Ponzinomics 101

Know anyone who failed trying to sell MLM products or an MLM "opportunity?" It wasn't their fault. How could something “legal” engage in such deception and cause so much harm?
Ever had a person try to recruit you into a multi-level marketing (aka MLM) company? One of the first things they say is, "It's not a pyramid scheme." What is a pyramid scheme? How are they disguised? Are MLM companies pyramid schemes?
"Business opportunity." "Full time pay for part time work." We have clarified in our first two episodes that MLMs are not direct selling. So what are they?
"This is a direct selling business opportunity." Is it really? In this episode we continue to investigate direct selling and whether multi-level marketing (MLM) really is direct selling.
