The company employs a multi-level marketing model whereby a group of independent representatives refer its products to consumers and receive compensation based on the sales volume of their referrals and the sales volume of other independent representatives on their teams.

Customers can choose to become "independent representatives" (IRs) of the company by paying $10 for a starter kit and an online office.
IRs receive $250 commission after they introduce the products to six people, placing three people on their left and three people on their right, described as two 'legs'.
When an IR introduces a new customer who then becomes an IR themselves, the original IR benefits (by receiving bonus points) from the success of their recruit.
These bonus points build up on only one of the IR's legs.
The IR must then find recruits for the other leg in order to receive commissions.

Many government entities described Qnet's business model as a pyramid scheme: early entrants earn money, and as the number of Independent Representatives (IRs) increases, finding more IRs to join becomes difficult or impossible; IRs that join late do not earn enough to cover their first outlay and the model collapses.

As per an official spokesperson, even though sign-up fees are not charged, a purchase might be required.
This may be in the form of the sale of a qualifying product to a retail customer or by the new representative making a qualifying purchase.
