The myth of network marketing

What is a pyramid scheme?

A pyramid scheme is illegal – and for good reason.
There is no real product or service in this type of scheme. The money is earned solely through the constant recruitment of new participants. Profits are made from the deposits of others – not through real added value or honest work.

Characteristics of a pyramid scheme:

• No real products or services
• Focus solely on recruitment
• No sustainable income, but dependence on the influx of new people

What makes network marketing different?

In contrast, network marketing is a transparent, legal and growing business model that is permitted and established in many countries, including Germany.
The big difference: it’s about real products, real benefits and real relationships.

• Products with added value: high-quality, sustainable solutions such as essential oils, supplements and care products
• Income through sales: You are paid based on your work and your sales volume – not on how many people you “recruit”
• Regulated business model: with a tax number, business registration and clear legal framework
• Appreciation instead of pressure: people decide freely whether and how to join – no one is persuaded

But is that serious?

As in every industry, there are also dubious providers in network marketing. But to condemn the entire model because of this?
That would be like saying:
“All online stores are scams”, just because you had a bad experience once.

My tip for you:

Make up your own mind. Inform yourself, ask questions, check offers. And above all:
Don’t let prejudices hold you back.
Because this is exactly where new doors could open for you – whether for greater well-being, a career change or a new way of living and working.

It’s time to dispel old myths – and create space for new perspectives. And if you want to know what the people “behind doTERRA” are like and what this vibe feels like, then come to the Europe Convention in Brussels from 8-10.5.25.
