The product ranges marketed through MLM are as diversified as the number of companies selling them. Targeting the high-end luxury goods market, and hoping to bring a little upper-end department store magic to the MLM sector is Global Wealth Trade.

You wouldn’t think there’d be much of a market for luxury end goods in the current global climate so with products priced well into the thousands, is Global Wealth Trade a MLM company even worth looking at?

I’ve been following Speak Asia for a while now on BehindMLM, and whilst the coverage has mostly been negative, as expected when you’re dealing with a ponzi scheme, there have been moments of positivity.

These moments have come mostly in the form of YouTube video releases from Speak Asia’s CEO Manoj Kumar. Promising a wide variety of things, with the end of 2011 just around the corner, I thought it’d be worthwhile to hedge the credibility of Kumar going forward into 2012, based on his performance in 2011.

So how has Kumar stacked up? [Continue reading…]

When I first visited the Tripazon website, it was refreshing to see a different approach to your traditional heavy MLM sales pitch.

There was no cheesy looking stock photos of smiling executives, nobody sitting on a beach with their laptops looking pleased with themselves, or images of tons of money trying to get me excited. Instead what you had was a storybook approach that you scrolled down to learn more.

It did feel a bit childish and simplistic but in an industry where I’m often left scratching my head a few times trying to understand the complexities of the various businesses I review, it was a welcome change.

So, top marks to Tripazon for that. Being in the MLM travel niche though, ultimately their biggest challenge is going to be proving they aren’t just a membership club like to many travel club based MLMs are.

So how do Tripazon stack up?

Remember a few years back there was that story doing the rounds about ‘The Million Dollar Homepage’?

For those that can’t, the basic idea was that back in 2005, Alex Tew created a website that sold advertising space. His website was essentially a giant advertising billboard featuring advertising space in the form of pixels.

Featuring 1 million pixels for sale at a cost of $1 each, following extensive media coverage of the idea, Tew managed to sell all one million pixels and net himself a cool one million.

Given that it was the idea itself behind The Million Dollar Homepage that attracted people and the fact that this idea could easily be replicated, within days (hours?) clone sites popped up trying to replicate Tew’s success.

Naturally, one the phenomena of the idea itself wore off, these sites became a dime a dozen and the concept lost all momentum (the success of Tew’s original site aside).

Fast forward six years and although one would think they’re a little late to the party, PxSense seek to combine the pixel advertising model with MLM.

For most people a workout is a trip to the gym, playing your favourite sport or just doing a series of excercises around the house.

Costly, time consuming and because of this, for most people unachievable.

Seeking to bring you a workout they claim only takes 7 minutes and needs to be done 3 times a week comes the 7 Minute Workout. Read on for a full review. [Continue reading…]

A few people have been wanting to link the December 27th Speak Asia CEO Manoj Kumar YouTube video but apart from the original comment on here, I’ve been nuking the others. The video Kumar uploaded was in Hindi and being an English language blog, there wasn’t really all much to discuss.

Since the video was uploaded though, between running from the EOW and dodging their phonecalls, someone over at AISPA has been kind enough to upload an English translation of Manoj Kumar’s latest YouTube rant.

As usual Manoj Kumar provides little substance, a bunch of emotive language designed to invoke the us vs. them mindset of panelists so that they only believe whatever crap the company feeds them and misdirection.

Here’s the blow-by-blow. [Continue reading…]

The principle of the Do Nothing Downline Club is simple:

Do Absolutely NOTHING and make money starting today!

Despite the obvious eyebrow raising skepticism this statement naturally evokes, the owner(s) of the Do Nothing Downline Club market their MLM opportunity by signing up, doing nothing and then just watch the income roll in.

After stating this, then they go ahead and tell you what you actually have to do:

You can Make Money Right away!! We have many different ways you can make money. Get Paid Fast!

Earn by Referring Other Members(Free Members Also)

Earn By Completing Tasks, Offers and Clicks

Earn By Spillover and Our Infinity Matrix

Earn From Our Chosen Program

Now I don’t about you, but that certainly doesn’t sound like “doing nothing” to me. So what’s the deal here?

For much of December we’ve been wondering what India’s EOW have been up to and how their criminal investigation into Speak Asia has been progressing.

As it stands now the last we’d heard was that they’d arrested AISPA President Melvin Crasto and Speak Asia’s acting COO, Ashish Dandekar, and were holding them in custody, suspecting the pair of being Speak Asia officials and not just the lackeys they claimed to be.

Then, yesterday afternoon the following news began to circulate amongst panelists via Facebook:

Kalyan Waskel: FRIENDS… I GOT SOME NEWS WITH RELIABLE SOURCES… TOMMAROW ON 26TH DECEMBER WE CAN GET SOME SURPRISE NEWS.. SO.. JUST WAIT….

Harsh Vora: It is learned from reliable the source that this year SANTACLOSE will distribute the special chocolete named “EoW ” on monday , 26-12-2011.

Now personally I have no idea what the ‘special chocolate named EOW’ Senior Panelist Harsh Vora was referring to is, but as promised – this morning the Times of India put out a much anticipated update on the status of the EOW’s criminal investigation into Speak Asia.

An article that probably reveals more about these senior panelist cheerleaders and their activities then they’re comfortable with. [Continue reading…]

Usually companies try to mask their lack of focus on retail with products that nobody wants, or hide the money shifting game with complex compensation plans, or worse – deny the existence of either altogether.

Every so often however an opportunity rolls around that just flat-out doesn’t care.

First heard in the Supreme Court of India on the 9th September 2011, Solomon James’ writ 383 is a petition signed by 115 panelists demanding the money owed to them by Speak Asia.

Currently castrated by multiple criminal investigations being held into the company, Speak Asia stopped paying its members in May of this year, before transferring over a hundred million USD out of India shortly after.

This money, which belonged to the Speak Asia’s members, hasn’t been seen since it was transferred out of India.

As the James writ 383 petition progressed in the Supreme Court, eventually the court initiated the formation of the Lahoti Committee. Led by former Chief Justice Ramesh Chandra Lahoti, the court ordered that the Lahoti Committee ‘explore the possibility of an amicable settlement between the parties‘.

Since May, all banks in India have been actively blocking any official transfers of money from Speak Asia’s known bank accounts into India. These banks are completely aware of the criminal investigations into Speak Asia and are not willing to shoulder the liability should the company be found guilty of fraud upon conclusion of said investigations.

To date, this has not changed. Thus upon hearing about the formation of the Lahoti Committee I surmised as much, charging that the Lahoti Committee was in all probability, a procedural waste of time.

Following the first Lahoti Committee meeting in November, subsequent meetings have been held in secret, with most finer details of the discussion being kept from members of the public and Speak Asia’s own members.

One detail of the Committee meetings that has leaked out however (proof evident that those involved are only leaking information that benefits them), is that the EOW (the main authoritative body investigating Speak Asia) have not been present.

That changed last Monday when it was widely reported (more proof that those attending will only leak information that benefits them), that the EOW did indeed attend. [Continue reading…]
