Network Marketing vs Multi-level Marketing
What is the difference between network marketing and multilevel marketing?

Network marketing is a system of selling where independent sales people recruit or sponsor others into the business to use the product as they do. This generates income for the sponsor and the bigger the network they sponsor or recruit the higher their earnings will be.

Multi-level marketing is not a system of marketing but a system of reward. A direct selling organisation that offers a multi-level compensation plan pays its distributors based not only on their own sales, but also on sales of others (“downlines”) they have recruited or sponsored into their business. 

They are two different things.

What is a Pyramid Scheme?
A pyramid scheme is where a person pays to another person or company a payment, (called a participation payment) for the right to receive payment or other benefits from the recruitment of other persons, (called a recruitment payment).

Consider a simple scheme where each member has to recruit only 5 new members. It starts out simply enough, going from the promoter and five members, to 25 members, to 125 but by the time the sixth layer is reached there are 15,625 members and at the ninth layer there are more than 1.9 million members. All pyramid schemes will run out of new recruits and most people lose money.

It is illegal in Australia, as well as other countries to promote or participate in a pyramid scheme. --Alessiofavaretto (talk) 02:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

In the Usana WP page the term MLM and Pyramid is used. Both terms are misleading, in particular the use of the word pyramid, which is illegal. The use of the word 'pyramid' should be omitted, given the seriousness of matter. When reading the USANA WP, it transmits the impression that it is illegal. --Alessiofavaretto (talk) 02:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
