Why Legendary Marketer Launched The Confidence Challenge

Why Legendary Marketer Launched a Confidence Challenge

Elevating Our Core: How Confidence Integrates with Marketing Mastery

At Legendary Marketer we don't just launch marketers...we launch leaders.

If you’ve caught wind of our latest move, you might be wondering: “Has Legendary Marketer thrown traditional marketing education out the window?” Especially with our new Confidence Challenge taking center stage.

Is this the end of marketing as we know it?

That almost needs the DUH, DUH, DUH sound after it for full dramatic effects.

We haven’t abandoned our core mission; we’re amplifying it.

Confidence isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s crucial. It’s the jet fuel for every strategy, tool, and tactic we teach.

Why the focus on confidence? Simple. We’ve observed a gap, a lot of brilliant minds with access to top-tier marketing knowledge, frozen by hesitation and doubt. What good is a playbook if you never run the plays?

This isn’t a pivot away from marketing education, it’s an enhancement.

By integrating the Confidence Challenge, we’re addressing the silent killer of potential: fear.

We’re giving our students the keys to unlock not just doors of opportunity but to swing them open with authority.

A Strategy Rooted in Real Needs

The digital marketing landscape is not just about understanding complex tools and strategies, it’s about executing them with certainty and impact. Without a solid foundation of confidence, even the most well-equipped marketers can find themselves hesitant to implement what they’ve learned. Our Confidence Challenge is designed to bridge this gap, ensuring that our students are not only skilled but also ready and able to lead and innovate.

Empowering Marketers, Enhancing Careers

Our goal is to enhance the effectiveness of our training by ensuring that every marketer we train is not only knowledgeable but also confident in applying that knowledge. This approach goes beyond traditional education by equipping our students to take decisive action, enhancing their impact in the marketing world.

We’re not here to just throw skills at you, we’re here to ensure you take what you learn, implement, and step into the best entrepreneur badass version of yourself.

The Bottom Line

We are still the Legendary Marketer you trust to provide comprehensive marketing education.

With the introduction of the Confidence Challenge, we are building on our commitment to deliver an education that empowers our students not just to learn but to lead.

This new initiative is crafted to help our students break through the barriers that have held them back, enabling them to utilize their skills fully and confidently.

Are you ready to step up and redefine what it means to be a successful digital marketer and entrepreneur?

See how the Confidence Challenge can level up your own mindset and business!

You Got Questions, We Got Answers About The 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge

Your Questions Answered

The 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge - Your Questions Answered & Find Out What's Going On With Legendary Marketer

Dave really out did himself with this one…and below I answer your burning questions about the NEW Learn Launch Lead 5-Day Challenge from Legendary Marketer. Here you’ll learn exactly what’s going on with Legendary Marketer and why you should consider checking out this new challenge.

You can’t be proud of your business if you don’t have full understanding of how MARKETING, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND DIGITAL SKILLS WORK.

This is what we do here.

This is what we’ve done since 2017.

And we just changed the whole dang education industry with the amount of education we provide in the 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge…because we’re practically giving it away for only $5.

There’s ZERO FLUFF in this challenge.

It’s a big ol’ plate of meat and potatoes.

Remember – EVERY SINGLE BUSINESS needs marketing.

They need an online presence.

We teach you the skills, we teach you how to build and monetize an online presence of your own in any niche, for any product.

You’ll be empowered. You’ll build confidence. You CAN DO THIS.

So lets dive into the questions regarding our new 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge…

What are the differences between the previous 15-Day Challenge and the NEW 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge?

OH man…let me list a FEW of the differences…

We go over how to pick a niche in an area you love right on Day 1
We include an entire day on Faceless content so you can get online without as much worry
We include an entire day on content creation, planning, along with homework to take action!
We know how important mindset is. Many of us need more support with getting out of our own way, so we weaved MINDSET throughout each day of the challenge.

AND THAT’S JUST THE START…

Dave poured his decades of experience along with the feedback from YOU and created a completely new challenge to HELP you LEARN, GET LAUNCHED, and step into LEADING.

If I have the previous 15-Day Challenge, can I buy the new Learn Launch Lead challenge?

YES, this is a completely separate product and experience.

If you own the 15 day challenge, you still have access to it. However, our new challenge, for $5, is a remastered, beefed up challenge to help our students get exactly what they need to get launched. As you can see from the first question above it’s JAM PACKED with a focus on CONTENT CREATION! You can’t sell a darn thing online without traffic – which means you need to know how to create content. This challenge goes into Faceless Marketing as well!

Does the new Learn Launch Lead Challenge cover digital products?

Like I said…You can’t sell a darn thing – even a digital product until you know how to market it.

Shoot…if you are still stuck, scrolling and consuming more than creating, if you’re barely taking action, and just hoping that saying you have a digital product will get you sales…you need a refocus.

Our Learn Launch Lead Challenge gives you the opportunity to GET FOCUSED on what MATTERS at the start of a business. We don’t want you to launch with a small vision. We want you to launch your business with a long term, long lasting business you can be proud of to share with friends and family. Learn the basics and you can have a variety of streams of income as you scale – including digital products.

Can I meet with an advisor during the Learn Launch Lead Challenge?

YES – on your first login you will pick your path – Advisor led or Self led. We do have data that the VAST majority that actually COMPLETE our education, did meet with an advisor. If you would like that added support and sounding board, choose Advisor led. It’s 100% up to you and available in the new challenge.

Does it come with MRR?

Ya know what TRUE MRR is – MONTHLY RECURRING REVENUE

And that’s the MRR we consider a long term viable, stream of income that you should add to your business. If you’re talking about anything that forces you to buy something in order to resell it, pyramid feel to it – you won’t find that here.

As you SCALE your business adding streams of income such as Monthly Recurring Revenue is FANTASTIC.

BUT, you can’t get to that point unless you have the roots, the skills, and the confidence. You gotta get launched and grow a following first. That’s what we do here. Our Learn Launch Lead Challenge teaches you what you need to GET STARTED.

Will you still sell the 15 Day Challenge?

We believe in our new challenge so much, we are no longer offering the 15 Day challenge to new students.

I’m seeing products online that don’t offer a refund – will Legendary still offer refunds?

YOU BET! We have and always believe in creating a space that can be trusted and value our students FIRST. The 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge comes with a 30-Day money back refund period. I mean, it’s wild to think of purchasing anything without a refund period attached.

How do I get my hands on the 5-Day Learn Launch Lead Challenge?

Login to your back office, Hover over CHALLENGE at the top and select 5-Day Challenge and buy it right there for INSTANT ACCESS. Remember it’s only 5 bucks.

Actions Steps To Improve Our Affiliate Program For Our Next Chapter Of Growth

March 31, 2024 by David Sharpe

Actions Steps To Improve Our Affiliate Program For Our Next Chapter Of Growth

Each year, the leadership team at Legendary Marketer evaluates the previous year’s wins and identifies areas we can improve upon. We strongly believe that a company that doesn’t continue to focus on improvement, growth, and vision will become stagnant.

We believe this constant self-reflection, self-awareness, and evaluation process has been the #1 reason behind our growth.

It’s also what has equipped us to provide excellent education and maintain high satisfaction amongst our customers… plus have a percentage of our customers choose to share our education with others as affiliates without us asking them to.

We strive for a new level of excellence each year and we constantly evaluate and refine our operations to ensure they align with our core values.

Recent events have prompted us to take a deeper look at our affiliate program, not as a reaction, but as a proactive step to reinforce our commitment to integrity and quality.

Since the inception of our affiliate program, we have maintained strict compliance guidelines to ensure that our brand is represented ethically and accurately. Despite our efforts, we have identified areas where some affiliates may not be fully aligned with these guidelines.

We experienced a rush of new affiliates over the last year and now realize many did not actually go through our compliance training nor did they have the marketing experience needed to properly align with our values.

To address this, we are restructuring our affiliate program to be more exclusive. This means that we will be ending our current affiliate program until further notice and no longer accepting new affiliates at this time. If you have a current active affiliate account you may continue to use it until we re-launch our new affiliate program at which time you’ll need to reapply. However, we strongly encourage you to complete the compliance training in your affiliate back office (if you have not) and ensure your marketing follows our compliance guidelines and all legal requirements.

Additional questions about our compliance guidelines may be directed to: compliance@legendarymarketer.com. Questions about online business legal requirements should be directed to your legal counsel.

Moving forward, all affiliates, under our new program, will need to apply and undergo a thorough review process which will be done in coordination with 3rd party legal and compliance experts to ensure all active affiliates are aligned with our values and expectations. This will include a thorough review of social media accounts, funnels, and overall marketing practices. There will also be additional steps placed to ensure all affiliates actually complete our compliance training and agree to adhere to our policies set in place by our legal team.

We will begin with accounts that have not have any activity for 90 days OR MORE. With active accounts, there will be overlap, and rankings and commissions will not be affected.

Our goal is not just to continue to grow, but to grow responsibly. We want our community to be a place where integrity and transparency are paramount. By taking these steps, we are reaffirming our commitment to you, our community, and to the values that drive us forward.

As we navigate these changes, we’re even more excited about the future. We believe that by strengthening our affiliate program, we will not only enhance our brand’s reputation further but also provide our affiliates with greater opportunities for success. How will that be? With the updated guidelines, it now will be an exclusive community of like-minded, ethical marketers who ultimately want to be a positive light in the online space.

Thank you for your continued support as we improve our operations and programs to an even higher standard.

To further explain this, Dave shares this during Wake Up Legendary….take a listen!

Setting The Record Straight: Addressing False Claims About Legendary Marketer

March 27, 2024 by David Sharpe

Setting the Record Straight - Addressing False Claims About Legendary Marketer

Recently, we were the subject of a negative marketing story that included misleading claims made by 3 individuals and a self-proclaimed “expert”.

We want to take this opportunity to clarify the misconceptions and deceptive claims of this story and reaffirm our commitment to the tagline that’s been written on the front of LegendaryMarketer.com since the beginning of our company’s existence: Online Marketing Delivered Simply and With Integrity.

Our goal with every course and piece of education we release to our customers is to introduce and teach digital marketing skills to everyday people looking to build an online business or upgrade their current business with digital marketing strategies.

As we continue to revisit our commitment to ethical positive marketing, and being the example for our students, Dave has this message above.

Now speaking directly to our students, it’s our ultimate goal for you to create an online community you love, in a niche you’re excited about, and can amplify positivity in the online space. You attract what you put out, and negative slanderous marketing efforts will bring a community with the same focus.

This is one of the few things shared in the article that we agree on – everyone should do their research before purchasing any product or education.

We recommend you take a strong look at anyone resorting to negative and attacking marketing tactics and if you want to be associated with those types of tactics online.

We want to assure our community and potential students that we remain committed to providing high-quality education and resources in digital marketing.

We have thoroughly researched these claims and have proof to refute them. We encourage anyone interested in our program to reach out, ask questions, and make informed decisions about their education and business pursuits.

As always…Stay Legendary.

Your Weekly Legend for March 10th-16th

Today I was bitten.

Yep, I got a little story for ya…

Picture this – I’m sitting down, ready to write today’s email for all of you.

I’m in the zone, ideas are flowing, but nothing is set yet.

I should also mention, I have a 5 month old lab puppy (who’s at the age where training is key), along with a couple older dogs.

Currently we are focused on my puppy not jumping. Our trainer told us to shake a bottle of rocks because it produces a loud noise he hates and knows he’s doing something wrong.

My daughter walked in and the puppy, who was chillin, pops up and starts jumping on her.

I shake the bottle.

And like a frickin movie, my older bulldog out of nowhere jumps in the air from the side of me….and BAM!

Her mouth is around my arm and for the first time ever…I’ve been bitten by a dog.

Luckily no blood was drawn, just some bruises.

But suddenly, I’m thrown for a loop.

I’m nursing a sore arm, my focus is shot, and writer’s block is hitting me like a ton of bricks.

Distractions are everywhere, and I’m seriously considering just throwing in the towel for the day.

I mean, I’ve got a pretty solid excuse, right?

But then it hit me.

This is exactly the kind of situation that tests our commitment.

It’s easy to show up and do the work when everything’s going smoothly.

But what about when things get tough?

The more we find excuses to not show up, the more our business (and our goals) will struggle.

We can’t equal easy to right.

Showing up to our business…every single day…

Takes commitment.

So, I powered through.

I figured out a way to get it done, even with a bruised arm and ego.

And you know what?

It felt pretty darn good.

This little incident reminded me that perseverance is key.

In digital marketing, and in life, there will always be unexpected “bulldog bites” that try to throw you off course.

But it’s how you respond to those challenges that really counts.

There will always be things thrown at us…

Are you going to focus on excuses?

Are you going to reason why you’re giving up or why you won’t make changes to your business when you know it’s the right thing to do?

Are you choosing the lazy approach?

Or are you going to figure out how to show up, adjust, grow, and continue to push forward?

So, here’s to showing up, even when it’s easier not to.

Here’s to doing what’s right for a long lasting business – even it forces you out of your comfort zone.

And hey, if a spicy bulldog can’t stop me, what’s your excuse?

Keep pushing forward!

As always…

Stay Legendary,

JoAnn

Happy New Year!

It’s that time of year where most of us are doing some level of reflecting on the past 12 months and what we want out of the next year.

Are you possibly thinking about regrets? The what if’s? The could have’s?

Well…the past is done.

We can spend our time focused on what we have zero control over at this point, or we can dive into what we need to do in 2024 to turn our “What if’s” into ABSO-FREAKIN-LUTELY.

What if you made 2024 the year of YOU?

I saw a recent post that asked to name the most important people in your life, and if you didn’t list yourself…you should.

What if this was the year where YOU’RE the main event!

It’s time to kick things up a notch and make this year all about what YOU want to do.

Go after the goals YOU want to achieve.

Step into the greatness YOU’VE been wanting.

And hey, if someone says that’s being selfish, just give them the ol’ eye roll.

Because guess what?

That eye roll, that negative comment they are throwing at you is more about THEIR limiting beliefs.

It’s more about them being the crab in the bucket, trying to keep you down in the hole with them.

Remember, when you prioritize you, when you gain new skills and an updated mindset, it’s not just a win for you.

It’s like you’re the superhero in your own comic book, ready to help out your family.

When you’re at your best, you make everything and everyone around you better too.

Basically, making 2024 the year of YOU truly benefits your loved ones as well.

Our final Best of 2023 Wake Up Legendary is tomorrow, January 1st with an amazing interview with Chelsea Ouimet.

She talks alot about finally prioritizing herself and only keeping people in her circle that charge her up instead of vacuuming her goals and energy away.

ESCAPE BUSINESS DEATH

Stopped learning?

Think you know everything?

Your business will die.

Yikes, I’m whipping out some strong language on a Sunday.

But it’s with the best intentions.

Recently in a conversation with Dave, we were chatting about the importance of ALWAYS being open to growth and learning.

The day one decides they know everything and becomes closed minded is the day their business begins to die.

Learning is like the sunrise – it has to happen daily, and each day offers a new spectrum of colors to be amazed by.

The moment we think we’ve seen all the colors of the sunrise is the moment our businesses start to miss out on the beautiful hues of growth.

It’s the moment we start sitting in the dark.

It’s the moment we’re stuck looking for all the glory and results, with little to no effort.

We want change done for us.

That same person who just wants a result without the effort is most likely… skipping days of the challenge

deciding their way “is better”

skipping opportunities to learn

And hopping around from online guru to guru, searching for someone to provide the magic and create instant success FOR them.

I can bet with pretty high certainty that the same person is sitting around throwing out the word scam,, saying it didn’t work for them, and ultimately…

STAYING STUCK.

Continued learning is key to continued growth and I don’t know about you, but my goal is to be a better version of myself than the day before.

So what did I do last week to keep to this goal?

Among other things, I listened to the following webinars:

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome And Self Doubt
How To Grow Deeper Connections With Your Audience
Content Creation: How To Grow and Monetize An Instagram Account
A Masterclass In Using ChatGPT For Digital Marketing
An inspirational story of what determination, grit, and consistency truly looks like to grow as an entrepreneur

WHAT A WEEK OF CONTINUED GROWTH!

Now, you might be thinking, “JoAnn, that’s fantastic, but what about me?”

Guess what? You’ve got the golden ticket too!

You’ve had access all along.

Ya see, this is what was covered and taught during each episode of Wake Up Legendary last week.

Monday: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome And Self Doubt
Tuesday: How To Grow Deeper Connections With Your Audience
Wednesday: Content Creation: How To Grow and Monetize An Instagram Account
Thursday: A Masterclass In Using ChatGPT For Digital Marketing
Friday: An inspirational story of what determination, grit, and consistency truly looks like to grow as an entrepreneur

Any of those topics spark your interest?

Would any of those topics help grow your knowledge and business?

Heck yeah!

I want you to take advantage of every resource available to you.

I’m practically leaping with excitement for you to dive into this treasure trove.

I’ve even heard some whispers, “Wake Up Legendary is just students talking.”

And you know what?

It sure is.

Because they’re the heartbeats of our community, learning, implementing, teaching, and now providing you a free masterclass in marketing and entrepreneurship with Dave.

It’s absolutely beautiful.

It doesn’t matter their background, it doesn’t matter what niche they’re in.

I want to invite you to LOOK DEEPER.

Look at the bigger picture that’s being presented to you.

All that matters is the absolute GOLD that’s provided to help YOU grow your own skillset, mindset, and online business.

Even if you can’t catch the episode live.

We broadcast the replays right there on Facebook, Youtube, Spotify, & Apple Podcasts.

Listen in the car, while in the shower and getting ready for your day.

You deserve to get unstuck and tiny actions forward will help.

Wow, I have to say, you all are simply incredible!

Over the last two weeks, I’ve had the privilege of leading not one, but TWO LIVE “Decade In A Day” Webinars.

The energy, dedication, and heartfelt stories I’ve witnessed from our community have been nothing short of inspiring.

We had nearly 2000 passionate students join us over the last two Fridays, and during one unforgettable moment, Dave asked a simple yet profound question: “What’s the reason you’re doing this?”

The responses, like the ones below, left us all speechless:

“I want to be the mom I was to my kids before my divorce.”

“I want to have time again and not be just working or tired when it comes to time with my spouse.”

“I want to stop spending all my time working hard for a boss that doesn’t care.”

“I want slower evenings with my loved ones.”

“I want to travel and not have so much worry in my life.”

“I want to improve my mental health.”

Dang indeed…

These are not just words; these are raw, authentic desires that come from deep within.

It’s this vulnerability, this honesty, that makes our Legendary Marketer community so incredible.

We’re not just here to learn digital marketing skills…

We’re here to support each other in achieving our dreams and transforming our lives.

In our community, when you open up, you find a network of like-minded individuals who not only understand your aspirations but are also eager to help you achieve them.

October 1st – 7th, 2023

Your Weekly Legend for October 1st-7th

Aloha!

This week I’m in Hawaii enjoying a change of scenery, perspective, and new experiences with my family.

For weeks I’ve been talking with my teenagers about swimming with Manta Rays.

I’ve sent them videos…

I’ve shared my experience…

Yet, both kids had worrying thoughts enter their mind…being in the ocean at night, pitch black water, 12 foot rays swimming inches from your body.

Fear was clearly present.

As a parent, I prepped and armed them with information and encouragement as much as possible.

I educated.

I shared experiences.

I reassured them.

But ultimately, I can’t throw them in the water or push them off the side of the boat and make them take action.(Could you imagine, a crazy mom chucking their kids into dark waters)

I can’t force them to step through the fear.

They’ll have to be the ones to make the final decision to literally jump off the side of the boat, swim in the dark waters and float as large manta rays come up close and personal.

No matter how much we talk about it, in the end…only they are responsible for the outcome.

As I sit here on the patio enjoying my Kona coffee and hearing the abundance of birds as the sun rises, I was reminded how the same goes for you.

Right now, as you read this you may be…

Fearing the what ifs… (what if I fail, what if I can’t figure out the tech, what if…)

The “What if’s” fill your thoughts.

Just as the “what ifs” were filling my kids thoughts.

But here’s the kicker!

You’re standing at a crossroads. You have a choice.

You can either muster the courage to jump off the boat and dive into this exciting adventure, conquering your fears along the way.

or…

You can choose to stay onboard, watching others embark on this incredible journey.

Always stuck wondering what would have happened if you didn’t hold back.

The choice is yours.

Everyone on the manta ray tour had a paid ticket, no refunds once you were on the boat.

How did it end?

I jumped in first, and let them fully decide.

I looked back and one after the other, I saw them jump in.

I will also share, one lady just couldn’t muster up the courage to enter the water.

The crew was doing all they could to encourage her.

She stayed on the boat and watched the rest of us.

As our adventure ended and we were gathering our things, I heard her say to her husband – I should have at least tried to go in.

Dang…the regret had already set in.

We can’t escape fears, but we can choose to confront them head-on.

I challenge you today to identify the narrative you’re telling yourself.

Is it keeping you stuck or are you swimming right through that fear and taking in every ounce of the experience?

Here at Legendary we’ve been around many years, taught many students, and see lives changed daily.

We are so pumped and excited to teach you, share with you, guide you, be available to answer all your questions, and have every resource available for you to thrive…but only you can be the one to jump, start swimming, and take real action.

You’re jumping into an amazing ocean of water with unlimited options to design your business, your time, your future just as you want it be.

You just gotta to recognize the fear…and take action through it.

Looking for daily inspiration to help you continue to take action?

Wake Up Legendary is waiting for you Monday – Friday.

As always…

Stay Legendary,

Your Weekly Legend for September 17th - 23rd

Dave had such a great reminder this week…

We can’t help you grow, fix, pivot, adjust anything in your business unless you’ve actually taken action.

“We can’t help you from the bench.”

Sitting on the sidelines watching others take action, isn’t going to help any of us get where we want to go.

This exact discussion has come up a few times on Wake Up Legendary this week.

But there’s one problem with this…

Many of us are asking ourselves “Well how do I get called in to play?”

We’re sitting on the bench learning, wanting big goals, big dreams, big results.

But our desire to feel wanted is stronger.

We’re waiting to be chosen.

Our internal training to wait to be picked to play is actually in control and calling the shots.

Guys this isn’t PE class.

And we don’t need to ever wait for someone else to decide we’re ready.

As we build our own business…

No more waiting for a boss to give us a raise.

No more waiting for a manager to tell us what to do next.

No more waiting for the coach to tell us it’s our turn to play.

We never have to wait to be chosen to play again.

We never have to wait for someone to say “I pick you. It’s your turn.”

Ya know why?

Because the only way to win and actually turn your education into a thriving online business is to decide to pick yourself.

When we start looking for someone out there to do that for us…

We end up buying some icky, crappy product in the DMs and believing said “gurus” with big promises.

When they actually have little to no experience. (Their whole marketing “strategy” is DM’ing people with big promises and usually fake accounts…yikes.)

All because we felt “chosen.”

This is where all the uncomfortable talk about self worth and mindset come in, so I will keep it simple today.

Today choose yourself to go in and play.

You’re the boss.

You’re the coach.

You decide the rules for your business…no one else.

You’re the one that holds the power, holds the key, holds your future.

If you’re sitting and watching everyone else, waiting for your turn…

STOP.

Right now is your turn.

Grab it.

Jump in.

Take action.

Today…choose yourself and get off the bench.

Because you’re frickin’ worth it.

As always…

Stay Legendary,

JoAnn

WHAT

WEEK…

I’m still fired up!

On Friday I was asked this question:

“This is beyond valuable, why don’t more people talk about this single bonus more because it’s worth so much?”

I thought to myself…HECK YEAH it is!

What is this I speak of?

On Friday, with nearly 1000 students gathered on a live teaching webinar, cohosted by yours truly, this question was asked.

Every couple of weeks, we pick a new niche with new offers and build out everything, including a content plan.

We take all the skills taught in the Blueprints and put them into action.

We break it all down and demonstrate how the skills we teach are used in all areas of digital marketing regardless of niche or offer.

We poured our hearts, marketing wisdom, and experience into this incredible group, and the energy was electrifying!

If you’re a Blueprints student and haven’t attended Decade In A Day (or haven’t in a while) I highly suggest you revisit it!

But that’s just the beginning.

Our interviews on Wake Up Legendary are nothing short of mind-blowing.

Day after day, there is so much value given, it’s like a masterclass in entrepreneurship and marketing.

Thursday’s guests took the excitement to a whole new level!

If you crave inspiration from genuine, hardworking, and heart-centered individuals, then you cannot afford to miss Thursday’s interview with Rodney & Amy.

It’s a massive dose of motivation that will leave you fired up to conquer your dreams.

If you don’t know these two…it’s time that you do!

RUN to that interview.

And here’s the cherry on top – Legendary Marketer has once again been recognized as one of the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Businesses in America.

We’re absolutely beaming with pride for this remarkable achievement!

Gone are the days when a formal university education was the only path to success.

Today, we’re living in an era where credibility and authority are built on real skills, not just degrees.

E-Learning isn’t just a trend; it’s a necessity.

At Legendary Marketer, our students are gaining practical, valuable, and transferable marketing skills that will serve them for years, even decades to come.

We’re not just another “guru” or mentor who disappears overnight or hops around from offer to offer.

We proudly declare that we are a Leadership Factory, dedicated to your growth and success.

So many marketers, course creators, and coaches got their first introduction to the online space right here.

Their first realization that something MORE is possible for them as they go through the challenge.

Proud of their beginnings, their journey, and their new future.

And you, regardless of what stage you’re in, in your journey…

We are here to guide, teach, and inspire you as well.

I’ve also had many of you reach out asking if you can share this news with your communities…

The answer…ABSOLUTELY!

Below are various links you can use to share the Inc. 5000 news:

Check out our insightful article and blog post here: READ & SHARE BLOG

And for a visual treat, watch and share the electrifying announcement video here: YOUTUBE LINK FOR EASY SHARING

Don’t stop there!

Spread the excitement by sharing our Facebook post here: Find The Facebook Post Here

We’re focused on what’s to come and will continue to revolutionize the way education and success are achieved.

Join us in celebrating these remarkable milestones.

Thank you for being a part of our Legendary journey!

“The best is yet to come.”

As always…

Legendary Marketer named to the 2023 Inc. 5000 list

September 7, 2023 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

For the 2nd year in a row, Legendary Marketer Appears on the Inc. 5000, Ranking No. 30 in Fastest Growing Education Companies In America

Inc. has released their 2023 Inc 5000 list of fastest growing companies in America. This year, it revealed that Legendary Marketer moved up over 1000 spots from last year in the overall ranks and up over 30 spots in the education niche, demonstrating continued growth, trust, and value within their customer base.

The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. Legendary Marketer, in its 7th year of business continues to deliver education simply and with integrity.

“We’ve built more than just a company; we’ve created a team, a community – one bound together by the shared vision of transforming lives, unlocking potential, and revealing that building legacies is indeed possible.” – David Sharpe, CEO of Legendary Marketer

With the continued accolades that Legendary Marketer receives in creating quality, alternative education of transferable skills in the online space, a deeper story of our founder and CEO, David Sharpe not only continues to prove determination, grit, and consistency are crucial to entrepreneurial success but that culture and community are key to longevity.

David Sharpe has built a company that is 100% remote, with employees and contractors from all around the globe. Now with over 200 employees and contractors, Legendary Marketer continues to prove that focusing on hiring qualified talent over physical location as a requirement is the secret weapon to building a team culture that is unmatched. It’s a company that is built on integrity and provides real solutions and strategies for the company’s students.

Since March 2020, Legendary Marketer has interviewed a successful student from their program nearly every single weekday, with over 800 success stories and a waiting list of countless new legends waiting to tell their story.

Legendary Marketer truly is the leadership and entrepreneurship factory it claims to be.

Thousands of normal, everyday folks, around the globe have turned their mess into a message, their struggles into their strengths, and are learning new skills to answer the call of the need for digital skills.

They’re the real legends of Legendary Marketer.

Most of the traditional education systems train people how to become employees on the old, clunky, outdated hamster wheel. But at Legendary Marketer, students are learning real, valuable, transferable skills that will benefit them for years, even decades. And Legendary Marketer is poised to continue their growth as the E-learning age continues to expand.

Legendary Marketer and David Sharpe have proven to be the pioneer in high-quality, alternative education of digital marketing skills and will continue to dominate the space for years to come.

To experience Legendary Marketer for yourself, we recommend enrolling in their flagship 15-Day Online Business Builder Challenge: https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com

Scroll hole…

I almost spit out my coffee when I heard it.

It’s so funny yet sooooo true.

I’ve been a victim of the scroll hole.

In fact, I see it as the enemy.

For me, it’s the killer of focus.

The killer of creativity.

The killer of doing my own income producing skills.

It’s the time suck that I’m pretty sure all of us fall victim to at some point.

The scroll hole will bury your goals, dreams, and focus.

What’s the scroll hole you ask?

It’s the endless scrolling and consuming of content on our social media accounts.

And it usually ends up with a massive chunk of time of our day completely wasted.

Leaving us with a confused brain and a massive dose of self doubt.

When we’re watching everyone else, it’s easy to start comparing.

When we’re watching everyone else, it’s easy to forget what actions WE should be doing to grow our own business.

When we’re watching everyone else, our education, our goals, our business all get placed on hold.

But JoAnn…this is digital marketing!

I have to stay in touch with what’s happening and trending…

You’re right…and you’re wrong.

It all depends on how you scroll…and you can’t use it as an excuse to endlessly scroll social media each day.

Scroll with a focus and goal for the day and set a timer if you have to.

Ask yourself these questions beforehand:

What specifically are you researching?

What goal do you hope to achieve from the research?

Are you taking notes of your findings and then implementing them?

Once complete….stop the scroll.

THEN IMPLEMENT

This is the only way to have productive use of scrolling.

Are there going to be times where you just want to lose yourself and scroll your feed…sure.

Just be aware that it’s probably not helping your education or new business.

It’s just a time suck.

Plus staying out of the scroll hole will actually bring out more creativity, more authentic content and you won’t look like you’re trying to be like everyone else online.

Please go watch last Tuesday’s episode of Wake Up Legendary with a former Doctor of Audiology.

Gwen is the one that shared the phrase “scroll hole” and she and Dave dove into all things MLM, mindset, and what it truly means to be on an entrepreneurial journey.

Your Weekly Legend for July 9th-15th

I witnessed a really cool moment this week.

As I was talking with one of our guests prior to the show, she shared something absolutely beautiful…

“As of this week, my husband is now home full time.”

It wasn’t just what she said, it was how she said it.

I could feel her heart bursting out of her chest.

She was filled with joy, care, and excitement for this new change within her family life.

16 months after starting this journey of building her own digital marketing business, Em’s husband got to choose to spend more time with family, more time with his spouse and no longer miss out on his kids growing up.

He got to choose time.

Here’s the thing though…

When starting out on this journey, Em’s main focus wasn’t necessarily to retire her husband or make a specific amount of money.

She first wanted to be able to homeschool her kids.

She wanted to be able to have a date night without guilt.

She wanted to end the crazy work hours her and her husband were doing and never feeling like they were getting ahead.

There was a badass version of Em waiting to be unlocked.

She knew there could be MORE for her and her family.

As her business grew, her goals did too.

As her mindset evolved, even more was revealed of what’s truly possible.

She had big dreams when she started, but also smaller goals to run for.

All of this came from a day 1 with zero followers in March of 2022.

She didn’t have a secret massive following.

She didn’t have years of marketing experience under her belt.

She was a busy mom looking for more.

More time

More freedom

More peace

Sometimes when we are wanting massive changes in our life, we forget what the start is going to look and feel like.

We all have a day 1.

We all have a period of time of zero followers.

We all have that first choice to make…to implement or sit on the sidelines and watch.

If you committed to working on your business every single day for 16 months, where do you think you’d be?

Heck if you committed to focused time everyday on your business…

Imagine what’s possible 6 months from now.

Do me a favor and think about your goals today.

Answer the questions below and make sure none of them include a dollar amount.

GO DEEPER!

What are some things you want to be able to do for yourself?

For your family?

What’s a smaller goal you can set for yourself 90 days from now?

What’s a 6 month goal?

12 month goal?

2 year goal?

Write these down and look at this each day you sit down to work on your business.

Em and Dave really dove into a ton of topics during Thursday’s episode.

Watch this interview asap.

It’s an absolute must watch!

Have you ever heard the 5 people you are around the most are the ones with the biggest influence in your life?

In your decisions…

In your mindset…

In your future…

As entrepreneur and motivational speaker, Jim Rohn shared –

“You’re the average of the five people you spend most of your time with”.

In fact, five people around you are determining your success!

Dang…your circle and who you allow in it is pretty important.

If all you hear day in and day is complaining, whining, and around those that looked at life with a glass half empty mindset…most likely you will also.

Now you find yourself working to create a real change in your life.

You’re embarking on becoming an entrepreneur or have and now growing your business.

This takes courage.

This takes grit.

This takes determination.

And getting the right people around you sure can help.

But how do you do this when everyone is “online?”

Let’s find your virtual besties!

They live in our community facebook group (just not the ones that live in your DMs)

And you know who else you have….

Dave Sharpe himself!

Your Weekly Legend for June 25th- July 1st

I saw a comment recently…

“I wish they had more “real” people on as guests on Wake Up Legendary.”

To be honest…

It kinda threw me off.

Do they think we have advanced AI conversations with bots?

Maybe they think we have hired actors?

I have watched WUL put out over 750 episodes (752 to be exact) of interviews with real students who are now digital marketers.

Maybe because no one, I mean no one can pull a new student Monday-Friday for years to even hold these types of conversations.

But beyond that, we had a guest that I think will finally fit the “real” category.

She shared that her house is usually a mess.

She shared that showering daily isn’t required to show up online.

She even shared that there was a scorpion above her head on the ceiling during the interview.

I mean, that’s pretty dang real!

Multiple times she describes herself as just a normal person, with normal issues, and not trying to be some pinterest mom that she just isn’t.

She also shared…

How she battled with self confidence.

How she created content from the beginning when she was not feeling like an expert.

How she stays consistent in a daily schedule of a busy family.

Oh and when I say share….I mean she spilled all the tea.

She gave a ton of gold bars that will immediately help you understand what this journey looks like, that you can indeed show up authentically to your audience with confidence.

This is an interview every single person in our community needs to watch.

Please head over and watch Meagan’s interview with Dave. WATCH IT NOW

She’s as real as it gets.

(And a pretty darn cool person!)

Then set your calendar alerts and don’t miss a single episode of Wake Up Legendary. We go live on Facebook Monday-Friday at 10am EST.

Every day, we have a guest that is “real.”

I promise no AI bots or hired actors!

These interviews provide absolutely massive value, community, support, knowledge, and inspiration.

Wishing you a legendary week ahead!

As always…

Stay Legendary!

Your Weekly Legend for June 11th-17th

Have you gone all in..

Like REALLY ALL IN?

I had the pleasure of sitting down for a bit with one of our Mastermind speakers.

Phil first launched his freelance digital marketing business in 2021 and he didn’t see immediate, overnight success like many think.

You see, 4 months after Phil started his education and launched his business in digital marketing he had received a few small commissions but hadn’t experienced a ton of growth or consistent income yet.

His spouse has been super supportive and was someone he can always go to as a trusted ear.

On this particular day, she was also the wake up call he needed.

He went to her and shared that he knows he can make this business work but can’t figure out what he’s missing.

He so desperately wanted a breakthrough, but couldn’t figure out what to do next.

Then his wife asked the question that changed everything…

Did you actually go through the education?

Did you actually watch ALL of the videos, take notes, and learn so you know what to implement?

Crap…

She just nailed it.

The roadblock he was facing was sitting right in front of him.

You see, he got honest with himself and realized that he had only skimmed through the education.

How can you really become great at something unless you become open to learning and growing about what it is you want to excel in?

He grabbed a few key points and implemented them but never went ALL IN.

He wanted to see massive change happen in his life, yet he hadn’t truly taken the massive action first.

He went back through the education he had access to, implemented more and more each week and suddenly he started to see his business grow.

You see, we can’t teach, give, or provide to an audience from an empty cup of knowledge and experience. (Em shared this on a recent blueprints training and I love it!)

Which also means…we gotta go all in to fill ourselves with what we need in order to serve others.

It requires us to remember we are worthy of prioritizing ourselves.

We are worthy of learning to be able to then give more to others.

We are worthy of going all in and create the change in our life that we are searching for.

Going all in means facing challenges head-on, pushing boundaries, and redefining our limitations.

Each step we take towards learning new skills opens doors to extraordinary opportunities that we could never have imagined otherwise.

Phil is now able to go live with ease, build relationships and connections in a way that is authentic and clear.

His business is booming.

And it all started once he went all in.

This conversation was one of many that happened at Mastermind.

So many in our community think those who have built successful online businesses got to that point overnight.

All of our speakers have experienced roadblocks.

All have experienced challenges, self-doubt, and fear.

Yet one thing remained consistent…

Going all in with their mindset, their actions, and their ongoing growth of knowledge are truly what’s set them up for ongoing success.

By going all in, they refused to let fear hold them back.

You can too…

What actions can you take today to go all in?

June 4th – June 10th

Your Weekly Legend for June 4th-10th

There are a few things in this world that I would love to avoid…

One of those I experienced day after day.

The torture…

The public embarrassment and judgment.

The stress.

Yes folks I’m talking about the full blown, drop to the ground kicking and screaming…

Toddler tantrum.

My second child was so masterfully explosive with his tantrums I swore he took a course on mastering momma manipulation.

Now…whether you agree with our decision at the time or not…

We quickly learned when he heard the word “no” it would immediately trigger into 10-15 minutes of sheer hell.

An uncontrollable, inconsolable toddler tantrum.

It didn’t matter where we were or what was going on around us.

So what did we start doing?

No, turned into…”Maybe Tomorrow”

Didn’t matter what the question or demand was…

Even if was a completely ridiculous answer to his equally ridiculous question…

Can I ride motorcycle momma?

Maybe tomorrow…

I want candy for breakfast

Tomorrow…

Every time he would answer ok and move on to the next thought or go back to what he was doing.

Tantrum avoided…

At some point, we were going to need to teach this kid how to appropriately handle hearing “no.”

We were avoiding it to stay comfortable.

We needed to face it…and we did.

And for those wondering how this kid is going to turn out…he’s a 4.2 16 year and has a heart of gold. (So please no parent police today)

Let me ask you…are you telling yourself the same type of lie?

I’ll launch my business next week…

I’m thinking about getting started…

I’m gettin’ ready, to get ready…(seriously see and hear this one almost daily)

Tomorrow…

Tomorrow is the box of procrastination that we’re trapped in.

It ultimately is an excuse that postpones our ambitions, our goals, and the work we have to put in to learn and build a new business.

But here’s the truth: Tomorrow never truly arrives.

It remains a distant promise, forever just out of reach.

When we say “tomorrow,” what we’re actually saying is “no” to ourselves.

We’re just hiding it behind the disguise of “soon or tomorrow” so we don’t actually feel like we quit or gave into fear.

When we tell ourselves those little lies, we’re saying no to growth, to progress, and to the incredible possibilities that await us in the world of digital marketing.

Trust me…taking action is messy, it’s scary, it might even be as scary as facing the toddler tantrum.

But at some point we all gotta stop tiptoeing around the toddler and figure it out.

We only accomplish that…by doing it.

Look at it this way…

Taking action today and the next and the next instead of pushing it off with the lies of tomorrow, soon, getting ready opens up space for the following:

Seize Opportunities: By taking action today, you open yourself up to opportunities that would have otherwise passed you by. Every day, there are potential clients, collaborations, and breakthroughs waiting for someone to seize them. Make it you.
Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Embrace the journey of continuous learning and improvement. Each day, challenge yourself to acquire new skills, stay updated with industry trends, and expand your knowledge base. Your commitment to growth will set you apart from the rest.
Learn from Mistakes: Instead of fearing failure, see it as an essential part of your growth. When you stumble, learn from the experience, adjust your course, and keep moving forward. Every mistake is a lesson in disguise.

I challenge you to recognize the words you’re telling yourself.

Are you delaying until ‘tomorrow”?

Today is an even better day to take action.

Your Weekly Legend for May 21st-27th

How are you serving your audience?

What does that even mean?

When you scroll your content plan or feed…are they all focused on selling?

Or are you serving…

When we focus on service over selling, beautiful changes happen.

A few weeks ago, we stumbled across a cute little bakery.

As we went inside, we were greeted with a warm welcome, the gentleman behind the counter was excited to explain the different items, which were his favorite and why.

He was oozing with excitement…

Confidence…

Knowledge…

And was clearly enjoying his job and day.

My family felt comfortable and couldn’t wait to try a few items.

He was never giving off used car salesman vibes.

He was sharing, conversing, and recommending instead.

As I scanned around, it was clear there were regulars…

The workers knew customers’ names and it was the cutest little community built inside this little bakery.

It was clear they came not only for the yummy treats but also for the heartfelt conversations, the advice, and the genuine care that was oozing in the air.

In a world overflowing with advertisements and sales pitches, customers are yearning for something different.

They crave authentic connections, valuable content, and solutions tailored to their needs.

Building a digital marketing business is no different.

This is why we gotta stop trying to sell and focus on serving.

But what do I talk about?

This is where your business plan is crucial.

Your business plan will reveal a full understanding of your target audience, diving deep into their desires, challenges, and aspirations.

Armed with this knowledge, you can now craft compelling stories, engaging content, and useful resources designed to serve, educate, and inspire.

When you dive into it, your business plan will be the building blocks for all the content you create…

Your headlines

Your copy

Your imagery

A detailed and thoughtful business plan will help you lead with service and you’ll never find yourself asking – I’m new at this what do I talk about?

When we focus on serving, we build strong bonds with our ideal audience.

Trust flourishes

and soon…customers became advocates, willingly spreading the word about you and your brand.

Online businesses are soaring when they remove aggressive sales tactics.

Instead, show genuine care about making a difference in people’s lives.

The impact we can create by embracing a service mindset is nothing short of phenomenal.

Plus…your content will be more fun to make, you’ll feel more creative, and soon your ideal audience will follow.

Lastly, Wake Up Legendary gives you daily tips, tricks, and hacks to grow your confidence, mindset, and business. Be sure to check out this week’s events below.

Your Weekly Legend for May 14th-20th

Are you overlooking this?

It’s crucial to strategy.

It helps us NOT look like virtual version of the door to door salesman.

These guys annoy the heck outta me…

I didn’t ask them to stop by.

I’m in no way interested in what they have to say.

I know right from the start, they only have one purpose…

To make a sale.

This week I had 3 door to door salesmen ring my doorbell.

These poor guys are literally walking the streets trying to get eyeballs on what they’re selling.

They don’t give two cents about me or any type of long term business relationship.

They want to close a deal and move on.

The problem…

We don’t want to be sold to.

We want to be connected with.

Showing up at someone’s front door uninvited usually isn’t going to cut it.

The same thing goes for your social media content.

We gotta stop creating videos that feel like a door to door salesman in the feed.

One way to stop looking thirsty for sales…change your Call To Action (CTA).

So what’s a CTA?

This is your “ask” at the end of your content.

It’s the action you want your viewer to take after watching your video.

Right now in our community there’s a whole lotta of “click link in bio” or “Download my ebook”

Over…

And over…

Yes, these are great CTAs but we can’t use them on everything, especially if we are growing a new account and looking for followers.

Each piece of content you create needs a hook to stop the scroll, a piece of value/edutainment/or something to relate to your audience with, and then a call to action.

Obviously we all want someone to click our link and buy all the things we recommend.

BUT…

That can’t happen without trust.

Without connection.

Without building an audience.

If you walk up to a stranger and ask for them to buy, you’re going to get alot of NO’s.

If you do the same in your video content, you’ll get less views, less engagement, and your follower count won’t grow.

We gotta build our social media “room” with excited followers first before we can present the offer.

Social media is meant to be social.

This is where engagement comes in.

The platforms want to see engagement on your videos in order to show it to more and more people.

Engagement metrics come from likes, shares, saves, comments, dms, and clicks compared to the number of impressions and views you had.

The higher the engagement, the more the social media platform will push it out.

Having the exact same CTA on every video won’t cut it.

Did I possibly describe you?

Don’t worry…I got you!

Here are some TOP CTA’s to use when you’re growing an account that are not the same ol’ “click link in bio.”

Tag A Friend Who Needs to hear this (change friend to mom, co-worker, bestie, whoever makes sense for your ideal audience)
Double Tap If you Agree
Save For Later
Save For Later and Follow For More
Drop An Emoji in the comments (give them the specific emoji to comment with)
Who’s with me on this?
Maybe I’m wrong – what do you think? (use this when you are ready to hear a variety of opinions)
What would you add? (After giving tips) Then engage with what viewers add in the comments.
Can you relate?
Share your xyz moment in the comments (after you shared a story your audience can relate to)
Why is no one talking about this? Let me know in the comments
What’s your go to (remedy/fix that your ideal audience connects with)?
Comment if you want a part 2
Like for part 2 (part 3, part 4, part 5)
Like if you agree! (Tap the heart if you agree)
Comment (insert a short fun phrase) for more!

Also think of it this way…if all your CTAs are “click link in bio” I bet the content in those videos comes across pretty salesy…just like the door to door salesman.

Let your creative juices flow with all the variety of content you can create when you vary your CTAs!

Don’t forget to save this email and start mixing up your CTAs in your content.

Your Weekly Legend for March 26th-April 1st

Think back for me…

As a child, was there that unspoken (and sometimes spoken) expectation that you better choose to become either a lawyer or a doctor? Maybe an astronaut?

And if you didn’t choose one of those, it felt like you were choosing misery.

Well, guess what?

It was all a big fat lie.

The truth is that no profession guarantees happiness or success.

Thursday’s guest is a single mom who spent eight years in college and over $200k in tuition loans to become a doctor.

But just six months into her career…

she was burnt out…

miserable…

unfulfilled.

Like many moms, she was often filled with guilt, leaving her young child all day.

She couldn’t imagine doing this for another 30 years.

She felt depressed and would escape her daily reality by scrolling through social media. During one of those scrolls, she watched a TT about a $7 course. It wasn’t a quick decision for her to explore other options. But after a few months of watching videos, she finally decided to take the next step and see what this was.

What did she have to lose? She was already feeling miserable. She decided to dive in feet first and take action.

And in just a few short months, she walked away from her medical profession for good and never felt happier.

This inspiring story will not only make you feel ignited but will also give you the fuel to keep going.

You’ll see first hand, what it looks like to take a chance on something new and find your true calling.

Don’t miss out on this amazing interview with Becca.

Her journey will show you that it’s never too late to change your path and find true happiness.

Click here to watch the full interview and get inspired to take your next step forward.

Lastly….we have ALOT going on!

March 19th – 25th, 2023

Your Weekly Legend for March 19th-25th

There’s lots a talk surrounding a possible TikTok ban. It’s sorta the elephant in the room.

I’m not going to dive into the political or the Meta business agenda behind this today…

Instead let’s dive into what this possible ban could mean for you and your business as far as day to day operations. (Plus at the end I share a few algorithm updates!)

First and foremost…If you’re setting up and growing your business properly, it will end up as a minimal shift.

It’s really not much different than an account getting shut down and learning how to build traffic on other platforms.

When it comes to using ANY social media platform, we gotta remember this:

We’re using social media platforms rent-free
They’re borrowed spaces
We don’t own them
We don’t control them
We only utilize and learn how to capitalize from them

A possible TikTok ban is not an excuse to quit.
(or an excuse to not get started)

No platform determines the existence of your business.

While it’s understandable to feel nervous about losing access to such a popular platform, I want to put your worries at ease.

How consumers interact online will constantly change and evolve.

Here are a few reminders to settle your TikTok nerves surrounding a possible ban.

First, it’s important to remember that social media is just a tool in the marketer’s arsenal. Just like we use tools/software for funnels and emails. Social media platforms are traffic tools.

Yes, there’s no denying, TikTok has proven to be a powerful tool for reaching your target audience fast, BUT it’s not the only social media platform available. Other platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and even Twitter can also reach a wider audience.

There are wildly successful online businesses that still haven’t touched TikTok.

Is it useful…absolutely. Is it required for any level of success…nope. It’s not your only option.

It never was and never will be your only option.

If TikTok makes you uneasy…don’t use it! Find the platform you are most comfortable with using and begin to build your business there. New social media platforms are always emerging, and the next big thing could be just around the corner.

Secondly, even if TikTok were to be banned, its creators and audience don’t disappear with it.

The creators still exist, and the consumer desire for short-form content is still there, it will just move to a different platform.

This is why it’s CRUCIAL to BUILD YOUR LIST. Your email list is completely YOURS. You own it. No one can take that piece of communication from you. Your list and followers can easily move with you to the next hottest platform with ease when you utilize your list. By staying adaptable and open to new ideas and strategies, marketers can ensure that they’re always using the most effective tools available to reach their target audience.

This is also why it’s important to stay plugged into an online community, always be open to learning and growing, and stay ahead of the ever-changing world of online marketing.

Lastly…

Every single business needs marketing to survive.

Learning marketing skills, and staying up to date on new trends, will always keep you in demand.

If TikTok disappears tomorrow, consumers will still be buying, consuming content, and still looking for recommendations…where that happens will just shift.

Be ready and open to shift with it utilizing the marketing skills you’re learning.

