Overview: The difference between a legitimate Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) business model and a pyramid scheme is that in MLM, real products are being sold to real people whilst in a pyramid scheme you make all of your money from the people that you recruit; your downline. What has happened is that because pyramid schemes have been outlawed, many have come back disguised as MLM. This has created an intense feeling of distaste and hatred due to the fact that so many people have now lost money participating in such programmes. In reality most MLM programmes are just pyramid schemes in disguise.
