I have been looking into different MLM companies and the startup costs vary a lot. Some require just $50 while others need $500+. What is a reasonable amount to invest when starting out? I do not want to go into debt just to begin.
Former Herbalife nutrition club owner here. I invested $25,000 to set up my club. First year was brutal - barely covered rent. Second year I started making about $3,000 per month. Third year I was at $6,000 per month. Then COVID hit and I lost everything. The business model worked but it was fragile.

I felt this post in my soul. The loneliness of being the only one still working while your team goes silent is crushing. But remember - you are building skills and resilience that will serve you regardless of whether you stay in MLM or move on to something else.
My mom has been in the same MLM for 22 years. She never made much money from it but she genuinely loves the products and the community. She treats it as a hobby, not a business. I think that is the healthiest approach to MLM.
