If they get 15,000 sign ups then there will be a lot of people disappointed.

Such a difficult market place and so easy to get caught up in the hype of making money online.

My only question is WHEN would the FTC be shutting this one down? I give it two years tops.

I’ve already concluded that the reason why so many people fail with multi level marketing is because they don’t know marketing and aren’t taught the proper way to market.

And you’re right about the products being a front because all I see is a way to move money through the organization especially from people joining. If you buy something you’re more than likely going to be pushing Finish Line Network and your money goes three ways – one to your referrer, another two levels up to his referrer and some to a bonus pool which is distributed within FLN. Not a lot of sales will be purely outside the organization so that makes it a pyramid scheme by the FTC definition.

I’d like to see who wants to argue with me that this isn’t a pyramid scheme.

Yeah, MLM compensation plans worry me a bit. There’s always some confusing element to it, I’m not sure why this is.

Yeah, stuff like this only gives our industry a bad name but it’s MLM anyway which already has a bad rep. Almost any MLM has to escape the scrutiny and judgement against being called a pyramid scheme and this one doesn’t.

If you can’t see any value in something other than the opportunity to make money then it’s a pyramid scheme worth staying away from. This isn’t any different from failed MLMs like Empower Network, Digital Altitude and MOBE which had products that no-one would really pay the kind of money they were asking for if the opportunity wasn’t there to resell them.

Most newbies don’t really understand these things so it’s best to avoid the headache and negative experience.

Yeah it’s not worth it as a starting point and even for experienced marketers, I don’t think there is much value other than the attached opportunity. Even that, if you look closely, you’ll just be tricking others into joining a pyramid scheme.

Yes, you can definitely make money if you’re an expert. That doesn’t make it legit though. Is a pyramid scheme a scam? Because this one is a pyramid scheme.

I will absolutely discourage any beginner from getting into this. The part I hate the most is that you have to buy the products to sell them (they say you don’t have to but the situation that puts you in isn’t ideal). So you’re losing money even before you start.

Well, it helps to be transparent if you’re selling a product. I absolutely hate when some unknown voice over in a video goes – here’s my mansion and my 6 lambos – and doesn’t tell you what you’re getting.

So, transparency of an offer is the best way to view a new product.
Thank you.
