Building Your MLM Business Completely Online

Yes, it's possible. I used to do old school. Then I figured out how to do it completely online. It's harder with some networks, but easier with others. So finding the right network is key.

Agreed! It is exciting..

..hence companies like Empower Network are flourishing.

It's a MLM company however it does most of its sales online. Kinda like the best of both worlds..

It is an new evolution of MLM..

Still dubious. Not to say there aren't very successful people with Online MLM.
I know there are.

Still for the majority who enter this realm it's a losing proposition.

A crumbling downline is a crumbling downline...doesn't matter if its online MLM or traditonal offline MLM

The last man in loses. And don't give me some BS that he can still personally "retail" the Company's
Amazing Products LOL

I personally am a member of a couple, and getting ready for the third, but I ignore the MLM part and focus on the products they sell. I push the products on social media, along with a secondary link to join. Got over 100 combined in the "downline" with zero recruiting, not a ton, but a start and sell the @#$%@ out of the products.

i think you can get quality leads from Solo Ads ... and build business from there

instead of doing MLM business selling stuff, try selling "MLM traffic"

Online MLM is a little different than direct sales online. Either path you choose is great especially online. Most folks don't have success with the traditional belly to belly stuff. There are a bunch of online systems that really make it simple for the new person to get started once they learn some basic IM skills.

No matter what business one focuses on... leads are the life blood. Getting your opportunity in front the right amount of people EVERYDAY is key.

why is MLM associated with internet marketing??

its a pyramid scheme, plain and simple..

i dont enjoy being lumped in with the MLM crowd.

if you're starting MLM, please reconsider..

you can make money online ethically

It doesn't matter if you are promoting MLM Online, selling CB products or even E books. If you're looking for extraordinary results to the point of making a your 'breakthrough', it's not easy. But it's possible.

However having said all this...

I would say that 95% (or more) will still fail (due to 'mindset' issues, lack of education, no plan and not enough action).

What if your MLM sold no products, had no fees, ever, and was willing to pay millions to their members just to watch advertising. That way the Active members, the one who promote and participate in the program really don't need to concern themselves if their down-lines were crumbling. It's free so it's easy to fill up again.

It's not very hard to promote something that will always be free.

It's been my position all along that "most" not all MLM's only offer training as a product with ever increasing monthly fees, to encourage their down-lines to recruit more people who in turn try and recruit more and more people. That is the type of MLM that you will find the crumbling down-lines in.

“Determination is the key ingredient for every entrepreneur.”

At some point in your life you’ve been pitched a multi-level marketing (MLM), direct selling, or network marketing business opportunity. While the pitch varies from company to company, it basically promises a chance to ditch your 9-5 work schedule, be your own boss, and make lots of money while making new friends in the process.

you don't know what MLM is....

after $600K+ generated from online businesses, I can say internet is => "The Real BEAST"

YES you can live by getting passive income from the internet

Bugger me. When I saw that I thought it was one of those old threads that have somehow been put on page 1.

I made up to £17000 a month (about $22,300) from network marketing back in the early 90s.

Back then, there were folks like me who refined pitching to business people and then there were the majority who simply irritated their family members and friends until they were never invited anywhere again. Ever.

These days just replace the word irritating to spamming and you can instantlysee the difference that the internet has made.

i kinda like MLM n like to bring offline n online method all together.. that's the only way to do it quickly I think. PUre online, not all people are comfortable buying n joining somebody that's not real, but for lower ticket items MLM, it's OK I think to do it full online (lower than $100 a month)

A true MLM Company Starts with a Great Premium Quality Product or Service, everything else comes secondary. If you are in a company that strictly pushed the recruitment of others in order to make profit that is not a legit MLM company. Once you find a company with quality product you get to work selling that product or service, everything else is all designed to ultimately sell the product at a faster rate.

Just to clear the air there alot of wanna be "MLM" companies. But at the same time there are plenty of Legacy MLM companies that have been practicing good Business for more than 20+ years. There is no other business model that allows you to start your own business for less than $100. The bottom line with anything in life is you Reap what you sow.

Definition of MLM
MLM Or Multi-level Marketing is a unique form of distributing products and services. Instead of using a regular distribution channel, MLM companies sell their products and services directly to consumers. That's why it's also called Direct Selling. When these consumers or customers like these products and services, naturally they start sharing it with others. MLM companies pay you when people buy their products and services from your recommendation. You also have the ability to build a team of Distributors, generally consisting of happy consumers recommended by you and those you recommend and those they recommend and so on. Opposite to common belief, you are not paid to recruit people, you are paid depending on the total sales volume achieved from your entire team. Instead of wasting money on advertisements, MLM companies reward their consumers and distributors for their word-of-mouth advertisement efforts.

IMO the internet has created opportunity for almost any/every industry to perform online (or even exclusively online)

Well I've seen rather clueless statements in this thread calling MLM a scam, pyramid or fairy tale. Here is a list showing well-established network marketing companies & their revenues from last year.

2016 DSN Global 100 List — Direct Selling News

They don't reach these revenue volumes from being a fairy tale but providing quality products that people purchase to use (distributors & customers).

You can also take a peak at some of the videos from an industry trainer which includes interviews with Tony Robbins, Les Brown, Richard Branson, Robert Kiyosaki & others. https://www.youtube.com/user/ericwor...ow=grid&sort=p

Now I haven't really been heavily active in MLM since back around 2000 when I was a National Sales Director for a health product company which merged with another. However a few years back my wife became involved with a company selling body wrap, nutritional & cosmetics. The products are high quality & fairly priced plus has an attractive loyal customer program.

