Qnet[edit | edit source]

Qnet is a multinational direct selling company that provides a diverse range of products in various sectors such as health and wellness, personal care, home care, and fashion accessories. The company operates on a business model based on multi-level marketing (MLM) and direct selling, where independent representatives refer products to consumers and are compensated based on the sales volume of their referrals and the sales volume of other independent representatives in their teams.

History[edit | edit source]

Qnet was founded in 1998 by Vijay Eswaran and Joseph Bismark in Hong Kong. The company initially started with a few products and later expanded its product line to include a variety of items. Over the years, Qnet has grown into a global entity with a presence in more than 100 countries.

Business Model[edit | edit source]

Qnet operates on a Multi-level Marketing (MLM) business model, also known as network marketing. This model involves a pyramid structured network of promoters who sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing. Promoters are also incentivized to recruit others to join the company as promoters.

Products[edit | edit source]

Qnet offers a wide range of products. These include health and wellness products such as nutritional supplements, weight management products, and personal care items. The company also sells home care products, luxury goods, and fashion accessories.

Controversies[edit | edit source]

Despite its success, Qnet has faced several controversies and legal issues in various countries. These primarily revolve around allegations of operating a pyramid scheme, a business model that rewards participants for recruiting others into the scheme, rather than for selling the company's products or services.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Qnet, with its diverse range of products and unique business model, has carved a niche for itself in the direct selling industry. However, the controversies surrounding its business practices have also raised questions about its legitimacy and ethical standards.
