There are some legitimate ones out there but the big money is usually only made by people that got in very early and have been around for a long time. A girl I was recently dating quit her HR corporate gig to do Mary Kay full time. She hasn't replaced her corporate income with it yet but she enjoys it a lot more, so that's a plus. People that are able to put in the work to even make a spare $1,000 per month in these businesses would often be very good at some other business involving face to face sales, like real estate or insurance.
If you would enjoy doing something like Herbalife, Mary Kay, Amway, etc. more than rotting in a cubicle at some suburban office park, more power to you. Just don't buy the B.S. about being able to make 6 figures after a couple of years while working only 10 hours per week. It's a long hard road to "Easy Street" just like any other business, but it can be done.