One way to stay on top of all things marketing is to listen to success stories, tips, and mindset advice that’s shared in each episode of Wake Up Legendary.

Be sure to check out the recordings from last week and check out the guests below for this week.

As always…

Stay Legendary!
– JoAnn

P.S. ALERT: CONTENT AND ALGORITHM UPDATES! If you’re on TT you probably noticed there’s a shift in the algorithm…they are now rewarding content creators that create LONGER videos. Take a peak and you’ll notice longer videos are landing on your FYP. If you’re on TT, give a few longer videos a try if you’ve only been creating shorter ones.

P.P.S. Instagram has released new updates! A whole collection of updates and recommendations were shared on a zoom between IG and top creators for what they want to see right now. (Remember marketing is always changing!) Here are two juicy updates you need to be aware of: 1.IG wants to see accounts posting stories daily 2. IG is rewarding accounts that post to the grid daily. (So it’s time to kick up how often you post)

February 19th – 25th, 2023

Your Weekly Legend for February 19th-25th

Recently, I was out for lunch with my youngest daughter. We were seated at a window that gave me the perfect view of a gentleman on the center divider of the road with a cardboard sign asking for money.

The sign read “Lost My Job – Anything helps”

As a new set of cars arrived at the light, no one was donating. We would watch and chat, and red light after red light…zero donations.

We carried on with our meal, and suddenly my daughter taps my hand and says “mom look!”

I glance at the gentleman on the center divider and while the light was green and cars were zooming by, he had whipped out a sharpie marker, flipped over his piece of cardboard, and was writing.

By the time that light turned red, and cars were stopped…

The sharpie was put away and a new HOOK was presented…

His sign now read “Short on cash for food & weed – please help”

OHHH we got a whole new angle now! My daughter and I were intrigued. I was impressed. Soon enough..he was given a donation.

The new hook was working.

Ya see, the ultimate goal of a cash donation was the same. Just like the ultimate goal for us marketers is a follow, an opt-in, and a conversion. This gentleman realized his previous approach was not converting on this given day, with this audience, so he tested out a new hook. And this one converted!

What can we learn here?

Don’t be afraid to try new types of content. Don’t worry about testing different hooks or captions. Don’t stress if the video “you saw another creator do” isn’t working for you…always be testing new approaches.

When you test multiple versions of your content you can compare their performance and see which ones are resonating with your target audience. Secondly, testing hooks, headlines, copy, captions, and various looks helps you optimize your content for different platforms.

For instance, a video that performs well on Facebook may not have the same impact on Instagram or Tiktok.

Thirdly, testing multiple versions of your content allows you to stay relevant and up-to-date with your customers’ changing preferences. By regularly testing your content and analyzing the results, you can adapt your messaging to meet your customers’ changing needs and preferences.

Ultimately, you just won’t know unless you keep trying, keep testing, and keep going.

That gentleman on the center divider was persistent. He was testing the performance of different offers to his audience right before our eyes. We as marketers must be willing to do the same.

As promised here is your TTT – Tip To Try…This Week!

TEST. YOUR. FUNNEL.

Above I talked about testing out new content, but this is different. Make sure everything is working as it should. Test the link from your social pages, test each button, test your autoresponder. Every time you update any piece of the process…test again.

PLUS, test it on desktop AND mobile.

How does everything look? Is everything working how you want them to?

TEST. TEST. TEST.

The Weekly Round-Up is Gone…Introducing The Weekly LEGEND!

Gone are the days of simply catching up on what’s happened in the past week. We want to make sure you’re always ahead of the game and prepared for what’s coming next.

That’s why we’re introducing The Weekly LEGEND, your guide to all things marketing. A legend to refer back to throughout the week as you continue on this journey of learning and growing. Plus, I will add a TTT – TIP TO TRY this week in your marketing!

Fix This ONE Thing In Your Content

Before we dive into what’s ahead, let’s talk about one of the most crucial elements of video content – hooks. Unfortunately, it’s often the most overlooked aspect, but it’s what sets the tone and direction for the rest of the video. You only have 3 seconds to stop the “zombie scroll” and draw your viewer in.

A hook is a compelling element that encourages the viewer to keep watching. Whether it’s a visual, audio, or narrative element, it must be well-crafted in order to be effective. A hook that speaks directly to your target audience, is relevant to the topic of the video, and attention-grabbing is what will set your video apart from the rest and result in more views, followers, and conversions.

Here are a few tips to help you craft amazing hooks:

Know your target audience and what they’re looking for in a video.
Make sure the hook is relevant to the topic of the video.
Grab their attention with a hook that’s attention-grabbing, not boring or unrelated to the rest of the video.

Video marketing has become an integral part of modern marketing strategy, with businesses of all sizes using videos to engage and persuade their target audience. However, simply producing a video and hoping it will go viral is no longer enough. In order to truly find short form content success, your hook is key. Take some time this week and review your content and specifically look at your hooks. It could make a massive different in your reach and business growth.

As promised, here’s your TTT (Tip To Try) for the week:

This week, try something different with your videos – instead of HOOK, Value, Call To Action like most video layouts…

This week try this content layout instead: HOOK, Call To Action, and END with Value. You might just be able to capture a few more seconds of watch time and boost your reach. Many are finding success with this and it’s worth TESTING with your audience.

So now, scroll down and see what’s in store for this week at Legendary Marketer. You’ll find details about each episode of Wake Up legendary, guest coaching sessions and more. Plus we’ve provided easy buttons to RSVP for each event.

The Weekly LEGEND is here to make sure you never miss a beat in your marketing journey.

Legendary Marketer named to the Inc. 5000 list

August 22, 2022 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

We are excited to announce Legendary Marketer has been named to the Inc. 5000 list for 2022.

The Inc. 5000 list, is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful but have also demonstrated resilience amid worldwide financial woes and the ongoing impact of Covid-19.

With Legendary Marketer’s ranking at 63rd in the education category, we are proving that alternative, quality, online education is how the world wants to consume knowledge that garners usable, transferable skills.

“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.”

With the continued accolades that Legendary Marketer receives in creating quality, alternative education of transferable skills in the online space, a deeper story of our founder and CEO, David Sharpe continues to prove determination, grit, and resilience are crucial to entrepreneurial success.

David Sharpe was a 9th-grade dropout who’s led a few different companies to multi-million dollars in revenue, and now with his latest venture, Legendary Marketer, he’s added an Inc. 5000 award to his repertoire.

When Dave was 24 years old, he found himself homeless, strung out, withdrawing from heroin and other opiate painkillers, and desperately needed help.

One day, he made his way to his Dad’s house, and as he stood at the door, weak, frail, almost unable to raise his arm to knock on the door, his dad answered.

Dave humbly asked, “Help me save my life.”

His Dad opened the door, let Dave sleep on his couch, brought him along on construction jobs, and gave him a safe place to try and piece his life back together.

The hours working construction were long.

After sweating endlessly in the hot Florida sun on job sites, Dave was again feeling stuck like there was no end in sight. He was driven to continue to grow more, push harder, and be something bigger than a construction worker.

He found himself surfing the web on his old clunky, painfully slow computer, and made the first (and most important) search that many people today find themselves making…

How do I make money online?

Dave may be a 9th-grade dropout, but he was smart enough to know that he wanted to own his own business.

Like all aspiring business owners, he wanted to build a business with an endless supply of customers.

BUT, he wanted to achieve this dream by working from home.

This was NOT a concept accepted 14 years ago.

Working from home was almost unheard of, let alone building an entire business that is remote-based.

Dave went for it anyways.

He had nothing to lose.

He kept searching for ways to make this dream a reality.

One day, he had a million-dollar discovery while standing in a hardware store.

“I looked over and I saw a man confused and I asked him if I could help out. He said his toilet was leaking and because of my construction experience, I was able to point him toward the little $5 wax ring that he needed to put under his toilet to create a waterproof seal. That confused man was instantly happy, so happy. In fact, he tipped me $100 Just to say thanks and that was the first money I’d earned from what I know versus what I did.”

And that’s when Dave discovered the pathway to making his dream a reality.

Since then, he’s been packaging knowledge and selling it online.

He’s then taken all he learned, tested, and those proven strategies and results and is now teaching others to do the same.

Dave felt a calling to help as many people stop living a life of survival, but one that is meaningful, memorable, and filled with achievement and pride.

And that’s when Legendary Marketer was born.

Over the next five years, the company saw steady, sometimes surprising growth year after year.

Then In 2021 alone, Legendary Marketer tripled its revenue and was named one of Inc. Magazine’s 5000 fastest-growing privately held companies in America (the 63rd fastest-growing education company).

David Sharpe has built a company that is 100% remote, with employees and contractors from all around the globe. It’s a company that is built on integrity and provides real solutions and strategies for the company’s students.

Creating a 100% remote workplace also allows him to fill positions with the best talent, and not solely based on geographic location. From his highly skilled and sought-after team of advisors, top-notch customer support, and executive team, David Sharpe has created a work culture that is second to none.

And the deliverable is nothing short of astounding. Clients of Legendary Marketer receive the highest level of education and support in the industry.

And speaking of those students:

Since March 2020, Legendary Marketer has interviewed a successful student from the program, on its LIVE podcast – Wake Up Legendary – nearly every single weekday, with over 500 success stories and a waiting list of countless new legends waiting to tell their story. Hundreds of normal, everyday folks who’ve turned their mess into a message, their struggles into their strengths.

They’re the real legends of Legendary Marketer.

Now, in 2022, Legendary Marketer has broken even more company sales records and continues to deliver online marketing education simply and with integrity.

Most of the traditional education systems train people how to become employees on the old, clunky, outdated hamster wheel. But at Legendary Marketer, students are learning real, valuable, transferable skills that will benefit them for years, even decades. And Legendary Marketer is poised to continue its growth as the E-learning age continues to expand.

Legendary Marketer and David Sharpe have proven to be the best-in-class source for high-quality, alternative education and will continue to dominate the space for years to come.

Important Affiliate Updates Effective July 20, 2022

July 19, 2022 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Dear Legendary Marketer Affiliate:

Matt here, Chief Marketing Officer at Legendary Marketer.

Today, July 20, 2022, we’re executing on a year-long plan to put more money in the pockets of all our affiliates and make our affiliate opportunity simpler and easier to participate than ever before.

If you’re currently an affiliate with Legendary Marketer (or you’re considering applying to be an affiliate), be sure to read this entire post to get all the details.

Please don’t skim read.

Read every word.

So, why are we executing this plan?

Because unlike many of the so-called “mentors” and “gurus” out there, we’re constantly asking ourselves “how can we make being a Legendary Marketer affiliate the best experience any affiliate marketer has ever had?”

It’s a question that most course creators and influencers don’t ask, because…

1. Usually their offer is weak and their conversions are lackluster… so they end up spending all their time worrying about how to get people to purchase their products.

This gives them very little time to think about YOU and how they might serve YOU and make YOUR life easier.

But let me let you in on a little secret…

The 15-Day Online Business Builder Challenge offer has gone nearly unchanged for over three years, and at the time of writing this, there’s only two months on record that have had higher conversion rates than July 2022.

This gives us plenty of time to split test and try a myriad of new things to make your life easier and make our offers convert even better.

In my humble opinion, right now is the best time in history to be an affiliate for Legendary Marketer.

The stats back that up.

So if you’re wondering to yourself:

“Have the conversion rates decreased?”
“Is the market saturated?”
“Has the opportunity passed?

The answer is no.

I’ve told this to Dave’s face, and I’ll say it here too… Dave is one of the best, if not the best offer creator I have ever seen. It’s uncanny. Many affiliates fail to realize this, but in 12 years of observing highly skilled offer creators, I can’t think of anyone better.

But it’s not just about Dave.

Which brings me to point #2.

2. Most “gurus” and “mentors” mistakenly believe it’s all about them and fail to see how a winning team is the key to longevity in this industry.

Over the past few years, Legendary Marketer has carefully accumulated a highly skilled team of A+ players.

This is largely due to the foresight of Dave Sharpe and the leadership team at Legendary.

From management to support staff to marketing to business plan advisors… We ain’t building for a million dollar “launch.” We ain’t building to be around for a month, or a year, or even 5 years.

In our 6th year of business, we’ve got decades on our mind. That’s why we’re called Legendary Marketer, not Mediocre Marketer.

So settle in… We’re not your “new kid on the block” guru who will be here today and gone tomorrow.

We aren’t going anywhere, and we’ve constructed a team of people who have taken Legendary Marketer to a level this industry hasn’t ever seen (and we’ve got no plans of stopping).

3. Most “gurus” and “mentors” are looking for ways to stuff money in their own pockets (not the pockets of their affiliates).

Put simply, as you’ll see below…

This isn’t the case with Legendary Marketer.

And we’re willing to put our money where our mouth is.

So, let’s get to it already. What are the big updates?!?

1. The 1st Update Is The Biggest – We Have Eliminated the PRO Affiliate Fee!

Effective immediately, July 20, 2022, we are eliminating the $29.95 fee to be a PRO Affiliate with Legendary Marketer.

If you’re currently a paying PRO affiliate, you will no longer be charged the $29.95 fee, but you will still earn the same commission percentages!

You won’t earn less.

Your commission percentage will remain the same.

We won’t take any money away from you.

We want to make 2022 the most profitable year for your business, and what better way to do that than cutting your business expenses!

IMPORTANT: We are not issuing refunds for any previously paid PRO Affiliate Fees. We are simply not going to charge the $29.95 PRO Affiliate Fee any longer. All affiliates will earn the same commission percentage, which you can see on our referral plan page.

In short – If you were a PRO affiliate before, you will still earn the same commissions you were already earning. If you were a FREE affiliate before, you will now earn what the PRO affiliates earn.

If you have questions regarding the commission percentages, please do not submit a support ticket until you have fully reviewed the referral plan page.

2. We’re Eliminating Lead Capture Pages (And Autoresponder Integrations)

Frankly, let’s keep this short and sweet. We want you to build your business, not ours. And while it might be nice to send your traffic to our lead capture pages, this feature has caused more questions than the value it’s provided.

So Matt, what will happen if I’m sending traffic to a lead capture page hosted by Legendary Marketer?

Effective immediately, those links will be automatically forwarded to our sales pages, instead of our capture pages.

That means your traffic will still go to an affiliate link, it just won’t be to collect them as a lead. They will instead go straight to a sales page.

This change was made with the goal of you creating your own lead capture page (which we teach very clearly throughout our 15-Day Online Business Builder Challenge, especially on day 3). You can review day 3 of the challenge if you need a refresher.

In short, this feature was being used by very few affiliates and affiliates who use their own landing page and bridge page historically are more successful than those who use company hosted capture pages, so again… We’re trying to put more money in your pocket, by making our platform simpler and easier for you to use.

NOTE: Don’t worry! Your existing leads will still be available to export in your affiliate backoffice!

3. We’ve Added A Highly-Requested Feature: Webhooks/Postbacks

Note: This is for more advanced affiliates, so if this is something you’re unfamiliar with, I would recommend taking some time to research what webhooks are (preferably do your research before bombarding our support team with questions about this)!

In a nutshell, webhooks/postbacks will give you the ability to run paid ads and send ‘events’ back to your paid ads platform that let you track your ads better.

We’re now living in a time where tracking paid ads statistics has become more difficult than ever, and some advanced marketers have requested that we have the webhooks/postbacks so they can run retargeting ads to their traffic and see what converts.

Now you finally have that option!

I want to stress and reiterate, though… If you’re a newer affiliate marketer or are completely unfamiliar with these, I would recommend not even worrying about this particular feature update right now. It really is an advanced tech feature that should only be used by those who really understand it fully.

4. We Have NEW Lead Magnets For You To Swipe & Deploy!

Hmmm… How many times can I say it before it gets annoying?

We just want to put more money in your pockets!

And I know I shared a little secret with you earlier about how well our offer is converting these days…

… but can I let you in on another secret?

After pouring through endless piles of data over the last year, we’ve discovered that many of our top affiliates at Legendary Marketer are generating massive amounts of traffic, leads and sales by giving away free reports and eBooks.

And what’s even better?

Most times, the affiliates with the highest conversion rates are those who are offering a freebie to their audience in exchange for their email address.

What it shows us is that the highest quality lead is someone who feels like they got value from you.

It’s Marketing 101 and it’s as basic as it can get.

And yet sometimes we forget…

… WE AS MARKETERS HAVE TO LEAD WITH VALUE!

So, we decided to hand you two free giveaways in the “Custom Funnels” section of your affiliate dashboard.

If you’re logged in, you can simply click here and go straight to that section.

The first is called “The #1 Online Business To Start In 2022.” Of course, we’ll update that date when 2023 rolls around, but until then, this lead magnet can be used as a giveaway to help generate leads and sales by showing people our favorite online business to start!

The second is called “The Step-By-Step Checklist To Start A Thriving Freelance Digital Marketing Business In 2022.” Again, we’ll update the dates when necessary. People love checklists and this short little PDF will give them a taste of what they’re looking for and leave them craving more.

Both of these powerful lead magnets have placeholders for you to insert your affiliate links. We actually teach you how to do this yourself using free tools in just a matter of a few minutes. Click here to go to custom funnels and learn how to do it yourself!

The goal with both of these lead magnets is not just to provide you with Done-For-You swipe content to use.

We also want to show you just how easy it is to create these giveaways and resources for yourself!

We believe by demonstrating the exact steps it takes to create these types of giveaways, you’ll feel empowered and emboldened to make your own (which is even more powerful and leads to even higher conversions).

It only takes a few minutes to do it, and we believe implementing something like this can have a massive positive impact on your conversions!

Last but not least, we want to express how grateful we are for your continued partnership with Legendary Marketer.

The team at Legendary Marketer values the partnership we have with so many of you.

You all have entrusted us with your audience, your traffic, and your leads.

We take this extremely serious.

It’s an honor to wake up every day and try to help as many people as humanly possible see the opportunity that exists on the internet right now (and truly, the opportunity has never been greater than it is at this very moment).

We’re here to do everything in our power to make you successful in your partnership with Legendary Marketer.

If you have questions, you can email them to support@legendarymarketer.com. We only ask that you read every word of this blog post before sending a support ticket in. Oftentimes the answer we’re seeking is hidden in plain sight!

Until next time,
Be Legendary

ARIIX Review: Is It a Credible MLM Company?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Did you know that one out of every 13 Americans has been involved in a multi-level marketing company, or MLM?

From weight loss to cookware to cosmetics, there’s no shortage of MLM companies to work for. Each one offers interesting, often innovative products, and promises rich financial rewards for participation.

Since you’re reading this ARIIX review, you’re probably considering joining an MLM company yourself. But is ARIIX the best MLM company for you? And is working with an MLM really right for you in the first place?

And—most importantly—is ARIIX a scam?

In this ARIIX MLM review, we’ll answer these questions and more so you can make a confident decision about your entrepreneurial goals. To learn everything you need to know about ARIIX and whether this MLM is right for you, keep reading.

ARIIX Review: Company Overview

ARIIX sells health, wellness, beauty, and weight loss products and supplements. These include products like protein shakes, nutritional supplements, skincare lotions and creams, and even water and air purifiers.

On the outside, ARIIX seems like a typical MLM: great graphic design, a compelling product selection, and an aspirational brand. But although their prices are steep, their products are held to a higher standard of quality than many MLMs.

ARIIX is not a scam, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to get rich as an ARIIX salesperson. For one thing, membership dues are strict and costly. Not only that, but the real money is made—when it’s made at all—when you recruit other sellers. So you don’t get paid for selling products as much as for getting other people in your downline. This is far from unusual among MLM companies, but that doesn’t make it any less questionable.

ARIIX Pros and Cons

ARIIX isn’t a perfect company or even a perfect MLM, but it does have its strong points. Read on to learn about the advantages and disadvantages involved.

Pros

It’s not uncommon for MLMs to place more emphasis on money and membership than on the actual products being sold. ARIIX isn’t entirely different in this regard. However, they do have strict quality guidelines that set them apart from other MLMs.

ARIIX has its own Scientific Advisory Board, which ensures every product they sell is high-quality. This is highly unusual and shows impressive attention to detail on the part of ARIIX.

However, despite their focus on quality, ARIIX’s products are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Depending on your personal feelings regarding the FDA, this could seem either negative or positive. But most customers would be more comfortable buying from you if they knew your products were FDA-approved.

Of course, the products ARIIX sells are just one part of the entire system. Your experience as a member will probably revolve around the financial aspect of participating.

Every MLM promises the possibility of earning big money to its members, and ARIIX is no different. However, if you aren’t a truly gifted salesperson, you could easily end up losing more money than you earn.

For those willing to put in the effort and succeed, ARIIX offers one surprising benefit that most MLMs don’t: an annual cost of living increase. Around once every year, your commissions as an ARIIX representative will be increased to keep up with inflation. This is an unusual perk for traditional employees, let alone MLM sellers.

Cons

As far as multi-level marketing companies go, ARIIX is an impressive business. It prioritizes product quality and provides regular cost of living adjustments. But unless you’re truly dedicated to the business, it could easily become nothing more than an expensive club.

To get started with ARIIX, you must purchase a starter kit known as the Get Fit Advanced Pack, which costs $335. Following this, you’re required to either purchase or sell at least $148 worth of products every month. You’re also required to attend a full day of training, which you must pay a fee to access.

In total, you should expect to spend around $500 just to get started. As far as startup investments go, $500 isn’t bad, but it’s more than most people have lying around. If you want to join ARIIX specifically to make money, you’d better be prepared to work hard to earn your investment back.

Unfortunately, the only effective way to earn a lot of money is to get more people to join the MLM. For most people, this means persuading their friends and family to buy your products and join the company. While this works for some, many people have found out the hard way that selling an “opportunity” like this has a way of destroying relationships. And if your friends or family choose to invest and end up losing money, they might hold it against you.

Is This MLM Right for You?

As you can see from this ARIIX review, ARIIX isn’t much different from the majority of MLMs. Although it has impressive products and offers a real opportunity to representatives, it comes with several liabilities.

If you’re very socially connected and good at selling, you might make a lot of money with ARIIX. But you should consider whether it’s truly the best choice.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

LifeVantage MLM Review: Scam or Worth It?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

When you look at the development of LifeVantage stock over the years, you can see that in the early stages, LifeVantage wasn’t doing as well as it would later on. Why?

From 2003 to 2008, LifeVantage sold its products through brick-and-mortar retailers and didn’t make the kinds of sales they were hoping for. By the end of 2008, the LifeVantage MLM emerged, and sales skyrocketed.

After those first few years of using the MLM business model, LifeVantage sales started to fall. Now, their sales are strong but not nearly as strong as they once were. What does that mean for LifeVantage affiliates?

At Legendary Marketer, our goal is to provide you with the latest information on marketing and online business opportunities. Now, we’re going to take a deep dive into the LifeVantage MLM and uncover the reality behind this health and wellness company.

Is LifeVantage a Scam?

First, let’s put your mind at ease. LifeVantage is not a scam. It is a tried and true MLM that relies on affiliate marketers to sell products and recruit even more affiliates to, you guessed it, sell more products.

Founder Darren Jensen had quite a bit of experience with the MLM business model. It’s no wonder that when his products were failing to sell in a traditional retail environment, he transitioned to multi-level marketing.

LifeVantage sells products that fall under the health and wellness umbrella. They are most known for their line of dietary supplements and anti-aging creams, serums, and more. Protandim, an all-natural supplement that is designed to reduce oxidative stress and reduce aging, accounts for over half of all LifeVantage sales.

It’s worth noting that Protandim has faced criticism over the years. That means that in order to sell LifeVantage, you have to stand behind a product that produces anecdotal (and disputed) effects. That being said, this is not an unusual position to be in when selling health and wellness products.

Why Become a LifeVantage Affiliate?

What is the LifeVantage opportunity? How does LifeVantage encourage people to join their movement and become a LifeVantage distributor?

For starters, LifeVantage has a relatively low enrollment fee of $50. (What they may not tell you right off the bat is that in addition to this enrollment fee, you also have to purchase a starter pack or purchase $100 worth of products.)

Once you’re in, there are a few ways that you can start making money. For example, you can earn a commission rate of 30% to 40% each time you bring in a new preferred customer. You can also earn a bonus any time someone purchases a starter pack.

You can also boost your ranking, and therefore improve and increase your earning opportunities, by recruiting a downstream. That being said, recruiting a downstream is only beneficial if your downstream is meeting the expected volume of sales each week.

For the most part, LifeVantage is following a standard compensation plan that you can expect from most trustworthy MLMs. One key takeaway is that you don’t have to buy a costly starter pack to enter the ring, even if you do have to make an initial investment of about $150.

How Much Are LifeVantage Affiliates Really Making?

Now, let’s get to the nitty-gritty. Thousands of people are already selling LifeVantage products. We don’t have to guess how much they’re making, because LifeVantage offers a fairly transparent annual income disclosure statement.

What we can learn from this income disclosure statement is that there really are people out there who are making six figures per month as a LifeVantage affiliate. The drawback is that less than 0.011% of the LifeVantage team has reached this level of achievement.

How much is the vast majority of the LifeVantage team making? About 75% of current affiliates are selling at the lowest level of LifeVantage rankings, referred to as Distributors. On average, this group is making $4 a month, although the most successful Distributor in the bunch is making over $22,000 a month.

What Challenges Should You Expect From Becoming a LifeVantage MLM Affiliate?

Why is it so difficult to make real money as a LifeVantage affiliate? Let’s take a quick look again at the development of LifeVantage stock.

In the years just after LifeVantage became an MLM, the company’s worth soared. After about three golden years, it started to drop back down to a more modest amount.

What this tells us is that when LifeVantage products became more widely available, they sold really well. People were excited for the opportunity to give their products a shot and to give the MLM opportunity a shot, too.

Then came market saturation. Market saturation occurs when there’s no one left to turn to who hasn’t already been offered the opportunity to buy or sell a product. Everyone is already doing so, already gave it a shot, or already said, “No, thank you.”

Your ability to truly sell people on yourself and your products can counterbalance market saturation. You have to be able to tell a compelling story and remind people why a product is worth their interest and money, even if they’d previously formed an opinion about it. You also have to be able to do this on a mass scale and reach thousands of people all at once, or you’re going to waste your efforts.

How can you unlock these marketing skills? How can you reach such a wide audience?

Let Us Help You Boost Your Online Business Skills

The LifeVantage MLM is about as typical as they come. They offer a commission on sales and increased earning opportunities in exchange for recruitment. Their products are interesting but a lot of people have already heard of them, making it more difficult to find a target audience that is automatically excited about what you’re selling.

Fortunately, finding success with any online business isn’t just about the products. It’s about your ability to market the products effectively. Watch this free video and get the skills you need to follow the right business opportunities and turn them into a goldmine every single time.

What Is Sunrider International?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Is Sunrider International a scam? Can you trust any MLM company for starting a home-based business of your own?

The answers to those questions could change the trajectory of your life or inspire you to search for new options. Anyone considering this type of endeavor deserves a straightforward explanation of the pros and cons.

Does a Sunrider International MLM business make sense for your business goals? Is this the best MLM company opportunity for you?

Find out today by reading this no-nonsense Sunrider International MLM review!

MLM Company 101

A multilevel marketing (MLM) company recruits driven individuals who want to start their own business and distribute their products. If you know someone who has sold Mary Kay or Amway products, then you’ve already encountered this type of business. Anyone with an interest in starting a home-based business can run across these types of companies often while going down Google rabbit holes.

Sunrider International Essentials

Sunrider International started in 1982 in Orem, Utah. The company operates out of Torrance, California today, and it’s a private company founded by Tei-Fu Chen and Oi Lin Chen.

The Sunrider Corporation distributes herbal nutrition, home, and beauty products to individuals who want to start a home-based business. They manufacture their own products and sell them through entrepreneurs in over 50 countries.

Sunrider focuses on herbal and natural products for healthy daily living that range from food to home cleaning solutions. Business owner testimonials often focus their praise on the earning potential they’ve found while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Sunrider International Products

Sunrider reps focus on providing products that help people live happy and healthy lives, like other MLM companies that gained popularity in recent years. The following represents the categories of products featured in their online shop:

Food & Drinks

The drinks offer a variety of health benefits and tend to come in pre-measured packs. Options listed on their website include:

Plant protein shakes
Probiotics
Energy drinks
Cleansers
Sleep aids

Sunrider International makes GMO-free food packed with micronutrients and antioxidants. A few examples to consider are herbal food bars, vegan gummies, and NuPuffs snacks.

Herbal Nutrition

Sunrider offers a well-considered group of supplements to support anyone’s goals. The company has individual vitamins or blends for particular health concerns. This list is a representation of the options:

Vitamin C
Vitamin D3
Dong Quai
Dandelion Root
Fiber capsules
Beauty support
Men’s health

These types of products are common in the supplement industry, but it can be difficult to know who to trust. Sunrider holds itself to the highest standards established by the FDA and has a strong commitment to quality.

Beauty & Body

Beauty products and herbal supplements pair naturally together in a product line. One offering tends to compliment or enhance the other, and that’s helpful when getting sales going for your new business. Some of the offerings listed on their website include:

Hair and body wash
Hand and body lotion
Aftershave
Cleansing foam
Natural deodorant
Mascara
Facial toner

Any of the herbal solutions listed above can work well with the supplement line (or start a big conversation even with a small audience). In terms of vertical integrations, Sunrider does have that baked into its business model.

Home

Natural home cleaning solutions have gained significant popularity in the last decade. Offering these types of products with other natural solutions provides a fantastic opportunity for an add-on sale. The current items available for purchase at the time of writing include:

Chlorine-free bleach
Multipurpose cleaner
Laundry detergent
Vegetable rinse

Major supplement organizations have added these to their inventory, but not everyone is on board (or taking advantage of affiliate marketing). When you’re creating a home-based business, most of your customers can appreciate having this as an alternative to chemical-based solutions at the big box stores.

How Does Sunrider Make These Products?

Sunrider International publishes a nine-step process for delivering its products to distributors. Here’s a high-level look at their proprietary process:

Select

The website claims that Sunrider carefully selects the parts of the plant they want to extract for products. They may use the root, seed, fruit, leaf, or even the entire plant itself.

Cleanse

After they’ve found the right ingredients, the manufacturers clean the herbs. Any unwanted materials like dirt or debris get washed away before entering the heart of the manufacturing process.

Enhance

Some herbs respond well to methods of preparation that include drying, hearing, or storage in cold temperatures. Sunrider even cooks some of their ingredients in honey.

Grind

Herbs need to fit exact measurements, especially for capsules, so grinding is a necessary step. Getting the ingredients to a uniform size is critical to success for any supplement.

Formulate

Herbal remedies often have proprietary methods of combining ingredients for optimal results. Sunrider claims to combine their herbs in precise ways to benefit a person’s health.

Extract

Some herbs require an extra level of effort to extract the ingredients necessary for supplements. The manufacturing process should include taking the healthy ingredients for use while eliminating anything undesirable.

Concentrate

If you’ve tasted orange juice concentrate from the grocery store, that should give a good picture of what this step involves. Herbs can become a “juice” with the right manufacturing equipment.

Flo-Coat or Spray Dry

Once a proprietary blend has reached this stage, the juice gets sprayed into an herbal base. This step is necessary to convert the ingredients into a powder.

Package

Packaging needs to occur in a safe and controlled manner to meet strict standards. While the FDA does not technically regulate the supplement industry, American products have respect around the world for having the highest standards possible.

Are You Ready to Start a Sunrider International Business?

We hope that this guide has helped you consider the pros and cons of this MLM company. Sunrider International has a long-standing reputation as a home-based business that offers quality products. Whether you plan to make some extra cash or build an empire, you can do much worse than Sunrider in the marketplace.

Whether you want to sell supplements or something completely different, the key to success is selling yourself first. If you don’t invest in the right marketing strategy, quality products alone can’t bail you out of a low sales rut.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

This is how stylists make the majority of their income from commissions based on how much their downline orders each month. According to their website, Cabi consultants can make between 2-8% of everything their downline sells.

This might not sound like a lot but consider that their clothing items are high-end fashion. They cater to working women who want to be able to fill their wardrobe without having to run to the mall. Each item in their fashion line runs between $65-200, so commissions can add up quickly if you have an active team.

However, there are quotas to make each season. So, if you aren’t actively selling each month then you risk losing more money than you make. Each season you must purchase a minimum of $2,500 of clothing which you will then sell to your customers.

If you don’t sell those clothes then you lose your investment. If you love fashion and you love sharing your fashion finds with friends, but you don’t want to make a large up-front investment, then there is another way.

An Easier Way to Make Money Recommending Fashion

Affiliate marketing works similar to network marketing, except you don’t have to haul any inventory to friends’ houses every Saturday night.

Instead, you still share your fashion finds with your friends, but you do it online. And you don’t have to purchase thousands of dollars of inventory.

To succeed in affiliate marketing, you build your following online and then share your affiliate links when you find great items that you want to share. When someone clicks on your link and makes a purchase, you make a small commission. While the commission percentages might be small, if you have a large enough following you can make great money from home.

So, if you’re interested in learning how to do this, we’re sharing with you our proven three-step method to online affiliate marketing.

Pick Your Platform

First, you need to choose the platform where you want to build your business. Thanks to the dozens of social media websites available, you don’t even need a website to build a booming business online. From social media platforms like TikTok to YouTube and Facebook, people all over the world are building their following.

So, decide where you’ll share your fashion tips, finds, and deals. Then create your profile and start to build your following. This step is crucial as people want to get advice from people they trust, so build trust and relationships with your followers online.

Share Your Favorite Fashion Styles

For fashion, you want to focus on image-friendly social sharing sites. This could include Instagram or Pinterest where you’ll share beautiful, share-worthy images of your favorite fashion finds.

To do this effectively, you need to share every day and you need to share more than just links to clothes. You need to share tips for how to create amazing outfits. Share how to make your daytime workwear into evening fashionwear. Your number one job as an affiliate marketer is to build your following and share every day.

Link to Your Favorite Brands

After you’ve built a relationship with your followers and gained their trust as a fashionista, then you’re ready to start making money. Now is when you’ll share your affiliate link and encourage your followers to purchase your amazing new finds.

As a general rule of thumb for about every four or five posts, you can sell something. If your followers think that you’re selling to them every time you post, they will lose interest. Give value more than you ask for a sale and your followers will trust you when you recommend your favorite fashion styles.

Make It Fashion: Its Always Fashionable to Make Money Online

There are thousands of MLM companies out there. Don’t risk your hard-earned money getting scammed by one. If you’re interested in making money online and building a successful business, then consider affiliate marketing instead.

Yes, you can make money online. And if you find your personal trend, you can make it fashion and style-friendly advice. We’ve shared with you the three steps to take to build your online business, now it’s your turn to get started so you can build the fashion-forward business you’ve always dreamed about.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Everything You Need to Know About Color Street MLM

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

One of the best MLM companies to advertise towards stay-at-home moms who want to make money working from their smartphones is Color Street. You might be wondering why that is?

Well, moms are incredibly busy trying to raise their children, and they rarely get time to themselves. Color Street offers them an easy and affordable manicure that they can do in minutes. That way, they will have cute nails that can last up to two weeks even through the trials and tribulations of motherhood.

Color Street isn’t only for stay-at-home moms but rather for anyone who wants to make some extra money by selling nail polish strips to friends and family through social media and by hosting parties.

Be sure to keep reading for our guide on everything you need to know about Color Street MLM.

How to Get Started Selling Color Street

Getting started selling Color Street’s nail products can be a bit of a process. Yet, like most MLM companies if you already know someone that is involved it will be much easier.

People that sell Color Street are called Stylists, and you will need to know a Stylist’s team that you can join. The Color Street website can help you find a Stylist in your area if you don’t know any friends or family members are already selling.

Once you’ve found a stylist, you’re ready to buy the products you’ll want to sell. That means you’ll initially be investing $129 of your own money before you can even make a dime. Color Street says that this is a $250 value and comes with tons of business supplies that you will need.

You’re also required to pay a monthly fee of $9.95 after joining. They claim this fee is to keep your eSuite subscription active. These are fees that you need to think about investing before you can make money.

As you sell your products and gain more clients, you can achieve higher tiers within the company. You’ll get titles, such as Senior Stylist, Team Leader, Director, and many more.

You will make more money as a higher rank, but sometimes this can work against you. It is a very complicated system, and you will have to work hard to maintain higher rankings.

How Do You Make Money Selling Color Street?

The number one thing you’re looking for in a Color Street MLM review is how you’ll make money by selling the products. One thing that makes Color Street a good MLM company is their commission rate is fairly high.

You’ll find that when you sell products you will earn 25% of the sales you make. That money is paid out at the end of each week.

Another great part of selling with Color Street is that there are bonuses too! If you hit a high sales volume, such as $600 or more, you can earn up to an additional 10% commission.

You can also earn money by recruiting other Stylists to join your team and start selling Color Street. You can earn 3% of the commission from Stylists that are just joining.

How Can Someone Be Succesful Selling Color Street?

If you think selling Color Street sounds good to you, you might be wondering how you can become successful selling the products. There are different ways that you can go about selling these nail products.

One of the first and most beneficial ways is by hosting parties. Pre-COVID, many Stylists were able to have parties at their homes where they could invite over guests and demonstrate the nail strips. After the demonstration, guests are interested in what you’re selling and will be more inclined to purchase your products.

The problem with these types of parties is that people will expect food, drinks, and sometimes even games so that they’re entertaining. You’ll find that the costs of hosting parties to get more sales and customers can add up quickly if you’re not careful.

Currently, with the state of our world, many parties have switched to online through Zoom or Facebook live. Some Stylists have found that this isn’t as effective as an in-person party, but it does cut down on the costs of hosting a party.

Another way to be successful with selling Color Street nails is by having a large social media following. When you’re first starting, a lot of your clients are going to be your friends and family members. If you’re not careful, they can start to get annoyed and think you’re always trying to sell to them.

Instead, to be successful, you need to branch out and start marketing to other people that will want to buy Color Street nails. Grow your social media following on all platforms so that more people will become interested in what you’re selling.

Is Color Street a Scam?

When researching any MLM company, you might be wondering if you’re getting yourself into a scam. Overall, Color Street is not a scam. If you’re interested in a quick and easy manicure, selling these products could beneficial to you.

Yet, if you want to make money online, Color Street isn’t the best option. It is going to take a lot of time and dedication to grow a social media following and build a team of people that want to sell Color Street with you.

There are also a ton of added costs that will be coming out of your pocket. Selling Color Street and making a profit can be very difficult, especially if you’re looking for an easy way to make money from home.

The Bottom Line About Color Street MLM

If you’re still on the fence about Color Street and making money from your smartphone, the choice is up to you. It is a way for you to make money from home, yet you’re going to be spending hours building up a following and convincing other people to join you.

Pampered Chef MLM Review: Making Money Selling Kitchen Supplies?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Everyone who has an entrepreneurial mind seems to be looking for a side hustle these days, or even an entirely new career. If you’ve always envisioned yourself as a business owner MLM companies may be your best bet for bringing in more cash.

There’s no lack of MLM companies to invest in, the trouble is finding the right one for you. Pampered Chef MLM sells high-end cookware, cookbooks, and food products. Plenty of people are buzzing about the company, but you may be wondering if it’s right for you.

If you’re interested in a kitchen MLM or a food MLM, Pampered Chef could be just what you’re looking for. Here’s our take on whether or not you can make money selling their products, so keep reading to find out more.

A Brief History of Pampered Chef MLM

One thing that makes Pampered Chef unique is that it has a solid history in the business world. Unlike other MLMs, like LuLaRoe and Scentsy, Pampered Chef isn’t a recently founded MLM. The company was founded in 1980, so they have a little over 40 years of experience in the food industry.

The founder, Doris Christopher, was an avid cook that wanted to find a way to educate other people about the best ways to utilize their kitchen and utensils. When Doris threw her first cooking party she wanted to share her expertise with her friends. Little did she know that she was about to start a business empire.

After taking some inspiration from Tupperware, she launched her own line of high-end utensils and cookware. The company is headquartered in Illinois, but they have a presence in the UK, Canada, Mexico, France, and Germany.

Can I Make Money With Pampered Chef?

The answer to this question is a resounding yes, but that’s only if you handle your business the right way (more on that soon).

If you’re looking for one of the best MLM companies to work for, consider working for Pampered Chef. One major benefit of selling Pampered Chef products is that you earn a direct commission on what you sell. A lot of other retail-based MLMs base their profit models off of resale profit.

Selling Pampered Chef products can feel like a regular job. The company pays its consultants twice a month. You also don’t have to worry about deliveries, paying for host benefits, or having to deal with high overhead costs.

Although you do get bonuses for recruiting other people to sell, you don’t earn the majority of your profits through referrals. This allows people to hyper-focus on selling the product itself instead of trying to sell the business.

How to Make Money With Pampered Chef

You know that Pampered Chef is a legitimate company and now you have a little insight into how people earn their money. Now that we covered that, let’s dive into ways you can get the most out of your Pampered Chef sales.

This may come as a surprise to you, but you don’t have to be a master chef to sell these products. All you need to do is use the right sales techniques to attract customers.

If you’re serious about selling Pampered Chef and want to bring in money, here are our recommendations on how you can maximize your profits.

Utilize Social Media

Social media has become such a vital tool for people in the sales industry. If you aren’t already active on social media, now is a great time to start building your presence.

Pictures are nice ways to show off products, but videos that demonstrate the right way to use them are even better. You’ll have a more interactive way to engage potential customers, and the videos you make could be referenced later if people need ideas on how to use their products.

If you really want to kick your social media use into high gear, consider experimenting with paid social ads.

Social media advertising is surprisingly affordable and very easy to manage on your own. Start by targeting people interested in food and cooking in your immediate area. From there you can gather more metrics around what copy and visuals work and find even better ways to reach new potential customers.

Know Your Products

You may not have to be a world-class cook to sell Pampered Chef, but you should know the best ways to use your products. Before you start selling products at parties and events, we highly recommend taking some time to understand what you’re selling.

Go to their website and read up on their product descriptions. Take note of any special features (non-stick coating, BPA free, etc) so you can bring them up during your pitches.

We also think it’s a good idea to try to use what you’re selling at least once. That way you’ll be able to give people a good idea of what it’s like to use what they’re buying.

Find Your Audience

When some people join an MLM, they make the mistake of trying to pitch their product to anyone who will listen to them. Trying to convince people that would never be interested in your product isn’t just time-consuming, it’s eating into your profits.

If you’re starting off with selling to family and friends, only try to sell to the ones that you know enjoy cooking. Get an idea of what their needs are in the kitchen, and find ways for Pampered Chef products to help them.

Starting off with this route can help you learn a lot about target customers that you aren’t already familiar with. This can make attracting new customers a lot easier.

Find Your MLM Match

Out of all the MLMs you could sell for, Pampered Chef MLM is a pretty solid choice. Their revenue model emphasizes selling products over gaining people, and there are plenty of ways for you to successfully sell it.

Are you not convinced that Pampered Chef is the right MLM for you after reading this post? Don’t worry, there are plenty of other great companies you could work with and we know plenty about them all! Browse our blog to learn our latest thoughts on today’s most popular MLM brands.

Pruvit MLM: Everything You Need to Know

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Have you heard about the benefits of the keto diet? Do you want to turn those benefits into an income stream? You may want to consider the Pruvit MLM opportunity.

Not only can you learn about and sell keto products, but you can use them yourself. And you can make some money along the way.

Read on to learn if you should join Pruvit.

What Is Pruvit?

Pruvit, which you pronounce as “prove it,” is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells health products. They offer a lot of products that you can use when following a keto diet.

The company has been around since 2014, and the founder created it after seeing someone be successful with direct selling. However, like other MLM companies, it can be hard to be successful when selling Pruvit.

How to Join

To join the Pruvit MLM, you will need to buy a Promoter Pack and register as a Promoter. Pruvit recommends you find someone to refer you before signing up. Once you join, you can become a referrer and give your code to others to sign up.

The company offers two Promoter Packs, one for $650 and the other for $1,300. You will need to buy one of them so that you can start selling the products. Each year, you’ll also have to pay $37 to be a member.

Can You Make Money?

You can make money with the Pruvit MLM opportunity by selling products and recruiting other people to sell. Pruvit has a complicated compensation plan regarding how you can earn commissions on sales you make and sales that your recruits make.

To make your commissions, you also have to maintain a certain personal qualifying volume. If you don’t, you will lose your engaged status, so you won’t make money on sales that period. Because of that, you may need to buy a lot more than what you can sell.

How Much You Can Make

While you can make money with the Pruvit MLM company, you probably won’t make much. The average income for all of 2018 was $1,666.28. However, the median income, which is in the middle was only $36.80 for the entire year.

Promoters who qualified for higher ranks through recruiting did have better income prospects. However, not many sellers had advanced through the ranks, so only a small percentage made a living wage.

The averages for the higher ranks seem good, but averages can ignore the fact that there are outliers. For example, Rank 5 sellers made anywhere from nothing to over $800,000 with the average being only $876.34.

Pros of the Pruvit MLM

The Pruvit MLM opportunity isn’t the best option if you want to make a lot of money. However, some people may want to join for more than the income potential.

Here are a few benefits of selling Pruvit products.

Variety of Products

Pruvit sells many products, and you have access to all of them as a customer and seller. Whether you want to focus on their KETO//OS NAT or the other options, you can sell what you and your audience want.

In that way, the Pruvit MLM is similar to traditional affiliate marketing. You don’t have to stick to one product or one type of product, so you may be able to increase your chances of getting a sale.

Access to Community

You can access the Help Center on Pruvit’s website to learn more about the company. They also have a Facebook page, a blog, and events where you can learn more and connect with other Pruvit sellers.

Sometimes, working from home can be lonely. But many MLMs like to share the community aspect to convince people to join. If you want to connect with other people who love health and the keto diet, Pruvit may be a good fit for you.

Cons of the Pruvit MLM

Unfortunately, there are more cons to the Pruvit MLM opportunity than pros. Before you invest your money into this company, you should consider some of the disadvantages.

Then, you can make sure it’s right for you before you waste your next paycheck.

Expensive to Join

While Pruvit isn’t one of the most expensive MLM companies to join, it’s not cheap. You need to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get your starter pack and sign up.

After that, you need to pay to stay active if you want to earn commissions. The strict volume requirements can make it hard to save money, especially if you aren’t making many sales.

You also have to pay an annual membership fee. While other companies have membership fees, it’s still something you won’t find with most affiliate marketing programs.

A Lot of Competition

When you sell Pruvit products, you can face competition from the thousands of other Promoters. If you recruit new sellers, you will then face even more competition.

However, you also have to compete with the many other health and wellness products outside of Pruvit. If you can’t make the products stand out or seem unique, you won’t be able to sell them.

It doesn’t help that some of the Pruvit products are much more expensive than similar products on the market. Unless your audience includes people with a lot of disposable income, you may not make many sales.

False Claims

If you decide to join Pruvit, you should control what you say about the products. Don’t make any false claims about what they can do for weight or health problems.

But you could do your best at that and still have problems because of other sellers. If someone has heard of Pruvit and has heard a ridiculous claim, it can be impossible to make a sale, even when you’re honest. Fighting those bad first impressions isn’t easy, and you can’t control what others say about the brand.

Is Pruvit Worth It?

The Pruvit MLM opportunity can seem enticing, especially to someone who already loves health and wellness and wants to follow a keto diet. However, the company has many of the same features as other MLMs.

It can be expensive to join, and the products can be difficult to sell. Even if you do make sales, you may not make much or any money from your hard work.

Is 4Life a Credible MLM Company?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Have you wanted to make money selling products you love on your own schedule? Do you like supplements and wellness? 4Life may be the best MLM company for you.

But like all MLMs, it has its share of expensive products and a low earning potential. Before you sign up for the company, consider if it’s worth your time.

Keep reading to learn more about 4Life.

What Is 4Life?

4Life is a multi-level marketing company that sells expensive nutritional supplements and other health and beauty products. The company started in the 1990s, and anyone can join and sell the products.

While it’s not a pyramid scheme, it does share many similarities with pyramid schemes and other MLMs. However, it may be a good company if you want to sell supplements and make your own schedule.

How to Join

To join 4Life, you will need to buy an enrollment kit for $25. You can buy the kit online or call 4Life to order yours, and you can also upgrade to more advanced starter kits.

If someone refers you to 4Life, you can use their enroller ID when you signup. Otherwise, the company can assign you someone, and that person will be your direct upline. You’ll also need someone to be your sponsor, and that can be the same person as who enrolls you.

After you join, you will need to sell at least $120 of product to stay active. If you don’t make that many sales, you can buy the products to stay active, but you will still need to pay for them.

Can You Make Money?

You can make money with 4Life in the same ways as with other MLMs. First, you can sell the products and make commissions when people buy something. You can also recruit people to sell under you and make money on their sales. 4Life claims they can pay you as soon as the next day after you make a sale.

If you recruit people, you can make up to 64% of the volume that can result in commissions. Then, you don’t have to worry about making as many sales to make money.

How Much You Can Make

While you can make money in different ways, you probably won’t make a ton of money with 4Life. In 2019, over 96.7% of distributors earned an average of $6,576 or less all year. About 86.7% earned an average of $900 or less in 2019.

According to 4Life, about 16% of distributors didn’t make any money at all during that period. However, those numbers don’t include potential business expenses, like buying products to stay active. Odds are, you won’t make any money or at least not any profit.

