I have been offered to join a company with a forced matrix plan (3x7). Can someone explain how this works in practice? Is it true that the company fills positions for you, or is that just marketing hype?
Reading all these comments makes me realize how many people have been through similar experiences. Maybe we should start a support group for former MLM distributors. Not to bash the industry, but to help people process their experiences and move forward.

I respectfully disagree with some of your points. Yes, most people do not make money, but that is true of any business. The SBA says 50% of traditional businesses fail within 5 years. At least with MLM the startup cost is low so the financial risk is minimal.
I completely agree with your points. I joined two different MLM companies and had very similar experiences. The monthly autoship alone cost me over $4,000 before I realized I was basically paying for the right to sell overpriced products.
My biggest piece of advice - never recruit someone who cannot afford to lose their investment. If a person is living paycheck to paycheck, you are potentially putting them in a worse financial position. Be ethical about who you bring into the business.
