Multi Level Marketing.

Think of it as a pyramid. You get people underneath you to sell stuff. Each level gets a percentage of sales of the people underneath it.

The people at the top are the ones making the money, the ones at the bottom are the ones getting the promises of riches.

MLM is Multi Level Marketing. Generally pyramid schemes where the people at the top make money and the people at the bottom make nothing. Example - you're at the top and you get 5 people under you to sell the product and you make commissions on each of there sale. This is not a very good business model and most fail. I suggest you get into Internet Marketing where you work for yourself, sell your own products and make it automated. Definately more money and not wasted time dealing w/ people. Hope that helps.

You not only make money selling the company's products, you get a percentage of all the profits from the sales of people you have recruited to sell the products. Avon, Mary Kay, Keller Williams Realty, Herbalife..

It’s funny and irritating at the same time when every time the word MLM pops up there is a bunch of a gun slingers with their “It’s a scam!” and “It’s a pyramid scheme!” answers. There is a ritual in the society to have a number of ready-made slap-on labels for the most popular triggers: immigrants – they are steeling our jobs, success in anything – to good to be true, failure at anything – I knew I would suck, MLM – it’s a scam, etc.
I’m not proud to admit that I used to be one of those people , until I started noticing that every once in a while I would prove those slap-ons to be wrong. Eventually I stopped paying attention to any gun slingers and made it a rule to conduct my own research before I form an opinion about anything.
That’s how I made money in a number of businesses throughout my career, including retail, construction and real estate. Same thing with the MLM.
I had been fighting against MLM for about fifteen years. I was laughing at it and making fun of everybody involved in it, but then I started noticing how much money these people are making and it kind of made me interested in researching the subject. And eventually I fund a video with Robert Kiyosaki talking about it and turned out it ‘s a legitimate business model. In his book Before You Quit Your Job he actually mentions that if he had to start over he would start from joining an MLM company.
A number of well known companies use this distribution model for their products and services.
The matter of fact almost any business offers a referral bonus, which makes this business an MLM, but until they use a word MLM everybody is OK with it. I bet your gym offers some sort of a reward for dragging your friends over there.
Here you will receive a number of responses like ”It’s a scam!” or “They don’t work!” Just for fun, ask those people if they can provide you with any kind of supportive data. I seriously doubt they will answer.
I have a few articles written about the subject and you can find them at my blog PavelBecker.com.
Good luck with your research.

Hi there,

MLM mean Multi Level Marketing and it's not something that I would recommend getting involved int if your wanting to me quick money from home. There is a wonderful at home business that requires only $10 to start work from home. I'll pay your way into the first package (a $47 value). It's a legit on-line direct sales business opportunity where you receive a commission for product package sales ($47 to $97+ per sale) and you are able to keep 100% of the money made from sales. It uses the GPT (Get Paid Today) payment method & uses the "pay it forward" concept to provide one of the most lucrative cash leveraging compensation plans available today. I'm apart of an awesome team on some 100+ members who provide full support and help you get started. There is not the time or space to discuss it here, but I have provided a link below where you can check it out and come to your own conclusion. Check it out and take the Free tour here this tour will take you throught the entire set up of the business and go over the compinsation plan. Be sure to contact me and let me know what you think. Have a great day.

Regards,

Toni
