All MLM Multi-Level Marketing companies have different programs and methods of operation, although have similar theories in distribution. Most MLM companies have low costs to buying into the system, but not all. Many who do not understand MLM businesses assume that they have to buy merchandise wholesale and then resell it to make a profit. Now there are some MLM companies, which have done this in the past, but generally this is not how it works.

Many MLM companies only require that you buy $100 of products for yourself each month that you might normally buy anyway? Toothpaste, detergent, hair care products, vitamins, and I have been told by several MLM executives and consultants that they have as many or more products than Wal-Mart does in their paper and online catalogs. Many of the MLMs, which made people buy products in advance have been shut down or did not work so well. They fell into Biz Op categories and there are different laws on the books for those.

Some people have a very negative feeling about MLM or Multi-Level Marketing companies out of a misconception of how they work and why they work. Others believe in them like a cult or religion. From a free market standpoint, in theory they make a lot of sense. Whether or not you choose to become involved in an MLM business or not, you might be surprised how many people have in the past and will in the future in our population. The percentages are quite high indeed. Think on this in 2006.
