Multi-level marketing
Multi-level marketing or better known as MLM is a marketing strategy that makes use of two revenue streams from direct sales of the products they are selling and from the commission that is derived from the sales of recruited team members. This recruited team members is referred to as the participant's "downline", and can provide multiple levels of compensation. Most of the time to become a member the recruits would need to shell out huge about of money as membership fee and initial products to sell.
MLM is also referred as pyramid selling, network marketing, and referral marketing.
Pyramid scheme - is an illegal business model that recruits members who would need to pay a FEE to join with a promise of payments or services for enrolling others into the scheme, it does not offer any investments or sale of products or services. As recruiting multiplies, recruiting becomes saturated and it would be impossible to recruit more, and most members are unable to profit; as such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable and often illegal.
Pyramid scheme or pyramid scam is a quick rich scheme it cannot continue very long.
Multi-level marketing (MLM) is not a Pyramid scheme - if you are engage in MLM make sure that most of the money that you make is based on your sales to the public, if it is it may be a legitimate multilevel marketing plan. If the money you make is based on the number of people you recruit and your sales to them, it is not legitimate and it is a "pyramid scheme" (Pyramid SCAM). Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of participants lose money.
Network marketing is a type of business opportunity that is very popular with people looking for part-time, flexible businesses. Some of the best-known companies in the US that engage in network marketing includes Avon, Mary Kay Cosmetics and Tupperware.
