Where is the money coming from? 

 

The majority of the revenue in Direct Selling (80%+) is coming from customer orders. People who only want the product.

It’s obvious that a customer will not be rewarded as a networker.

Customer revenue is put into a “networkers pool” and is rewarded to networkers who build up an Direct Selling organization.
