LiveSmart 360 in crisis? CEO begs members to stay

This is not a get rich quick scheme…this is not a hype company. This is a two to five year plan. I know one thing for sure and that is that there’s nothing more important when your building a business than commitment to yourself, commitment to the future and commitment to what you’re building. If [...]

Does low MLM startup cost = low risk opportunity?

One of the biggest turnoffs of a MLM business opportunity can be an extraordinarily high initial investment cost to new prospects. Despite still being lower than the initial investment cost of a traditional ‘brick and mortar’ business, due to the nature of MLM many potential leads still find it hard to get around. Realising this, [...]

The AutoXTen Review: Legally turn $10 into $199,240?

Make no mistake, the premise of a one time investment of ten dollars potentially turning into nearly two hundred thousand is an attractive proposition. Legalities and scams aside, the claim itself is definitely more than enough to warrant a closer look by someone and that’s exactly what AutoXTen are counting on to spread the word. [...]

The Secret’s James Arthur Ray guilty of manslaughter

One of the biggest criticisms I have of the MLM personal development niche is that it seems to be populated with self taught ‘feel good’ gurus. Whereas in the real world people look at credentials and education, in MLM all of this seems to go out the window in favour of liking what you hear. [...]

Javanomics reduces Javita to a numbers game

Javanomics is the official training division of the recently launched MLM coffee company, Javita. I’m still not entirely sure when Javanomics plan to launch, but the launch date must be getting nearer as we’re starting to see more and more promotional and training material being released. Last week I covered what Javanomics are calling the [...]

Javita marketing emphasises top member drawback

Back when I first looked at the Javita business opportunity, I identified one of major drawbacks potential distributors were going to face was in the amount of product required to be given out as samples. When we decide if a coffee is good or not, do we necessarily care where or how it’s made? No. [...]

Is success in MLM simply a matter of time?

When it comes to success in MLM on the part of the distributor, associate, marketer or whatever you want to call yourself, there seems to be two schools of thought. On one side we have those that believe you either have it or you don’t. That’s not to say that if you don’t have it [...]

WMI’s Kip Herriage predicts end of universe by 2013

I’m no financial advisor but appreciate that in the afermath and continuing troubled economic times we find ourselves in, there’s an abundance of economic gurus out there taking advantage of fear, speculation and uncertainty. One such person is Wealth Masters International co-founder Kip Herriage.

Qnanza Review: Coupons + member driven advertising

Over the last few years the online coupon marketplace has grown significantly. Starting off with sites that just published the same coupons you’d find on the back of your receipts or in those booklets dropped in your mailbox, the niche has grown so much that it’s now a fully fledged industry of its own. With [...]

AdMatrix Review: Holland enters Indian scam market

With the news yesterday of India applying laws dating back to 1956 to modern internet companies, it seems India is set for a flood of offshore based companies entering the market – each wanting their share of India’s booming pyramid scheme scam sector. One of the newer startups is the AdMatrix, based out of Holland [...]
