What do you understand by MLM?

Multilevel marketing (MLM) is a strategy some direct sales companies use to encourage existing distributors to recruit new distributors who are paid a percentage of their recruits' sales. The recruits are the distributor's "downline." Distributors also make money through direct sales of products to customers. Amway, which sells health, beauty, and home care products, is an example of a well-known direct sales company that uses multilevel marketing.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), often (mistakenly) associated with pyramid marketing, is a business model in which MLM companies build a network of people who commit to selling their product or service. In MLMs, existing distributors are encouraged to recruit new distributors. They then get a percentage of their recruits’ sales. These recruits are said to be the downline of the distributor. The distributors also make money through the direct sales of products to customers. The products being marketed using this approach are mainly health-related, as well as beauty and home care products.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is an appealing business proposition for many people. It offers them an opportunity to become part of a large system for distributing products to consumers. In contrast to a person who starts a business with nothing, MLM participants immediately have access to support from the supplier of the products. They sometimes also offer training courses. That way the MLM participant can relatively easily build their own network of customers.

In practice, MLM mostly occurs in the direct sales of products or services from home. Independent representatives supply the products to end-users. MLM is called multi-level because of the aspect of multiple levels. Each representative has the option to recruit other representatives and train them to start their own business and earn money from the sales of their downline.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) plans

The first forms of Multi-Level Marketing organizations arose in the US in the 1940s. Back then there was a lot of demand for care products, for instance, and companies were trying to figure out how to reach potential customers. The idea of lots of distributors in a large network was born. The concept proved to be highly successful. Soon other companies started using the method as well. Even conventional companies switched to what was then a new approach to marketing. In later years, the concept gradually spread to Canada, Europe, and finally Asia.

Financial help for MLM 

Every MLM company creates its own remuneration plan. The common element between all MLMs is that the remuneration plan consists of two potential revenue flows. The first form of remuneration is paid by the MLM company to the representatives in the form of commissions on their own sales. The second form of remuneration is paid based on the sales made by the other distributors in the main representative’s network. As mentioned earlier, the network under the main representative in the organization executive is called downline distributors.

MLM effectiveness

MLM distributors are expected to sell the products directly to end-users based on word-of-mouth advertising and referrals. They are also expected to actively try to recruit others to join the MLM company’s distribution chain as fellow salespeople.

In practice, most recruits lose money when entering such a model. Nevertheless, participants are encouraged to stick with the MLM philosophy because it promises significant returns. The statistical improbability of that has been pointed out numerous times.

Pyramid schemes

Not every Multi-Level Marketing proposition is a legitimate business opportunity. Pyramid schemes are often employed as a means of fraud. This involves deliberately taking the money of people who aren’t paying attention. Pyramid structures are also dependent on recruiting people who are then labeled as distributors of a product or service. As is the case with legitimate MLMs, a pyramid scheme offers the opportunity to earn money by recruiting and signing up more distributors. They are also remunerated based on performance levels of the downline.