Pros of 4Life

When considering which MLM company to join, you should consider the pros. 4Life does have a couple of advantages that may make it worth trying if you want to earn money this way.

Here are the pros to consider before joining 4Life.

Company History

Because 4Life has been around since the late 1990s, they are ahead of some other MLMs in terms of history and legitimacy. While the company won’t necessarily make you rich, you can know that it most likely won’t shut down soon.

If you want a slow and steady way to make money, that can be a good thing. Then, you don’t have to put in a ton of work only to lose everything when the company closes. It may not be super popular, but it does cover a need, so it’s a relatively stable business.

Good Ratings

Whether you want to participate in affiliate marketing, MLMs, or to sell your own products, ratings are essential. Fortunately, many customers have left good ratings and reviews for 4Life products.

If you want to convince people to buy, you can share other customer reviews. Seeing how the products have helped others may convince your customers to buy something. Then, you can earn more commissions.

Cons of 4Life

Unfortunately, there aren’t many advantages of selling 4Life MLM products. You may be able to make some money, and it does have a good history, but that’s where the good things end.

Consider a few cons before you join 4Life.

Expensive to Buy and Sell

At first, joining 4Life can seem cheap, with a fee of only $25. However, you will need to sell a lot to stay active each month. If you can’t sell enough, you may decide to buy the products yourself to maintain your status.

But the high price of the products may turn off potential customers. You can find many similar products for a fraction of the price, and some are from brands that people know and love.

Even if you can find customers, you might need to work harder to convince them that 4Life products are better. And that can be difficult, especially if you decide to sell online where people can’t test things out ahead of time.

Low Income Potential

Another con that you will find with many MLM companies is the low income potential. Some 4Life distributors can make hundreds of thousands each month and millions a year.

However, those numbers only occur for less than 1% of all sellers. The odds of that happening are slim, and it will take a lot of time and effort to get there.

And while you may get sales, your sales may not be enough to offset your expenses. You might also not make much per hour if you have to work a lot for those sales.

Emphasis on Recruiting

The 4Life MLM company also has the same recruiting structure as similar businesses. While you don’t have to recruit other sellers to sell products, recruiting is your best chance at making decent money.

However, recruiting people can dilute your client base by adding competition. Then, you may struggle even more to make sales and earn money, while something like affiliate marketing won’t have that problem.

Is 4Life the MLM Company for You?

When deciding which MLM company to join, you may come across 4Life. The company sells supplements and other wellness products, and some sellers make a lot of money.

However, that’s not the case for most people. 4Life may not be a pyramid scheme, but it can be almost impossible to earn any money from it.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Omnilife Review: Making Money From Selling Wellness Products?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Selling wellness products to your friends and family sounds like a great job. You get to work from home, on your own schedule, and spend time promoting products from a brand you already like, Omnilife.

In this Omnilife review, I’m going to walk you through the pros and cons of joining this wellness MLM. I’ve got hard facts for you about what the reality of working with Omnilife is like.

And bonus: I’ll let you in on the worst kept secret in the marketing industry. It’s an online alternative to multi-level marketing that is even easier to get started in.

Omnilife Review

Omnilife sells nutrition and cosmetic products. When distributors join, they can begin selling these products to people they know in their direct social network.

In MLMs or multi-level marketing companies, distributors are recruited by existing sellers in the MLM. They then purchase their own set of inventory to sell and start to find customers and their own distributor recruits.

This type of marketing brings products directly into the customers’ hands from a distributor, so it is known as direct sales.

For a company like Omnilife, this means customers can meet with distributors. They see products in person or even test them out, like aloe vera drinks or cosmetic compact foundations.

How to Get Started as a Distributor

To get started as an Omnilife distributor, you sign up online and agree to work with them. Then you buy your first kit.

Kits are available in Spanish and English. The nutritional kit and the KIT SEYTÚ are both $38.85. At this time you can also add more products to your initial inventory stockpile, depending on how serious you want to get right at the start.

How Distributors Make Money

The big question everyone has when they are looking into an opportunity like Omnilife is what kind of income they can reasonably expect from this kind of business.

Omnilife does have a highly detailed compensation plan. It shows how distributors move through ranked levels where they can earn different types of points.

Each level earns differently. Omnilife suggests that distributors concentrate on consume and retail, sponsoring, developing teams, retention/loyalty, and leadership as individual channels for profiting in Omnilife.

Distributors should also remember that they are responsible for all business overhead. They are an independent distributor, not an employee. When calculating profit, they must subtract these costs.

The Structure of Multi-Level Marketing

In multi-level marketing companies and a health MLM like Omnilife, distributors are recruited into a “downline.” This is the line of sellers descending from the first person who started recruiting. Each member in an “upline” gets a portion of the sales from those below them.

This can concentrate the majority of the profit towards the top of the hierarchy. As MLMs get popular like Omnilife, territories may be saturated by sellers. This can make customers and potential recruits scarce.

For these reasons, many of the newest distributors in MLM companies struggle to make any significant profit.

Should I Become a Distributor?

If you are thinking about becoming a distributor, I hope this review has given you an illustration of what selling health and wellness products with Omnilife looks like.

As someone who has been an MLM distributor before, I know why they are an attractive business prospect. But with high costs to buy into inventory and no assurance of making meaningful sales, it is a very uncertain business opportunity to take on.

I also know that my success improved significantly when I left network marketing and MLMs behind and branched out to a better marketing opportunity.

If you’re considering joining multi-level marketing, why not check out affiliate marketing instead? With lower cost to entry and less financial risk as you get started, affiliate marketing is an online business opportunity that is great for those who excel at network marketing.

Why You Should Try Affiliate Marketing

If you thought you would be good at network marketing like the Omnilife MLM, then you need to know about affiliate marketing. It can be a job you run yourself at home—without the hassle of buying into someone else’s inventory.

Affiliate marketing is built for people who are good at making social connections with customers and audiences and who are good at showcasing a great product. That’s why people who have done network marketing before may find a home in affiliate marketing.

How to Get Started in Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is when you direct an audience to a seller’s products. You never handle the inventory for that product. You don’t have anything to do with the sales process of the product.

Instead, what you do is connect your digital audience with interesting products.

How do you get a digital audience? You can build up an audience by creating interesting content online, like a blog, a series of review videos, or informative social media posts.

In this content, you integrate mentions or reviews of products that sellers need sales directed towards. You then get a link unique to you to send your audience to the seller.

Each time someone clicks on that link and purchases the product, you get a cut of the sales as compensation for steering them there.

Affiliate marketers often get hooked up with a program that matches them with sellers. This way they can make content for products in need of promotion without spending all of their time on research.

Modere Review: Legit MLM Company or Sc

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Previous studies have shown that as many as 99% of people that participate in MLM companies lose money in the process. Part of the reason for this is that people at the top of the downline get the most money, and those at the bottom aren’t able to earn as much until they rise up.

Even so, MLM companies are appealing to people now more than ever before because they are convenient, and they seem like easy, quick ways to make some extra cash.

After all, you can’t rise up the rankings unless you get started now… right? Are you interested in participating in the Modere MLM, but aren’t sure if you’ll actually be able to generate an income?

Check out our Modere review below to see if this is the best MLM company to make money with or not.

Modere is a multi-level marketing company that was founded in 2012. It promotes health and wellness through its products. They have a variety of different products on the market and have wellness products for external or internal use.

Some of the products that Modere has available include:

Laundry detergent
Soap
Pet health products
Weight management products
Vitamins and minerals
Skin cleansers
Toothpaste
Coffee and creamer

If you’ve heard of Modere before, it’s likely because of their weight loss management kits, such as the Lean Body System or M3 Body System. These are some of their most popular (and expensive) items.

Modere uses eco-friendly packaging for its products as part of the appeal.

Because there is such a variety in the items that Modere has available, they appeal to a large audience. Their products are considered “high-end” and can ship to many parts of the world.

When you sign up for Modere, you receive limited training on hosting parties, selling the products, and how the whole process works. While this training is not going to be very extensive, it may give you a good idea about what you can expect as a consultant with the company.

How Does It Work?

It’s easy to join Modere, and for just $39.99 per year, you can become a “Social Marketer” for their company.

After you join, you have certain requirements that must be met. This is similar to the setup of many MLMs in that you have to sell the products in order to be in good standing as a consultant.

In order to receive any commissions through Modere, you have to hit a certain number of Activity Points and Marketing Points. Activity Points are earned when you buy or sell products, and Marketing Points are earned when you are making purchases just for yourself.

Once you have 100 Activity Points, you don’t have to keep buying products for yourself and can start earning commissions.

The catch, however, is that you have to hit that goal every month.

If you miss the mark on one month, you’ll have to buy items for yourself in order to be eligible to make any commission money. As a result, you may have to spend more money than you’re taking in (even with commissions).

The monthly requirements are tough because even the best salesperson is likely to have a month or two that doesn’t go as well.

The sales requirements here make it hard to make money with Modere, especially if you’re not keeping track of how much you’re spending on their products.

Can You Make Money With a Modere MLM Position?

One thing to remember is that the health and wellness market today is extremely competitive. This is true whether you’re working in an MLM, general retail, or an e-commerce environment.

As a result, you may have a hard time convincing people to buy these pricey products when they may have other alternatives that they already use. If you’re not a skilled salesperson, you’re going to struggle with this MLM.

People want to be healthier and lose weight, but if you don’t have the know-how to convince them that “only this product will work!”, you may not meet the monthly requirements.

Even if you’re able to sell to every person in your network, you may still find that you’re not meeting your goals. Why is that? It could be because you haven’t been able to branch out to a wider audience.

Luckily, Legendary Marketer can help you learn more about affiliate marketing and how to market yourself with cutting-edge strategies.

We can give you the tools to convince people to buy your products and become downline participants. As a result, you can get people interested in health and wellness, but specifically Modere’s health and wellness products.

After that, you have more potential to make the money you were hoping the MLM would be able to give you.

Getting people to trust you, believe that you are reputable, and buy your products are all skills that you can learn to be successful in any business endeavor. Legendary Marketer can help you get there.

MLM Company Review: Nature’s Sunshine

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Did you know that one out of every 13 Americans participates in an MLM company at some point in their life?

Of course, not all MLM companies are equal. While you may have heard some positive stories about people working for them, there are plenty of negative stories out there, too.

Have you heard about Nature’s Sunshine and think it may be a great opportunity? Are you interested in working for the MLM company Nature’s Sunshine, but aren’t sure if you’ll be successful doing so?

Keep reading below for our full Nature’s Sunshine review.

What Is Nature’s Sunshine?

Nature’s Sunshine is a multi-level marketing company that sells a variety of dietary supplements. These include vitamins, minerals, personal products, and herbs.

Based in Lehi, UT, the company was founded in 1972. It had a mission to put natural herbs into capsules to take advantage of their healing powers. By doing so, they were able to make it easier for anyone that wanted to use herbs and take them as if they were taking regular medicine.

They boast about having effective products for many different categories, including:

Stress
Weight management
Poor immune system
Aches or pains
Women’s health or men’s health
Children’s health
Detox and cleansing
Prenatal
Memory and brain function

The company claims that these products are all 100% natural and will boost different systems in the body. It’s important to note that these products are not FDA approved.

On the outside, this company doesn’t even look like an MLM. However, it has been around for a long time, and as a result, is considered one of the “original” MLM companies out there.

How Does Working With Nature’s Sunshine Work?

To get started with Nature’s Sunshine, you’ll have to purchase a Welcome Kit on their website for $40. This is how you activate your consultant membership and start receiving shipments that you can then sell on your own.

Something of note about Nature’s Sunshine is that they encourage you to sell their products in retails stores.

Of course, if you don’t have a retail store to sell them in, this won’t apply to you. However, most MLMs won’t allow you to do this, so it’s good to know that Nature’s Sunshine will support this approach if you already have a store.

Otherwise, you will be selling this product to people you know, people online, or wherever else you may be able to find them.

Some of the incentives of signing up that Nature’s Sunshine advertises on their website include:

Discounts on future purchases
Discount code to share with friends
Fast pay to your account
Training and education about herbal benefits
Access to Nature’s Sunshine support specialists

While all of these things sound great on paper, actually making sales is the only way that you’ll be able to make this business idea work. If you’re not a natural salesperson or if you don’t have the right network, it can be difficult to sell these products, even with all of the incentives available.

How Much Money Can You Make With an MLM Company?

Through Nature’s Sunshine, consultants will earn commissions when they refer new customers to the company or when they add more people to their team that also purchase the products. You can only get commissions if you meet a certain rank requirement.

There are five levels of consultants, and each level will earn a different percentage of commission from sales. Reward payments are calculated based on:

What was the product you sold worth?
Are you eligible based on ranking and affiliate team members?
How many levels are between the upline consultant and yourself?

The big appeal of Nature’s Sunshine, however, is that you get to purchase all of their products at a discount. Then you are encouraged to sell them at retail price.

In addition to that, as you make more sales, you will be able to increase your consultant ranking and be eligible for a bigger commission.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to say how much a person will make for any MLM company because it does come down to the numbers. If you don’t make the sales, you won’t make the money — it’s as simple as that.

How Can You Be Successful With Nature’s Sunshine?

For any online business to be a success, you have to have the right marketing skills.

MLMs don’t tell you this, but you are going to really struggle to make money in their programs if you don’t already have some of the basic business skills that you need. Even if you’re reaching out to every single person you know, you’re still only reaching the people that you know!

There is a much wider audience that you need to connect with to really make some money. That’s where Legendary Marketer can help. We will give you the tools that you need so that your experience in an MLM, or any other business, is always a triumph.

Taking the time to invest in yourself will pay off in the long run because you can make more sales (and make more money).

Legendary Marketer Can Help

Even if you’re working for the best MLM company, you have to have the right skills to be successful.

Luckily, finding information about marketing and learning the skills you need is as easy as going online.

If you think you’re ready to try affiliate marketing instead, check out our online class that will help you learn how to make money from home. Your path toward learning effective affiliate marketing strategies begins today.

Is Team National a Scam?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

There have been several questions raised when it comes to the legitimacy of Team National. Is it a legitimate MLM business, or should it be written off as just another scheme that only benefits the person that starts the business?

Below we’re going to provide you with an in-depth Team National review and let you decide for yourself if you want to become your own boss.

What is Team National MLM Company?

The Team National MLM company makes the majority of their earners by selling memberships to people that have become members of their savings club. They are essentially a marketing company that focuses on networking.

One reason that people have had issues deciding whether this company is a scam or not is due to the number of years that they’ve been around. Dick Loehr founded the company.

He is the mastermind behind the various membership plans that are offered to clients today. You can find the national headquarters in South Florida, where it all began in 1996.

The company’s basis is to provide members with choices that they didn’t have access to before they became Team National members. The company revolves around the idea of bringing both families and individual people together as one.

While Dick is no longer in charge, the company is still being run and operated by his daughter, Angela, and wife, MaryLou.

How Does It Work?

When you visit the site and are looking to access any information, you must first enter your login to gain access. After you’ve joined the company will send you an email that contains the information you need, including:

IMD number
Welcome video
Welcome email

The IMD number is what new members will use to register their accounts and get the login information. After the initial registration process, you will have to visit another page to enroll your family in the savings club.

From there, members are given access to resources that provide them with information about all the saving opportunities they now have after enrolling themselves and their families. Some areas where members can begin to save include:

Health discount card
Warranties
Cellphone plans
Roadside Assistance

The new member will be prompted to list people they want to share their savings with. The list you’ve made will also serve as the guestlist for a meeting that you will host to tell people about all that TM offers and why they should join.

Membership Plans

One thing that should be noted about Team National MLM memberships is that they are nowhere near the spectrum’s cheap end. There are two plans that people can choose from when signing up to use this direct-selling platform.

The standard membership costs $795. The standard package offers a maximum of two years of savings opportunities and can be used by the entire family. The premium membership is $2,195.

Under the premium membership, you are awarded a lifetime membership plan that can cover your whole family. This only includes the immediate family that you have.

If you’re a business owner using the service, you’re also eligible to share it with five employees. Each time you sign someone up for a membership, you earn a point.

Premium membership signups are worth 3 points, while standard membership signups are only worth 1 point. The bonus advantage to signing people up for memberships is that your signups aren’t the only ones that count.

Once you’ve signed up others to your team, you will also receive points for the people they sign up for.

Bonuses

As a member of the TM company, they want to provide you with bonuses for all the hard work that you put into selling the products the business offers. There is a bonus system used, and you are awarded different prizes based on the level you achieve.

The first level is known as the Presidential level, and you reach this level after getting 3 progression checks in a row. To earn this, you must have added 10 standard and 10 premium memberships to your roster.

In total, there are 6 levels that members can achieve through persistent hard work and selling.

Is It Worth?

If you’re someone that’s truly into savings, the membership is worth it in the long run. You’ve got to sell specific numbers of memberships and products to achieve each level of the bonus scale.

The majority of the money you will make from this company doesn’t come from signing people up as Team National Members. If you don’t feel like you have the time to put into hosting meetings and detailing for others reasons that they would want to sign up for a membership, it might not be the right thing for you to do.

You might also feel like you can’t do it because you’re not a natural seller, but there are ways around that. There are ways to educate yourself and become the seller that you were meant to be.

Team National: Scam Or Legitimate Business?

The decision about whether Team National is a real business or not comes down to your personal views about the company. If you’ve joined the team or are thinking about it, we encourage you to educate yourself and become the marketer you were born to be.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

How Can You Make Money From Isagenix MLM?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

All over the internet, there are people claiming to live lavish lifestyles from their Isagenix business. They claim to be healthier, wealthier, and overall better after joining the Isagenix MLM, but how much of it is true, and how much is flexing a fake lifestyle?

Isagenix is tempting. You see these people on warm beaches claiming that they’re about to give you the opportunity of a lifetime. They’re fit, stylish, and youthful. Can that be you too?

Don’t act too quickly. We’re here to give you the nitty-gritty details of this personal care MLM so you can make an informed decision about your potential secondary income stream. Keep reading to learn more.

What Is Isagenix?

Isagenix is a multi-level marketing company. It was founded in 2002, making it one of the newer, while still well-established, MLMs. It has distributors based in fourteen countries.

The company itself has sales of near (or over) one billion dollars per year. There are over 200,000 active distributors. They focus on “direct sales” or “network marketing,” meaning that their business is technically not a pyramid scheme.

They sell “wellness products” for vitality, weight loss, performance, and overall “well-being.” They include shakes, children’s vitamins, and essential oils, among other things.

What Are Their Products?

So what does it mean when we say “wellness products?” It’s somewhat of a vague term. Overall, Isagenix sells the idea of wellness. While their products may have value, the products are all about their image.

Their shakes are one of their most popular products. They come in a variety of tempting flavors like caramel brulee and dutch chocolate. The website makes them look like luxurious milkshakes.

They also sell various mix-ins for the shakes, like greens and immunity boosters. They offer a “collagen elixir” beauty product, natural sleep products, products that claim to be good for joint relief, and dietary supplements.

Their “Isagenesis” product claims to set back the clock on your body to make you more youthful with “bioactive herbs and vitamins.”

Isagenix has over fifty categories of products on its website. So with so many products, they must be flying off of the shelves and making money, right?

Are They Worthwhile to the Consumer?

When it comes to direct sales, you need to know if the products are actually worth buying. If your customers find out that these “wellness products” aren’t actually helping them, they won’t buy from you anymore.

So let’s talk about those products. We can’t cover everything (remember, over fifty categories!) but we can cover the main ones.

As with most companies that sell them, shakes are some of the most popular products. Their primary one is “Isalean,” a weightloss shake (even if they don’t market that way per se).

You can get the product grouped together with vitamins and mix-ins for a whopping $272. The promotional pictures show people going from “average” bodies to people with serious muscles.

Let’s say that you don’t want that whole package, though, and you only want the shake. The Isalean shake is $43. That $43 gets you 14 servings of shakes (so half of a month, roughly) with 24g of protein per serving.

Furthermore, you won’t get those muscles from drinking nutrition shakes. Most people will be disappointed with their results.

For another example, they sell vitamin packs. Each pack is 30 days’ worth of multivitamins. The cost? $70.

In comparison, you can get more servings of shakes for half the cost from other brands that are common at grocery or nutrition stores. Multivitamins can be purchased for under $10 and you might pay slightly more to get extra things like Omega 3s.

Overall, no, these products aren’t worthwhile, and as soon as your customers realize that, they won’t come back.

What’s the Income Structure?

Okay, so with products this expensive that must mean that it’s a pretty straightforward income structure, right? You sell a product and get a big commission, easy.

This isn’t true.

As a distributor, you get products at a lower cost. This is one of the things that lure people in in the first place. When you sell someone a product at retail price, you get the difference.

As you collect downlines, you start earning a percentage of their money as well. The information that they have available regarding this structure isn’t easy to interpret, and that’s by design.

There’s a reason that many people who promote Isagenix do it with flowery language about how they’ve reached financial freedom. They claim that they just want to help you reach your full potential and that if you’re not afraid of making changes, you too can become wealthy off of this business opportunity.

While it seems like they’re doing this out of the kindness of their own hearts, the reality is that the income structure means that to make substantial money, they need to collect downlines (who also have downlines) if they want to succeed.

Can You Really Earn Substantial Money with the Isagenix MLM?

To be frank: yes, you can earn money with Isagenix. That said, you probably won’t.

The people making money are at the top of their pyramids. Some of them have been doing this since the company started.

So what about your Facebook and Instagram friends? What about their lavish lifestyles and awesome trips? It’s possible that they’re not making much money either.

Their job is to sell you a lifestyle to get you to join Isagenix. If they’re successful enough that they’ve accumulated a lot of downlines, it’s because they’re good at marketing.

These people have a huge amount of followers, good people skills, and the ability to manipulate others and sell themselves. Learning these marketing skills is crucial if you want to succeed.

Making Money With Isagenix Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up to Be

The Isagenix MLM is tempting. The delicious-looking shakes, fancy lifestyles, and confusing income structure make this seem like a good deal.

In reality, it’s not your best bet. If you’re a marketing pro with a large following you can give it a shot, but if not, try something else.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Market America Review: Should You Trust Them?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Did you know that only 25% of MLM participants earn money, and of that, only 3% earn a livable income for a one-person household?

It’s easy to see e-commerce conglomerates like Market America and get swept up in their seeming online success, but that doesn’t always guarantee your online success.

If you’re interested in joining the “best” MLM company because you’re looking for ways to have an online business, then this blog is for you.

Read on as we give you our honest Market America review and show you how the business works. We’ll also discuss alternative strategies proven to help grow online businesses and how they can help you too.

Let’s begin!

What Is Market America?

Founded in 1992 by JR and Loren Ridinger, the former Amway distributors, Market America is a product brokerage MLM company.

As a multi-level marketing company, it works by persuading individuals to subscribe to their program, and in return, they receive online marketing training materials and products they can then sell and earn commissions from. The goal is to give people a chance to throw away the 9-5 and start working for themselves!

Originally operating as MarketAmerica.com, it bought the e-commerce business Shop.com from Microsoft in 2010. Now, Market America acts as a corporate and careers website, while Shop.com is their e-commerce hub.

The Difference

While most MLM companies are the same, there is a key difference in Market America that almost makes their business admirable.

Instead of making a product or product range, Market America sells products that others make. So, instead of spending money manufacturing products, they partner with other companies and sell and promote their items through individuals like us, and on their website.

How Does Market America’s MLM Work?

So how does this work? Why wouldn’t companies want to sell their own items?

Market America promises companies that if they partner with them and sell through their website, customers will buy more of their products because of cashback opportunities.

Cashback tells consumers you’re going to buy this product anyway, so you might as well buy it here where you’ll save money.

The Goods

Both Market America and Shop.com sell millions of products and services from very well-known brands. Nike, Apple, and so much more, covering a wide variety of industries like:

Weight Management
Health & Nutrition
Cosmetics
Anti-aging
Pet Care
Home & Garden
Financial Services
Auto Care

You could argue that most of its success comes from its extreme range of offers. Because it sells a bit of everything, it becomes this one-stop online shop. The same goes for workers. They can sell and specialize in almost anything.

Money Making Process

Now it’s time to figure out how this business can serve you. While the online shop is a big part, Market America’s MLM branch is what draws in a lot of people looking to develop marketing and sales skills. And with 700 employees and over 180,000 franchisee workers, they must be doing something good, right?

The framework for earning money with Market America happens in three ways.

The first way is by earning cash back. We mentioned this earlier, but to reiterate, when you or your customers purchase items online from Shop.com, you’ll earn money back.

The second way is through commission. You earn retail profits when you sign up for their program, and for every product you sell, you’ll earn a 30%-50% commission.

The last way is through recruitment. Once you’ve joined the MLM scheme, you can recruit others and essentially build a team that you can receive residual profits from. This is a part of their compensation plan or “The UnFrancise Business”, as they call it.

Sign Up Process

To get a slice of this money pie, you have to spend some to earn some.

When you first sign-up you’ll pay a one-time fee of $399, this payment includes your first month’s subscription as well as your starter kit. After that, you’ll pay a $129 monthly subscription fee.

In the subscription, you’ll get:

Starting Guide
Audio Training Series
Training and Seminar System
Coaching and Mentoring

On top of this, you’ll also need to routinely purchase between $130-$300 worth of products and attend seminars that can cost anywhere from $20 to $200. This doesn’t include any extra costs you’ll invest into the brand and yourself to help sell the product (i.e. travel costs, hosting, and attire).

Similar to Avon, and other MLM companies, this seems like a great way to gain crucial online marketing training, however remembering back to our statistics, that’s not always the case.

Is Market America a Scam?

So, is Market America a scam?

No, it’s not a scam. They offer real products that you can buy and safely know that you’ll receive them. Does this mean we recommend investing in MLM and signing up for their program? Absolutely not!

The infrastructure Market America has set up does not teach individuals valuable marketing skills. Most of the money, like all pyramid schemes, comes from recruitment rather than sales.

Gaining skills to help you grow your brand, business, or even yourself online doesn’t come from investing in falsehoods. True online success comes from understanding various marketing techniques, like affiliate marketing, and learning from experts, who like you, wanted to understand the ever-changing marketplace and build their online business.

The Honest Market America Review

We’re not here to bash any company. If you believe Market America has the answers you need, then you should follow that.

However, if you like seeing measurable progress, avoiding pricey subscription fees, and are truly looking to build your own business online, then try your hand at affiliate marketing instead.

FM World: A Successful Money Maker?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

In 2018, the global perfume market size was valued at $31.4 billion. Better yet, experts expect that this industry will grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2019 to 2025!

There’s never been a better time to get into perfume sales. And for those who don’t have the capital to start their own businesses, multilevel marketing (MLM) companies seem like just the thing!

One promising company people have been looking to is FM World. But is it worth your time to become a member?

Here, we get into the details of FM World so you can find out if it’s a worthwhile venture for you.

What Is FM World?

As we’ve discussed above, FM world is an MLM company. This means that their main way of making money is through direct sales and recruitments.

The “FM” in FM World is short for “Federico Mahora” and the company was established in 2004. Today, they have franchises all over the world. In addition to fragrances, this MLM company also sells:

Shower gels
Soaps
Candles
Oils
Creams
Balms
Chocolates
Beverages
Home care products
Legal services
Telecommunication services

As you can see, they have quite an array of products and services available to consumers.

How Can I Start With FM World?

While FM World isn’t located in every single country, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t become a member and distributor.

What’s great about FM World is they don’t charge a registration fee, which is almost unheard of in the MLM world. If you want to become a business partner, all you have to do is register for free.

But of course, with all the best MLM companies, you’ll need to pay to receive items to sell. FM World’s model is the same as any other MLM company: you have to pay for a kit.

In this case, you only have one choice for the starter kit and the cost will depend on which country you’re located. For example, if you’re in the UK, the starter kit can cost anywhere from £12 to £60.

That’s not the only associated cost with being an FM World business partner either.

As with all other MLMs, you’ll have to world to keep your status as a business partner. With FM World, you need to have a minimum of 50 Personal Points every month (£100+). This is done by either purchasing products to use yourself or to sell to others.

How Do You Make Money on FM World?

The business model for MLM distributors is pretty much the same across the board. This means there are 2 basic ways to make money with FM World: either directly sell their products or recruit other people to join as distributors too.

With the first option, you’ll get a commission for every product you sell. You’ll get to purchase them at wholesale from FM World and then sell them at retail prices, which means you’ll get to keep the difference.

With the second option, you’ll have to build a downline. If you’re successful, these people will build their own downline, and you’ll reap the benefits there. With the Effectiveness Level Commissions program, you’ll earn up to 20% of the sales each person in your downline makes.

How Much Do People Make With FM World MLM?

How much you make with FM World will depend on how successful you are with several things.

The first is how many products you sell, and for how much. In general, you can expect a profit of 30%.

The second is with your Group Points. This ranges from 300 to over 30,000.

The very bottom tier of 300 to 1,199 points gets you an Effectiveness Level of 3%. This is what your commissions are based off.

On the other hand, if you can manage to get over 30,000 Group Points in a month, you’ll earn the title of Golden Magnolia and this gives you an Effectiveness Level of 21%.

If you can manage to become even more successful, you can join the elite in the Orchid Level group. Each tier has a small share of the worldwide point turnover and a one-time bonus of the right to a certain Additional Number.

Lastly, you can reach the ultimate Star tier. This gives you an even bigger share of the worldwide point turnover.

With that said, unfortunately, FM World doesn’t have an income disclosure statement (IDS). This means that there is no information on how much their business partners earn.

But if we’d have to wager a guess, the majority of them don’t turn a profit, based on the statistics from other MLM companies.

How Can You Make a Huge Profit With FM World?

The fact that FM World doesn’t have an IDS probably means that the majority of business partners don’t early very much, if anything at all.

Of course, you can try selling their products for a profit, especially if you’re a charming and charismatic person. But the fact is, the big money lies within downlines. Here, you can make a killing without having to do anything besides recruiting a few people.

However, to do so, you’ll need to have impeccable marketing skills. The harsh reality is that the MLM industry is oversaturated, which means the right skillset to reach beyond basic networks is crucial.

For most entry online marketers or entrepreneurs, they won’t have the necessary knowledge and skills to do so. This is why so many people who become MLM members and distributors end up failing.

Affiliate Marketing Can Be a Better Choice

While FM World can be a fantastic opportunity, this is only true for a select few. And for these people, they only have that much success because they’ve already learned about the best marketing strategies and utilize them.

Instead of working with MLM companies, turn to affiliate marketing, which is much easier to learn and get started on. Not to mention, you’ll have a higher chance of turning a profit!

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Usana MLM Review: Make Money Selling Vitamins?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Did you know that 77% of Americans take dietary supplements? That’s a huge market there to tap into!

Starting your own vitamin company can take lots of work and money, which you may not have. This is why many people have turned to selling vitamins and other healthcare products for multilevel marketing (MLM) companies, such as Usana. This gives them access to products without having to spend startup costs themselves.

Are you interested in hearing more about Usana MLM? Then read on. We’re here with a Usana MLM review so you can see whether or not you’re a good match for this company.

What Is Usana MLM?

Usana MLM is a company that was started back in 1992 by Myron Wentz, who is a microbiologist with a PhD in immunology and microbiology. Usana sells a whole range of health and wellness products developed by Wentz himself. They include products in these categories:

Unlike some other vitamin MLM companies, Usana actually has good products that are scientifically proven to work. So not only can you get some great vitamins yourself, but you’ll also be able to sell high-quality products to others. This gives Usana MLM an advantage over other MLMs that sell healthcare products, as they’re usually not FDA-approved nor are they scientifically proven to work.

Another advantage of choosing Usana MLM is they’re a well-established company. Most other MLMs don’t stay in business for over 5 years, so the fact that Usana’s been around for almost 30 years means you won’t have to worry about them suddenly going under.

What Does It Take to Join Usana?

As with all MLMs, you need to pay to join. In Usana’s case, you’ll have to pay not only a startup fee of $29.95, but you’ll also have to keep paying them $20 every year to renew your membership. That’s not all either.

To make money through Usana, you have to sell their products, and these don’t come free. There are 3 packs you can choose from to sell once you’ve joined:

Basic Business Pack: $305
Entrepreneur Pack: $625
Professional Pack: $1,250

You also have the option of buying 200 points of their products ($240) if you don’t want to opt for any of the above packages. To stay active in Usana, you also have to pay $120 every month.

The plus side of joining an MLM is you get to be your own boss. You can work whenever you want, and however much you want. Of course, you’ll only see a good return on investment if you put hard work in.

Can You Make Money Selling Usana?

Theoretically, you can make money selling Usana products. All members can receive commissions from the vitamins and wellness products they sell, so long as they sell at least 200 PV in a month ($200+). They can also make money by recruiting others to do the same.

The latter is called building a downline. For every person you recruit, you’ll receive a commission on whatever they sell.

For the top 40 members in Usana, they get 1% of total commissionable sales volume. And if you’re able to achieve the rank of Gold Director or higher, you’ll get 3% of total commissionable sales volume for that month.

So in theory, if you can get large sales numbers and build a huge downline, you can generate some good income and even some decent passive income through your downline.

However, in reality, not many people are able to achieve this. In 2016, around half of all active members earned less than $500 in a year. And statistics show that over 92% of members lose money with this MLM.

While you certainly can make money with a Usana membership, the chances are very slim of you ending up in the green rather than red.

What Does It Take to Sell Big With Usana?

Whether you choose to sell directly or to build your downline, both are difficult to do without a good network. And to have a good network, you need some fantastic marketing skills. After all, if no one knows about Usana, how are you supposed to get them to join in the first place?

Most people have a solid foundation when it comes to networks, thanks to social media. But it simply isn’t enough to tout Usana to just your friends and family; not if you want to make good money, at least. It’s very likely that your own social network is already saturated with other MLM sellers, which means it’s vital that you have a wider reach.

What most MLM members are lacking is marketing know-how. The fact is, get-rich schemes only work if you know how to cast your net, and cast it wide.

For most people, they’re better off with other business opportunities, as acquiring the right marketing skills to sell big with the best MLM companies will take a long time and a big investment.

Try Affiliate Marketing Instead

As you can see, selling for Usana MLM can be quite an arduous process and the payoff isn’t very big for most people. This is especially true if you don’t have much marketing skills or knowledge and you’re counting on selling to your immediate social network.

A good alternative to MLM companies is affiliate marketing. Not only is it a lot easier to grasp, but it also takes less of a financial commitment and has a better return. It’s definitely a much better business model, as the barrier to entry is very low.

Everything You Need to Know About Mannatech

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Working online is one of the best ways to attain financial freedom. However, there are many businesses that offer false promises.

Signing up with multi-level marketing (MLM) companies can be a lottery, with few providing good financial returns.

However, some companies can offer exciting opportunities. It’s important to know how to identify a good business, so you don’t miss out on the chance to make a high income.

It’s essential to know precisely what MLM companies are offering and if the returns are realistic. In this Mannatech review, we’ll learn if this business is a good fit for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Read on to find out is Mannatech a scam, or is it a legitimate business offering?

What Is Mannatech?

Mannatech is an MLM company that sells dietary supplements and personal care products. Samuel Caster founded the company in 1993, and it has traded successfully for many years.

However, a note of caution is that for a period in 2008, it had a potentially serious issue. A class-action lawsuit raised potential claims of false health benefits made by the company.

It should be noted Mannatech settled this lawsuit without admitting liability.

The fact that the business is still trading now suggests it now has robust business practices.

Mannatech has over 200,000 self-employed sales associates, indicating many people make money as part of their group. Because Mannatech sells physical products, this is also a positive sign.

The best MLM companies have to sell products or services that benefit their customers. Many businesses are illegitimate because they only make money when associates recruit new members.

This practice is unethical, and you should never invest your money in a company that expects this of its members.

Mannatech claims to have sold $5 billion in product sales since its inception. These figures are positive for any aspiring associate. However, the critical factor is knowing if you can also share in their success.

How to Make Money With Mannatech

The Mannatech MLM model is one many companies use when hoping to make money by promoting healthcare products. The business state it invests tens of millions of dollars into scientific research.

They also test their products using human clinical trials. The company liaises with independent scientists and has gained many patents. All of this information suggests their products could be helpful.

When selling their healthcare products to clients, Mannatech aims to provide peace of mind to customers using this scientific data. There is little doubt some of their claims would encourage many people to buy their supplements.

However, before buying stock from any MLM company, you need to ask if you would buy the products for yourself. Businesses invest heavily in advertising that can impress even the most skeptical customer.

But this does not mean the products are good and can do what they say.

As with most MLM companies, you can make money from selling products directly to customers. Many associates begin selling to friends and family, which can be difficult if they don’t really want to buy.

People you already know may support you by purchasing one or two packages, but they won’t become long-term customers. You also risk annoying acquaintances by bothering them with a sales pitch.

Most MLM associates make extra money by recruiting other people. They then receive a percentage of any money this recruit makes when they sell products.

When that recruit brings another person into the business, the original person then takes a cut of their profits too. While this is a legitimate business model, it has many problems.

Downsides of MLM Companies

Slick advertising and high sales figures can dazzle someone looking to escape from their day job. But you need to be wary of buying into the hype.

MLM companies have a poor reputation in the community. Although often it is not true, many people think of them as pyramid schemes. This makes it harder to sell to customers who are already concerned about the business model.

Working with an MLM company also means you have to manage a lot of different people. New recruits often need a lot of guidance, which uses up your own time.

When mentoring others, you are not making money. Because many recruits lack motivation or are not good at selling, you can waste a lot of time.

You could invest weeks in a new seller, only to see them leave without earning any money.

However, joining an MLM company is not the only way to make money online. In fact, it’s not even the best way.

Affiliate Marketing Can Be More Effective

Affiliate marketing involves making money by promoting someone else’s products. This is one of the most effective ways to create a huge income online.

When you become an affiliate marketer, there is no need to buy the stock before making a sale. This means you reduce your risk of losing money.

The biggest risk when affiliate marketing is a lack of knowledge. Most people try to learn online marketing by themselves. But this is a potentially disastrous mistake.

Learning to be an affiliate marketer is not as simple as paying for Facebook ads. This is the quickest way to lose money because you are going about the process in the wrong way.

Affiliate marketing can be highly profitable, and you can sell high-ticket items that people already want to buy. It also allows you to make a passive income.

This means you can make money for many years from a one-off piece of work such as a blog post.

But there are tried and tested methods that increase your chances of success. By learning from an experienced professional, you can avoid many common mistakes.

Selling anything online is a competitive business. But many sellers don’t know how to do it correctly. If you partner with a professional coach, you can benefit from their years of experience.

The key is to work with the right partner.

Choose Legendary Marketer

This Mannatech MLM review should help you decide if this business model is right for you. You can also determine if affiliate marketing is a better fit.

The Legendary Marketer team has years of success in affiliate marketing. They have demonstrable results and no false claims, only facts.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course.

Skincare MLM: Is Oriflame Worth it?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

The beauty industry is not only profitable but continues to grow, especially considering that teenagers spend $44 billion a year on beauty products.

If you’re looking for a niche you love that generates serious revenue, you may be looking for opportunities in the beauty industry. This is why so many people stumble on multi-level marketing companies, such as the makeup and skincare MLM Oriflame.

Oriflame is a Swedish beauty company that sells a variety of makeup and skincare products. If you’ve heard of Oriflame, you’re probably wondering if selling skincare and makeup products are worth it. Here’s our review of this makeup and skincare MLM.

What Is Oriflame?

Oriflame is a beauty company founded in 1967 by two brothers, Robert and Jonas af Jachnick.

Previously, you were only able to buy their products in Europe. But the beauty company expanded internationally over the last few years, and now you’re able to buy their products worldwide. For example, they made it to North and South America in 2016.

Oriflame is popular because its products are high-quality and are made with natural ingredients (and they never extract ingredients from endangered sources). However, you can only buy Oriflame products from beauty consultants.

What’s the Oriflame MLM Opportunity?

Oriflame is different than many similar MLMs. Instead of purchasing products, consultants only need to purchase catalogs — a very similar structure to the beauty company Avon.

New consultants receive catalogs for free. In addition, you have the option to purchase a $20 startup kit that contains product samples.

Because of this, most consultants easily sell products to family, friends, and more.

All consultants receive a 20% commission on sales. If you onboard more consultants, you also receive a percentage of their commissions.

Can You Make Money With Oriflame?

Fortunately, consultants don’t need to invest a significant amount of money into their Oriflame business. But can you still make money?

Let’s take a look at the statistics. The prices for products vary depending on the country you’re in and the products you sell. Since Oriflame’s headquarters are in Sweden, we’ll use their market as a reference in this example.

On their website, we found a lipstick for 119 SEK (the equivalent of about $14 USD). You’ll earn $2.80 off on that sale. If the average person in Sweden makes 45,100 SEK a month (about $5,308 USD), you’ll have to sell about 375-380 lipsticks a month to earn the average Swedish wage.

While this isn’t an impossible figure, consultants will have to constantly hustle more than the average worker in Sweden. Unfortunately, most people aren’t cut out for this type of work. That’s why the average Oriflame consultant only makes €411.90 Euros ($491 USD) for the entire year.

Oriflame Review: Pros and Cons of This MLM

While Oriflame may seem like a great opportunity, this company has many pros and cons. Here is a breakdown of each.

Pros

First and foremost, there are no signup fees. Many MLMs make their money off of their consultant’s investments, whereas Oriflame truly makes most of its money on product sales. New consultants receive free catalogs and the starter kit is only an option to jumpstart your business.

In addition, you don’t need to buy inventory. After you give away your catalogs, you’ll have to purchase more. Fortunately, they’re not extremely expensive. If your customers buy products, they’re either sent directly to the customer or to you for distribution.

Do you want to try Oriflame products? All sellers receive product discounts and even free product samples.

Oriflame also offers other roles in case you want to work in beauty but don’t want to become a consultant. For example, you can work in customer service where your income isn’t based on commission. Many Oriflame workers also receive product discounts and other benefits.

Cons

While Oriflame is natural, they’re not organic. Oriflame isn’t cruelty-free; they test on animals and their products include ingredients derived from animals. You can lose potential sales because of these factors. Americans also can’t become consultants, though they can still order their products.

Is Oriflame a Scam?

While you can’t make a significant amount of money on Oriflame, many see this opportunity as a great side hustle. It’s easy to be an Oriflame consultant and the gig doesn’t require a large investment. But because Oriflame is an MLM company, are they still considered a scam?

Oriflame isn’t a scam in the average sense. They’re a legitimate company with decades of experience. However, you really have to hustle in order to make a living. Since there’s no base pay, you only make money based on what you sell.

Overall, this isn’t an opportunity for everyone. Even though the investment isn’t significant, you shouldn’t be spending money at your job unless it’s for a company that you own.

How Do MLMs Attract Sellers?

After reading this, you may be wondering why MLMs attract sellers and still stay in business.

First, MLMs aren’t different from normal companies. They have CEO(s), other executives under them, and a board of members. However, they also have multiple levels of staff under them who market and sell the products, which is where the multi-level marketing name comes from.

But what makes MLMs stand out is their investors. Unlike traditional sales gigs, MLMs require the sellers to invest in their products. The investments can be small, like in Oriflame’s case, or substantial.

So, how do they still draw in sellers? Most MLMs use certain terms such as “you can be your own boss,” attracting those who want to be business owners but aren’t sure where to start.

They also target other specific individuals, such as single and/or stay-at-home parents who have no time for an average 9-to-5 job, young people who want to start a career in the MLM’s niche, vulnerable individuals (unemployed, etc.), and anyone gullible enough to believe their message.

Should You Buy Into This Skincare MLM? Try Affiliate Marketing Instead

Sure, the Oriflame makeup and skincare MLM may seem like a profitable and easy opportunity. However, it’s still an MLM where you have to invest in the company and hustle to make a living.

There are easier ways to profit and still be your own boss. Many individuals in the beauty industry are successful with affiliate marketing.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Jeunesse MLM Review: Making Money Selling Wellness Products

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

While the wellness industry was valued at $4.2 trillion in 2017, experts believe that 4 years later, this number is much higher today. In fact, over 5.3% of the global economic output is thanks to the health and wellness industry!

So it’s reasonable to believe that a job in this area could be very lucrative. But striking out as an entrepreneur can be very difficult and even impossible for those who simply don’t have the capital for it.

So what a lot of people consider is becoming distributors for a company like Jeunesse MLM. They already have the wellness products ready to go, which means all you need to do is sell them!

Are you wondering if Jeunesse MLM is right for you? Read on to see what this company is all about.

What Is Jeunesse MLM?

Jeunesse is an MLM (multilevel marketing) company. This means that they make the bulk of their money from people signing up under each member or distributor. Each level grows exponentially, with those at the top reaping the most benefits.

Jeunesse itself was first established in 2009 by Randy Ray and Wendy Lewis in Florida. Over the last decade or so, they’ve earned a reputation as one of the best MLM companies around.

Jeunesse mainly sells natural skincare products, as well as health supplements and cosmetics. They claim that these products are 100% natural.

Is Jeunesse MLM a Scam?

Jeunesse isn’t a scam. This is because while pyramid schemes are illegal, MLMs aren’t. They do operate in a very similar fashion to pyramid schemes, but the key difference is that there are actual products being sold.

Do note that their products aren’t scientifically proven to actually work. So buyers will have to be alert, especially since there are no statistics or further research done on how people’s skin respond to Jeunesse’s products. In fact, none of their products are FDA-approved.

How Do You Join the Jeunesse MLM Company?

Typically, to join an MLM, you have to pay all sorts of fees. And Jeunesse MLM is no exception.

First, you’ll have to pay $49.95 for a Starter Kit. This will give you some products to start off with to sell to customers.

In addition, you’ll need to pay a membership fee of $19.95 every year. However, you can get this fee waived if you can achieve and maintain 360 CV for auto shipments.

When considering the startup and maintenance costs, don’t forget to factor in things such as phone calls, gas, and other expenses.

Once you join, you’ll have to make it through the ranks to increase your earning potential. If you want to jump the line to increase your earnings quicker, then there are a few packages available:

Supreme Product Package ($499.95)
Jumbo Product Package ($799.95)
Ambassador Product Package ($1,099.95)
One-Year Jumbo Product Package ($1.799.95)

Do People Make Money From Jeunesse?

What’s great about being a distributor for an MLM is that you make your own hours. But that also means that without the proper skills and hard work, it can be tough getting out of the red, especially if you pay for one of the packages above.

There are 2 ways to earn money from being a Jeunesse distributor: by selling their products (and earning a commission) or by building a downline.

When you sell Jeunesse products, you can earn anywhere from 12% to 25% in commission. And if you sell a package, you can get a bonus that’s between $25 to $250, depending on the package itself (both price and CV).

Building a downline or “team” is more profitable for most people. However, to remain “active” and eligible for team commissions, you have to have 2 people on your team and 60 PV per month. If you fall below 60 PV, then they reset to 0 and you have to start all over.

What’s interesting to note is that for Jeunesse’s 2019 income disclosure statement (IDS), over 95% of distributors earned $5,000 or less. And less than 1% earned over $50,000.

So if you’re looking to make this your full-time job, you have to keep in mind that very few people succeed in making distribution something that pays the bills and then some. It’s certainly possible to make money, but the odds aren’t in your favor at all.

How Can You Earn Big With Jeunesse?

As we’ve mentioned before, those at the top of the MLM will be the ones who earn the most money. This means that the further down in the chain you are, the less potential you’ll have for earning.

However, that can be remedied by building up your team. After all, the more people you have underneath you, the further up you’ll be in relation to them. This can actually end up generating quite a significant amount of passive income for you.

But to be able to generate a huge downline, you must be adept at marketing.

Yes, it’s true that you can sign up for Jeunesse’s social media marketing system, which will give you access to some marketing tools. But it’s only free for one month and it’s $19 per month after that. Plus, the tools you’ll have are very basic and doesn’t help you with wider marketing either.

Very few people have the right marketing skills and access to a big enough network to keep adding to their downline.

Give Affiliate Marketing a Try Instead

This Jeunesse MLM review has shown you that this company is not a scam. However, it is very difficult for the average distributor to actually turn a profit, especially if they aren’t well-versed in marketing. If this sounds like you, then signing up with MLMs is probably not a good idea.

Instead, consider giving affiliate marketing a try instead. You can still earn a commission by promoting products, but it’s much easier to do and you’ll see better profits from this venture.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Can You Make Money Selling Tupperware?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Almost everyone knows about Tupperware, it is after all a household name. Yet it’s less common knowledge that they’re one of the most successful MLM companies.

You might’ve recently discovered that Tupperware is an MLM brand. A friend might’ve messaged you about it. You might’ve also stumbled upon it yourself while looking into MLM companies.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a strategy where a company relies on members to market and sell products. Members earn through commissions from product sales.

This article will tell you all about Tupperware MLM. We at Legendary Marketer want to give the best information for anyone looking to be a successful marketer online. Read on to know about making money from selling Tupperware.

Tupperware Overview

Tupperware is an MLM company selling kitchen and home products. It’s headquartered in Orlando, Florida with offices in New Mexico and South Carolina. Founded by Earl Tupper in 1948 after developing his airtight plastic container.

Tupperware has been operating for more than 70 years. This isn’t surprising since Tupperware is one of the best MLM companies. Its longevity is something few MLM companies can boast since most don’t last for more than 3 years.

