your money in 30 days if you wish to opt out, and/or the ability to cancel your participation at any time.
Use those criteria and you'll start to cut through the information overload.
