It is though. A pyramid scheme doesn't sell you stuff, it's illegal to set up one. MLM is legal because you have an actual product that you sell. Doesn't mean it's any better or more ethical though, they're still scams. Legal scams, though.

MLM setups are scams, pyramid/Ponzi schemes are scams. Both "sell" you "something". The difference is negligible. (Just my perspective.) ☯️

I knew a kid in college who was selling workout shakes. Tried to get me to sign up. I said na. Month later he was selling energy drinks. I said “what happened to the workout shakes?” He goes “oh dude that was a pyramid scheme, I’m selling these now. It’s totally legit.” I still worry about that kid

It really is! A very very good key point he did bring up in his video is “recruitment bonuses”. It’s actually one of the key things the FTC looks for in differentiating between a legit business and a pyramid scheme. That as well as high start up costs, lengthy confusing contracts, a requirement to purchase and hold an inventory, etc. If any of you are weary about any network marketing opportunity you really need to look at two things. Who you are getting involved with and credible sources. I.E. are those people who they say they are, can they help you and are they willing to. And secondly if the FTC and the better business bureau has a bad track record with them stay away. Those two things can be taken into account with any business venture. Definitely loved the video!

The one guy got mad when I turned down his job offer the same day as the interview.

My best friend one time got into MLM. He met this lady at a target who said he would be like a tech guy at their company (he’s a comp-sci major). So he goes to the first interview at Panera, and the lady hands him a book to read and one of the diagrams was literally in the shape of a pyramid. 3 more interviews ensued and eventually he went to a group meeting at this fancy hotel (there were at least 70 people at that meeting). He’s a smart guy and he knew what he was getting into from the start and I asked, “yo why do you keep going?”. He told me that the lady would always pay for his food and seltzer, and at that group meeting he stole a tissue box. So I guess that’s the only upside to MLM😂😂 Update: This is 2 years later... he went to a few more, they gave him panera bread gift cards. As soon as they did that he quit lmaoo. He's got a good $80 worth in gift cards, honestly it's worth it just for that

I'm talking about the person training us, teaching us to put our foot in people's doorway when they try to close the door on us chaotic, with a live example. I stayed until they stopped paying for food, I never paid for the uniforms they said would be coming, and after the first official day, I quit.

Cause it's not a pyramid scheme but a direct sales company. Same with corporate ladder being a pyramid it's all hierarchy. The pyramid scheme begins when they convince you to do your own product. No good drug dealer does their own product, let alone any business owner. MLM is a direct sales operation prone to pyramid scheming

I remember I attended one of those meetings for some laughs, first off, the boss guy told my friend that he should wear a tie before entering the room like he knew what the fuck. Just cringe... It was all cool until the boss guy who was speaking to us all said "I drive a La Ferrari (nearly a million dollar super car) and life is so good blah blah and it's in the parking lot"...so I said tell me exactly where it is parked! He's like "haha young man, be patient you'll have yours in a few months." I kept hesitating and wanted to know where he exactly parked his so called Ferrari so I could legit believe he really is that rich. They asked security to kick me out of property. I wasn't even allowed to go in the parking lot of the building and ALL the client's cars were parked outside on the street. As I was escorted out, I shouted y'all being scammed! Nearly half the people in the room walked out with me. I did something good that day. Pieces of shits that take advantage of simple people.

I absolutely love the cult-stuff. I had a friend who was in ACN (MLM) and tried to recruit me. I politely declined, but he continued to pester me for weeks. I finally agreed to join a meeting on the condition that I was free to leave once the meeting finished, and never hear anything about it again. He accepted, as he was convinced that the meeting would open my eyes, convert and sign up. It interesting to say the least. The (regional) leader was a middle aged man, the rest were young, naive men that genuinly thought they got the recipe to get rich without too much of an effort. Everyone wanted the same, looked the same and talked the same way. The leader was full of obvious BS, but they didn't question him. They just sat there awstruck by his apparent success and by the promise that they too could soon afford all the extravagant stuff he was bragging about having, and then finally be successfull and happy. 'Cult' is by far the best word I have to describe it.

This is exactly how it works.. my cousin tried to get me to sign up and then the company “executives” reached out to me on a Skype call telling me vaguely that it was a really good product but would never give specifics about their work until I signed with them. It was so shady I dipped before the cult ceremony. 😂

The best part is they will explain the entire scam by saying you are interested but never joining. If you fish them long enough they’ll send you to the top dog and you can interview a actual scammer who tells you everything.

This happened to me before. I had a dude who approached like a friend for months and slowly started bringing up how I could be doing more with business. They started trying to make me turn me against others for not being self starters. I noticed eventually that they never would mention what the actual job or company was for a long time. I got into an initiation ceremony thing and they finally mentioned Amway. I looked it up and found quickly that it was an MLM (pyrimid scheme). Thankfully got out but it was sucky to realize the person who acted like a friend was all about business.

I’m looking for two people and I love your page, it would be great to build our portfolios. You would get a HUGE discount for helping me out!! 😍 So what do you say?”