Tupperware products were originally sold in stores and saw poor sales. In the early 50s Tupper and his Vice President for Marketing, Brownie Wise, started to adopt “the home party plan”.

At these house parties, a dealer demonstrated the products supported by the hostess. This started what we now know as Tupperware parties and put sellers front and center.

Tupperware Product Quality

Tupperware used to be all about storage containers. Now, their kitchen products range from containers to utensils. You can group them into these categories:

Food storage
On the Go
Serveware
Cookware and bakeware
Kitchen tools

Tupperware products are durable which is also why the brand is still alive.

They’re also on the more costly side compared to competitors. Prices for storage containers can range from $20 to upwards of $30. This is a bit expensive considering their use.

Competitors like Rubbermaid offer quite similar products for a lower price. With so much competition with cheaper products, Tupperware can be harder to sell. A potential selling point might be their commitment to the environment.

How Does Making Money from Tupperware MLM Work?

Members make money from Tupperware in only 2 ways. These are by selling products and recruiting new members.

Members can rank up and enjoy some “benefits”. To do this, they need to keep on recruiting. Commissions on sales can be up to 35% and active consultants can buy more products at a 35% discount.

In this setup, members earn more from recruiting than selling products. This helps consultant members make passive income.

Tupperware makes use of the direct selling method. Members organize parties or similar gatherings to showcase products. This saves Tupperware money since they won’t need to pay for ads and marketing.

How Much Does Joining Tupperware Cost?

You can join Tupperware by buying their kits to get started. There are 3 options to choose from.

The first and cheapest is the Virtual Kit costing $15. It provides a Pro my.Tupperware subscription and a personal selling website.

The Basic Demo Kit includes products and a pack of 10 catalogs along with everything in the Virtual Kit. This option costs $60.

For a complete package, there’s the Deluxe Demo Kit costing $109. It includes products like the Power Chef System and Microwave Breakfast Maker Set. It also includes everything in the Virtual Demo Kit.

Can You Make Serious Money From Tupperware MLM?

Considering the costs and the work needed, making money will be difficult at best. You also need a wide network you can tap into. Although Tupperware is a popular brand, its products can also be a tough sell due to being pricey.

Pros

Maintaining sales can be a bit easy. You need to maintain $600 in sales over a 6-month period. That’s $100 monthly.

There’s also an extensive catalog of products you can market. Tupperware plastics are also BPA-free since March 2010. They’re recyclable and are a good selling point.

The demo parties can also be online. There’s also the option of a catalog party that you can do in the workplace.

Cons

The Better Business Bureau reports that Tupperware gets plenty of complaints. These include warranty issues, shipping prices, to receiving wrong products.

Shipping charges can also be pretty expensive. Customers get charged 10% of the total sale with an extra 5% if the products ship straight to the customer.

Both consultants and customers pay the full price for taxes and shipping. The shipping expenses can eat a large sum from your commissions.

Is It a Pyramid Scheme?

If you’re wondering “is Tupperware an MLM or a pyramid scheme”, the short answer is no. MLMs have real products to sell while pyramid schemes are only after your money.

MLMs are like regular companies except they use investors (members) as distributors and marketers. The strategy encourages existing members to recruit new distributors. They’re then paid a percentage of their recruits’ sales.

All the distributors also make money from direct sales of products to customers. There’s plenty of work to do, from placing orders, shipping, to organizing demos. Sellers will also need to travel to different places to market the product.

Since members earn money from selling products and recruiting distributors, then it’s not a pyramid scheme. Tupperware is also not a scam.

However, the downside to this strategy is that you’re penniless before the first sale. This isn’t a great starting point. Your success will depend on how much you sell and how many people you can recruit.

Learn to Market for Success

Selling and marketing for Tupperware MLM can be tough. Besides the work, there are also a lot of costs you’ll be shouldering. Yet it isn’t the only option.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

The Pros and Cons of Family Heritage Life

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Just under 75 million Americans are enrolled in a private insurance plan and millions more are in the market for a private insurance carrier.

This is where companies like Family Heritage Life come in. People who don’t qualify for insurance through, for example, their work are able to purchase insurance packages that cover basic medical care or select packages that suit their specific needs.

Why are we talking about Family Heritage Life? This company offers the opportunity to join their sales team and start selling insurance on your own time. The question is, is it an opportunity worth taking?

We’re always looking for ways to boost your knowledge of online business endeavors and marketing. Now, we’re going to look at Family Heritage Life and discuss the pros and cons before letting you in on some secrets to success.

Family Heritage Life Pros

Family Heritage Life is a well-rated insurance company, both by employees and clients. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons that working for Family Heritage Life as a member of their sales team can be a good opportunity.

Flexibility

When you work for Family Heritage Life, you set your own hours. This is one of the biggest reasons that many of us go into things like contracting, MLMs, or building online businesses of our own. Being able to decide on a schedule that suits your lifestyle comes with a certain level of freedom that the traditional 9-5 can’t match.

Opportunity to Make More Money

Family Heritage Life offers pay based 100% on commission. That means that you’re not locked into a capped salary. If you can take on a bigger workload and master the art of selling insurance, you can always find ways to make more money.

Opportunity to Learn the Insurance Business

The insurance business can be extremely lucrative but it can also be difficult to tap into. Working for a company like Family Heritage Life gives you the opportunity to gain valuable, resume-building experience without requiring that you go back to school or take an entry-level position for a few years. If you’re hoping to transition to a more stable or permanent insurance job, Family Heritage Life can be a good starting place.

Opportunity to Make a Difference

Family Heritage Life offers additional healthcare packages that can be crucial for patients with cancer, heart disease, and more. By helping people select an insurance plan that suits their needs best, you can give them the resources they need to seek crucial medical care. Helping people avoid medical debt and seek necessary treatment is a noble cause and something that you can feel good about.

Family Heritage Life Cons

While many members of the Family Heritage Life sales team are satisfied with their work, there are still a few drawbacks to working for this company.

We’ll get into some of the more specific cons in a moment, but first, let’s address the elephant in the room: Family Heritage Life doesn’t provide the training you need to make big money. As we often say at Legendary Marketer, you need marketing skills to thrive in any kind of sales, no matter how good the product is. (Fortunately, that’s where we come in.)

Now, let’s take a look at some of the more specific cons that are worth considering.

Family Heritage Life Is a “Captive” Company

Family Heritage Life is a captive employer. What that means is that although you retain a contractor status when selling their insurance packages, you cannot work for other insurance companies. This can make it more difficult for you to meet the needs of your clients and increases the odds that potential clients will walk away in search of something else.

Commission Rates Are Unclear

You’ll find that everyone at Family Heritage Life is perfectly happy to acknowledge that their sales team is paid 100% commissions. However, even in their own career opportunity description, they fail to state what that commission rate is. That makes it difficult for us to gauge how much you stand to make as an affiliate of Family Heritage Life.

Business Expenses Are Out of Pocket

One of the biggest complaints you’ll see from current or former Family Heritage Life sales team members is that business expenses are not covered. Family Heritage Life instructs their sales team to rely almost entirely on the door-to-door model, meaning that you’ll need to travel far and wide to keep your commission coming. However, they’re not going to foot the bill for things like gas or hotel accommodations, which means that you could actually lose money in some of your attempts to find new clients.

No Benefits

Ironically, Family Heritage Life does not offer their sales team members any benefits–including insurance. That being said, this is something you may want to expect if you’re hoping to start building up your income without relying on an employer. When you’re looking to become your own boss, you’re going to have to forgo things like paid leave and employer-provided health insurance.

Learn How to Boost Your Marketing Skills and Succeed in Growing Your Business

Family Heritage Life is not a bad company to work for, but that insurance is not going to sell itself. In fact, if you want to really grow with this company, you’re going to have to go beyond the training they provide and learn a thing or two about marketing. The more you learn about marketing, especially online marketing, the less you’ll have to go door-to-door to make a buck.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

What Is ACN?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

If you’ve been in the multi-level marketing world for any duration of time, you’ve probably heard a lot of the same concerns repeated.

“Is MLM legit? Is that company a pyramid scheme? How can I tell the difference?”

A leading MLM company that still draws a lot of attention is ACN. Now, if you’ve been around MLM for a while, you probably know the name. If you’re new, though, you may be asking, “What is ACN?”

If you’re reading this article, there’s a strong probability that somebody contacted you about ACN. The offers sounded good, even too good, and you want to know whether it’s a legit business opportunity.

If that’s you, then don’t worry! This article will explain everything you need to know about ACN. If you’re ready, read on and discover the facts about this company!

What Is ACN?

ACN is a leading name in the world of multi-level marketing. Their name stands for American Communications Network. Headquartered in Concord, North Carolina, they have expanded to provide service in 26 countries on 5 continents.

History of the Company

The company has a long-standing history. It was founded in 1993 by Robert Stevanovski, Greg Provenzano, and brothers Tony and Mike Cupiscz. Each of these men remains at the helm of the business, overseeing its ventures.

All the founders had direct selling experience individually and came together with a business strategy that worked well.

What was the business strategy? Frankly, it was a pretty straightforward idea. Whereas many sellers pedal things that people want, ACN decided to pedal things people need in their everyday lives.

Services and Methods

What services does ACN provide? In short, they subcontract a plethora of other companies’ services with the promise that they will sell them at high volumes for competitive costs.

Some of their home services include the following:

Internet and phone bundles through providers like AT&T and Spectrum
Heating Gas and Electricity plans through XOOM energy
Satellite TV services from Dish and Frontier
Identity Theft protection with IDSeal

In addition to home services, the company also includes packages for businesses. Those packages largely mirror those in the home use category, but there are a few differences.

One of the most notable business packages is their Wireless bundle through Flash Wireless, which includes unlimited talk and text and shareable high-speed data.

Pyramid Scheme or MLM Business

The part of ACN’s model that makes so many people nervous is its pay structure. There are two ways to earn income through ACN, as with most MLM marketing structures.

Paths of Income

The first way is by direct selling the company’s services, which will earn you a commission. These services would include those packages named in the above section.

Direct selling is at the heart of any MLM company. The strategy is to build an army of effective sellers through sales representatives and the recruits they make.

Most people aren’t so put off by the prospect of direct selling. What makes them nervous is the second way you earn income through ACN.

The second source of income with ACN is through recruitment. You are responsible as a seller for recruiting other sellers. Once you recruit them, you will receive a portion of their commissions as well.

Moreover, if your recruits manage to recruit others, you will get a share of their commissions as well. This continues down the levels so that you receive shares of several people’s commissions.

This structure is the source of the term “multi-level” in multi-level marketing.

How Is This NOT a Pyramid Scheme?

There are several signs that ACN is not a pyramid scheme. For one thing, because pyramid schemes are illegal, they don’t usually have longevity. Most last for only a couple of years, as opposed to ACN’s nearly three decades.

However, there are more concrete ways of defining a pyramid scheme. The primary difference between a pyramid scheme and an MLM is the source of income.

In a pyramid scheme, very rarely are you selling a product. The vast majority of pyramid schemes pay you for your recruitments, not for your services.

While recruitment is a foundational component of most MLM businesses, they have a service they provide and that you sell. If you’re ever wary of a potential pyramid scheme, it may help to ask yourself this question:

“If I weren’t getting paid to push this product, would I buy it?”

In the case of ACN, you would almost certainly buy at least one of their services. Furthermore, you can check their ratings online. ACN has an A+ ranking through the Better Business Ranking (though not an accreditation).

What’s the Catch?

At this point in the article, you should feel pretty confident about ACN’s legitimacy. However, the offer may still sound a little too perfect. There has to be a catch, right?

The short answer is, yes, there is a catch. To become a direct seller, you have to pay $499 to become a member and start your independent seller work. Not only will you have to put up $499 for your membership, but your recruits will as well.

Unfortunately, direct selling is not a business everybody is cut out for. Natural marketers with a great deal of confidence and charisma can put up $499 and turn a profit. Others may have a more difficult time.

ACN admits as much in their compensation plan overview, which states that “not all IBOs [independent business owners] make a profit.”

Consider Your Options

Hopefully, by the end of this article, you can answer “What is ACN?” The question now is whether it’s right for you. If you are an experienced seller, ACN could be a phenomenal business opportunity for passive income.

However, if you and those you’d recruit are not so sure you can make a profit, it may be best to seek other opportunities.

ACN isn’t the only company that offers you a chance to work from home. If you have aspirations towards a career change, consider taking an online marketing training course.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

MLM: What Is Utility Warehouse?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Multi-level marketing companies, or MLMs, are on the decline. In fact, multi-level marketing makes up less than 1% of the entire retail industry in the UK. This is an even smaller market share than it has in the United States.

That’s not to say you can’t find a decent MLM company to work for. But what’s the best MLM company for you? And should you consider Utility Warehouse for earning extra money?

Compared to the average UK MLM company, Utility Warehouse stands out. This is largely because it’s not a traditional MLM. Utility Warehouse bundles their customers’ energy bills with services like broadband and cellular.

Utility Warehouse attracts customers by promising to simplify billing for them. It does this by combining multiple services into one package. But it stands out because it focuses on giving existing customers commissions for referrals.

It does this instead of relying on traditional advertising.

This referral program is the reason why Utility Warehouse is sometimes confused with a traditional MLM. But is it legitimate, and can you make good money with it?

To learn everything you need to know about Utility Warehouse, keep reading.

Utility Warehouse Review: Company Overview

Utility Warehouse advertises itself as offering all essential services in one convenient bundle. These include electricity, gas, broadband internet, home and mobile phone lines, and even home insurance and boiler care. It also claims to provide these services at a lower cost than its major competitors.

Utility Warehouse currently serves more than 650,000 customers. It bundles essential services and provides a single streamlined bill each month. This simplicity alone is enough to attract a wide customer base, although they boast savings as a major selling point.

Of course, you’re probably more interested in what money can be earned. But can you earn significant money through commissions for Utility Warehouse?

Although Utility Warehouse provides a good service at a decent price to its customers, its referral program is underwhelming. To become a partner and earn commissions, you must first pay a fee, which is higher if you aren’t already a Utility Warehouse member.

When you persuade other people to become customers of Utility Warehouse, you will earn a cash incentive. You also receive other small rewards, including a credit card that lets you earn cash-back rewards from certain retailers.

Although you can earn money with successful referrals alone, to make any meaningful income you will need to recruit other partners underneath you. In this sense it is a multi-level marketing business, although it’s considerably different from companies like Amway or Youngevity.

Pros and Cons of Utility Warehouse

Utility Warehouse isn’t exactly a traditional MLM, and it isn’t exactly a significant money-making opportunity, either. But it has its pros and cons, as seen below.

Pros

First of all, Utility Warehouse provides the service it advertises, and it does it fairly well.

It treats its existing customers well, with its support department receiving largely positive reviews from customers. And while it’s not the cheapest way to get all your utilities as it might imply, it is fairly cost-effective.

Its referral program is legitimate as well, even if it isn’t exactly easy to get rich with it. If you have a handful of friends who sign up for the service after you do, you could save a little on your monthly payment, and even earn some extra cash. If you have a wide network of connections, you might be able to get others started in their own referral programs, which will significantly increase the amount you make.

Another positive aspect is that Utility Warehouse has been around for a long time, since 2002. In fact, it’s one of the oldest energy firms in the United Kingdom.

This is refreshing to see, as many companies using MLM-style practices seem to spring up overnight and disappear.

The more services you sign up for, the more money you can save on your Utility Warehouse bundle. If you’re primarily there for the service itself, this can be a great deal.

Cons

Despite its advertising, Utility Warehouse doesn’t provide the lowest prices available for its services. For someone primarily interested in saving money, they would be better off comparing prices for individual services.

However, Utility Warehouse does come with the unusual benefit of bundling everything into one simple bill, which may be an acceptable trade-off to some.

More relevant to this discussion are the commissions, which are somewhat disappointing. At the lowest rung of their sales model—that is, when you’re just getting started—commissions start at £20 for every successful referral. The recruitment process itself is typically supposed to take about an hour.

Of course, you can earn considerably more if you have other recruits selling referrals under you. But hoping to earn thousands of pounds per month would be unrealistic for most people.

You must also pay £100 to join the partner program, or £50 for existing Utility Warehouse customers.

A Better Way to Earn

Utility Warehouse is a legitimate company with a potentially lucrative offer for those interested in its referral program. However, unless you have a very large existing network of friends or online followers, you’ll have a hard time earning more than what you pay for the service.

Multi-level marketing opportunities appeal to people who want freedom and financial wellbeing, but they often over-promise and under-deliver.

Should You Become an It Works! Distributor?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Trying to decide if you should be an It Works distributor? It’s hard to resist jumping on a product whose title declares its own success. But if you’re still in the research stage of considering joining this multi-level marketing company, this is the review for you.

I’ll walk you through the main high points of It Works and talk about what you can expect from multilevel marketing. Plus, I’ll let you in on another marketing opportunity that is great for folks looking for at-home, online business opportunities.

Becoming an It Works Distributor

It Works is a multi-level marketing company. Multi-level marketing or MLM companies typically have distributors buy in to sell the companies products to their social network of friends and family. That’s true of It Works, which promotes a series of weight loss, fitness, and beauty products.

Distributors sell products like skincare or weight-loss teas to their friends and family. Network marketing lets distributors tap into social connections they already have to find customers. They use their social skills to market products directly to those who are interested in weight loss, fitness, and beauty.

What Does It Take to Get Started?

To become an It Works distributor, interested parties sign up for a Business Builder Kit.

In the kit, they get their first month of a personalized website and the It Works eSuite for free. Along with this comes a digital starter kit that acts as a quick-start guide. Tools are available digitally on their phones for easy access.

Savings come with the kit too, including 10% off It Works business products like accessories. Included are also seven digital product sample mailer credits.

These starter kits cost $99. This does not include start-up inventory beyond the product sample mailer credits.

How Much Do It Works Distributors Make?

It Works’ most recent disclosure statement is from 2019. This shows that the average income from commissions in the first level of distributors is $48 a month.

They stress that these numbers are not a fair representation of profit, as the distributor likely had overhead costs as well. The average profit then would be lower than $48.

The distributor level of the rank consists of 85.94%, meaning the vast majority of It Works distributors are making on average under $50 a month before accounting for overhead.

When compared with the highest rank of distributor—Diamond—which shows an average monthly earning of $24,466, it’s clear that financial disparity is significant.

MLMs work on a system of “uplines” and “downlines,” where one seller recruits another. Each seller receives a part of the commission of sales for all of the sellers below them.

This concentrates wealth towards the top of the uplines. As more and more people join, there are simply fewer people to form a profitable downline for new members. This means that as soon as a company gets popular, the newest members likely have few customers or recruits to target.

Is Signing Up For It Works a Good Idea?

Signing up for a weight loss MLM like It Works makes sense for some people and not for others. It really depends on what you’re trying to get out of it.

As someone who has had success in an MLM before, I know firsthand that they can be good business models for some. But the disparity of income across levels can be a challenge to work around.

This is because they are designed to reward those who join the company early and spend time recruiting new clients. And customers dry up as the territory gets oversaturated with distributors. That’s just the truth.

Even though I had some success in an MLM, I did better once I broke out on my own into a different type of marketing.

So, should you become an It Works distributor? Only if you’re looking for some discounted weight loss products. If you’re looking for an online business opportunity where you get to be your own boss, there are other marketing opportunities out there.

What Other Marketing Opportunities?

If you thought you’d be great at network marketing because you’re a social butterfly who knows how to sell a good product, you may be a prime candidate for affiliate marketing.

In affiliate marketing, you are not responsible for buying and selling inventory. Instead, you work with sellers to help promote their products through the unique content that you create.

Affiliate marketing is all over the place. Ever been watching a YouTube video where the creator is doing a make-up style and then suggests you check out the awesome brushes she’s using by clicking the link in her description box?

That’s affiliate marketing. She created unique content: a make-up video. She promoted a product by showing you how to use it and subtly espousing its virtues. And she directed you right to the seller.

So, how is this a job? Well, content creators who do affiliate marketing earn a commission on each sale they direct to the sellers. Many join programs to connect them with even more sellers who need content.

With little overhead, thanks to the free or low-cost platforms that can be used for affiliate marketing—like a personal blog, Instagram, or TikTok—affiliate marketing is an affordable online business to get started with.

Become an Affiliate Marketer with Legendary Marketer

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Exove: Investment Opportunity or a Waste of Time?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Less than 1% of individual representatives have profited from MLM business opportunities.

Have you ever been a victim of one of these recruitment schemes?

You are not alone if you answered yes and are overwhelmed with the negative memories of endless phone calls, fake products, and no return on the investment opportunity. You may also be interested in exploring an MLM opportunity like Exove to start making money. But we are here to provide an honest account of the business.

Keep reading below for our review of Exove and other opportunities to make money online.

What is Exove Investment

Exove Investment is marketed as an investment company where investors make a profit from mining bitcoin. The investors are individual company representatives, typical in multi-level marketing businesses, and you have the opportunity to invest in Exove as an IR.

But we urge caution when it comes to crypto-based MLM companies, such as this one.

Many have found red flags in Exove in its short history. First, there are no details on the founder or founding team. This impacts the organization’s reputation and reliability as it appears no one wants to be directly connected.

Second, the company appears inconsistent in its origin story. It says they have been around since 2011 though a simple domain search shows a start date at the end of 2020.

Exove appears to be operating under many inconsistencies and red flags. This is especially concerning as individual representatives are vested financially in the company.

Your money deserves to be protected just as you deserve to make money securely.

Exove and Crypto MLM Companies

Multi-level marketing organizations have taken much heat over the last few years because of their similarities and connections to pyramid schemes.

The Federal Trade Commission describes pyramid schemes based on how representatives make money. Pyramid schemes base income on recruitment as opposed to sales of a product. Reps make money on how many people they recruit to the company, which is a significant warning sign of a scam.

MLM companies, however, present legitimate opportunities when the main form of profit for a representative comes from selling products – i.e. when there is an actual sale. A multi-level marketer distributes products through a network of salespeople, building their functional teams to sell products.

You can use that simple understanding to evaluate any crypto trading MLM that comes your way:

Is there a stand-alone product to sell?
Would you buy the product if there was no financial incentive?
Is there a product to sell?
Do representatives only push recruitment?

These questions in mind will help you assess Exove and whether it’s worth your time. If you find the investment opportunity more focused on recruitment over product, you should see the red flags.

If you aim to be your own boss, make money, and have flexibility, marketing is a powerful tool to help you achieve those goals. MLMs may be your introduction into the world of solopreneurs, but there is more for you to explore.

Investment Opportunity or Bust

Exove appears not to be an investment opportunity worth your time and money. However, you should always feel encouraged to do your research with any opportunity that comes your way.

Most likely, you found Exove because you are seeking a wealthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. You want to be a successful entrepreneur and own your time and resources.

Online marketing is a direct path towards that vision.

MLM companies are only one method of making money outside of the standard 9-5 office job. There are so many business models available for you to explore and earn an income.

You may be a fit for a multi-level marketing opportunity as some have found success and gone on to do other big business initiatives. But set yourself up for success, whether an MLM or a different structure, by learning digital marketing.

Consumers are on their phones and laptops throughout all hours of the day. You can meet them where they are and take advantage of the internet’s instantaneous power through online marketing.

Funding Your Future

Today’s culture is digital: people shop, talk, and earn through various online outlets. Your entrepreneurial journey should also be online to connect with millions of customers, avid users, and investors.

Digital users come in contact around 8,000 ads per day. That over-saturation means you need to be knowledgeable and savvy with your online marketing skills to make an impression.

There are so many opportunities for you to make money online, and success comes from how well you market your products or services.

It is now effortless to start a Shopify store, sell freelance services, or market for another’s company. Take advantage of these opportunities by investing in your online marketing education.

The freedom to be your own boss is the reason so many seek out MLMs and conned into things like crypto MLM scams. Master your marketing skills and look into other business models to find opportunities that fit.

Learn the Skills to Become the Boss

Exove advertised themselves as a crypto investment opportunity that promised at least 2% back to its representatives. But the many red flags should make you rethink this as a legitimate business.

Crypto MLM companies and bad reputations should not keep you back from making money online. You can carry out your dreams of being your own boss by developing online marketing skills and looking into countless other opportunities. Focus on your marketing education and start with our free training course to become a successful marketer.

Fitness MLM: Team Beachbody Review

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Have you seen all of those trending posts on Instagram and Facebook promising a rockin’ bod from Beachbody videos and nutrition programs?

More and more people are calling themselves “coaches,” but has that term lost its meaning as Beachbody has expanded? What does it mean to be a Beachbody coach?

This health and fitness MLM (multi-level marketing) company might not be all that it’s cracked up to be. Even if you’re an exercise nut who wants to help improve people’s lives, you might end up losing money or doing more harm than good.

Not sure if the Beachbody fitness MLM is right for you? You’re already on the right path by doing your research first. Keep reading to learn all about whether this company seems legit or if you should pass on this “business opportunity.”

What Is Beachbody?

Beachbody is a fitness MLM. The idea of “selling fitness” might seem unusual, but what they’re really selling are fitness videos and nutritional supplements. The company was founded in 1998 and has amassed roughly 30 million people trying to get in shape with their products.

Their distributors are called “coaches.” These coaches work like any other MLM distributors by trying to sell products through “network marketing.” For most people, this means selling to friends and family.

They also try to recruit new Beachbody coaches. To be clear, you don’t need any kind of certification or experience to be a “coach.” Most coaches are consumers of the product, not experts.

Beachbody’s main product is their popular nutrition shake: Shakeology. They also sell a subscription to Beachbody fitness content, their online workout videos.

Is It Worth It to Customers?

When you’re selling products through an MLM you need to know that they’re valuable enough that your customers will keep coming back for more, especially if you can’t amass a lot of them. You can only sell hope for so long.

We’ll look at the fitness video subscription first. It costs $99 for a year-long subscription. This isn’t a huge cost, but when you compare it to other content of similar or better quality on the web, it starts to lose its value.

Customers who aren’t willing to put in the legwork to find or make their own workouts will benefit from this. More savvy people, though, know that there are so many “gymfluencers” and fitness professionals that post awesome workouts online.

Their shakes are meant to be meal-replacement shakes for weight loss. A 30-day supply costs over $120, so customers will pay that every month.

The shakes have up to 10 grams of sugar (a large percentage of your daily sugar) and less than 20 grams of protein. You can get equivalent or better shakes for a fraction of the price.

This means that as your customers get more involved in fitness, they may find that they don’t need you anymore.

What’s the Income Structure Like?

So how are people making money if not with the products? Like any MLMs, the income structure is in a triangle shape (sound familiar?).

You pay $39.95 to get in and a monthly cost to access their online content. Most people sign up after using the Beachbody products and having their distributor convince them of this great business opportunity.

It’s a tempting offer. As a coach, you get a steep discount on the products.

While you can get customer leads sent to you, you can’t get them until you’ve reached the “Emerald” level. This means that you’ve recruited at least one person and you have at least 50 “personal volume.” Each recruitment that you get will earn you $20.

The more recruits you get, the higher your commission on products. If a lead that was assigned to you doesn’t buy any new products (meaning that they bought one kind of product beforehand, like shakes, and continued to buy the same ones), you don’t get a commission.

Can I Make Money?

Let’s get this out of the way: there are over 400,000 Beachbody coaches with more joining up every day. While you might think that this is a sure sign that they’re doing something right, in reality, most of these people aren’t making a sustainable income (or any income at all).

This also means that you’re in competition with all of these people, including the ones with huge numbers of social media followers and years of experience.

In other words, it’s tough. You won’t make money by shilling the products to your friends, that’s for sure.

When you sell through your social media (directing customers to your Beachbody site), you earn 25% on products and 40% on subscriptions. This isn’t a terrible way to make money, but without a huge reach, it won’t give you sustainable money.

If you want to succeed with Beachbody (or any MLM for that matter), you need to know how to market yourself. Most people who go into these MLMs don’t have any marketing skills and that’s one of several reasons that they fail.

If you’re a good marketer and you already have a decent online presence, it’s not impossible for you to make money with this kind of income structure. If you happen to already have fitness-oriented social media channels, for example, it might work for you.

MLMs are more about selling yourself and selling hope than they are about selling the products themselves.

So, Is This Fitness MLM as Good as It Seems?

As far as MLM companies go, Beachbody doesn’t seem quite as terrible as some of the others. You can earn money, but unless you’re a savvy marketer, you won’t earn anything close to a sustainable income.

The products aren’t any better than other ones that you can get for a much cheaper price from other companies, and the fitness MLM itself requires that you target people who may be insecure. This may feel unethical to you.

If you’re looking for a better way to make money on your own terms, affiliate marketing might be a better option. You don’t have to target your friends and family as potential customers.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Crypto MLM: Is GSPartners Legit?

Most people dream of leaving their day job and earning a higher income. The incredible rise in online businesses has made this a reality for many people. But how can you benefit from this growing trend?

Online crypto MLM companies are the latest opportunity in making sizeable amounts of money from your kitchen table. The question on many peoples’ lips is ‘can this really be a legitimate business model?’

In this review, we’ll examine the GSPartners offering. On the surface, it seems like it could make you a significant income, but is this the reality?

Let’s dive in and find out more about the company.

Who Are GSPartners?

This is a difficult question to answer. Their website does not provide any information about who is in charge of the company, and they don’t have a page with basic contact details.

Some extra research reveals the person in charge is Josep Heit. Reports indicate Mr. Heit has enjoyed significant success, which should provide potential investors with some peace of mind.

However, there are many crypto MLM scams, so it’s important to perform your due diligence. There is no evidence that this crypto trading MLM company is a scam. But the lack of contact details and company history is a concern.

Most crypto-based MLM companies are keen to win your trust. However, the GSPartners MLM website makes little attempt to show why you should trust them.

Many people look to crypto MLM companies to earn fast and easy money. But this is rarely the reality because trading in cryptocurrency is a complicated business,

It’s important to invest in a company that offers you plenty of support. But this is something that is not obvious on the GSPartners website.

There is a Blockchain Academy, but this is not exactly the same as trading in cryptocurrency. There are important differences, and potential investors should know how to differentiate between the two categories.

To its credit, GSPartners have an income disclosure section that explains you may not be as successful as you hope.

They admit their current results do not provide enough data to make strong income predictions which is an honest approach. But this is another potential warning sign for investors.

A lack of data means the company is new. In the world of cryptocurrency, this means they could be successful or fail quickly. If you invest money, you could lose it if the company can no longer trade.

Perils of Crypto MLM Companies

Many MLM companies are successful, and their associates make a lot of money. But there are also many factors to consider before you spend money to become part of their business.

The first thing to check is if an MLM company provides a valuable product or service. If they only make money by encouraging investors to bring on recruits, this is a warning sign that they may be a pyramid scheme.

You also need to decide if you would buy the product or service. If you wouldn’t purchase from the company, the chances are you won’t be able to sell it either.

Many crypto MLM companies have flashy advertising. They also make promises of associates making huge amounts of money with little effort. You need to look past these marketing tricks to see the real company underneath.

A legitimate company will always tell you that it takes time and effort to become successful. Very few people are lucky enough to make money without working hard.

You’re also likely to encounter friends and family who think your new venture might be a scam. MLM companies generally do not have a good reputation, so you may find it difficult to change peoples’ minds.

Part of working for an MLM company involves bringing on new recruits. You then receive a percentage of the crypto services they sell. While this may seem an easy way to make money, it is often far from the truth.

Recruits may believe the company is offering a high-income for little work. When they realize this is incorrect, they lose motivation and leave. If you have invested time and effort in training, this can be frustrating.

However, there is a more effective way to earn a high income online.

Become An Affiliate Marketer

This is one of the best ways to earn a high income working from your computer. Affiliate marketing involves selling high ticket items that people already want to buy for a commission.

You can sell products at any price, but why would you sell a low-ticket item when you can get a better commission for the same amount of effort?

However, you need to understand how online marketing works. Many people attempt to become successful and lose their money because they don’t know how to market effectively.

Placing an online advertisement on websites such as Google, Facebook, or YouTube is easy. People do this every day, and many don’t get any return on their investment.

Those who know how to make their advertisements effective can make enormous amounts of money in a short amount of time. Affiliate marketing also allows people to make a passive income.

Wouldn’t it be amazing to write useful blog posts with affiliate links that people click on for years to come? You can help people with one post that could provide an income for a long time.

You can even return to a popular post and add more links that help people and increase your residual income. However, the most important factor is to work with the right partner.

How Legendary Marketer Can Help

When investing in an online business, the most important factor is to have the support of a successful team. But you don’t need to recruit staff. The team at Legendary Marketer has developed a suite of products to help you succeed.

Crypto MLM may not be for you, but there are other ways to make money online. There are no false promises. You need to put in the effort to become successful.

However, by learning tried and tested marketing techniques, you reduce the risk of losing money as you begin your journey.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

doTerra Review: Can You Make Money Selling Essential Oils?

March 29, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

The right essential oils can be a good supplement to traditional medicine. If you like using essential oils, you may want to consider a doTerra review to see if selling the products could help you make money.

While it can be flexible, you may have a hard time making a decent amount. You also have to deal with the competition and false claims surrounding essential oils.

Keep reading to decide if selling doTerra is for you.

What Is doTerra?

The doTerra MLM is a multi-level marketing company that sells essential oils and other personal care products. It’s been around since 2008, and some of the founders used to work for another MLM called Young Living.

Their products are more expensive than similar products, but doTerra has a strict testing process to make sure the products are of high quality. Still, they cost a lot more than essential oils you can find elsewhere, and there isn’t anything special about doTerra products.

How to Join

To join doTerra, you will need to sign up online and pay $35, which is non-refundable. Each year after, you will need to pay $25 to stay active as a doTerra Wellness Advocate.

You will also need to pay about $120 to take the doTerra Essential Oil Specialist Certification. Only after the program can you sell the products to others. You’ll learn all about the products and how to sell them without sharing wrong information.

Can You Make Money?

You can make money in a few ways when selling doTerra. Of course, you can sell the products yourself, and you can make a 25% commission on each sale. You can sell the products in person or online through your own website or social media pages.

Because doTerra is an MLM, you can also earn money by recruiting people to sell the products. You can make money after each new recruit’s first 60 days, and you can keep making commissions on their sales.

How Much You Can Make

You can control your earnings when you sell doTerra, and some people can make a lot of money. However, over half of the doTerra sellers didn’t earn any commissions in 2019.

One percent of all sellers earned at least $8,793.52 a month, and the top 10 percent earned at least $1,260 per month that year. However, that means most doTerra sellers didn’t make much money at all. It’s not a good way to make money if you want to support yourself.

Pros of doTerra

Before you decide that the MLM isn’t for you, a good doTerra review should cover the pros of selling the products. For some people, it can be an excellent way to make money from home.

Here are a couple of benefits of selling doTerra essential oils.

Flexible Schedule

As an MLM, you can make your own hours and control your work. You can sell doTerra online, in person, or a combination of each. And since many of the products are portable, you can carry samples with you when out in public.

If someone asks you about them, you can tell them what you do. Then, you may be able to get an easy sale. If you can get a lot of sales, you can make decent money without having to create anything, which makes it similar to affiliate marketing.

Training

Another benefit of selling doTerra is that the company does train you. While you have to pay for it, you can go through the company’s training program to learn how to sell their products.

You won’t have to worry about figuring out sales yourself. So you could start making money sooner.

Company History

Another benefit of the doTerra MLM is that the company has been around for a while. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has accredited doTerra since May 2017, which can be reassuring to potential customers and sellers.

You can use that history to sell the products, so you may not have to work as hard to get sales. Not only is doTerra BBB accredited, but it also has an A+ rating, so you can’t get much better than that.

Cons of doTerra

Unfortunately, the company’s history and flexible work schedule aren’t the only aspects to consider. Like other MLM companies, doTerra comes with a few cons.

Here’s what you should think about before you start selling essential oils.

Ridiculous Claims

While you have control over what you say, you can’t control others selling the products. Some people may lie to convince people to try the essential oils.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent a warning letter to doTerra in 2020 after some sellers made claims that the products can treat or cure a disease. Even if you’re truthful, associating yourself with these other claims can make people not want to trust you or buy from you.

Hard to Make Money

Essential oils can provide a lot of benefits, even if only for the good smell. However, it can be hard to make decent money selling essential oils from doTerra.

Not only do you have to pay before you can start selling the products, but the outlandish claims from other sellers may affect your business. Also, no one should have to pay a ton of money before they can make money. You won’t have that problem if you start affiliate marketing.

If you do pay and go through the company’s training course, you may still have a hard time getting sales. According to the income disclosure, most first-year sellers don’t make more than $100 a month.

Emphasis on Recruiting

Fortunately, you don’t have to recruit people to make money with doTerra. However, you will need to recruit others if you want to increase your income.

You’ll find this is the case with most MLM companies, whether you like it or not. Recruiting can be fun, but it also can bring you more competition.

doTerra Review: Worth Your Time?

Any doTerra review can show that the MLM isn’t the best way to make money. Not only do most of their sellers not make a profit, but you have to pay a lot before you can start selling.

If you want to make money easily, affiliate marketing is a much better option. You don’t have to pay to start, and you can sell products from more than one company.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Nefful Review: Is It Just Another Negative Ion Scam or Something More?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Hokey and mystical as it may sound, the aura of our surrounding environment can have a massive impact on our well-being.

Science has long accepted that environmental agents affect human health and the environment. Some of the most impactful of these agents are negative ions. Studies show that increasing the concentration of negative ions around us can freshen our air, reduce allergens, and even improve our oxygen intake.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are positive ions. Positive ions can exacerbate health concerns, pollute the air, and even interfere with our electronics. Our goal, then, should be to neutralize these positive ions or limit them as much as possible by increasing our negative ion levels.

This is where brands like Nefful come into play.

Nefful is a Japanese multi-level marketing (MLM) company that specializes in negative-ion-producing clothing. Since 1973, they have promised to improve their customers’ health with negative ion technology. They have also expanded to include vitamins and cleaning products.

Negative ions are the real deal, but the jury is still out about Nefful. Are there really products that can increase negative ion concentrations? Is Nefful just a scam?

How Do Nefful’s Products Work?

The purported success of Nefful’s clothing line relies on the fabric that clothing is made from. Nefful refers to this product by a variety of names, including Teviron, Neoron, and Nefflon. All three names refer to the same garment.

Nefflon contains refined fibers that provide breathability without significant gaps between fabric seams. The real selling point of Nefflon, though, is that it is ionized. This means that it has been altered at a molecular level to have one less electron than it should have naturally.

That isn’t the only way that Nefflon employs negative ion technology. Because the fabric has been altered to contain those negative ions, it naturally attracts other negative ions, too.

Nefful boasts that this construction benefits all consumers, regardless of age, race, or gender. However, they claim that the following groups will find their products especially beneficial:

Pregnant women—Because negative ions contribute to healthy cell growth, Nefful advertises that their products are perfect for embryos and fetuses. They may also help regulate pregnant women’s hormones.
Elderly people—Some research suggests that negative ions reduce the appearance of aging and prevent the body from experiencing deterioration.
People with mental health concerns—Negative ions are particularly helpful for combatting seasonal depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
People with skin conditions—Research also suggests that negative ions can combat skin conditions like cystic acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

Nefful also recommends Nefflon fabric for first responders. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recognizes Nefflon as a flame retardant product. This makes it ideal for those who have to interact with fire on a regular basis.

It is also nonabsorbent and offers superior moisture-wicking technology.

Best of all, it provides both of these benefits while maintaining a heat insulation level at least 100% warmer than wool and 200% warmer than cotton.

Finally, none of the research into Nefful or Nefflon shows any negative effects that result directly from wearing the fabric.

The Real Issue: Multi-Level Marketing

The worst thing that can be said about Nefful’s products is that they do not provide any kind of direct benefit. Even then, though, they aren’t associated with any negative side effects or health concerns. So, the fabric and technology themselves aren’t problematic.

The real issue with Nefful is its business practices, not its products.

First, Nefful charges an insanely high rate for its products. A negative ion blanket can run as high as $98. A pair of negative ion pants may run in the hundreds.

Second, consumers cannot buy make direct purchases of these crazy expensive products. Instead, they must go through Nefful’s consultants.

Third, these consultants do not make any money off of their sales. Unlike most salespeople, who earn a commission or percentage based on how much of their company’s products they sell, Nefful’s employees earn money from building sales teams. The more people they convince to sell Nefful with them, the greater their income will be.

If this sounds suspicious to you, you’re paying attention. Although this kind of business practice isn’t illegal, it’s highly unsavory. Whether you call it multi-level marketing (MLM) or a pyramid scheme, the fact is that it prevents its employees from earning a significant income from sales alone.

Verdict: Nefful Is Harmless

Negative ions have a proven track record of improving human health. They may also benefit the environment at large.

Whether or not Nefflon contains or attracts those negative ions is a little less clear. If it does, it may be well worth the money. If not, you can at least be assured that it won’t cause you any harm.

At the end of the day, though, it doesn’t matter how effective Nefful’s products are. For many consumers, they may be too expensive to justify the benefits.

Learn Effective Business and Marketing Skills With Legendary Marketer

No product is perfect. Nefful isn’t unique in its detriments and flaws. The important thing is to ensure that those detriments and flaws don’t reflect a poor organizational reputation.

Crafting a good reputation for yourself as a business is the true key to success, much more than having an effective product. Legendary Marketer understands this need. We seek to improve other businesses’ reputations through marketing strategies and leadership training.

Jeunesse Review: What You Need to Know

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

In 2019, anti-aging company Jeunesse reported that for the fifth year in a row, they’d brought in revenues amounting to over $1 billion. Naturally, when you see numbers like this, you might think, “I want a piece of that pie!”

The question is, how does becoming an affiliate of Jeunesse work? How much can you really make and what are the risks of joining the Jeunesse team?

As per usual, our goal is to give you the tips and guidance you need to make money online. In this Jeunesse Review, we’ll look at what Jeunesse is, why it might be appealing to join, why it isn’t as simple as it may seem, and how you can make the most of your online marketing skills.

Read on to have all of your questions about Jeunesse answered.

What Is Jeunesse?

Jeunesse is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company founded in 2009 that focuses on anti-aging products. In fact, the word “Jeunesse” comes from the French language and translates to “the time when we are young.” Pretty catchy, right?

You’ll often see Jeunesse affiliates referring to products as the “youth enhancement system.” The idea is that by using Jeunesse products such as Luminesce (a face cream), Instantly Ageless (an eye cream), and NV (a facial mist spray), customers can retain the youthfulness they naturally possess. Of course, that youthfulness comes at a steep price that doesn’t always match up with comparable products from competitors.

That said, Jeunesse products tend to get solid ratings from customers, which is always a good sign. The real question is, is it enough to propel you to wealth?

How Does Becoming a Jeunesse Affiliate Work?

Joining Jeunesse is not free. In order to activate your affiliate status, you will start by paying between $29.95 and $49.95. Jeunesse also encourages new affiliates to buy a larger product pack, which can cost anywhere from $199.95 and $2,299.95.

In addition, many Jeunesse affiliates point to the hidden monthly fees you can almost always expect to pay. Jeunesse requires affiliates to sell a minimum of 60 PV points–which comes out to about $90–every month in order to remain active. As a result, many affiliates end up forking over that $90 themselves, just to protect their active status.

So once you spend that money, how can you start making it back?

Like any MLM, Jeunesse offers a few different money-making opportunities, primarily relating to a commission on retail sales and the recruitment of a downstream. Commission rates can be as high as 35% and recruiting a downstream can lead to leadership matching bonuses of between 5 and 20%. Jeunesse also promises lifestyle rewards like free trips for affiliates who reach high levels of quotas or ranks within the company.

How Much Are Jeunesse Affiliates Really Making?

If you’ve read any of other reviews of well-known MLMs, you’re familiar with the income disclosure statement MLMs often release. This is where we can get a better idea of how much you may realistically stand to make.

According to Jeunesse, 65.9% of affiliates are making an estimated $245 per year. Another 14.22% make an estimated $4,350 a year and 2.2% are making more than $82,000 a year. If we’re keeping track of the math here, that leaves about 20% unaccounted for–and according to Jeunesse, this 20% is making less than $245 per year.

The interesting thing about Jeunesse’s income disclosure statement is that they explicitly state that these numbers are a reflection of trackable earnings. What that implies is that it’s not adjusted to reflect how much affiliates are actually spending to remain an active affiliate. If you’re spending $90 a month to remain active and making $245 a year, you’re actually losing $835 a year.

What Obstacles Do Jeunesse Affiliates Face?

Why is it so hard to make a decent amount of money as a Jeunesse affiliate? Most MLMs, including this one, come with certain obstacles that affiliates have to face.

For starters, Jeunesse does not provide a ton of training. They tend to advice new affiliates to start by talking to family and friends about the opportunity to buy–or sell–Jeunesse anti-aging products. If you’ve ever gone this route before, you probably know that it won’t get you very far.

If you live in an area where Jeunesse has already made its rounds, you’ll find that you’re also going to face market saturation. Market saturation occurs when potential customers or affiliates have already heard about the company you work for. They may have purchased the products, joined as an affiliate, or turned down both opportunities already–and they may not want to do so again.

Even if you’re not dealing with market saturation from the start, you’re going to want to make sure that you can reach the widest audience possible. This will increase your chance of tapping into a new market and ensuring that you have a regular stream of interested customers. It can also widen your reach while building a downstream.

The question is, how do you find this wide audience? How do you build up a relationship of trust and interest in your business? The answer is marketing skills, and we’re here to help you improve yours today.

Go Beyond Our Jeunesse Review and Take Advantage of Our Marketing Tools

Taking the time to read this Jeunesse review shows that you’re serious about making smart business choices. Growing your income with Jeunesse may not be as easy as it first seems. However, by investing time in expanding your marketing skills, you can improve your ability to make money with any online business endeavor.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills.

Seth Godin’s Online Courses Review: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Did you know that 33% of U.S. workers now work from home? This is especially impressive when you consider how many jobs require employees to be present, such as plumbing or foodservice.

Working from home is fantastic, but maybe you want more than that. Perhaps you’re interested in leaving traditional employment altogether and working for yourself as a freelancer.

That’s where a course like Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course can be helpful.

Lots of business gurus sell success and marketing courses, but Seth Godin is someone who’s actually walked the talk. He’s one of the earliest and most prolific marketing bloggers in the world, and he’s shared stages with some of the biggest names in the business.

But are Seth Godin’s online courses right for you?

To help you figure that out, keep reading this review of Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course.

Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course Overview

This online marketing course by Seth Godin gives freelancers an overview of what it takes to succeed in a freelance business. With almost five hours of video and 14 additional resources, it’s fairly comprehensive without being overwhelming.

To be a freelancer, you need to have an in-demand skill that businesses or professionals need. You also need to be willing to promote yourself and chase down leads.

The course begins with an introduction to what it means to be a freelancer. The principles discussed will apply to you and your business, no matter what industry you’re a freelancer for.

Godin teaches learners how to choose which clients to pursue, and how to make sure they’re in the right place at the right time. Once a freelancer has been producing excellent work for a while, clients will start coming to them. This is the goal of most serious freelancers because it gives them ultimate flexibility in how much they work and what they charge.

The key to being a successful freelancer is becoming a specialist in your field. Godin explains this, going into detail on how to build your brand and stand out amid the competition.

Seth Godin also covers many basic yet confusing topics for beginner freelancers. These include things like pricing, retaining clients, and how to market yourself without being annoying.

The course also features an in-depth FAQ section to prepare new students for the course. Not only will these help you make the most of the course, but they will also answer many lingering questions new freelancers have about the trade.

Although some effort will be required as always, Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course should teach you most of what you need to know to stand out and make money with your skills.

Freelancer Course Pros and Cons

As with all things, there are both benefits and disadvantages to Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course, not to mention becoming a freelancer in the first place. Read on to learn what those are.

Pros

Despite the complexity often involved in being a freelancer, the premise of this course is fairly straightforward. By the end, you should have a clearer idea of what you need to do to succeed as a freelancer.

Fortunately, the course reviews from past students are almost entirely positive. The course has a rating of 4.5 stars, and dozens of well-written testimonials from previous learners.

The course content is around 4 hours and 49 minutes long. While more content would be better, this is an acceptable length, as it should give you a detailed overview without causing overwhelm.

Best of all, you don’t need any prior knowledge or requirements to take the course. As long as you have the skill to sell and a willingness to put in the work, Seth Godin’s Freelancer Course is fairly beginner-friendly.

Cons

When it comes to online courses, you can’t really go wrong with anything by Seth Godin. If there’s one standout complaint about this course, it’s only that the material isn’t even longer and more in-depth.

One thing that may hold some people back from registering is the $200 price tag. Although it’s far from the most expensive online course out there, $200 is still a little more than most people are comfortable spending. Compare this to a platform like Skillshare, which gives you access to thousands of courses for a low monthly fee.

However, for someone serious about freelancing and getting their business off the ground, $200 isn’t a bad price.

It’s important to realize that freelancing isn’t right for everyone, however. To be a successful freelancer, you need to have at least one in-demand skill that clients will be willing to pay you for.

Many people think they have valuable skills, such as writing. But in reality, they’re far less advanced than they think they are. It’s important to know exactly what you’re offering before you become a freelancer, whether it’s professional-level graphic design or blog writing.

