MOTM #701: Is Online Business Just an MLM?

Monday, January 26th, 2026

In an MLM (or any pyramid scheme for that matter) most people are losing money, and only those at the very top stand to gain anything. Is online business the same thing? It certainly can be! When money is made by selling the idea of money, shit gets sticky. And while financial success isn’t guaranteed when you start an online business, there’s always an opportunity to build something better than everything that’s come before.

Let’s chat.

Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, deepen their impact, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.
