Alex Morton’s Jeunesse – where is the retail?
Can a leopard change its spots?
If Alex Morton’s recently published blueprint for his Jeunesse business is anything to go by, the answer is a blunt “no”.
Up until he left, Alex Morton was the poster-boy for Vemma. Behind the forced smiles and public Facebook displays of encouragement, there’s no denying that much of the mess Vemma is in now is attributable to Morton’s “Young People Revolution” brand of marketing.
Rather than see Vemma through, Morton jumped ship at the eleventh hour for Jeunesse. Jeunesse offered Morton a similar affiliate autoship-centric MLM opportunity, but without the FTC baggage.
Despite seven months or so of flying all over the US and Europe to try to justify however much Jeunesse paid him, Alexa traffic estimates suggest Jeunesse is still in a slump.
They’re not in bad shape, but clearly Morton’s many public rahrah sessions have thus far had little impact.
No doubt facing mounting pressure from Jeunesse management to perform, Morton published his next move on Facebook a few hours ago….
What my partner (one of THE best in the game under 30 & someone who will become a legend in this industry) and I did was invested nearly $50,000 into a system.
A proven track to run on that anyone can follow. We train you. We teach You. We motivate you AND We even do the selling for you. All through our Mobile app on your smartphone…
Tools. Specifically, affiliate recruitment tools.
Yep, for real. You will get a presentation website that has our best videos and all you have to do is share the link, and when your friends see it, they are going to want to know more. Boom.
Then we come in and answer their questions, help them get started, and you make money… Then we set them up with the same system and thats how these things really grow. It’s called duplication and leverage.
YPR has been renamed GenYoung and following on from Vemma, retail is still nowhere in sight.
Unless I’m missing something obvious, Morton’s plan to revive Jeunesse is an app with videos. The app is used as a marketing tool to recruit new Jeunesse affiliates. Newly recruited affiliates are encouraged to pay a fee for Morton’s app tool ($19 a month), which then sets them up to recruit new affiliates.
As long as everyone stays on monthly Jeunesse autoship, commissions roll.
Retail? What retail?
Despite this model already having failed in Vemma (after Morton made a boatload of cash and ditched the company), history looks set to continue to repeat itself in Jeunesse.
And if you’re wondering why Morton thinks this is going to work…
What I found was a company that did $1.1Billion in sales in its 6th year, they do 90+% of their sales outside of the US, majority in Asia, giving us (You and Me) a massive opportunity!!
If I may be so bold to offer up a moment of clarity: The reason Jeunesse gets away with the next to no retail affiliate autoship recruitment model in Asia, is because, and this is no secret, MLM regulation there is well over a decade behind the west.
The same model isn’t going to last long in the US, because it’s a pyramid scheme.
No amount of shouting at your viewers in hyped up to the eyeballs marketing videos will change that.
Alex’s “We’ll Do It All For You” approach to recruiting is interesting, only in that several leaders have tried it in the past and quickly worked out they have created more work than what it’s worth.
There’s a plethora of “we’re changing the game in MLM” cheerleaders going around, he seems to be another in that category. I think a lot of these guys and gals hopping from one company to another are starting to realize the magic dust they believe they have only works for a limited period of time.
Jeunesse is on a slide because anyone with an ounce of integrity knows they have manipulated, and continue to manipulate, the tree structure to suit those who want to play their way.
And don’t even get started on the backroom deals… anyway, several leaders have already made their way out of there so I’m pretty sure the idea of getting out early will hit the rest of them soon.
Let’s see…$19 per month times 3,000 or 4,000 clueless saps could turn into some nice residual income for a guy like Alex…no matter what happens to Jeunesse.
This guy STILL has ALLOT of learning to do. There is no shortcut to the shortcut.
The ONLY thing he is duplicating is people looking for an “easier way”.
This is called the law of diminishing returns.
so, alex morton has set up his own pyramid scheme under the jeunesse scheme, selling recruitment tools.
amway and herbalife had to stop its top distributors from selling tools for profit when they came under public scrutiny.
jeunesse is just turning a blind eye to the FTC heat on vemma’s autoship recruitment model, and herbalifes recent troubles. they wont stop alex morton, and neither will he stop himself from looking for trouble.
and just in case jeunesse and morton think that the fact that 90% of their business comes from outside the US makes them safe, they should remember that the FTC shut down vemma’s international operations too.
If I was him, I would stay on foreign soil a lot. And keep my $$ out of reach of the US authorities.
This guy is just begging to be made an example out of.
Of course, Almost all MLMs are pyramid schemes. The lack of action, beyond Vemma, is very disturbing.
Can’t blame them for not wanting to self-destruct.
