The Perfect System Review: Old-school ebook library pyramid
The Perfect System’s website is a lengthy marketing pitch, supposedly authored by “Bill Anderson”.
On LinkedIn Anderson goes by “William Anderson”. His profile has him operating out of the US state of Georgia.
Anderson (right) runs his various ventures under the branding Network 6000.
On The Perfect System’s website Anderson claims to be a “30+ year marketing expert”.
Based on its website domain and social media profile, I believe The Perfect System originally went by “Simple Cash Daily”.
Outside of The Perfect System I wasn’t able to put together an MLM history for Anderson. This is likely due to the generic name.
Anderson not having an MLM footprint left me skeptical but I’m satisfied he’s an actual person.
Outside of Network 6000 Anderson appears to have made a name for himself in BBQ circles.
Read on for a full review of The Perfect System’s MLM opportunity.
The Perfect System’s Products
The Perfect System has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market The Perfect System affiliate membership itself.

The Perfect System has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market The Perfect System affiliate membership itself.
The Perfect System affiliate membership provides access to an e-book library.
The Perfect System’s Compensation Plan
The Perfect System affiliates sign up and pay a $997 fee. They are then charged $40 a month.
The Perfect System takes these fees and uses them to pay recruitment commissions.
Recruitment commissions are paid down two levels of recruitment (unilevel):
- the initial $997 affiliate membership fee generates a 5% commission across two levels (personal recruitment and affiliates recruited by those you recruit)
- the ongoing monthly $40 affiliate fee is paid 40% across two levels
Joining The Perfect System
The Perfect System affiliate membership is $997 and then $40 a month.
Conclusion
From its horrendously long marketing copy to the bundling of an ebook library, The Perfect System hearkens back to ebook pyramid schemes of the late 2000s.
The marketing copy, complete with yellow highlights, is lengthy by design. Anyone who makes it to the bottom of Anderson’s rambling is easy hanging fruit.
The ebook library is a weak attempt at pseudo-compliance.
This is just a two tier commission structure so it is not considered a MLM program.
Because of this and the fact there is a real product, it can never be considered an illegal pyramid scheme.
Members will continue to pay their membership fees because if they cancel their membership, they will not receive their affiliate commissions anymore.
Again, this is the type of pseudo-compliance we’d see back in the late 2000s to early 2010s. The FTC has made it clear that MLM opportunities that don’t generate significant retail sales are pyramid schemes.
By design The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme, with 100% of commissions paid out tied to recruitment.
As for the “it’s not an MLM” hogwash, The Perfect System pays out across two levels. Two is more than one, making The Perfect System a multi-level marketing opportunity.
In addition to being a pyramid scheme, Anderson is also promising The Perfect System affiliates “guaranteed paid signups”. This is another potential violation of the FTC Act (deceptive marketing).
Speaking of the FTC, on The Perfect System’s website Terms and Conditions page, a link to an FTC Disclosure statement is provided.
Buried in that document is this:
If you purchase a business opportunity from Network6000/The Perfect System, your contact information can be disclosed in the future to other potential buyers.
Sounds like a great way to receive spam for the life of your email address.
The same FTC Disclosure statement also warns The Perfect System has no “cancellation or refund policy”.
Once you hand your money over to a pyramid scheme, it’s gone.
Finally Bill Anderson is also using The Perfect System to funnel potential victims into other scams.
Dubbed the “Money Multiplier”, Anderson is currently promoting
- Silver Partners for Profits – $495 “crowdfunding” pyramid scheme run by TJ Rohleder
- Touchstone Success Network – $35 and then $25 a month pyramid scheme run by Danny Pollard
- Icanget2 – $29.95 a month pyramid scheme (reviewed by BehindMLM in 2016, price seems to have gone up)
- 98 Unlimited – $980 a month cash gifting scheme
Like The Perfect System, math guarantees the majority of participants in all of these scams will lose money.
Hello:
Ya’ll should get your facts right… false claims/reviews like this are slanderous and may get you sued.
You did get a few things wrong…
You think all MLMs are pyramid schemes – this is clearly not the case – maybe somebody should shut down Amway.
TPS is not a MLM – I don’t even have a “pyramid” – just a two tier affiliate program.
If affiliate programs are illegal, maybe someone should call Amazon and tell them to close their doors.
And last time I checked, eBooks were real products – Clickbank sells ebooks all day long and makes a ton of money doing it. Besides 95% of our products are NOT eBooks – our product is 100’s of great business plan ideas. Real businesses that I have seen for myself working and making money.
We do have a retail only option that sells quite a bit – of course you ignored that.
Thanks,
Bill Anderson
False.
MLM comp plan = MLM company.
Whether they are or not is irrelevant. Attaching ebooks to a pyramid scheme doesn’t make pyramid schemes legal.
Neither Amway, Amazon or Clickbank are running an ebook library pyramid scheme. And legitimacy via association isn’t a thing in any case.
Which are presented in PDF? Yeah it’s an ebook library.
Correct, because it has nothing to do with the MLM opportunity.
What happened Bill? Less than a month after we expose your pyramid scheme you go and delete your The Perfect System website?
Aww.
To be fair it was a bit of a 1990’s throwback, maybe he’s rebranding soon ™.
When I first read this review, I was reminded of the opening patter of the Sheryl Crow song “All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun)”
[I hope I remembered the words right. I’m not a big Sheryl Crow fan, but I do like that song.]
