WHAT IS NETWORK MARKETING OR DIRECT SELLING OR
MLM?
Definition Of Network Marketing
Network Marketing or Multilevel marketing ( MLM ) is a business strategy where you build a  
network of people to sell products or services of a company. As your network of people 
grows your  commissions also increases simultaneously.
Concept Of MLM or Network Marketing
The Direct selling business or MLM operates between two groups:
1. A brand/product company (ex. Amway, Oriflame, ModiCare…)
2. A distributor or individual growing network to promote the products 
of that  Brand/company.
Network Marketing or Direct selling business is a WIN-WIN situation for both the BRAND 
(whose  products are sold) and the INDIVIDUAL (who is marketing the products). The 
company or brand  whose products are sold gets revenue from the product sold, and the 
person marketing the product  gets a commission for each product.
In this business, as your network grows your commissions also increase. So in
Network Marketing or MLM, the focus of anew recruit should be to use the products and
then decide if the product is worth distributions or not. To grow in Network Marketing
Business you should first have belief and faith in your companies products. If you don’t
believe in the product why should anyone else do?
In Conclusion, Network marketing or MLM is a good opportunity to earn money part-
time or full  time by networking with people and explaining to them all the features of both 
BUSINESS and  PRODUCTS.
Is Network Marketing or MLM legal in India?
Network Marketing or MLM is 100% legal in India.
There are many terms used for network marketing like Multilevel Marketing(MLM), Referral 
marketing, Direct Selling, Pyramid Selling, and Chain Marketing. Due to the recent 
scams and  frauds in India like Shardha Group Financial scandal, people judge this business 
in India and have a  negative impression about the business. About 99% of people in India 
don’t have proper knowledge  about the MLM business. The negative reviews are mostly 
from people who have NOT done this  business or have heard of someone being
unsuccessful.
There are companies/brands doing this business just for money. They take joining fees, 
registration  fees, etc. Well, those are all frauds and scandals.

form. That’s  just another TRAP.
