Your network marketing company is a traditional company (scams are the exception) with all the traditional business costs and expenses with the exception of one thing:

They have NO budget for advertising.

Instead they pay us, as distributors, traditionally via word of mouth, to sell their products.

Instead of buying millions of dollars of advertisements on TV, radio, newspapers they pay us, through their compensation plan, to promote for them.

For them, it's a good deal. They choose to pay only the methods (people) who are bringing in the sales.

So they next time you are confused about what your role is or what you should be doing to make some money in your MLM think of yourself as an advertisement on TV, radio, billboards or the newspaper: getting your message out to a large audience.

You are your company's advertisements and you'll get paid for it, if you do it !

So which are you most like: TV? (YouTube), Billboards? (Banner ads) Radio? (Podcasts) Newspaper? (Blogging) Word of mouth? (Social media) Choose one and then tell us what's your plan to be the best ad you can be?

That is so true, Joyce!
We advertise for the company we represent. The only difference is that we are putting our faces out in the public and branding ourselves in the market place. We want our customers to trust us and buy from us on what we are promoting. We recommend their products and we get paid for it.
I don't know what product sells themselves without some introduction from some company representative or affliate.
Advertising does costs a lot for the companies involved. Sharing that costs is worth for the company to pay others to do their advertising and employ more people in in-direct sales.
At the same time, the companies do have employee issues when paying commissions.
In a perfect world, the company profits, the affliate profits, and everybody is happy!

Joyce,

Good analysis. I would be in the blogging section. (Sounds like a weight loss group. )

I like to write and enjoy sharing my writing with others.
