The Best MLMs for 2022 - Based on Momentum, Sales & Compensation

Jay is a 20 year veteran of the network marketing industry with over 10 million in career earnings.

As 2022 quickly approaches, I’ve become inundated by messages from subscribers asking about what I believe the best MLMs to join for 2022 are. So, after conversations with about 50 top multi-level marketing leaders, here are my thoughts on the very best companies! 

Table of Contents

So, obviously there are a LOT of different factors that come to mind when talking about the BEST multi-level company to get started with – so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

For instance, you may be a veteran of the multi-level marketing world, and you’re looking for a company that’s poised for ‘momentum’ – which is a common phrase in the MLM community for a company that goes from the 50 million/year mark to the 500 million/year mark (often in just a few years time).

Or, you may be someone new to network marketing, and you’re just looking for a simple company that’s been around for a long time, with something simple to sell – and that’s totally okay!  But, there is a different set of criteria that’s needed for judging that type of opportunity.

As such, I’ve done my best to identify WHY you may want to look into each of these MLMs in 2022 – depending on your individual need: 

Best MLMs with Potential for Momentum in 2022

LiveWave (Stem Cell Patches & Phototherapy)

I recently posted a full review on LifeWave and their stem cell patches – and I was really impressed with everything I discovered.

What I really appreciate about LifeWave is their scientific research and their testimonials to back up their product claims. Many companies that I am approached by to review, have products related to the health industry, but no real research or clinical data to support their claims.

LifeWave is the complete opposite. They have over 90 global patents surrounding their products, and I believe they are right on-trend when it comes to what the public is looking for. In fact, LifeWave and their executive team (from what I hear), is quite new to MLM, and the company wasn’t built originally for marketing in that manner.

This means they are in it for the science, and the products – which just makes you feel good.

I’ve spoken with a few top leaders at LifeWave, and not only are they experiencing very rapid growth over the past year, but they also seem to be right around that magic spot for an MLM of about 100 Million in domestic sales. (with booming business overseas in Japan as well)

Amare (Happy Juice & Nutritional Products)

Amare is a bit lesser known MLM, but the insider scoop is that they’ve grown several hundred percent in the past year alone to the tune of about 50 Million/year in sales. And, I think they owe much of that growth to their concoction called “Happy Juice” which has become a bit of a viral phenomenon on TikTok, Reels & Stories.

Amare has set itself apart from other nutritional companies almost entirely by its research and proprietary blends. And, they have world-renowned formulator Dr. Shawn Talbot is to thank for that. When you read a nutritional label for any of Amare’s products – you’ll soon discover a vast amount of ingredients and blends that you’ve never heard of before – and if you read the real reviews on their website, you’ll notice these products are working. 

By having such an incredible formulator, along with several trademarks, and lots of clinical research; Amare can protect itself from the downfall of many MLMs – Amazon competitors! 

I will certainly do a more comprehensive review on Amare here soon, but after speaking to a few leaders, I was very impressed by Amare and would highly recommend them as a top network marketing company for 2022.

PawTree (Dog Food Seasoning & Pet Products)

Pawtree is quickly becoming a household name when it comes to pet food, and specifically with its dog food seasoning (PawPairings ®). Pawtree is another company which has benefited greatly from promotion on social media – who doesn’t like to watch puppy and kitty videos?!

I’ll be honest here, I’m a little biased to this company, because my puppies absolutely love the dog food seasoning that Pawtree makes, and I like the quality of the company’s ingredient choices. 

But, above and beyond my personal experience with the products, there is a lot of legitimacy to pawTree’s addition to my top MLM listing for 2022. The company’s CEO Roger Morgan is setting the company up for success with it’s veterinarian advisory council and great customer support.

After talking with a couple of the company’s top leaders, I’m making the educated guess that Pawtree is another MLM that is very close to momentum with total annual sales between 50 and 100 million.

Proven MLMs with Big Upside in 2022

While many network marketing professionals are incessantly on the lookout for the ‘next big thing’ – there are others who are looking for something that’s stood the test of time with stability in leadership and logistics. 

So, while the MLMs above are great for momentum, I believe the following companies are great choices for those looking for stability and a steady income.

It Works! Global (Skinny Wraps, Coffee & Nutritional Products)

It Works! originally got its start with the “skinny wrap” aka the Ultimate Body Applicator. That one product essentially took the company from 50 million to over 500 million in annual sales.  Since that time, the company has launched several popular weight management and keto products and has expanded to dozens of countries globally. 

After speaking with several leaders, I’ve learned that It Works! is launching several new products for 2022 and after 20 years of solid business – my gut tells me that getting invested with this MLM would be a smart move for 2022. 

One thing I really like personally about It Works Global is that they are pretty understanding and flexible with their digital marketing policies.  From what I understand, they allow you to do marketing on the search engines and also on social media – which is pretty rare with an MLM.  And, it makes building a strong business from home a little more simple.

Melaleuca (Natural Household Products)

If you’re familiar with multi-level marketing then you’re no stranger to Melaleuca.  Melaleuca has been around for several decades and is a top company in the DSA (Direct Selling Association) with over 2 billion in global sales. 

Melaleuca continues to churn out new products that quickly become best sellers year after year, and has a very strong compensation plan with their top earners making a minimum of over 300k/year

The reason Melaleuca is always a top MLM is because of their large variety of quality products that are highly consumable. If you consume a product every month, you have to buy it every month – and that creates real residual income!

Herbalife (From Chicken Soup to Acne Cream)

No list of the top-rated MLMs would be complete with mentioning Herbalife.  Every year, they continue to impress and 2021 was no exception, with over 5 billion in global sales and a spot in the top 10 of the DSN. 

What I really like about Herbalife is their ability to cater to different segments of the market with a huge variety of products. From chicken soup to weight management, to solutions for acne – they have a little bit of everything to offer. 

When you have a company with such a large assortment of products, it makes it a lot easier for it’s distributors to come up with creative marketing strategies. If you’re looking for a stable MLM in 2022, Herbalife would definitely be worth a shot!
