Difference??
Um... network marketing and getting paid on multi levels of networking, is really one and the same... just different wording.
Ya gotta network to make a decent income in mlm.

Do you mean Network Marketing companies that aren't MLM?
There are some, certainly, but not very many.
The ones that spring to mind, neither of which I'd want to join myself, are LLI (that's Network Marketing but it's not MLM and doesn't pretend to be), and Coastal Vacations (also not MLM, and a lot of people have left it, recently).
Of course, there aren't any MLM companies that aren't Network Marketing, because MLM companies are by definition (legal and practical), a sub-division of NM companies.
Apologies if I misunderstood your post and needn't have said all the above, Casper!

No, this is entirely wrong, Viola.
They're different in law (in every country) and different in reality, too.
MLM companies have to be registered and licensed as MLM companies in the countries (and/or states) in which they trade. They divide commission payments on sales of their products or services between multiple levels, hence the name.
There are other, non-MLM network marketing companies, too. They're a different entity. In law and in practice. An example is Liberty League, in which sales of various products are made by and through networks of distributors which are built and supported in exactly the same way as they are in MLM companies, but commissions on sales are not divided between multiple levels.
Don't assume that because LLI has it's "2-Up" comp plan that that means it's not a network marketing company: that would be quite wrong!
People who don't understand the legal and registration differences between the two tend to use the terms MLM and NM as if they were interchangeable, but they're completely wrong to do so, as any lawyer who knows this subject, or of course any regulatory agency will confirm.

Thanks Alexa for adding that - my thought frame was in a different direction and you are absolutely correct. Another example of that is Coastal Vacations. They are not mlm, either, but considered network marketing.