Another Alternative to Freelancing

While many people pursue it as a way to escape their boss, in reality, you’re just trading one boss for several. There’s a reason Seth Godin is the one teaching this class—freelancing is a relatively advanced business model.

Freelancing isn’t the only way to work for yourself from home, however. You could instead try affiliate marketing, where you sell high-ticket information products for other businesses at a profit. It’s beginner-friendly and infinitely scalable.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

You can partner with established brands that already have name recognition. You don’t have to carry stock, maintain a storefront, or deal with the hassle of sending out products. You can access marketing material the brand has already developed.

Online marketing programs, including affiliate marketing programs, do have their disadvantages that need to be considered. Your audience needs to be interested in the products or services you select. And your sales need to be tracked accurately so you receive the proper commission.

What is the CJ Affiliate Marketing Program?

CJ Affiliate began as Commission Junction in 1998 in Santa Barbara, California. Owned by Publicis Group, they are one of the oldest and largest affiliate marketing programs available.

How to Become a CJ Affiliate

There is a two-step approval process to become a CJ Affiliate. First, evaluate your website traffic, optimization, and the quality of your content. After you’re accepted into the CJ Affiliate marketing program, then you also need to apply to the individual vendors you want to promote

If you have very little traffic, CJ Affiliate may not be the right program for you. Your account may be deactivated if you don’t get a sale during the first 6 months of the program.

However, if you are accepted into the program, you have access to one of the largest affiliate programs with a diverse group of vendors. You can find every type of product you want from including automotive and electronics, household goods, clothing, and personal entertainment.

How to Earn Money Using CJ Affiliate

You need patience and stamina if you want to make money using the CJ Affiliate marketing program. It can take three to six months to start earning money. How can you increase your chances of making a profit?

First, you need to have targeted traffic coming to your site. If you only have a few hits a day on your blog, it will be difficult to make a sale. Increase your audience and reach by upping your SEO marketing and using effective keywords in your content.

Next, select products you personally use and brands you trust. Then create content around those items. Your readers will appreciate the sincerity and follow through with sales.

Target your product searches to find products specifically for your audience. Search for programs by keyword or advertiser’s name. Then, you can search by advertiser type and status, country, language, and currency.

Once you’ve found the products to put on your site, create content around them. Highlight them in articles and reviews on your blog. Then cross-promote on your social media channels.

Are you looking for new ways to make extra money? Wondering how to start quickly to earn a passive income? If you have a blog or social media presence, the answer may be easier than you think!

Affiliate marketing programs are an easy way to generate income online. When visitors on your website click your affiliate links and make a purchase, you earn a commission! Amazon Associates have some of the best-converting links because it is such a known and trusted website.

Wondering how you can be a success with Amazon affiliate marketing? Keep reading to learn more about the Amazon Associates program, how to join, and what to expect!

What Is the Amazon Associates Program?

Amazon is the largest online retailer. With almost a 40% market share of worldwide sales, they ship over $5 billion worth of product each year. It is the third most visited website on the internet, behind only Google and Facebook.

And you can share in that success as an Amazon Associates through their affiliate program. All you need is a website or social media presence.

There’s very little work required by you to set it up. Unlike online courses that require you to create a lot of material before you start, With the Amazon associates program, all you need to do is put links to products on your site and generate traffic to your blog.

With the Amazon associates program, you add links to Amazon products to your site. When a customer clicks on your link and then makes a purchase – any purchase within 24 hours – you receive a small percent of the sale in return. The amount of your commission varies depending on what they purchased.

In some cases, you may even be eligible for a commission after the 24-hour limit. Suppose a customer uses your affiliate link and adds the item to their shopping cart, as long as they complete the purchase before the shopping cart expires (usually within 90-days). In that case, you could still receive the referral fee.

Benefits of the Amazon Affiliate Marketing Program

This is a win-win situation for both you and Amazon. Amazon gets increased sales and expanded reach through its Affiliates website and social media following. And they only have to pay for that marketing with it actually generates a sale.

You get to participate in one of the largest e-commerce sites on the web today. You don’t have to own products or ship merchandise.

Amazon’s sales funnel works to your advantage. They recommend related items to customers on their site, which increases the average purchase. You get credit for everything the customer purchases, not just the item from your link. So, your commission rises with everything they purchase.

How to Promote Your Amazon Affiliate Links

Blogging is the best way to promote your affiliate marketing. But you can also use social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube to increase your sales.

Websites and blogs let you write in-depth about the products and provide multiple links. You can write reviews or do comparison articles highlighting multiple products. You can describe the products in detail and offer your thoughts about the items, enticing readers to buy.

Facebook is one of the largest social media channels with over 2 billion active users. You can share product links to family and friends on your feed, who are likely to trust your recommendations because they know you already. Then, you can promote your links with paid ads to increase your reach.

There are a lot of fun ways to share your product links on Instagram. You can create stories, in addition to posts, to engage with your followers. Use hashtags to reach more followers. The more people who can find you, the more opportunities you have to make a sale!

On YouTube, one of the most successful techniques to generate interest is through unboxing videos and reviews. Viewers love to see products in action and are more likely to buy when they see what a product can do. Add your links to the descriptions and encourage people to use them to make their purchases.

With websites and social media, consistency is critical. Set a regular schedule to write posts or upload interviews. You’ll stay fresh in your regular users’ feeds and increase your chances of gaining new viewers and subscribers. More viewers often mean more sales.

The Pros and Cons for Amazon Associates

One of the best things about the Amazon affiliate program is how simple it is. You don’t have to take any marketing courses to start. Just register and add links to your website or social media.

Amazon is a retail giant that is well-known and trusted around the world. Customers are already familiar with them and, most likely, have already purchased from them.

They have a large volume of products available. You will be able to find anything you want to promote. And with the Amazon sales funnel, customers will often find more items to purchase while on the site!

The commission rates vary depending on the product category. While some may have a rate as high as 10%, many items can be as low as 1%. So, it can take some time to earn a reasonable salary.

Amazon affiliate marketing is easier if you already have an established website and social media following. You can easily add include links to posts and videos that you’ve already made. And you’re promoting to readers and viewers that already exist.

If you’re creating a new one, it can take some time to develop a regular audience and increase your reach. You’ll have to put a little more effort into SEO and may even want to invest in ads to expand your reach.

Don’t be intimidated by not already having an established following, however! You can find success by sharing your struggles with your audience. Let people watch and be inspired by how you can start a new site and grow your business.

Generate Income Through Amazon’s Online Program

The Amazon Associates program started in 1996 and has been going strong every year since. Their affiliate program lets you generate an income with the websites and social media you already have.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Can You Make Money Direct Selling Seacret Products?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

You may recall those mall kiosks back in the early 2000s that were manned by eager salespeople asking you to let them apply Dead Sea products to your hands and see the magic for yourself.

They were friendly but pushy, and many mall-goers found them a tad annoying. However, the business model worked well enough for the original Seacret Direct to go beyond mall kiosks and grow into an MLM.

Now, you can buy Seacret products from direct salespeople in person and online. In 2018, the company was named #72 on the Direct Sales News list of Global direct sales companies. If you know how many MLMs are out there nowadays, you know that ranking seventy-second isn’t bad.

That being said, the total revenue of an MLM doesn’t usually reflect the average income of its affiliates. As always, Legendary Marketer wants to make sure that you know the best online business tips. Now, let’s take a closer look at how much money you can really make selling Seacret products.

What is Seacret Direct?

Seacret Direct is a skincare company that uses the direct sales or multi-level marketing (MLM) business model to sell its products. In 2005, the company started, as we already mentioned, by selling its products out of mall kiosks. Within five years, Seacret Direct had hundreds of kiosks around the world and decided to kick things up a notch by giving affiliates the opportunity to make sales on their own time.

What does Seacret Direct sell? The key to all Seacret products is that they contain the salts and minerals found in, very specifically, the Dead Sea. According to the company, the Dead Sea holds around 12 essential minerals that can’t be found anywhere else.

These products come in the form of scrubs, bath salts, face masks, and more. Those who sign on to become Seacret Direct affiliates are referred to as Seacret Agents–which is pretty clever, we have to admit!

What Are the Perks of Becoming a Seacret Agent?

For starters, Seacret Direct does sell appealing products. (It is, however, worth noting that in the past 16 years, other companies have come up with lines of comparable products that tend to sell for less.)

Seacret Direct also offers five clear ways to make money:

Commission on all sales, which ranges from 30-150% (although you should anticipate a rate of 30% more often than not)
Commission on the Preferred Customer Program (which grants affiliates 25% on all of their customers’ auto-ship orders, which can lead to a relatively passive income)
Team commission (10-15% from every sale made by a member of your downstream)
Leadership Check Match Bonuses (which you can only access if you become a Bronze Director, which is far from easy)
Performance Bonuses (enter the cars and other incentives that very few people will ever receive)

Clearly, there are a lot of ways that you can make money selling Seacret products. The question is, how easy is it to achieve these goals? How much money is the average Seacret agent making?

How Much Money Do Seacret Agents Make on Average?

If you’ve read our other MLM reviews, you probably know by now that some MLMs provide a fairly transparent income disclosure statement. We consider these statements transparent if they show a breakdown of the average, high, and low incomes of affiliates at every level of MLM sales. We also look for a percentage–how many people are selling at the lowest income level?

Seacret Direct isn’t quite as transparent. Their income disclosure statement simply states that Seacret Agents make an average income of $1,201 annually. Why is this information not as helpful as it may seem?

We have no idea how likely it is to make more than $1,201 per year–or less. If Seacret Direct is anything like other MLMs, this average is likely taking into account a handful of six-figure incomes, a bigger handful of four-figure incomes, and a massive number of three-figure incomes. That’s right, most people tend to bring in a few hundred dollars a year from their MLM affiliations.

How Can You Make the Most Out of Selling Seacret Products?

In order to become a Seacret Agent, you start by paying a $49 registration fee (which you can expect to pay annually). From there, you will need to close a certain number of sales or maintain at least four active customers in order to keep your sales status active. If you have progressed up the latter, these numbers grow larger.

How do you make sure that you’re keeping an active status and making more than just a few hundred dollars per year?

The trick is marketing. Remember those mall kiosks? They worked because the sales team was able to engage with tons of shoppers throughout the day and make their pitch: “Give it a shot, you’ll love it, and now you can buy some to take home.”

You need to be able to make your own pitch and, with the help of the internet, reach an even wider audience than you would in the hallway of a shopping mall. No matter how intriguing these products are, they aren’t going to sell themselves.

There’s a lot to learn about marketing and building a high-ticket online business, and we don’t have time to spell it all out here. Fortunately, we have plenty of tools that can help you achieve those exact goals.

Become a Master of Marketing with Legendary Marketer Tools

Seacret products have been around quite some time and there are plenty of customers who are happy to give Dead Sea skincare a shot. The question is, how can you reach them and secure not just a few sales, but hundreds?

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Is Naturally Plus a Verified MLM Company or a Scam?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

If you decide to join Naturally Plus, I can almost guarantee that you’ll be asked if it’s a pyramid scheme. And while it technically is not, the marketing tactics of Naturally Plus push the boundaries between a legal MLM and an illegal pyramid scheme.

This Naturally Plus review will tell you everything you need to know if you’re considering joining Naturally Plus. Spoiler alert: most people should pass on this particular MLM. Read to the end for an alternative way to make money outside of the 9-5 world, without joining Naturally Plus.

Naturally Plus MLM

Naturally Plus is an MLM. But before we delve into Naturally Plus, let’s address what that even means.

MLM, also sometimes referred to as network marketing, stands for multi-level marketing. It’s a method that direct sales companies often use to market their products or services.

People can join MLMs like Naturally Plus as distributors. They make a commission for selling products, and also are incentivized to recruit others to distribute products beneath them. The people underneath them are often referred to as an individual’s downline, though Naturally Plus refers to them as partners.

The commission structure differs between MLMs, but the best way to make significant amounts of money from these companies, especially passive income, is to have a large downline that is making money for you.

MLM Scams?

MLMs have a bad reputation for being scams. They are often referred to as pyramid schemes, which are illegal. However, MLMs differ from pyramid schemes because the recruiters sell products.

There is a fine line between legal MLMs and illegal pyramid schemes, and many MLMs are being investigated by the FTC for their legitimacy. That being said, I have found success in the MLM world, so I am not inherently against MLMs.

I can tell you, however, that I’ve made significantly more money when I switched to other business and marketing methods. And I’d advise most people to steer clear of Naturally Plus, for reasons I’ll get into below.

Naturally Plus Products

You’re likely more interested in the business opportunity than the actual products, but if you do opt to join Naturally Plus you’ll need to have some idea of what you’ll be selling. Naturally Plus partners sell health and wellness products. They have four products: Izimo, Purificar BB, Super Lutein, and Super Lutein Mitro+.

Izimo is hydrogenized drinking water. Selling water with extra hydrogen may be a bit difficult; experts say there may be benefits to drinking hydrogenized water, but they aren’t sure if they exceed the benefits of drinking regular water. Purificar BB may be a bit easier to sell, as it is a liquid supplement full of nutrients that women are commonly deficient in.

Super Lutein and Super Lutein Mitro+ are a bit more confusing in their use. Super Lutein Mitro+ claims to be “a product that lets you see the world with clarity and embrace every day in a positive light.” After digging into the product information, it’s still not super clear what these two products are used for.

At a glance, these natural products are unfamiliar, which may make them a hard sell. Without the right marketing tactics, they aren’t going to sell themselves.

Income Opportunity or MLM Scam?

If you still think that you’ll find success with Naturally Plus, let’s delve into the commission structure. Before committing to an MLM, you need to have an idea of what kind of money you’ll have the opportunity to make (or, in many cases, lose).

The Cost of Naturally Plus

Many MLMs cost money to join. Naturally Plus is no different; to join, you have to buy a starter pack and pay a registration fee.

The most basic starter pack is $180, and you get just one product with it. The most expensive option is $2330 to join, which will get you a 12 month supply with auto-delivery.

To their credit, you don’t have to have inventory to sell to others; they take care of shipping products for you. However, the cost of these products is steep, and you still need to purchase them for yourself. And you’ll likely need to purchase more than the basic starter pack so you can successfully market products based on your experience with them.

Commission Structure

Reading through the Naturally Plus Compensation Plan is a bit confusing, to say the least. With 7 different bonuses, they claim you can be on the path to your dream in 8 “simple” steps. After reading through the document multiple times, I can tell you that the commission structure is anything but simple.

There doesn’t appear to be a clear commission for making sales to people who are not interested in joining the MLM as a partner. For those who do join the MLM, you receive a sponsorship bonus based on “points.”

These points amount to $7.50 as the minimum bonus and $90 as the maximum. This means that if you get someone to join under you for $2330, you only get a $90 commission. This doesn’t look good, especially since this doesn’t even cover the cost of one month of product for you.

Of course, you make a recurring commission for those you recruit. When you get two people to join, who each, in turn, recruit two others, you receive your first bonus.

However, to make just $200 a month, you have to directly recruit ten people. This means that before you can even break even on the cost of the product, you have to get 10 other people to join, which is not an easy feat.

Naturally Plus refers to a “full cycle” bonus as having 25 people total in your downline. You don’t have to directly recruit all 25; the people you recruit in your downline can recruit others for you. Once you reach a full cycle, you make another $500 a month.

Once 10 people on your downline reach a full cycle, you make $2000 a month. There are more bonuses with different requirements (which you can attempt to decipher for yourself here), but the gist is this: in order for you to be successful, the people below you have to be successful.

And you’ll be hard-pressed to get a large downline, let alone one that is successful. No amount of Googling can help you find an income disclosure statement for Naturally Plus, which itself isn’t a good sign. But considering 99% of people who join MLMs lose money, you can assume that the potential to find success as a Naturally Plus partner is slim to none.

This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider Naturally Plus. If you have great marketing skills or are willing to learn about marketing, you may find some success. But from experience, I’d say that you may be better off with a different business opportunity.

A Better Alternative to Naturally Plus

Our concise Naturally Plus review is this: unless you are confident in your marketing skills, you should probably pass on this opportunity. The commission structure makes it almost impossible to make money, and the products seem like they’d be difficult to sell.

Instead of harassing your friends and family into joining your downline, why not make money selling products people are already buying?

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

How To Stay Motivated During Moments of Doubt In Your Online Business

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Dave: What is going on my friends, this is Dave Sharpe Welcome to wake up Legendary. Happy Monday. Happy Monday. All right. I’m excited about Monday, some people dread Mondays not me, you know, I mean, I love to get back on the grind, baby. You know, weekends are full of, for me right now, diapers, and, you know, kids, and I love it. I love it. But I’m excited to get back with my people here in Legendary. So today, this morning we’re going to be talking about overcoming doubt. This is something that we all deal with. Even myself, oh my gosh, if you deal with doubt, yes. Come on, don’t be ridiculous. Yes, I’m a human being just like the rest of us. So we are going to be bringing in our guest, another Canadian these Canadians, I think they’re taking over Legendary Marketer. Jasmine, Welcome to the show, my friend.

Jasmine: Awesome. Good morning everybody, thanks for having me, Dave, definitely happy to be here. Watch these lives a bunch so didn’t really expect to you know be here but it just shows how the Legendary community is. You don’t have to be someone that’s you know, on top of the leaderboard for, you know, Legendary marketer and actually reached out to the community, and that just shows how much Legendary and Dave actually cared about their community, they bring everybody from all walks of life onto the show. So it’s just great to see the diversity of the people that they bring in from, you know, completely new people to people who are, you know, extremely successful. So it’s really great to see. I’m happy to be here.

Dave: Dude, I’m happy to have you and well said.

One of the things that we try to focus on being different is, is, you know, not making this a scripted guru show, you know what I mean, like, you know there’s enough of these podcasts where you can listen to people who, you know, who knows how long they plan the episode before they actually recorded it, everything was carefully scripted everything was the questions were set up, you know, nobody wants to look bad, nobody wants to you know. We hear about the story where they’re at 20, 30 years later, not where they were when they, when they got started, and that’s what matters to most of us is like how did you actually start to become successful? So, you know, these, as you saw, we, we had you on 30 seconds we’re going live every, we’ll talk about anything behind the scenes, everything that we talk about is out in the open out in the public and for everybody else’s benefit not just ours right not just mine, not just yours but for everybody’s to learn from. So Jasmine take us back, My brother take us. Give us the nutshell version so we can understand sort of where you came from and what even led you online to be exposed to be excited. And to get started with digital marketing?

Jasmine: For sure. Awesome. Yeah, so, for me personally, a little bit about my backstory, I was actually like oh from my you know career as I would say back in June, I worked for a company called Enterprise Rent A Car which I’m pretty sure if you’re in North America even Europe you guys are familiar with.

Dave: We’ll pick you up

Jasmine: Right, exactly.

Yeah, so I was with enterprise for about five years and then obviously COVID came around back in March, I was let go in June, and I kind of took that opportunity. You know, honestly I didn’t really know what to do. Right. I knew that I always wanted to make an online income as they would say, so I took about three months from June, just to like relax. I honestly I didn’t really think about much of anything.

And then, you know I was scrolling through TikTok, right back in like October, I mean I was always scrolling through TikTok, June, July, August, September, October came along I was scrolling through and I kept seeing people promoting you know Legendary marketer, Like this digital marketing course and I’m pretty sure I went to the checkout page of a couple of people, and honestly I didn’t actually check out.

I kind of just let it go through and I’m pretty sure I saw back in August. And then in October, I decided to you know, take a deeper look into it. After seeing it on TikTok, you know, I, you know I have made some money online in the past. So I have so on Amazon. I imported my own products from overseas and resold them, but obviously I had no idea what affiliate marketing or even digital marketing was at all before October.

So I kept seeing it on TikTok, I decided to Google Legendary marketer, I ended up signing up.

And it just, it just, it’s just kind of amazing because, like I went from not really knowing anything about digital marketing or affiliate marketing to seeing like a random TikTok about it, and taking, you know, a $7 course and actually being able to start my journey in digital marketing, which is kind of crazy, because the amount of money I’ve spent on, like, importing products, like, I’m talking about like 15 to $20,000 importing like these arrangements here in this room, and reselling them like amount of capital projects you have to spend to start businesses. And then you come across something like digital marketing and it’s like, you can get this started for, you know, a couple 100 bucks a month 100 bucks a month, you know, taking into expenses all your expenses, as long as you’re willing to learn, so I mean, that’s kind of how I got started I know I didn’t really want to go back to a nine to five, which is why I didn’t start looking for another position right away. I, I trusted the process of trying to make something work, and I’m still a complete beginner like by no means have I been able to, you know, make a full time income out of this yet. Yeah I know truly deep down in my heart that, you know, as long as you put the work in regardless if you’re a beginner or if you have 10 years of experience. This is something that you can make work and that was quite clear in the beginning, so I kind of deep dove into it and yeah.

Dave: Nice. Well, I mean you’re you’re new, you’re six months, not even six months into it, you know what I mean. So, yeah, you know, so it’s like, just the fact that you are making progress, you’re off to the races you have the right mindset. You’re in the right, you know, maybe I’m biased, but I believe you’re in the right community around the right people, you’re getting the right information we’re not, you know, we are not pumping you or anybody else, full of smoke, that just do, just get three who get three who get three and you’re going to be, you know this is not an MLM hype show nothing against MLM I just, you know, there’s too many.

And I think this happens with Amazon and I think it happens with E commerce drop shipping, I think, I think there’s a lot of people who are framing their whatever they’re selling or are doing as something that you can make millions overnight with and the truth is, the reality is, is that some do move quicker than others maybe somebody has a unique. A unique talent for creating engaging ads or content or something, and they maybe take off a little bit quicker.

Maybe the numbers work in their favor a little bit differently but the truth is is that, you know, any, any solid business that you’re going to start online is going to take a year to really pick up momentum. And that means that you’re going to have to do it, you know you’re gonna have to do it every day too, or you’re going to have to set up systems to be able to drive a consistent flow of traffic. yYou know somebody I was talking to somebody over over email, and they, they, they asked me- a coaching client- they asked me you know how much is it going to take to be able to make this much money he had a he had a, I had a number, and of course my first comment was, I have no idea for you I can’t guarantee any income. But, you know, Overall, you need to look at how many, how many, you know, what are the conversion percentages of certain of certain, you know, products at each kind of point and you know you really should do this with any product that you’re promoting any, whether you’re doing drop shipping whether you’re doing affiliate marketing, whether you have a brick and mortar business, you should know how many people do I need to get in my front door every day? Because out of every 100 people that walk in five buy, And each one of those five is traditionally worth $100 to me. So if I want to make $500 a day I know that I need to get, you know, 200 people into the front door and that was my recommendation to this guy, you know, he said, you know, how much to make $10,000 a month and it was like, Well, if you take the law of averages, you know, ideally in a perfect world you need to drive about 200 quality clicks to a sales page that’s converting at about 4%, with a back end offer that’s converting at about 4% Right? Because if you do that math backwards it works out to be about 200 people to see a sales page, so.

So how do you get to a place to where you’re driving, you know, a couple of 100 quality clicks to your sales page, each and every day. Well Your first option is you can you can run a paid ad, and you can pay for those clicks, right. That’s one option, you know, and that and you might pay $1 or $2 per click, right, sure you can get it for cheaper if you find if you get really good at ads or you find a little honey hole maybe on bing ads or Google but Facebook ads traditionally is running one $2 a click, and more. So if I, so my other option is I can go the free content route, TikTok, for example which Jasmine will talk about here in a second and you overcoming your doubts, but the TikTok route, well how long is it going to take me to get 200 people to not just click my link in my bio every day, but to actually go to my landing page and make it all the way through to the sales page, because you’re going to get a certain drop off each and every, you know, 50% of people are going to opt into the opt in page, right, probably at 75 or 80% or who make it to the bridge page are going to continue on, there’s going to be a drop off at each step.

So I may need to drive 300 clicks, well how do I drive 300 quality clicks to a sales page every day. Well I need to build up enough content that I have both videos that are being seen, that are being pushed by TikTok. I have enough credit. And enough followers and enough. What do they call it? Just authority with TikTok right to where when I release a video maybe I get five or 10,000 video views at minimum on each video; and then I’ve also got an email list that I’m sending emails to that are driving a certain number of 50 100 clicks back to a sales page every day. And that takes a bit of time but if I can do that and get to a point to where I’m driving two to 300 clicks to a sales page every single day, that’s where the magic happens. And that takes a bit of time to be able to build up but you have to A. understand that that’s what it takes, I see so many people Jasmine I know I’m ranting and I’m gonna let you talk a lot here in a second but I just have to get this out. Because I see so many people who come in who are new, and they say oh well I uploaded a couple of videos to TikTok or I uploaded a couple of videos to YouTube where I ran a couple of ads and nothing’s working out and it’s like you are. You’re, you’re really far off, what it really takes to be able to create an income, you need to consistently, you need to get to the point where you’re consistently every day driving dozens, and then hundreds of clicks to a sales page not video views, not not your clicks on your bio.

People landing on a sales page. Jasmine as I’m going through this sort of rant, which is the facts and the truth. What’s coming up for you?

Jasmine: Yes, you made earlier on in that in that speech there, you had mentioned, everybody is different, right, and I think that’s like a super important point, because even for me in the beginning, where I kind of got lost. I got lost in the leaderboard, the Legendary marketer leaderboard. I kind of got lost in it, and it can do one of two things for you. For me at the beginning it was kind of like, you know, you look at the leaderboard, and you know you’re not on the leaderboard right, you might not ever be on the leaderboard or you’re not on there that often. And you look at people who get, you know, 2,3,4,5 sales a day right. And you might look at that and you can take that as kind of like, Oh man, I’m not succeeding, or you can take that as motivation. Because those people that you see on top of the leaderboard, they’re doing something right. But you can look at it as, oh my gosh like I’m getting you know, one or two high ticket sales a month, whereas they might be getting, you know 10, 15, 20. So in the beginning, I used to look at that as like a de-motivator, I was like man I’m not getting there. But what I didn’t realize is, you know all these people that you see, They’ve set themselves daily goals daily goals weekly goals monthly goals yearly goals. And I think you got to look at the leaderboard as kind of like a motivator factor, instead of like, oh man I’m not on the leaderboard I’m not succeeding because everybody is different right. And, you know, going towards like TikTok and how you’re driving like driving traffic. My issue in the beginning, I spent three months, literally, November, December, January, so I spent three months trying to grow one TikTok account without really being any like, original at all. So within that three month span, I gained maybe like 9,000 followers, my, my conversion rate was really awful, right, really terrible. And then I talked to somebody in the community and they, they suggest that I try it like a new account, but try and be a little bit more original, you know, don’t talk about, don’t talk about random side hustles. I know those get views ,right, those random side hustles those click-baity ones that everybody sees on TikTok, you know make $3,000 a day, you know, do like voiceovers, those might get you views, right, and for the larger accounts, it does. But what it also does is it gets you, it gets you banned, right, so I had a couple of videos, and honestly that can it can be detrimental, whatever, regardless of what anybody says you do those clickbait videos and you have one or two videos removed, regardless of what anybody says that’s going to destroy your views. So, a recommendation for people on TikTok right now. As Dave said, views, okay views are great, but if they’re not quality views, they mean nothing. Right, so if you’re attracting people through clickbaity, you know, make $2,000 in voiceover $3,000 Listening to listening to music, and you see those, those might bring you followers but at the end of the day, your follower count really doesn’t matter that much because there are people in this community that have 10,000 followers and they have you know, two or three times, gold, and there’s people who have 200,000 followers, and they haven’t made 5,000 bucks. Right. So I mean, it really comes down to the quality, and oh, a lot of people on this live are hopefully I’m not ranting too much but I know a lot of people on this live on Tik Tok. If you’ve been on Tik Tok for a while- and this is just my personal suggestion what happened with me. If you’ve been on Tik Tok per se, you know, two, three or four months, and you’ve had videos taken down because of community guideline violations for whatever reason might be like random, random videos got taken down, and your views have dropped for over three or four weeks. A lot of people suggest changing your account when trying a new account, which I’ve tried, but the only time it’s actually worked, is making a new account with a new phone and a new phone number right now just on the same phone because I tried it and I got a new use. But on my new account to make moneywithjass with two s’s. I did it with a brand new phone brand new number, I took my mom’s phone. And within about three weeks like my videos just literally all exploded.

Pretty much all unexploited, so I was able to gain like 40,000 followers in three weeks, whereas I wasn’t even able to crack 10k followers with my account, just because of those silly community violations by trying to be literally trying to copy these clickbaity videos so if anybody’s trying to grow on Tik Tok and they’re having an issue because of low views because of those violations. Honestly, I suggest trying to do it, brand new phone number, brand new phone. That’s, that’s one of the only ways that I have been able to, yeah exactly make moneywithjass exactly like that.

Dave: But yeah so I mean, don’t it’s not a lot of dude that was like brilliant advice it’s fantastic, don’t, don’t, yeah I mean, look guys, we’re not we’re not here to tell you what to do and what not to do.

It’s just, it’s just, you know, this is all from experience, you know, jazz, Jasmine you got great experience you’ve, you know, and the same thing has happened with Facebook ad accounts too it’s like you go in, they, you get a, you get an ad account shut down or banned or whatever and it’s like, And you may not be doing it, not particularly even doing anything wrong, and in some cases you may not actually be certainly not doing anything illegal, and in some cases you may not have even broken their terms, but their algorithm thought that you did. Maybe it picked up on a certain word or for whatever reason. And then you kind of just go and start another one with the same credit card and everything and it’s it’s the systems are smarter than that. You know what I mean. So, don’t, don’t, you know, don’t, don’t, don’t insult their intelligence if you’re going to start anew, if you’re going to start, if you get an account banned or something. First of all know that we’ve all been there, like we’ve all been there. Some people are like, oh my god like this is the end of the world and it’s like, no, it’s actually not it’s just really a learning lesson for you to say, ‘what can I do different and better? What can I do to clean up my compliance? How can I pay more attention to those aspects of the content of my advertisements?’

The other thing that I really wanted to say Jasmine and I just like I know you were referencing our leaderboard and stuff and obviously you’re, you’re an affiliate for us and you’re kind of in the make money online niche but, you know, a lot of you new folks, you come in, and you, you don’t have to go into that niche, you don’t have to go into the make money online niche. You know, one of the things that we do with all of our books, you know that’s one of the reasons Jasmine why in our, in our challenge, we don’t talk about our affiliate program, you know, we talk about the general concepts we talk about we talk about various niches: health, wealth, relationships. Some of you guys are just not thinking wide enough, you’re, you’re just, you’re coming in, and you’re trying to do, what you see everybody else doing, and there’s really a whole big wide ridiculous sea of opportunity out there in so many different niches, meaning topics, there’s parenting, there’s, there’s, I saw a lady the other day, Texas B. Let me see. No She obviously had a, I followed her instantly because I was like this is like the coolest thing ever.

But she, she, she, she’s a beekeeper. Texasbeeworks is her TikTok channel, and she’s got 3.9 It’s blurry there but anyways it’s called Texas B works. That’s the handle, and she’s got 3.9 million followers, and she’s got less than 20 videos Dude, she’s got like probably 12 videos 369 1215 1821 So she’s got 25, 28 videos, something like that. And she’s got 3.9 million followers, She’s talking about, just she’s doing cool shit. You know what I mean like I don’t know how to say this, it’s just like, I don’t want to talk over anybody’s head I don’t want to be like this weird dumb show that talks in technical jargon, she’s just doing cool shit she’s talking about cool shit. And I think that, that sometimes, I think that we just need all need to take a step back and really tap back into our creativity, and in even be willing to try to grow channels in different niches, Right? One of the reasons why, when somebody goes into our Blueprints we take them through a 90 day process to help them to pick a niche, to be sure that that’s the niche that they want to go into. And so a lot of times when people don’t invest in training, and they don’t go through those sort, of those sort of blueprints, those, you know, that sort of kind of in advanced higher level, kind of, take your time, we have a proven plan for you- which is totally fine, we don’t, we don’t try to force our products on everybody and or shame anybody for not buying something, but I’m just, I want to give you guys all some of what we tell those clients right now, which is what the opposite, what what the college in traditional school system does is they say, just day One day, 18 years old. Pick a, pick a major. And then, Jasmine you’re off to the races man in your, in your, your, three, four years into that major, you maybe go to an internship, and you’re like, ‘I don’t like this’. So, what what we do in the in our Blueprints chaining and what I’d like to invite all of you guys here to think about is that we try to be the opposite of, of the college system, right, the traditional school system, meaning that you don’t have to just jump into a niche because everybody else is doing it. You don’t have to do that, you can actually sit back and take your time by your time I mean, up to 90 days, and in play with some various different niches. And say, What am I excited about what can I actually talk in create unique content where can I take these copywriting skills, I’m learning these content engagement skills by creating awesome hooks on content and getting people to pay attention to what I’m saying in the first second or two of the video and then you’ll all of which by the way we’ve talked about and taught right on these wakeup live shows, by the way. But, by 90 days, then I can make a decision about going into a niche that I really can create some engaging original content, instead of just going into make money online because everybody else is doing it. And certainly, we as a company, appreciate even, you know, basically evangelist of our, of our training, like we appreciate that, you know what I mean like it’s, it’s obviously, we’re doing something right and it’s, it’s, it’s a, it’s a nod to us that people want to promote our products, awesome, but I just want you guys to know that we don’t need you to do that. Nobody’s asking you to do that so if you’re sitting on this show this morning you’re listening to this later and you’re thinking that this is a narrow career, that this is a narrow venture, it’s not, it’s there’s a really big world of affiliate marketing and things that you can get involved in. And I just invite each one of you guys to be open to that idea. Jasmine. I want to talk about the doubt thing, of course, anything that come up came up for you from from those comments, but I want to talk about your doubt, and how you have overcome some of that doubt, are some of that uncomfortability so feel free to share about anything that came up for you in my last rant, or talk to us a little bit about overcoming doubt.

Jasmine: Yeah, so just about what your what you said last that’s one of the most important things is to get into something that you actually enjoy doing. Don’t get into something just because people say you can you can make X amount of dollars or like a particular niche, a particular niche because you’re gonna end up getting burned out, or you’re not gonna end up loving what you do. So regardless if you’re able to make money or not able to make money in it, you’re gonna end up quitting anyways and going back to what you were doing before, which is I think like a fatal flaw, so don’t don’t chase the money, chase what you want to do, Chase what you love doing Chase what you love creating content around because if you’re able to, if you love the content that you’re creating, you will eventually see success with it as long as you’re setting your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly goals for that and looking at it long term in a niche that you actually enjoy, and you’re implementing what you’re actually learning, you will eventually see success, but if you go into a niche just because, oh you know XYZ is making XYZ dollars you know my friend Jay over here does this niche so I’m gonna do it too. You’re likely just gonna end up quitting because you don’t actually love what you do. So I think yeah, as you mentioned really important to actually get into what you love doing, whether that’s, you know, X Y Z program or ABC program just pick what you actually love doing, you know, go into that niche, and create content around that.

Dave: One more thing before we move on, Laurie asked did you use a new domain link for your new account?

Jasmine: No so what I did was I still have two domains up but one what is actually going through beacons like my old one I put through beacons just so they don’t maybe like track it or whatever. And then for my current one I just use my, my same domain but I think because I tried to create again I tried to create an account on the same phone with a different email, and it literally got no views but I tried to do it on my like my mom’s phone. And like my, again this is just my experience with it. My first video got like, 900 likes and like 50,000 views.

I’m just saying like, the views. Okay, let’s remove that okay that took a couple of weeks, but like, even like normal videos, like I reposted similar videos from my old account, like, same style. Not sure. And they got, you know, on my old account they get, you know 300 views but on my new account they get, you know 1000 or 2000. So from what I’ve noticed and I’m no TikTok expert, by far, I don’t think anybody is. The first few videos that you put out honestly in my opinion are super important. And I’ve heard that from multiple people as well, like the first couple of videos that you put out kind of beer. Beer TikTok, TikTok isn’t the end all be all right. Like, there’s people out there that are successful without TikTok. I know a lot of people are talking about Pinterest now. So I don’t know if anybody on here has heard about Calvin Hill.

Dave: The other day, and, and, yeah, we had him on here and he went through Pinterest and what was going on with Pinterest and what he was doing with Pinterest and it’s, it’s just a beast. Are you on Pinterest?

Jasmine: I’m looking into it. I don’t watch Calvin’s lives, Calvin Calvin’s Calvin’s a different breed. I can tell you that.

But yeah, for anybody that’s looking at like other avenues because some people don’t like showing their face, right. So, TikTok isn’t, it’s not like if you don’t succeed on TikTok, you’re not gonna succeed right?

Dave: There’s Pinterest there’s Twitter we had David dill, the other day on Twitter, bro. I was like, oh, Lee. Yeah, you’re right. You don’t have to be on TikTok, I mean everybody’s tripping out about TikTok because it’s this kind of just craze. Like, it’s almost, you know what it’s doing bro, in a sense, like, it’s creating like this crack like epidemic. You know what I mean, like how, like how crack exploded on the street in the 80s and 90s, or whatever, like, like it was never like this man, like internet marketing was a different, it was just a different approach you were doing the Pinterest you were doing the Twitter’s you were doing the YouTube span, you know where you were kind of had lower expectations, and it wasn’t this, you know, overnight kind of thing. And so, in a sense, Tiktok has been sort of this double edged sword for everybody because they can have all this crazy exposure and success, success. I do call even getting video views success like any sort of feedback, any sort of progress is success. I’m not particularly just only talking about money. But yeah it’s created this expectation that everybody should get results that fast and guys I’m here to tell you that I don’t know what the future brings, maybe we’re gonna have tons of TikToks I’m sure it’s going to be exciting and there’s going to be ways to get results a lot faster than ever before. But just remember that the fortunes, the real fortunes that I know about on the internet, you know in affiliate marketing and course creation and stuff haven’t been created on Tik Tok, like they’ve all been created before Tik Tok was ever invented. So just keep that in mind. What you’re saying Jasmine I think is really important and that’s why I wanted to just add that piece to it because most 99.999999999999999% of fortunes have been created without TikTok. So don’t be don’t become an internet marketing crack attic to where all the sudden now you are chasing that high. If you get that high be grateful for it right if you get that high be like, Yo, that was an epic ride, but don’t get addicted to it. I mean, don’t get addicted to it to where if you don’t get it or have it like now all of a sudden you’re let down and you’re going through detoxes and you, like thinking about offing yourself, you know what I mean basically killing your business, don’t do that, you know, remember that most fortunes, if not all fortunes have been created without TikTok.

I interrupted you a little bit I don’t know if you wanted to finish your thought but but let’s keep moving and eventually find our way to this, you know, overcoming the doubt piece.

Jasmine: Yeah, so just trying to like the the doubt for me, I cannot go back on the pages mentioning, like, TikTok, it’s like, like for the people that are just getting into the digital marketing space just like me, we have to think like, what if TikTok wasn’t here? Right so he’s removed TikTok for just a second, even though it’s the low hanging fruit. And if it’s not working for you there’s other avenues that people obviously have been super successful. So just because one avenue isn’t working, like say remove TikTok. TikTok’s not working for you? TikTok wasn’t here, not too long ago right or wasn’t being used for you know, digital marketing content. Focus on other content, focus on Twitter, try that focus on Pinterest try that, try and start a YouTube channel. Right so don’t don’t get lost in the TikTok isn’t working for me so I feel that this, I’m going to go back to doing what I was before I quit. Don’t do that. But in terms of overcoming adversity. It really comes down to mindset and mindset is so important, and what you do on a daily basis so I was getting super discouraged because I wasn’t seen, I wasn’t really seeing any success through TikTok. Right.

And for that, it’s like you have two options you can either say hey man like this isn’t working for me, I quit. I’m gonna look, I’m gonna go back to looking for a job and you know I tried digital marketing but it didn’t work out for me. Or you can say, You know what, I’m going to try this again, whether that’s, you know, I’m going to go all in. Like I believe Dave Dill right, I believe that he was all in on Twitter, right, let’s go all in on Twitter because people are making that work. Let me try and educate myself regarding that, and let me do that. So for me, really it was eliminating me looking at other people’s success, and then portraying that onto me. Like, oh, you know, they’re posting this content and they’re seeing success but I’m not doing it. You have to be like, kind of like unique in your own way. Because at the end of the day, you know you can copy someone else’s content and you can copy their funnel and you can copy their bridge page and you can copy their hashtags and what they’re doing. But what you can’t copy, and what other people can’t copy is you. So you have to really try and sell yourself, rather than trying to try to push, push the content even though the content still has to be good, some content works better for some people and some content works better for others.

So for me it was really just trying to find myself and not really, you know, and stop comparing myself to other people because at that day. Some people have been in the industry for five years, 10 years. And some people are relatively newer than seeing success but don’t look at someone else’s success to put yourself down. Use it as motivation. And I think a lot of people, even myself and you know, in the early days which they’re still early, I looked at other people’s success and I was like man, why am I not there? You know, we’re doing the same thing we started at the same time, it’s like you can’t, you can’t compare yourself to someone else because everybody’s different, right. Yeah, you’re gonna you’re gonna attract people like you, right and they’re gonna attract people like them. So if one thing is not working, try something else. Don’t just quit. And people quit, I think way too early, Right, like they’re out for a month, two months, three months, four months they don’t see success they’re like oh man, this sucks like I’m out of here I’m gonna go try X, Y, Z like I’m gonna go try dropshipping I’m gonna go try Amazon I’m gonna go try import products right stick to one course until you start seeing success because like it’s an even playing field. Generally speaking, it’s an even playing field we all, most people have access to Twitter Tiktok, YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, like those are just common things that most people have access to.

A lot of people have similar resources so if someone else is able to make it work, you can make it work, you just have to, you just have to educate yourself around it. And don’t like please don’t compare yourself to other people, and for the people that are for instance in, let X, Y, Z community, like, don’t look at the top people in that group and look at it as like why am I not there yet. Look at it as how can I get there?. Daily goals right? People look at you I want to get to 10k a month, right, I want to get to 10k a month. I’ll quit my job if I get to 10k, but they don’t say like, ‘Okay, what am I going to do tomorrow? What’s my, what’s my plan for today? What’s my plan for tomorrow? What’s my plan for the next week?’ right, my goal is, you know, one conversion day or two conversions a day or five conversions day not 1000 conversions a day right off the bat. Right, so don’t get, like you have to, you have to kind of fall in love with the process right so there’s roles, you know, one, one conversion two conversions a day, you know, and then you move on from there. Now, I want to get 100 conversions a day I’m going to compare myself to someone who’s been doing it for 10 years, right and then get demotivated, so it’s really just fall in love with your niche fall in love with the process and just stay consistent right like just put in that effort every single day, whether it’s half an hour 20 minutes, one hour, two hour whatever you got for you and just like stick with it, cuz like your goal should be long term not short term and I think that’s why a lot of people fail, they have like the short term like, I’m gonna quit my job in two months, even though he or she did it. It’s like no, like, stay consistent with it over time like focus on you know, one year, five year, 10 year, right, like, well I believe work it out.

Dave: I believe Jazz that, you know, people shouldn’t quit their job, dude. He definitely not no, because, because here’s why. Let me tell you why. This is my opinion. If, If you can’t be successful doing this with a job, then you’re not going to be any more successful without a job, because now you’re gonna have all this time on your hands. So what having a job does, in my opinion, is it, it makes you super on point with your time.

Because you know you’ve got limited time and you’ve got specific windows. So now you got to get really good at not only making the most out of your time but you also got to make the most out of your sleep, like, you got to make sure you get good sleep. You got to really learn how to take care of yourself, you know, I mean, like, I remember my wife and I, we separated. Many years ago, and we had a couple of separations early in our relationship, but like we, dude, this was when I learned how to take care of myself. You know what I mean, Because I didn’t have my girlfriend going around, washing dishes and doing laundry and, you know, I mean, making sure I was taking care of myself. Right. And, and that was, that was good for me, you know, so I think that, that, you know, what I realized and I had already had some success in business by that time, but what I realized was that, like that ,like I really didn’t know how to take care of myself. Like I really didn’t know how to do self care, I really didn’t know how exhausted I was. I was staying up late, I was like, I was all messed up. And I think if we have a job, and we have to fit in building a business, and, and, and even taking care of kids and getting sleep like it really brings out.

It’s gonna make you or break you. Right, it’s gonna make you or break you. And especially if you have the ability, you know you have a job, and you don’t have kids, right, you got all the time in the world I’m gonna tell you something if you guys, if any of you guys don’t have kids, you, you actually don’t realize how much free time you have on your hands, like you don’t, you do not realize how much. If you want to take care of your kids like if you want to actually, you know, pay attention to them. Like when I’m in the house. It’s one of the reasons why, why I don’t work in my house that I sleep in, is because, well I do, but it’s in the garage, and it’s, I got a, I got a desk set up in the garage, and it’s like, it’s I try to, you know, be like this I’m not in the house, I’m in the garage. So, but, like, if you don’t have kids and you got a job. All right. And you don’t have kids. The, the, you have all the time in the world. You have all the time in the world. Trust me go get kids, go get you some kids. And I’m going to show you, you’re going to come back and say that ‘David that son of a bitch. I don’t have not a God blessed second..I can’t breathe these kids are down my friggin throat’. That it’s unbelievable. It’s unbelievable. I have two kids, let me tell you how onpoint I am with my time. So, you got a job, now all of a sudden every minute counts, right, and we learn how to make the most out of our time do self care get in bed at a good time. And I believe just how you do one things how you do everything bro how you do one things how you do everything. So I see a lot of people also like, oh I’m gonna I’m not successful in affiliate marketing, I’m gonna go do, Amazon, or I’m gonna go do this or that, it’s like, but how you do one thing is how you do everything. Wherever you go, there you are. So it’s like you bring those same bad habits, that same bad attitude into this new business model, it’s not going to be any different. Because the truth is that every one of you guys could be successful at anything that you do, if you wanted to. If you knew how to be not that if you wanted to because I believe each one of you guys want to see that’s that’s unfair, but I believe if you knew how, which really boils down to dynamics that I’m talking about not the mechanics of the business like, oh, you know, TikTok. No, it’s the dynamics, it’s this shit I’m talking about with doing self care, just talked about this attitude overcoming doubt not not comparing yourself, not leaving before the miracle happens not comparing your insides to other people’s outside it’s like all this stuff you just said bro is shit that I’ve been talking about for years and I’ve got even got these little phrases for, like, don’t leave before the miracle happens, don’t compare your insides with other people’s outsides, you know, all this kind of stuff because it’s true.

I don’t know what you’re laying out is just a lot of facts bro, a lot of facts, we got to bring this in for a landing. Give us some final like what, First of all, what’s been your experience with Legendary? Like what are you, have you been loving this journey in this community and have you gotten a lot out of this sort of process here within LM?

Jasmine: Yeah, definitely. And I’m going to say that for a couple of reasons. The first is like Legendary marketer, regardless of what anybody like what people think like they actually want to see you succeed, as Dave always mentioned like they’re a for profit business, but they care about your success so whether you know whether you go into a lab or whether you go into like a different program wherever you go into whatever you should go into, I truly believe that Dave and and Legendary marketer want to see you succeed, which is why they put so much content and so much effort into what they do. But for me, like I again, I didn’t know anything about digital marketing. I knew nothing about affiliate marketing before I went to the Legendary marketer course. So that really opened up my eyes and I really do appreciate it, and for the community you know I’ve been fortunate enough to talk to some pretty successful people in the Legendary marketer community. And I’ve never met someone that’s doing, you know, more than what I am, that hasn’t been willing to help. So for anybody that’s in, in the community, whether you’re like with LM or not with Legendary, like reach out to those people if you see someone on on like TikTok that’s doing like really well honestly jump in their lives like ask them questions, send them an email. Like these people are willing to help. Right, and I know people you know you might see them on a top 30 leaderboard like the Top 10 Top 50 People like, I guarantee you, each and every single one of those people in that community, are willing to help you with whatever questions you may have. And that’s been my experience so like the community that you know that you and Legendary, you guys have been able to build is, I think amazing truly amazing everybody’s willing to help.

If anybody has any questions for myself, reach out to me and like, I think the community you’ve been able to build is just in my opinion, and I haven’t had experience with a lot of them but it’s really second to none. Just because everybody wants to see the next person succeed and I think that’s what separates the community from others, right, so nobody wants to see you fail, right, everybody wants to see you succeed. So yeah that’s kind of that’s kind of my thoughts,

Dave: And you make a good point because it’s like buying by jumping onto like if you’re interested in what somebody is doing by jumping on their live, you’re also helping their business. Yeah, because you’re jumping on their live, you’re commenting on their stuff so it actually brings value to them you’re not you don’t need to worry about bothering them. You don’t need to worry about you, that is helping them so I want you guys to really understand that if you jump on one of Jasmine’s lives or jump on a Calvin live or something like you’re actually helping their business because you’re giving them viewership comments, social proof, showing that people are interested in their content so it’s this wonderful giving take and that’s why I say every single show we do is go to Jasmine’s profile, like his stuff, comment on his stuff. Sure, like, you know, if you need inspiration, if you need help, if you if you have a question about some of the things that he’s been talking about here, go lift him up every single time that he posted a video, I, I’m telling you guys, I’m telling you to do this, not just inviting, I’m telling you go lift other people up, it will come back to you tenfold, it will come back to you tenfold. By lifting them up I mean, commenting on their stuff, your content’s incredible thanks like that takes two seconds. And when that person sees you commenting on their stuff. Each time they post a video, and then all of a sudden you show up on a live or you hit them with a question, how excited do you think that person is going to be to over deliver on an answer for you? They’re going to be incredibly excited. It takes two seconds to do that and I think we all should put forth, you know, 15, 20 minutes per day to just say, ‘I’m going to go and just show love. I’m just going to go and support fellow entrepreneurs’. I try to do it. I try to go in, in, like people’s posts and common on people’s stuff like, you know, there’s tons of stuff I don’t see at all, but I try to do that too. And so, Jasmine, brother. You know what I realized when I, when I asked this whole time you’ve been talking about overcoming doubt, and like the whole show has been about that you’ve just weaved it wonderfully into each, you know, thing that you’ve said and shared and I’ve just really enjoyed hearing what you’ve had to say. Your perspective on things is really really wise, It’s really smart. I think that the mechanical tips you’ve given us are excellent, but if people really listened to this episode about the things that you said, they could they could they could save themselves a lot of frustration, a lot of disappointment, and not only probably be more successful but also enjoy the journey a lot more. So appreciate that my man.

