<prompt> Human: USA Is network marketing a reliable way to make money or is it just a scam because it falls under the category of MLM pyramid schemes, etc.?  <response>: You might be able to make money if you are really good at guilting your friends and family into buying things from you. You also have to avoid any scheme that requires you to pre-purchase inventory, give-aways, and demonstration items Im pretty sure they all do though.
