Illegal Pyramid VS Friend to Friend/Network/Referral Marketing

If I buy a product that works well for me at Walmart I may tell my friends about it and how well it works. They then go to Walmart and buy the product themselves. The company made money based upon my referral.

On the other hand, if I am the seller and the user of the product, I tell my friends how well it works and offer to let them try it or see how well it works for themselves. If they like it they can buy it from me. They can buy it from time to time, or buy it at a discount by setting up an automatic shipment. I made money off my own referral. This is selling within my network of people, therefore is called network marketing. It is also referred to as friend to friend marketing. As long as I am selling and emphasizing a PRODUCT I am engaging in legal and ethical business practices.

There is no door to door unless you consider inviting a friend over or being invited over by a friend to show the product door to door. Even considering that, most of this is done by giving people a DVD, literature, or directing them to a web-site to purchase their products. Very little to no pressure.

If on the other hand I am hawking an OPPORTUNITY with no reference to the product, I THEN have crossed the line legally and have become an illegal Pyramid Schemer. "If you do this you are going to make so much money you can't believe it." "You are getting in at the bottom, you will be a millionaire", etc. etc. These are the types of hyped up statements that are made in an illegal Pyramid Scheme. While all of the things stated MAY be true, intelligent people can fill in their own blanks without assistance, and should.

Aside from all this EESO is its own entity providing the raw products for Wow Green. If Wow Green went down (which by all indications WILL NOT happen) EESO would still be moving right along. I hope this helps.
