Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies continue to thrive despite criticisms labeling them as pyramid schemes. Critics may misunderstand day-to-day operations, leading to a skewed public perception. Most participants join with low business expectations, often facing financial losses. The discussion compares MLM membership dynamics to conventional discount clubs, revealing varied motivations. The podcast explores the pricing strategies of MLM products and argues that success in this field often depends on sales skills rather than the promise of quick wealth.

The Truth About "The Great Resignation" - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈You have no doubt seen news headlines and other videos about “The Great Resignation” accompanied by equally alarmists statistics like 40% of people are about to quit their job and April alone saw over 4 million people hand in their resignation.Now this news could be incredibly frightening or liberating to you depending on whether you are a stressed out business owner or soulless corporate automaton respectively, but before you read too much into it (or worse yet base major career decisions off of it) you should know the full story.So is this a serious event in the landscape of employer employee relationships? Well those of you who watch the channel regularly will know I hate dragging out an answer… so no, not really, not to vast majority of you watching anyway.Sorry to be the party pooper, but there are a few big issues that most outlets are omitting in their coverage of this story, either unknowingly or intentionally to make this all sound more spectacular than it really is.#TheGreatResignation #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Is The World Bank Actually an Evil Empire? - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The world bank and the International Monetary Fund are two international organizations that receive a fair bit of criticism for being overly powerful empires used by the wealthy and influential to squash poor and developing nations.And as we will explore a lot of this criticism isn’t entirely unfair either.But part of the problem stems from the average individual not knowing what the world bank is and what they do, which means at best they only hear about the issues that make headlines, or at worst they don’t hear anything about it and go grr, banks are bad, so a bank for the entire world must be the biggest baddest bank of all.And as we have said, they might not be wrong, but before we get the pitchforks out it’s time to learn how money works, and thoroughly investigate what these institutions do, what they are supposed to do, and why everybody seams to be angry at them all the time.Ok so they world bank and the international monetary fund are often confused for one another, and in fairness they are similar in a lot of ways. Both of them were started as financial arms of the United nations in the mid 1940’s as a response to the financial factors the led to world war 2.They are also both something that most people won’t have anything to with in their day to day lives, unless they were to become a very senior politician or bureaucrat.But here is the general breakdown.#WorldBank #IMF #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

I’ve also done it to highlight a big problem that I think is worth talking about, monetization drastically effects what you spend your time watching here on YouTube without you even realising it.If you aren’t watching on the first day this video goes live then the title was “This video has made me -$953.56” because that’s how much I spend all in on making the video you are watching right now.That might surprise you, after all most of my videos are made from edited movie scenes and stock clips, compared to some of the things you watch on YouTube, I don’t need to give piles of cash away, film in exotic locations or get a new car every other week.But I still employ an editor who I want to pay very well for the work he does in making these videos come to life, and on top of that there are licenses for the software applications I use, as well as licenses for the things as mundane as a cloud storage drive, email servers and accounting software.The barriers to entry for a YouTube channel like mine are very low, but they are rising, especially if you want to stand out in an ever more competitive landscape of high budget content, and this is causing perhaps one of the biggest problems on the platform.And no, I am not talking about people saying naughty things and getting their videos demonetized, I’m talking about something that greatly impacts the way you consume hours of video every week.#youtubemonetization #howmoneyworks #financeThanks to Ed6767 for the image at 7:19 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Exterior_of_YouTube_Space_Kings_Cross.jpgEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

How To Make Your Own Currency & The Companies That Already Have - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈With all the talk of reckless money printing, hyperinflation and debasement of currencies around the world today, it sounds reasonable to have some kind of backup plan ready to replace regular currencies should the need arise.Now of course there are crypto “currencies” and they are great as alternative investment vehicles, but their high transaction fees and slow processing times make them extremely unsuitable to replace something like the American dollar, in whatever form it may take.This is all really frustrating because a nations currency is supposed to serve the people of the nation and it does genuinely seem like in recent years this role has mutated into bending the economy to the whim of policy makers… who may not always have the best ideas.If only YOU had access to the control panel, you could stop all of this reckless money printing (that according to some top economists and financiers, is driving us towards hyperinflation Armageddon).This begs the question, how could you create your own currency? And how could an obscure old video game give us the answer to this question.So it’s time to literally learn how money works as we look into the steps an individual or a group could take to create a currency with the same functionality and recognition as a those created by governments around the world.So to get started we need to properly understand what a currency must do, to be a viable replacement for lets say the US dollar.#Currency #Hyperinflation #HowMoneyWorksMusic by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

What Company Made Steve Jobs a Billionaire? - Hint: it Wasn't Apple! - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈Steve jobs was worth an estimated 10.2 billion dollars at the time of his tragic death in late 2011, making him one of the wealthiest people in the world at the time.This will not come as a huge surprise to most of you, because after all he was the founder and CEO of Apple Computers, which went on to be the most valuable company in history, with a market capitalization today of over 2.2 trillion dollars.The thing is though, apple had very little to do with the fortune amassed by this legendary businessman.Apple was famously founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in a Californian garage in 1976.The business found it’s initial seed capital from jobs selling his Volkswagen Bus, and Wozniak selling a high end pocket calculator.These funds were then use to develop the apple one and subsequent apple two desktop computers, which introduced the world to a new way of interacting with these previously cumbersome machines.During this period, Ronald Wayne, the often forgotten third founder of apple computers would sell his share in the company for $800 dollars. Those same shares today even after dilution would be worth more than half a trillion dollars, but c'est la vieVideo Clips Used In Video-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4kn_GqGsKc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbbW8SO08XQDiscord I hang out on - https://discord.gg/MJGcTH6#SteveJobs #Billionaire #HowMoneyWorksAnswer to the mistake we made - The picture of the three founders does not actually include Ronald Wayne. In fact the man we crossed out was actually John Scully, the CEO that later ousted Jobs from the company.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

This year has also claimed the two biggest bankruptcies in American history that didn’t occur during the GFC and if that’s got you feeling nervous, don’t worry, according to the numbers 2024 is going to be much worse.According to data from Standard & Poor’s, corporate bankruptcies in the major companies they track were up over 200% in the first half of 2023. High profile companies like wework, Vice Media and Bed Bath and Beyond all went under due to a combination of poor management, changing consumer preferences, high interest rates and bad market conditions.But what does this even mean?Even though these companies went bankrupt Vice is still making videos, you can still rent a office from WeWork, and Bed Bath and Beyond is still selling overpriced laundry hampers. Bankruptcies just aren’t what they used to be anymore and now instead of being the corporate equivalent of game over, it’s just another business strategy, which is just one of four reasons why it’s become so popular. Now you all know I hate videos from supposed experts with wide open mouths peddling some doomer, but the other three reasons why bankruptcies are on the rise are honestly worrying and they also show why business leaders just don’t take it seriously anymore. The first reason that bankruptcies are booming is because of a new investing strategy that rewards taking on as much risk as possible. Private equity is a broad classification of investing that just means putting money into companies that are not publicly listed on any securities exchange.Venture capitalists who invest in early startups are a type of private equity, all of the deals you watch get made on shark tank are private equity deals… if you give your family member a few thousand dollars to get their Etsy store going in exchange for a cut of their future profits you are technically a private equity investor, so make sure to slap that on your LinkedIn profile. But even though that is going to hurt lenders and employees, for the private equity companies that created this situation it’s going to be an amazing profit opportunity because you will never believe it, they can use bankruptcies to make even more money.So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out what’s really behind the Bankruptcy Boom.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.
