In a recent article where Melaleuca was mentioned to deny being MLM, a debate began between individuals on what defines MLM.
MLM simply means Multi-Level Marketing. If you are able to build a team of independent sales people that you earn an income from, this is multi level marketing, even if it’s one line of IBO’s. (Independent Business Owners) What makes MLM different from traditional sales are a few things. The distributors are all on a 1099 and not a W-2. They are independent, making their own hours, working at their own leisures.
A salesperson at a car dealership, for example, is hired by the car dealership and has to report in, still clocking in, still showing up for work and is expected to be there. If a salesperson doesn’t meet the expectations, they are fired. In MLM, there’s usually a low start up cost. In traditional sales, there is no start up cost and there may also be a minimum salary offered plus commissions.
Some of the largest MLM companies are Herbalife, Amway, and Mary Kay.
An IBO can’t be fired. They can be terminated by the company for violation of a contract. Most network marketing (or MLM) companies fall comfortable in

Zurvita And Spurilla Approved By The DSA
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
The Board of Directors of the Direct Selling Association recently approved the membership application of two direct selling companies. The companies are:
SAS SPURILLA, LLC
Zurvita
Each of these companies completed the minimum one-year pending period required for full membership in the association. During this time, the company’s marketing and business plan were reviewed to ensure compliance with all provisions of DSA’s Code of Ethics.
“The members of the Direct Selling Association pride themselves in their commitment to the highest standards in business ethics,” said DSA’s President Joseph Mariano. “By applying for membership in the association and going through a rigorous approval process, these companies are demonstrating that they take their ethical obligations to their field salesforce and to the ultimate customer seriously and are willing to make a public pledge to that effect.”
DSA’s Code of Ethics gives the direct selling industry one of the strongest self-regulatory codes in business today. All member companies are not only required to comply with the Code to be admitted to the association, but must also continue to uphold and promote the Code as a condition of continuing membership in the association. DSA’s Code is enforced by an independent code administrator who investigates and prescribes remedies in response

Natura Cosmetics Joins B Corps: Will Other Big Business Embrace Sustainability Certification?
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The Guardian reports:
Natura, Brazil’s top cosmetics, fragrance and toiletries maker, this week became the largest – and first publicly traded – company to attain B Corps sustainability certification.
The certification program, which is run by B Lab, is designed to encourage high standards of environmental and social stewardship and transparency among businesses.
Until now, in some ways, B Corps has seemed like a noble – if limited – experiment, a method for ideologically driven companies to pursue sustainability while still surviving in a business environment that is red in tooth and claw.
While the program has had considerable growth – currently, there are more than 1,170 B Corps businesses located across 37 countries – the majority are small and privately owned. The question arises: for all the good that the B Corps does, can it appeal to major economic players?
Natura’s recent move suggests that the answer is yes. And the Brazilian company isn’t the only prominent, well-funded business that has recently sought certification. Earlier this month, crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and energy company Green Mountain Power both announced that they have attained B Corps certification.
Both companies are strong players in their respective fields. In March 2014,Kickstarter passed the $1bn mark in lifetime funding – and over half of that money was raised

CVSL Stock Opens, Closes At $13 In Debut
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
CVSL, a holding company for direct sale businesses, debuted on the New York Stock Exchange Friday, uplisting from an over the counter exchange.
Dually headquartered in Dallas and Luzern, Switzerland, CVSL saw its stock traded as high as $19.85 per share on the OTC market in the past year. It hit NYSE under the ticker symbol CVSL and opened and closed at $13 per share.
“We didn’t really anticipate a large change in the pricing, the point was more to be on the stock exchange,” said Russell Mack, vice president of the company. “This was the first step of a long-term strategy.”
Just over 18 months ago, CVSL made its first acquisition, buying Longaberger, an Ohio company that creates pottery and baskets. It now owns eight businesses in the direct to consumer market and want to continue to add to its portfolio. M&A will be the company’s major focus in 2015 as it works to grow geographically and across industries.
“Right now out of our companies we represent nine industries,” Mack said. “What we want to do is build outward and diversify so CVSL represents as many categories of direct to consumer as possible.”
“We also want to expand geographically,” he added. “We’re currently selling in

Aron And Cathy Parker; 12 Years To Become An Overnight Success
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
It was some time ago when I heard a leader on stage say, “Would it be worth it if for 4 years if you weren’t successful and then made 6 figures on the 5th year? What if it took 10 years? 15 years? Would it still be worth it?” For most, the answer is absolutely.
Most of us spend decades in our job working only to make progress in baby steps with a ceiling cap looming above us. The promise from network marketing is what keeps people going.
It’s what kept Aron and Cathy Parker going, even though they both started on their own separate paths 12 years ago. Their story has become one that defines what the network marketing industry is about.
What many people earn in a year is what Aron and Cathy have just earned in a single month at DubLi; $41,000*. But it didn’t come easy. There were times in their network marketing career where they were on WIC (a type of government welfare program).
Their decision to sign up with DubLi didn’t come easy. Their network marketing career had picked up momentum in the last couple of years even though they had struggled in it for so long they began to
