The best network marketing companies. Network marketing: companies in Russia - list

Wow, this has turned into the most popular MLM article on the Internet, with over 1 million views!

Here are the top 25 companies according to Business For Home based on trends and your ability to make money in 2017:

# 25. Empower Network

Back in 2013, co-founders Dave Wood and Dave Sharp looked like Tupac. Empower Network had a cult following and their message was unapologetic: "Don't be a damn wussy and buy all the products."

Somewhere along the way they stopped updating their original digital products and the vision was lost.

These days, you can hop on a random Empower Network webinar and still see Dave Wood spitting knowledge from his mansion in Costa Rica. All the original leaders are gone except Lawrence Tam and Tracy Walker, but Dave Wood is never reckoned with.

# 24. World Ventures

World Ventures makes the list to make network marketing look "fun." The vacation membership company is targeting millennials with a slick campaign that shows people posting travel photos with the captions, "You should be here."

No other MLM has come close to nailing the junior market minus Wake Up Now and Vemma, both of which left in 2015. Maybe a bad sign? However, you would think that more MLMs would catch on to Instagram-focused campaigns. Calm or not, it seems to be working.

# 23. Wealthy Affiliate

Ask any wealthy affiliate member if they are an MLM and they will probably scold you.

While not technically an MLM, Wealthy Affiliate offers hosting and a robust digital product line that compares itself to other MLM digital product companies (see Digital Altitude, Tecademics, MOBE, MLSP, Empower Network).

Give them credit though... they are still one of the largest digital communities in 2017.

# 22. Nerium

Nerium slipped.

It seemed like a nasty lawsuit was dividing the company (1), but they were still hanging around as one of the best skin care options in network marketing.

They have badges to prove their worth: Inc. 500, DSA membership and some sponsorships.

# 21. Usana

Usana makes the list by pure numbers ($918 million in revenue in 2015) (2).

Their forecast doesn't look very good, but they don't tank.

However, they have been voted one of the "50 Best Places to Work" and they have collaborated with the controversial but iconic Dr.Oz. Think about what you like about Dr.Oz, but it's actually a humble endorsement in network marketing.

#20. Cosmetics Mary Kay

I know, go to the fifty-fifty-year-old auntie right now. For half a century, Mary Kay has dominated the beauty world, and they are still considered visionaries. What other 50-year-old beauty business won Best Website and Best Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube? (3)

And they don't just "hang on", either.

They sold $4 billion in 2014 (4) and their worldwide sales topped the 3.5 million mark. They remain one of the largest direct sellers of skincare and cosmetics products, no small win for this cutthroat industry driven by fickle consumers.

# 19. Nu Skin

Where there are Mary Kay and Amway, Nu's skin easily turns the club into a billion dollars. With annual sales of over $2 billion, they are top list candidates and they are a clear network of network marketing veterans.

However, they are not as hot as they were 5 years ago, and it is hard to say whether they will be on this list in 5 years. They donate a lot of money to charity, but they've had their share of scandal and affairs, so it's hard to say what their image is these days.

One thing I know is that I have never met anyone under 30 who promotes Nu Skin and I lived down the street from them for 5 years.

# 18. Avon

The only MLM that can rival Amway's fortune, fame and size is Avon. With over 6 billion in revenue in 2015 and worldwide recognition, they are already in the MLM hall of fame.

Although they slide. Revenue is falling in North America and their sales force is being cut. Revenue declined 19% in 2013 and 7% in Mexico. Skip forward to July 2015 and revenue still continues to decline, with a 17% drop (5). Analysts blame Avon for failing to maintain a strong identity for its products as well as a strong dollar. Lesson: Always reinvent yourself.

# 17. Arbonne

With three decades of selling skin care products, Arbonne will soon be up there with Mary Kay in terms of ancient relics that still press lotions.

A huge success here, with annual sales exceeding $502 million. However, as with Nu Skin, trends will show that they are past their glory days.

Their science is tight, their management is blue chip, and their products are constantly updated and updated for new generations. Arbonne represents the best of what other MLM sciences should hope to be. Lock for cosmetic companies.

#16. Herbalife

Rest of the world: Hello, how are you?

Herbalife: NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Herbalife is massive. Top 5 income? All day. Top 5 in brand awareness? Probably top 3.

However, Herbalife has been universally criticized by the media (their fault or not? Doesn't matter, still hurts them) and have become almost synonymous with "pyramid scheme".

Good news: They recently settled with the FTC and agreed to pay $200 million to former distributors. Probably not a good look, but that didn't stop the students from continuing to stay with them.

# 15. Beachbody

You've probably heard of P90X and Insanity training, right? These gloriously sweaty workout DVDs are sold through network marketing thanks to BeachBody.

Beachbody is honored for its high revenue and massive acceptance of its products. Both are testaments to what MLMs can be: a Great Products-First-And-The-Money-Will-Follow company.

# 14. Scentsy

Lifeless, scented candles explode, if your big sister hasn't already told you so. The product is innovative. Flameless candles. It's simple: people love their products.

Idaho-based Meridian competes with doTERRA for the top word-of-mouth marketing award (and perhaps most likely for the spam award from your Facebook timeline), but their annual sales are $537 million. They are one of the few companies I would bet on in about 15 years.

