Another academic study of 362 recruits and 189 sponsors in a multilevel marketing organization found that the recruits sold an average of $682 worth of merchandise per month.   This survey also found that most respondents worked from 10 to 20 hours per week on their distributorship.  The average age was 25 to 34 years old, and the vast majority were married women.  It is also interesting to note that over 50% of respondents did not have any other employment, so this business opportunity represented their only source of direct income (of course, this would be in addition to any income earned by their spouse).  Thus, the amount they made would be critical in helping to pay for basic living expenses.

An independent, published research paper conducted a survey of network marketing organization presidents to determine the amount of money that distributors made.   This independent survey revealed that, as might be expected, distributors earned a range of income.  An average distributor earned $12 per hour, and worked an average of 34 hours a month.  This resulted in earnings of $418 per month.  An above-average distributor earned $33 per hour, and worked an average of 76 hours a month.  This resulted in earnings of $2,523 per month.  A top distributor earned $72 an hour, and worked an average of 169 hours a month.  This resulted in earnings of $12,217 per month.  Of course, it is also possible that below-average distributors earned nothing.  Thus, distributors earned on average, anywhere between $0 per month to $12,217 per month, with an average earnings of $418 per month.  Such supplemental income is vital to pay for such basic living expenses as food, transportation costs, housing, and child care expenses.
