Robert,
Being more of a lurker here than a post, I wonder why you asked the question.
I've written tons of articles on realistic income expectations in MLM.
A very simplistic way to contemplate earnings is to guess about 30% commissions from retail sales and between 5 and 8% commissions on group sales.
So...sell $1000 per month, you're looking at about $300 in earnings. Have ten others doing the same for $10,000 in group sales and that's another $500 per month in earnings or a total of $800.
These are really average numbers I'm using.
Each company has a different twist on compensation plans, but bottom line you can't sell $5 product and have $10 in earnings paid out. It's just not mathmatically possible.
