Multilevel Marketing (MLM)
Network Marketing

Multilevel Marketing (MLM) should not be confused with illegal pyramid schemes. Multilevel Marketing is legal in all 50 states.

Multilevel Marketing Is a strategy used by many direct sales companies to sell their products and/or services. Existing staff is encouraged to promote and sell products and/or services directly to others and bring new or additional recruits into the business. Those that recruit others are paid a percentage of their recruit's sales. Multilevel Marketing Is also referred to as network marketing, and direct sales marketing. It involves person-to-person sales. It is similar but not the same as affiliate marketing.
