Although I do agree that some MLM companies have ponzi-like compensation plans where the vast majority of one's income comes from bonuses primarily derived from the fee other people pay to join the company or from the sale of ridiculously inflated products/services, it is not fair to put them ALL in the same category as ponzi schemes. Some of them offer good products and fair compensation plans, heck Warren Buffet bought 3 of those companies, I think Pampered chef is one of them. The key is to do your research thoroughly or becoming a premium member in communities like http://bizoppedia.com where you will be introduced to carefully researched business opportunities well before the majority of people hears about them. I think most people here will vehemently answer NO to your question, that they do not participate in ponzi schemes (even if they do lol) It’s a bit inaccurate to bundle up all MLMs with ponzi schemes.

No one I've known who got involved in them ever got rich, and they only ended up disappointed after pestering other people to sign up. Chances are greater you'll annoy people than get a bunch signed up, which is just another reason pyramid schemes don't work. Some people go from one right to another, and it's like, didn't they learn their lesson last time? And no, social security is not a Ponzi scheme, it's a government program that will probably end up being an epic fail. But really, the republicans are engaging in the chain letter argument claiming social security is a giant chain letter, while the democrats are engaging in yet another chain lette argument claiming it is not. Both sides need to shut it already. No, I don’t believe in them. No one I’ve known who got involved in them ever got rich, and they only ended up disappointed after pestering other people to sign up.

But other than that, my answer is no. You are correct in that Ponzi schemes only involve money and signing up people. Pyramid schemes involves something of value besides singing up people and money.