# 13. Pampered Chef

Will high-tech kitchen gadgets get hot? Chef's Pampered Products were made to be sold at house parties, which is why this company is still putting the numbers together.

Unofficial Assistant Chef for Recruitment:

Step 1: Invite your friends to come and watch Scandal

Step 2: Ask them to watch the presentation later and pull out their credit cards

Just kidding, I guess. They were super hot, but they cooled down. The Berkshire-Hathaway facility was recently profiled for lower earnings and job layoffs.

# 12. Forever Living

Forever Living probably deserves a spot because of its long-term commitment to the aloe vera plant and products made from it. Aloe vera is hot right now.

Rarely do you see a plant rise steadily over the years. It screams longevity over hundreds of other full service companies. Founded in 1978, they have made the Forbes 400, Inc. 500 and $2.6 billion in revenue.

# 11. Isagenix

Search trends show Isagenix neck and neck with Advocare, so they're buzzing nicely these days.

They are still one of the hottest network marketing companies out there, although I'm not sure what sets them apart from all the other nutri-MLMs out there. They don't have sponsors like Advocare, but maybe that could be used to say they pay distributors more?

Overwhelmingly positive product reviews on Amazon, a solid sales pipeline, and strong sales make this a top 15 lock for 2017.

# 10. Amway

If all that mattered were revenue numbers, Amway was #1 or #2 (behind Avon).

What a curious move they had. Amway is so universally accepted that it has become a household word and a joke ponzi scheme at the same time. It's hard to get away with it. However, you can't deny winning numbers like 9.5 billion dollars (8) and 3 million distributors. Or call NBA arena rights.

Brand potential for Amway? Aaron Gordon is blossoming on poor men Blake Griffen, and the Amway Center is getting more runs on TNT and ESPN. That is all I have.

# 9. Global Wor(l)d Network

Wor(l)d Global Network is burning hot and they are pushing the wearable technology trend. I'm not crazy, but this is really great.

I don't know what will happen to them in 5 years, but they are hot right now. Their latest release is a health tracking and disease management bracelet called .

They've also generated $157 million in revenue, and they're just getting started. This is an innovation, these technologies will be used in all smartphones in 5 years.

# 8. Ambit Energy

Ambit has amazed the Inc 5000 for 3 years in a row and they seem to continue to trend. They promise lower fixed prices for natural gas and electric services, so they are decidedly less sexy than most of the network companies on this list. And that's probably why they thrive. No glitz and glamour, just practical savings.

# 7. Young Living

The essential oils are still hot. And YL was the first in this category. Used for healing, cleansing and beauty, essential oils are natural, have few side effects, and have hundreds of home applications.

Their lavender fields are famous and they control every aspect of production from planting to bottling, so quality is a big deal with this line. Founder Gary Young is known for setting quality standards for the entire essential oils industry.

So, what's not to like? Let's just say it rhymes with "Moterra."

# 6. Advocare

Last year's #1 ranked network marketing company had a bit of bad PR and slipped a bit.

A recent ESPN report (10) was a borderline hit, covering mostly the negative aspects of network marketing, leaving the reader with ex-distributor quotes like this: "You're catching people in a bad place who have hope that this might be a way for them to pay for their credit card and their children, and you are exploiting them."

Oh. However, the Brees are still rolling with em and they have the endorsements, products (Spark), programs (24 day challenge) and revenue to be 10 locks.

# 5. Tecademics

"Tec-a-who?", you think.

Chris Record's new venture is an "online internet marketing education" that is still in the works, so it's the calm before the storm. Students can attend a real classroom setting (I believe in Scottsdale) or learn online.

The fact is that to date the dude has not launched a single venture, and he already has a team staffed with major league Internet marketing. Yes, this ranking is based on speculation, but Tecademics will be on my short list of MLMs to consider in 2017.

The concept makes too much sense. I'm just saying.

# 4. Digital Altitude

What happens when you create a custom eLearning development program focused on digital business for aspiring entrepreneurs? And encourage affiliates to spend up to $25K on programs, masterminds and digital retreats?

Correct Answer: A bunch of internet marketers got rich

Digital Altitude isn't just a sexy game because their training teaches distributors how to promote products, allowing them to automate and scale past a list of family and friends or approach the well-dressed people at Wal-Mart.

That's why it's hot and will likely stay hot for a while.

# 3. Younique

In early 2017, 60% of Younique was sold to Coty for $600 million (11), bringing their valuation close to $1 billion.

Clap for them.

Good news for distributors: Derek Maxfield and management are still on the move, and the social media beauty product management company is still thriving with their 19 lipsticks and 39 moisturizers.

Younique has exploded in Utah in the last few years, driving the market for beauty at-home parties for women who want initiation. Powerful messaging that works.

# 2. Jeunesse

Another winning product line here. Jeunesse products work super, super well. Even MLM cynics should show some love for a product that gets rid of wrinkles:

People will always want to look younger, and instantly ageless cream continues to excite.

They were the #1 fastest growing direct selling association on the Inc 500 and poached by Alex Morton in the months before Vemma left in 2015. Savage AF?

A trend and a product that works really, really well? This is a rare occurrence in network marketing.

# 1. doTERRA

A recent third party study (13) found that 9 out of 10 people living in the Eastern United States have never heard of doTERRA.

Translation: they're poised for exponential growth.

DoTERRA has had a cult following in Utah for some time (33% of consumers in the Rocky Mountain region), but now people all over the world are becoming strangely passionate about using essential oils.

Capitalizing on millennials who love to go "all natural," doTERRA is buzzing from church parking lots to your married, twenty Instagram sisters. After only five years in business, they landed a $60 million position at their headquarters in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Young Living's doTERRA dope started much later (2008) and manages to have momentum.

Result: they are the clear leader in the essential oils market (a trending, marked niche), making doTERRA my #1 MLM pick of 2017.

Summary:

Look, honestly, I applaud anyone for looking at network marketing companies because it shows that you are trying to do something about your current financial situation.

It's hard to knock.

Now, should you join any of the above companies? Brief history: MLM is a job for many, but not for most.

Network marketing companies generally have good intentions, but the industry is flawed.

Lemme explains some of them:

1) Low barrier to entry

Just: companies choose the multi-level marketing model because MLM companies are cheaper to run and cost less to operate. By outsourcing this work to a distributor, the company saves $1,200 per employee annually.

Now you have thousands of trained marketers supporting the hot trend and ultimately becoming the “middlemen.”

2) Artificial supply and demand

Simple: Network marketing companies get into trouble when most of their sales come from new recruits rather than from outside clients.

The FTC continues to go and monitor these companies (Herbalife, Vemma). If you need to buy a bunch of product to join an MLM, that's a problem. This is called production hype.

Think about it: Why else are so many MLM companies mysteriously re-launching or re-launching? This is all about new registrations.

Obviously, there are always exceptions, but these disadvantages apply to most network marketing companies.

Ask yourself an uncomfortable question:

Am I pretending to love these overpriced products to hide the truth, meaning I'm selling an opportunity to make money? Moreover, statistics say that this is almost always the case!

Too honest?

And yet there are wayyyyyyyyyy better ways to quit your day job and live the good life.

  • A young man, 25 years old, has had a problem for three years - prostatitis. He was treated at the clinic. Annual treatment cost 15-20 thousand rubles. But the problem returned again. He didn't even want to live. But I received information about Aklon-SAD.
    I used Viorgon 14, five drops under the tongue three times a day. Within a very short time, his problem went away. He’s happy, a real man says now.

    I have prostate adenoma. Constant medications, specialist observations, painful nighttime urges, lack of sleep. I started taking Viorgon 14 with great doubts. Began to sleep at night. Added viorgons 01, 21, 25, 05, 03.

    I am 47 years old, postmenopausal. I have been suffering from hot flashes for almost a year, recently every half hour. Many women will understand how painful this is. Plus, there were severe headaches, weakness, constant fatigue and depression, etc. On my advice, I started drinking Viorgons 01, 21 and 13, and wearing a serotonin necklace. The headaches stopped, my head became light, clear, energy and mood appeared, and I became very calm. And most importantly, there have been “hot flashes” only twice since I started taking the drops.

    I’m 68 years old, I try to do without pills, but during magnetic storms it’s always bad. The headache was unbearable, as I had two concussions before. Also, the veins in my legs did not allow me to sleep. Doctors suggested surgery. Now, thanks to Viorgon 17, which I have been taking for almost a year, I don’t notice magnetic storms, my blood pressure is normal, the nodes on my right leg have completely resolved, and half on my left.
    I also take Viorgons 01 and 21, five drops in 0.5 water for prevention.

    Marketing plan of the company "ACLON"

    International marketing plan of the company "ACLON"

Every day, thousands of people around the world are trying to discover ways for themselves that could provide them with the opportunity to obtain a basic or To do this, they have to look at the vacancies that have appeared on the labor market or study certain ways of earning money.

Network marketing allows every person to help solve the problems of generating income. Reviews from professionals in this business clearly indicate that success can only be achieved if the right steps are taken at the start of a career in MLM.

It is quite difficult to explain in a nutshell what network marketing is. Some people, having encountered such companies, call the earning schemes they created a real “scam”. But there is also an opinion opposite to this. According to him, network marketing receives reviews as the only opportunity to open your own business without initially investing large sums of money in its development. So which of these two opinions is correct? In order to understand this, you need to understand the question “Network marketing - what is it and how does it work?”

Only after collecting detailed information about the MLM system will each person be able to come to certain conclusions and decide for themselves whether it is worth working in this area, or leaving it for others.

What is MLM?

This abbreviation stands for: MultiLevel Marketing. And this means nothing more than “multi-level marketing”. This is also a direct sales system.

Network marketing (MLM) is a special way of promoting a particular product with the help of a whole network of people who receive a certain percentage of sales or a reward for attracting newcomers to the company. A person simply tells his acquaintances and friends about the product, and they, in turn, distribute similar information further. As a result, a kind of network is formed that facilitates the rapid sale of goods. This is the essence of network marketing.

Inviting people to the company is very profitable. After all, for each new customer a person receives a certain percentage of the profit received. However, expanding the network of buyers is far from simple. Often, for this purpose, network marketing uses a wide variety of psychological techniques. Not everyone likes this. That is why, before inviting a new person to the company, network marketing professionals must explain to him the essence of such a product distribution technology and explain the advantages that this work has.

A little history

The first company operating on the MLM principle appeared back in 1927. It was then that the creator of food additives, K. Rehnborg, began multi-level sales, in which he achieved good success.

Initially, K. Rehnborg was engaged in ordinary trade. However, a moment soon came when the demand for products became significantly higher than his capabilities. And then K. Rehnborg came up with a great idea. He began to attract acquaintances and friends to distribute the product he created, offering them an appropriate reward.

Somewhat later, people from this company, which was called Nutrilite Products, Lee S. Mitenger and William S. Casselbury, developed the basic principles of such sales. Soon MLM gained popularity all over the world. By the end of the 50s of the last century, on the basis of the company, which laid the foundation for a new type of product distribution, the now widely known Amway retail chain was founded.

But the MLM scheme and companies working in this field gained particular popularity in the 80-90s of the 20th century. And today they offer a very extensive range of products, which includes almost everything, from vitamin supplements to dishes, cosmetics and household appliances. Which companies have chosen network marketing for themselves? "Oriflame" and "Avon", "Faberlic" and "Zepter", as well as many others. According to experts, some of these companies have an annual turnover of products offered on the market reaching about 200 billion US dollars.

Learn to distinguish

Sometimes a network company is compared by those who first encountered MLM with a financial pyramid. Of course, at first glance, the scheme by which sales are carried out is not very simple. However, when it comes to network marketing, a person is not required to invest huge amounts of money and then just sit and wait for a miracle.

If this is real network marketing, how to make money in this area? It will take a lot of effort to grow your customer base. At first there may not be any profit. However, if you put in some effort, you can soon start receiving some income from sales. If the network is too large, the newcomer will be far from the top. In such cases, he should not expect a move to the Maldives or exorbitant fees. But a couple of tens of thousands as a salary increase is quite realistic.

However, before you become an agent and start attracting clients, there are certain things you need to pay attention to. They will allow you to avoid a financial pyramid. So:

  1. True network marketing offers to sell a specific product or service that is contained in the manufacturer’s catalog. Products are never purchased for future use. Only those products that have been ordered by customers are subject to sale. Payment for goods is made on the day it is received from the warehouse.
  2. A company operating on the principle of a financial pyramid will require payment of membership fees or the purchase of “securities,” which outside of this organization are nothing more than ordinary candy wrappers. In addition, in a financial pyramid, each person receives a profit not at all from the volume of products sold by him and his network, but from the number of people whom he brought to the company and who paid membership fees to it.
  3. Another type of online earnings that is questionable is the sale of various equipment or software. Before starting work in such a company, you will need to pay for a certain package of services that allows a person to take one or another place in the trade chain. These can be various tools for work in the form of a plastic card or a personal account, the use of which is impossible without paying a subscription fee. Where can you find this kind of network marketing? Examples of running such a business are far from isolated. Thus, Talk Fusion attracts potential clients and agents with offers of income that can only be received after paying a certain amount in advance and attracting two or more new recruits. The chain created in this way will generate profit. Such a scheme is more similar to a financial pyramid, although the company still has a product that needs to be sold. But, in order to succeed in this company, a person must have the qualities of a psychologist, speaker and leader. And even in this case, he is unlikely to be able to rise from the initial level to the very last step.

From the above, we can conclude that successful earnings in an MLM company are possible only after a preliminary study of all the conditions of cooperation. Only by making the right choice can you achieve successful promotion.

Assessing prospects

How to start making money in direct sales? To conduct such a business, a reliable and promising network company must be selected that will allow you to achieve the desired result. The best starting option is a well-known brand. When choosing it, you will not need to make much effort to convince customers of the need to purchase. Cosmetics manufacturers such as Faberlic or Oriflame, as well as companies offering household goods (for example, Amway), are popular. Consumers have already appreciated these products, and they will buy them without any worries.

However, it is worth keeping in mind that the niche of well-known brands has already been occupied by other distributors. And for those who have chosen network marketing for themselves, how to make money in this case? A high level of competition will require the use of a special strategy, without which it will be impossible to create a customer base and start receiving your own passive income. Of course, in this regard, it is easier to make money in a newly created network company that offers a product that inspires consumer confidence, but is also scarce on the market. These are new dietary supplements, training courses, devices for health and home, etc. The choice of one direction or another will largely depend on a person’s personal interest, as well as on his desire to make money from it.

Rating of MLM companies

There are a large number of manufacturers on the Russian market who sell their products through direct sales. What are these network marketing companies? Their rating contains those brands that occupy almost 70 percent of the MLM market. First on this list is Avon. It is followed by Oriflame. Third place belongs to the Amway company. On the fourth is the Mary Kay company, offering cosmetics. Faberlic occupies fifth place in the ranking.

The remaining companies are considered smaller and cover the remaining 30 percent of the market.

Education

If network marketing is chosen as the direction of business, how to make money on it? You should pay attention to the assistance that company representatives provide to newcomers. It may include various manuals and video tutorials, trainings and meetings. All this, as a rule, is provided completely free of charge. Sometimes curators help in attracting first clients. Without training, it is impossible to work in MLM at any stage. The more detailed information a person has about a product and its benefits, the easier it will be for him to convince other people that they need it. That is, persuasiveness directly depends on the existing knowledge base. The experience of MLM professionals also helps, who will definitely tell you how you can make a profit faster, as well as attract new people to create passive income.

Receiving a profit

An important point when choosing a network company is to study the scheme for accruing funds and bonuses. After all, earning money is the main motivation for any person.

With a fairly transparent scheme for generating income, the absence of penalties, as well as unrealistic targets for the sales volume proposed by the company, working in a chosen network company is quite capable of bringing good results.

Action plan

After choosing a specific network company that provides an excellent opportunity to make money, it is recommended to draw up a business plan for yourself that will allow you to understand what attention should be paid to.

So, it’s worth choosing a way to get money. This could be through direct selling or using a passive option. Which one is more promising? Often product distributors seek to start with personal sales. At the same time, they get the opportunity to study demand and create a customer base.

Professionals who have thoroughly studied network marketing look at this issue somewhat differently. How to make money according to their advice? MLM gurus recommend that beginners start from two positions at the same time. After all, among potential clients there will always be people who want to receive additional income, as well as those who want to purchase products at the purchase price.

Networkers who are at the highest or middle level in the hierarchy of the distribution scheme note that they owe most of their earnings to the work of their subordinates, and not at all to direct sales. Thus, after some time, having built up a client base, you can completely abandon direct sales of products, having properly motivated the entire multi-level structure of agents.

Sales methods

How to earn a good income in a network company? To do this, you will need to find the most effective methods of attracting customers. There are several of them:

  1. Direct contacts with people. This method is used if a person working in a network company has free time to visit public places or has a very large circle of relatives and acquaintances who are not yet involved in the MLM business. However, judging by reviews from professionals, this method is very time-consuming and often ineffective. This option is relevant if you already have a list of clients who only require delivery of catalogs and products.
  2. Creating a consumer base using social networks, your own website or online store. In this case, you will need to devote less time to work, and the coverage of the audience of potential clients will be much wider. In this case, only those users who are interested in the company’s products or want to receive additional income will respond to the offer.
  3. Creation of contextual advertising and landing pages, sending offers to advertising sites and by email.

Anyone who wants to make money in network marketing can increase their profits several times if at the initial stage 2-3 MLM companies are selected at once. Thus, customers can be offered simultaneously several brands of cosmetics, as well as products intended for face and body care. This option is also beneficial because the cost of the product among competing companies differs. This allows you to select products from the desired segment for people of different income levels.

Knowing your own character

Not everyone can achieve success in network marketing. In order to earn a high income, you must have the following qualities:

  • patience and stress resistance;
  • sociability, which presupposes the ability to speak and then maintain a conversation with any person;
  • perseverance, which will allow you to achieve your goal, sometimes returning even to places where you have already received a refusal;
  • psychological skills that allow you to convince a person of the need to purchase a product;
  • leadership qualities that will provide an opportunity to develop a chain of passive income;
  • oratorical qualities to speak confidently, correctly and beautifully;
  • the ability to plan your own time, which will allow you to avoid fuss, eliminate inconsistencies in scheduled meetings and leave yourself time for rest and self-education;
  • trading skills.

A person who has the qualities listed above, applying all the rules recommended by professionals in this field, will definitely achieve success in network marketing.

You can make money in different ways. Some people are used to waking up every morning to the sound of an alarm clock or a smartphone signal and quickly get ready, fearing that they will be delayed on the way to work - after all, they need to get there no later than a certain hour. Some people prefer shift or shift options, which provide the opportunity to rest after several hours (days, months) of hard work. Still others prefer to work on the Internet, which involves a minimum of personal interaction with strangers.

But what to do if you don’t want to go to regular work, and it’s boring without human communication? There is a way out: this is the so-called MLM business, which involves the sale of goods or services from person to person, without a number of intermediaries and resellers. Theoretically, this should lead to lower prices for products and an increase in their competitiveness compared to store-bought ones. Let’s try to figure it out whether this is actually true and whether working in a network company is true.

Network marketing - companies in Russia (list)

First of all, you need to understand the basic terms and clarify the very principle of operation of network companies, fortunately in Russia it is not too different from the world.

Network (affiliate) marketing- this is a method of direct sale of products “from the manufacturer to the final consumer”, which does not involve the introduction of intermediate links into the chain (retailers, resellers and specially hired sellers).

MLM is a copy of the English abbreviation MLM: Multi-Level Marketing (multi-level marketing). “Levels” in this case are not retail, but structural formations: no matter how complex the network of affiliate business may be, the goods still arrive from the seller to the final buyer without additional markups.

The principle of building a “team” of network companies is approximately the same and is not much different from a financial pyramid: each new participant must not only purchase goods from a recruiter for a certain amount (and then sell it on their own), but also fulfill the plan prescribed in the rules of the structure, already himself attracting new distributors to the network. How successfully a new team member copes with these tasks will determine his rating and the possibility of further promotion, and sometimes the right to continue working in the company.

Important: since Russian legislation does not regulate the MLM business in any way, each network company has the right to set its own degrees of distinction for distributors, development and sales plans, trading conditions, and even regulate their behavior when communicating with clients. It is useless to argue with the demands of the “employer”: a newcomer who could not get along in the team can only leave it - often with losses resulting from the purchase and impossibility of selling the goods.

This is why network marketing in Russia (and in the rest of the world) can hardly be called an ideal start for a young entrepreneur. For a person who has start-up capital and has an idea of ​​a “safety cushion”, it is better to consider other passive income schemes. Perhaps it will be a little longer and a little less profitable, but he won’t be left with a serious loss either.

The advantages of a network business include:

  1. Free daily routine. Each seller, regardless of the accumulated rating and current status, is focused solely on results. You can wake up at any time and have a weekend whenever you want: the main thing is to continue communicating with the wards within the structure and customers and carry out the plan.
  2. Direct dependence of profit on effort. Unlike routine work with a fixed salary, participation in network marketing gives the distributor the opportunity to sell exactly as much product as he can. Therefore, by spending a little more effort, you can get a more significant income - and vice versa. The same applies to recruiting activities: for attracting new members beyond the plan, the distributor receives additional points, bonuses or cash payments. The conclusion is obvious: the more sociable and resourceful the consultant, the more he can earn.
  3. Various bonuses. Depending on the regulations of the network company, this may include business trips abroad, cash bonuses or material rewards. However, since incentive payments, like other aspects of the activities of network companies, are not regulated by Russian legislation, a newcomer should find out in advance whether they are provided for in a specific structure - otherwise, no matter how actively he works, he may be left with nothing.

These are the main advantages of network marketing, but it also has disadvantages:

  1. Complete absence of guarantees. The distributor works in the company at his own peril and risk and receives exactly as much as he earned, according to internal regulations. There are often cases when an additional commission is charged on the seller’s earnings, sometimes reaching 40% of the amount. This practically eliminates all tax liberties associated with the lack of government regulation of network business. In other words, even if the seller does not pay money to the state, he will share earnings with the structure itself. And no one can guarantee him any significant profit.
  2. Probability of being in the red. As already mentioned, each distributor must, in order to start and continue work, not only engage in recruiting, but also regularly (once a month, quarter, and so on) purchase products, which are subsequently intended to be sold to the end consumer. If he cannot do this, no one will return the money to the distributor, and all the purchased goods will remain with him. And since the plan must be carried out, a person who wants to remain in the system will have to make new purchases in the future - and so on endlessly, until successful sales begin or until complete ruin.
  3. Lack of government guarantees. This feature of the network business was described earlier: a distributor engaged in the MLM field is not considered officially employed, does not have the appropriate rights and is completely defenseless before the “employer”.

Perhaps the low employment of the Russian population in network marketing (as of 2018, this is only 7% of the working population) is associated precisely with these disadvantages. Nevertheless, a fan should try himself in this area - the main thing is to find a company with adequate requirements and not get too carried away with purchases and “promotion” along the ephemeral career ladder.

Below is a list of the fifteen most popular network structures in Russia, suitable for both beginners and professionals in the MLM field.

Avon

The first network company on the list, founded, like most others, in the USA and came to Russia back in 1991. The area of ​​activity is the sale of cosmetics, perfumes and, to a much lesser extent, hygiene and souvenir products.

Features of cooperation with Avon:

  1. To start working in a network company, you must register as a coordinator. Already at this preparatory stage, the future team member will face difficulties: he will have to send the necessary set of paper documents to the company’s office (fortunately, located in Russia) and wait until they are processed. Only after this can you start working.
  2. A significant advantage of the network company opening the list is the low cost of products and small amounts of mandatory purchases. As of 2017, this is only 1,600 rubles.
  3. A coordinator who successfully sells a product and regularly (with the release of each catalog, that is, approximately once a quarter) attracts at least five new sellers can count on a bonus - a one-time payment in the amount of 125 thousand rubles.
  4. Each team member receives discounts on products:
    • 15% - when purchasing cosmetics and perfumes only for yourself;
    • 15–32% - if the above plan is implemented.

Important: Avon pays coordinators directly to their bank card, which is undoubtedly very convenient. On the other hand, it is this network company, at least in Russia, that “removes” from 20% (for beginners) to 40% (for advanced sellers) of earnings from each transfer. In addition, the structure completely lacks vertical development, and all the work of the coordinator can be transferred to another seller if the contract with him is unilaterally terminated.

Faberlic

The second chain company on the list is also engaged in the sale of cosmetics, perfumes and related products. The structure was founded in Russia in 1997 and since then has been systematically and confidently developing, without, however, showing any special miracles.

Features of cooperation with Faberlic:

  1. To get started, you do not need to send any documents to the office of the network company.
  2. The calculation is made in points: one point as of 2017 was equal to 80 rubles.
  3. Mandatory monthly turnover is 50 points, that is, 4,000 rubles. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the consultant being deprived of the bonus or expelled from the structure.
  4. Vertical growth is provided: in particular, to obtain the title of “Director” you must achieve a turnover of 5000 points, that is, 400 thousand rubles. The successful seller will be paid a bonus of 55 thousand rubles.
  5. The possibility of passive income is completely absent: no matter what level a consultant reaches, he is still required to fulfill a regular sales and recruiting plan.

Among the advantages of Faberlic is the absence of an entrance fee. One of the most unpleasant disadvantages is the lack of business trips abroad and material incentives (only cash bonuses).

Art Life

This network company, third on the list, also comes from Russia. It was created in 1997 and was initially engaged in the sale of bioactive additives (dietary supplements), nutritional products (in particular, instant jelly) and cosmetics. Despite the extremely successful start of the project, over time its growth began to slow down; Now Art Life, although not one of the leading Russian network business structures, continues to stay afloat, bringing a stable income to both the founders and ordinary distributors.

