Multi-level marketing, abbreviated as MLM, also called pyramid selling, network marketing and referral marketing, is a controversial marketing strategy for the sale of products and/or services where the revenue of the MLM company is derived from a non-salaried workforce (also called participants, and variously known as “salespeople”, “distributors”, “consultants”, “promoters”, “independent business owners”, etc) selling the company’s products/services, while the earnings of the participants is derived from a pyramid-shaped commission system.

• Team marketing

2. Trevo

Trevo is one of the more expensive (to start) MLM companies in Nigeria. At almost double the cost of the average opportunity, their product line is limited to an exceptional energy drink which apparently contains more than 170 ingredients.

3. Forever Living Products

FLP is also one of the older, more established MLM companies in Nigeria. In stark contrast to Trevo, which was founded only a few years ago, FLP was founded in 1978. As such, it has proven to be a robust, financially solid company with a stable business model and good leadership. The product range is substantial, and everything is made from natural ingredients.

4. Alliance in Motion Global

is based in the Philippines. Founded in 2005, AIM Global is not really new any more. However, they have not expanded beyond the Philippines immediately, and they also only targeted a few well selected countries.

5. Organo Gold

Organo Gold, burst onto the global scene in 2008. I say “burst”, because they grew so fast that they had trouble keeping up with sullying their distributors with stock.

6. Edmark

is one of the older MLM companies in Nigeria. Established in 1984 in Malaysia, it has been around for more than two decades. It is one of the slightly cheaper opportunities to start up, with a product line focused on wellness and nutritional products.

8. Tiens

Tiens is a network marketing company that started out in China more than 20 years ago. At one stage it was even listed on the USA stock exchanges, but withdrew from the North American markets (USA and Canada) due to increasing resistance against MLM as a business model (in America, more and more network marketing companies are coming under fire because those in power are unwilling to accept the legitimacy of the business structure – just look at the problems that VEMMA experienced. Read full detail here: Vemma Update – The Sad Part and Implications ).

9. Kedi

Kedi tarted operating as an MLM company in Nigeria in 2006. The company is a subsidiary of Kedi Healthcare Industries Ltd from Hong Kong.

10. Gaurapad

This somewhat different from the typical MLM company in Nigeria. The founder, Bolaji Rosiji, has battled an ulcer for 21 years before it was healed by a product that is now part of the company’s product line-up.

11. Oriflame

Oriflame is an older, well established business. While Oriflame is relatively new as an MLM company in Nigeria, the original company was launched in the 1960’s in Sweden. Globally, they have a massive sales force. Fortunately, the fact that they are relatively new to Nigeria means that you won’t have to battle against market saturation as much as reps from other countries undoubtedly have to do.

14. Green World

Green World is, as far as products go, also promoting Traditional Chinese Medicine products. The product range includes a wide variety of health and beauty products, which is constantly expended as the company continues to do more and more research into new applications for Chinese herbal remedies.

15. Global Wealth Trade

GWT is one of the more expensive MLM companies in Nigeria to get started – but it might just be worth it for those who do. GWT promotes luxury products across various lifestyles, and the marketing is aimed squarely at human nature. It is aimed at our desire to stand out from the crowd, or to fit in with a better crowd, and to showcase our achievements.

QNet is a very interesting company. It was conceived in the Philippines in 1998, and today the headquarters are situated in Hong Kong. The company was founded after a great team of network marketers fell victim to the scams of a USA company, and decided to create their own network marketing company – and not simply walk away from all liability (which they could easily and legally have done).
