A List of MLM Companies - The Top 5 Reviews

There are a lot of hard working people in MLM Home Based Businesses that are being taught that the only reason they can't make it in this business is because they aren't working hard enough. This is as far from the truth as you can get. Times have changed and marketing has changed. The best way to make it in this industry is to educate yourself in the newest Internet Marketing strategies. You have to do this on your own because your company will not teach it to you. 1. AmwayRobert DeVos founded Amway Corp. in 1959 with his friend and business partner, The late Jay Van Andel. Amway now operates in more than 80 countries and territories around the world, enabling over 3 million people to own independent businesses.According to Amway their business model is based on the Amway Business Owner Compensation Plan - a low-risk, low-cost business opportunity that is open to everyone. With an AMWAY business you are rewarded for for selling their products and for sponsoring others who do the same. As your business grows, so do your rewards. They promote Amway parties that are very time consuming and costly compared to the income being generated, especially for beginners. 2. AvonIn 1886 David H. McConnel started a business called California Perfume Company. The company name was later changed to Avon. Avon, the company for women, is the world's leading direct seller of beauty products with over $10 billion in annual revenues.Avon product lines include such recognizable brand names as Avon Color, Anew, Skin-So-Soft, Avon Solutions, Advance Techniques Hair Care, Avon Naturals, Mark, and Avon Wellness. Avon also markets an extensive line of fashion jewelry and apparel. Avon appears to be one of the more difficult MLM companies to make money with. There is an Avon lady in every neighborhood, and they have to sell a ton of products to make any money. Because of this, it is getting more difficult for associates to recruit others into their business.3. Mary KayIn 1963 Mary Kay Ash, with help from her son, Richard, created Beauty by Mary Kay, the first company dedicated to making life more beautiful for women. Since opening its first international venture in Australia in 1971, Mary Kay Inc. has expanded to more than 30 markets on five continents, with over 1.8 million independent sales associates.For $100 dollars (plus shipping and tax) You can get a start up kit that includes how-to tips and enough products and samples to share with 30 of your friends at parties. The compensation and benefits sound good at 50% sales commission but very few consultants ever make it. To make it work you have to devote at least the equivalent time as you would a full time job.4. HerbalifeHerbalife was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes. Mark launched his company by working as the first distributor selling the nutritional product. Their products promote living a healthy lifestyle by offering you vitamins. minerals, and the essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, along with fitness tips and recipes.Starting a home based business with Herbalife can be a pretty easy start up and does appear to offer a good compensation plan. Recruit! Recruit! Recruit! is the only way to make a living in this company. Once your at the top the money doesn't stop flowing, but getting there is the hard part. Herbalife promotes the old school marketing methods and you would be hard pressed to find an upline leader that teaches any of the new internet marketing strategies.5.Nu SkinNu Skin was "Founded in 1984 with a commitment to providing quality skin care that features only premium, wholesome ingredients, Nu Skin remains true to this "all of the good, none of the bad" heritage today, developing innovative products that support the health and longevity of skin and hair." -NuSkin web site.Over the years they have changed their name more than any other MLM company with new divisions: Pharmanex, Big Planet and Photomax. It has been reported that close to half of Nu Skin Revenue comes from Asia. Nu Skin Home Based Business opportunity offers two ways to generate income, direct sales and recruiting others into the business to build a team. There are those that have climbed to the top of this MLM company and are set for life financially,but it takes nothing short of 100% dedication to make it in this company. Like the other 4 reviewed in this article, they promote old school marketing tactics that don't work as well as the did 20 years ago.All 5 of the companies mentioned above would be excellent home based businesses for anybody looking for a business opportunity. A good marketing strategy could put you at the top of any of these companies in a short time. But without it you will probably never get it off the ground.
