Multi-level marketing, also known as 'network marketing', 'referral marketing', and 'pyramid selling', is a system in which participants sell products and are compensated for not only what they themselves sell, but also from sales by other people they recruit (known as a 'downline'). Supporters of MLMs claim they have many benefits of "working from home", and allow their participants to recruit others so that they can make money the same as the people already in on the system, and give prospective participants opportunities to start their own business. Critics compare them to pyramid schemes, claim that participants lose money on such systems, criticize the high prices of products, among others.
Common MLMs include Amway/Alticor/Quixtar (company of failed 2006 Michigan gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos), Avon, Mary Kay, MonaVie (a company selling acai-blend juices for $45/bottle, in which a friend of mine I graduated high school with almost tricked me into participating-also another top participant in this went to the same high school I did.), and XanGo (another health/juice company).
Discuss here what you think of such marketing systems and whether you were affected in any way by any of them.
