You have a good point, but also consider this: If you tell your friends and family about it, all you would have to say is come check this movie out! Get them to the computer and have them watch the movie. If they ask how it is working out...just be honest...I just signed up, you should to! If they give ya a fit...just tell em to get back with ya in a month or two to see how it is working out...simple.
All my friends and family said that "yeah in a few months let me know hows it going", or "You'll have wasted $30 in 3 months, than Ill be right" or something like that. I plan to follow up in 3 months and show them they are wrong. ALSO, I am not doing any marketing or advertising yet, until I have a solid plan for my downline. No point in getting 20 people to sign up if you cant show them how to do it, they will just leave in a month or two if you cant tutor them.
