Understanding Multi-Level Marketing
Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a business model that primarily involves selling products directly to consumers while also recruiting others to join the business. The true income potential often lies not in the sales of products, but in the recruitment of new participants, creating a pyramid-like structure. At the top, early joiners and high earners benefit significantly, while the majority at the bottom struggle to make any profit. Studies indicate that over 99% of those involved in MLMs actually lose money, raising concerns about the sustainability and ethics of such business practices.
