A multi-level marketing business method for use in connection with the Internet. The method includes the step of maintaining an Internet website for selling products and services directly to the consumer or potential customer. The novel multi-level marketing business method utilizes independent marketing representatives (IMRs) for informing a potential customer of the existence of the website and its address. When the potential customer visits the website, the website presents information to the potential customer for the purpose of recruiting the potential customer via the website to become an IMR himself (or herself). If the potential customer makes a purchase from the website, the first IMR is awarded a sales commission. If the potential customer becomes an IMR himself or herself, then the first IMR is awarded with future sales commissions for future sales attributable to the new IMR. Also, existing customers can refer new potential customers and thereby earn sales commissions for purchases by the new customers, and thereby can have the sales commissions applied against their own purchase to "zero out" their purchases.
