avoiding opportunity MLM stands for multi-level marketing. This type of home business opportunity is
based on the very powerful idea of building a strong network of customers and
product distributors and earning commissions on the buying and selling activity of
everyone in this network.
For example you will find customers to buy your products, and distributors to help
you sell your products. Obviously you will profit when your own customers buy,
but you’ll also get paid when the distributors you refer make sales!
This business model relies on interpersonal network building to move product
from the manufacturer to the end user. For this reason MLM is also referred to as
network marketing, and these terms will be interchanged within this report.
MLM can be traced back to the 1940's, when a company called Nutrilite began
distributing vitamin products and health supplements via network building. It is
worth mentioning that the founders of the original Nutrilite company were also
involved in the founding of the vitamin/health supplement industry in the 1920s. It
is therefore far from coincidence that so many networking opportunities focus on
wellness products.
