New MLM Companies Wiki: Free Advertising for Distributors and Valuable Information for Prospects

The new MLM Companies Wiki is a collaborative website (like Wikipedia) where individuals can provide detailed information about MLM companies. Contributors may include up to three (3) links to their personal websites. People looking for network marketing opportunities receive objective company information since contributors may provide positive or critical information about an opportunity.

(PRWEB) September 23, 2006 -- The new MLM Companies Wiki (http://mlm.wikispaces.com) gives prospective distributors an opportunity to review information about various network marketing companies. These descriptions are written by one or more current or former distributors.

"The MLM Companies Wiki is a win-win enterprise. Current distributors receive free advertising in return for their objective descriptions of their network marketing opportunity. Individuals looking to join an MLM home business benefit from up-to-date information about a company" said Dr. Mark Worthen, developer of the site.

Of course, one of the first questions many people ask is, "What the heck is a wiki?"

Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) (a wiki itself) defines a wiki as "a type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content ...."

Thus, a wiki is a website that is built by a group of volunteer writers and editors. The MLM Companies Wiki is about Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) companies (also referred to as network marketing, direct sales, referral marketing, or party plan companies).

Because anyone who applies to become a member can edit a page on the site, there is a built-in system of checks and balances, resulting in more objective information about the MLM companies.

Individuals who have had negative experiences with an MLM company may add their contributions provided they do so in a fair and balanced manner.

In addition, each company's page includes a discussion section where individuals can ask questions or debate issues related to a company.

Contributors to the MLM Companies Wiki have the opportunity to include links to their personal distributor websites, a feature many wikis do not allow.

The site also acknowledges each contributor with a biographical paragraph about him or her along with a link to more information about the contributor and his or her company (if they are a current distributor).

Information about how to become a contributor is on the home page of the MLM Companies Wiki.

The MLM Companies Wiki is hosted by Wikispaces.com, which enables individuals, groups, and educational entities (classes, schools) to create wikis at no cost. Business owners and others can pay a small fee for a wiki that can be customized to their needs. The company recently launched a campaign to give away 100,000 ad-free wikis to teachers, student groups, and schools.
