Are Gifting Programs Legal and Ethical?

If you have started looking for opportunities as a network marketer or you have spent some time working with such businesses already, there is good chance that you have heard about gifting programs. At first glance, gifting programs have a lot to recommend them, but before you get started with one, there is a lot that you need to be aware of. The first thing that you should know is that in many states they are illegal, and with this in mind, you need to take into consideration your location and local laws.

Essentially, gifting programs work the way that putting a dollar in chain letter and adding your name to the bottom of a list does. At it's most basic, you send a certain amount of communication to to people that you know or have contact information for and request that they send you money. Then, they in turn send out letters requesting the same. It plays on the fact that each person only has to send in a very small amount and that they will soon be rewarded for a very small amount of effort.

The fact is, the closer you are to the origination of the program, the more likely it is that you will get something out of it. There is often no way to tell how far it has progressed by the time it gets to you, and there is nothing that says that any of the people you contact will respond at all.

Some companies now use complicated software so no one can cheat anyone, the money goes straight to the company. But according to MLM Law, they might not be able to do this. Before I joined any gifting club, I would ask the owner if I could visit his office and speak with him first, especially if I depended to use gifting to allow myself to earn a full-time income.

The issue is that gifting programs are so simple to understand that they often draw people who would otherwise never touch anything like network marketing. There is no convoluted or complex compensation program, but chances are, there will be no compensation at all! Many people never even seen their initial low investment back in programs like these. However, I've personally met a few

A gifting program is a difficult proposition at best, and an illegal one at worst. Usually they are easy to identify, and you'll find that it is always better to give them a wide berth.