Jasmine: Awesome, thank you for having me and stay Legendary as they always say.

Dave: All right. My brother will talk to you soon. Okay, we’ll have you back. Please come back. Alright, thanks so much. Alright man see ya.

Vida Divina Review: An MLM Opportunity or A Scam?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

For one of the newer MLMs on the block, Vida Divina has made a name for themselves–and a fortune–pretty quickly. Between 2016 and 2021, Vida Divina has brought in $197 million in revenue.

The question is, will signing up as a Vida Divina help you make your own fortune, or will it leave you out to dry? Does Vida Divina offer a true money-making opportunity or is it a scam?

At Legendary Marketer, we write regularly about online business tactics and marketing. Now we’re here to deliver the Vida Divina review you’ve been waiting for.

Read on to learn more about the Vida Divina opportunity and whether or not it’s really worth it.

What Is Vida Divina?

Health and wellness company Vida Divina was founded in 2016 by California-based Armand Puyolt. Using the multi-level marketing model (MLM), Vida Divina sells products such as nutritional supplements, diet programs and products, cosmetics, and even healthy pet treats. Some of their most popular products are the Gano supplements, HCG capsules, and diet meal replacement shakes called Lean.

The product that outweighs all the rest and that the company was founded on is the Vida Divina tea collection, TeDivina. Vida Divina teas are designed to help the body detox with the assistance of natural ingredients like ginger and chamomile. The company also sells high numbers of organic coffee products and “Liquid Gold,” a skincare product that is apparently made from literal gold.

Overall, Vida Divina products are well-rated. Comparable products can be found in wellness stores and on websites like Amazon for a lower price, which can be a deterrent for new customers. That being said, people are still flocking to these products, which could spell good news for Vida Divina affiliates–but will it?

What Perks Can You Expect From Working for Vida Divina?

Like most other MLMs, Vida Divina offers two primary ways for affiliates to make money in addition to the occasional bonus or free product.

The first money-making method is to sell Vida Divina products to non-affiliated consumers. Commission rates range from 5%-20% depending on the product. It doesn’t appear that Vida Divina increases commission rates based on affiliate ranking, a practice some other MLMs use to encourage engagement.

The second money-making method is, of course, to build your downstream. You can expect to receive a 5% commission rate from the sales made by affiliates working beneath you. These include affiliates you’ve personally recruited as well as any affiliates they have personally recruited.

The biggest draw is that you get to pursue these endeavors on your own time. This is, after all, why many of us are attracted to the opportunities of starting our own online businesses. There is also the potential to start developing a passive income, but this tends to work only if your downstream remains motivated and active.

How Much Are Vida Divina Affiliates Really Making?

Now, let’s move away from the proposed possibilities and into the reality of the situation. There are already thousands of Vida Divina affiliates who are actively selling products and recruiting a downstream. How much are they making annually?

If you’ve followed along for our previous MLM reviews, you’ve heard us talk about the income disclosure statement. Ideally, an income disclosure statement breaks down the averages, highs, and lows not of the income brought in across the board, but of the income brought in at each affiliate level. In addition, a solid income disclosure statement will reveal how many affiliates are currently active in each level.

The reason we look for these things is because nine times out of ten, the vast majority (we’re talking 80% or more) of an MLM’s affiliates are operating at the lowest level. In other words, the vast majority are making the smallest average income of the entire group. Typically, less than 1% of an MLM’s affiliates are actually pulling six figures each year.

Vida Divina’s income disclosure statement is too vague to draw a solid conclusion from. All it reveals is that they assume that on average, their affiliates are making between $500 and $2,000 per year. This doesn’t tell us the highs you can strive for or the lows you might want to expect.

What Skills Do You Need to Make It With Vida Divina?

Even if we could assume that most of Vida Divina’s affiliates are making somewhere between $500 and $2,000 a year, that’s not a lot of money. It’s probably not what you were hoping to make based on some of the claims MLM websites tend to make.

Why is it so hard to make a solid income with Vida Divina? The products are well-rated, so shouldn’t they sell themselves?

The reality is that no MLM products are ever going to sell themselves. If you don’t know how to reach a market wider than the pool of people you know, you’re going to oversaturate your own market in a matter of weeks.

To really strike gold with any MLM, you need some serious online marketing skills. You need to master social media, become a YouTube champion, and capture the interest and trust of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation–or even the world.

How can you achieve this skill level?

Beyond the Vida Divina Review: Marketing Tools For Online Entrepreneurs

As you can see from our Vida Divina review, Vida Divina is not a scam. It is a true MLM offering affiliates opportunities to make money on their own time. However, it isn’t going to be as easy as paying your start-up fee and reaching out to friends and family.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Is Cosway the Right MLM Business for You?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

You might be familiar with MLMs in the USA, but do you know what the network marketing landscape looks like in Asia?

If you’re living in Southeast Asia, you probably know the Cosway logo. They’ve been around for forty years, and they have thousands of stores located in famous shopping districts and malls across the region. It’s possible you didn’t even know they were a direct marketing company until now!

In this Cosway review, we’ll dive into the background and business practices of this Malaysian-founded MLM. Read on to learn if Cosway is the right place to put your time and hard-earned money.

Cosway: Their Model Explained

Cosway (formally known as Cosway Corporation limited) has been in business since 1979. Though it has its roots firmly in Malaysia, the company has expanded into nearby Asian countries like Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The company has hundreds of physical stores in urban and rural centers across Malaysia and close to 2,000 across the region.

Cosway labels itself a “hybrid consumer marketing” company, and in many ways, that’s true. Its sales model is a mix of retail outlets and online stores, product stockists, and direct-seller representatives (who Cosway calls “smart earners”). They also offer the opportunity for Cosway members to run their physical stores, giving them a 5 percent commission on all products sold.

Cosway manufactures and sells a wide range of consumer and health products, from cosmetics and fragrances to household cleaning products and dietary supplements. In keeping with the MLM tradition, the company requires their “smart earners” to buy Cosway products, introduce them to others through direct selling or running an online store, and bring on new members.

What’s Attractive About Cosway?

If you’re considering creating an MLM business, maybe Cosway’s the one for you? They’re certainly some things well, at least in their key markets.

Well Established in Malaysia

For an MLM, Cosway has a very long history in Malaysia. Its decades-long existence rivals historic network marketing companies like NutraLife (started in the 1940s) and Mary Kay (in the 1960s).

Because the company has been around for so long, it has reasonably good brand recognition. That’s something you can use to help you sell their products. They also rebranded in 2016 and now have a clean, though still identifiable logo, sleek website and online store, and comprehensive marketing materials.

What if you’re not based in Malaysia? If you live in a country in the East Asia region, Cosway is likely to be well recognized there, too.

Wide Range of Quality Products

Cosway has an enormous line of household, cosmetics, nutrition, and food MLM products. You could almost use their products exclusively to stock your home, outside of having to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. The good news about an extensive product range is that you can choose to focus on a niche you’re passionate about–say, fragrances–or you can sell a bit of everything.

Cosway also promotes eco-friendly living, claiming that their products are “healthier, safe, and greener.” On their website, the company notes that all their products are free from:

Synthetic colorants
Phosphates
Formaldehyde
Nonylphenols
Nitrates and SLS

They also state that their products are tested to comply with international standards and are run subject to rigorous quality control measures.

Events, Incentives, and Support

A key motivator for people joining MLMs is the sense of community. Once you’ve signed up, you have access to a wide array of monthly and yearly events, as well as support from your up-line (the network marketers who’ve been there longer than you).

And there are certainly a lot of exciting events to attend if you’re part of Cosway!

Cosway celebrated its 40th anniversary in late 2019 with an extravagant gala night attended by hundreds of people. They partner with local charities, organize blood drives, hold regular membership and sales incentives, and put on luxurious product line launch parties.

The company notes on their website that they provide staff with professional training and a multitude of resources. Though there is no information on what that might look like, they have some product brochures available for download.

Cosway: What to Be Wary Of

Of course, like a lot of MLMs, Cosway looks like an exciting business to be a part of. From the outside. Let’s peer under the covers and dissect some of their less promising practices.

Recruit to Earn

Unlike some MLMs, at least Cosway is somewhat transparent when it comes to the way it operates.

While the company does list some details about membership (what they call “becoming a smart earner”) on its website, visitors are encouraged to enquire if they want to learn more. If they click a link to learn more about the online Cosway business opportunity, they’ll find the requirements for starting a Cosway business. These include having sold a certain number of products within the month of application and recruiting two new members (who also need to have sold products).

There are no details on the product buy-in required of new members (only membership is mentioned), nor does the company explain how people move up through the levels listed on its website in the form of bonuses.

A Lot of Competition

Cosway claims that its customers come back again and again due to their retail stores’ high availability. But it’s those retail stores that might make business more difficult for new member-sellers.

Since Cosway has retail stores selling Cosway products, online business operator opportunities, and person-to-person selling as part of its model, there’s a lot of competition for customers. And if you’re adhering to the requirements to recruit new members to earn higher bonuses, the city or region you work in will soon be flooded with Cosway sellers.

And, of course, you’ll be competing in the open marketplace for sales. Does Cosway training really prepare you to stand out against experienced online marketers?

Exploring the Alternatives

Cosway has a long and trusted history in its homeland of Malaysia and further afield in other parts of Asia. Their products are well-made, and consumers recognize their brand. As far as direct selling opportunities go, it’s not a bad bet.

But no matter which entrepreneurial business you decide to pursue, you’re only going to get out what you put in. If you don’t know how to connect with your audience, you won’t get very far.

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

Can You Make Money From Faberlic?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

David Sharpe bio

For many in the west, Faberlic may be a direct selling company they have never heard of. Faberlic is a Russian company that sells cosmetics, home goods, fashion, perfume, food, and more.

Selling within their representatives’ social networks, Faberlic makes use of multi-level marketing (MLM). If you’re considering becoming a Faberlic representative and taking on an at-home business opportunity, read this Faberlic review to find out if it’s the right move for you.

Plus, I’ll also tell you about another marketing opportunity that might be just the shot you’re looking for.

Faberlic Review

Faberlic started in 1997 under the name “Russian Line,” highlighting Russian innovations in cosmetics. It rebranded in 2001 as Faberlic and began to grow on the international market.

Some of their spotlight products are their oxygen cosmetics. These are designed to hold air at the skin and get more oxygen into the tissues.

As the company expanded, it moved into fashion and home accessories as well. It works with many Russian professionals and international brands.

The Faberlic MLM recruits representatives to sell directly to their customers.

How to Join Faberlic

Interested peopled who want to join Faberlic often do so by getting recruited by another representative. If they don’t know another representative, Faberlic connects them with a local who can be their mentor.

Those hoping to start a business as an independent representative must sign up with their personal information. Faberlic then connects with new sales consultants so they can learn more about making purchases through the portal.

When representatives make purchases, they do so at a 20% discount. They can sell them at full price to their clients, making a profit.

Representatives have to strategize sales, marketing of products, and traveling to clients themselves. There are no reimbursements in MLMs for business costs, so representatives must learn how to budget for this within their profit goal.

Faberlic: To Join or Not to Join

The major thing to consider about joining an MLM like Faberlic is that it requires you to put out money before you can make it. This means getting started can be expensive.

Finding enough clients can also be difficult. MLMs spread out as they recruit. By the time you are recruited in a specific territory, many others may have been as well. This means that they are already saturating the area.

Due to the structure of recruitment in MLMs, the highest levels often make the most money because they get a share of their “downline’s” sales. That means that everyone they recruited and everyone they recruited make money for the top level. This shifts a lot of wealth to the top, while the bottom struggles.

Do you want to put a lot of money out only to have to compete for clients and have limited options for recruits of your own while your upline makes money from your sales? It’s understandable if not.

But don’t worry, if you’re starting to get sour on direct selling you could still have a career ahead of you in marketing. You’ll just need to pivot your attention to a different type of marketing: affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Marketing Is a Better Option

Affiliate marketing shares many things in common with network marketing, which is what makes it an attractive alternative. For those who are good at making connections with clients and promoting interesting products, affiliate marketing may be a great next step.

Affiliate marketing does not make you responsible for anyone else’s products or dependent on selling items to make money. Instead, you connect with sellers who want their products promoted. Then you use your online presence to show an audience what’s available out there.

You have probably come across people using affiliate marketing pretty recently. Ever been reading through a recipe blog and can across a link to the author’s favorite mixer?

If you clicked on the link and bought the mixer, the author probably got a small commission from the seller for sending you to their sales page.

You can do the same, with some creativity and smart planning.

Doing Affiliate Marketing As a Job

Doing affiliate marketing as a job consists of getting creative and getting organized enough to create unique-to-you content that readers, viewers, listeners, and more will enjoy.

You can use many low-cost or free platforms to start making content. It can consist of blogs, social media posts to things like Instagram or TikTok, or videos on YouTube. Your content must be engaging enough to attract an audience on its own.

Inside your content, you can place reviews, affiliate links, and more to direct buyers to sellers. Using affiliate tech, the seller will be able to tell that buyers came from your content and compensate you for it.

To make it even simpler, there are affiliate marketing programs that set content creators up with sellers who need promotion. This saves you time on researching products so you can get right to promoting and making money.

The biggest benefit? Your content never goes away, so you continue to make passive income from old posts long after you’ve put effort into creating and uploading them.

Is Hinode the Right Direct Selling Cosmetics Company for You?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

In the modern world, starting an online cosmetics business is a dream for many people. Working 9am-5pm is no longer the only option, and earning money online offers a new opportunity to escape from the rat race.

The Hinode Group offers people a way to succeed without having to do it all on their own. However, the reality with many multi-level marketing (MLM) businesses is that few people make much money.

Unfortunately, many online entrepreneurs lose faith early on when they realize how hard it is to succeed. Many MLM companies don’t tell recruits how much work is involved to really make the big bucks.

Let’s have a look at the Hinode business offering and find out how you can succeed with an online business.

Who Are Hinode Cosmetics?

Franciso and Adelaide Rodrigues started Hinode from their garage back in 1988. How long the company has operated is important, as it means they’ve been able to trade for over 30 years.

They began using the Hinode MLM business model in 2008. This format allows each person to increase their income based on their work and results.

There are currently over 450 Hinode franchises, which indicates they help people to be successful.

There are reports that Hinode Cosmetics had an estimated commission payout of $245 million in 2020. This means they paid their consultants around $27, 968 per hour. These figures would excite any potential online entrepreneurs.

Hinode also has several awards for product creation which suggests they sell high-quality goods. However, to truly understand an MLM company’s success, you need to understand how they make money.

How to Make Money with Hinode Cosmetics

The research for our Hinode review confirms that they make money from selling physical products, making them a legitimate MLM company. Many MLM businesses get a bad name and are illegal because they make money only from recruiting consultants.

If you come across a business model that makes money in this way, avoid them and look for another opportunity.

Hinode also offers its consultants several ways to increase their income. The most obvious way to make money is with direct selling. But this approach can be difficult.

Many people start by selling cosmetics to friends and family. Some people may buy the products to help you out at the start. However, they are unlikely to become long-term customers.

You also risk losing friends because you are selling them cosmetics they don’t want.

A better choice may be to recruit other consultants. The basis of an MLM company is that you then get a percentage of every sale made by one of your recruits.

Again, this can be complicated. You can spend a lot of time recruiting people only to find out they can’t sell well. Recruits can also expect a lot of support. You may find you don’t have time to help them as much as you’d like.

Selling cosmetics with Hinode also offers the chance to win fantastic trips and prizes. However, this is not a good reason to join the Hinode MLM network.

You should only work with a company that offers the chance to make a good amount of money on a regular basis.

Hinode seems to offer their consultants the chance to earn a high income by selling decent products. But you need to know more before you give them your money.

Risks of Joining an MLM Company

When looking for a side income or a full-time online job, the main problem is finding who to trust. Working with an MLM company means you need to recruit more consultants, which can be difficult.

Recruits can lack motivation, leave for a different job, and even be dishonest.

Many companies have excellent advertising, but you need to decide if this is just to recruit more consultants. Don’t be tricked by flashy pictures and slogans. Making money for your business is all that matters.

You also have to overcome the stigma of working for an MLM company. If you believe in the product, this may not be a problem. But you should expect your family and friends to be wary of your new business.

Being successful with an online company doesn’t mean you have to sign up with an MLM company. Most people will fail anyway because they don’t know how to market online.

Learn to Start a Successful Online Business

There are many companies that help you to set up a website in minutes. But creating your site is only the first step in starting an online business. Marketing is the most important aspect because it is how you attract customers.

Trying to learn marketing without a mentor is like trying to learn to drive without an instructor. The chances of success are slim, and you could waste a lot of money in the process.

Rather than wasting time and money on techniques that don’t work, you can learn how to be an affiliate marketer. This is one of the quickest ways to make substantial amounts of money online.

Selling high-ticket items means you earn more money with each sale. This is a great way to generate a substantial income quickly.

Many people treat an online business as a hobby, but this is not the way to succeed. To make a business work, you need to put in time and effort. Using the right methods is essential. Otherwise, you are likely to fail before you start.

Choosing the right mentor means partnering with someone with experience and previous results. Anyone can say they are an expert. But partnering with a professional is the best way to boost your income.

Online marketing techniques change constantly, so you need to work with a company that can keep you up to date. You’ll have enough to do when selling your products and managing your ad campaigns.

Legendary Marketer Can Help You Succeed

This review of Hinode cosmetics should help you appreciate the potential of online marketing. But it’s not as simple as putting up a website. You need to understand online marketing.

The Legendary Marketer’s experienced team can help you sell multiple high-commission products that people already want to buy. If you put in the effort, you too can enjoy a high income every month.

Amorepacific Review: Is This the Right Opportunity for You?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

The beauty industry will be worth over $438 billion by 2026. Not only is the beauty industry profitable but it will still generate revenue over the next few years, making it a great opportunity for your business.

If you want to succeed in the beauty industry, you may not know where to start. That’s why so many people get sucked into MLM companies, such as Amorepacific. Brands like these sell high-quality products and promise a return — as long as you invest in their company.

Is Amorepacific worth it? Here’s our Amorepacific review and whether or not you should trust them.

Amorepacific Overview

Amorepacific is a South Korean beauty company that sells a wide range of skincare and cosmetic products. They formed in the year 1945 by Suh Sung-wah. The company was originally called Pacific Ocean Chemical Company LTD and would develop its new name later down the road.

Amorepacific is considered to be one of the top 20 global beauty companies and is the second-largest beauty company in South Korea, earning the nickname “the Avon of South Korea.”

Amorepacific Ingredients

Amorepacific is known as a luxury beauty brand and their prices aren’t cheap. So, what are Amorepacific products made with? Here are some of the key ingredients.

Green Tea

Amorepacific is best-known for using green tea extract in many of their products, specifically their skincare products.

Green tea is a powerful ingredient that contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it very beneficial for the skin. This ingredient slows down the aging process and makes skin look radiant and glowing.

Green tea also contains an abundance of polyphenols. This eliminates oxidative stress, reduces free radicals, and prevents damage from UV rays.

Red Ginseng

Red ginseng is another ingredient that contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help repair damaged skin and will make you look refreshed, even if you’re not having the best day. Red ginseng also increases cell turnover for glowing skin.

Bamboo Sap

The bamboo plant is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This is why Amorepacific uses this ingredient in a variety of their skin and hair products.

When applied to the skin, it can firm up loose skin and decrease other aging symptoms. Bamboo sap is also very hydrating, heals damaged skin, and reduces hyperpigmentation. When used on the hair, bamboo sap both cleanses and moisturizes each strand for beautiful locks.

How Does the Amorepacific MLM Work?

First and foremost, it’s important to point out that Amorepacific’s MLM structure is pretty archaic. They applied the door-to-door sales approach after World War II where women could sell their products to provide for their family.

Today, most buyers purchase Amorepacific products from stores. In the US, you can only buy Amorepacific products via retail stores and online. But Amorepacific is still an active MLM in Korea; they generate 51% of their revenue from direct selling.

Amorepacific works similarly to other MLMs. Consultants have to buy their products and sell them to the market. To earn more income, you’ll have to invite more people to join your rank and earn their commissions.

As with all other MLMs, you need to not only be diligent about selling the products but also the MLM services. This is how you’ll truly earn money.

Pros and Cons of Selling Amorepacific

While Amorepacific is a typical MLM, there are some benefits of selling this brand over other brands. Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons.

Pros

Unlike other MLM beauty brands, Amorepacific actually has excellent products. They’re scientifically proven to work and contain natural ingredients. In addition, the current chief executive Suh Kyung Bae (the grandson of the original founder) tests all of the new Amorepacific products before they go on the shelf.

Cons

Many sellers are attracted to Amorepacific because their products are high-quality and expensive. With the high price tag, you may think you’ll earn hefty commissions. Unfortunately, you have to keep investing in the company, making the earning opportunity very minimum.

Since you’re relying on sales and new consultant onboarding, this isn’t a consistent revenue stream. You’ll have to invest a lot of time trying to sell and recruit, making the process not worth it.

Our Amorepacific Review: Should You Trust This MLM?

Amorepacific does have some benefits over other MLMs. You’ll earn more commission on the products you sell. When you recruit new consultants, you also earn their commission. But you have to continue investing in the company, making it similar to a pyramid scheme.

Amorepacific is a legitimate business, but this MLM isn’t a good opportunity. While it may seem like an easy way to earn money, it’s challenging trying to recruit members.

While Amorepacific is a global brand, they’re in competition with other brands that have great products at a more affordable price. In addition, many buyers can purchase Amorepacific products outside of its consultants, making it even more difficult for sellers.

Why Affiliate Marketing Is the Better Option

One of the reasons why MLM companies don’t offer the best opportunity is because you have to keep investing your time and money into your sales without a promise of earning money.

If you truly want to become your own boss, you also have to make it worthwhile. This means finding an opportunity that’s easy to get into and doesn’t require a major investment.

This is where affiliate marketing comes in. With affiliate marketing, you’ll create high-quality content that promotes a brand and its products. When you attract your followers to become customers, you earn a percentage of the commission.

The best part about affiliate marketing is it’s affordable to get started! All you have to do is devote your time to doing what you love — creating content and connecting with your followers.

Try Affiliate Marketing

In order for you to develop your skills, you should consider taking a free or paid marketing course. There are a variety of digital marketing courses you can take from businesses that can help you enhance your skills. As of writing this, over 80,000 new marketers have taken the Online Business Builder Challenge (only $7), and that might be a good starting place for you as well.

PM-International: Is This a Health and Wellness Opportunity or Scam?

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Here’s a shocker: One out of every 13 Americans of already tried out a multilevel marketing program. Whether you’re making money selling dietary supplements or not, these health and wellness companies are here to stay.

Interested in direct selling for PM-International MLM?

Take a look at our PM-International review below!

What Is PM-International?

In case you didn’t know, PM-International is a world-renowned multilevel marketing brand that is based in Germany. Despite that fact, they have been able to reach a global audience and are well known for selling everything from:

Health supplements
Beauty supplements
FitLine supplements for athletes

Not only that, but the FitLine range of products includes essentials like proprietary supplement blends to fatty acids. Claiming to refresh and revitalize its clients, business is booming for PM-International. In fact, they even recently hit the annual income milestone of $1 billion.

That being said, there’s been more public interest in this specific MLM company than others of the last couple of years. In addition to this, PM-International has begun working with professional athletes as well for its marketing campaign, increasing its ever-growing popularity. If it though not as well-known in the United States, they may be able to conquer this corner of the market too.

Besides this, the recent increase in PM-International sales is sure to bring on a slew of new marketing associates too. But before you jump onto the PM-International train, you should ask yourself: Is it the right choice for you?

What Does PM-International Sell?

Since its target audience is focused on super athletes, PM-International offers things like basic vitamins and minerals to post and pre-workout sports drinks.

For instance, one of its supplements called “Restorate” contains all of the iron, zinc, magnesium, copper, selenium, and calcium you need for peak performance. Supposedly, this is the best way for athletes to conquer common magnesium and iron deficiencies. Additionally, this supplement can potentially help athletes prevent anemic symptoms as well, which is caused by a lack of iron.

On the flip side, athletes who already have high nutrition levels may not even experience an impact from this sort of supplement. That’s why it’s highly recommended for those athletes who have nutritional deficiencies or have to lose weight quickly for a competition.

Another popular PM-International is their standard “Fitness-Drink,” which is full of electrolytes for athletes. Because most of the drink’s calories come from fructose and dextrose, it’s more likely to produce a burst of energy due to its high amounts of sugar. Although this is great for a long-term training event, it’s not recommended for those who exercise on regular basis.

Besides this, PM-International promises to meet a mega athlete’s needs thanks to its scientific lab purity tests performed on its products. This is to test for things like “adulterants” that could keep an athlete from passing their drug test. In this case, there’s no such thing as being too careful, so each and every product is always labeled with a certification of purity just in case!

Can You Make Money With PM-International?

If you want to become an official distributor with PM-International, you’ve got to order at least 100 points of products, which adds up to about $170. At this point, you’ll receive a special discount code of 20% that you can use to earn profits from your followers.

However, to get more commissions, you have to work hard to become a managing marketer at PM-International. That means that you have to invest almost $700 dollars in products to achieve this prestigious level. On the other hand, selling nearly $700 of products will get you to the same stage.

Le-Vel Thrive Patch: A Review of Direct Selling Weight-Loss Patches

March 28, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Wouldn’t it be amazing to help others lose weight while earning a significant income? Well, that’s exactly the opportunity Le-Vel is offering their direct selling representatives.

Imagine the possibilities this business could offer you. Perhaps you want to leave your day job or buy a new car. Maybe you could take multiple holidays a year to recharge your batteries.

While this sounds like a fantastic work/life balance, is the company really telling you everything you need to know? Entrepreneurs love to take risks, but they need to be calculated.

Too many people lose their money by investing in businesses that turn out to be little more than pyramid schemes.

The financial damage can be devastating. You can also lose friendships if you encourage acquaintances to invest in the wrong business.

If you want to find out if selling weight loss patches with Le-Vel is a legitimate opportunity, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in and find out more.

Who Are Le-Vel?

Jason Camper and Paul Gravette are the company co-founders. The business has been in operation since 2012, and the owners boast of having over 40 years of industry experience between them.

Focused on the Health and Wellness sector, they claim to have more than 10 million customers. With over $2 billion in lifetime sales and 30 patents, they seem to have a solid corporate base.

The most eye-grabbing figure for entrepreneurs is that the company has paid out over $1 billion in commissions. If you’re thinking of becoming an independent direct seller, that’s going to get your interest.

The website is slick, and they’ve clearly put effort into their marketing. There is a whole section for the Thrive by Le-Vel products.

You can click through each product, and they are honest enough to state there is no guarantee of clients getting the desired results.

So far, so good. There is obviously an investment in the company, and they don’t make obviously false claims. However, when you look deeper, you may have some questions their website doesn’t answer.

Is the Business Legitimate?

Le-Vel claims you can make money through direct selling their weight-loss patches. This is a good sign. Many multilevel marketing (MLM) companies are little more than pyramid schemes.

This is because you can only make money by recruiting other people. Le-Vel makes it clear they have a marketable product, and they will pay you for selling it. This means they are a legitimate business.

However, this fact doesn’t mean they are offering you a good opportunity. You need to decide if the product provides real results. Weight loss products have a poor reputation in the marketplace.

You need to consider if you would buy this weight loss patch yourself. If not, then selling Le-Vel products to others is going to be difficult. There is also a disclosure on the website which is concerning.

They admit the Le-Vel MLM statements on their website have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This can make it harder to convince someone the product you are selling them is safe.

Le-Vel’s MLM Model

MLM marketing companies offer independent direct sales representatives two ways to make money. The first method is to sell the product directly to customers.

However, it can be difficult to find customers without an advertising budget. You could even lose money investing in marketing and not getting a good return.

Many people try to sell without advertising by appealing to friends and family. You’ll probably make a few sales, but this is not a good approach. People may resent being asked to buy products they don’t want or need.

These buyers will also not be long-term customers.

If you’d prefer not to sell directly to consumers, you could try the second money-making method. This technique requires you to recruit your own team of sales staff.

They are also independent sellers, but you get a cut from each sale they make. This is because you recruited them into the business. The problem with this approach is that your recruits may not be good at sales.

You might spend a lot of time helping them learn the ropes, only to find they leave the company after a fortnight.

These reasons are why MLM companies often get a bad reputation. This is not always deserved, as many are excellent businesses. However, there are other more effective ways to earn a substantial online income.

The Affiliate Marketing Opportunity

Affiliate marketing involves selling a product that belongs to someone else for a commission. It is different from MLM marketing because you can build a business and scale it to make exceptional profits.

You can own your audience, build an email list, and allow customers to see your personality. When you create content, you can profit from it many times over.

You can write engaging blog posts or make videos that showcase the product’s best features. When you’ve done this once, you can be making sales from that one content piece for years to come.

You can also repurpose content. If you write a blog, why not turn it into a podcast? You could do an interview with a customer and make it into an article that you can publish in online magazines.

The possibilities are endless. However, many people fail to make money with affiliate marketing. This is because they jump into the business without knowing the crucial marketing tips to make their venture a success.

Affiliate marketing has been around for many years. But it constantly evolves. It’s vital to have a mentor who can guide you and help you become profitable.

There is no easy way to establish a successful business. But listening to advice from people who have made huge profits is invaluable.

Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing: An Introduction Course to Affiliate Marketing

March 22, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Have you decided to jump into affiliate marketing but aren’t making as much money as you hoped?

Luckily for you, some courses can help teach you the ins and outs of affiliate marketing and how you can get into a niche you love. Yet, you’ll find these courses can be a bit pricey. It can be intimidating investing the money without a guaranteed outcome.

One course that has helped many affiliate marketers become successful is “Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing” by Michelle Schroeder. We’re here to give you an honest review of the course to see if it is worth the investment.

Be sure to keep reading for our guide on the introductory course “Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing” and learn everything you need to know.

Perfect for Beginners

If you’re reading this article and still asking, “What is affiliate marketing?” The course designed by Michelle Schroeder is perfect for you. You’ll find that she goes through several affiliate marketing skills that newcomers will need to know to get started.

Yet, if you already have your blog up and running, this course can work in your favor too. Michelle works to help you find mistakes you may have made and can help find the best way to fix them.

The course doesn’t have crazy advanced techniques, which is why beginners will find it easy to learn and understand. Even if you already know a thing or two about affiliate marketing, this course can help to teach you things in a new light. You might begin to understand things on a new level, which can help to make you more money.

Little to No Videos

In 2021, the majority of us love learning through video and find it much more engaging. Yet, within this affiliate marketing course, you will find that there are no videos. Most of the course is text-based learning which means you will have to read to get your information.

That’s because the content for affiliate marketing is always being changed and updated. The way the course is designed will help you understand the basics and how you can get started. If there were video components, it would need to be updated too frequently and wouldn’t be as helpful.

The course does get updated sometimes, and Michelle did add a few video elements as well. You’ll find a bonus video all about Pinterest, which can be very helpful for affiliate marketing.

A course with no videos can be a pro or a con depending on how you like to learn. Some people like the ability to scan the content for information instead of having to sit through a video to learn. There are also tons of screenshots that can help you learn.

Find the Right Affiliate Programs

One affiliate marketing strategy you will learn from this course is finding the right programs for your niche. You’ll find that the course breaks down and lists programs you can join for your particular niche.

A list like this can be extremely helpful because you won’t have to do any of the research on your own. You will already know which programs pay you a good commission and can fit with the products you want to recommend to your target audience.

Michelle also helps walk you through the best times to apply to these programs. You’ll find that sometimes it is better to apply to programs when you have a bigger following and more traffic to your website so you can maximize your revenue.

You’ll Learn to Work Smart and Not Hard

Learning marketing skills and setting up your blog is going to take some time and dedication. Yet, one thing Michelle teaches you is how to work smart and not hard.

Michelle doesn’t advise you to put links all over your site. Instead, you’ll want to wait for a post to go viral and gain attention before adding affiliate links. Not adding links everywhere can save you a lot of time in the long run.

Another thing she recommends is being selective with what you advertise to your target audience. Why waste your time advertising products that won’t capture their attention?

Instead, use your time to advertise products that they can actually use and find the benefit in. Doing this is a great way to build readership and make your blog not feel like one big advertisement. You will only add links when necessary and only recommend products that your audience can use.

In the end, you’ll be saving yourself and your audience time when you work smarter, not harder.

Is It Worth the Investment?

As we mentioned earlier, it is always difficult for some people to sign up for courses like this because they’re an investment. You might be thinking, “I don’t have the money right now.”

The course costs around $200 in total. Yet, you will be getting tons of tips and tricks on how to start making so much money.

Essentially, you’ll be signing up for a money-making guide when buying the course. That means if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, you’ll be able to make the money back you’ve invested into the course and so much more.

If you’ve learned anything from our affiliate marketing course review, the answer is yes. The course “Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing” is worth the investment as long as you’re ready to put in the work it takes to start your blog and target your audience.

The Best Ways of Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing

Making sense of affiliate marketing can come with time and practice. You’ll find that the deeper you dive into the subject, the more you will start to understand it and be able to grasp it for yourself.

If you enjoyed learning about the course “Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing,” you’re going to love our free online web class, which will walk you through the best ways to earn money online from the comfort of your own home.

Juice Plus: Everything You Need to Know Before Getting Started

March 22, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Do you love to live a healthy lifestyle and want to share that love with your friends and family? Do you spend your days wondering how you can make some extra money on the side? Or do you wish to turn that side hustle into a full-time gig so you can quit your day job and leave the 9-5 behind forever?

If so, then you’ve probably considered some sort of MLM program. Likely one of your friends is encouraging you to start with them, which is what brought you to this review. Don’t worry, you’re in the right place, we’re going to show you what Juice Plus is and if it can help you make enough money to live the life you’ve always wanted.

What Is Juice Plus?

Juice Plus offers an alternative to eating all the fruits and vegetables every day that the scientists recommend. We all know that it can be difficult to consume as many nutritious foods each day that we’re supposed to. And Juice Plus products supposedly fill the gap between what you’re actually eating and what you should be eating.

You can choose between shakes, capsules, or even health bars to get the nutrients you need to be healthier. As a Juice Plus consultant, you’ll pre-purchase the products and then sell them to your friends and family.

There are many health claims made by the Juice Plus company. And while many aren’t validated by scientific studies, it’s plain that adding more nutrients to your daily diet won’t hurt you. However, as you promote anything in the health niche, be careful how many promises or benefits you claim that your product offers to your customers.

Can You Make Money With Juice Plus?

If you’re a great salesperson, and you have hundreds of friends and family willing to spend hundreds of dollars with you, then yes you could potentially make money with Juice Plus. As an MLM program, you’ll be pressured by your representative to build your team.

As with most direct sales companies, you don’t make the majority of your money through directly selling the products. Instead, the people making the most money in these companies are usually the ones with the largest teams. These people then collect a small commission based on how many products their downline orders.

An Alternative to This Supplement MLM Program

Sharing nutritional foods and supplements is a noble profession. And so, if you’re still interested in making money by sharing great products that can help people live a healthy and fulfilling life, then consider affiliate marketing instead.

Affiliate marketing is a business model that entails sharing other people’s products with your audience. And then you get to collect a small commission each time someone clicks on your link to purchase that product. This can be a great way to make money without needing to create your own products or carry any inventory.

Stop making large inventory purchases hoping you’ll sell it all and make a profit. Instead, let someone else worry about storing, shipping, and selling products. As an affiliate marketer, your job is to find great products and then share them with your audience.

Find a Program or Product

The first step in affiliate marketing is to find great products that you want to share with your audience. There are hundreds of great products in the food and supplement niche. This is a great niche to enter if you love health and nutrition.

First, look at what you’re already using. Go to their websites and see if they have an affiliate program, if so, then sign up and start telling your friends all about it.

The great thing about this model is that you don’t have to spend any money upfront or meet with people in person. Simply hop online and shart sharing all about your favorite products using your affiliate links.

Promote Your Affiliate Product

You can start a website dedicated to educating your audience about food and nutrition. Or, you can take advantage of the many social media platforms available. You can even start your own YouTube channel or podcast, create IGTV or TikTok videos.

The options are endless. You can get started right away promoting products and programs immediately. But the key is to get started and don’t stop sharing about the amazing products available to your audience.

People every day are selling products they love on social media sites and making money, even without spending anything on ads or buying products upfront.

Collect the Commission

Each time you share your link and someone uses it to buy the product or program, you earn a small commission. Added up over time you can make enough money to change your life and your lifestyle, So, if you’re ready to start saving up for a much-needed vacation, or if you want to quit your day job forever, affiliate marketing allows you the freedom to start dreaming again.

If you’re looking for an MLM option to share a nutritious supplement program, then Juice plus is a good option. However, if you’re looking for an easier way to make money online by sharing amazing nutrition and supplement products, then affiliate marketing is a better option for you.

Yes, You Can Make Money Sharing Health Supplements Online

Finding the best affiliate program in the nutrition and supplement niche is only the start (Juice Plus is one of many). Knowing how to get targeted traffic and then converting that traffic into an avalanche of sales is where the magic (and profit) happens.

Take advantage of our free web class where you’ll discover my top-ranked business model that you can launch online, even as a beginner affiliate marketer.

Shaklee Review: Are These Supplements Healthy Business?

March 22, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

The future of the global wellness supplements market is expected to have tremendous growth between 2020 and 2027. Data Bridge Market Research predicts it to grow by 6.45% in this period.

One of those businesses expected to profit and grow is Shaklee Corporation, which deals in a collection of products for a wide range of issues.

The company claims that its products surpass U.S. standards with over 100 patents and patents pending. They also have over 100 published scientific papers supporting their research.

Shaklee products are available through their website, but their main business model is that of an MLM, multi-level marketing.

Distributors sign up to receive everything they need to sell and launch an online storefront. They are then said to stack up earnings and build a healthier community.

But is this a business worth your attention, and how effective are their products? Keep reading to find out.

What Is Shaklee?

Shaklee is a nutritional company that creates nutrition supplements, weight-management products, and more. They sell their products using an MLM marketing method.

Dr. Shaklee founded the company in 1956 with a focus on distributing food supplements.

According to their website, a study by UC Berkeley researchers found their products to lower cholesterol ratios and triglycerides, as well as lower long-term biological stress. They also claim to be the first company to be certified Climate Neutral.

A significant amount of research has been done to eliminate different contaminants and ensure pure and potent ingredients are used in their products.

Shaklee Products

Shaklee began with a focus on nutritional supplements. Now, their online shop has categories for nutrition, healthy weight, beauty, sports, and green home products. They also offer monthly nutritional supplement packages personalized to your specific needs.

Shaklee Vitamins and Nutrition Supplements

Among their various nutritional supplements, you can also find nutrition regiment sets and protein shakes. For example, their greens options include the Organic Greens Booster, FlavoMax, and an Alfalfa Complex.

The Organic Greens Booster is a powder supplement that promises raw, organic, nutrient-rich green vegetables with every scoop. Their FlavoMax capsules use antioxidants to protect your body from cellular damage. And the Alfalfa Complex provides a variety of vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll.

Despite their promises, multivitamins and the like have a mixed reputation among researchers.

In one study of 450,000 people, researchers found that multivitamins did not reduce the risk for heart disease or cancer. A separate study found it also did nothing to prevent mental decline.

Weight-Management Products

Shaklee’s weight-management products include a mix of protein shakes, teas, supplements, and meal bars.

The Shaklee 180 Turnaround Kit promises to provide everything you need to reach and maintain a healthy weight. It has everything you need for four weeks, as well as online support tools.

This program alone is said to have helped customers lose over 2 million pounds, according to sales and expected weight loss.

Beauty Products

YOUTH is the name given to all of Shaklee’s beauty products, which include makeup, face lotions, and hair treatments. Their 4-step anti-aging regimen package uses a variety of Youth complexes to help renew your skin.

Shaklee promises safety and purity in all of its ingredients. As such, they’ve banned over 2,500 ingredients in the production of their skincare products.

Household Products

Shaklee’s product line also includes basic household products made with safe, sustainable ingredients. You can find liquid detergent, water filtration devices, and more.

Selling Strategy

As a distributor, you’re promised daily payments and no inventory management. You’ll also have access to digital tools and training, and a support network.

Their compensation plan rewards you based on how well you’re doing. You can earn daily bonuses, and your monthly payment is determined by your customer product purchases and team activity. A loyalty bonus of up to $1,500 a month can also be added on top of what you normally earn.

Although MLM companies are often seen as pyramid schemes, there are some that have proven themselves a worthy investment. Avon, for example,

Some MLM companies have proved successful in the past. Avon, for example, has an established history going back over a hundred years. With a low startup fee and a well-recognized name, you can’t go wrong with buying into their company if you want to try your hand at distribution.

Meanwhile, Herbalife is very much the opposite.

Many of their supplements are more expensive than the generic supplements you can find in your local pharmacy. As a result of those prices, most people who distribute for them don’t make their money back.

Shaklee benefits from its clinical approach to ensuring the quality of its ingredients and products. They promote a healthier lifestyle, and their packages make it easy for new customers to try them out and for distributors to sell.

Some of their best-selling products include the Prove It Challenge and Vitalizer Gold. The Prove It Challenge package includes shakes, a vitalizer, and a 7-day cleanse all for $159 for your first purchase. Vitalizer Gold, meanwhile, is a 30-day supply of dietary supplements that retails for $103.

Whether or not you’ll make a big profit depends on how well you network in your community and make use of Shaklee’s existing online support network.

Becoming a Healthy Marketer

Buying into an MLM company is always a risk. Recruiters will sell you on the concept because there’s an incentive for them to do so. And even if Shaklee products normally sell well, you may find yourself at a disadvantage for a number of reasons. For example, you may not be as good a marketer as you thought you’d be.

Youngevity Review: How Much Money Can I Expect to Make?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Youngevity was founded back in 1997 by Joel Wallach and is making headlines again for its soon-to-be-announced product line that includes CBD products. It’s no secret that CBD is a money-maker right now–but is Youngevity?

Youngevity claims that using its products can help prevent or treat a number of serious physical ailments. Youngevity sellers also make claims that by selling those products, you can unlock financial freedom like never before.

The question is, how much money can Youngevity sellers really expect to make? Your ability to make money online is our number one priority, which is why we’re bringing you this detailed Youngevity review.

Read on to learn everything you need to know about selling for this company.

What Is Youngevity?

Youngevity is a wellness and lifestyle company that uses the MLM model to sell its extensive product line. Founder Joel Wallach prefers the term “doctor,” although it is worth noting that his medical background is in veterinary science. Wallach has studied the health benefits of trace minerals like selenium and those minerals are at the forefront of Youngevity’s product lines.

In addition to supplements and drinks that contain minerals, Youngevity also sells shakes, detoxes, coffee products, and other products designed to boost consumers’ health. They also sell “nutritional packs” and diet programs.

One thing that’s worth mentioning is that Youngevity may expect sellers to make claims about their products that are unsubstantiated. Most (if not all) of these products are not FDA-approved in part because they have not undergone the kind of testing the FDA requires. That being said, the products are unlikely to be harmful–they just won’t have the healing powers you may see some affiliates claiming they have.

How Much Do You Have to Invest to Sell for Youngevity?

Most MLMs require that affiliated marketers invest a certain amount of money in order to start selling their products. The idea is that MLMs allow you to make a set investment to then operate sales as if you are running an independent business. Youngevity is no exception to this rule.

To be a Youngevity Distributor (the lowest tier of their sales team), you will be expected to pay an annual fee of $49.95. At this level, you are able to purchase products for your own use (or for sales demonstrations) at wholesale prices as well as qualify for the occasional free product. You will also be able to start selling products in order to make a commission.

Alternatively, you can dive into Youngevity’s selling opportunities by paying a price of $499 for what they call their CEO Combo Mega Pak. This gets you a wide variety of products for potential customers to sample. Once you buy in, you are able to then purchase other Mega Paks that focus on a specific line of products if you’re looking for a more niche business experience.

How Much Money Can You Make Selling for Youngevity?

Interestingly enough, it’s almost impossible to say how much money you can make selling for Youngevity. Why is this the case?

For starters, most MLMs release an annual income disclosure form. This will usually breakdown the average annual income of sellers at each level, as well as the percentage of sellers that are making that amount of money. (What we tend to find when we look at these income disclosure forms is that the vast majority of affiliated marketers aren’t making more than a few hundred dollars per year, while less than 1% are bringing in the kind of cash you can truly live on.)

Youngevity does not provide this kind of income disclosure. Instead, they release the facts and figures about how much the company is worth, something it focuses on because the company is a publicly-traded penny stock.

It is also difficult to estimate your possible Youngevity income because the compensation plan they provide on their own website is almost indecipherable. Rather than listing clear commission rates that you’d receive for your own sales as well as the sales made by affiliates in your downstream, Youngevity uses a points system. It also offers incentives in the form of bonuses, which you can receive for hitting a certain number of sales in a set period of time.

If we’re being completely honest, not being able to track down this kind of information through the Youngevity website isn’t a great look.

What Do You Need to Know to Make the Most of Your Youngevity Affiliation?

Although you may not be able to get rich quick selling Youngevity products, it’s not a total bust to sell for them. If you’re interested in learning more about the health and wellness industry, it may be a worthwhile place to start.

In the end, what you’ll need to build any successful online business is marketing skills. MLMs tend to make you think that selling their products is as simple as reaching out to friends and family. However, when you’re only reaching out to the people you know, you’re limiting yourself to a very small and quickly saturated market.

Legendary Marketer Is Here to Help

How can you build the marketing skills that you need to make the most of your experience with Youngevity or any other MLM? Fortunately, you don’t need to go to school or enroll in expensive certification courses. Instead, you can find the information you need in the same place where you want to start your own business: online.

Pure Romance MLM Review: How Much Money Could I Make?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

In 2017, Pure Romance had over 23,000 active consultants across the US and beyond selling a variety of intimacy products. According to President and CEO Chris Cicchinelli, all you need to know to strike gold with the Pure Romance MLM is how to tell a story.

The reality is that making money with any MLM requires more than just story-telling. In the end, making enough money to pad your bank account isn’t going to be as easy as it sounds.

So, how much can you feasibly make selling Pure Romance products? How does this company operate and what are some of the methods you can use to boost your income?

As always, we at Legendary Marketer are seeking the best and most valuable information for anyone looking to start a successful online business. Read on to learn everything you need to know in this Pure Romance MLM review.

What Is Pure Romance?

Pure Romance is an MLM that was founded in 1993 in Ohio. The objective of Pure Romance is to provide adult sex education to consumers and give them the tools to enhance their relationships and boost intimacy in their day-to-day lives. Pure Romance does sell things like beauty products, but their claim to fame is an ever-expanding line of adult intimacy toys and devices.

Briefly, let’s look at why Pure Romance does qualify as an MLM and not a pyramid scheme. While affiliated sellers are encouraged to build up a downstream to increase their income, there are actual products for sale. That means that sellers don’t have to worry about bringing on new sellers in order to make money–if they know how to sell products at a steady, rapid rate.

In the end, you’re always better off mastering both the art of selling MLM products and the art of building your downstream. Let’s take a look at how much you stand to make if you’re able to do both.

How Much Are Most People Making Selling for the Pure Romance MLM?

So, this is where things get a little bit unpleasant. Pure Romance provides an annual income disclosure in order to maintain transparency. Given how many people still sign up to sell for Pure Romance without the skillset to build an online business, you have to wonder how many people actually look at this income disclosure.

For starters, 49.2% of last year’s sellers wound up falling under the “inactive” category. This is probably because Pure Romance requires all sellers (which they refer to as consultants) to purchase at least $200 worth of products every two months in order to remain active. This is what we sometimes call the “pay to play” method, and it’s not ideal for anyone who isn’t experienced with MLMs.

The second-largest group selling for Pure Romance are consultants, which is the lowest level of sellers in the Pure Romance ranks. Consultants make up 42.1% of Pure Romance’s massive team, and they’re making an average of $204 per year. Whether or not that’s adjusted to reflect the $1,200 consultants would have to pay each year to remain active, we’re not sure.

Why Is It Difficult to Make Big Bucks Selling for Pure Romance?

