What is an MLM?

MLM stands for multi-level marketing. Multi-level marketing comes under a lot of fire. It refers to the direct selling of a product to earn a commission and also earning additional money from recruiting new members. These types of 'jobs' are franchise opportunities.

The 'job' may require a start-up fee, the earnings could be based on commission or you wouldn't strictly be 'working from home' in the sense that you won't sit on the sofa in your PJs the whole time, you may be required to host parties or deliver catalogues for instance.

All these positions offer flexible hours and days. You also get full training in most.

 

Which MLM Company is the Best to Join?

It depends on your schedule really and what you think you have the most passion to sell. Choose a company that sells something you believe in and that you believe you can get customers for.  Here's a list of the top 20 UK based MLM companies for you to take a look at...

What is the best MLM company in UK?

With Avon being the most popular, and most widely known, it is often considered the best, but it really is down to what best suits you! 

Are MLM Based Business Worth It?

In my opinion, No!

The products are usually over-priced for starters, simply by shopping online to find deals and looking around you can get equally good products for half the price online.

The problem is how you are seen in the eyes of the people you approach. You will be targeting your friends and family. You will inevitably get some sympathy purchases but you will soon be seen as a pest.

You will find people starting to avoid you and they won’t pick up the phone in case you’re wanting them to sell them something. There's also the temptation to bombard your Facebook friends with your products, or to try to get them to become a rep, so you can earn that all-important referral commission – you will likely be unfriended pretty sharpish.
