That's true to earn from MLM you need to have a good public relation skill you need to be an excellent presenter and have a magnetic personality, if you are just a follower you need to be in a good team so they can help you earn also, You have a chance in MLM than gambling you don't need skill in gambling even if you have the skill you will still rely on luck, there's no similarity in gambling and MLM you can be successful in MLM but in gambling its unlikely.
So by using MLM, we can benefit more than gambling but it also depends on what MLM we choose because not all MLM can provide benefits. But I rarely see that many people can make a lot of profit because those at the lower levels make nothing. In addition, most MLM products are expensive, and few people can afford them. So the MLM target is people who are in the upper middle class. If MLM products could be more affordable, especially to the lower classes of society, maybe many people would feel the benefits.
