Q. Isn't Network Marketing one of those pyramid schemes?

Q. Hinde ba pyramid scam ang networking?

Pyramid schemes are illegal. Network Marketing is a legal, moral and ethical type of business.

Period.

The only thing that could come close for it to be similar is the shape or the structure of the organization. It resembles that of a pyramid . Other than that, pyramid and network marketing are not the same. They are  two worlds apart different.

Pyramid is simply based on recruiting people and using them as their basis of making money. Their products, i(f there are even any) are overpriced and of very poor quality. In Pyramid schemes, the moment you stop recruiting people, you stop making money. The only people  who earn the most are the ones who joined in first. In short pyramid schemes solely use money or people as their means of earning. There are a lot of people who are arrested of putting up illegal pyramid schemes.

Network Marketing on the other hand, is used to create an organization of people who uses, retails, and promote the efficacy of the company’s product lines. It merely uses the network people in order to promote the products and marketing plan at the fastest, most economical way. It applies the old style word-of-mouth advertising instead of displaying the products at the mall or paying huge amounts of money for commercial ads and the like. And unlike the pyramid schemes,  a legitimate and great network marketing companies gives a chance for the late newcomers to overtake their uplines or the ones who joined the business earlier in terms of income because of the fair marketing plan.

In short, network marketing is a product based industry and has been a powerful business model for more than 60 years now. In the Philippines, if you are a marketing student of its Top Universities, network marketing is being offered as an elective course. In the United States, you can earn a degree by studying Network Marketing.

Tagalog Translation

Ang pyramid schemes ay illegal. Ang network marketing ay legal, moral at ethical na negosyo.

Ganun lang kasimple.

Ang maaring maging pagkakapareha nito ay yung hugis ng structure, na parang triangle, pero maliban doon, magkaibang magkaiba sila. Magkaibang planeta ba.

Ang pyramid schemes  ay nakabase sa pagrerekrut lang ng tao, at nakadepende lamang ang kita sa dami ng marerekrut. Ang produkto nila (kung meron man) ay napaka baba ang kaledad, at kadalasan ay sobrang mahal. Sa pyramid schemes, kapag tumigil ka na sa pagrerekrut, titigil din ang iyong pagkita. Sa pyramid schemes, ang pwede lang kumita ng malaki ay yung mga nauna. Sa medaling salita ang pyramid schemes ay gumagamit lang ng tao o pera para kumita ang mga naunang sumali. Marami ng tao ang naaresto dahil sa pagtayo ng illegal na pyramid scams.

Ang network marketing naman ay gumagamit ng organizasyon ng tao para gumamit, ibenta at i-promote and kagandahan at kaledad ng mga produkto nito. Ginagamit lang ang network ng tao para mabilis maikalat ang kaepektibo ng mga produkto sa lalong madaling panahon at sa pinaka ekonomikal na paraan. Ina-aplika ng networking ang makalumang paraan ng marketing na ang tawag e word of mouth or pagkukuwento or pagshashare ng kagandahan ng mga produkto at serbisyo nito. At ang magandang networking company katulad ng AIM Global, maari ka magkaron ng tyansa na malampasan ang kita ng mga uplines mo or sa mga taong nauna sa iyo. Ito ay pwede manyari sapagkat ang marketing plan ng AIM Global ay patas para sa lahat.

Sa madaling salita, ang network marketing ay isang industrya na product based and mahigit ng 60 na taon ng ginagamit bilang isang epektibong plataporma ng pagnenegosyo. Sa pilipinas, kung ikaw ay isang marketing student ng De la Salle University or Ateneo de Manila, elektib na kurso mo ang networking. Inaaral na rin ang network marketing sa AIM(Asian Institute of Management) University.  Sa America naman, sa University of Chicago, isang kurso na rin ang network marketing.  Ganun kaepektibo ng business model an gating negosyo.
