What Is Multi Level Marketing?
Multi level marketing is a term used to describe the marketing strategy of certain companies as a part of their overall marketing structure. The term ‘network marketing’ can also be used to describe this strategy.
The structure of the system is designed to compensate the independent representatives or ‘distributors’ who look to promote and market the companies products through their own personal, individual activities. These distributors are also able to built their own business with the organization by bringing their own reps on board and earning further commissions depending on their activities.
These representatives do not get paid in a salary or wage by the company, but through a commission structure set out by the business. Not one will you get paid commission based on your own personal activities in gathering customers and selling products, but also through the actions of those you have recruited. The more you recruit, therefore, the more you can earn.
This arrangement is largely similar to a franchise arrangement. Commissions are paid out to the distributors by way of a compensation plan. This will often provide bonuses and different promotional levels depending on the size of ones active customer base and the size of their own distributor downline.
There are of course many skeptics to the activities of MLM companies. Due to the links made with pyramid selling and the nature of selling through word of mouth and to your friend and family, a negative spin has covered the activities of MLM.
Despite these negative outlook however, there is good money to be made through an MLM company. They can offer part time distributors a great way to make some additional income through as much or a little activity as they can afford to commit to. For those willing and able to put in extra time, with the right company, big money can be made.
