Where are you on this scale?

Everybody knows by now that the two extremes in network marketing are, one one side, the "free" programs, and on the other side, the "top tier" programs.

The two biggest drawing points of free programs is their low cost of entry and the ease with which you can get people to sign up. The downside is that you attract people specifically looking for "free," and both retention and commssions are very low.

The big draw for top tier programs is that commissions are extremely high-- perhaps over $10k per sale. The big drawback is that you have to go through a LOT of people to find someone with that kind of money available.

So, here's my question. On a scale of 0 to 10, with free programs being zero, and programs with at least $2000 entry fee to play being ten, where do you stand, and why?

Please respond with something true and useful. Spam ads for your business will be deleted. That's not to say you can't mention your business, but I just don't want a bunch of ads here. If you do mention it, tell us why you joined that business, and not one somewhere else on the scale.
