Correction: The study concluding that 99.6% of MLMers don’t make any money or lose money was conducted the Consumer Awareness Institute. This study was not conducted by the FTC, but can be found on the FTC’s website.

Eric Worre is a self-proclaimed network marketing (MLM or direct selling) expert with a YouTube channel, Network Marketing Pro, aimed at providing so-called network marketing training resources to MLM distributors. In 2014 he wrote and hosted an MLM documentary called “The Rise of the Entrepreneur”, in which he attempted to “dispel many of the common misconceptions surrounding network marketing”. In my video I reveal how the documentary actually sheds even more light on how MLMs take advantage of many under the guise of “financial freedom” and how they use cult tactics to draw in participants. I also bring up questions on Eric Worre’s history, and whether or not he actually follows what he preaches.
This video and other videos on my channel are a great resource to use if you’ve ever thought to yourself, “are MLMs scams”, “do MLMs actually work”, “are MLMs pyramid schemes”, or “are MLMs cults”. Genetically Modified Skeptic and I have been researching and debunking MLM false claims for many years now, and I’m excited to finally have a platform of my own to further the antimlm movement!