Here's what happened - people wanted to try the products & ordered them. They became "tied" into the distributor (my wife) so that every order from then on she gets paid commissions. Some customers later became distributors & some people decided to become distributors right of the bat. Basically thru one person who became a distributor her business has developed into thousand$ of monthly product sales. With MLM (network marketing) you can get rewarded financially month after month for the connections you made as well on their efforts throughout your organization. Leverage is how you can compound your income. You never know who in your organization will grab the bull by the horns which will provide you residual financial rewards.

Here is what happens in affiliate marketing typically. You send a merchant a customer who orders a product & you get paid a commission. When customers reorder products from the merchant... you receive nothing. Of course there are exceptions in lifetime commission affiliate programs. Here's another fact that we all know happens. Let's say you send a Clickbank merchant a customer which you get paid a commission. Soon after this Clickbank merchant is pitching the customer you brought to the table other merchant products using their own affiliate link. This doesn't happen in MLM companies as trust between distributors & the company would be instantly demolished.

Personally I have considered launching a MLM company but don't really want the responsibility. Domain name sales & affiliate product sales is my current main income. One thing that I do see within MLM companies is that many don't have websites for distributors that make the customer purchase pitch as their prime focus. I also dislike it when companies charge distributors monthly fees to have a website & for back office access (stats, organization info, etc.). There is room for improvement regarding these matters in the industry. I do understand though that MLM software is drastically more expensive than affiliate scripts.

So anyway - I recommend ignoring people who scream out scam, fairy tale or pyramid as they really don't know what they are talking about & lack experience. Yes - there are questionable companies that use an MLM compensation structure. When looking at an MLM - ask yourself if you or others that you know would purchase the product if there wasn't any money to be earned. If yes then consider becoming a distributor to share the products & opportunity with others. People join companies to buy products they want (customer or distributor) and/or because they desire to build an extra income. They also will join or order "because they want to do business with you". If you're an asshole, then MLM isn't for you.

Here's the difference:

#1 There is a product. The owners want help with sales. They recruit independent "distributors" and reward them for recruiting others.

#2 A "compensation plan" is created. Then a product is found or created to meet the legal requirements.

Some products from MLM's I've participated in over the years:

Candy - It was good candy.

Magnets- For health benefits.

Postcards - The stamped kind.

Stamps - Just regular stamps.

Gold coins - I think I still have some somewhere...



I've tested many since the 80s and when you look at the big picture, MLM still stands for Most Lose Money.

hi all...since this is a MLM thread

would you like to share the MLM script that you used to build a large networking site ?

I don't know why you guys are fighting over what kind of work you both do, because the things each of you guys do is equally bad.

aizaku based on your sig website, your approach is no different than MLMers trying to sell their sub-par products in real life. The only difference is you are promoting crappy affiliate products. I agree with you on the MLM parts of your arguments though.

Which brings me to Tsnyder. I've seen him around for years. He's the champion hero for MLM and he's been at it for years. I remember seeing his MLM blog awhile back that died out (not that it was popular or anything). Now his sig link is pointed at a dead facebook group. If you're so good at what you do, why can't you keep a following active for more than a few months?

Judging from all the arrogant responses you make (none of which actually explain why anyone is wrong about MLM. Just that they don't know anything...) you would think you would have a hoard of people wanting to follow everything you say and become the next big thing in MLM right? Oh wait...

Tsynder is or was apart of some type of flower / or giftcard MLM company. I don't know how well that's treating him if he has to spend all his time coaching new students to bring in "a steady stream of $1000 a month"... which is the perfect example of an average MLMer...Work your ass off for peanuts.

I understand why both of you want to defend your way of making money. That's all both of you really know. More power to you if both of you can make it work, but don't act like what both of you do isn't shady in some way or another.

As for everyone else reading this thread... There is a big lesson to be learned here from these two arguing.

Spend your time building a real business that YOU own. You don't want to be another warrior trying to build an email list selling crappy affiliate products to people for money. And you don't want to be that guy who starts doing MLM for 15+ years building a business for someone else with nothing to show for it at the end.

can you list down 10 best MLM to join ?

what is the best MLM to join now ?

and any ebook or coaching or webinars that is good for MLM nowdays ?

is there any good mlm script available online ?

I think most of the major MLM company's offer online integration as standard these days. I remember in the mid to late 1990's when Amway went online as Quixtar. I could be wrong but I think they were one of the first MLM company's to do this.

Interesting to note is I know of one Amway rep back then who did lousy building exclusively through his warm market, but went online and his organization exploded almost right away.

so the final verdict is MLM bad ?

which MLM is considered ok nowdays to join bro ?

I think MLM is good...if YOU are the wealth pharaoh sitting on top of the pyramid hehe

I am with several MLM companies in the one niche area and do it 100% online. I have been doing it for over 4 years and have built myself a comfortable lifestyle. It is a great low cost way to grow a business if you have commitment

Yes, This is possible to build a MLM business in online, Which is well known as referral sites. You can create membership areas and various of scripts are available for creating those sites. But MLM sites are prohibited on some countries so be careful starting any business.

You can't become a leader in network marketing and build a huge downline without using the telephone. The internet should only be used as a tool to prospect and generate leads for your business. If you're going to build a business online why not just get into affiliate marketing? Or e-commerce?
