In this episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, host Gemma Mitchell is joined by Zara McGuffie from The Australian Business Podcast to tackle a question on many Australians’ minds: how do you bring in more income? One business model that seems to be on the rise (again) is multi-level marketing, also known as network marketing or direct marketing. They promise freedom, flexibility, and uncapped income from your phone. But is it really about building your business – or just building theirs? We dig into the world of MLMs and so-called ‘business opportunities’ that sell the dream of self-employment, but often leave people out of pocket and pressured. We unpack: • Why MLMs are so appealing (and who they target) • What makes them feel legitimate – even when they’re not • The real cost of chasing passive income promises • What to look for – and how to approach opportunities with eyes wide open • Other income streams that might actually suit you better • How to increase your income using your existing skills • How to tell the difference between a genuine side hustle and a self-employment catfish If you’ve ever been tempted to ‘be your own boss’ and start something new – this is a must-listen.
