Work at Home Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is MLM ? MLM is ‘Multi Level Marketing’. Members recommend products or services to others, who in turn recommend them to others. This allows you to build a ‘downline’ You could end up with a large “downline” organization all buying and marketing products for the company you choose. You will make money on the sales of everyone in your downline. This is very popular with people who work at home.

2. What is a Safelist? A Safelist is a list of people who have agreed to receive ads from other members of that group. Most safelists are free to join, with paid upgrade options. The upgrade options offer more features or benefits than the free versions. Check out the best safelists on the ‘Advertising Tools’ page. Spam (sending email to anyone who did not ask for it) is a serious issue for online marketing. You must be very careful to only advertise in 'safe' places or you could be accused of Spamming.

You will need a big 'bounce-free' dependable email account for all the emails you will get from the safelists you join.
