Why I thought CTWT or Changing the World Together was a SCAM!

Have you heard about www.changingtheworld2gether.com? They use something call attraction marketing and help you succeed in any MLM business. What they really do is this: They promise you that if you join their website, they will build a downline for you i.e. you won't have to go looking for people. The reason they are able to do it is because they all work together as a team and whenever a new member joins, regardless of who brings the new members, it is placed based on their pre-defined structure.
I used to think that MLM sucks in general and so is this program, because you purchase the product for $125 minimum per month and you only get about $5 from each person in your downline. They said that I would be able to make over $1000 per month as soon they decided to "officially launch". It all sounded like a scam when I was first introduced to the idea by somebody who sent me a junk email.
But then I thought, what if it really works out. It's much better to have someone work for you than do it all by yourself. And if you want to be rich fast, then MLM is the best way to do it, next to stock or currency trading. At least the risk is less

.They already have about 300 members. So I decided to join. Let's see where it's going to take me, but there are some quite talented team members that are working as volunteers to bring traffic to the website. They also have a "donation fund" to which people can donate and the money can go towards paying for a new person's expenses of joining the MLM they promote (which is Xango - the juice making company) or for advertising.
Neat idea - but is it really going to work? The best thing about it is that if Xango goes down, then the team can literally drop Xango and choose another company that does MLM (Multi Level Marketing) within 24 hours because they are using Xango as a vehicle. So the success of the actual MLM business doesn't even matter. The success is based on the team efforts. I wish I could come up with this kind of idea first than the guy who started all this - Rick Meywes or something like that - who is now sitting at the top of it all. More updates to follow later.
