Hey there Sea Changers… Recently I have been looking into the world of Multi Level Marketing (a.k.a Network Marketing) to see if there are some online business opportunities there. I noticed in my research just how many programs there are that work within the weightloss market.
The advantage here also is that within this market, there are a number of different options to promote such as supplements, fitness programs and meal replacement options. So, in order to make things a little easier for those of you interested in checking this out, I have created an outline below of the Weight loss MLM companies that I have found in my travels. Let's check them out below:
What is MLM?
Multi-level marketing (MLM) programs are the mainstay of the ‘party plan' world of products such as Tupperware, Mary Kay and Amway etc. and, recently, becoming more and more prevalent within the weight loss market. From the outset, I would be remiss if I didn't make it clear here that these are not an easy area to make money in (which is why many look into affiliate marketing as an alternative).
Success is generally experienced by only a small percentage of those who join the programs and it takes time, patience and a lot of hard work. That said, if you have a good network of customers, or are passionate about the world of health and wellness, weight loss, or fitness supplements, then maybe one of the programs below could be worth it for you.
That's right! Wealthy Affiliate provided me with all of the tools and training I needed to get this post in front of my audience - a.k.a YOU!
You too can start your very own online business here that can make you money from anywhere in the world!!
In short, the MLM process works as follows:
- You join the program, either via referral from another person (known as your up line) or directly through their website.
- You promote the products of the company via parties, workshops or online.
- As you make sales, you offer incentives to your customers to sign up as a member of the program (there are different names for this but they all mean the same thing).
- That new member is then placed ‘underneath' you in a hierarchical arrangement (known as your down line).
- You, and a number of levels of your up line, then gain extra commissions for everything they sell as well.
- If they manage to refer their customers into memberships, they also become a member of your down line allowing you to make up line commissions as well.
The number of levels of your up and down lines will vary depending on the program you have joined. Commission rates will also change as your down line grows or contracts and many will also offer other incentives such as total company sales percentages and/or access to membership prizes as you build your business.

How do they calculate commissions?
When it comes to the earning of money via MLM, most programs manage their downline commissions and rankings via the calculation of Personal Volume (PV) points (there are different definitions of this such as Business volume (BV) or Group Volume (GV) but they all mean the same thing).
Most MLM programs manage it this way in that commissions are paid on the points assigned to a product rather than the entire sales total. For example, if a product retails for $100 and has a 50PV rating (these generally vary from product to product) then the commission is calculated on the $50 purchase only. So if a commission rate for a product is 20% then it will generate a $10 payment to the sponsor (i.e. 20% of the $50 commissionable amount).
PV calculations can range from 1 point per $1 up to 1 per $1.50 or even $2. Obviously the closer to the dollar mark the calculation the better. In addition, most programs assign minimum PV sales per month – either personally or via customer sales – in order to qualify for commissions. Payments and rankings are then also calculated based on the total PV of the member, and their downline.
So, is this just one big weight loss pyramid scheme or is there something to it? Let's have a look!

Weight Loss MLM Companies
Ok, let's have a look (in no particular order)…
First Fitness Nutrition

Based in Texas in the United States, First Fitness Nutrition (FFN) was founded in 1989 by Nigel Branson and Lee Causey – who incidentally is credited on the site as being the inventor of the world’s first diet shake.
FFN offers a large range of MLM diet, weight loss, supplement and CBD Oil based products as well as a smaller range of skin and body care creams etc. In the weight loss category, here are their main offerings:
- Weight loss Supplements

They also offer products as part of a dedicated weight loss program as well. And as with most programs of this type, there is also access to a large range of accompanying supplements, CBD and beauty products as well including:

The FFN MLM program calls their members ‘Distributors' who are part of a fairly stock standard program and commission structure. Their website and processes appear to set it up as a network marketing company first, and a marketplace second. Their compensation plan, whilst not as comprehensive as others, is available so let's check out the basics:
Base Commission rate: 20 – 40%
Down line commission rates: 6 – 8% to 5 levels (1st generation (down line level 1) rates 6%).
Minimum monthly spend to qualify for commissions

- Executive Pak – $549 – 30% discount/commission

Reliv

Reliv is another top MLM weight loss companies based in the United States that provides access to a number of weight loss, health and wellness, CBD Oil and fitness products.

