Multi-level Marketing, also known as "network" or "matrix" marketing, are a way of selling goods or services through distributors. These plans typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you will receive commissions -- for both your sales of the plan's goods or services and those of other people you recruit to join the distributors. Multi-level marketing plans usually promise to pay commissions through two or more levels of recruits, known as the distributor's "downline." If a plan offers to pay commissions for recruiting new distributors, watch out! Most states outlaw this practice, which is known as "pyramiding." State laws against pyramiding say that a multi-level marketing plan should only pay commissions for retail sales of goods or services, not for recruiting new distributors. Our list below is made up of what we believe to be credible associations. However, we cannot tell you whether a particular multi-level marketing plan is legal or honest. Nor can we give you advice about whether to join such a plan. You must make that decision yourself. We suggest that you use common sense, and consider these seven tips when you make your decision:
