The question comes up all the time what is a great MLM opportunity and how do I capitalize on it.  Of course one of the first criteria for the MLM plan is that the product or service is something that people will want to use and consume.  The best scenario is you build an organization that can find customers who want to use the product, thus buy it, every month or every week or what ever.  This is why vitamins, soap, and cosmetics are so popular in MLM circles.  Once you have a customer you can be assured you will get repeat sales from that person.  Once you make the originally investment of time and effort into getting the customer, the rest of the income is like free money.  You don't have to do anything for it.  The check just comes in the mail every month.

This product idea can be juxtaposed against a model that involves only a one time sale.  This is a lot harder because you must invest time and effort into every sale.  You don't get paid unless you work for it.  These payments are usually higher but still you are devoting time and effort for each month's return.  It is much nicer to set up a recurring sales agreement with the customer and not have to do anything else to keep the money rolling in.

Right now health and wellness products are really doing well.  This makes sense because the baby boomers are starting to age and older people have more medical problems than young people.  Vitamins and mineral supplements are doing great.  These fit our criteria above of being able to be set up on a recurring basis.

Go for the products that will continue to pay you month after month.  As you build your organizaiton you eventually get to the point where you have a residual income arriving in your mail box every month.  This is the ultimate MLM opportunity.

Along with having a great product to sell you want to make sure that the company has a good track record.  The last thing you need to do is get hooked up with a company that is being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission.  There is no point in building an organization that includes customers and a down lined if you are going to have everything taken away because the MLM  company did not follow the rules.

You also want to know about the longevity of the members.  If there is a high turn over then this should be a red flag warning you away.  The company should be able to point to several owners who have build successful downlines and are now reaping the profits.  If the company says they are too new for that kind of activity then tell them thanks you will look at them again when they have a track record.
