What is MLM Stand for?

MLM stands for multi level marketing..sometimes also known as ponzi schemes. usually involves paying money several levels deep and trying to recruit people to do the same...generally scams and the only people that usually make any money are the ones at the top of the MLM pyramid

Multi-level marketing (MLM), sometimes called Network Marketing (NM) is a business model which utilizes a combination of Direct Marketing and Franchising. Typically, individuals become associated with a parent company in an independent contractor relationship. Sellers are compensated based on their sales of a product or service, as well as the sales of those they bring into the business. Multi-level marketing has a recognized image problem because of difficulties in making a clear distinction between legitimate network marketing and illegal pyramid schemes or Ponzi schemes.. Nonetheless, many NM/MLM businesses operate legitimately in all fifty U.S. states and more than 100 foreign countries. Because of this image problem many new NM/MLM businesses do not use the words "multi-level marketing" or "network marketing" and instead use terms like "affiliate marketing," "home-based business franchising," etc. In a legitimate MLM company, commissions are only earned on the sale of products or services to the end consumer who, in many cases, is also a distributor. No money may be earned on a "sign up fee" or for recruiting alone. Critics contend that some companies produce revenue primarily by attracting new participants, as opposed to selling products. Analysis of the compensation plan is often required to determine whether participants are paid based on actual sales of products to customers versus new recruit bonuses and sales of business support materials. A major shift in MLM occurred during the 1980s when companies began allowing their members to focus solely on marketing rather than handling the tasks of stocking/distributing products as well as taking care of commission payments to their sales organizations. Today, most MLM companies act as fulfillment companies by taking orders, shipping products, calculating and paying commissions, etc. Often, victims of fraudulent or illegal MLM schemes are required to purchase expensive inventories of products. These schemes are often quick to collapse, when the merchandise cannot be resold, leaving all but those at the top of the pyramid with sometimes staggering financial losses. I hope that this information is enough for u.
