A pyramid scheme is also called MLM or Multi Level Marketing. There are some MLM's that are not schemes... but there are several that are close.

The idea of an MLM is that you don't do the selling, you recruit others to do it for you. Then you make a percentage off what they sell. You may not make any money until you have at least a few recruits who are "active" meaning they have recruits.

I also did Mary Kay, and it was kind of the same thing. A big push to recruit, even more than to sell.

I do know a guy who is making quite a bit at an MLM (Monavie- which is a fabulous product) but they are really few and far between.
