2.0 out of 5 stars Recycled info, March 29, 2002

Tony Rush "TonyRushDOTcom" (southeast Alabama) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Wave 4 Way to Building Your Downline (Paperback)

In my opinion, Richard Poe is an excellent writer and has become a master at selling the same information over and over.

I don't say that is a BAD thing. Some people need a steady stream of such information in order to keep their minds fed with positive material.

I don't have a problem with that. However, the titles of these books seem misleading as there really isn't any information in this book that wasn't made available in the previous three books. The examples are different, but the basic premise is the same: today's network marketing companies are VERY user-friendly and don't include the hassles that were dominant in the industry 20-30 years ago. Today, you can make an insane amount of money in MLM by working from home and not having to handle product inventory, paperwork, shipping, receiving, employees, overhead, etc.

If you're just looking for some good info on MLM, this is a good book. But, since the title is "....way to build your downline", it's a bit misleading...there's not much new here.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Money, August 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: The Wave 4 Way to Building Your Downline (Paperback)

I wish I had paid more attention to the other reviewers before purchasing this book: at no time does it teach you how to build anything. It's merely another book giving mysterious stories of people who were down and out and then exploded into million-dollar success by network marketing. How? you ask? Who knows. There's just hints that "Susie" began paying more attention to her downline, or that "Bob" started using the internet to build his clientele base......
Skip it; buy Your First Year In Network Marketing by Mark Yarnell and just keep re-reading it.
