Pyramid Scheme or Legal MLM: How to tell the difference

The question comes up all of the time for network marketers, “Is this one of those MLM pyramid deals?”

The fact is, most people do not really understand the difference between a pyramid scheme and a legal MLM or network marketing business opportunity.  Even most journalists writing on the subject do not understand the differences.

The reason is that it is not as simple as one might first expect. I used to think that if there were products changing hands, it was legal.  If there was only money changing hands, it was illegal.  While the latter is certainly illegal, a product alone will not necessarily legitimatize an illegal scheme.

(If you have a slower connection speed and you find that the presentation starts and stops, you can pause presentation by clicking on the Pause ‘||‘ button. It will continue to load while paused so you can come back in 10 or 15 minutes, then click on the play button ‘>‘ with better results. The video will then be finished downloading and you can watch it play through without skipping.)

On this page is a recording of a live webcast I did a while back not only explains the difference in a way anyone can understand, but it also explains a concept that can help you quantify the “grey areas.”

Watch this 20 minute video presentation carefully, it will help you more fully understand and explain what is legal and what is not, what is profitable and what is not. I guarantee that you have never seen it explained like this.
