It’s funny you mentioned the MLM. I was thinking about these MLM few days back and how this business model is old and have not been updated with all the digital stuff going on.
I was actually thinking to create a similar model for some niche but make it more or 2021 and beyond and online or something.
MLM does not fit with the affiliate type of business model as I think it will be hard to track, because MLM as the name says: multi level marketing, is that one person try to recruit others to sell what he or she is selling, think about Avon or Mary Kay or Tupperware ... these are called distributors, they sell to consumers and Avon or Mary Kay ships the product and the distributor gets a commission, plus if this distributor recruit another one that also sells to consumers she or he will get a commission from what other distributor sold, so it’s multi levels, so how do you track those? Avon for example should offer affiliates offers but they don’t because the distributors are doing the job.
