- I minor correction -- Avon is not an MLM. I know, my wife sells Avon
- and nobody gets a cut of what she sells. Avon reps are encouraged to
- recruit new reps -- but the reward for doing that is usually a fixed,
- one time award.

- Also, the cost to become an Avon rep is virtually $0 -- you can get
- started by buying a few brochures and hanging them on doorknobs.
