Over the years there have been numerous multi-level marketing (MLM) organizations that have been established. Some of these are legitimate business organizations and others have masqueraded as appearing to be a MLM business, but took advantage of people when they were attempting to get ahead in their lives. As a result MLM law was established to not only protect people, but also the legitimate MLM organizations. MLM organizations are those organizations that market their products or services directly to consumers using distributors. These distributors sell the products or services through various marketing techniques, such as door-to-door, catalog sales, party planning, website sales, and recruitment of other individuals interested in becoming part of the MLM business. There are several successful MLM organizations that follow MLM law and as a result have been in business for numerous years. Most legitimate MLM businesses operate similar from one to the next, with the only difference being in the products or services being offered for sale. MLM law is based on the concept that all distributors have the option of recruiting new distributers, which become their down line.

And each new distributer can recruit people under them. Where a person can become successful is when they have a large down line beneath them, because the distributer becomes eligible for sales commissions from all the sales that are made by their recruits and a portion from other recruits made from their down line. MLM law was established to prevent pyramid schemes and illegitimate MLM businesses from taking advantage of unsuspecting people. When people are desperate to turn their lives around, they often will look for ways to earn money quickly through get rich opportunities and this is where pyramid schemes prey upon these individuals. While these illegitimate MLM businesses may appear to be legal, MLM law distinctly notes some differences between legitimate MLM organizations and these other organizations that are running a scheme. One of the warning signs is when a recruiter says they get paid for the number and amount of people in their down line and not a sales commission based upon actual sales. Another warning sign is when these organizations want a person to purchase large inventories of product that they will never be able to sell or move in a reasonable amount of time.

A legitimate MLM organization that follows MLM law will never require distributors to carry large inventories of products, nor will they pay distributors based upon the number of people in their down line. There are several successful MLM organizations that have helped people turn their lives around and become rather successful, and at the least have provided the opportunity for decent people to earn a little extra income. When considering joining an MLM organization, it can be difficult to find out if the organization follows MLM law and is legitimate.
