I haven’t looked into Neways (hadn’t heard of them actually) but I’d be wary of any company that attempts to dictate to you what platforms you can and can’t market on.

Advertising should be up to you, the MLM company you join should be all about supporting you, not restricting you.

i am in neways and i have been doing the internet thing since we joined.

my problem is i don’t know on youtube which are real/legit neways australia posts about the products/company.

A word search is misleading. can’t seem to get information from the company in adelaide/upline about this one. have to keep trying on that one.

Uh have you actually joined the company yet? It sounds like you’ve joined nad are only now attempting to do research on the company.

Shouldn’t it be the other way around?

i read a review on polaris from a us lawyer and he said stay away from them as much as possible – they are no good. i didn’t realise until reading the other reply that they are interlinked with others.

lys/ls360 was a joke. i couldn’t sign in on launch day and still haven’t had any luck with them – upline reckons she has contacted them but they haven’t come back to me.

i am in neways and i have been doing the internet thing since we joined and only recently the company said it was ok for distributors to access social media to advertise on, network with, etc. my problem is i don’t know on youtube which are real/legit neways australia posts about the products/company.

I agree Oz…the ‘Give to the Gulf’ does look promising for Avant. The problem though, is that Brent and company left many in the dust at Liberty League which has created a lot of mistrust.

What I find interesting is that Polaris Global, GiveOpp, and Avant, in which the leaders and its leadership teams, are all related to Liberty League, seem to have a similar theme running. They are all putting their charity efforts out there loud and clear. For me, this raises a red flag.

It seems like more of a way to distract from the essence of each of these businesses. Charitable causes are in style right now, especially with all of the tragedies that we have witnessed over the last few years, and these companies have made this part of their marketing campaigns in a big way. It is very clever, and not to say that their giving isn’t a positive move, it is just that it is even more important to look behind the curtains at the actual business models.

This kind of marketing is highly emotional and can cloud the mind to also do one’s due diligence.

What comes to mind is the campaign I recently saw with Kentucky Fried Chicken teaming up with the Susan G. Komen fight for The Cure.

This team up made no sense…eating friedchicken to fight breast cancer? It painted this picture of KFC being a compassionate company who wants to do good in the world. Never mind that their food is a contributor to obesity which can have a negative impact to those with breast cancer.

There are many companies that are very philanthropic, have great products that actually have value which is what they are known for. They don’t have anything to hide, and giving back is part of the joy of being a successful company.

I could be completely wrong about this, but only time will tell.