So I wonder… what did happen to William? Or Bill, or Billy, or Mac, or Buddy? Only two weeks after his strident defense and thinly-veiled legal threats, he pulls the plug?
I wonder if he’s ever had a day of fun in his whole life? [Disclaimer: no I do not wonder that, nor do I care.]
I have to stick up for Bill Anderson on this one. I’ve known him for over three years now and he is the only honest person I have met online.
Whether his program is mlm or not, he’s the only person online that is truly trying to help others at this whole money making thing.
Not sure why you posted above that his website in gone. That’s not true, I log in daily. You should delete that comment. It’s a lie.
One thing Bill does do that others do not, is that he continually makes changes to his program in order to make it the best that it can be. I’ve experienced more than a few changes over the years. All for the better.
I do appreciate you being tough on money making programs and I do visit this site often for your reviews. If you knew Bill personally as I do, you’d be a little easier on him.. lol.
Well then, Bill’s program must not be a pyramid scheme because my money isn’t gone. Many other members are also earning a profit.
In 2020 Bill helped me earn $800 profit. So far for 2021 I’ve earned $1,320 profit. It takes up to one year to start seeing results.
Not game changing income, but Bill never promises get rich quick. I’ve been in this online money making arena for over ten years now and have never earned a profit in any program until I joined Bill’s program. That’s why I’m still a paying member.
I also continue to reach out to as many people as possible and ask them to show me if they’re in profit with their program. So far, not one person can show me that they are actually earning some extra income from other programs.
Bill also offers a service similar to yours. He also investigates other money making programs and determines if they are scams or not. He then posts them in the members forum. Last I checked he has reviewed 78 programs.
I’ve read posts from many members thanking him for saving them thousands of dollars. So the forum is also a valuable service for paying members. I do wish he would put more effort into promoting the members forum.
Knowing Bill, he will not come back here and reply. He has said his peace.
Thanks for your review of his program. I do enjoy reading your all of your posts.
How long you’ve known Bill for is irrelevant. The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme and as the admin, that makes Anderson a scammer.
SimpleCashDaily went down shortly after this review was published. I see now that there’s a new website up you’re here pretending it never went down.
Please, I’m not expecting much from pyramid scammers but blatant misrepresentations aren’t going to get you anywhere.
Regardless of whether you’re able to steal from people who joined after you, the fact is what you paid in was stolen by people who joined the Perfect System before you. I.e. your money is gone.
Whether he does or doesn’t, The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
Whether he does or not, The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
Also Anderson’s Money Multiplier was a list of scams to sucker victims out of even more money.
Anderson’s due-diligence demonstrably doesn’t extend past promoting scams he can recycle existing victims across to steal more money from.
Whether he does or not, The Perfect System is a pyramid scheme in which the majority of participants are mathematically guaranteed to lose money.
So Bill Berg, who are you that we are just to “believe” everything you have said? What credentials do you have that will support us “believing” everything you have said? Who’s going to come and vouch for you like you have for Bill Anderson, and what credentials will they have to prove what they say is true about you?
I haven’t known Bill Anderson for 3 years like you claim, but I do know him and obviously better than you. You see I learned everything I needed to know about Bill Anderson just by reading his post.
You see I know he is full of BS. I knew that with his first three sentences he wrote. in case you missed them, let me quote him:
You see the opening statement claiming that false claims/reviews like this are slanderous and may get you sued. First, it is a veiled threat while trying to sound reasonable. The problem is even deeper and it is this. The review is not slanderous. More importantly if this was a real company, the attorney for the company would have contacted the owner of this blog not Bill Anderson coming here and posting half-truths.
The other major reason why I know he is full of BS is his claim that this is not a MLM program, when its compensation plan is exactly MLM. If Bill doesn’t know he is running a MLM, then he has no clue what isn’t or in this case “is” a MLM company.
Then we had you coming here to prop up Bill Anderson and to again sound reasonable, but all the while doing a lot of talking and just words not based in facts.
Now it remains to be seen who’s next to come and vouch for Bill and his MLM company that is not a MLM company according to him.
Wow… tough crowd. I guess when people are so one-sided, they’ll never be convinced of anything else. I can’t go through life thinking that way.
I like to be more open-minded and positive. It makes for a more enjoyable life.
Good on your for at least acknowledging
a. you don’t think about your victims and
b. you enjoy scamming people out their money.
Best of luck with it.
He refuses to accept ample evidence of an obvious scam, preferring to cling to his own warped world view, then calls all of us one-sided.
Ironic.
What I found funny was his claiming this is a “tough crowd.” I was being “polite” to him. Guess I should have shown him what “tough” really is in Ponzi-land.
Obviously not used to dealing with people that can think and use common sense, and are not gullible sheep hanging on his every word as gospel.
You also know he is new at this since he “gave up” so quickly. Nothing more than a budding wannabe Ponzi pimp.
Pure scam bill or will is full of shit I have been in this program for 7 months 0 sales and his guarantee is a lie.
Stay far away from this scam you have been warned!!!!
I agree with you, Michael. He calls out other scams, when he needs to add his to his own scam list.
Lol I would have been better off, buying Long term stocks.
Well, I’m glad I was able to help someone pay their bills, not a total loss, I suppose.
Aaaaand it’s down again.
#RIP for good this time or another reboot?
