You've Only Scratched the Surface
Anita, don't take this the wrong way but I am going to offer you some constructive criticism. Your post has offered little more to the reader than names of some compensation plans. A couple of suggestions for you:
Name the compensation plan, gives the benefits of the plan, give the detriments of the plan, give some information about how a compensation plan would force an enroller how to behave to maximize their payout.
Other things you could try along the same vein are comparing legal compensation plans with illegal ones. What makes a compensation plan legal or illegal, how are they different?
Just a few tips for you to think about in order for you to add content that is beneficial to the reader. Ask questions about what you are going to post that you might ask and answer them in the post.