Their mission: “to get our core nutrition products into every home in the world so we Nourish Our World in Body, Mind and Spirit.” As with many programs of this nature, the site is built around its MLM platform with all purchases and processes aimed at the recruitment of distributors.
Reliv offers products in four main areas:
Weight loss
Weightloss Supplements
- Meal replacement
- Fat Burners
Fit3 Program
The Fit3 Program is a distinct advantage within this site as it allows for the promotion of Reliv products within a real life fitness/weightloss program utilising videos, meal plans and nutrition.

Their other product ranges also include:

- Health and Fitness
- Energy
- Fiber
- Cardio
- Children
CBD Oils

The Reliv MLM program calls their members ‘Independent Distributor's' who can take part in a simplistic but standard program. There are some differences within the compensation plan compared to others however in that their initial ranking structure commissions are permanent meaning that once a higher rank is reached, it remains in place for life. Distributors however do not qualify for other usual MLM commissions (such as unilevel commissions) until they reach the higher rank levels.
Discount for members: Up to 40%
Base Commission rate: Up to 40% for personal purchases and sales
Down line commission rates: 2 to 8% to 5 levels – Master Affiliate Rank and above only.

It Works!

Working on a foundation “built on bringing innovative products first-to-market”, It Works! was founded in 2001 by Mark and Cindy Pentecost. From there they have continued to grow their product range and in 2008, transitioned to International markets as well. The company then reached its first $100 million annual sales target in 2012. It Works! is based in Bradenton, Florida in the United States.
As above, It Works! offers a large array of products in the weight loss niche based on a range or coffee, teas and other supplements including:
Coffee
- Keto Coffee
- Keto Coffee Pods
- Skinny Brew coffee
As above, their focus on weightloss related programs also includes the following products starting with supplements:
- Keto
- Weight Control
- Energy & Endurance
- Vegan
- Post Workout
Tea
- Skinny Tea
- Sleepy Tea
- Keto Tea

And as is common with many companies of this type, they also offer a decent range of beauty products as well such as:
- Anti aging creams and serums
- Daily facial care
The It Works! MLM program calls their members ‘Distributors' who are part of what appears to be fairly modern program aimed at building income via sales, team building and leadership levels. It incorporates a common retail and downline commission structure with a good number of bonus options included. I did not find their compensation plan on their website however it did pop up on a simple web search so here are the basics as I have found them…
Base Commission rate: 40%
Down line commission rates: 2 – 10% to 6 levels (level 1 down line is 10% for ‘Commission Qualified' distributors)
Minimum monthly spend to qualify for commissions
To qualify for sales and downline commissions, Distributors are required to become Commission Qualified via:
- Processing a minimum 80BV Auto-shipment
- Generate at least 400 Personal Business Volume per month
These can be generated via personal or customer purchases. Base retail commissions can be earned without being Commission Qualified.
Payment terms: Monthly.
Application required?: Yes, Application form on website.
Purchase requirements to join: Yes
Starter kits are purchased at time of enrollment for a cost of $99. Each kit includes:
- 7 Digital Product Sample Mailer Credits (3 single-serve packets per Sample Mailer)
- Personalized It Works! website
- Access to eSuite for real-time reports, customer insights, and more
- A promo code for 10% off It Works! apparel, accessories, or business tools
- Access to tools and apps that allow Distributors to work from their phone anytime, anywhere
- An all-digital starter kit that allows Distributors to start working from home immediately without waiting for anything in the mail!
Note: purchasing a starter kit qualifies a new Distributor as Commission Qualified for their first month.
I did see reference to a $20 monthly fee to cover the cost of a replicated website on other reviews but could not find reference to that on the It Works! website.
Marketing materials provided: As per starter kit above.

Wow, there are so many of these types of weight loss companies that I fear the competition must be fierce. I know I used to sell beauty products through an MLM and it was cutthroat, so I don’t think I would go down that road again.
The ones you mention here, I haven’t even heard of, and I have seen a lot. How would you choose the best one product wise?
HI Michel – I always say to people to look for one that pays good base commissions without the need for sales targets. i.e. 20%+ on all personal sales regardless of how much you sell – that way you can earn money immediately whilst you build a downline (if you wanted to).
Do some research for product reviews as well so you know they are good.
Hope this helps

I am familiar with Reliv. And I have actually been a member of Herbalife (back in the days when David Beckham was plying in the MLS Soccer League, because I remember I receiver a jersey of the LA team with Herbalife as their sponsor). But I am eager to try these other options. Thank you for putting together this list.
No problems Ann
Let me know how you go
