Being a member or distributor in a Multi Level Marketing (MLM) venture can be a decent job and very sucessful. Many people are actively participating in these types of firms only part time as they are also maintaining their regular jobs.

However, many of these part timers switch to pledging full time to their work as multi level marketing distributors as the profits quickly turn to being a major part of their income surpassing their regular job.

And when you become a full time distributor, you might consider setting up a home base office especially if you have large scale down lines or also busy doing some business aside from your multi level marketing plans.

Here are some of the guidelines in setting up a home base office.

1. You don’t have to remodel your houses in order to have a home base office for your multi level marketing plans. You just have to plan exactly where you will locate your office inside your home.
 
To pass the IRS requirement if you’re located in the United States it should be an area exclusively for your business.

Do not use the room for non tax related purposes. If it is a play room or listening room then it cannot possibly pass the IRS requirement.

For your multi level marketing activities involve selling the products from your mother company, then the room should be displaying the products that you are selling.

2. Make sure that your home base office is client friendly, it should be free from pets and noisy kids as it will interfere with how you will entertain your clients.
 
It should have a comfortable ambience and fixed in a simple but orderly manner.

If you are selling health products, then it is pleasing to see that all products are well arranged in your cabinet or display case so the clients can have a better look at the items available.

3. Aside from arranging your home, you should also open a savings or check account exclusive to your business. As a distributor of the multi level marketing plans, most of your clients might send payments through your bank account. If you use your own personal savings account, it will be harder for you to monitor your profits from sales and from commissions in your down lines.

4. Get a business phone line. Do not use your home phone for business purposes. Having a business phone line will allow your clients to call you inquiring about their orders and delivery time.

5. Be sure that you read and are completly familiar with all company brochures, training manuals and informative CD’s from your mother company as it will help you learn the guidelines in running your investment.

6. Develop a daily routine and develop within yourself a sense of discipline in your buisness. Without discipline, you can not focus your attention on your home base office. 

7. Finally, advertise. Advertise to your family, friends and neighborhood that you are part of a multi level marketing firm and that you are setting up a good home base office to accept orders, product inquiry and even new members to recruit in your mother company.
