What is multi-level marketing or MLM?
Multi-level marketing is known as MLM or sometimes Network Marketing and is a legitimate, ethical way for large companies to sell and distribute products.

Multi-level marketing is used by large recognised, multi-national companies like Avon Cosmetics to promote and distribute products around the world. Kleeneze is another great example of MLM, both of the these opportunities approved by us

The reason it's called multi-level marketing is because those people involved in the business make money on their personal sales but also on the sales of others that they introduce into the business. The people that are introduced into the business are added to the level below the introducer in the organisational structure. When money is made it is made on 'multiple levels'.

Everyone benefits
The multi-level marketing structure offers benefits to all those involved.

The company
MLM provides companies the option of promotion and distribution of their product nation-wide or world-wide through representatives, without huge overheads.

The representative
The representatives are offered the chance to earn money by promoting tried and tested products from an established company by working from home.

The customer
The cost savings of supplying the goods or services direct through a representative rather than traditional retail channels are considerable. Typically, the customer enjoys low cost and good value for money since these cost savings are passed on.

What's the catch?
As an employee of a company with a traditional job you are paid a set wage, have set duties and need to fulfll the duties set out in your job description to keep your job. With multi-level marketing you are essentially your own boss and are paid entirely on your performance and the performance of those you introduce into the business.

Many people believe that multi-level marketing has the benefits of being self employed without many of the complexities involved in starting your own business from scratch - there's no need to develop or test your own products, you can benefit from the companies brand and reputation and follow simple methods and training to help you to succeed.

Illegal pyramid schemes
Some illegal pyramid schemes claim to be legitimate MLM organisations but are illegal because they offer no achievable way to make money through the sale of products or services. The only way participants make money is by recruiting others, learn more about pyramid schemes.
