Top 20 MLM Authors Of All Time

Today, I want to talk about the top 20 MLM authors of all time.

As a full time writer, I am also an avid reader. The love of reading books led me into the dream of writing.  And, I am living my dream!

While I have not yet wrote any books about MLM, my friend and the owner of this website has. The recent book Charles wrote may just drive him high on the list of top MLM authors of all time.  Be sure and check out his newly published book – How To Find The Right Multilevel Marketing Company: Your Step-By-Step Success Guide.

What you will read below is my personal list of the best authors writing about network marketing, as I see it.  This is completely opinion based. You may or may not agree with my findings, and that is okay. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment area at the end of this post.

So, starting with #20 and working up to #1, here are the top 20 MLM authors of all time.

Jay authored the 1984 book Guerrilla Marketing which started a huge movement in marketing for small businesses. While Jay may not be considered just a MLM author, his book has helped many network marketers learn marketing strategies that allow them to keep pace with large corporate entities.

Sadly, Jay passed away in 2013. He was involved in developing major marketing campaigns that featured

• The Marlboro Man
• The Jolly Green Giant
• Allstate Good Hands
• and many more
