To judge whether it belongs to pyramid selling, we need to analyze the legal connotation of this behavior from a legal perspective. Those who meet the following conditions belong to pyramid schemes.

According to the provisions of the MLM Ban:

Article 2. MLM refers to the behavior that organizers or managers develop personnel to calculate and pay remuneration to the developed personnel based on the number of personnel or sales performance directly or indirectly developed by them, or to require the developed personnel to obtain the qualification to join on the condition of paying a certain fee, thus disrupting the economic order and affecting social stability.

The difference between direct selling and pyramid selling is that pyramid selling is not supported by products produced by factories, but by attracting people to profit from it. Direct selling, in general, is to use the product by yourself, feel that the product is good, share it with people around you by sharing, and get company rewards from it.

The return is to save a lot of store costs and advertising costs from this marketing model, and spread it in the form of WOM. Therefore, a good direct selling company must have convincing product support.
