MLM acronym of the term multilevel marketing also known as network marketing is a hierarchical structure depicting a marketing strategy used by many companies worldwide. It is a strategy that creates a down line consisting of the distributors and so forming a hierarchical structure of compensation that compensates the promoters of any product of the company not just for the personal sales that they have achieved but for the sales of those promoters also whom they introduced to the company, thus forming a multilevel structure.

In multilevel marketing the company who manufactures the products is represented by the sales persons who are independent and unsalaried, these sales people represent the company in front of the customers and are referred to as distributors, the distributors are paid on the basis of the products they sell means they are on commission basis having a part of the sales they make. A distributor can work independently or can create a down line of his sales persons and would benefit from the sales he makes and also from the sales of his down line. The distributors make profit by purchasing the products at whole sale price and selling them at retail price more than the former. This is quite similar to the franchise system. You can also build an organization of distributors and it helps a lot if you a have fixed group of customers or have distributors in your down line that have regular customers. The sales people hired are not trained by the company instead have to be self trained to be competent.

Compensation to each distributor has to be paid depending upon the plan the company follows which may be a single level one in which you can have as many number of distributors on the first level but the number of levels is restricted to 5 or 6. Stair step breakaway plan depends on the maximum sales volume. A binary plan is very common in this you can have just two distributors at a level and like this every distributor can only have 2 down lines and both must be balance and thus depending on this the compensation is paid.

MLM has been criticized for its franchise approach as making distributors becomes a business itself and not the actual sales of the products to other customers are practiced.

There is myth that streams in marketing arena that when word “multilevel marketing” is heard fear runs in a persons mind that he/she has been scammed or is an element of a scam. This is due to negative image that has been formed over the years on multilevel marketing. This notoriety image is all due to some people that have made into this multilevel marketing system. There is a misconception between multilevel marketing and pyramiding scheme. The main difference between MLM and pyramiding scheme is that MLM is a legal business model while former one is scam. Talking in layman’s language MLM is highly community business model whose purpose is to remove the middle man and thus lowering the overhead cost so that at the end customer is not paying for operating cost, storefront’s, labor, utilities and even conventional advertising media. On the other hand pyramiding schemes consists of investment of your money and in return get huge sums of money, but in real it is just relocation of money from down line to up line.

The confusion is that pyramiding schemes camouflage themselves as legal multilevel marketing business. These schemes bring the same vocabulary and the process of building up into play on your network. In both of the business models you have to market your product, you have to create “marketing network” either you will be sponsored by your up line or you will sponsor down line. The main thing behind the scene is that multilevel marketing is a legitimate marketing business, as the commissions come from down line are just like bonus but the main part of your profit come from your hard work that results in good sales.

When you are entering the market MLM is relative easy thin to get in. you may get into the business with small amount, but its difficult business to survive in. On the brighter side it is flexible marketing environment. You can just stay at your place and still earn considerable amount. You need not be a graduate to do this but of course technical sense would surely be of great help to do well in MLM.