Features of cooperation with Art Life:

  1. A newbie can register as a privileged client. In this case, he will only need to purchase a discount card worth 150 rubles, which gives the right to purchase the company’s products with a fixed 30% discount. He doesn’t have any more responsibilities at this stage: he can remain a buyer for as long as he likes, or he can become a distributor (business partner).
    • This network company provides three options for cooperation:
    • « Smooth start» - purchase for the purpose of further sale of goods worth 50 points (about 3,000 rubles);
    • « Fast start» - purchase of products worth at least 100 points (accordingly, about 6,000 rubles);
    • « Leadership start" - the amount of the first purchase is greater than or equal to 400 points (about 24,000 rubles).
  2. In addition, a monthly sales plan has been developed for network business participants - at least 50 points (the same 3,000 rubles). The three lowest levels of the company have the opportunity to take a break from work for three months.
  3. Sales are carried out personally or in a team. In the first case, the distributor receives 10% commission on sales volume; in the second (for the senior in the group) - up to 15% of personal turnover and 5% for sales of each junior consultant.
  4. One of the highest levels in this network marketing is “Director”. In this case, the group turnover must be at least 500 points monthly and a total of at least 4,000 points. The “Director’s” income is 35% from personal turnover, 20% from the sales of each of the “Masters” of the group and 25% from the turnover of each consultant.

The main advantage of a network company is a well-functioning system of rewards and compensation.

Amway

The fourth network company on the list, founded in the USA in 1952 and first appearing in Russia more than half a century later, in 2005. The area of ​​activity is the sale of household chemicals and items for home (apartment) care.

Features of cooperation with Amway:

  1. To start working in a network business, you must pay an entrance fee of 5,000 rubles.
  2. Mandatory monthly turnover - 200 points (as of 2017 - about 10,000 rubles.
  3. Vertical growth is possible, but it is greatly hampered by the high price of the product and the complexity of its sale.
  4. The presentation of products, according to the company’s requirements, is carried out directly at the buyer’s home: the consultant may offer to wash something, remove a difficult stain, and so on.

The indisputable advantage of a network company is the quality of the goods sold. On the other hand, they are not cheap, so they remain inaccessible to many residents of Russia.

Oriflame

The fifth company on the list was founded in Sweden more than 50 years ago and came to Russia in 1996. The products sold are cosmetics and bioactive additives (BAS).

Features of cooperation with Oriflame:

  1. There is no entry fee for participating in a network business.
  2. Mandatory monthly turnover is 150 points, that is, about 6,000 rubles.
  3. Discounts for consultants - up to 32% on the next personal order after the next implementation.
  4. The bonus for reaching the “Director” level is $1,000, “Golden Director” is $2,000. To obtain the director's title, you must sell goods worth at least 250 thousand rubles monthly.
  5. A consultant for a network company may not engage in recruiting at all, without losing income.
  6. The income of the “Golden Director” and the higher levels is passive, amounting to 5% of the sales amount of the team he created.

The network company holds monthly conferences abroad for employees, including newcomers. The business can be inherited or sold to a third party.

TianDe

Sixth on the list is a joint Chinese-Russian company founded in 2007. Sales area: cosmetics, perfumes, healthy food products, dietary supplements, souvenirs and jewelry.

Features of cooperation with TianDe:

  1. To start working in an online business, you don’t need to pay anything.
  2. Sales are calculated in points (the approximate rate is 50 rubles per 1 point).
  3. The consultant receives only 50% of sales.
  4. Vertical growth is possible up to the level of “Diamond Director”.
  5. There is no passive income at any stage of the career ladder

Since the company is relatively young, fairly modest incentives are provided for distributors of any level: discounts on personal purchases of up to 24% and cash bonuses. A member of the TianDe team should not count on foreign business trips in the near future.

Herbalife

The seventh network company on the list is one of the most famous in Russia and the CIS countries. Founded in 1978 in the USA, it came to the Russian Federation at the end of 1994. The area of ​​activity is the sale of products for a healthy diet and weight loss, as well as cosmetics.

Features of cooperation with Herbalife:

  1. To start working in network marketing, you need to buy a basic distributor kit.
  2. The product distributor receives 25% of the sales he makes.
  3. The next level is supervisor. His income is already 50% from retail sales, 25% from wholesale sales, plus a commission of 5% for each distributor.

The main disadvantage of working at Herbalife is the high existing competition and, therefore, the difficulty in selling the same type of product. In addition, products of truly high quality are quite expensive and therefore are in little demand in the territories of the countries of the former USSR.

Mary Kay

The eighth network company on the list, created in 1960 in the USA and “brought” to Russia in 1993. Objects of trade - cosmetics and perfumes.

Features of cooperation with Mary Kay:

  1. Only adult women can work in the network business.
  2. A beginner needs to purchase a starter kit, the cost of which is regularly reviewed.
  3. You can earn income both directly from sales and from participating in presentations and attracting new consultants.

An additional opportunity for those who do not wish to participate in network marketing is to purchase a regular customer card, which entitles you to a discount of up to 40%. Bonus - free training in makeup and sales techniques.

Vorwerk

The ninth on the list and the oldest network company, originally from Germany. Year of foundation - 1885; appearance in Russia - 2005. Field of activity - sale of equipment for kitchens and floor care.

