We have hosted more than 70 national conferences on starting and running a direct selling, network marketing, MLM or party plan company. We host the original MLM Startup Company that many try to imitate. We have started and advised many of the leading companies in the industry. We have a “big picture” approach that is difficult to find elsewhere. We are big believers in education and our website, www.mlmlegal.com, is hopefully evidence of this, with hundreds of articles, cases, statutes, and scores of videos. We take a particular satisfaction in helping entrepreneurs pursue their dreams and the consequence is often the creation of thousands of jobs and opportunities. And at our conferences, we have started many companies that are, today, household names. It has been a pleasure and honor to assemble professionals in these conferences to assist individuals to create “something from nothing.”

Join us at the next MLM Startup Conference in Las Vegas!

WHY?

The information you will gain and relationships that you will build by attending the conference are invaluable. You’ll receive information on how to:

– Structure your compensation plan
– Legalize your company
– Recruit key employees and top-ranking distributors
– Develop a business model
– Generate leads
– Fund your business organization
– Establish your website and technology platforms
– Better understand the direct selling industry
– And, so much more

Read why network marketing executives have consistently attended the MLM Startup Conference for over twenty years:

– [I] Launched [the company] Federal Chamber of Commerce in 2002, after attending your Conference. Contracted with Mr. Alfred White to consult on our Compensation Plan. Recruited 10,000 Reps and $5,000,000 volume in 9 months. Cashed out stock in 2003. Back again in 2013 with new partners and a new concept…

– We want to get the fundamentals and the basics down… get a good review of what needs to be done to be successful…

– We have a traditional business at the moment and we are looking to take it into the realm where it’s more personalized, it’s more about building people and an experience. It has been absolutely worth our trip. We are
looking to take our business to the next level and build relationships.

– [I’ve] been in network marking for 30 years [but] we are learning a lot of things about how to launch, how to reach the people we need to have, and again, the things that are required to make a successful company, not only for us but especially for our customers and for our affiliates.

– I want to teach other people how to run their own clothing business and have fun doing it. I have a distribution plan. I have a unique product that I need to take nationwide in a couple of months.

– I’m here because I want to know more about multi-level and I can replicate that experience in my country (Columbia) … It’s worth it to be here.

– The reason I came to the show was to learn more about how to launch my direct sales company. I’m very comfortable and accustomed to selling through more traditional networks; however, I believe that the product that I’m launching is more suitable for direct sales; to get direct-to-consumer faster and in greater sales.

– I have a huge to-do list… Once I know what I’m supposed to be working on I won’t spin my wheels.

It is not easy take for an entrepreneur to decide to start a network marketing company. There are hundreds of bullet points to consider when preparing to launch a MLM company; funding, products, consultants, legalities, software, compensation plan, key employees, state laws, business plans, recruiting, the list is endless. The initial research and preparation itself can be overwhelming.

A simple Google search results in articles that attempt to convince entrepreneurs to not start the network marketing company of their dreams for one vague reason or another. Or, an online search results in a plethora of articles that are generic and are not written by experts in the direct selling field.

Creating a direct selling company requires vast amounts of research, resources, and relationships. This article will aid MLM entrepreneurs in locating valuable articles on the internet that are actually written by credible experts in the direct selling field (check the names yourself if you’d like!). It will provide network marketing entrepreneurs with links to resources and consultants that have the capability to help MLM business owners startup their direct selling companies. In addition, this article will guide startup companies to free and valuable resources that will prove priceless for their startup company.

1)      The first step to starting any company is investing some time into research and education. There are many articles available online that will allow you to better understand the complexities of starting and running a network marketing company. For instance, the article “Starting Your MLM Company”, discusses how successful operations depend on product demand, a compelling compensation plan, and the corporate leadership of the company, as well as how intangible considerations, such as psychology and trust, are important aspects of company success.  The article series titled “Corporate Startup Essentials” goes to great length to outline the importance of capitalization, recruiting, legal, trademarks, expert advice, software/technology, industry experience, product/service offered, international markets, compensation plans, outsourcing, agreements between owners, and corporate attitude. The blog post titled How do I Raise Capital to Start My MLM Business? delves into detail on funding and raising capital to start your network marketing company. The blogs at both www.mlmlegal.com and www.mlmattorney.com contain great posts for startup direct selling companies and MLM executives. The article “Starting a Network Marketing Company?” outlines ten important points to consider when creating your network marketing company. And, the article “The Hallmarks of Legitimate Direct Selling/Network Marketing Companies” details ten aspects of successful network marketing companies. In addition, there are over 70 videos offered at MLMLegal.com that address various aspects of starting and running a direct selling company.

2)      Secondly, it is always important to gather materials that you can turn to when you come across an unanswered question. One good resource for this is the Starting and Running Successful MLM Company manual. There are also several books and brochures available at Legaline Publications that are compiled by experts in the network marketing industry.

3)      The third step, and frankly the most important step to help you understand if your company is legal, is to contact a MLM lawyer to read your materials and advise you in your marketing, FDA and FTC work, trademarks, regulatory issues, international expansion, sales tax, and distributor and vendor relationships, to name a few. The current and easiest way to do this is to visit the page of our Innovation Campaign. The February 2014 Innovation Campaign enables network marketing company owners the ability to receive two free tickets to our next Starting and Running the Successful MLM Company Conference in Las Vegas (a $345.00 value!). All you have to do is fill out a brief survey at our sister website: www.mlmattorney.com, and we will contact you right away to confirm your free tickets to the event. Attending this event will give you direct access to several MLM industry experts, including compensation plan consultants and MLM legal expert, Jeff Babener. Visit our Innovation Campaign page for complete information about the conference, including the topics that will be covered, the speaker list, videos, and much more. For additional questions call 800-231-2162.

Starting a network marketing company can be a complicated process without industry experts guiding you, but we believe this article will help you in the initial steps. For more information on how to build a legal direct sales company, visit www.mlmlegal.com and www.mlmattorney.com.

Attitude makes all the difference in survival and success of the startup MLM. Every successful MLM company was driven by a leader who had a passion for the product, the opportunity, or both. The charisma of the leader could not be shared successfully without passion. You must be, in a sense, what the philosopher Eric Hoffer referred to as “a true believer.” A true believer is a founder of cultural, religious, or business movements, and that’s what you must be. There’s little room for the skeptic or cynic.  An Eminem would say, you can’t just sing the song to succeed you must “lose yourself in the music.” Only with passion will persistence and patience occur. And, only with those two additional attributes will an individual be successful in the launch of an MLM company.

It is a rare day that an MLM company is an overnight success. Some companies become overnight success stories because of the migration of thousands of seasoned MLM distributors as the result of the collapse or implosion of other large MLM networks or companies. This occurrence is the exception to the rule. In the end, it is often the case that the company will not experience a more rapid trajectory until it has been in existence for two or three years. It is usually at that point in time that the combination of its stability and some other fortuitous event in the marketplace causes its discovery by legions of distributors and customers. So, in the end, attitude – the culmination of passion, patience, and persistence is a defining factor in the success of the startup MLM company.

– Wishing you the best in your direct selling business, Jeff Babener.