Why is it that the vast majority of Pure Romance consultants have either dropped out of the game or make a measly $204 a year? There are a lot of factors at play that are operating against any affiliated seller and making that “get rich quick” dream, well, a dream.

Market saturation is one of the biggest obstacles for any MLM, especially one that has been around for several decades. You may start hosting Pure Romance parties only to discover that your friends have already heard of them, already purchased their products, or already tried selling those products, themselves. In other words, it may be difficult to track down interested parties, especially if you’re only calling on your inner circle.

We mentioned earlier that you can make money without building a downstream, but it’s worth noting that building a downstream has some serious benefits. Not only do you stand to make money off of the sales your downstream is responsible for, but your commission rates will go up.

Pure Romance offers a 40% commission rate for consultants, but that rate rises to about 50% for advanced and senior consultants. Rising in rank requires you to build a downstream. Without anyone selling under you, you’ll have to work twice as hard for a fraction of the payout.

What Skills Do You Need to Succeed at Selling for Pure Romance?

One thing we hear again and again is that affiliated marketers are hoping to turn their MLM ties into a relatively passive income. This is possible down the line, but it’s going to take some serious work upfront.

Chris Cicchinelli wasn’t entirely wrong in saying that to sell Pure Romance products, you’ll need to know how to tell a story. After all, marketing is the process of telling (and selling) a story and telling it so well that it connects with a wide audience.

However, what you also need to know is how and where to tell that story. You need to know how to use your online presence to build a relationship with millions of people across the country (and the world). Once you master that art, you can start building your downstream and selling products through your affiliate links with minimal effort.

Learn How to Market Like a Pro

We hope that this Pure Romance MLM review has given you some insight into the hurtles affiliate marketers often face when they join ranks with any MLM. Now, we’re here to tell you what to do about it.

If you want to build that online business and boost your passive income, you’ve come to the right place. Check out our this free video. In it, you’ll learn how to launch an online business, how to ditch those low-ticket items that aren’t building your fortune, and how to rely on only high-ticket business models from here on out.

WorldVentures MLM Review: Can I Actually Get Paid to Go on Vacation?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Do you dream of being a professional traveler? Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, travel is in huge demand — already in 2021, there have been over one million TSA checkpoints. This still makes travel a very profitable and buzzing industry.

Does getting paid to vacation sound like it’s too good to be true? While you can achieve your travel career goals with affiliate marketing, many travel MLM companies are quick to promise amazing vacations with hefty pay.

The WorldVentures MLM is a great example. Their social media marketing campaign with the “You Should Be Here” signs is an easy way to draw in representatives. But should you trust this company? Here’s our review.

Who Is WorldVentures Actually Targeting?

Most MLMs target the same audience: disgruntled employees who want to be their own bosses, stay-at-home moms, and others who need extra income.

Instead, WorldVentures is targeting a new age of nomads — those who dream of travel but can’t afford it. They promise an opportunity to make money while they travel.

Things You Should Know About WorldVentures Before Joining

One of the reasons many people join WorldVentures is they promise many great perks. But are these trustworthy? Here are the benefits they advertise and the harsh reality.

Not a Great Volunteering Opportunity

Did you know that 81% of international travelers actually volunteer? Voluntourism is boosting in popularity. You get to see the world and give back to a community in need.

WorldVentures promises this, too. They even have the WorldVentures Foundation that focuses on giving back to communities in need. However, their website is no longer working, so it’s unclear whether or not they’re still pursuing this organization.

Keep in mind, voluntourism may do more harm than good.

First, voluntourism companies like WorldVentures don’t onboard volunteers based on skill, they onboard based on whoever is willing to do the work. Communities may need individuals with specific skills and resources. Even worse, volunteers may take up jobs that locals can do. This is even worse if locals have the required skills for the job.

Most of these trips are also short-term and there’s no commitment to the job, which means its volunteers won’t make a lasting impact.

Last but not least, this often leads to the “white savior complex,” which is the belief that countries in need will only receive help from first-world countries instead of using their own means to build their community.

While this isn’t always the case, it’s best to lead first-world country volunteerism to those with the required skills and necessary resources that the local communities can’t receive themselves.

Declining Growth

Do a quick Google search on a term such as “WorldVentures growth” and you’ll find an array of articles, claiming WorldVentures is a leading travel company, that they have hundreds of thousands of representatives, and operate in multiple countries. While many of these claims are true, there’s also a dark side hidden behind the “You Should Be Here” signs.

For example, they voluntarily filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy at the end of 2020. According to this article, the company took a massive hit due to travel restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Not-So-Luxurious Travel Packages

Another one of the reasons why WorldVentures attracted an audience is the luxurious travel packages they offer. From sunny destinations like Mexico to five-star resorts around the world, WorldVentures representatives became the envy of their friends and family.

Like all things in life, nothing comes free — including these amazing vacations. In order to join, you have to purchase their membership. To earn those luxury trips, you sell their travel packages and earn points. You can use those points toward your travel. We’ll cover more of this in the next section.

Seem easy? Well, you have to do a lot of hustling to travel. That means selling the membership to your family, friends, and others.

Most people will benefit from just purchasing their own luxury vacation without the extra work.

More Expensive Than You Think

So, what is the WorldVentures cost? This depends on the package you purchase. The basic package is $200 while the luxurious package is $1,000. Not only that, but there’s a monthly membership fee that ranges from $20-$100.

In addition to these fees, there’s an additional $30 monthly fee that covers website maintenance, training programs, marketing tools, and more.

You can get your monthly fee waived if you elevate your status. However, you won’t start earning commission until you hit Senior Representative Status, which you can’t achieve unless you have 30 representatives below you.

It’s very unlikely representatives can make a WorldVentures profit. In fact, 85% of WorldVentures representatives earn no profit or operate at a loss.

In addition, there are other cheaper alternatives, such as travel agencies and comparison websites for flights, hotels, and more.

FAQs About WorldVentures

After reading the previous sections, you may be thinking twice about signing up for WorldVentures. But prospects tend to have these questions. Read through these FAQs before making your decision.

Why Is WorldVentures So Popular?

Even during a global pandemic, 70% of consumers want to take a vacation this year. People want to travel — and not just travel locally, but travel internationally.

WorldVentures promises an opportunity to get paid to travel. However, you’re likely spending money on a membership that can be used toward your travels.

What Does WorldVentures Sell?

They sell discount vacation and travel services. To be a representative, you’ll also have to pay fees that include a website, training, and marketing materials.

WorldVentures Scam?

Even though WorldVentures is a legitimate company, many of its offerings are eerily similar to a pyramid scheme. This means there’s not much of a chance to make money from this company, based on the fees and the requirement to onboard other representatives.

Has WorldVentures Experienced Legal Issues?

A trend with MLM companies is the myriad of legal issues they face. WorldVentures has been in its fair share of trouble. By far the biggest legal obstacle they had was being banned in Norway due to operating as a pyramid scheme.

Affiliate Marketing Is a Better Alternative to the WorldVentures MLM

After reading our WorldVentures review, do you want a better opportunity to make money while traveling? Don’t trust the WorldVentures MLM. Instead, look into affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is simple to learn and comes with little overhead.

Plexus MLM Review: How Much Money Do Plexus Ambassadors Make?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Imagine being able to sell products online, drive a luxury car, and enjoy your life. Some company ambassadors claim the Plexus MLM opportunity can help you reach that goal.

You can work from wherever and whenever, so you can control your schedule. But before you sign up for Plexus, you should consider both sides of the story.

Read on to learn if Plexus is a scam or if it’s worth your time.

What Is Plexus?

Plexus is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells weight management products. The company also sells nutrition, skincare, and personal care products.

If you join the Plexus MLM opportunity as an ambassador, you can sell any of the products. Having a bit of variety can come in handy when you want to make money. But Plexus has made some ridiculous health claims without backing them up.

Cost to Join

As with many MLMs, you need to pay to join the program. Plexus charges an annual membership fee, and you can join in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand. The joining fee depends on where you live.

United States: 39.95 USD
Canada: 51.44 CAD
Mexico: 820 MXN
Australia: 62.95 AUS
New Zealand: 39.95 USD

You will also need to pay the same fee each year to maintain your status. The Plexus cost to join covers access to a website you can use to sell Plexus products. While the fee isn’t as large as some MLMs, you do have to keep up with the cost each year.

How to Earn

If you join the Plexus MLM opportunity, you can earn money in a few ways. First, you can earn a profit from the retail sales you make. You can also earn a bonus when selling to Preferred Customers.

Other options work similarly to other MLMs and require you to recruit people to your team. If a recruit buys the Plexus Welcome Pack, you can make a commission on that, and you can make commissions on their sales.

You can also earn Plexus points, which can translate to money based on how many points all Ambassadors earn in a month. However, you will only make money if you sell enough personal volume.

Can You Make Money With Plexus?

In 2019, Plexus Ambassadors earned an average of $677.99. Only about half a percent of Ambassadors earned more than $19,000 for the entire year. Roughly 5% of Ambassadors earned at least $1,360 for all of 2019.

While some Ambassadors may be able to make a lot of money, it’s unlikely. You would need to sell a lot of products or recruit a lot of people to make close to a living wage from Plexus.

Plexus MLM Pros

If you want to join Plexus, you should consider some of the benefits. While it has a lot of the same problems as other MLMs, it has unique advantages that you may not find elsewhere.

Here are a couple of pros to selling Plexus.

Relatively Cheap

Some MLMs charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars if you want to sell their products. At only $40 for US sellers, joining Plexus is surprisingly affordable.

Still, it does cost you money, unlike other options, like affiliate marketing. If you don’t want to pay anything to make money, affiliate marketing will be a better fit for you. However, Plexus isn’t as expensive as some MLMs.

That could also be an advantage if you want to add people to your team to increase your revenue.

Company Website

With Plexus, you don’t have to worry about setting up your own website to sell the products. After you sign up, you can create a unique website name, and you can direct potential customers and recruits to it.

Then, you can market your products to people you may not know in real life. If you have a sizable following on social media, this can be a great way to increase your sales. But it may not be as professional as setting up a site, which you would need if you want to sell other products.

Plexus MLM Cons

Before you pay the small joining fee, consider some of the cons. The Plexus cost shouldn’t distract you from the more problematic parts of the company.

Here are a few reasons to avoid joining Plexus.

Low Income Potential

Reviewing the Plexus income disclosure can show you how hard it can be to make money with the company. The average annual income is $677.99, which is about $56.50 a month.

Many people in the company earn way less than that. And for those who earn more, many of them still don’t earn a full-time income. However, it can take a full-time schedule to sell enough products to earn anything.

If you want to work for yourself and on your schedule, affiliate marketing is probably a better option for you. Then, you can sell products you really love, and you don’t have to do as much work.

Government Warnings

As a weight management company, Plexus needs to follow strict rules for labels and when making claims. However, in 2020, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent a warning letter to the company regarding false claims the Ambassadors made online.

The Federal Drug Administration has also sent letters to Plexus after Plexus marketed some of its products as drugs. Australia has also posted a warning to consumers to stop taking products like the Plexus Slim Accelerator.

No Control

When you join Plexus, it can seem like you have full control over your work and income. You can set your schedule and sell what you want, but you don’t control the company.

If Plexus shuts down by choice or from the government forcing it to, you could lose your entire work. You would be better off focusing on creating your own business from scratch since you’ll have more control over everything.

Should You Join Plexus?

The Plexus MLM opportunity can seem appealing to many people. You can sell many products and use your website to sell to anyone in the world.

However, the company has a bad history when it comes to controlling claims. And as with other MLMs, it can be almost impossible to make a profit when selling Plexus.

Younique MLM Review: Can I Make Money Working for Younique?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Have you thought about selling cosmetics online? Does joining the Younique MLM sound appealing? Before you find a sponsor and start selling, consider if Younique is worth the time and cost.

Then, you can make sure you won’t waste money on this new venture. And you can make as much money online as possible.

Keep reading to learn if you should join Younique.

What Is Younique?

The Younique MLM is a multi-level marketing company that sells makeup and skincare products. It has been around since 2012, and the company offers a lot of different products that you can sell.

As a presenter, you can sell products to your friends and family, or you can sell online. You’ll get an online portal where you can list products. You can then make money from home and on your schedule.

Younique aims to empower women to earn money, and it offers resources to help you start selling the product.

How to Join

Because Younique is an MLM, you will need someone to sponsor you to join. If you don’t know any Younique presenters, the company can set you up with one.

Then, you’ll need to pay about $99 for your starter kit. As you wait for the starter kit to get to you, you can go through the Youniversity Training program to learn about business and marketing.

When you sign up, you’ll also get a personal website with an eCommerce store so that you can start selling.

Getting Paid

One thing that sets Younique apart from other MLMs is that they can pay you the same day you make a sale. You can receive your royalty payments a few hours after a sale occurs. After you make $50, Younique will send you a prepaid card you can use to spend your money.

You can also use Rewards Links to earn points when people click on those links to your website. When your link reaches 200 points, you can earn 10% of each sale in the form of Y-CASH. Then, you can use the cash for product discounts.

While this payment structure is like an affiliate program, you will need to recruit others to make a lot of money. Then, you can earn royalties on your sales as well as sales your recruits make.

The Younique Foundation

On the surface, the Younique Foundation sounds like an excellent part of the company, and it would be a great reason to choose this company over others. Most MLMs want to maximize profit so wouldn’t set up a foundation.

The Younique Foundation claims to help victims of sexual assault with special retreats. However, the retreats are very exclusive and are only open to women who were victims of sexual assault as children.

Unfortunately, less than 1% of Younique profit goes to the charity. While this charity doesn’t affect your ability to make money with Younique, it’s something to consider if you want to make money while helping others.

Pros of the Younique MLM

If you want to help sexual assault victims or simply make money from home, Younique may be a good option for you. It works more like an affiliate program when you compare it to other MLMs.

Here are a couple of advantages of Younique.

Good Products

If you want access to a wide range of products, Younique may be the company for you. You can start selling the products you want, so you can focus on what you like or what your friends and followers like.

That will make it easier to promote your eCommerce store and make a few sales. Many customers love Younique products, so you also use those reviews to help sell products.

Easy to Start

Another benefit of Younique is that they make it easy to start selling. You can create your website as soon as you sign up, even before you get your distributor kit.

The company also offers training to help you learn about business and marketing, so you don’t have to be an expert. And you can do all of this from home.

Cons of the Younique MLM

While Younique offers benefits you won’t find with other MLMs, they aren’t the best option for everyone. It can be hard to sell some of the products, especially if you don’t have a huge audience.

Consider a few reasons why you shouldn’t sell Younique.

Low Earning Potential

Unfortunately, Younique doesn’t publish an income disclosure statement like other MLMs. Because of this, it can be hard to know how much you can expect to make when you sign up.

However, you can use numbers from MLMs in general. Overall, odds are you won’t make a ton of money if you even make any profits.

You will need to spend money on products if you don’t make any sales in a few months. And you won’t be able to make much without a ton of sales or recruiting other sellers.

Expensive

The product prices can make it hard to get sales and recruit other sellers. Some Younique products are three times more expensive than their equivalents from other brands. That can make it hard to convince others the products are worth it.

It’s also expensive for you and any recruits to stay active. If you don’t sell at least $125 worth of product every 3 months, you will have to buy that much.

Emphasis on Recruiting

As with other MLMs, Younique wants presenters to recruit new people. Not only will that help you make more money, but it will also increase the Younique profit margin.

However, recruiting people can make it harder for you to get sales because of more competition. If you don’t have a big following online, it can be hard to find recruits outside of your friends and family.

When you recruit people you know, you’ll have to compete with them for customers.

Is Younique Worth It?

The Younique MLM opportunity can sound appealing to a lot of people. You can make money from home, have your own website, and even help other women.

However, the Younique cost to join and stay active, as well as the recruiting focus, can make it hard. While you may make some money, you may not be profitable.

Scentsy MLM Review: Is It Worth My Time to Sell Candles and Lotions?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Thinking of selling candles and lotions for the Scentsy MLM as an at-home business opportunity? You’re not alone—but how successful can you really be with this business?

I’ve got all the info you need to consider before getting started with Scentsy, and how the skills you could apply there in network marketing can help you soar as your own boss.

In addition, I’ve got insider info about the best work-from-home-online opportunities and how you can get started.

My Review of Scentsy

Scentsy is a network marketing or multi-level marketing (MLM) company that focuses on selling fragrance-based items like waxes, wickless candles, wax warmers, essential oils, diffusers, laundry and cleaning products, lotions, and more.

Scentsy consultants join to sell these products to their friends, family, and acquaintances via network marketing.

How Do Consultants Get Started?

Like most MLM setups, Scentsy consultants start by buying some products in a starter kit. This gives them a few options to try out for themselves or start selling to their customers.

When consultants sign-up, they can search for the person who recruited them during the process. Being part of someone’s “downline” theoretically offers mentoring opportunities.

After being part of the downline, they can then purchase the $99 starter kit. This includes products like a mini fan diffuser, hand soap, sample bundles, fragrance testers, a Scentsy bar, and a wax warmer.

It also contains getting started materials like the Consultant Guide, seasonal catalogs, and invitation and thank you postcards for sending to clients.

During the sign-up process, consultants sign an agreement with Scentsy. They also can set up a personal website to sell their products from under the Scentsy domain.

With all that housekeeping out of the way, consultants can pay and wait for their first shipment to arrive.

Is the Scentsy MLM a Profitable Opportunity?

In multi-level marketing companies like Scentsy, you earn based on the products you sell plus a commission from the sales of anyone you have recruited.

In 2020, Scentsy released their most recent Income Disclosure Statement.

For 50,000+ consultants who had been working with Scentsy for a year or more at that time:

Minimal annual commissions were $121
Maximum annual commissions were $1,282,079
Average annual commissions were $2,901
Median annual commissions were $869

For the 135,000+ consultants who had been working with Scentsy for less than a year at that time:

Minimum annual commissions were $0
Maximum annual commissions were $34,933
Average annual commissions were $452
Median annual commissions were $203.

The key numbers here are the average and median commissions in both groups, which show that the vast majority of Scentsy consultants are making a Scentsy profit between $203 and $2901 a year.

Is Networking Marketing Your Best Bet?

Looking at these numbers—and building on my own personal experience in an MLM—probably not.

And here’s why. When it comes to marketing opportunities, network marketing is one of the hardest to break into and succeed at. They’re not really designed to make each member successful.

Instead, those who get in early and recruit downlines benefit from all of their sales. That’s where the majority of profits come from heavy-hitters in the MLM world.

Selling the products is a struggle for a couple of other reasons. First, your area may already be saturated in consultants. Think about how you got recruited. Is there a chance others nearby will also be recruited and fight you for territory? This limits the number of customers and future recruits for your own downline.

You may also struggle to sell such niche products to a narrow customer pool.

What Can I Learn From Network Marketing?

As someone who also once worked in network marketing, it’s a good base for basic marketing skills. It gives you skills in connecting with customers and problem-solving. You learn how to market your product as something that can help with their problems.

If these are skills that you already have and which attracted you to network marketing, it might be time to consider a different direction in marketing, like affiliate marketing.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is an all-around better way to make money online. You tap into the great marketing skills you’re already nurturing to help promote products. Connecting with customers and finding products and services that solve their problems are prime skills to take into affiliate marketing.

And you get to use these skills online, from home or wherever else you want, to have a legitimate business that is independent of anyone else’s inventory cost or downline demands. You get to take on a legitimate opportunity at little cost.

So How Do I Make Money from This?

You can turn affiliate marketing into a job by creating content that features promotable products. You probably see this all the time on Instagram, YouTube, or blogs.

A content creator reviews a product—like a new make-up palette—and they’ll say, “Click my link for 5% off.” Two things are happening here: 1) you really are getting 5% off the product, and 2) they’re getting a portion of your sale as a thank you for directing them to the seller.

Creating content is a low-investment business opportunity—unlike the Scentsy cost which can require you to purchase a lot of inventory before you see even the smallest profit. Many of the sites you can use to host your content like WordPress or TikTok are free or low-cost to get started.

You can review products at your own discretion, or you can even get signed up with some affiliate marketing programs that direct sellers who need content creators to promote their products.

Cutco Review: How Much Can I Make Selling Cutlery?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

David Sharpe bio

Since the founding of Cutco in 1949, over 1 million people have taken up the work of hosting informational parties and selling Cutco products. The fact that this company is able to stay in business for over 70 years and continues to sell products is impressive.

That being said you may have heard of the “Cutco scam” and wondered if this is a legitimate opportunity or another pyramid scheme that will leave you broke and frustrated.

In this Cutco review, we’ll talk about what the company is and how it works. We’ll also examine some of the challenges that come with trying to sell Cutco products and what you can do to boost your sales.

As always, Legendary Marketer is looking for ways to help online business owners improve their profits by employing the latest marketing techniques. Read on to find out how these techniques apply to Cutco and how much money you can actually stand to make as a Cutco sales rep.

What Is Cutco? Is It an MLM?

Cutco is a company that manufactures a variety of cutlery and then some. They are most famous for their kitchen knives, although they also sell other kinds of cooking utensils, eating utensils, and even knives that are designed for activities like fishing and hunting. Oh, and they also sell a pair of scissors that can cut through a penny.

Cutco is also the parent company of a group called Vector Marketing, which is responsible for the recruitment process. If you’ve ever received a phone call about becoming a Cutco sales rep, that call came from a Vector Marketing employee. There was a time when Vector Marketing was essentially the largest sales force for Cutco products, but they’ve now shifted to recruitment first and foremost.

Is Cutco an MLM?

A lot of people assume that direct sales and multi-level marketing (MLM) are synonymous. Usually, a company that utilizes direct sales is, in fact, an MLM.

However, in the case of Cutco, they use the direct sales model, in that individual sellers can opt in to start selling their products directly to consumers, but they are not an MLM. In order to qualify as an MLM, a company has to incentivize the process of bringing on new sellers, aka building a downstream. With Cutco, sales reps don’t get any sort of bonus or commission for bringing on new members to the Cutco salesforce–meaning that you can only earn money by selling their products.

The Perks of Working for Cutco

Vector Marketing (remember, Cutco’s recruitment team) tends to look for college students and other young people who may be hoping to earn some extra spending money. If you are one of these young people, you may find that working for a company like this is exactly what you’re looking for. You can set your own hours and only take on the amount of work that suits you, making it a very flexible job.

Plus, Cutco is one of the only companies of its kind to offer anything that resembles a wage. Most direct sales companies only pay you a commission rate on anything you sell as well as a bonus or additional commission rate for anyone you bring into your downstream. (As we mentioned earlier, Cutco pays a commission, but don’t expect any bonuses for trying to recruit your friends.)

How does this wage work? Cutco offers you an hourly rate (which seems to vary between $9 and $19, depending on where you live) for the presentations you give. Most presentations last about one hour, so that pay admittedly won’t get you very far.

Unveiling the Myth Behind the Products That “Sell Themselves”

The truth is that a lot of these perks are what you’ll be told when discussing your opportunity to join the Cutco team with a Vector Marketing rep. In fact, most of their claims about compensation–both on the phone and on their website–are vague. So, what’s the real deal when it comes to selling for Cutco?

It Would Take a Lot of Work to Make Real Money With Cutco

From what we can tell, Cutco offers an unusually low commission rate compared to similar companies. If you’re selling less than $1,000 of products, you’ll make a 10% commission (so, no more than $100). You’d have to sell over $24,000 products to start making a commission of 30% or more.

Now let’s talk about that hourly wage. Let’s say that you can make the highest amount, $19, off of a presentation. You’d have to do at least 6 presentations a week to make more than $100. What Cutco won’t compensate you for is the time you spend traveling to and from these presentations or the transportation money it takes to get you there.

In the end, making any real money with these products isn’t as simple as your Vector Marketing rep made it sound.

The Products Are Good But Your Marketing Skills Need to Be Better

One good thing about Cutco is that they’re selling quality, US-made products. Could you find similar products for a lower price? Yes, but they wouldn’t come with the Cutco lifetime guarantee, which is a big selling point for some consumers.

That being said, kitchenware doesn’t actually sell itself. You have to know how to put on a good show and tell a good story. You also need to know how to market your products to people other than your social circle, or you’ll run out of interested customers fast.

In the end, the best way to reach the widest market is to master online marketing skills. How do you make that happen?

As you can see from our Cutco review, Cutco isn’t a scam or a pyramid scheme. However, Cutco and Vector Marketing aren’t going to give you the skills you need to succeed.

Optavia MLM Review: Can I Make Money as a Consultant for Them?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Do you have a passion for health and wellness? Would you like to work with people to help them reach their goals? You can join the Optavia MLM opportunity and become a coach.

But before you do, consider how much it will cost and how much time you need. Then, you can determine if it’s the right fit for you.

Keep reading to learn more about the company and how it can make you money.

What Is Optavia?

Optavia is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company that sells meal replacements and other weight loss products. Its parent company is Medifast, which has been around since the 1980s.

The MLM focuses on more than just products, and it encourages people to change to healthy habits throughout their life. You can join as a coach and work with customers to help them achieve their health goals.

Cost to Join

You will need to pay $199.99 for a business kit to join Optavia. The business kit includes information about Optavia products, the Optavia Success System, and access to your own company website for a year.

After the first year, you will then need to pay for your website, or you will need to find another way to sell the products. The business kit should help you get started selling Optavia, and it’s not the most expensive MLM joining fee out there.

However, it can be expensive for a lot of people, unlike affiliate marketing and other online businesses. Joining won’t guarantee that you’ll make back your initial investment.

How to Earn

When adding any new income stream to your life, you should consider how it can make you money. As with other MLMs, you can earn money by selling Optavia products directly to customers. You can also earn money from commissions when you recruit other coaches.

Without recruiting anyone, you can earn commissions on your sales, and you can earn a bonus for bringing in consistent sales. Commissions range from 18% to 31%, and consistency bonuses are $250 to $1,000 if you maintain sales for a rolling quarter.

If you recruit other coaches, you can advance in the company ranks, and you can earn commissions when your recruits sell. The commission rates for team sales are much lower, but they can increase your income.

Can You Make Money?

While you can earn money in different ways through the Optavia MLM opportunity, most coaches don’t earn much. According to the company’s 2019 income disclosure, 21.66% of coaches didn’t earn anything that year.

Another 8.16% earned no more than $100 during those 12 months. Less than 1% of coaches earned more than $100,000 in 2019. And only 3.43% of coaches earned between $30,000 and $100,000 that year.

Using those numbers, less than 5% of coaches earned close to a living wage, assuming everyone works full-time on their Optavia sales. While you may make some money, odds are you won’t make enough to quit your job.

Optavia MLM Pros

When doing an Optavia review, you should consider the benefits of the company. While it’s not perfect, there are a couple of things that make it worth considering before you join.

Consider the pros before you write off Optavia from your list of income streams.

Team of Coaches

When you join Optavia, you have access to other coaches, so you can learn from them. You can ask questions and get feedback on everything from your marketing materials to your sales plan.

Coaches can support each other, and you don’t need to just work with the coach who sponsors you. Then, you can make sure you’re the best coach you can be for your frontline clients.

Return Policy

Another advantage of Optavia is that it offers a 30-day return policy. If you buy the business kit and realize that the business isn’t for you, you can return it for a refund within that first month.

Not only that, but you can use the return policy as a selling point for your future clients. Then, you may be able to convince more people to sign up if they know they can get their money back.

Optavia MLM Cons

While Optavia has some benefits, it is very similar to other MLMs. It has many of the same cons as those other companies, so you should think twice before signing up.

Here are a few disadvantages of Optavia.

Anyone Can Join

The fact that anyone can become a coach can sound like a good thing because there’s no barrier to entry. However, this means someone with no health or wellness experience can join.

The minimal joining requirements can make the company look less credible, especially if you do have a background in health and wellness. When selling to prospective customers, it can be hard to convince people to hire someone without industry experience.

It could affect your ability to gain clients, and it also means your competition pool can grow quickly. Whether you recruit others or not, you’ll have to fight more people for clients.

Low Earnings

You could spend all of your time on Optavia, but you may not make much money from it. MLM basics make it hard for anyone to make money in the company without recruiting.

Even if you do recruit, you’ll have to rely on your recruits working hard for you to make a significant income. If you want to be able to control your income, that can be stressful. You’d be better off creating your own online business. Then, you can control what you sell and how much you make.

Complex Ranking System

Most MLMs have some sort of ranking system to determine how much you can make in commissions. However, Optavia’s system is more complex than some other companies.

The company has a lot of ranks, and each rank has a couple of different requirements for you to reach it. As you advance, you will need more and more people under you to keep growing.

Should You Join Optavia?

Optavia sounds like a great online business opportunity with room for growth. However, the Optavia MLM structure makes it almost impossible for you to earn a good living.

Before you sign up for the company, consider if the small profit is worth the risk. And if it’s not, you can look for other ways to make money.

BeautyCounter MLM Review: Selling Skin Cream…for a Loss

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

The beauty industry will generate $863 billion by 2024. If you’re looking for a profitable MLM opportunity, you may have your eyes on the beauty industry.

Out of all of the beauty MLMs, the Beautycounter MLM has taken off. Beautycounter sells all essential beauty products, such as cosmetics, skincare, and haircare. They became popular for how they carefully screen their ingredients and they even offer a Clean Beauty line.

But from a seller’s point of view, is Beautycounter worth it? While there could be benefits, many sellers report that Beautycounter has a dark side under the beneficial skin creams and cosmetics. Here’s our review of the Beautycounter MLM.

Beautycounter Overview

Beautycounter was founded in 2013 by Gregg Renfrew. The brand stands by a belief that there should be a safe and natural alternative to other beauty products.

While many brands also hold this same ideal, Beautycounter stands out in many ways. Most brands have a niche, but Beautycounter sells all skincare, haircare, and makeup essentials. All of their products are marked as “clean” because they don’t contain dangerous ingredients, such as parabens and phthalates.

Why You Can’t Find Beautycounter at Your Beauty Retailer

When most beauty enthusiasts want to try a new brand, they usually fun to their local pharmacy, Sephora, Ulta, or online (if no local store carries their products).

However, can you find a Beautycounter product at one of these locations? There are only specific places to purchase Beautycounter products. These include:

Online
Beautycounter stores and seasonal pop-ups
Representatives

Unlike other MLM brands, there are different options for buyers to purchase their products. In other words, they don’t solely rely on their representatives for sales. This makes them appear less like a pyramid scheme and more like a brand that gives everyday people an opportunity to be their own boss.

But is that the reality? Like many MLMs, Beautycounter consultants go through a mentor. When they make a sale, the representative not only earns a commission but so does their mentor. In order for the mentor to make a profit, they have to onboard several salespeople.

Our Beautycounter Review: Pros and Cons

There are many benefits and disadvantages to using and selling Beautycounter. Here’s a breakdown of both.

Pros

Firstly, they have a vast product selection. From anti-aging skincare to makeup essentials, you can find everything at this brand. With that being said, using and selling their products is a perfect stepping stone for someone who’s new to the beauty industry.

Unlike many beauty brands, whose devotion to clean beauty doesn’t extend past their marketing campaigns, Beautycounter actually cares about clean beauty. So much so to where they’re lobbying in Washington about banning phthalates and other harmful ingredients from being used in beauty products.

Their products are of good quality. Sure, their products may not be as amazing as the products you buy from major retailers and luxury skincare brands (though Beautycounter cost is generally the same). But their products show results, even if they’re not completely amazing.

Cons

The biggest disadvantage of Beautycounter is their MLM — not just for the seller but also for the consumer.

First, let’s answer the most pressing question: can you succeed by selling Beautycounter products? One of the most important MLM basics is no, you can’t. When you start earning sales, you’ll be required to invest more money into the business.

But even if you don’t make significant monetary gains, this is still a great opportunity for those who want to work in the beauty industry, right? Well, you may want to find another opportunity.

While consultants are given education into the selling process, they’re not trained in essential product knowledge, such as ingredients used and which products are ideal for certain clients. Compare this to a competitor like Sephora, whose consultants undergo rigorous training.

As we saw in the previous section, Beautycounter is devoted to safe beauty products, going so far as to ban certain ingredients in Washington. Does that mean Beautycounter products are completely perfect?

Sure, they may not contain dangerous phthalates, carcinogens, and other harmful ingredients. But they’re not 100% natural. Their products do contain chemicals, but chemicals that do little-to-no damage to the body.

With that being said, sellers can invest their time into another company that sells better products, will provide the education and training that beauty professionals need, and doesn’t have an MLM setup.

An Insider’s Look Into the Beautycounter MLM

Beautycounter attracts consultants because they may appear to be different. They have excellent ideals and are pushing for change in the beauty community. But there are other ways to support brands that are making an impact without buying into an MLM.

First, there is a $98 enrollment kit. This kit includes products, sales materials, and even a personal website (only active for a year). You can also buy a Starter Set, which is optional. The Starter Set includes products to demonstrate, use, and sample.

In total, most new consultants spend $440 at the time of enrollment. The average monthly wage for a consultant is $46/month. It doesn’t take a math genius to there’s very little Beautycounter profit.

But can you earn more than the average rate? Of course. But you have to push and sell. In addition, you have to sell a certain amount within six months. If you don’t make your quota, you must either pay to continue being a consultant or leave.

Another Alternative to the Beautycounter MLM

Instead of buying into the Beautycounter MLM, you can switch to affiliate marketing. With affiliate marketing, you can promote beauty brands you love while being your own boss.

Legalshield MLM Review: Affordable Legal Help, or Marketing Ploy?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Did you find the LegalShield MLM while searching for unique home business opportunities?

When comparing it to typical multi-level marketing or network marketing companies, LegalShield definitely is unique because instead of selling products like skincare or health supplements, it sells pre-paid legal services.

If you’re looking for a business opportunity that doesn’t require you to manage inventory, LegalShield could be it.

But how successful can you really be selling legal services as an independent associate? And is there a better way to earn money online with your marketing skills? I’ll touch on each point in this LegalShield review.

LegalShield MLM Review

LegalShield provides pre-paid legal services. This is a way to retain legal representation at a low monthly fee (starting at $24.95 for personal plans or $49.00 business plans). When you need to consult a lawyer, one is just a phone call away.

Additional plans can be purchased through LegalShield including a Commercial Driver Plan and an Identity Theft Plan.

These lawyers are equipped to provide legal advice, review contracts, and advocate on your behalf in writing such as a cease and desist letter.

LegalShield associates can review and customize these plans for their customers. They provide important sales information and can meet with clients personally to go over plan details.

How to Become a LegalShield Associate

Interested parties can become a LegalShield associate by signing up on the official website. They will submit information about who recruited them and the team they’ll be on. The LegalShield cost is $99 for sign-up and depending on the state there may be some additional fees.

Associates can then start selling pre-paid legal services to friends, family, and acquaintances in their social network. Here they will use marketing skills like connecting with customers and problem-solving by offering a service that meets customers’ needs.

Eventually, they can begin to form their team or downline. Forming a team can boost their earnings.

Earning Potential with LegalShield

As with most MLM setups, earning potential is potentially unlimited. However, there are some very real limits on what people actually earn in practice.

LegalShield points out that new associates can earn up to $230.21 per day by selling a new plan each day. This would total a monthly income of $6,906.31.

Associates who have created a team could potentially earn $1,496.43 a day and $44,829.90 a month.

However, when you look at the real income disclosure documentation from LegalShield, it tells a different story about LegalShield profit potential.

Associates who had been with LegalShield for two years or less in 2019 made an average of $798 for the year. In that same year, 73% of all associates made under $1,000 for the entire year.

Like all network marketing businesses, LegalShield benefits the earliest associates who have the biggest downlines and earn commissions on all of their sales.

For the average new member, finding new customers and establishing an independent business in an area that may have other LegalShield associates targeting the same customers is difficult.

Earning potential exists, but as someone who has also worked with an MLM, getting all of your ducks in a row to make it in network marketing can be a challenge.

Marketing Business Opportunities

So if network marketing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, what kind of marketing skills did I mean when I said there was a better way to earn online through marketing?

Have you heard of affiliate marketing? If you felt like you had an aptitude for network marketing, you’ll likely find similar skills are applicable in affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing does not require you to buy into someone else’s business or manage an inventory. Instead, you use your marketing talents to reach out to a wide audience online through promotional content that you create.

Affiliate marketing is a legitimate business opportunity that does not rely on an external sales or business model. It is yours alone to do exactly what you want with it on your own time.

Transferrable Marketing Skills

If you want to do affiliate marketing as a job, you’ll need to look at the skills you already have from doing network marketing or which would make you talented in both industries.

Do you connect with people easily? How are you at problem-solving? Can you talk or write about a product and showcase its best qualities?

A huge part of any marketing job is being able to pose a product or service as a solution to a problem. If you are able to do that, affiliate marketing might be a great fit for you.

The Affiliate Marketing Business Opportunity

Affiliate marketing is the practice of promoting products or services for sellers and steering customers toward them. Unlike an MLM, you do not have to stock or sell the product yourself. Instead, you create promotional content.

Examples of this are all over the internet, but you see it frequently on social media posts or video product reviews. If the creator says, “Use my coupon code Jess10 to save 10%,” they are participating in affiliate marketing.

Each time someone uses a link or code they provide to make a purchase from the original seller, the seller compensates the marketer for steering sales to them.

Getting started as an affiliate marketer takes only a few tools, most of which are free or low-cost. You need a platform to host your promotional content, like a social media app, video channel, or personal blog.

Then you should get connected with some affiliate programs. These will match you with sellers who need content. You can also research more affiliate opportunities from other companies.

Get a Real Marketing Education

If after reading this LegalShield MLM review you’re starting to think MLMs aren’t for you, consider affiliate marketing. The same skills that you would use in network marketing are applicable to affiliate marketing, and you’ll have the same type of adjustable work schedule in this business opportunity.

Skillshare Review: Is It Worth It?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Are you looking to build an online business or start a new career as a freelancer? Or do you just want to refine your skills and pursue your passion project?

If so, then you understand that it’s hard to make progress on your own. We need other people and we need a proper education.

That’s where online courses and virtual education come in handy. Many platforms exist today to learn online. But Skillshare is one of the most popular.

Keep reading for our full Skillshare review to see if this online educational platform is a good fit for you and your goals.

What Is Skillshare?

Skillshare is a virtual learning platform that currently boasts thousands of online courses. On the platform, you can learn anything from creative writing to knitting, public speaking to building a website, and everything in between.

All of the educational courses are made with video. Most courses are made by regular people who have experience in the subject matter. There are not a lot of courses taught by famous gurus here.

Educational courses vary in length from just a few minutes to multiple hours. Each course creator has free reign to create their own course.

Many course creators include a project for the class, where you get to practice what you are learning. Participation is completely optional but encouraged to solidify your knowledge.

Skillshare, or any of the individual courses, are not accredited.

Who Is SkillShare For?

Skillshare is perfect for beginners in any given subject. If you are just picking up a camera, for example, Skillshare is the perfect place to learn about photography.

You can watch an entire “Photography 101” course, or find specific courses such as “Working With Natural Light.”

Those who are looking to build an online business or learn new skills will benefit from the courses. Because the entire course library is available through subscription, members are free to sample many different courses.

If you’d like to learn a little bit about many different things as you decide which skill you’d like to develop, Skillshare is a great platform.

How Much Does Skillshare Cost?

Rather than paying for individual courses like other learning platforms, such as Udemy, Skillshare requires a flat monthly or annual fee. As a member, you can watch as many Skillshare courses as you want, any time.

Currently, an annual membership costs $168, which comes out to $14 per month. If you don’t want to pay for the entire year upfront, you can pay $32 monthly.

They offer a 7-day free trial, so there’s no reason not to give it a go and try one or two relevant courses.

Skillshare Pros

For starters, Skillshare is very affordable. Many people are afraid of paying for online courses, as prices are often high and they aren’t sure they will receive enough value.

Skillshare keeps their pricing low enough, so that even if you only learn one or two valuable things per month, it may be worth the cost.

Plus, the range of courses available is very enticing. With thousands of practical courses related to photography, writing, design, blogging, and more, you can learn a lot about many subjects.

One of the most convenient aspects of skillshare is the mobile app. With it, you can download entire courses to your phone so that you can keep learning when you don’t have an internet connection or phone service.

So you may be stuck in the middle of nowhere unable to browse social media, or on a plane, but at least you can continue your online education.

Skillshare Cons

Courses on Skillshare tend to be more broad than deep. While there may be thousands of courses about writing, for example, most are going to be introductory, intended for beginners.

Many courses do not go deep enough or don’t share enough practical information. After watching many lessons, you may have an idea of what to do, but not an exact process to follow to actually make it happen.

This is because Skillshare is open to anyone and everyone to create and share their courses. Many of them are professional and taught by experienced individuals. But a good portion of the available courses are poor quality, made by those trying to make a quick buck.

One of the biggest failures of Skillshare is the lack of true community. While you may be able to leave comments on courses and send messages to instructors, there isn’t much interaction.

As such, you aren’t able to learn from others alongside you. And when it comes to success in online business, mentorship and community are key to long-term success.

Skillshare Review; Is It Worth It?

When it comes to online education, particularly around developing skills for your business or side hustle, Skillshare is cheap.

If you pay for a month or two and decide the content isn’t enough for you, you didn’t lose much. Plus, you get a free trial, so you may be able to decide before spending any money. If you are only interested in one topic, other learning platforms such as Udemy may be a better option for you.

Skillshare is perfect for beginners who don’t know exactly what they’d like to pursue. If you are interested in becoming a designer, a graphic artist, a photographer, a writer, and a public speaker, you can learn a little bit about each of those subjects.

As you do that, hopefully, you will discover exactly what you’d like to pursue.

For those who are looking to build an online business or become a freelancer, however, you won’t get enough practical information. Much of the content is introductory in nature. So while you might pick up nuggets of information, don’t expect to have a successful business after becoming a member.

Building a Profitable Business Online

Skillshare is a great platform for many people. Don’t let our Skillshare review stop you from giving it a try. If you are new to the world of online business, you may even find it valuable.

But for those who have tried their hand at many business opportunities and have yet to develop traction in their online business, you need something more. You need to learn from people who have been where you are and made it to the other side.

You need to learn from people who have built an online business from the ground up. And you need to learn alongside other people who are in the same boat as you, so you can grow and succeed together.

An in-Depth Rodan and Fields Review: Money Maker or Money Taker?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Do you love skincare? Does making money online sound like a dream? Well, Rodan and Fields aims to help skincare lovers reach those goals.

But a good Rodan and Fields review can show that it isn’t that easy. Before you join the Rodan and Fields MLM, you should consider if it’s worth your time and money.

Keep reading to learn about the company and if you should join.

What Is Rodan and Fields?

Rodan and Fields (stylized Rodan + Fields) is a skincare company by Katie Rodan and Kathy A. Fields. They’re the same dermatologists who created Proactiv products.

Both dermatologists went to school at Stanford, and they have created a full line of skincare products. Rodan and Fields is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company, and they have over 400,000 Independent Consultants.

If you want to sell skincare, this could be a good option. You can focus on a few of your favorite products from the company, or you can sell everything.

How to Join

To join Rodan and Fields, you will need to pay $75. You will then get to work with the community of women selling the products. Once you join, you can make sales online, so you can work from home or wherever.

You will also have access to support to help you make more sales.

If you know a current consultant, you can join Rodan and Fields through a consultant’s website. Or you can join through the Rodan and Fields website.

Ways to Make Money

After you sign up, you will need to buy Rodan and Fields products to sell them. This is the first way you can make money with this MLM, and you can do so when you start.

But you can also make money by recruiting other people to sell. You can earn a small commission whenever the people you recruit make sales. As you recruit more people and your recruits bring in more consultants, you can earn even more.

If you can build a large team of consultants, you won’t have to make as many sales yourself to earn money. But you will have to rely on others to sell products.

Can You Make a Lot of Money?

An essential part of any Rodan and Fields review is how much money you can make. While you can earn money in multiple ways, not a lot of consultants make good money in the Rodan and Fields MLM.

In 2019, only 1% of consultants made over $26,000. Out of the over 400,000 consultants, only 70 made over $500,000. About two-thirds of consultants made less than $1,000 that year.

While you may be able to make money, your chances are very low. You would need to have a large audience willing to buy your products or a lot of people to recruit to make good money.

Pros of Rodan and Fields

While you may not be a millionaire with Rodan and Fields, it can be worth a shot. If you like skincare and want to work from home, you may find some success selling the products.

Here are a couple of benefits of working for Rodan and Fields.

Clinically Tested

Rodan and Fields have shown before and after photos of people who have used their products. The pictures can show you and your potential customers what the products can do.

And since two dermatologists founded the company, it can also be easier to trust. That can make it a lot easier to sell the products when you start your website. Having a good reputation is important, especially when selling skincare products.

If you’re trying to decide between Rodan and Fields and another MLM, this company has some extra credibility.

Great for Selling Online

Another benefit of selling Rodan and Fields is that you can sell the products online. They’ll give you a website you can use that you can link to on social media or an existing website.

Then, you can drive traffic to your Rodan and Fields site to get sales or recruit new consultants. You can take advantage of things like SEO to bring in leads without having to pay for ads.

Cons of Rodan and Fields

Unfortunately, Rodan and Fields is still an MLM, and it has many of the same problems as other companies. Before you buy your starter kit, consider if these cons are worth dealing with.

Then, you can determine if Rodan and Fields is a good choice for you.

Expensive

If your friends and followers tend to buy drugstore skincare products, you may find it hard to make sales. Rodan and Fields products can cost hundreds of dollars.

Not only that, but your profit margins on retail sales aren’t that much. You’ll have to pay a lot to buy the product at a discount before you sell it to your customers.

Now, it could be a good option if you have a wealthier audience who can afford more. But it may still be hard to get sales.

Competition

One potential reason why many people fail in an MLM is the competition. After all, Rodan and Fields has over 400,000 consultants, and they’re trying to sell to the same people as you.

If you bring in new recruits, that will give you even more competition, especially if you recruit your friends.

However, you also face competition from other skincare lines that aren’t MLMs. You have to show why people should buy your products over other brands.

Focus on Recruiting

If you want to make a lot of money from Rodan and Fields, you have no choice but to recruit people. Your retail profits can be very slim, and it can take a lot of work to sell them.

While affiliate marketing commissions aren’t always great, they don’t involve recruiting other sellers. Affiliate marketing also doesn’t require you to deal with products.

Rodan and Fields Review: Skincare With a Twist

Any Rodan and Fields review should cover the skincare company from different angles. On the one hand, it can be a great way to make money online. However, many consultants won’t make a huge profit.

If you want to sell skincare products online, you can try Rodan and Fields. But don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.

The Complete Avon MLM Review

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

If you’re looking for an easy way to make money, you may be looking at an MLM company.

Out of all of the MLM companies out there, the Avon MLM is probably the main one you’re considering. There was a time when the beauty giant dominated the industry. However, Avon sales have fallen by half over the last seven years. But there are many benefits of joining Avon over similar companies.

Is selling Avon worth it? Here’s our review of the Avon company.

Company History and Overview

Avon is a company that was founded on the ideals of hustling. Its founder, David H. McConnell, made his living by selling books door-to-door. But in 1886, he had the idea to sell perfume instead of books.

Over the next several decades, McConnell’s company changed headquarters, had executives come and go, and went through various other changes.

But it was when the company changed its name from California Perfume Company to Avon Products is when it truly settled on its branded name and image.

Today, Avon is a multi-million direct sales company. Some of their biggest competitors are other beauty giants, such as Estee Lauder and L’Oreal.

Avon has also kept McConnell’s door-to-door sales strategy alive by relying on representatives (“Avon ladies/men”) to sell their products. Their representatives usually deliver catalogs and buyers order directly from them, though representatives can now set up online stores.

In order to gain success by working for Avon, representatives can set up “Avon shops.” These are small boutiques where buyers can purchase Avon products directly. You can usually find Avon shops at malls, flea markets, and more.

What Does Avon Sell?

Looking back at the previous section, you can gauge that Avon is famous for their perfumes. They continue holding that status today. With multiple trademarks and a collection of best-selling fragrances, Avon is currently number 5 on the list of Fragrance and Perfume companies.

But Avon has expanded their catalog over the decades. First, Avon sells essential cosmetics that all beauty lovers use on a regular basis. This includes nail polish, foundation/powders, mascara, and just about all lipstick colors.

In addition, they sell multiple types of skincare for everyone. This includes serums, lotions, anti-aging products, and moisturizers. They also have an extensive personal care inventory, which includes toothpaste, deodorant, hair styling products, and even clothing.

Are Their Products Good?

Are their products actually good? Are they worth selling? There’s a reason they have been a staple in the beauty industry — consumers love their products! Their perfume smells amazing, their makeup works well, and their skincare shows results.

But when judging by their product quality, it’s worth looking at the competition and the modern consumer.

Avon reached its peak in the 50s and 60s with their “Ding Dong, Avon Calling” campaign and their success continues until the mid-2000s. From here, their sales started declining.

There are many reasons for their decline. First, because of their success decades ago, their core consumers consist of older women who don’t have a computer and rely on their “Avon lady” to buy their beauty products.

Avon also fails to attract the modern beauty enthusiast. Their expectations in their beauty products are extremely different compared to previous generations.

While Avon products are still good quality, they don’t match the quality of professional beauty brands like Mac and the products buyers find at retailers like Sephora and Ulta or even at the local pharmacy (where 90% of American teenagers shop for cosmetics).

