In multi-level marketing, if someone signs up under you, you get a large on-time cash bonus and not much else. If that recruit fails or succeeds, you don't care, because you got your money and you won't get much else.
In network marketing, if someone signs up under you, there is no big cash bonus. Some companies may provide something small (my company gives me 25 catalogs). What you care about is the success of that recruit. If the recruit fails, you get nothing. If the recruit succeeds, then you are awarded with commission overrides and other bonuses.
In MLM, you just sign people up. In Network Marketing, you help them succeed.
I am not familiar with Usborne's policies, but I know that several of the others you mentioned work more in the network marketing concept.
