<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,My co-worker discovered that Im fairly driven, occupationally, based on the work that I told him I do outside of my office job. He then told me briefly during a water cooler conversation that he makes income through something like the Amazon affiliate program it may not be with Amazon; he may have just been using this as an example, as he wouldnt clarify further.He invited me for coffee to talk about his mentor, Robert Kiyosakis The Business of the 21st Century, goal setting, career stagnation, passive income, and other topics you would expect in a MLM invitation.I asked him specifIcally to tell me more about his Amazon affiliate business and he let it slip that he intends to offer a partnership if he feels I meet his criteria, personality-wise.He made no mention of an entrance fee.He left me with a video to watch He said I need to read the book he gave me Kiyosakis and watch the video before the next meeting.Hes fairly senior at my company so I dont know if this is legitimate or not. All I know is hes not handing out invitations left and right.If this is an MLM program, I havent heard of it before. Does anyone know what hes actually doing with the whole affiliate links on a blog thing? Thats what Im primarily curious about.Thank you!Update 20180507: Thank you all again your input. I really do appreciate it. With the skepticism you instilled in me, I went ahead and did some online investigating into my co-worker and found his website. Hes dropshipping for Amway. Thats what he meant by making an income via referral links. I will politely decline his offer to go any further in this ordeal.Assistant: Scam.If this is an MLM program, I havent heard of it before.It sounds like this is an MLM, he just didnt hard press you with the deep details yet. Doesnt mean it isnt, just means its the slow sell.He then told me briefly during a water cooler conversation that he makes income through something like the Amazon affiliate program it may not be with Amazon; he may have just been using this as an example, as he wouldnt clarify further.Theres nothing about this that requires a partner.Best case scenario, it is actually one of those blogs with affiliate links not Amazon, something sketchier, and if he recruits you into blogging, he gets a cut.Worse case, its just your typical MLM, and hes just been really suave in buttering you up. The other shoe will drop eventually. Some people really polish their sales pitch, theyre not all the super fake cringe fests you spot a mile away.Impossible to tell for sure without more info though, but my guess is that hes completely distorting some sort of typical MLMHuman: Thank you so much for your input.Youre right, I looked into the Amazon Affiliate program and it seemed like fairly independent work.He definitely seems to have done this before, as he really nailed down the description in what it takes to leave a legacy like Michael Dell and the creator of McDonalds.  <response>: Exactly. I cant imagine him needing a partner for affiliate linking. Especially not a partner who needs to do homework first. Go with your gut. Thanks but no thanks.
