I do my research...

Do you know how many people in NZ are close minded about network marketing?
In their defence they just haven't been properly informed.

Please read this information from the Commerce Commission NZ

Are multi-level marketing schemes the same as pyramid selling?

There are a number of multi-level marketing schemes operating in New Zealand which are not pyramid schemes. Multi-level marketing schemes involve the sale of rights to sell a product or products in different market levels. In multi-level marketing, participants earn commission from selling real products, whereas pyramid selling is earning money solely or primarily by introducing other people into the scheme.

Income expectation is limited by the number of sales, not by the number of new sales representatives. Customers of multi-level marketing companies can buy the goods or services they offer without joining the scheme.

Multi-level marketing usually involves commercially viable products (for example clothing, jewellery, cosmetics, health products or cookware) which present genuine business and income-earning opportunities through repeat sales to clients. Customers can repeatedly buy goods or services because they have a genuine use.

That it's it.  End of story!
