MLM Marketing is a marketing structure used by some companies. The MLM structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by paying promoters for both the sales of the companies products they make and for any new distributors they bring into the company as well.

Anyone who joins the MLM business and promotes the product is known as a distributor, they do not earn a salary but instead they are awarded a commission dependant on how many sales they make themselves and the sales of their down line. The process is similar to a franchise.

A down line is the people that have paid you to join the MLM business and you will get a percentage of their sales. So in essence you pay to join into the business and then for every product you or a member of your down line sell you earn money for.

So here’s a few examples of MLM businesses; Quick and easy to get set up, Can start straight away if you like, if you join near the top of the MLM business line you can stand to make a lot of money by building a large downline and earning lots of commissions.

However there are Disadvantages of MLM’s: The methods are now becoming dated; this is because most MLM models encourage you to sell to your friends and family. They also involve cold calling which is where you ring up people and tell them about your product or from a list of people you can buy that have bought similar products in the past or have been used by other people in the MLM. If you join near the bottom of the line you don’t stand to make much money as the market has already been saturated by the people in your upline People with more advanced online and offline marketing techniques will do better than you Most MLM’s are pyramid schemes (which are illegal) in disguise

So overall I think MLM’s are outdated as the marketing techniques they teach are no longer effective. Nearly every MLM will not provide you with the real training you need on Internet Marketing if you are to make money online.

Now there of course there are people making money from MLM’s and I’m not by any means trying to say they cannot make you money, but there is a very high failure rate as there’s a lack of training and support!

One of the main reasons people join an MLM is because of the lifestyle that is portrayed however at the beginning you will spend most of your time calling people on the phone and more often than not getting negative responses. This doesn’t sound like fun to me, instead a lot like a job!

However if you still think MLM is the way to go make sure you join near the top of a line otherwise the market will be saturated and you will most likely not make many sales.
