Introduction
MLM or multi-level marketing is a new method of marketing or a distribution channel. Usually, direct selling companies sell their products directly to the consumers and do not include the distribution channels which may be present in between. The direct selling companies rely on the word-of-mouth for the promotion of business.
MLM can be considered as an alternate channel as far as distribution of products and services are concerned. The MLM companies do not use the traditional channel of distribution which includes distributors, retailers, and consumers but they sell their products directly to the customers. Due to this reason, MLM is also known as direct selling. As a matter of fact when the customers like these products, they start sharing it with other people.
The good thing about joining MLM companies is that they pay you when people start buying their products due to your recommendation. In addition, you are also given an opportunity to build your own team of distributors. In MLM you are not paid to recruit people but you are paid according to the total volume of sales generated from your team. Moreover, the consumers and distributors in MLM are rewarded because of their word-of-mouth advertisement.
