Multi-Level Marketing, while similar to a pyramid scheme, is not at all the same. The major difference stems from the fact that in Multi-Level Marketing, there is an actual product being sold, and that the benefits of sale reach multiple people. In a pyramid scheme, the goal is only to take money without providing a product or benefit.
MLM (multi level marketing) should never be confused with "pyramid schemes". MLM is a legitimate business model using direct selling methods while a pyramid scheme creates no return on investment.
