What is MLM?

So just what is MLM, you ask? Those three letters stand for multi-level marketing. It is the process of getting paid for using products that you like and recommending them to others. Then, you find others who want to do the same.

It is a way of moving products and building a team under you who also uses and sells the products. Contrary to popular belief, MLM is not illegal and it is not a pyramid scheme. It is simply another way to move products other than through retail stores.

When you introduce this concept to others, you can eventually build a large team. Your team members follow suite, and a large income can result. In fact, many people make a handsome living from this business model. Six-figure incomes are fairly common.

The thing to remember is that this takes time. You should expect to exert a lot of effort for a couple of years before you see much of a profit. This business is no different than other businesses as far as taking time to build.

No one has a customer base overnight or recruits dozens of team members within a few days. The only exception is if the person was involved in multi-level marketing previously and brings their customer base and team members with them.

The great thing about this business is that you work on it whenever you want, put as much time into it as you want, and you are able to work from home. It is also great that you have no boss telling you what to do. You answer to no one but yourself.

There will be those who scoff at your attempt for a better life in MLM. Friends and family may think you are being foolish. Don't listen to them. They may never understand the power of this business, and that is okay. It is not for everyone. What they don't realize is that it is possible to make as much money as a doctor or lawyer, without the years of schooling.

You must learn and study the business to be successful, but you will not be spending the amount of money required for medical or law school. You will also never have to work
the number of hours that professionals do; nor will you be exchanging your time for money.

In other words, you will eventually be earning residual income. This is ongoing income for work that you did one time. Very few people in the normal work world earn this type of income.

It is possible to build your business for several years, and then walk away. The income will continue due to the efforts of your downline. Your satisfied customers will continue to re-order the product without any prompting from you.

What is MLM? It is a very lucrative income source for those who put in the time and effort. It is a business that you can run just as easily in the middle of the night as you can any other time of day. With the right tools and training, you can build it as big as you want.
