Internet marketing and traditional marketing are twins in the same womb. Traditional marketing has been closely watched and severely attacked by the industrial and commercial departments. Internet marketing uses secret and undisclosed means. Network marketing is to use the Internet and other means to conduct pyramid schemes, and its profit mode is also to pay membership fees.

Usually we all have our own website /QQ group/WeChat group/WeChat official account. Under the guise of e-commerce and part-time online earning (or enjoying products), recruit people to join. The more you recruit, the more you earn. It is a variant of traditional pyramid selling, because the membership fee is low, but the number of people is large, and it will develop rapidly, taking advantage of people's love for money.

Some friends may ask, what are the characteristics of online pyramid schemes?

Look from the type, the current network marketing mainly includes three types:

The first is the "online version" of traditional pyramid schemes, which promotes physical products and develops offline with the help of the Internet. But this model is too blatant and has been gradually abandoned.

The second way is to increase the click-through rate of advertisements by developing offline members, and get points by browsing paid advertisements online, and it has developed from a single click advertisement to click advertisements, send and receive emails, register online and other ways. This kind of online registration is mostly free and rarely seen in China, but it poses a great threat to maintaining the security of personal information on the network and avoiding spam harassment.

The third type: the so-called multi-level information network marketing (mlm) model is also the most discovered and investigated by the police at present.
