Finding the Right Fit in MLM

Vicky’s MLM journey began in 2009 when she faced redundancy and needed a way to earn money quickly. The idea of running her own business was appealing, but she wasn’t sure where to start. MLM provided an accessible and affordable way to learn essential business skills while earning an income. Over the years, she has used these skills to establish her own nutrition business and continues to incorporate MLM as a complementary "side hustle".

When looking for an additional income stream, Vicky wanted something that aligned with her interests and lifestyle. A friend introduced her to MeAmora, and after trying their Press-On Nails and Lash Extensions, she quickly realized their potential in the UK market. Recognising the uniqueness and quality of the products, she decided to join MeAmora and turn her passion into a profitable business.

 

A Seamless Startup Process

Starting with MeAmora was straightforward. Vicky invested £120, which provided her with over £400 worth of products and business materials, along with comprehensive training. The onboarding process included a 'New Stylist Training' via Zoom, teaching her how to set up her online store and back-office system. With a generous commission structure ranging from 20% to 35%, and opportunities to earn additional rewards through training programs, Vicky was off to a strong start.

 

Rapid Growth and Achievements

Within just three months, Vicky achieved all three levels of MeAmora’s 'Steps to Success' program and was promoted to 'Senior Stylist'. She also came close to qualifying for the Incentive Trip program, earning a prestigious Level 2 award. Although she missed the grand prize trip to New York, she was treated to a luxurious experience at MeAmora’s UK headquarters, where she received exclusive gifts, attended a makeup masterclass, and enjoyed a cocktail-making lesson.

Since then, Vicky has built a team of four members and consistently ranks among the top ten sellers each month. Her goal is to qualify for next year’s incentive trip and continue expanding her business.

 

Flexibility and Work-Life Balance

Vicky loves that her MLM business fits into her lifestyle rather than dictating it. She sets aside dedicated time to work on her business while ensuring that family and her primary nutrition business remain priorities. With a husband, pets, and an elderly mother in care, she values the ability to work around her responsibilities.

She and her husband frequently escape to the Lake District for hiking trips, and she remains active in the Women’s Institute and as a volunteer fundraiser for The Brooke, an international animal welfare organisation that helps working horses, donkeys, and mules in poor communities. a cause close to her heart. Her MeAmora business allows her the flexibility to maintain these commitments while building an additional income stream.

 

The Many Benefits of MLM

Vicky highlights several benefits of working with MeAmora:

- Access to high-quality, award-winning beauty products at discounted prices.

- Weekly commission payments providing an extra stream of income.

- A supportive community of like-minded individuals, including customers and fellow stylists who have become close friends.

- Continuous training and development in business, sales, and social media marketing.

- The flexibility to set her own schedule and personal business goals.

 

Skills and Lessons Learned

Since joining MeAmora, Vicky has developed extensive product knowledge, especially in skincare. She has also honed her sales skills, ensuring that she shares products in an engaging and informative way rather than coming across as pushy. She also recognises that persistence and patience are also key in MLM.

​

Overcoming Challenges

Like any business, MLM comes with its challenges. Vicky has faced skepticism from those unfamiliar with the industry and has had to navigate the ups and downs of sales. She acknowledges that MLM businesses require resilience and persistence but believes that the benefits far outweigh the challenges. She emphasises that MLM offers a low-cost, high-reward opportunity compared to traditional business models or franchises.

 

Advice for Mature Women Considering MLM

Vicky encourages women to "find a product they truly love" before committing to an MLM business. Many companies and representatives will try to recruit new members, but passion for the product is key to long-term success. Before joining MeAmora, she conducted market research and tested the products herself to ensure they aligned with her interests and needs.

 

Her advice:

• Don’t overthink it—the financial investment is minimal, and the potential for growth is significant.

• Ignore the skeptics—only listen to those with experience in the industry.

• Commit to learning—attend training, use the products, and become a brand ambassador.

• Be consistent—small, daily actions lead to long-term success.

 

The Power of Community and Support

One of the most rewarding aspects of Vicky’s journey has been the sense of community within MeAmora. Whether through team meetings, corporate support, or customer relationships, she feels constantly encouraged and motivated. Her customers and social media followers have become her biggest cheerleaders, and she enjoys being part of an uplifting and empowering environment.

 

Looking to the Future

Vicky plans to continue growing her business, expanding her team, and promoting MeAmora’s unique beauty products. She hopes to qualify for next year’s incentive trip and remain a top seller while enjoying the freedom and flexibility that MLM provides.

 

Final Reflections

Reflecting on her journey, Vicky describes MLM as a "fantastic opportunity"—one that has given her financial rewards, personal growth, and lasting friendships.  With the right mindset, product, and work ethic, success is within reach.
