Multi-level marketing is a system of retailing in which consumer products are sold by independent businessmen and women (distributors) usually in customers' homes. You can set your own hours and earn money based on your efforts and ability to sell consumer products or services supplied to you, the distributor, by an established multi-level marketing company.
The multi-level company also will encourage you to build and manage your own sales force by recruiting, motivating, supplying and training others to sell the products or services. A percentage based on the sales of your sales force would be your compensation, in addition to personal sales.