Features of cooperation with Vorwerk:

  1. A beginner is required to undergo free training.
  2. Advanced training courses are held regularly.
  3. Vertical growth possible.
  4. The consultant may choose to engage exclusively in direct sales without recruiting new salespeople.
  5. Floating scale of percentages due to distributors for each sale.

Vorwerk transfers earnings directly to the consultant’s bank card without charging additional commission.

Natura Cosmeticos

The tenth network company on the list was founded in Brazil in 1966 and came to Russia in 2008. Products sold are cosmetics and perfumes (in total more than 1000 items as of 2018).

Features of cooperation with Natura Cosmeticos:

  1. Entrance to the network business is free, as is the initial training.
  2. For each consultant who copes with the sales plan, additional discounts, bonuses and cash bonuses are provided.
  3. Sellers of the first and second levels - consultants and “Advisers” - receive a percentage of each sale.

The schedule of a product distributor is completely free: he can work when it is convenient for him, and also take short “vacations”.

Siberian Health

The eleventh network company on the list, founded in Russia in 2015. The subject of sale is healthy food products and “eco-friendly” cosmetics.

Features of cooperation with Siberian Health:

  1. You can start working without a down payment.
  2. A complex system of points, discounts and rewards, as well as deductions for failure to fulfill the monthly plan.
  3. Every month, the consultant is required to buy (for himself or for the purpose of sale) products worth 100 points, that is, about 6,000 rubles.

The main disadvantages of this network marketing project are the high cost of products and huge internal competition: it will be extremely difficult for a beginner to break through and start earning any serious money at Siberian Health.

Agel

Twelfth on the list is the network company Agel, founded in 2005 in the USA and almost immediately came to Russia. The product being sold is natural edible gels made from berries with the addition of fruits and herbs.

Features of cooperation with Agel:

  1. The opportunity to earn income both from personally recruited distributors and from the “first generation” of sellers they invite - the so-called quadraplane.
  2. Due to the technical features of the project, to enter the business you need to pay from 450 to 1300 dollars, with the emphasis being on the most expensive option.
  3. Each month the consultant is required to purchase at least $120 worth of products.
  4. Beginning distributors receive only 3% of sales.

The company is primarily suitable for experienced network marketing professionals who have the appropriate skills and capital to enter the business. Among other things, it will be difficult for a newcomer to get to the top due to strong internal competition.

Green World

The next company, thirteenth on the list, was founded in China in 1995, and appeared in Russia in 2011. Field of activity - distribution of products for maintaining health and home care.

Features of cooperation with Green World:

  1. The consultant is obliged to purchase goods at least once every three months. The purchase amount is not fixed.
  2. An active distributor must purchase at least $100 worth of product once a quarter.
  3. There is a flexible system of discounts and incentives for successfully completing the sales plan and attracting new distributors.

Despite its long-standing presence on the Russian market, this network business is still little known and is not developing as actively as the previously mentioned TianDe.

Vitalayn

The fourteenth network company on the list comes from the USA. Year of foundation - 1994; year of “arrival” in Russia - 1999. Products sold - cosmetics, bioactive supplements and healthy food products.

Features of cooperation with Vitalayn:

  1. In addition to network marketing, the company actively cooperates with Russian pharmacy chains and online stores, which greatly exacerbates internal competition.
  2. A newcomer automatically receives a 30% discount on products.
  3. Every month you need to purchase goods for at least 45 points (about $90).
  4. As turnover increases, bonuses for the distributor also increase - from 10% to 32% of monthly sales.

The company's disadvantage is the high cost of products, which makes it difficult to sell them in Russia and the CIS countries.

Zepter International

The list is completed by an Austrian network company founded in 1986. It appeared in Russia twenty years later, in 2007. The structure's field of activity is the sale of kitchen appliances and utensils, luxury household chemicals, cosmetics, jewelry and even jewelry.

Features of cooperation with Zepter International:

  1. Beginners receive a free training course.
  2. Thanks to a well-functioning network marketing scheme, competition within the company is minimal.
  3. A consultant with minimal sales receives only 18% of the total cost of products sold; the maximum stipulated share is 25%.
  4. Vertical growth and creation of your own substructure is possible.

Due to the high cost of Zepter products, it is quite difficult to sell them: the business is suitable for professionals, while a beginner will have a hard time even after initial training.

How to choose a network company for cooperation?

An ideal network company must meet the following requirements:

  1. First of all, match the interests and abilities of the seller.
  2. Engage in the sale of goods permitted for free circulation in the country.
  3. Offer high-quality products that are safe for the health and life of customers.
  4. Be present on the market for at least 5–10 years.
  5. Have a well-thought-out marketing plan that is beneficial for the distributor, as well as a flexible system of discounts and rewards.

Advice: it is better for a novice seller to choose an MLM business with little internal competition and a low entry threshold: this will help not only to avoid possible disappointments, but also not to regret too much about wasted money if the cooperation is terminated.

Let's sum it up

It is possible to make money in the field of network marketing: to do this, it is enough to have ingenuity, communication skills and a small start-up capital, as well as to be internally prepared for possible failures.

A novice direct sales agent should not invest all his money in initial or subsequent purchases, nor should he place too much trust in his superior colleagues. This is how, remembering to be careful, he can protect himself from ruin and build a decent career in the network company he has chosen.
