This document provides an overview of the network marketing business model. It explains that network marketing uses word-of-mouth advertising through independent distributors to sell products. Distributors can earn commissions on their own sales and on sales by others in their network. As more distributors are added, the network grows exponentially, allowing residual income to be earned from the ongoing sales of those in the network. The benefits outlined are that it allows an average person to own a business with little investment and provides flexibility to control their own time. Training and support is provided by more experienced distributors.
