AliveMax Scam – Not so Fast

AliveMax was started in 2009 by Nauder Khazan. According to AliveMax.com, Nauder Khazan has over 20 years experience as a distributor in the Network Marketing industry. Along with his wife, Melissa, they have been top income earners in several different programs. This is good for the distributor force because it always helps to have someone who is familiar with what it is like in the trenches.

The one thing I did find in my research is that Nauder is involved with another MLM, Stiforp.com that launched in August of 2011 (they have the same address). It is apparently an online marketing tools and systems offering. I am not reviewing Stiforp.com here and my only cause of concern would be if getting this company up and running might take away some of his focus on AliveMax. But this is not any kind of red flag that shouLd have you running out of the house screaming “AliveMax Scam, AliveMax scam”.

AliveMax Scam, with this Product line?

AliveMax is in the Health and Nutrition industry and its key selling point delivering its products by an oral spray. The concept it’s research has found is that 98% of the nutrients will be absorbed with the oral spray application. There are currently four varieties, a multivitamin, a vitality, a dietary, and an anti-aging oral spray. The anti-aging spray uses RESVERATROL, an all-natural compound found commonly in grapes, that has been the subject of over 2,000 research publications.

AliveMax also has two Skin care products, Face Lift Masque and 24K Gold Anti-Aging Serum. Both of these products use Aloe Vera.

AliveMax Scam, with this kind of Money?

AliveMax has 7 possible income streams. A Welcome Bonus (recruiting related), Retail Bonuses (retail related), Fast Start Bonuses (recruiting/retail related), Bulk Order Bonus (recruiting related), Dual Team Builing Cycle Bonus (recruiting related), Matching Bonus (recruiting related), and Leadership Pools (recruiting related). All seven of these potential income streams are typical of many MLM or Network Marketing companies, so ther is no AliveMax scam when it comes to the compensation plans.

AliveMax Scam, with this kind of Business Potential?

The figure that may get some folks worried about the possibility of an AliveMax scam is the recent (October 2011, latest month of figures) large 82.59 percent drop in online inquiries on AliveMax as tracked by NPros.com and MLMRanking.com. Both websites are MLM and Network Marketing industry tracking websites.

This could seem very large however, if you go to the sites you will see that interest in AliveMax for the previous two months was enormous. With the drop, AliveMax is now ranked 348 out of 685 home businesses actively tracked in their database.

From an Internet interest viewpoint (and my own research) AliveMax is being searched for 3,600 times a month, Resveratrol 90,500 times, and Aloe Vera 246,000 times. This would indicate a good interest in both the company and the ingredients/products the company offers.

AliveMax Scam, with this kind of Plan?

So there you have it, the company sounds fine, has in demand products, and has a good compensation plan. But there is one catch with the money. If you look back, pretty much every big income stream, long term income stream, and residual income stream was related to recruiting.

There is no doubt, with the current internet traffic for product related searches, you could create and generate a very good retail business, but if I am not wrong about you, you are looking for the big, long term, and residual income streams. The say good-bye to the boss income streams.

To do that you are going to need a steady stream of prospects.

Two common mistakes of network marketers is the belief that the products are so fantastic they will sell themselves and that friends, family, and strangers on the street will be as enthusiastic about both the product and opportunity as them.

If you’re involved with AliveMax, or if you’re considering becoming involved with AliveMax to make a few bucks on the side or because you have a passion for healthy living or the other AliveMax products great!

However if you’re getting involved with this company to make a full time substantial income in network marketing or direct sales you must understand principles of marketing and attraction. And you must recruit BUSINESS BUILDERS and serious entrepreneurs NOT just product customers.

What if I could show you how to create a steady stream of ambitious people (like yourself) actually chasing you down, asking you for your time, asking to join YOUR organization?

If you really want to be profitable in AliveMax, you’ll need to fully grasp how to CRUSH On-line lead generation. Have a look at the online marketing system I use to get 15-29 FREE leads on a daily basis PLUS earn money from individuals who don’t enroll in my primary business.

I hope you enjoyed this AliveMax scam investigation.

The Pyramid Scheme Is Dead

And Empower Network Killed It

Surely old school MLMers will join Empower Network in droves, if for no other reason than to be able to say what they have wanted to say for years…

“No, you idiot, it is not a Pyramid. There is nobody above you getting a cut of everything you do. And yes I can make more than the shysters (sorry Dave and Dave) that started the business, you idiot.”

There it is folks, no more Is this a Pyramid thing? or Is this one of those Pyramid things? or Is this one of those things where you get in and recruit a whole bunch of people to work for you? or Do I have to get people under me?

Have I jumped the gun a little? Well, maybe a little, there are still the many hundreds of viable, honorable, decent MLM business models out there. And it is perfectly okay that they are organized the way they are. It is just that Empower Network has broken a mold and established a new business model that will rock the Affiliate, Multilevel and Network Marketing world.

Empower Network – Show me the Money

To get everyone on the same page…(shameless, in good humor plug go here) Empower Network right now has two residual income producing products and two one time purchase products in its product line right now.

The two residual income producing products are the Empower Network Basic Membership for $25 a month and the Empower Network ‘Inner Circle’ Membership for $100 a month. The one time costs products are the $3000 Costa Rica Mastermind Intensive for a one time fee of $500 and the “The $15K Per Month Formula” for $47. These are the products everyone involved has the rights to sell.

