Is anyone still trying mlm with this economy? Are people lining up to join? Can you somehow get people to join (without telling them they will be instantly wealthy?)

I think the only way to earn good money from a MLM program is to find one with a quality product with name brand recognition - not some obscure product no one has heard about...

The only way to get people to join is to be honest that they won't become instantly wealthy. When your prospect understands that they are going to have to do some work they are more likely to actually do some work. It is amazing what happens when people understand what is expected of them to get results.
I agree with getagrip that the company has to have a good product. What is a good product is the million dollar question. Here is how I evaluate a product.
1. Is the problem it solves real? There are lots of companies trying to solve insignificant problems.
2. Does the product actually solve the problem? If it doesn't do the job that is a immediate deal breaker.
3. Is it priced competitively to other solutions? The big problem I have with most MLM's is the product is priced too high making retail sales impossible.
4. Do people really want it? There are companies that do 1, 2 & 3 but people just don't get excited about what the company offers. Does it emotionally excite or is is intellectual?
