This is a Pyramid Program

Here is an example of a pyramid program:

If you are promoting a $25 offer and that someone can make $100 per day from 4 sales, but the only product being sold is the opportunity to have your own website promoting the same $25 offer - it is a pyramid scheme.

There is nothing being sold other than the right to sell the "offer."

When you think about it, if you sold 4 a day, and everyone you sold to sold 4 day, and their buyers sold 4 a day, etc., in short order you would run out of people on the planet. It is quickly unsustainable and a pyramid.

Here is how many people are in the program selling the "offer" and making $100 per day:

Day 1 - 1 person
Day 2 - 5 people
Day 3 - 20 people
Day 4 - 80 people
Day 5 - 320 people
Day 6 - 1280 people
Day 7 - 5120 people
Day 8 - 20,480
Day 9 - 81,920
Day 10 - 327,680
Day 11 - 1,310,720
Day 12 - 5,242,880
Day 13 - 20,971,520
Day 14 - 83,886,6080

and in the next few days you blow through the world's population - the vast majority of which have no one left to sell the offer to, and thus lose money.

This is what got Frank Kern into trouble with Internet Empires, and he had least had ebooks being sold in addition to the offer to sell your own "Internet Empires" website. The ebooks, though, were not the primary offer and promised way to make money.

This came up because someone on the forum apparently thought a pyramid requires a multi-level structure where money is made from your buyer's sales.

Not so. You need a product to sell that has independent benefit. Do not just sell an offer so someone can sell the same offer.
