For people conducting their due diligence on the GiveOpp business opportunity there’s not a lot to go on.

Scattered across the internet are a few promotional videos and tens, if not hundreds of press release articles telling you how much of a difference GiveOpp are making around the world.

Business wise however and just what exactly the GiveOpp opportunity is itself are virtually non-existent.

Over the past few months I’ve done my best to piece together what I’ve been able to find and make some educated guesses along the way.

Despite my best efforts however there are some large pieces of the puzzle surrounding the GiveOpp business opportunity that still remain missing.

Until now. [Continue reading…]

Bon Voyage 1000 launched two weeks ago on July 14th. The company originally caught my eye because it’s being marketed as having originated ‘from the same group that created the Reverse Funnel System‘.

Having just written about a possible resurrection of the Reverse Funnel System (RFS) via GiveOpp, I was naturally curious to see if these claims held any weight.

Unfortunately beyond the marketing claims I have as of yet been unable to clarify whether or not the company was indeed the brainchild of Don Glanville and Ty Coughlin. It is clear though that some Bon Voyage 1000 marketers appear to be employing the Reverse Funnel System itself to sell the newly launched opportunity.

More important then whether or not the RFS is being utilised however was what I learnt about Bon Voyage 1000 itself in conducting my research. At the end of the day I was left sitting here wondering how this business opportunity was even remotely legal. [Continue reading…]

Despite having seemingly launched on July 4th, GiveOpp seems to have had a pretty non-existent launch as far as MLM companies go.

GiveOpp still has no solid web presence and marketing wise the company seems to be relying solely on it’s few distributors to get the word out. As far as company support goes if I was marketing the product I’d be pulling my hair out at the lack of it given by GiveOpp.

…or would I?

Over the last few weeks a number of things have started to add up regarding GiveOpp and might explain the deafening silence from the company itself. [Continue reading…]

Most MLM advertising is usually geared to new MLM startups. Companies that are either in pre-launch or have just recently launched need to get the word out there and establish brand recognition fast. This usually means they actively engage in a wide range of marketing tactics in the hope they go viral.

On the other side of that coin you have the established MLM companies. These are heavyweights that have been around for years, are well known and have thus far stood the test of time.

Monavie is one of those companies. Monavie retail a wide range of juice products containing a ‘wide array of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients, as well as other beneficial ingredients like Wellmune, plant-derived glucosamine, and plant sterols‘.

You probably don’t know what half that stuff is and neither do I. Despite that however Monavie have been around the MLM scene for five and a half years which for an MLM company is impressive.

Joining an established company however isn’t always a promise or guarantee of replicating success. Today I want to look at the top 5 marketing challenges of joining Monavie. [Continue reading…]

‘Penn & Teller: Bullshit’ is a weekly American tv show hosted by comedy duo Penn Jilette and Teller.

The show revolves around exposing fraud and popular common public belief. It’s sort of like MythBusters but covers a scope well beyond just that of science.

It’s also much more in your face.

Being a cable tv program Penn and Teller: Bullshit contains much more profanity and nudity then your average television show, fortunately it’s mostly tasteless and the duo use both to great effect in ridiculing whatever the shows particular weekly topic might be.

Not usually a viewer of Pen & Teller, I did tune into this weeks episode after learning it was going to be about ‘easy money’ with a particular focus on MLM business opportunities.

Here’s how it went. [Continue reading…]

Given the level of secrecy surrounding the GiveOpp business opportunity I wasn’t quite sure what to expect come launch date July 4th.

Up until now, unless you were willing to divulge personal information to a member of the company, specific information such as detailed information on company products and the compensation plan have remained tightly under wraps.

Amazingly July the 4th came and went and it would appear nothing’s changed. [Continue reading…]

I received an email recently from a BehindMLM reader asking about the company SugarMums;

Hi there,

I am enjoying your new blog.

I have had an enquiry about Sugar Mums. From what I am aware, they sell vitamins/diet shakes/the whole range of ‘health’ products with apparently some revolutionary ingredient.

Do you have any further information, can you please let me know what it’s all about if possible please?

Not having heard of SugarMums before I hit the net in search of answers;

Here’s what I found. [Continue reading…]

Unless you’re in the top bracket of an MLM or Network Marketing company, traditionally you don’t make a lot of money. Despite numerous startups over the years covering a variety of products and compensation plans, a common trait amongst these companies are that a small core of elite members take home the lion’s share of revenue.

These associates are usually the ones who jumped on the opportunity first, or brought with them insanely long downlines that they accumilated during their time in other MLM companies over the years. In short not at all representative of your average associate within the company.

Unfortunately if their first month of commissions is anything to go by, LiveSmart 360 doesn’t appear to be any different. [Continue reading…]

Magic Power Coffee markets its product as a ‘100% natural sex enhancement product’. The company claims its coffee drink contains Epimedium (horny goat weed), Ginseng, wolfberry (goji berry) and a host of other natural ingredients. The coffee is designed to be a healthy natural alternative to commonly used chemical enhancements such as viagra or cialis (tadalafil).

After examining Magic Power Coffee, last week the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) went public with its findings. Turns out Magic Power Coffee isn’t natural after all.

Infact it’s potentially downright dangerous. [Continue reading…]

After months of speculation on whether or not Polaris Global would meet their July deadline to ship Beyond Freedom Evolution: Decision, the company sent out an email yesterday advising those that had purchased the package that it would indeed be shipped out on June 30th.

Unfortunately unless you bought Decision after January 2010, you’re looking at some hefty shipping fees to have the package sent to you. [Continue reading…]
