What is the Difference Between Network Marketing and Pyramid Selling?
Let me start out saying, network marketing and pyramids are not the same thing, but most people confuse the two. The reason people confuse them is that most network marketers promote to find others who promote the products, and get people into network marketing. Now, in order to start a business, no matter traditional or network marketing, there is a cost to do so. It is like if you want to start a McDonald’s, then you have to be authorized and you must buy your products from the company. Network Marketing is a legitimate business model where you are compensated based on your results. Many people feel that the person on top can sit on their hands while you do all the work. I can assure you, if you want to make money in any business, it will take work, but network marketing allows you to combine helping others which will help you. Now in a pyramid, there is no product, you pay a lot of money to get involved with the hope of when others pay the high fee, you will get your money back. Thi
