The COVID-19 pandemic could be leading more people to join multi-level marketing companies, a controversial business practice that can result in sellers making negligible amounts of money, or none at all.
Multi-level marketing companies rely on person-to-person sales, often with salespeople buying their own inventory and selling products to their friends, family and other acquaintances.
Sellers are encouraged to recruit new salespeople also known as downlines to begin selling products as well, with a percentage of their sales going to their uplines.

The proposed Local Government (Municipal Market) Regulations 2020 will hit the most vulnerable and poorest people in Fiji. This, according to the chairman of City General Vendors Association, Ritesh Kumar.
“People don’t come here looking for the thousands of dollars which the Government is looking for.
They come here to earn $20-$30, just enough to eat,” Mr Kumar said. “Some people who sell cooked food here earn a profit of $15-$20.
“How would they pay this big sum of money for stall fees? “I am opposing the (draft) Bill, all my vendors are opposing it.
