1. Q: What is Network Marketing?
A:
This is a type of direct selling where distributors are compensated in both selling the products and the business opportunity. This encourages them to build and maintain their own network distributors, each with their own customers. It comes with many aliases: MLM, Multilevel Marketing, Word of Mouth Marketing, Multiplication-of-Efforts Marketing, among others.
The distributors who are independent contractors and not employees of the company, act as both the company's customer base as well as the marketing and sales arm for a company's products (or services) and business opportunity.
Distributors are compensated in two ways: 1) when they sell products; 2) when their recruits sell products. Merely recruiting new distributors into the network gives you no compensation.
The term multi-level in multi-level marketing describes the various levels of recruits qualified for compensation in a company by independent distributors even if they are not directly involved in the sale of a product or service. The levels refer to those directly and personally recruited as well as those they have personally recruited and so on.
The system encourages distributors to duplicate their network business by building and maintaining their own network of distributors (called downlines), each with their own retail customers. This way, the distributors' downline base expands and the company's distributors' base expands with it, with sales as the common basis for earning by both the company and its distributors.

a. Pyramiding is fraudulent and not a sustainable operation
b. Pyramiding is not legal
c. Pyramiding companies pay commissions on people recruited while Network Marketing schemes pay strictly on retail sales and none on people recruited.
7. Q: What are the consumer safeguards that distinguish legitimate MLM from Pyramiding scams?
A:
There are three consumer safeguards:
A low entry barrier by way of reasonable sales kit or demo materials sold at cost as they sign up as distributor. There is no other investment required.
A low exit barrier by way of a "buy back" policy (at minimum 90% of the price paid) that the firm will repurchase, within a reasonable timeframe from last purchase, the unsold, unopened, unused, unexpired, undamaged inventory held by distributors resigning from the company. There is a protection given to the distributors.
An indispensable need for regular retail requirements for the distributor to earn continuously. There is no offer of income by simply recruiting and products sold at fair market value. 4. An obligation to sell at least 70% of their previously acquired inventory before distributors are allowed to make a repurchase. There is absolutely no inducement for inventory loading.
8. Q: What are the sources of compensation?
A:
The sources of compensation are:
Retail Profit derived from personal sales
Network Income derived from personal sales of downlines, including group rebates, royalty bonuses and other types of bonuses. This may also include personal recruit bonus when a personal recruit makes a sale.
