MLM: The Bad, The Ugly, and The Deceptive
Word Count: 368
What is MLM?
Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy where the primary source of income and revenue is driven by recruiting new members rather than selling products. The focus is on expanding the network.
Are Multi-Level Marketing and Network Marketing the Same?
Essentially, yes. MLM has garnered a negative reputation, so the term isn't used as often today. There's a subtle difference; network marketing companies require distributors to sell a certain amount of product in addition to bringing in new recruits.
How Does MLM Work?
A person starts by offering a product and recruits ten others to sell it. These ten then recruit ten more each. A portion of the sales is passed back up the chain. This continues, forming a pyramid. The cycle?"10, 100, 1,000, and so on?"quickly leads to market saturation. Yet, companies persist in recruiting and collecting fees from hopeful sellers of their "amazing" product.
Does Anyone Make Money?
The original recruiter and their immediate recruits might profit, but that's typically the extent of it. Subsequent participants often face financial loss.
What’s Wrong with MLM?
1. No control or awareness of market saturation.
2. Initial investments often lead to losses.
3. It erodes self-confidence by offering false hopes.
4. Promoters frequently use deception to recruit.
5. It's inherently fraudulent.
Why Does MLM Persist?
The allure of wealth from a small investment lures people in. MLM presentations are convincing, as that's how these companies thrive. Those involved often excel at spinning tales, perhaps even believing them themselves.
