Are there more fair network marketing or “retail MLM” programs that reward direct selling more than recruiting?
Fair and equitable distribution of income in compensation plans would be extremely rare if such existed at all in MLM/network marketing, as MLM is built on a flawed concept of an infinitely expanding program in a finite marketplace. Were such MLM programs to exist, I would call them “retail MLM’s”. In a retail MLM, every participant could earn a decent income selling products without recruiting a downline. Out of hundreds of MLM’s I have reviewed, I have not found MLM/network marketing programs that might be classified as “Retail MLM’s”, which avoid the worst abuses of the “5 Red Flags” discussed above. The closest to fair and equitable systems are some of the party plans, such as Pampered Chef.
