Definition of Direct Selling and MLM vs. Pyramiding
Direct Selling (or Network Marketing) is face-to-face selling to the consumers through independent distributors or sales people. It is a legitimate marketing medium that is used to sell practically anything.
Pyramiding is an illegal money scam often confused with legitimate network marketing plans, where people are convinced to pay money for a chance to profit from the payments of others who might join later.
The 8-Point Test
1. Is there a product?
2. Are commissions paid on sale of products and not on registration/entry fees?
3. Is the intent to sell a product not a position?
4. Is there no direct correlation between the number of recruits and compensation?
5. If recruitment were to be stopped today, will the participants still make money?
6. Is there a reasonable product return policy?
7. Do products have fair market value?
8. Is there a compelling reason to buy?
If the answer to all the questions is YES, then the company being evaluated is a legitimate company. But if the answer is NO, then there is a high probability that it is a pyramid scam.

legal nga ang ibang mga kompanya, kaso nga lang hindi naman makatotohanan yung mga produktong ibenibenta. gaya na lang ng mga kompanyang nagbebenta ng mga pendants, bracelets na nagbibigay o nagdadagdag lakas DAW! alam naman nating hindi yun totoo. may mga demo pa na alam naman nating inuuto lang ang mga tao para papaniwalaing totoo totoo ang bisa ng mga produkto, eh puro manipulation lang naman ang nangyayari.
SCAM pa rin.
