What Is Multilevel Marketing (MLM)? Multi Level marketing (MLM) is a strategy some direct sales companies use to encourage existing distributors to recruit new distributors who are paid a percentage of their recruits' sales. The recruits are the distributor's "downline." Distributors also make money through direct sales of products to customers. Amway, which sells health, beauty, and home care products, is an example of a well-known direct sales company that uses multi level marketing. Multilevel marketing is a legitimate business strategy, though it is controversial. They said MLM is Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy! (Woohoo!) They said you can have uncapped residual income (Oooh, I'll have some of that, please!) They said it is location-independent (..and a large slice of that...) They said all you need is 15 minutes a day (Include me in, sister!) They said the products sell themselves (Hallelujah!) They said it is low risk - high reward (Praise the Lord!) They never said what it actually means to be an MLM consultant (Sigh) In this memoir, the author shines a forensic light into the shadowy corners of the MLM experience in search of what it truly means to 'Work from your phone.' Hold your breath as the author chases after the white rabbit of Multi-Level-Marketing, to an entrepreneurial Wonderland where the new 'normal' features 3-way calls with strangers, freely divulging your credit card details as if cyber-scamming didn't exist, never understanding what you're supposed to do, mastering the non-culinarily art of peeling the MLM onion, spending your life on social media, and becoming an absent wife and mother.