Why Avon Can’t Attract the Younger Crowd

While Avon still has a firm grasp on the Boomers, they fail to draw in millennials, Gen-Zers, and even Gen-Xers.

Gen-Zers and millennials are also knowledgeable consumers. They’re not trusting their local Avon lady for product recommendations. Instead, they research various brands and products. They also follow trends on social media channels such as Tik Tok, and other beauty brands are the ones catching the eyes of the younger crowd.

This is especially true in the realm of skincare; more younger people are interested in skincare. Gen-Zers and millennials are the age of “skintellectuals” because of their knowledge of skincare habits, products, various skin types, and even ingredients found in different products.

A change in business model and marketing can help Avon attract millennials and Gen-Zers. But what about Gen-Xers?

This is the busy generation that consists of parents, executives, and many are caring for their aging parents. This is why the Avon door-to-door business model also fails to communicate to Gen-Xers, especially since they’re just as knowledgeable as the younger crowd.

Is Selling Avon Worth It?

With all of these facts in mind, you may be wondering if selling Avon is even worth it. Well, there are pros and cons to know.

Pros

First, Avon has extremely low startup costs compared to other MLM careers and companies. All representatives need to pay a low fee of $25. This usually goes toward catalogs, products, and more. You can choose a higher-priced package, but $25 is the bare minimum.

They also offer other assistance to new sellers, such as the Kickstarter Program where representatives receive 40% sales commissions right off the bat. You’ll also receive assistance from your Team Leader who can help you grow your business.

As you achieve more sales, your commissions increase. This makes Avon extremely profitable.

Unlike many MLM companies, they’re a recognized name. Your consumers won’t be buying into a pyramid scheme. They’re buying from the friendly “Avon lady.” This creates trust and recognition among your buyers.

Cons

As with all MLMs, you have to factor in competition and the hard work that more experienced sellers put into their business. If you truly want to earn a living, you’ll likely have to become a team leader.

Avon relies on old-school promotion methods, such as catalogs, that don’t attract the younger consumer. While you can sell Avon online, you’re also competing against major beauty retailers such as Sephora.

The Avon MLM Isn’t the Only Way to Become Your Own Boss

You dream of becoming your own boss and making a living doing what you love. But is the Avon MLM your only option? You can start with affiliate marketing.

This includes less overhead and doesn’t require as many marketing and sales skills. The beauty niche is also popular and profitable, making affiliate marketing a great option for this crowd.

Herbalife Review: The Real Deal or Deal Breaker?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Has someone in your family or friend group been hassling you about joining Herbalife? You’ve seen it before: someone on Facebook or Instagram talks all about their incredible new business opportunity and how they’ve reached financial freedom.

Is it legit?

Before you go signing up for something you haven’t put research into, it’s time to learn the facts. Is Herbalife as good as it seems, or is there something more sinister behind the business model?

Keep reading for my Herbalife review so you can learn all about how they may not be as great as they seem.

Herbalife: What Is It?

Herbalife is one of the most popular “network marketing” companies. They sell products that they claim are good for your health and promote weight loss.

They frame themselves as a company that provides a fantastic at-home business opportunity for anyone willing to put in the work to achieve massive earnings.

Like many of these types of businesses, they have an earning structure that may not be related to product sales at all. So why do people get involved?

Do the Products Work?

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of working for Herbalife, it’s useful to know about their products and whether or not they’re actually a good investment. If you plan on joining their company, you want to know that they’re selling a good product, right?

Herbalife products are labeled as “dietary supplements” and are allegedly backed by scientists and nutritionists.

Their most popular product is a nutrition shake (which is going to be our focus here), but they also sell vitamin supplements, immune support, tea concentrates, and more.

To be clear, there are nutritionists on Herbalife’s board, but is this good enough? To be valuable, these nutritionists need to be nonbiased, and someone who gets a degree doesn’t necessarily equate to someone who wants to provide useful information.

The popular Formula 1 shakes are meant to be meal replacements when they’re used for weight loss.

Each one has fewer than 300 calories and fewer than 20 grams of protein. This makes them nutritionally inadequate for meal replacements. While a low-calorie diet will help you lose weight, it isn’t sustainable and these shakes are bordering on being too low in protein.

All of this said, they do offer higher-protein options.

But Are They Worth It?

Many of their supplements are overpriced. While they may work, they’re no more effective than supplements that you can get at a pharmacy if you know what to look for.

When it comes to the shakes, shakes with higher protein and equal to lower calorie content are available elsewhere. While the extra “herbs and vitamins” that these shakes offer are tempting, the price point (nearly double other nutrition shakes) is not.

What’s the Income Structure?

So what’s it like to earn when you’re doing Herbalife?

Herbalife claims that there are multiple ways to earn money with various income streams. These are:

Retail commission
Wholesale commission
Royalties
Production bonuses
Cash promotions
A “Mark Hughes” bonus
Paid vacations

But is this true?

In reality, making money through most of those income streams is difficult. People who buy Herbalife to sell do so at a discount and hope to sell the product full-price to anyone they can persuade into it (in this case, friends and family).

Because most people aren’t interested in Herbalife products, both because they’re overpriced and because they’ve now developed a bad reputation, distributors don’t earn enough from the commission. So what about the other income streams?

The production bonus, paid vacations, Mark Hughes bonus, and cash bonus, are all bonuses that are based on recruiting other people.

When you establish downlines (that is, people who you recruit), you earn royalties based on sales and their recruitment earnings (for up to the third tier: your recruit’s recruits).

How Do They Recruit?

So how are people recruiting for this anyway?

Well, you’ve already seen it. They use social media (or worse, real-life interactions) to sing the praise of Herbalife and how it’s helped them create financial independence and ultimate health.

They may post “weight loss results” that may or may not be doctored photos. When other people want to achieve their results, they prey on their insecurity to reel them in.

First, these people try the products. Because they’re expensive, distributors encourage them to also become distributors to get the discount and provide themselves with an “amazing income stream.”

Is Herbalife an MLM?

Think of it this way. If you’re a starting distributor, let’s say you get three recruits underneath you. Then those recruits have two underneath each of them. If you draw this out, what does it look like?

While “pyramid scheme” is a divisive term, there’s no doubt that this is a business system with multiple levels. It fits the definition of a multi-level marketing system.

Do People Actually Make Money?

Most people who distribute Herbalife will never make a dime. They spend a lot of money on products to distribute, but without being able to sell them, they end their distribution career at a loss.

Even if they manage to get a few recruits, the income is minimal, and often it just makes them break even. So how are there people who claim that they’ve “made it big” with Herbalife? Where do those company trips come from?

To advance beyond the halfway mark, tier-wise, with Herbalife, you must recruit people beneath you. The top distributors (who get the Mark Hughes bonus) are not the ones who are selling on social media.

For the most part, they’re people who have been working with Herbalife for decades, so all of their money comes from recruits. They use their earnings to “encourage” others that they can do the same.

That said, if you’re intent on staying with this kind of program, you should at least brush up on your marketing techniques. People are wise to the cut-and-paste scripts that the company provides.

Final Herbalife Review: Not Worth It

If you got into Herbalife in the nineties or early 2000s I might say that Herbalife is a valid business opportunity, but this Herbalife review gives the business a failing grade as far as opportunity goes.

There are better ways to make money from home.

You deserve to rely on yourself and products that you feel good selling to people. Don’t rely on downlines for your income. Instead, learn how other people have reached success through online marketing. You can create your own online business instead of lining other people’s pockets.

A Complete MONAT Review: Worth It or Worthless?

March 10, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Multi-level marketing is often touted as a great way to earn passive income, or even become your own boss and run your own business.

Multi-level marketing (MLM) has shown very little signs of slowing down in the past few years. And one of the most popular ones on the market is MONAT.

Is MONAT worth it? In this MONAT review, we go into the pros and cons of becoming a distributor and offer some alternatives for passive income. Read on to find out more.

MONAT 101

MONAT is a line of hair and skin care products, along with other health and wellness products. These products are only available via direct sales from MONAT distributors, and not available in stores.

The brand was started in 2014 by Luis and Rayner Urdaneta. Stuart MacMillan is the president of MONAT, who is notable for his involvement in the TelexFree Ponzi scheme, which was shut down six months before he joined MONAT.

MONAT’s most touted products are their hair care offerings, which include various shampoos and conditioners. These products retail for upwards of $100 a bottle, but average around $40.

MONAT also offers a selection of skin care products such as face masques and exfoliating or hydrating scrubs.

How To Make Money Selling Monat

Like any other MLM company, MONAT distributors can make money in two ways. Let’s further examine how you could potentially earn income with MONAT.

Direct Sales

The first is via direct sales to customers. This sounds like it would be fairly simple, as the products aren’t available in stores.

However, obtaining and growing a customer base is much more difficult than MONAT recruiters would make it seem.

First, MONAT products are much more expensive than even many luxury brands, without the value of established brand recognition. And their quality and safety have been called into question on more than one occasion.

Additionally, many people are uncomfortable buying products through direct sales. This can be for various reasons, such as return policies, or wariness about MLM products’ safety and effectiveness.

Working for an MLM, you are expected to manage all aspects of your business except for making the products. This includes leveraging your social media influence to sell to friends and family.

And many people do not like to be pressured by a hard sell. A few may buy products once or twice just to do you a favor, but don’t expect to make long-term repeat customers of your social circle.

To put it bluntly, unless you are a highly trained marketing professional and influencer with a high level of reach, you will be hard-pressed to make an income with MONAT.

Recruitment

The real bread and butter of an MLM is recruiting other distributors into the company.

Basically, for every new distributor that you onboard, you get a cut of their profits, as well as from their onboarding fee.

Did I mention the onboarding fee? MONAT starter kits cost $49 to join and start selling, but new distributors are encouraged to spend at least $300 to “build up an inventory” (and increase their upline’s income).

This is where the passive income claims that MONAT and other MLM brands come to pass: if you sign up 10 people, you’ll get about $100 a month. If those 10 people sign up another 10 people, you’ll get $1000 a month.

Is this starting to sound a bit like a pyramid scheme?

Is MONAT a Pyramid Scheme?

Legally speaking, no. But if you compare the MLM model to a pyramid scheme, they look almost identical.

The primary difference between an MLM like Monat and a traditional pyramid scheme is that MLMs skirt legal issues by offering a product for sale. Pyramid schemes only deal in recruitment and money flow.

To sum it up: MONAT and other MLMs are legal pyramid schemes. They mainly make money by recruiting other people to buy in by paying to join.

This money flows its way up the pyramid, where those at or near the very top are making enough to be considered wealthy. This dream is then sold to every new potential recruit as a possibility.

But the reality is that the majority of people who join an MLM do not make much money at all. Some even lose money, to the tune of thousands of dollars in unsold products they were encouraged to buy at the beginning.

An Honest MONAT Review?

If you search for MONAT product reviews, the internet is full of horror stories. Hair falling out, balding, scalp chemical burns, and skin irritations abound.

Whether this is due to a bad batch or a low-quality product being offered at a premium, who is to say?

Just be aware that potential customers might do their research before purchasing a $40 bottle of shampoo, and see these reviews.

Another concern with MONAT is their dubious claims. A hallmark MLM feature is products that seemingly cure a wide range of ailments or issues.

Many of MONAT’s products are marketed as being good for hair, skin, nails, pets, and more. The Federal Trade Commission has started cracking down on MLMs making unsubstantiated and unproven health claims.

MONAT Alternatives

If you are looking for more income but are wary of joining an MLM for the reasons outlined above, there are other ways to make money that don’t involve spending your own to get started.

Affiliate marketing is a growing trend for generating income. This is a way to harness the power of social media and online marketing to sell products for companies without having to pay them for the privilege.

In fact, affiliate marketing will actually get you paid, both in cash and occasionally free products.

Arbonne Review: Business Opportunity or MLM Scam?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

A side hustle is far more common than you may think. In fact, nearly half of Americans are working some kind of side hustle in addition to another job.

Arbonne is an especially attractive side hustle option for many Americans, particularly women. The company’s promise of natural products and a flexible schedule is a huge draw to many individuals.

But for years, there have been cries of “scam” or “MLM” or “pyramid scheme” associated with any Arbonne review. Does the company deserve these accusations?

There are many nuances to the structure of how Arbonne representatives earn money. But that does not necessarily mean it’s structured as a pyramid scheme, MLM, or any other quick cash grab.

However, it’s extremely important to examine the facts before diving headfirst into the life of an Arbonne representative. In this extensive Arbonne review, we will take a look at the company, its pay structure, how its reps earn an income, and whether Arbonne is the right fit for you.

What Defines an MLM?

First, let’s break down what an MLM is.

Multi-level marketing is commonly referred to as a “pyramid scheme.” These campaigns involve recruiting representatives to sell products to other people. These reps are encouraged to recruit other people to climb the ladder. The higher up the ladder you go, the less legwork you’re doing and the more money you’re making.

While pyramid schemes are illegal, multi-level marketing is not. Pyramid schemes are structured the same way as MLM, but there’s no product being sold, whereas MLM sells a product. Think Avon, Mary Kay, or Tupperware parties.

Arbonne perfectly fits the structure of MLM. A new Arbonne representative makes an initial investment in product and is meant to sell that product to others. Arbonne requires that its reps purchase a certain amount of product each month to hold their title in the company (more on that later.)

As Arbonne reps recruit more people, they are eligible to obtain new titles and benefits, including a stipend towards their infamous white Mercedes. The more people in your Arbonne network, the higher your pay cut.

This is a pretty straightforward example of how multi-level marketing works.

An Arbonne Review

If you’re reading this article, you likely have an idea of what Arbonne is.

But for those who are unfamiliar with the company, let’s take a quick look at their history.

Founded in 1980, the company set out to create skincare products that were not filled with harmful chemicals. Over time, the company developed into the line of skincare, nutrition, and cosmetics it’s known for today.

Arbonne’s multi-level marketing is built on its consultants. This is the starting point in Arbonne. The more people you recruit as a consultant, the more money you can earn.

Naturally, the higher you rise, the bigger your cut of the profits. In 2020, Arbonne was sitting pretty on profits of $672 million.

The Pros

You’ve read the Arbonne reviews, and it seems like the perfect business opportunity for you. Work your own hours, sell something you’re passionate about, discover a better life.

There are plenty of pros if you decide to pursue a career with Arbonne:

No Physical Inventory

Although you’re required to purchase a certain amount of Arbonne products each month, you don’t have to keep the products in your personal inventory. Customers can order off your Arbonne page and have products directly shipped to their homes.

Fit Arbonne Into Your Life

Affiliate marketing is an enticing career path for many individuals, as it offers the flexibility to earn an income on social platforms you already own.

Arbonne is easy to promote on Facebook or Instagram. Arbonne reviews are a great way to tell your readers and followers about new nutrition flavors or the latest Arbonne lipstick drop.

This influencer-like approach to products is growing exponentially on social platforms. It’s especially popular in the beauty industry, as readers are eager to learn about a product before buying.

Work Your Own Hours

One of the biggest draws of any small business opportunity is the ability to work your own hours. With Arbonne, you’re in control of where you spend time.

Travel the world, spend time with family, or explore new places your city has to offer. The flexibility of Arbonne means you can experience life while earning an income.

The Cons

Of course, there is always a negative side to everything. New business opportunities are hard, no matter what those opportunities are.

Arbonne is no different. For every positive offered by Arbonne, there’s certainly a negative:

You Must Maintain Your Status

Growing with Arbonne is great, but to keep your higher income and status, you have to maintain your status.

There are certain requirements with each achievement level with Arbonne. If you have your eyes on the top level of Arbonne achievement, you have to ensure the consultants working within your team are meeting their goals.

Products Are Expensive

Arbonne is committed to cruelty-free products and sustainable business practices, but that means their products are very expensive. That expense may be valuable to some customers, but not everyone can afford them.

The Competition Is Extensive

Skincare and nutrition products are not unique. If you choose to sell Arbonne, you will be competing with plenty of other MLM agencies selling similar products. You will also be competing with well-established retail brands.

The Choice Is Yours

Choosing to sell Arbonne is ultimately your decision.

With this Arbonne review, take the time to consider whether Arbonne is the right career path for you. There are plenty more pros and cons when it comes to taking on Arbonne. And online businesses aren’t for everyone.

Mary Kay Review: Business Opportunity or Scam?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Mary Kay is one of the older and better-known MLMs in America. Founded in 1963 by Mary Kay Ash (and now owned by David Holl), the company is now worth an estimated $3 billion.

Because Mary Kay is a household name, it’s easy to fall into the trap of blindly trusting their business model or assuming that it will work for you. In this Mary Kay review, we’ll look at the opportunities Mary Kay offers, how it works, and why it may not be as easy as it first appears.

In addition, we’ll also discuss the ways that you can boost your sales with any affiliate program, including Mary Kay. Remember, these products don’t sell themselves. Your own marketing skills and business savvy are key requirements for finding success as an affiliate marketer.

Read on to learn more about Mary Kay and find out what you can do to increase sales and live the Mary Kay success story you’ve heard so much about.

A Brief History of Mary Kay

First thing’s first: Mary Kay is not a scam. It’s not a pyramid scheme. How do we know this?

To qualify as a pyramid scheme, a company must put its sales team in a position where the products generate little to no profit. Instead, the money lies only in creating a strong downstream of even more salespeople.

Mary Kay is a product-focused company selling cosmetics and high-end skincare products. What started as a single brick and mortar shop branched into a national direct sales company, now employing thousands of “beauty consultants” across the country.

Mary Kay Ash is considered one of the greatest entrepreneurs of her generation. She created jobs for women at a time when women were largely pushed out of the workforce. She gave them the opportunity to supplement their family income on their own time and at their own pace.

What Makes It Difficult to Find Success With Mary Kay?

Unlike other MLMs, Mary Kay isn’t exactly upfront with income disclosure for beauty consultants. One report found that Mary Kay beauty consultants claimed to be making an average of up to $38,000 a year from their work with Mary Kay, but these numbers were self-reported and may not be accurate. In fact, there’s no way they’re accurate.

Here’s the deal. Admittedly, Mary Kay does offer a better commission rate than most competitors. Beauty consultants receive a 50% commission on every product they sell, whether they’re new to the game or a high-ranking team leader.

However, making money as a beauty consultant isn’t as simple as knocking on doors or hosting sales parties. While you can certainly make money selling individual products, the fastest way to boost your income is by building up your downstream. Because Mary Kay has been around for so long (and now has competition now than ever), you may find that the market for new beauty consultants is pretty saturated.

The real trouble begins when beauty consultants invest more than they make. In order to keep your sales rolling, you have to purchase a lot of Mary Kay’s products. You can sell these products directly or use them as samples to generate interest but either way, that money is coming out of your own pocket.

Plus, if you’ve worked as an affiliate marketer before, you’ve probably come to realize that the companies, themselves, don’t provide a ton of guidance. At most, they may tell you to reach out to friends and family to land sales and build your downstream. That well runs dry pretty quick and you’re not going to see the profit you’re looking for if you can’t tap into a wider market.

That being said, we know there are people who have made big bucks under Mary Kay and even earned the coveted pink Cadillac. So, how did they do it? What tactics can you adopt to see that avalanche of sales you’re looking for?

What Can You Do to Boost Sales and Become a True Success Story?

Gone are the days when Mary Kay beauty consultants operated like door-to-door saleswomen. Now, it’s time to build your business empire online, where you can reach a far wider market than ever before.

Building a strong online presence takes dedication and know-how. You need to understand who you are as a brand and take control of the narrative you’re putting forward. Always remember that in this day and age, the personal is what sells.

Beyond that, you need to know how to navigate online resources, build a dedicated following, advertise effectively, and convert all of that traffic into real sales. With our blog, you can begin to learn some of the most important tips and tricks to get started. This is where we cover topics like building up your YouTube channel, generating millions of views on your TikTok videos, and more.

In the end, you get back what you put in. No multi-level marketing success story happened because of the phenomenal products or groundbreaking business model. In the end, individual success comes from each affiliate marketer’s ability to get out there and convince consumers that the products are worth it.

Is Epic Trading Legit? Your Questions Answered

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Online marketing is the new American Dream. You hear the stories every week, if not every day.

“I was stuck at a dead-end job, working my life away with no reward. One day I got fed up with it. I started my own online business catering to a specific niche. Now I’m a multi-millionaire!”

The problem is, many businesses sell you this dream for their profit. The most common way companies do this is through pyramid schemes.

However, not all businesses that offer you the chance to start a home-based business are fraudulent. Epic Trading is an example of a legit company that equips you to succeed in online marketing.

Many people think that because Epic Trading wants its existing members to connect new members to their platform, it must be a pyramid scheme.

While people have a right to be suspicious of scams, especially online, there’s more to Epic Trading than you may believe. It can be a valuable tool to help you build an online business from the ground up!

Pyramid Schemes and MLM

Before we can talk about Epic Trading, though, we need to get some definitions clear.

First off, let’s figure out exactly what people even mean when they use the term “pyramid scheme.”

Pyramid schemes prey on your work or financial dissatisfactions. They promise you that you can change your life by selling their product.

In reality, all of your income comes from the recruitment of other people into the scheme.

To keep you invested, they will often offer you “growth opportunities” like webinars, conferences, and similar things (all of which they charge you for).

Of course, people often have suspicions about a marketing business whose product they’ve never seen. So, pyramid schemes often bolster their claims by providing you their product (once again, for a price).

When all of this is considered, even if you make some money by recruiting others, it will never be enough to repay how much you spend on the scheme.

Because so many people have encountered pyramid schemes, they are automatically wary of MLM businesses.

MLM stands for “multi-level marketing.” These businesses sell their product on a person-to-person basis. Often they also compensate you if you recruit others to the MLM company.

“So,” you may ask, “what’s the difference?”

The crucial difference between a pyramid scheme and an MLM business is what they pay you for. An MLM company, unlike a pyramid scheme, will pay you for your retail work independently of your recruitment numbers.

Epic Trading: What They Do

Epic Trading falls into the category of MLM business. There are high-end MLM names on their executive board, and they’ve been operating since 2014. All of this adds some legitimacy to the company.

What do they do, exactly? Essentially, they are a global training company. They offer several educational packages and courses, which are their product, to train members into successful online marketers.

Epic Trading can be deemed an MLM based on who buys their product. If the only people buying the courses are independent business owners (IBOs), who sign up solely to make money by recruiting other IBOs, it’s a bad deal.

To complicate matters, Epic Trading does have a compensation program for members who recruit new members, though.

So, you wonder, how does that not make Epic Trading a pyramid scheme?

If that’s what you’re thinking, then here’s a straightforward trick to help you determine whether a business is an MLM or pyramid scheme.

Ask yourself, “Would I buy this product for its quality, even if I don’t make money off of it?”

If the answer to that is “yes,” then the product is most likely not from a pyramid scheme.

Remember, pyramid schemes want to keep you invested in their product. They have no interest in actually furthering your interests.

If the product seems to be of good quality, will further your development through clear methods, and doesn’t require you to recruit others, it’s probably not a pyramid scheme.

By this criteria, Epic Trading comes across as a legitimate MLM business.

The Value of Marketing

Pyramid schemes hold out a dream of owning your own business and working from home, but never make good on it. They always want you to take another step into their scheme.

The dream they’re using against you isn’t just a fantasy, though. It does happen, and it can happen. Building an Epic Trading business is a great way to start.

First, they let you learn the basics of marketing. Specifically, you need to learn how to use online tools to your advantage as an online marketer. They will teach you how to do that.

Utilizing social media, online metrics, search engine optimization, and other similar materials can be a life-saving technique.

Instead of having to track down your friends and family with a sales pitch, you can reach thousands, maybe even millions, across the globe.

Of course, the online world is frequently changing. New platforms, new trends, and new information are constantly coming in.

Having somebody that can teach you how to spot crucial changes is a tremendous asset to you.

Epic Trading can strengthen your network marketing abilities, helping you to make the sales you need in your business network.

Beyond MLM

Epic Trading can be a great way to start making money from home, and it can be of critical aid when starting your own business.

What if there’s an even better way though?

There’s a way to set up a business that you’ll own with an easy newcomer-friendly structure. We know it works because it worked for us.

It’s the model that David Sharpe, CEO of Legendary Marketing, used to leave MLM and find incredible success.

Epic Trading Review: Why You Need Marketing Skills to Succeed

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Marketing skills are essential in every business, even an epic trading business. Marketing is essential for getting a clear picture of people’s wants and needs in the economy.

The key parts of marketing are research and adaptability. Research lets you know what people want and need, and adaptability is how you adjust your methods to meet people’s needs.

Just like in marketing, those traits are essential for a trading business. Keep reading to learn the marketing skill that leads to success.

Research and Analytics

Market research is the most important part of being a successful trader. Researching all relevant market trends and determining what they mean is essential for making accurate market predictions.

In marketing, you have to be on top of trends to determine what consumers are looking for. Similarly, with trading, you must have a good idea of what stocks will do based on the current market trends. And you have to do a lot of research to get that information.

Without analytical skills, all that research would be pointless. You have to use analytical skills to spot trends and determine the best way to use them.

A good suggestion when it comes to trading is to think less about the amount of money you’re trading and more about the trading methods that you’re using.

To perfect your analytical skills, focus on what moves you’re making and when. Timing is everything. If you focus too much on the money in your bank account, rather than your approach, you’ll have clouded judgment and you won’t make the best decisions. Leave emotions out of it.

The key is to use research and analytical skills to form a plan of action based on the information you’ve gathered, and stick to it.

Adaptability

Markets and trends are constantly changing, and the greatest marketers try to be ahead of the next trend. If your marketing strategies never adapt to current trends, then you’re doomed for obscurity.

Just like with marketing, the same is true for trading. Experienced traders develop their own tried and true strategies over time. No trader maneuvers the market the same, so it’s important to have your technique to develop an edge in the market.

Be careful not to get too stuck in what has worked for you in the past. While it’s always a good idea to stick to something that’s working, there’s never a guarantee that the method will continue working when market trends inevitability change.

An even better habit to form is to continue your research and analysis of the markets so you’re on top of any new trends. And then, have the adaptability to change your methods when you recognize new patterns.

Just like research won’t get you very far without analytics, analytics won’t get you very far if you’re not willing to adapt your methods to them.

Good Records

When you’re learning any new skill, learning from your mistakes is the fastest way to get better. Like with marketing, you must know what didn’t work in the past to know what won’t work for you now.

Successful traders keep trading journals to analyze why certain days were positive and other days were negative. Within your trading journal, a record which plays you made at which points, how you were feeling when you made that trade, and the result.

Record everything you do in the market, and why you did it. But don’t stop there. After a couple of days have passed, look back on your journal with a clear head. Read back through your journal to determine what you did that didn’t work or did work. Then, use that information to improve your future methods.

Nothing good ever came from repeating the same thing over and over again and hoping it works this time. Learn from your mistakes and adapt.

Patience and Discipline

The markets are constantly up and down. Without those fluctuations, there wouldn’t be much to gain from them. As the market is constantly up and down, you can expect to have ups and downs too.

Every trader knows you have gain days and you have lost days. It takes patience to get past the loss days. Don’t give up if you’ve had a series of down days. Just like you’re not going to have endless gain days, you’re not going to have endless loss days. Stick to it, and better days are ahead.

Sometimes it takes patience to find a good trade to jump in on. A series of days may pass with no significant trades. Don’t rush into trades, just for the sake of trading. That’s almost a sure way to have more losses than gains.

Take advantage of the research and analytics you’ve already done, and wait patiently for the right move.

It takes discipline to hold off when you need to. It also takes discipline to practice good risk management. Don’t risk large amounts of money on a single trade, and don’t put money in trades that have more risk than they’re worth.

As long as recognize that trading isn’t an instant gratification game all the time—and you have the discipline to stick to your plan—you’ll see more good days than bad days.

LipSense Review: Can You Make Money From Lipgloss?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Do you want to make money online and have control over your income? Have you always liked lipgloss and other beauty products? You should do a Lipsense review to see if you can sell the product and earn a living.

If you want to become a Lipsense distributor, you should consider how and how much it costs. Then, you can compare the good and bad parts to decide if it’s right for you.

Keep reading to learn if you should start stelling lipgloss.

What Is Lipsense?

Lipsense is a cosmetics line from the parent company Senegence. You can sell lipgloss to your friends and family, and you can sell the products online through your website or social media.

Whether you focus on Lipsense or also sell other Senegence products, you will need to become a Senegence distributor. Then, you can order products and sell them to your audience.

The multi-level marketing (MLM) company also lets you make money when you recruit another Lipsense distributor or more distributors. Without doing that, it can be hard to make money in this business model.

How to Join

If you want to become a Lipsense distributor, you will need to have a sponsor. This is someone who already sells Lipsense, so you can’t just join alone. The company will match you with a sponsor when you sign up.

You’ll need to pay $65 to $295 to become a distributor. For $65, you’ll get the new distributor kit, which comes with product testers and other resources to help you start selling lipgloss. However, paying $295 will get you a bigger demo kit with more products.

Then, you can order products from Senegence that you can sell to your audience.

How You Make Money

Before you rush to join as a Senegence distributor, consider how you can make money selling Lipsense. You have two ways to earn as a Lipsense distributor. First, you can earn by selling products yourself.

You’ll need to buy products, and buying more at a time will give you a bigger discount. Then, you can sell the products through your website or to people you know in real life.

You can also earn money if you recruit people to join the company and become distributors. When they sell products, you can earn up to 30% commissions.

Can You Make Money With Lipsense?

When starting any new income stream, you should make sure it will be profitable. While you may be able to make money with Lipsense, the odds are against making a huge amount.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t find an income disclosure statement from Senegence or specifically for Lipsense. However, the numbers are probably similar to MLMs overall. Across all MLMs, over half of sellers lost money or broke even.

Over 20% of distributors make less than $25,000 per year. While making that much could be a good extra income, it can take a lot of time and effort. If you want an easy way to make money, selling Lipsense is not the best option.

Pros of Selling Lipgloss

When doing a Lipsense review, it’s important to look at the good things about the opportunity. There are a lot of bad things, but some people can make money selling the products.

Before you ignore Lipsense, consider a couple of advantages it has.

Interesting Products

Becoming a Lipsense distributor could be a good option if you have a beauty blog. The lipgloss would fit in well with the other products you sell, so selling a lot of products may not take much work.

You can also sell other products from Senegence, such as concealers and powders. Then, you can keep things interesting for your audience by not promoting the same product over and over.

Flexibility

Another benefit of being a Lipsense distributor is that it’s flexible. You can buy as much product as you want and sell as much as you want. Of course, you will need to work to get sales.

But you can work from home, and you can ship orders as they come in. Then, you don’t have to put in a ton of work until you get someone to buy.

If you want to recruit people, you can make more money without extra work that way.

Cons of Selling Lipgloss

While there are a couple of reasons why you would want to sell Lipsense, there are more reasons to discourage you. Before you pay the joining fee and work with your sponsor, you should consider both sides of selling lipgloss.

Here are a few disadvantages of being a distributor for Senegence.

Takes Work

If you want to make money online, consider if you also want an easy way to make money. Selling lipgloss requires time and money to buy stock for you to sell. Then, you’ll need to spend time packing orders and shipping them off.

Compare that to an affiliate program, where you never have to touch the product. You also don’t have to recruit people to make a lot of money with affiliate marketing.

Hard to Make Money

If you’ve heard anything about MLMs like Lipsense, you know it can be almost impossible to make money. Not only that, but not everyone who makes money is profitable.

You would need to sell thousands of lipglosses or recruit multiple people to increase your income. If you don’t have extra money, you could also put yourself in debt to buy the product before you can even make money from it.

Cost to Join and Sell

Another disadvantage of joining Lipsense is that it can be expensive. You have to spend a lot of money to join the program, but the costs don’t stop there.

Each month, you’ll have to order products that you want to sell. While that can give you control over what to sell, you may not know what will make you money. On the other hand, affiliate marketing doesn’t have any fees to join or sell products.

Lipsense Review: Worth the Cost and Time?

When doing a Lipsense review, you should consider the good and the bad of selling the products. While some people can make money with this business, a lot of people can’t.

You’ll need to spend a lot of time and effort marketing the products, and you have to deal with shipping. If you want to make money online, Lipsense probably isn’t the best option.

Norwex Review: Is Home Cleaning the Right MLM For You?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Looking for a completely honest Norwex review that tells you the real deal about signing up to work with this home cleaning multi-level marketing (MLM) company? Well, you’ve found it.

As someone who has worked for an MLM in the past, I’ve got the inside scoop on how these companies work, what it takes to be successful, and how an aptitude for marketing is transferrable across several fields.

Bonus: I’ll tell you about how you can use marketing skills to make money online. Keep reading to learn more about what you need to know about Norwex.

A Brief Norwex Review

Norwex is a multi-level marketing company that sells cleaning supplies. These are marketed as sustainable and a way to reduce toxins in your home thanks to greener products.

They also make personal care products and towels. Many of their products are made of microfiber, which is an extra-absorbent material, reducing the need for other clean-up products like paper towels.

Consultants sign up generally after being recruited by an existing member. They are independent workers who purchase inventory themselves and sell it to friends, family members, and acquaintances through network marketing.

How Do Norwex Consultants Get Started?

When Norwex consultants are recruited, they sign up and get their first starter kit of inventory.

The Norwex starter kit is free, with just a shipping and handling cost. Valued at $200, consultants agree to sell the products within the starter kit in their first three months. If they do not sell the products, then the credit card they put on file will be charged the full value of the kit (even if they made some sales).

Consultants also purchase their own Norwex supplies at 35% off, a discount that is worth the sign-up for many.

Where Do Norwex Consultants Work?

Norwex suggests that consultants host parties with potential clients so they can see and get hands-on experience with the Norwex cleaning supplies. They can also get booths at markets and craft shows. Many simply sell to people they know out of their own homes.

Norwex permits consultants to have their own website at the Norwex domain so that setting up a retail website is simple and professional.

How Much Can I Make from Norwex?

As with all sales jobs, what you earn is usually very dependent on how much work you invest.

However, Norwex is very tight-lipped about consultants’ earnings, even stating in their Policies & Procedures guide that consultants are not to make claims about earnings to others.

Looking at similar business models of MLMs, earnings are typically concentrated toward the top of the uplines, with the earliest consultants profiting heavily off the sales of their recruits.

Recruits, on the other hand, rarely make more than pocket change and some even lose money when keeping inventory in stock they can’t off-load.

Why It’s a Struggle to Earn

The potential to make money in network marketing is real, but it’s not easy. With the design focused on funneling money upwards, new members often struggle to profit until they recruit a downline of their own.

Doing so becomes increasingly hard if the area they sell in is oversaturated with other consultants. This can cut into potential sales and recruits.

But there are still skills that may have attracted a Norwex rep to network marketing or that they have learned while doing it that can help them pivot into other marketing fields.

Should I Join Norwex?

Joining Norwex is of course a personal decision. As someone who has worked with multi-level marketing, it is possible to be successful in them. But I personally found the most success after I left and started tapping into my other marketing skills.

If you believe you’ve got what it takes for a marketing job online, but you’re not really certain about network marketing, you should check out affiliate marketing first.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a digital job where you connect potential buyers with products from sellers. It takes many of the same skills that network marketing. uses—like being personable and knowing how to sell a product—and puts them to use in funneling attention to the seller.

You’re not involved in the actual sale of the product at all and there is no expensive inventory to maintain. Instead, each time you direct a buyer to a seller, you get a piece of the sale.

How Do I Do That Exactly?

Affiliate marketers connect buyers and sellers by producing top-notch digital content. Have you ever watched a YouTube review on a kitchen gadget and then seen a link to buy it in the creator’s description box?

If you bought it after clicking that link, the creator got a small piece of the sale.

There are many types of content that you can use in affiliate marketing, including videos, social media posts on Instagram and Facebook, blog posts on your own website, and more. Most of these content creation hosts are free or low-cost, so you don’t have a huge startup cost like you would with Norwex direct selling.

If you’re a talented marketer whose got some creativity in their back pocket, content creation for affiliate marketing will be no problem.

Where Do I Learn More?

With me, of course, at Legendary Marketer. We host multiple courses that can teach you more about marketing online and how to use your skills to become a Legendary Marketer. We even offer a free course to get you started on this profitable online business.

Affiliate marketing takes some insider knowledge. We can give you advice about how often you should create content. You’ll also learn about getting hooked up with affiliate marketing programs to connect you with sellers in need of promotional content.

LimeLife Review: Can you Make Profits From Professional Make Up?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

When you see the long list of complaints filed with the Better Business Bureau about LimeLife, you might start to worry that making money selling their products isn’t possible. Worse still, you might feel like you’ve been roped into a scam.

Navigating any online business endeavor can be tricky, which is why we’re always looking for the latest research and tips on how to boost your marketing skills. Now, we’re going to take a closer look at one of the most popular MLMs in this LimeLife review.

To put your mind at ease right off the bat, we’ll cut to the chase: LimeLife is not a scam. It’s not a pyramid scheme. It’s a bonafide MLM that has been around for decades.

The trouble is that making money selling LimeLife products may not be as simple as it sounds. Read on to find out why in our latest on the truth about MLMs.

What Is LimeLife?

The name “LimeLife” is part of a more recent rebranding process and is a shortened version of the full company name: LifeLife by Alcone. Originally, the company was simply called “Alcone,” named after the founder and original CEO, Alvin Cohen. In 1952, Cohen started with a simple specialty shop in New York City, where he sold theatrical makeup to both stage and screen actors.

Around the turn of the century, Alcone underwent some serious restructuring. The company started expanding its line to include professional makeup for every-day use and expanding its salesforce to include an ever-growing direct sales team. In other words, the company transitioned from a brick-and-mortar business to an MLM.

Today, LimeLife continues to sell makeup as well as skincare products and tools of the makeup trade, such as makeup brushes, makeup remover, and even the occasional accessory.

What makes LimeLife products stand out? They’re all cruelty-free (meaning no animal testing is used in production) and as natural as they can be without affecting quality. LimeLife sellers, usually referred to as beauty guides, are quick to say that what you put on your skin will enter your bloodstream–and regardless of accuracy, it’s a line that drives interest in no- or low-chemical products.

What Makes Selling for LimeLife Appealing?

Why do people like selling for LimeLife? For a lot of LimeLife beauty guides, the journey starts with consumption of the products.

LimeLife offers all sellers a generous discount on LimeLife products and often provides products as “gifts” or incentives for good sales performance. If you enjoy LimeLife products, this may be reason enough to join the team.

Like any MLM, LimeLife also offers a possible lifestyle that more and more people are looking for. Selling LimeLife products gives you the freedom to set your own schedule and your workload. Technically, you don’t have a boss to answer to, although some upstream representatives may expect fairly regular communication.

Oh, and of course there’s the promise of money, which is the real driving force.

Discounted products, increased income, and the perfect work-life balance? What isn’t appealing about that? (Hint: the reality isn’t quite as dazzling as the idea.)

How Much Are LimeLife Beauty Guides Making?

If you’re considering signing up for LimeLife and have spoken with an active beauty guide or higher-up affiliated marketer, you’ve probably been told a lot of seemingly promising things. For example, you might have been told that with a starting commission of 20% on all sales, you can make hundreds of dollars in the first week. You may also have been told that the best way to get started is by reaching out to your family and friends to not only make sales but to build your downstream and earn even more money.

The question is, does that work? How much are LimeLife beauty guides making?

Truth be told, LimeLife’s income disclosure is more vague than most. They list a monthly rate that LimeLife sellers are making by rank, noting that beauty guides in training are making almost $50 a month while “Star Platinum Directors” (the highest-ranking sellers) are making almost $60,000 a month.

What they don’t say is how many of their sellers actually make it to that five-figure monthly salary and how many never make it past the training phase. They also don’t acknowledge whether or not those figures represent an average for sellers and if so, what the low end actually is. Chances are, the vast majority of LimeLife sellers aren’t going to make it past the mid-level status of beauty guide, who they claim are making $144 a month.

The Hard Truth About Teaming Up With LimeLife

The hard truth about teaming up with LimeLife is that it isn’t going to be easy. After making your initial investment of at least $99 and the monthly activation payment of $9.95, you may discover that you aren’t even breaking even. Why?

Selling any product, no matter what it is, takes marketing skills. Finding a massive market to tap into requires that you go well beyond your close friends and family and take to the internet. On top of all of that, you need to know how to convince interested buyers and possible downstream participants that they aren’t just interested in makeup, but they’re interested in LimeLife makeup.

How do you make that happen?

Go Beyond Our LimeLife Review and Learn Top Marketing Secrets

Now that you’ve read this LimeLife review, you’re probably wondering how you can either a) boost your sales by sticking with LimeLife or b) abandon LimeLife altogether and start your very own online business from scratch. Both realities are possible, as long as you have the right skills.

Stella & Dot Review: A Dazzling Choice for Jewelry Lovers?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

The story of Stella & Dot can seem a lot more inspiring than other MLM origin stories. Co-founder Jessica Herrin loved jewelry, loved the idea of running her own business, and wanted to find a new way for women to start earning. With over 30,000 ambassadors, it would appear that Herrin’s model was, in fact, appealing.

There’s just one thing–the business model Herrin came up with is far from new. Stella & Dot is, without a doubt, a multi-level marketing company. To a lot of people who have been down the MLM rabbit hole before, Stella & Dot can feel like a scam.

So, which is it? Is Stella & Dot an opportunity for jewelry lovers looking to make an income? Or is it a scam?

At Legendary Marketer, we’re always bringing you the latest and best tips for building your own online business. Now, we’re going to take a look at Stella & Dot and tell you everything there is to know about making money with this MLM–and if it’s possible.

What Is Stella & Dot?

Stella & Dot is a fashion company that was founded in 2007 by Jessica Herrin and Blythe Harris, the latter a former jewelry designer for Banana Republic. The company does not sell products in brick and mortar locations but instead, relies on a large, national team of affiliates who sell their products individually. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it is the basic model of any MLM.

What’s in it for the affiliates? Anyone who buys into Stella & Dot stands to make a 40% commission on sales. Plus, incentives and team-building also contribute to the income a Stella & Dot affiliate stands to make.

What Products Do Stella & Dot Ambassadors Sell?

Stella & Dot is known first and foremost for their name brand jewelry, although they also sell clothing and other accessories. In fact, a lot of their affiliates get in on the action because they already admire Stella & Dot products and want access to free and discounted jewelry. (Hosts of Stella & Dot sales parties can find themselves with up to $300 worth of free jewelry as well as a 50% discount on any other product they choose to purchase.)

Unlike a lot of MLMs’ product lines, Stella & Dot doesn’t charge outrageous prices for their products. In fact, more than half of the jewelry line is less than $50 a pop, which isn’t bad for a jewelry line that has gained prestige along with its popularity.

Is Stella & Dot a Scam Or an Opportunity?

Now, let’s get to the real question: is all of this a scam, or is it truly an opportunity for people to start making money from home? It depends on what you consider a scam.

Here’s the thing. Stella & Dot is a legitimate MLM and not a pyramid scheme. The fact that they have real products that you can sell to real people spares it from falling into that full-blown scam territory.

That being said, it’s easy to get pulled into any MLM expecting to get rich quick only to discover that it isn’t that simple, after all. If someone tells you that you’re going to start pulling in thousands in a matter of weeks and you barely break even, you might feel like you got scammed. In the end, you have to know how to play the game to make money with any MLM, and that includes Stella & Dot.

To get a better idea of how this all works, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of becoming a Stella & Dot affiliate. Then, we’ll get into what it is that you need to know if you want your Stella & Dot hustle to turn into a profit.

Stella & Dot Pros

The biggest pro of selling for Stella & Dot is the same pro that brings anyone to the world of online selling. You get to work on your own time and set your own hours without answering to a boss.

Another positive thing this MLM has going for them is that they don’t make their affiliates invest a ton of money to sell. To join the ranks of other affiliates (referred to as Stylists by Stella & Dot), you can expect to pay about $200 upfront. However, Stella & Dot will handle all warehousing and order fulfillment, which means that you don’t have to buy what you sell and vice versa.

Stella & Dot Cons

The biggest con of selling for Stella & Dot is that making a real income isn’t likely. By looking at their 2019 income disclosure, you’ll see that about 70% of their affiliates are making an average of $1,100 a year. Less than 1% are making the six figures you may have been hoping for.

Why is it so hard to make money selling for Stella & Dot? For starters, the company doesn’t provide a lot of help in that department. They may tell you to reach out to your family and friends, ask them if they want to buy jewelry, and find out if they want to jump in as part of your downstream.

When you’re not sure where to find interested buyers (and potential sellers), you’re going to saturate your own market almost immediately. In other words, you’re going to run out of people to ask. In order to really get things moving, you’re going to need to know how to market yourself (and your Stella & Dot products) online, where the market is vast and limitless.

The Secret to Boosting Any Online Business Endeavor Is Marketing

Stella & Dot isn’t a pyramid scheme and by most accounts, it isn’t a scam. It’s pretty much your run-of-the-mill MLM. The problem is that most people aren’t going to strike gold with any MLM unless they know the secrets to online marketing.

AdvoCare MLM Review: How Much Money Can You Really Earn As an Ambassador?

March 9, 2021 by David Sharpe Leave a Comment

Are you considering signing with Advocare as a distributor to make some extra money each month? Have you always dreamed about owning your own business? Or, maybe you just want to earn a bit extra each month to pay down some bills or take a fun trip.

If this is you, then you’re in the right place. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about Advocare, their payment structure, and a better alternative to making money in your sleep.

What Is AdvoCare?

Advocare is a health and wellness company offering weight loss and energy supplements to its customers. You’ve probably seen the commercial with athletes promoting their drinks or shakes. Now, you’re wondering if it can help you pay down some bills and maybe even quit your day job.

Advocare is known for using quality ingredients in its products and its clients seem to rave that they work wonders. However, Advocare also made the news recently when it was sued for operating as a pyramid scheme.

A pyramid scheme is when a multi-level marketing company stops focusing on encouraging their distributors to sell their product and recruit their downline. Instead, they only recruit to grow their income.

Pyramid schemes are illegal in the U.S. and punished by the FTC, which Advocare was in 2019. However, Advocare can still operate as a business by selling its products.

Even now, many distributors continue to run their business by selling drinks and shakes to their friends and family. Let’s take a look at how they do it.

How to Make Money From Advocare

No AdvoCare review would be complete without fully analyzing the company’s payment structure. You can make some money with this program, so let’s dive into how exactly it works.

AdvoCare changed its payment plan due to the FTC findings in 2019. Now, distributors can only make money on the product that they sell. From what we could find, that percentage is about 20-40% for each sale.

At the time of this writing, the 24-day Jumpstart package is $193, making the commission between $38-77. To reach five-figure months at the top range of the commission would require a distributor to sell 129 of these Jumpstarts every month.

Now that the AdvoCare commission rates can’t include your downline, it’s much more difficult to hit this rank. If you don’t have hundreds of friends interested in purchasing regularly, you might be out of luck for quitting your day job.

A Better Option Over an Advocare MLM

Instead of signing up for a network marketing scheme that will convince you to target all your friends until they either sign up or stop taking your calls, consider affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is when you refer products that you use and love to your followers online. The companies of those products then pay you a small commission for each sale that is made through your personal affiliate link.

If you love to share all the great finds you come across, then affiliate marketing is a great option that can help you build a successful business. The best part is that you can do it from home in your spare time! Over time, with hard work, you can build a business that could replace your full-time job and allow you to live the life you’ve always dreamed about.

If you were considering AdvoCare because you love health and fitness, don’t worry. You can still work in the health and nutrition niche while also helping others to get healthy and working from home.

There are plenty of great products available on the market that you can suggest on your website and social media accounts. With affiliate marketing, you earn a small commission with each sale without costing the consumer any extra money.

Health and wellness will always be one of the top niches in any business model, online or off. If you love the health and wellness field, why not consider investing your time and energy into your own business instead of someone else’s?

Ultimately, if you’re still considering buying thousands of dollars worth of products that will sit in your garage all summer, consider an online business instead. Stop worrying about markups and commissions and start building your online audience today.

How to Make It Happen

At this point, you might be wondering how you too can start an affiliate-based business in your spare time.

With affiliate marketing, you’re still using the same sales tactics as MLM businesses. You’re simply sharing amazing products that you use and love.

When you build your business online, you aren’t confined to your real-life friends and family. You can sell your products to anyone with an internet connection.

There are plenty of learning options available to you so you can learn everything you need to know about affiliate marketing. The best part is that none of them will require four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition.

So, take the time to build your audience online through your website and social media profiles. Then, share the products you already use and love using your affiliate links.

If you love health and wellness, then stay in this niche but build your business online. This way, you aren’t confined to selling physical products to friends and family. Affiliate marketing is growing every day and can provide you a great side income to pay down debt or finally go on that exotic vacation.

Don’t worry if you feel unsure about building your online business or even creating an online profile.

All you need is the vision and the drive to start your business on the side of your full-time job. Take a look at this amazing case study for all the inspiration you need!

Make the Best Decision for Your Life Today

If you want to sell products as a retail business from home, then AdvoCare could be a viable option for you.

However, if you would rather not hound your friends to try your drinks every time they come to visit, then consider building your business online.

If you’re ready to start your online business, then take the time to watch this free video. We’ll share everything you need to know about the best business model to build online, even for beginners.
