Over the past 40 or 50 years MLMs have come and gone. Some MLM’s have had great longevity but many others have disappeared without even being noticed. If the MLM you are looking at has 6 key elements you can bet it is poised for longevity.

1- Good stand alone businessM
2- Good Training
3- Good Products
4- Large underserved Market
5- Tools
6- Management Team

Being a good stand alone business means can a person who doesn’t want to build a team make money. Can someone who just wants to sell the product or service make a good part or full time income? Does the company actually encourage people to be stand alone producer first and team builder second? Financial services like Mortgages, Life or Health insurance might fit well in this category.