Empower Network – The Pay Process

The pay process or the Non-Pyramid goes like this. And there are two points to it. When you sell something, depending on what product purchase level you are at, the money up to your personal product purchase goes 100% to you. Any “overflow” goes to your sponsor. To explain a little more in detail, if you have only purchased the Empower Network Basic Membership ($25) and you sell a Basic ($25) and an Inner Circle Membership ($100), you get 100% of the Empower Network Basic Membership fee and the $100 from the Inner Circle goes to your sponsor or the next person up your sponsorship line that has bought in at the Inner Circle level. The same thing with the one time phat fee of $500 for the Costa Rica Mastermind. Pretty fair and pretty motivational to boot you would have to agree.

Empower Network – The “Non-Pyramid”

The Empower Network pay structure works this way, initially the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and then every 5th sale goes to your sponsor. That is one level up. Now the pay process is the same. If both you and your sponsor are at the $25 Basic Membership level and on your second sale you sell a Basic, an Inner Circle, and say the Costa Rica products, your sponsor will get the $25. The $100 and $500 will “float” up that sponsorship line to the first person who has bought in at the $100 and then $500 levels (they can but don’t have to be the same person).

The key here for you Pyramid Alert folks is that the people above you do not get a piece of everything you sell. And because it is up to the individual member, they can determine how much sales gets passed over them.

So there you have it, one dead Pyramid.

Folks if you have not seen this thing explained in its entirety you are truly missing out on an opportunity to see the power of this thing.

Do yourself a big favor.

Go to Empower Network right now.

You are thinking about starting a Home-based Business and it seems everyone you are interested in has scam or Pyramid Scheme or Ponzi scheme associated with it. You know there has to be something legitimate out there, but it doesn’t seem likely the more you search the Internet.

Well my friend, let me assure you those legitimate business do exist, for example Empower Network, Numis Network, and Ignite Energy, but in doing your due diligence, lets look at Pyramid Schemes and Ponzi Schemes so, if nothing else, you have concrete knowledge of what they truly are.

Pyramid Schemes vs Ponzi Schemes – Which is What and Who is Where?

The two terms seem to be used interchangeably, so just what are they and how do they differ? The following is from the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov/answers/ponzi.htm) and italicized words below are direct quotes:

“What are some of the similarities and differences between Ponzi and pyramid schemes?

Ponzi and pyramid schemes are closely related because they both involve paying longer-standing members with money from new participants, instead of actual profits from investing or selling products to the public.

Ponzi Schemes – Characteristics

In the Ponzi Scheme arena, typically investments are the vehicle used. Participants will “earn high investment returns with little or no risk by simply handing over your money; the investment typically does not exist.” There is no “No recruiting necessary to receive payments” as the Ponzi scheme again, typically, has a “Promoter generally acts directly with all participants.”

Pyramid Schemes – Characteristics

Now, lets get a definition of what is known as Product Pyramid Schemes. This is from the website How Stuff Works (http://money.howstuffworks.com/pyramid-scheme1.htm) and italicized words below are direct quotes:

“A product-based pyramid scheme is the same concept disguised as a legitimate direct sales opportunity. Here’s how it works:

A distributor recruits 10 salespeople who each pay $500 for a starter kit of products to sell.
The distributor gets 10 percent of each starter kit that’s sold.
The distributor also gets 10 percent of each product that any of his recruits sells, including more starter kits.
The recruits are told that the fastest way to make money isn’t by selling products, but by recruiting more people to buy starter kits.
The people at the top of the pyramid get commissions from everyone in their down-line, the many levels of recruits below them on the pyramid.

“

Pyramid Schemes and Ponzi Schemes Now Unveiled

So there you have it, the information you need to evaluate the Pyramid Scam-iness of your Home-based business ideas. But from the Home-based business analysis view point, how does Empower Network totally remove those concerns? What is it about the Empower Network opportunity that addresses or solves those possible issues? Well lets go…

Empower Network offers an Amazing Product

The Empower Network has a Basic entry level that immediately grants a home based entrepreneur access to a High Page Ranked, High Authority (see image below), and Highly Trafficked website. It also has available essential training. There is not a forced buy in price. For example there are also two other levels of entry available; an Inner Circle at $100 per month where bleeding edge marketing techniques and training are made available, and a one time $500 purchase for a “taped” Marketing Seminar given in the mountains of Costa Rica.

Empower Network Affiliate Pay Structure – Flat as a Pancake

With the Empower Network, everybody and their brother are not getting a “piece of your action”. In fact the only time your sponsor gets involved is when there is a “pass-up” sale which is clearly defined in all the presentations and literature (fyi, they are 2, 4, 6, and then every 5th sale). In fact you are getting 100 percent of the price of the product you sell. There are few if any plans like that much less any kind of Ponzi Schemes or Pyramid Schemes.

Empower Network Direct Payment – Impossible to be a Pyramid Scheme

Here is the real key to Empower Network not being or ever being (or ever having been for that matter) one of those Pyramid Schemes or Ponzi Schemes.

All payments for products are made directly to the affiliate.

That alone sets Empower Network apart. In Pyramid Schemes or Ponzi Schemes all monies go to some sort of centralized place, from which payments based on bogus investment returns or influx of new victims is paid out. This absolutely cannot happen in the Empower Network. On an affiliate’s sale of an Empower Network product, “Corporate” gets notification that a sale has been made and the affiliate get 100% of the money deposited immediately into their account (within the limitations of the merchant account agreement) .
