KTC Global operates in the travel MLM niche. The company does not provide a corporate address on its website.

Bobby and Michelle Schaffer are presented as KTC Global’s founders.

The earliest MLM activity from the Schaffers I was able to confirm was them co-founding NouVara in 2011:

NouVara appears to have marketed skincare and dietary supplements.

A 2016 court filing suggests the Schaffers (right) may have been involved in Xyngular prior to NouVara but I wasn’t able to definitively confirm.

The other founders improperly created and operated a company named Nouvara that competed with Xyngular. [pgs 17-18]

After NouVara collapsed the Schaffers joined Isagenix as promoters:

2020 was a bad year for Isagenix. We had the Modere raiding lawsuit, the Amazon/eBay racket and Canada product recall.

That same year the Schaffers left Isagenix to launch Girl Power Alliance. Later on a Real Men Alliance was launched, before both “alliances” were merged into Kingdom Alliance.

Our Kingdom Alliance is an MLM opportunity that leans heavily into religion.

From Our Kingdom Alliance’s website;

While the story of Kingdom Alliance may have been decades in the making, it truly began in 2019. Bobby and Michelle had become elite leaders in the network marketing profession.

They had earned multiple seven figures, helped thousands of people become leaders themselves, and earned hundreds to millions due to their leadership.

Michelle felt the call of God in her life to change directions completely. They walked away from the seven-figure business they had built as distributors.

Michelle knew that God was calling her to the marketplace to create a community where women to grow together.

In June 2020, she launched Girl Power Alliance – a faith-forward membership where women would gather and grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.

In March of 2022 along with her husband, they re-launched Girl Power Alliance with additional resources for growth and a network marketing compensation plan.

In January of 2024, Real Men Alliance was born. We saw a need to provide the same resources and community for men.

Once both Girl Power Alliance and Real Men Alliance were growing separately, Bobby and Michelle knew that God was calling them yet again to evolve the company.

Since its foundation in 2020, the company has added ICF accredited certifications, academies, new resources for growth, and areas of expansion that God was using to build a rock-solid foundation for what was birthed in October 2024 … Kingdom Aliance. [sic]

One offering through Kingdom Alliance was “Kingdom Travel Club”, a discount travel platform:

Kingdom Travel Club is where the “KTC” in KTC Global’s name comes from.

Rather than an actual new MLM opportunity, KTC Global appears to just be a rebranding of Kingdom Alliance:

Both Kingdom Alliance and KTC Global run the same website design template. And the login link on KTC Global’s website redirects to Our Kingdom Alliance’s website:

It’s unclear why the Schaffers have launched KTC Global, but today we’ll be reviewing it as the latest iteration of Our Kingdom Alliance.

BehindMLM’s original Zilis review was published back in 2017.

The company was then headed up by co-founders Steven and Angie Thompson, with Steven being a former LiveSmart 360 promoter and executive.

Zilis had a large product range but the company’s MLM compensation plan unfortunately focused on autoship recruitment.

This is from the conclusion of BehindMLM’s 2017 Zilis review;

Zilis has some serious compliance issues they need to address.

Zilis have a whole sections of their compensation plan dedicated to direct and indirect affiliate recruitment! Recruitment commissions in MLM are the defining factor of a pyramid scheme.

In June 2025 a BehindMLM reader suggested we update our review, owing to Zilis having a “completely new product line and comp plan.”

With that in mind, today we’re revisiting Zilis for an updated review. [Continue reading…]
