"Pyramid Scheme" and "Scams!"

I sometimes get the response "I'm not interested in pyramid schemes" or better yet "oh, it's a scam!".  To be honest with you, I felt the same way about relationship marketing/MLM/Network Marketing...(or whatever else you want to call it) when I was first introduced to it. The first company I got into, I paid my $500 signup fee, went to all the local training events, held my weekly meetings, met a lot of successful people in the business, but when I had questions nobody wanted to help me.  Though I made money, I struggled in that business and soon gave up.

 I later found a business as a Team Beachbody Coach, which I am still currently doing.  Not only did it allow me to create good income straight through the gate, but it helped me lose over 50lbs.!  I pay a $14.95 monthly fee which includes two websites and access to a boatload of info for marketing.  Everyone in the business is an extreme help.  The only problem I have with this business is that it is easy to sell the products, but difficult to find others who are willing to get in shape and improve their way of live and market Beachbody products.

It wasn't till recent that I was introduced by an old friend to a company that was brand new...One24.  I was blown away by its linear compensation plan and how easy the company had made it for ANYONE to succeed.  Due to the linear system, within 14 days I had over 1200 new representatives placed in my downline...by other reps!!!  The great thing about One24 is that the work is done for you...all you need is one person a month, and if you have more great, you can stack them in your downline.  It is not a get rich quick system.  It is designed as a 24 month retirement plan.  You are allowed ONLY one GREEN ticket a month, so there is never one person signing up a boatload of prospects.  It is designed so EVERYONE gets an equal opportunity.  The best part is, at the end of the month the GOLD RUSH opens up.  It is then that all the unused GREEN tickets from the company turn into GOLD tickets and ANYONE can sign up more reps while it is active.  Within my first week I had seen income, it wasn't much, but I saw results and I loved it!

Back to the "pyramid schemes" and scams!".  Look back to when you were a child and your mom went to Tupperware parties or bought Avon from a friend...even now beauty companies like Arbonne and Mary Kay are exploding!  THESE ARE ALL RELATIONSHIP MARKETING COMPANIES!!! Or as some refer to them as "pyramid schemes". Companies like all named above compensate their independent sales reps for marketing and selling their products. Just like a car salesman...you sell a car, you get a commission! You sell products like NatraBurst from One24 ...and find others to do the same...you get compensated. One24 retains 50% of their sales and distributes the other 50% to their reps as their commissions and incentives.





I'd like to conclude by saying, if you are skeptical with beginning a MLM company it is completely natural.  If it were illegal, there wouldn't be so many companies out there doing it.  There would also not be so many millionaires cashing in on them.

Some get it, some don't. We do...
