Multilevel marketing (also called network marketing), describes systems in which companies contract with individuals to sell a set of products door to door or office to office. It is called multilevel because a contractor can also invite others to work and earn money on their performance.

MLM is a sales system under which the salesperson receives a commission on his or her own sales and a smaller commission on the sales from each person he or she convinces to become a salesperson.

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participant's "downline", and can provide multiple levels of compensation.

Thank you for your invite. MLM is a marketing model where products are sold through direct marketing by independent  sales persons who work on free lance basis. They are not on the payroll of the company who's products they sell. They are paid commission on the sales made by them also under MLM model they are expected to enroll more sales person under their team and are entitled for commission on the sales made by the sales person enrolled by them. This marketing model is followed by Amway and World Book Encyclopedia that I am very well aware of.
