Do you have any idea what is Multilevel marketing and is it better than your existing nine-to-five job you are holding right now?
Multilevel marketing is a form of marketing opportunity that levied on the people-get-people concept of sharing benefits generated from sales in a network.
There are many forms of compensation plans that rewards MLM members among those are the over-riding commissions a leader enjoys when his down-line make a sale or recruits someone.
Most people would call MLM a home business opportunity but can a home business as the name suggests makes a lot of money for you?
You might have heard from your friends or have seen it with your own eyes how successful some of them are after they have embarked on these "home business" and you are tickled to give it try.
Stories of people making it rich have further strengthen your resolve to join the league of work-at-home business marketer. If it is so profitable, then why is it known as a home business? Is the name unjustified for such a great opportunity?
Perhaps the name stuck when it was first started out in the 60s and 70s where there were massive unemployment due to the global recession and people have to find an alternate route to survive the financial turmoil. People started selling door-to-door and started to recruit members. They saved on advertising costs and there is no middlemen involved in the sales process which results in cheaper marketing cost. This extra cost saved was later passed on back to the network as income to its members.
But how good is MLM as a work-at-home business opportunity that makes people leave their existing desk job?
Well, it all depends on how effective and productive is your network. If all your down-line are doing their part on recruiting new members and make sales, then you will find that MLM is a good investment of your time and effort.
The more people in your network mean that your earnings potential will be much greater than if you have just a few. MLM works on the promotional system. As you get a set of results like the sum of money you have achieved in your monthly sales or a particular number of members in your network, your own status get promoted and you earn better commissions and rewards like gaining free trips and bonuses awarded by the companies.
There is practically no huge initial investment costs involved in joining a MLM company. You do not have to pay thousands of dollars just to get started. Maybe a token subscription sum of money to pay for your starting kit and you are all set to go.
