Jokerpavis,

Good article when writing about ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes. In legal network marketing companies, the focus needs to be long term and a large focus must be on product value delivery to market - not only getting new distributors. If network marketers ourselves are more focused on the needs of the people we speak to we would not present our offering to many, many people because either it doesn't offer value to the person or we learn that the person might not be for network marketing or we realise we couldn't work together. The achilles heel of network marketing is not the network marketing model, it is network marketers that care more about signing people on than helping people solve problems/realise their personal aspirations/developing a relationship with people to understand their needs before vomiting their opportunity all over everyone the come into contact with. Scaling is not a problem if network marketers are more discerning and more long-term focused on the people they deal with.