I think one is showing the old version of jeunesses websites, last november a new one started which shows a different curve
alexa.com/siteinfo/jeunesseglobal2.com
….btw… I checked in at Jeunesse to explore on the business I left very quickly…
Dunno what they’re doing with the second domain, but all you’re seeing there is a new domain launched with existing traffic.
It’s not growth, it’s just getting up to par with the first domain. Otherwise it’s plateaud out the same.
j/w, where do you guys see that he is charging $19?
Was on the GenYoung website when I wrote the review. If it’s changed it changed after this article was published.
No your right, I brain-farted, i see it now
Jeunesse got the “pyramid accusation” in China… TV station went the full undercover shaky-cam video.
Apparently Jeunesse is operating illegally in China. This is an official Xinhua News production, which means it’s government sanctioned.
NOLINK://www.facebook.com/JusticeAlwaysLate/videos/550043941841147/
Video is kinda long, but basically they got the full treatement: “science” is baseless, sales is pure pyramid (recruit and earn).
The video upload date is the 25th of March. Hope they put something up in print this week that can be translated.
I can’t believe its taken this long for Jeunesse and its owners Randy Ray, Wendy Lewis and Rob Dawson to be exposed for their dishonesty and greedy business practices!
Apparently Jeunesse is doing business in China illegally, are you kidding me! They have been doing business illegally in China from day one!! That is how they have did all the sales that they have for the most part from the beginning!!
What company goes to a billion dollars in sales in this day and age selling me too products like they are in a same ol same ol binary compensation plan like they are? How do they do this?
Easy to figure out, you offer deals behind the scenes left and right to the key leaders who have contacts in China to do business there where they don’t know any better or know the reputations of these people and they don’t know all the deals that are happening.
They ship these people from China into meetings into Hong Kong and then run cash cards thru the leadership. They have been doing this from day one!!
Look at who the top income earner is Kim Hui from L.A.. They cut her a deal of 20k a month from day one, and she built the whole thing for them in China.
They also cut downline deals with Jason Caramanis to move organizations around from all over the world to pad his pockets so he would be there biggest deal cutter (BEHIND THE SCENES) so not linked to corporate.
Jason Caramanis is their boy and has been since the FFi days. They SECRETLY stole organizations from my distributors and put them under him so corporate (being Randy, Wendy and Rob Dawson) could load their pockets with backend money, but claim the company was going broke so they didn’t have to pay all their vendors who were sueing them for non-payment.
Then they left FFi in shambles and debt, and cherry picked the downline and started the Jeunesse company shell and left all the debt in FFi. Then they cherry picked the downline and cut deals left and right to get China going and that has funded the whole thing from day one.
They cut deals with old networkers in the u.s. all the time, but they never go anywhere cause everyone knows their reputation in the u.s. and they never stay. They just milk their backroom contracts as much as they can and leave.
Most of there offices worldwide they talk about were financed by FFi in the beginning. That’s how they moved so quickly internationally is because once again, they left the bad debt in FFi to screw all of its founders and key distributors in the beginning to pad their own pockets.
As far as them being in trouble in the u.s., they don’t care, they have all their money socked away in places like Panama including back up servers in Panama to keep running their scheme worldwide.
They would shut the door on the u.s. in a heartbeat if they didn’t think it would cause so much attention to their China scheme with lack of explanation.
Kind of like Randy Ray signed an agreement with the Florida.
AG’s office with FFi to not network market for a period of years, but yet here is his picture all over the Jeunesse website.
As more time goes by, people like Randy Ray, Wendy Lewis, Rob Dawson and Jason Caramanis will be exposed for what they really are. By the way, you’ll never find anything on Jason Caramanis online who is from L.A. also, because he stays hidden in the weeds.
He is by far one of the biggest scumbugs the industry has seen in the last 20 years! Anyone you talk to who knows him will tell you this.
What comes around, goes around….
Wow, so much of what Rev said is information that has been floating around for some time.
The deal making on behalf of the company by so-called ‘leaders’ is out of control. If every deal made in this company was in the open people would be shocked.
And it’s not just Caramanis, there are a few in the US and Australia that are becoming well known deal makers.
Word on the grapevine is Morton is now with iMarketsLive.
RIP Juenesse?
Morton announced he was leaving Vemma just over a year ago, like literally a year and a fortnight or so ago.
Guess that Jeunesse backroom deal was only for 12 months…
See everything Rev said above is true.
truth in advertising [TINA] has reported that in july 2016, a class action suit has been filed in the federal court, arizona, against jeunesse and naming:
alex morton is one of the named top distributors for receiving a backroom deal:
this^^ could be the reason morton has dumped jeunesse in a hurry.
jeunesse has been in a downslide according to its alexa ratings, and this lawsuit may just break its back.

Then whichever company he joined next should be worried as whatever he got… may be contagious! 😀
