MLM. You really don’t need to be afraid of Multi Level Marketing. I can offer you quality opportunities that will really work.
I work with 3 companies. One has been a UK business for 25 years. Another has been a global business for 16 years. One other has been a New Zealand business since 1984, and started in the UK in 2025.
MLM companies typically sell products or services. Many focus on household or lifestyle goods, often positioned as high quality or money-saving.
In MLM, you can earn referral-based income, usually when someone you refer buys products or joins with qualifying purchases. Earnings vary depending on the plan.
In MLM, your role is to recommend and sell products or services. You earn commissions on sales made directly by you or your team.
Instead of spending heavily on traditional advertising, MLM companies rely on word of mouth and pay commissions to distributors for referrals and sales.
Affiliate marketing is similar. You promote another company’s products and earn commission on sales. The difference is MLM also allows you to earn from a team you build. Team building is not an essential part of the business.
What This Business Model Really Is
Most multi-level marketing (MLM) companies sell real products or services. Instead of spending heavily on traditional advertising, they rely on word-of-mouth. Independent distributors recommend these products or services and earn commissions on the sales they generate.
In other words, you’re not paid simply to “refer” someone — you earn income when the person you refer purchases products/services or becomes a qualified customer or partner. Earnings vary depending on the company’s compensation plan, but commissions can build up over time as you grow your customer base.
Think of it like running your own small business under a large brand’s umbrella:
- You recommend and sell products or services you believe in.
- You earn a commission on your own sales.
- In many MLMs you can also build a team and earn a percentage of their sales.
This isn’t fundamentally different from other forms of performance-based marketing. Affiliate marketing works on a similar principle (you promote someone else’s products and get a commission on sales). The key distinction is that MLM adds a team-building element, whereas standard affiliate marketing usually pays only on your direct sales or clicks.
So, rather than paying for advertising space, an MLM company invests in people: they pay you, the independent distributor, for bringing in customers and building brand awareness.
