Hierarchy Business/Pyramid/MLM - A job that looks cool that is not so cool

 If a stranger you just met on grocery shop or any other public places like kid’s school, library and makes an attempt to talk about a business that doesn’t need any qualifications but can make you

  1. Financial freedom 
  2. Be your own boss
  3. Passive income that you will earn more than your primary job
  4. You can work at your free time
  5. eCources, Seminars, Marketing, Products etc

If you hear one or more of these words, you definitely are talking to a MLM Multi Level Marketing/Pyramid/ Hierarchy Business personal.

Since MLM is banned in most countries, they are using a loophole to sell products and since you are considered partners of the company, you are made to believe, you are selling your own products. Usually these products don’t have a brand, more expensive, but the motivation is it’s your product. The other main component is adding more people under you and that’s why the name pyramid. But the catch is that the entire world’s population will be consumed within level 15. Only the people at the top most few layers will make money. The rest of the 90% are only going to loose money.

If you come across these, I would highly recommend you go through this article by US Federal Trade commission Consumer Advice https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/multi-level-marketing-businesses-pyramid-schemes
