What you need to know about Multi Level Marketing opportunities!

I, like most people, had a great deal of doubt about the network marketing or multi level marketing (MLM) sector.

Over the last decade, some of the largest companies in MLM networking have been upgrading their systems, security included, in this booming sector.

Multi level marketing simply put, is a marketing strategy that rewards associates of direct sales companies. Not only for product sales they generate, but also for the sales of others (their team) they introduced to the company.

In the better MLM companies, you will earn commission only on sales of the company's products or services. None of the large network marketing companies reward their associates with sign-up fees.

This puts the product or service at the centre of the business, although money is also earned from the sales revenue achieved by new recruits.

If payment is achieved primarily from recruiting or if new members are required to buy more product than they could sell, the company is operating illegally.

I believe the hallmarks of a credible MLM operation are:

• The reward plan is carefully explained and workable.
• It’s always helpful if the product is unique or exclusive.
• You must ensure there is a demand for the product.
• Ensure that the company helps you in building your business and selling your product.
• It’s clearly registered as a commercial operation.

Tips on working with multi-level marketing companies.

1. It helps to realise, whatever you may be told, that this is selling.
2. Although you may call it recommending it is the sale of products or services that create your earnings.
3. Most organizations provide blue-print plans to build your business. They also provide successful exponents of these plans as mentors and trainers.
4. The use of internet technology is accelerating the success of mlm ventures.
